Thanks but this is the old version 20 "L" ! 20 "Q" is the most current.
Thanks for the work anyway.

ive checked and its not on the list of "stock roms". as someone said "they were amazed the devs missed this one."
sorry i had the other thread deleted because i was having major upload issues and the thread digressed into 3 pages of chit chat. now its up. i wonder what can be done with it. it would be great to see alot of satisfied ANZACS with perhaps a better firmware for us.

you did a great job but the firmware 20 L had serious problems including the fix of the GPS satellites if the gps was not active at startup! all resolved with the 20 q

I will try that CP.bin file sometime this week and let you know. I think the AP part is just the applications part.
Anyway, it is a good will from your side that you took this much trouble to upload the entire stock ROM for us. Appreciate that very much .
(ANZAC was my way of creating humor .Just meant AU and NZ people. Sorry if I offended anyone , especially the pacifist types).

cher. anything special about that fw? why did the 2degree's agent recommend this one, and puts it on nz fones?

Maybe because they didn't have access to v20Q firmware?
I agree with join85 though, v20Q resolved almost all of the bugs of earlier GB firmware, and at the same time, improves on overall speed.
I definitely recommend keeping this thread though. It never hurts to have backup roms everywhere.

ive install the leak and rooted now...
for dongrade can i run smartflash with 20q?!
will work?!

I think there are some kdz flashables of v20q around. most are cwm zip's though.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy GT-S5839i - Flash assistance

Hello everyone, Found this set of forums while looking for information on how to and what is the best version of, to flash my phone due to several simple but aggravation issues so any assistance on choosing any particular version of flash would be deeply appreciated.
My main issue with the standard software is actually just the inabilty to to move ALL apps on to my SD card considering the internal capacity on this model is only 162.1 mb and with apps like Facespaz taking up a wopping 21 meg on its own, well I'm sure there are some of you who know where I am coming from.
Anyhow, any assistance would be deeply appreciated.
Kind regards

XXLI1 (deodexed, by Alucard1989pl), root, just use Link2SD to link you apps to the second SD partition (both should be primary).
If it worked, please hit the thanks button and say if it worked or not. (BECAUSE IT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME ! ! ! ! ! (Strange, because before it worked fine (I used, yes, useD, Rafael.Baugis kernel, and now I don't) and I get now: "Error: no such device")).

Because I haven't seen it. This is a new kernel source, which require better publishing so our devs can work through it. I haven't copied it from your post. I got it on our facebook page for mi-410. Thank you.

I am not saying that you copied from my post... even I took it from facebook page and as this kernel is only for RC 3 I posted in that thread... if check thread carefully you will find on last between page only....no need to post separately .... anyway my point is in regards to forum space which is wasting because of repeated post and thread....and its two month old ... no point in posting separate after such a long time ...

Besides the pushing of that old topic, I've tried a number of the newer/recent firmwares and they all have one or the other bug. Something is not working, crashes, or screws up. Nasty stuff sometimes. I am back to the 2.3 series, and perhaps I may refresh my now very old MacLite with a Sharp version. Depends a bit on my time, but I think it's still the better firmware for our phone. That is, one where everything works!

Yeah it's true that we are still struggling to get a good, nicely working ICS+ ROM. But without trying new ones, it's impossible to fully utilize our device capabilities.
Hope for the best bro.
And yeah Sharp is a great ROM.

[ROM][Stable]Stock Debloated 1.23.1550.3 MetroPCS

This Is My First Shot at making something for this device,so please bear with me.
This Is A Custom Stock ROM that has been debloated and slimmed down a bit to my personal liking.
ive used SuperR's Kitchen on Ubuntu to bring this to you guys.
i used Captain_Throwbacks Metro Base ROM as a starting point.
i will include my list of apps that i have removed in the second post.
i would suggest a factory reset and dalvik/ART wipe
as always,if your device explodes or stops working,i assume no responsibility for any damages or data loss.
flash at your own risk.
if anyone has any suggestions and/or input,please feel free.
im no developer,just taking a shot at this.
the goal is to remove as much bloatware as possible,whilst maintaining stability.
:highfive:
i added /data/app support as well as busybox & deodexed the ROM.
im currently uploading my first build to google drive and will share links shortly.
bear with me as i dont have the best internet connection.

