Hi,
when googling for a new Firmware for the K-Zoom I came across this site that
claims to have an Android 5.1 Version for the Samsung Galaxy K-Zoom :
http://www.lollipopupdates.com/tag/samsung-galaxy-k-zoom-to-5-1-lollipop
Is this a valid site and does it work, or is this only a malware site ?
Has anybody tested this yet and what are the new features and also does
the camera still fully work ?
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
Well, the ROM update is locked via a screen locker, where you have to
submit surveys or pay for stupid downloads, so it is probably a fake to
just make money... I guess...

When I speak to Samsung, they deny any chance of new firmware until FroYo is released.
The Samsung Russia website does not (or at least didn't) list the Galaxy S as being available.
So all these firmwares Im seeing here, how genuine are they, and how come they're all from Russia?
Additionally, can I take a copy of my current firmware just in case?
My thoughts exactly. No one knows where these firmware updates are coming from but they are signed with Samsung's signing key else they wouldn't be able to be applied to these phones without getting root access first.
I think (bit of a guess) either these are leaked developer builds of the firmware (which will also explain why they are updating so quickly) or someone has managed to acquire Samsung's signing key. They are recompiling the firmware from Samsung's publicly available source code and putting them out with the updates and fixes.
I think it's the former option but this is just me speculating. If they were coming from Samsung officially then why isn't Samsung making them available via their own website which would have credibility. Even if they were unpolished firmware releases, they could always release them as Beta.
A lot of us have been wondering. Here's my take on this:

If someone with more inside knowledge could enlighten us, it would be great.
Hey guys, my friend has a T-Mobile locked Galaxy S (which he doesn't want to unlock) and he is still on 2.1, I could've sworn froyo had been released but he is saying kies is showing that no update is available, I never had this issue when I used to have my galaxy s, being unlocked meant I was always using the latest fw's. Just looking for some clarification on this issue, thanks in advance. On an unrelated note I will be rejoining android tomorrow or Tuesday, I have now sold my iPhone 4 in favour of the desire HD. P.S can a mod please delete my other thread titled "Has group been released for T-Mobile UK users?" as my stupid iPhone 4 renamed froyo to group, thanks.
Yes it has.

He may need to update to the latest Kies to get it "Kies 2"
If he cannot then details of his SGS's region and current software would be useful to get an answer.

Pricing - Rs.8999/- for Redmi Note
Rs.9999/- for Redmi Note 4G
Availability - Flipkart exclusive from 2nd December through flash sales. Also priority passes are available if you participate in a small quiz on Mi site.
Please guys keep the thread free from off topic discussions.

Your download didn't complete and the package is corrupted. You'll have to download it again.
OT : I opened this thread and bought an Honor 6 myself.

Hi blackyz, what method did you use to root version 38?
For anyone who have issues to update/download the version 38, do the following
Go here, download the rom (version 38): http://en.miui.com/download-218.html#360
Then follow this to update it: http://en.miui.com/thread-17988-1-1.html
Root method:http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=66833&extra=page=3&mobile=2
My Redmi Note got delivered by Flipkart Yesterday, its running v39 however first time I left phone connected, I suspect it downloaded v38 to a folder
called "Downloaded Rom" I think this folder came up after initial use
However phone is running v39 and I've rooted it already straight after the unboxing.

Yes. At least until Feb.
Hate to say it but it's most likely only the start of them being banned in many countries.

