Hi guys!
I bought my galaxy s from one of the first batches coming in to Norway a couple of months ago. This phone got sold with JF3 firmware wich maybe is one of the first and most buggy ones.
Now a buddy of me bought the phone just the other day, and hes phone got JM1/2?
Why the HELL is this update not available through Kies for my phone?
Its not that i dont know about Odin, but i really do not want to use it before 2.2 comes via kies. If even that gets through to my phone.
Is there a good reason for this?
Ask your provider!
He is responsible for his branded update.
Ask your telco/provider. Only they know.
I had a JF3 too and didn't see JM1 in kies. Unbranded GT-I9000.
Didn't really think about it and flashed JM8 with odin anyway... and tons of others to
Well, it would be quite hard to ask providers. As both phones are operator less. Or whatever word is used for it in English.
They are sold free from an agreement directly from the factory.
My unbranded Galaxy S came with JM2 (German market) not sure if it same everywhere else in the EU.
It's to do with the product code and kies/samsung. For example I've got JF3 on an unlocked phone in the UK. Everybody knows that JM1 is available via kies, however my phone has a different product code so I cannot find it.
Doing the kies registry hack allows me to find the update.
My theory is that samsung keeps a list of firmwares for every product code, and unfortunately it hasn't been updated for our codes.

WOW! That was completely impossible to understand. But I'll give it a shot. It sounds like you're having a Note repaired or are shopping for a new one? And that you are worried it won't support HSPA+ or be upgradeable to ICS? If that is indeed the case, fear not. The Note supports GPRS, EDGE, & HSPA data and is readily upgradeable to ICS via OTA or MobileODIN if you're impatient. I hope this helps ease your mind. Best of luck!

At last! it really is true despite reduced after repair and was not working properly as do not want 3G and very hard to receive and is only CDMA. Then I made complaints about 3 weeks now waiting for repair resubmit so I do not! bleached they have offered to repair that Vodafone Samsung present have just checked that whitens 3G modem cable is loose and not securely closed even sent erroneous repair.
Previously Board is broke and new replacement board, but 3G is cable loose and not locked in oged.
Now he works normal again and finally Kingdroid twist.
close late here.
I am assuming that you are using an online language translator,cuz your post is almost impossible to understand.
Please tell us your problem in your native language. Maybe there's somebody here who speaks your language and could translate it for us.
Good luck
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini that was brought to me because the user was experiencing trouble connecting to the T-mobile network. There would be cell service for about an hour, after which all service would be lost. The problem is reported to have started after performing an update a few weeks ago, which the user thinks was a firmware update. Now, the phone receives no cell service at all. I should also add that the phone was purchased through Groupon, and because of that they were told (by T-mobile) that they'd have to send the phone to China if they want it fixed.
Now this is where it starts getting pretty complicated. First, I tried checking the phone's IMEI number on imei.info. The result shows a Motorola W375 flip phone, not the Galaxy S3. I'm not sure what this means. Secondly, the model number of the phone is GT-I8200L which means that it's for the Latin American market. But it was working for 2 months, so I'm guessing it's not an issue with the hardware?
I'm pretty tech-savvy, but I'm by no means an expert when it comes to fixing phones, so I have no idea what to do at this point. The phone doesn't appear to be unlocked, since my (non-T-mobile) SIM card doesn't work. I'm finding lots of articles for things like "flashing firmware" and whatnot, but I don't know whether this would help. Maybe it's a lost cause at this point?
I'd greatly appreciate any help!
Its a known problem with a Samsung update! There must be a new OTA update from Samsung! Try this!

Thanks for your reply! But there seems to be no new updates. It says that the latest updates are already installed. The Android version is 4.2.2.
Where you from?

I'm in the US (Hawaii, to be more exact)
Try to flash an older firmware from Samsung

So I just bought a 920i version from eBay (monoprice store). Brand new unlocked. I am on at&t. Downloaded the Samsung pay apk and after signing into my Samsung account via Samsung Pay. After signing in I am getting this message "You must use your own Samsung Account to use Samsung Pay". Well, it is my own account.
So question: Has anyone got Samsung Pay working on N920I with a US carrier (more specifically at&t). Do you have a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance!

