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)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900and3tong3keeprootota-zip-t2862299
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.

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.

It showed you because its the latest F/W for your location.As far as rooting,simple search would do.Go to dev section and search.Or read this.
Basically, most ota updates will lose root. Safest way to keep root on update is use mobile Odin on device and download update package from samfirmware or Dr. Ketans guide.

Hello all,
I have read many posts about rooting the phone above but am confused.
All i want to do is root the phone and keep the original rom.
If i root it then update to 4.1.2 jellybean when its released for my phone do i have to root it again?
I really need to know step by step the process so i dont mess it up.
Firstly i beleive i need to backup my iemi is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915 the correct procedure?
I then save that file it generates incase i need to restore is this correct?
I was then going to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414 but am confused where it says "Flash an Insecure Kernel before using Samsung Quick Root".
Where do i find an insecure kernal for the above phone?
I then read about ClockworkMod Recovery what does this do and should i use it?
Can someone please help me step by step as im really new to Android.
Sorry for so many questions but coming from years having an iphone to Android its like wow.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Obagleyfreer i read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32235061&postcount=1 and unsure of part 13.
I want to root but just keep the standard rom that the phone came with.
Also if i update to 4.1.2 jellybean do i need to backup and root again?
You just need to flash the zip that's linked in part 13 to get root access.
You do this in CWM recovery.

Hi
Seems like you ar pretty novice to this.
If you root you cant update to latest from Settings -》About -》 Update. Root makes it imposible that way.
Instead you have to flash the latest rom from www.sammobile.com using Odin (windows) and rootvit again.
Or you wait till some one kind pre roots the rom and makes it flashable through Clockworkmod (easiest way)
All the strange words you have to look up your self.

Ok i check www.sammobile.com and i dont see a version of 4.1.2 jellybean for my phone.
Will the international versions of 4.1.2 work on my phone?
Will they have bloatware or carrier logos?
When i flash a rom do i have to flash the modem as well?
Can i just flash rom over rom or should i clean the cache first?

Its not released yet for every country. I dont find it for sweden either.
And you can expect the same thing from updated rom as the rom you are on now.
The roms from sammobile is only for your country becaus it contains the proper modem and apn info for your country and carrier.
As I said before best way to get a rooted and neat rom is letting the experts in xda compile a version that is flashable through cwm.
Look in the description if modem is included.
Hello guys,
I've been using XDA for a long time to figure out problems related to my devices. Recently I bought Samsung Galaxy S III LTE in Pakistan, having baseband I9305XXBMA2.
I searched a lot to find any link to give me a stock 4.3 update for my phone but I couldn't get one.
I shall be really greatful if you could let me know any way to update it, but seriously I don't want to root my phone. But if rooting is the only option to be left, please let me know.
Thanking you in advance.

Hi
Your current firmware allows you to root the phone easily, and you can then use Mobile Odin to upgrade to 4.3 without losing root. Stock 4.3 firmware has Knox bootloader which prevents you from rooting, modding etc. I would advise that you search XDA for 4.3 discussion to learn a bit more about Knox bootloader.
Since you are not interested in rooting, search for your region's 4.3 firmware here:
1) http://www.sammobile.com
2) http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305
You need to understand that you cannot downgrade from 4.3 firmware without tripping Knox flag.
Good luck.

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.
Thanks
I could do with ODIN and this files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/g900aucs4cpa2-odin-files-em-hot-t3372388
