Good news for us UK users...
I used to be able to update my rooted devices via Kies with the guaranteed 'official' Samsung ROM... ('cos OTAs don't work on rooted phones)
Kies says S2 Tab isn't supported, and to use 'Smart Switch' instead. Does Smart Switch upgrade firmware??
TIA

Anyone else have the 5.1.1 update on the s2 8.0. I'm still stuck on 5.0.2

Is there any way to install 5.1.1 on a S2 bought at France?

Yes, you can simply flash one of the available 5.1.1 versions from other regions.
Will work just fine, and you'll notice no difference.

Yesterday at night I did it. I've used the Canada version but this one it doesn't have the "Mange Apps" in the Smart Manager to Auto-Stop the apps. I wanted that but can't know for sure in which one it's enabled.

Does manually upgrading with ODIN mess up KNOX and the tablet's warranty status? I'm on 5.0.2 as well.

No, official firmware does not trip knox.

Unfortunately for the T815Y there is only 5.0.2, no 5.1.1 released yet...

I've downloaded the Canada 5.1.1 version and keep getting a Status Bar Notification:-

Is there a way to disable these notifications?

I haven't had any problems with mine. I have some Samsung apps disabled but I don't think that's the fix. Are you sure yours is T710 and not some other variant? Did your KNOX counter get tripped?

Mine's the T810 which was originally running on UK version 5.0.2. I rooted it, flashed a TWRP recovery and flashed the Canadian 5.1.1 version. KNOX was tripped when rooted.

Oh right. I did a Google search about your problem earlier and found out you have two disable a service or two if the same thing happens on the Samsung S6 Edge . Read the ROOT YOUR PHONE AND UNINSTALL KNOX part.

Any word when the OTA update to Android 5.1.1 is coming for the Galaxy Tab S2 in the UK?
It's out for other countries. I'd rather not have to doing anything unofficial if I can help it, especially when it's been out in other countries for some time now.
Thanks

It's not actually unofficial is it? Its still stock firmware.
What are you expecting to be different?

As I understand it the Android 5.1.1 update from Samsung isn't available in The UK but looks like it is elsewhere. My Tab S2 is still stuck on Android 5.0.2.
I'm waiting for Samsung to release it OTA than installing firmware intended/released for a different market.
Thanks.

The firmware is identical aside from a few apps here and there.
Only the csc is different which doesn't have to be flashed.

[Q] I9305 in Australia. Has HK 4.3 firmware. Need help

Hi,
I just bought a brand new network unlocked I9305. When I went ,to use it I noticed that reception was very poor in my area whereas my old S2 was great. I checked the device details against those on Sammobile firmware and found it was from Hong Kong. I also noticed that the only i9305 android 4.3 release for Australia is an official Optus one which I assume has all the Optus bloatware which I want to avoid if possible.
After reading numerous threads here I found the current firmware has the Knox bootloader and currently set to 0.
Is there a way to flash another official stock XSA 4.3 firmware that will work properly in Australia using odin, that won't upset or trigger Knox?

Im in Sri Lanka. U may have to confirm whether the base band is compatible for Aus.
It does not have any carrier bloatware.
Apps that comes with the OS can be turned off in kitkat (at-least in 4.4.4). So dont worry about bloatware.
I also managed to get it rooted using "CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305.tar"
Great I'll check that out. Many thanks
Also note that,
when u root 4.4.4 using the mentioned autoroot file the SuperSU app will force close. Don't worry just manually install SuperSU version 2.02 and it will be fine.
If u cant find it let me know. The version in google play is 2.01 and does not work for 4.4.4
Cheers :good:

It seems 5.0 will require not only the 5.0 kernel but the new bootloader from the new firmware in order to successfully boot, both which are not an option for our locked bootloader devices.

Correct, and even then it's been my experience that the ota update may still fail and you may need to first Odin back to stock NCE in order to successfully take the ota update.

True indeed. Unfortunately I can't post the link but send me a message if interested. Nevertheless, I will see if I can post a Mega link after some time.

Exynos update is only available in one region, though it’s only a matter of time before the update becomes available to others either through Samsung Kies, an OTA or both methods. To check for the OTA, you can always head to Settings> System> About Device> Software Update.:thumbup::thumbup::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

How to install kazakstan firmware to india s5 exynos octa????
hi i have downloaded the kazakstan firmware and i want to install it to s5 india..
my phone is not rooted
please tell me how can i install the firmware?
I am on my 3rd reinstall, first I upgraded via Odin on top of kitkat, and system was too slow, 2nd I rooted via auto root (It works btw) and apparently I deleted with Titaniun Backup something important and system refused to boot. 3rd reinstall I just rooted and deleted some bloatware and everything is working ok. This is Multilingual btw. overall not so fast no so slow, I use cm12 official nightly in another device and its just a bit slower. Used Sammobile link to get the file
Hi! i downloaded it today and it's running now! works great! i don't know how to root the device with android 5
It works perfectly. Although I tried different versions of the country. Can we root that? Is anyone try to root it?

I'm on 5.0.1 Lollipop only because I downloaded the update from XDA and installed using ODIN. It is was a very easy process and does NOT void your warrany as you are not rooting the phone.
Bought my phone from Three last week and it came with 4.4.4.
To many problems with lollipop at the moment I am rolling back to 4.44.

I might try that,I haven't heard of it before though so I'll have to look into it a little bit more. Another question, let's say the official lollipop update comes out. How would I get around downloadin that after I uninstall the unofficial update?
I'm in UK and i recently update to 5.0.1 with odin ... yes, the warranty was NOT void but battery life it's quite poor ... i will wait for official UK 5.0.1 for EE. Untill then i will downgrade to 4.4.4 ...
I'm on BOC3 and find the battery to be excellent. Definately a better build than DBT.

I think this is the netherlands but works fine on my f unlocked UK.
Has to be said I was disappointed with the initial german release, the contacts app crashing constantly was a real PITA, I rolled back since then and found KK is far more stable.
Think what has been disappointing from Samsung is they are being pretty poor in software roll out planning, it is bad now however I am wondering how it will be after the S6 is launched globally.

It won't be "formatted", you'll have to do the factory reset yourself and since it is an official ROM from Samsung you phone will be eligible for later OTA's

Your internal/external SD cards will not be formatted, and you should still be able to receive OTAs after flashing. There is more information and tutorials on XDA/elsewhere on the internet ☺
I'm on 5.0.1 on BOC3. BOB4 wasn't anything fantastic after the initial hype of it being Lollipop died, but BOC3 was a noticeable upgrade to even BOB4. In my experience anyway. I have an unbranded 910F and flashed the BOC3 via ODIN. I'd highly recommend it!

When you root the S6 edge (any variant) PingPongRoot prevents OTA updates from installing.

It all depends. I would recomend that before you take the update and permanently lose root, try installing a custom ROM.
There are a variety of custom ROMs available for the Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge. They all outperform the 5.1.1 build.
Try finding one in the following subforum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6-edge/development
If one of these ROMs does not perform as well as you expect, just use Odin to install the official firmware.