I'm in the same boat. I've got an SM-N920I that I'm using on AT&T. It's from Australia, with a region code of XSA (meaning sold SIM-free from general retail channels, not from a carrier).
Unfortunately, it's more involved than just installing an APK. In addition to just the app, there are library files that need to be placed on the system partition. Even if you get those libraries on there, you may still run into problems.
In my case, Samsung has said they're planning on launching Samsung Pay in Australia in the first quarter of 2016, so I'm happy to just wait for a software update to my phone that enables it. If your N920I is from Singapore, New Zealand, or Papua New Guinea, there's no telling how long it might be before Samsung launches it in those countries. So, if Samsung Pay matters a lot to you, I'd say to just flash some Australia firmware, and just wait for a software update early in 2016.

Oh wow! Its much more screwed than I thought. Samsung Pay has been getting a lot of good feedback and I started getting excited about it, until I saw your correct explanation. Thanks!
How about my version of n920i? Will I get it or should I flash another official rom? If yes..... Which one? Thanks

I can't tell by that. Open the file /system/CSCInfo.txt and tell me what it says.

You don't need to be rooted. You should be able to open that file using the file manager app of your choice.

Just found the way this morning googling around. I'm on XSA as well.
It sucks that you can't have best of all worlds, even after paying for an unlocked device in full. I wanted timely Samsung updates (no go at&t). I wanted tethering without rooting (no go at&t). I wanted Unlocked. All good with N920i and then I REALLY want the Samsung Pay....f***. Don't even know I will have the phone until the Q1 2016.
Here it is...
What firmware can I install in order to have samsung pay

Well, here's the problem. Samsung does not sell unlocked, SIM-free devices at general retail in the US. The only way to get an unlocked Samsung device here is to buy one from an importer like Expansys or one of the countless eBay sellers who get them.
Because of that situation, the game is changed a bit. Yes, we're buying an unlocked device, but we're buying one that was not intended for use in the US. Its radio bands, apps, etc. are all tailored toward the country or region where the device was originally intended to be sold. Notice how there's a video call button in the phone app? No US carrier supports that. Notice how the phone supports LTE-A, but not on the AT&T band pairs? That's because it's tweaked to use the LTE-A band pairs that carriers in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore use. As for the ROM and apps, if you're on XSA as well, then you know. The ROM is as light and bare as a Samsung ROM is going to get, but it's still intended for Australia. So, until Samsung Pay launches in Australia, I think we're out of luck. :/

Samsung Pay is not presently available on any N920I firmware. Judging from your CSC, you're running one of the Singapore firmware variants. But, if you want to get it the fastest, I'd recommend flashing the Australia firmware. The N920I is only sold in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Papua New Guinea. Of all those countries, Australia is the only one where Samsung has actually said that they plan on launching Pay (right now, Q1 2016). So, once it launches in Australia, you'd get a software update that would enable Samsung Pay.
So in theory, if we flash a Tmobile firmware, will Pay work? Will have the bloatware but I'm not too worried about bloat. Can be disabled with Package Disabler Pro
Edit: Sorry, I was stupid. the two have different model numbers.

Not going to happen. You're dealing with two completely different model of phones. The T-Mobile firmware is for SM-N920T. We have an SM-N920I. You cannot flash N920T firmware on an N920I. Odin and the phone's security policy won't allow it.
What a damn disappointment..... Vodafone wallet it's not working because note 5 was not officially launched in many countries so it won't get certified soon.... Android pay is only for USA, samsung pay also.... What a f*cking joke.... I was hoping to pay with my phone. What's the point of a flagship smartphone when certain apps and features I can't use....

It's not that cut and dry. The way Android Pay and Samsung Pay work, they have to work with local banks in each individual country. One worldwide mass rollout just isn't feasible. There's way too much legal and political risk.
Really? That's your explanation? Come on bro.... Google wallet is available for years... It never came to Europe, and Android Pay will never come also.
I don't know your country of origin but.... I sent 2 weeks ago over 1000€ to get the note 5.... And I'm just sick and tired of waiting to use certain features.