Just looking at channel log I'm assuming this is still relevant. I'm on V3 and with some frustration (I don't have Wi-Fi and had to trick my 6yr old laptop to boot up) I got it running well.
As someone who has hard bricked smart phones since the xv6800, this is a first good go. Inspires me to start cooking my own roms.
Suggestion: A file browser would have made it so much smoother. No one with half a brain will ***** about es file explorer or root browser being cooked in. Fortunately bad habits inspired me to always backup original stock. Most people would've been screwed there. Dirty flash. Pdanet. Got it all up and going.
Keep up the good work. Look forward to any tweakings you find out of my league

Satisfied end user

Thank you for the input,much appreciated.also,i updated OP with a newer build that uses nova launcher as default and puts back a few apks that got cutout by mistake.

My phone got simlocked after trying this ROM. It's still locked even after restoring the nanodroid backup I made prior to flasing this ROM.
I'm not in the US sooo I am not using sprint.
Any advice?
Thanks

This ROM is based off of the original Stock MetroPCS USA variant,i didnt add anything that would potentially affect your simlock status.ive only removed stuff that was already there.
If youre not in the US and youre not using MetroPCS Variant of the phone,you shouldnt be flashing this ROM to be 100% honest.flashing incompatable firmwares across devices can sometimes lead to bricks.whats your Carrier and device?

I agree. It's very unusual.
I got this phone from a local phone shop. The owner seem to have unlocked the phone with some kind of service. I contacted my carrier who wrote down a couple of numbers from inside the phone (including the original phone number) and boom, I was able to use the phone with my number.
I have a theory about the error. Maybe you could see if that makes sense:
Maybe the phone isn't locked. But after a factory reset it keeps trying to "activate" the phone using the methods given by sprint.
There's this one step during the initial setup (right after factory resetting the phone) where it tries to register the phone, and fails. This step takes at least tem minutes and returns an error that locks up the phone.
I think the phone assumes that it's locked because it's not able to "reach" sprint servers and denies all incoming and outgoing calls/messages because of this.
If you know a way out of this please let me know.
Another user also provided me with an app that seems to be solving the issue. But it's not marshmallow compatible. Any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks a lot. And great debloating work you did there

Again,what is your Carrier?if youre using anything other than MetroPCS USA,you should not use this ROM.thats #1.#2 is if youre using sprint,you should get the RUU to return the phone to factory software,and i assume youre using sprint because our Metro devices havent gotten MM yet,and you mentioned it.
And yes,CDMA/Sprint phones will not work correctly if theyre not provisioned from the carrier correctly.so if the activation is failing,then youre not going to be able to use the device to send messages etc until its activated correctly.
Suggestion,try using nightbreeds MM ROM thats for those kinds of carriers.

Oh lesson learned. I'm from Yemen and my carrier is YemenMobile (CDMA). I don't know why but I assumed that the phone won't mind the ROM since it was kinda unlocked. SORRY.
The phone was saying Sprint when I bought it. I think I'm going to get back to factory and see if that does the trick. :-/
My extended apologies

Firstly as I don't know about US carriers double check to see if you can unlock the bootloader in developer options (OEM unlocking) then follow this guide I used minimal ADB fastboot and had to add the razer driver via have a disk this is the guide to follow

Just wanted to update you all, have just received a communication from THREE UK saying they are running final testing before deploying the update for us. I know people have flashed the stock firmware and have already updated to Pie, this is for those who haven't and are still waiting. By the way, just to add, if you want to run good games one your phone, download Dolphin Emulator, just tried it and it runs games like Splinter Cell and Resident Evil Zero on your Razer 2

Just to let you know, I found this article on the interweb which describes the process of an update being rolled out. It does state that if a carrier wants extra features included in the update, this takes extra time and testing, so that gels with the response I got from the support guys. I am leaning towards trusting the response I got from this
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/how-android-software-update-sony/amp/

Rolling out NOW! Just checked for the update through the settings and it's available.
Downloading immediately!

Update is indeed live now
Could anyone post the system update changelog for me?

Heya Guys and gals,
Get mashing that update button cuz its live and available I hope my updates and communications have been helpful over the past few weeks. Enjoy and LLAP. Lets hope it works flawlessly

All installed this end. No issues to report! At long last!!!