MIUI site having JHDMIBH 38.0 AS THE LATEST INDIA version available.
v39??? could not understand pl share full details and any new vissue dealt in v39
a sharma
sharing is power
Does anyone know why even the latest v38 update is build on top of android 4.2.2 when it's almost time for lollipop for most of the new devices.
I mean it should have been KitKat right out of the box. I had high hopes from the v38 update but it kinda disappointed me :/.
Btw is there any chance of KitKat officially in the near future?

asharma7: sorry my Bad, I wrongly posted.
Running JHDMIBH38.0 as it was a OTA update.
Don't know why such a good hardware is so BADLY done on the OS side.
the included 4.2.2 is still buggy, MX Player and many apps crashes on various settings.
Xiaomi is too hesitant to publish the Kernel Sources and that's the prime reason why custom Roms are still not available for this beast.
They have announced earlier that kernel source would be available around new year, lets hope they do that so developers can PORT other available
ROMS and make this device more customization friendly, especially if CM12 gets ported, I'll stick to that without a second thought.
Hi
I have recently purchased Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 (T-715) and rooted it. Few days back android 7.0 has released and I want to upgrade my tablet to android 7.0. It is not possible to upgrade from "About Device" menu as it gives error:
The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software update using Smart Switch on your computer or visit a customer service center.

Last year same thing happened with my Nexus 7 and then I downloaded the rom and manually upgraded it. Now I want to do the same thing for my Samsung tablet but I am unable to find the rom.
Kindly guide me that from where I can download android 7.0 rom for my tablet?
Regards
Lol, you will probably never see android 7 on your device...
It's only available for nexus and the Pixel c for the moment.
And samsung will release it just for a few models.
Galaxy tab s2 may not be one of these

Its a bad news
Is there any general version of which can be downloaded and installed? like in linux kernels we have a "vanila" version which is originally released without any patches etc.
That's not true. As SamMobile published some times ago, our sm t-715 it's likely to be updated to the latest android version 7.0. Same as the other variants. There are no official informations though, but we will see in the future what happens. Personally by one side i think that our tab has the right specs to be updated, on the other side i'm afraid about two things:
1) Samsung could be lazy and forget a relatively new and high spec device to be updated
2) Developement community isn't very populated and every version of Android Nougat that will be out unofficially (if one there will ever be) will broken fingerprint support and Mobile network on LTE variants.
P.s i'm very sorry, i wish to link you to the article i saw on internet but i cannot fin it, very sorry.

Realistically, I think we will all be waiting somewhere between 6 months to 1 year, IF this tablet gets Android 7 at all.
If not, its a case of waiting for a custom rom.
If you wanted instant updates, you should have bought the Pixel C, (as the Nexus 9 is rubbish.)
tab s1 has just got android 6 so maybe there is hope for s2 and 7
I have two questions:
1. Are custom roms safe?
2. If you find any custom rom, will you post link here?
Thanks

No, never use a custom rom. All veterans here on XDA know only the North Koreans publish custom roms in hopes of tricking a newbie to download it so they can hack your computer.
If you have a friend that is using a custom rom on their phone please block there phone number if it is not too late, as a phone call from them will affect your phone as well.
Hello guys,
I saw on the forum of the M20P that there's a tool used to update the device using a locked BL.
I wanted to know if anyone of you tried this, and if yes, can you tell us the result
I really don't know if this method could actually works on our device...
There's the thread link : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/how-to/manual-upgrading-mate-20-pro-bl-locked-t3905924
Thks guys for your help with the community :fingers-crossed:
I'll answer to myself,
I tested the method just above, and yes I managed to update my M20 to 9.0.0.237
I followed this tutorial video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp4k3uFDxf4 , and i used the tool listed on the thread I linked in OP.
There's a screenshot of my phone showing the version and the security patch I have now.
For the next updates, you have the choice guys, you can use Firmware Finder app on the playstore or use this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20/how-to/guide-manual-updating-firmware-t3892686.
BTW, thx to @OldDroid and @mikeos for their amazing job
I have HMA-L09 (single SIM) C432E10R1P16
Vodafone brand on the box, but software is unbranded, no vodafone crap stuff nor bootlogo, infact is C432
Just after turning on after hard reset I saw something branded, but 100% uninstallable
So, should I upgrade with this method, I'll definitely get rid of brand? and will I lose my data?
Of course I have locked BL, I used to have rooted phone since my first Android 2.1, so sad
