Hi guys,
So this is my first android phone. I bought it in Shanghai, so it comes with bunch of chinese crapware preinstalled which is really annoying.
After doing some research, it appears that the only way for me to get rid of that is to root the phone (which I've never done before).
I have two goals in mind:
1) being able to delete all the crapware that came preinstalled with the phone
2) being able to install "market enabler" so that I can download "real" apps
I have downloaded Dr. Ketan's guide on how to root the SGN.
My phone's info:
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.ZSLA2
Baseband version: N7000XXLA4
So, from the guide it appears that I dont have a direct rootable ROM, and I need to flash (is that what its called?) it with Odin.
Now, I have downloaded the "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip" file. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am guessing that this file is the "rooted factory ROM"...
However, later I came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 with bunch of [stock ROMs].
My goal is to have "normal/factory/oem/stock/whatever you call it" ROM, with SuperUser access aka root.
So, the question is - should I stick with the guide and use "SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS.zip" ROM or should I flash it with one of the ROMs from the [stock roms] thread?
Cheers!

You can do either
KJ1_factoryfs if pre rooted ROM, you won't need to root it after downgrading
While if you downgrade any rootable ROM from stock ROM thread you have mentioned, you have to root it.

BTW,
do I need to install CWM? I am not planning on installing other ROMs or anything like that... just want to wait for the official release of ICS, that's all.
Not compulsory.
You can also purchase mobile odin pro, if you want to update rom to latest version.
Or u can use as it is. But kj1 or any older rom are not tuned as newer one, may experience battery drainage, leg etc, but if u r satisfied, thn you can keep it till ics.

Hello guys, i will explain the story in order, sorry for my bad Grammar.
first i have the official GTI9070 but i forgot the baseband (GB)
then i accept software update that appear in notification bar, my baseband become I9070DXLK2 (GB)
and i see there's CM11 out that can make kit kat running in I9070.
but it requires root to install CMW / TWRP..
so hard to find root zip for DXLK2, and then i found one full ROM rooted then flash it with odin.
my baseband still I9070 (GB) but rooted (binary counter++)
after that i flash TWRP with odin too.
then i try flashing CM11 with TWRP.
it success, but no mobile network.
i search at this forum and someone say "no mobile network happen because flashing from GB (2.3.x) directly to KK (4.4.x)"
he said first update from GB to official samsung JB.
the problem, there's no official samsung JB update for my country/region (DXLK2)
my question, if i flash the official samsung JB update from other region.. let say it italy.. will my baseband change?
if it changed, what's the problem and whats the negative impact? what should i do better?
thx in advance.
PS: my device is Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 (Indonesian)

You don't have any negative impact if you flash any stock JB firmware, only with your warranty if you still have one.
Please, follow this guide from point A (JELLYBEANIZATION): [GUIDE] From stock GB to Custom JB (Noob-friendly)
After you updgraded to JB, ask/read some tutorials linked here: [{INDEX of GUIDES/TUTORIALS}] Galaxy S Advance [GT-I9070].
Be sure when you proceed to do something OR ASK before, NOT AFTER you doing something wrong.

Or maybe removed. Try on samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com
In Canada, have XXLK2 (Africa?). Want JB, use UK version?
I bought my unlocked I9070 almost 2 years ago and am thinking about upgrading to Android 4.1.2 (JB).
On samsung-updates there appear to be lots of JB versions for different regions.
Can I just select the one for Britain (XXLQE)? Is there anything I need to check re: compatibility?

Yes you can flash any stock firmware for I9070. Be sure you don't flash firmware for I9070P.

Flashing worked...once I found a .zip file

I had a lot of trouble trying to get the samsung-updates.com download to work (used the free one, which either didn't start most of the time or died during download). Eventually, I took the filename (for Britain) and Googled it, and found a download site that let me download it (required 3 hours).
Armed with the .zip file and ODLIN, it worked like a charm. All my installed apps and data survived, which surprised me. I thought this would be a vanilla install.

Umm if what you're saying is you that you have not been able to update to kitkat via OTA or with Samsung Kies and you want to update with Odin, then uninstall Kies and then follow the instructions in this thread. The files in this thread are the latest official kitkat release...after you flash them with odin you will be on stock NC2 and any future OTA updates should work properly if you stay on stock.
If not, try rewording your question...

ok
Download Odin here
Download NC2 (kit kat) file here
Open Odin, click on "AP", select the _HOME.tar.md5 file that just downloaded
When your phone reboots and Odin says "PASS!" the upgrade to official kit kat was successful.
Better instructions with screenshots of how to upgrade to kit kat are in this thread
Don't forget to thank @carl1961 for the install guide and @BlackRam1500 for the official kitkat files

No that is not a problem. Upgrading to kit kat this way will safely overwrite your baseband current baseband to NC2.

Yes after you use this procedure you will be receive ota updates
You will only receive OTA updates if you are using AT&T's service.

I am not using the service of AT&T, I am with a company of another country
You will have to use ODIN (when the files are made available) to update from here on out.

I mean, after the update on via ODIN OTA, i do not want to be updates?
You will only be able to manually update with ODIN since you are not on AT&T. So you can choose to not update.
OTA means over the air. It comes from the provider.

Can you verify where you got the file N900AUCUCNC2_N900AATTCNC2_N900AUCUCNC2_HOME.tar.md5

There have been 3 official firmware releases since MI9 - MJ5, NB4, and the latest NC2...sammobile is clearly not up to date
The NC2 files have been used and verified by several devs let alone used by tons of us regular folks with 0 problems...the original post with the NC2 files is here have a read through the thread I think it will put your mind at ease. I think @Walter.White created the HOME file from the stock files which is more reason not to be concerned
Im trying to upgrade my Note 4 N910T to Lollipop 5.0.1. I've been looking around and haven't found a straight answer. Don't really care if I lose root. I just want the Upgrade. CAN SOMEONE HELP?
And I'm guessing you don't have access to Odin/PC or Mac? Then the only way is for someone to upload a Twrp backup of a lollipop stock based rom. That might work.

U need odin till someone makes a zip to update all. Baseband boot and rom. That would be a huge risk. Get to a pc and use odin.

the new official Lollipop firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...sy-steps-stock-odin-n910tuvu1anih-cf-t2903733
Here are the three tools (files) you will need to upgrade to lollipop:

The actual lollipop firmware can be downloaded from

Look for the "Tmobile N910T" Lollipop firmware on SamMobile...
Check it out.
Good luck!

No, that is just the Kernel, You need to flash the entire Firmware. Remember this is an entirely different OS.

if you know someone in the states, send it to them and let them do it and send it back
You should just be able to download the firmware and flash through Odin. It will update everything for you. The only problem is it will factory reset your device. So backup everything. Once you update to 5.0 or above, you can not flash back to KitKat. Just unzip the file, open Odin, click ap, find the file, then flash.

Thanks for yours reply.
I don´t know anyone in us.
If I change android rom, Must I change kernel and modem?
To update ROM, the baseband is: G900AAUCU2ANG3, what rom is compatible? Or the baseband doesn´t matter?
Can I install this in my phone and my baseband?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900aucs4cpa2-odin-files-em-hot-t3372388
Yes. It's only one file. It takes care of kernel and modem. You don't have to do anything else besides flash the one file.

OP,
You will not be able to update the smg900a as long as you are on a network other than at&t . I have the same model and it came with kit kat .
I used this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...w-to-update-to-g900aoca-5-0-keeproot-t3076803
Please be sure to back up your info . You can use your internal storage if you dont have a SD card to store the two files.
Good luck.
