I want to know, can we flash G900F (snapdragon version) stock rom via odin in G900A (AT&T version)...I dont think that this will hardbrick the device......
Someone please reply
Probably not in my opinion, if youve got nothing to lose just give it a shot and if it bootloops or whatever just reflash and fix it, flashing the wrong rom wont hardbrick you. Also on a sidenote, try to be a little more patient, impatience wont get you very far here.

Hi Friends,
I see that the ICS Update will arrive sometime between may/june. i have a rooted Galaxy note using this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
i just wonder when the time comes do i have to unroot to update or can i just update.. im new at this android world so i would appreciate any help i can get, thanks
Dont worry, sure you will get update to ICS
But how you have to update this can mentioned only after release of ICS, And yes it take few hrs to know just after release of ICS, you need is to just stay tuned here.
Just remember i said above in term of keeping your root intact. If you dont want to keep root, just you can flash Stock ROM of your country anytime, N just update ICS over Kies whenever it release over Kies.
Hi,
I have similar question. Previously I had a KK5 rom before I gave my note to Samsung in warranty for screen replacement. They flashed XLA4 rom and CSC is also changed now to JPLA1. Now KIES says it cannot upgrade my ROM. My question is: is it still possible to receive OTA updates (including ICS when it is available). Please note that my phone is not rooted. Thanks in advance.
To get update with Kies/OTA
your device should have installed ROM from your region, as well CSC should also be same as your region
Check CSC with *#272*IMEI#
Remember, changing CSC will wipe off data.
Sorry to bother you again. using *#272*IMEI# shows JED (which is correct for Saudi Arabia). There are other options to choose from e.g. KSA (which I think is also for Saudi Arabia but I don't know). Do you think changing will solve the problem? And is there any other danger (other than wiping the data) with changing the CSC? Thanks again.
Nothing more thn data wipe happen after changing csc.
Your installed rom shud b same for your region as csc.
If your rom is older for region, kies will show msg, you have update. If your rom is latest for this region, kies will msg you have latest firmware.
In other condition kies won't recognise your rom n won't allow to update.

Sure, when updating to stock you will lose the root, so you dont need to worry about that...You can look around and there are ways to flashing to next version if you want to mantain the root, tools like mobile odin can help you with that..... but i do recommend you to take a look arround the forum, you like me probably end up using custom roms
Regards

Hi iam a newbie
I have been seeing lots of thread where note users are willing to go back to GB from ICS
And also have seen threads with NOTE BRICKED with OFFICIAL ICS OTA GERMAN rom installed via kies or OTA .. And also about eMMC bug or somethkng i heard which requires the note to be send back to samsung.
I love my note on GB but ics is ics afterall thats why i want it but my question is and i apologise if it annoys anyone as i am a newbie
So if i change my region by the easiest method without any bricking risk of changing SCS TO DBT OPEN GERMAN and then upgrading to OFFICIAL ICS VIA KIES OR OTA so will all these errors, bugs and note getting bricked, eMMc bug etc etc
Are they likely to happen to me as well? ?
Or is ot only happening on those Galaxy note which have installed official ics open germany rom via odin and other risky ways. . Or only to those note who previously had rooted and were using on custom roms. .
So plz can anyone clear my confusion so i can finally decide weather or not to upgrade to ics. ..
tnx in advance
Details regarding my device : bought 3 weeks ago. Never rooted or used a custom rom and No intention of rooting or using custom rom in future.
Plz provide the advice so i can make a decision on weather or not to upgrade.

hello m8. Like u i'm also a newbie. I can tell you that i've recently bought my note, unlocked version.
Today i've rooted it twice, @ 1st using europe rom and then france rom with portuguese csc.
Rooted it teice because with the first riot in kies started to say that i couldnt upgrade it.
Then aftwr many reading i've decided to upgrade to 4.0.3. Used dr. Ketan guide in the dev section and worked fine on my phone. I've tested alnost everything and till the moment i have not encountered any bug or mal function.
But as they say in the post there are some reports of some bugs or even worst some notes that "died".
I leave here a screenshot after the update.
Cheers
Thnks for the info mate
But i really dont wish to root thats why after seeing the thread which said uograding by just changing region plua widout root thats what made me confident enuf to finally go ahead and upgrade and give it a try..
But still worries me as daily i see threads here created with someeones brick either stuck in odin or recovery etc or either bricked bc Of ics.
So i want ics the easiest way possible widout root and thats only possible by changing region using those codes and selecting DBT and then kies and OTA server treats ur note as a german made note and u can then upgrade to ics... So i wanted to know even those who have uograded this way hav they also the chance of getting these bugs and emmc errors brick etc
If yes then i will wait for a fixed update by samsung

My carrier is T-MOBILE and I like the S5 Active. Dont care about the knox.
Im a noob when it comes to this Locked Bootloader stuff. Wondering if I can ODIN a TMOBILE radio/baseband so I dont have data issues or even ODIN a TMOBILE stock s5 ROM or any S5 rom that has an unlocked bootloader. :cyclops::cyclops:

Be VERY CAREFUL with an 870A...... There are few ROMs that are compatable as of date.
Unity Rom is one that works... Be advised !
Thank You.... Im taking you word.
Still trying to figure out how to root this firmware. Its ANG3. Any advise on this?

Through towelroot, you have to downgrade the kernel. Check the att s5 general forum theres a thread with instructions. Also flashing a tmo rom will not unlock the bootloader.

Hey, this is my first thread so I have no clue what I'm doing
Anyways, does anyone know any good custom ROMs for the Galaxy S6 AT&T version? I found stuff for different carriers, but very few for AT&T and the ones I found, I didn't like.
Also, lets say I rooted my phone and installed a custom ROM (God, I hope I am using the right vocab), that would void my warranty, but what if I "unrooted" it and went back to the original software? Is there a way Samsung would know?
Sorry, if I'm speaking in layman's terms lol I switched from iPhone couple months ago, and I love what I can do with my galaxy but I just want to do more.
Thanks!!
There are no custom roms for the 5.1.1 versions. If you Odin back stock firmware Samsung won't know if you rooted

Great Thanks!
I'm trying to use the firmware I downloaded in sammobile.com
along with Odin 3.11.1 to put the G900M firmware in a G900A .
I tried it for nationalize this device that I bought in the US and does not come with the Portuguese/BR language.
It is possible?
I read something about using a backup with EFS. but I need to do root and a lot of things. Only with the Odin I could?
Thanks!
I think you will brick your device if you flash a FW that is not meant for your device.
Realy Sensei22? Maybe using a diferent version like g900F...
Or a alternativa ROM like cyanogen... Cold you recomend anyone?
don't flash anything that was not meant to be for your phone. CM will require root access, so if you are already on 5.0 or above there is just no way to do it.
Really, you will brick your device. The at&t models are bootloader locked. Flashing other ROMs will brick.

Thank you guys for the tips! I was frustrated, but ok!:crying:
If anyone knows of any good ROM for the 900A ...
Or since I have no way to remove the applications from AT & T ... if someone at least know of any tutorial to add the Portuguese language to the device ...
Thank you!

If it's still on KitKat, there's the possibility of root. Then you can run a custom ROM from the SD card.

Hi. To root G900A follow this link: (from android 4.4.2)

I'm using an unlocked ATT phone on T-mobile, so I don't get updates.
However, everybody assumes is easy to install new firmware after rooting, but I just can't find good step by step instructions on how to update my phone to lollipop. I neet to preseve the root after updating, and ideally get rid of all the ATT bloatware. Unbraded firmware will be ideal, but I can't find lucid comments regarding on how to do it, and if it possible in the ATT 900A.
Thanks.
