[HELP] G800F - How to upgrade to lollipop

Hi,
I'm from Slovakia, I have S5 mini model SM-G800F, G800FXXU1AOG2.
Is there any way to uprage my phone officialy without breaking KNOX, warranty void, or anything else?
There are no new updates when I try to update throught OTA or KIES.
Thanks!

What's your phone's CSC code? Get it and look on this page for a 5.1.1 ROM that matches it:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G800F/
It would be good if someone else could confirm it, but from what I've read if you flash a stock ROM it won't trip Knox warranty code.

AP: G800FXXU1AOG2
CP: G800FXXU1AOG2
CSC: G800FOXX1AOG1
There is not any 5.1.1 ROM for my CSC :/
Any other way?

Are you sure your CSC is OXX? I didn't find any ROM with that code, either lollipop or KitKat. Try using Phone Info from Play Store. It will show correct CSC and if there is a new ROM.

Yes, my CSC is: G800FOXX1AOG1
Here are some photos from Phone Info:
Code:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4LdWx07QQ0xbl92bVFuZlJva3c&usp=sharing
On sammobile there are only 4.4.2 ROMs.

Actually your phone's CSC code is ORX (see second image you've uploaded), and there is no Lollipop for any of the available codes either. I don't recommend flashing any other ROM besides the one for your model, the safest way would be CM13, but it will trip Knox warranty, but then probably it would if you flashed other stock ROMs as well. Maybe someone else with a G800F can help you better, mine is G800H.

And if I flash CM and trip Knox, will I be able to complain the hardware part (for example problems with camera, charging port...)?

if you flash official firmware (even with different CSC) via odin, warranty/knox should be still OK -> http://androidforum.cz/prehrani-softwaru-a-zaruka-t72763.html
guide in czech language you'll understand: http://androidforum.cz/topic71393.html
there are some rumors about marshmallow for SM-G800F
i have s5 mini with csc TMS (t-mobile slovakia) still kitkat 4.4.2 and now i'm getting some ota:
The software update (869.77 MB) but per sammobile there is still no lollipop for TMS, or maybe just their web page is not up to date ?!
any way to find out what is this update about without installing it?
SamFirm for TMS still shows:
Model: SM-G800F
Version: G800FXXU1ANL1/G800FTMS1AOC1/G800FXXU1AOC2/G800FXXU1ANL1
OS: KitKat(Android 4.4.2)

Hi mikronum! I have the very same device as yours:
AP: G800FXXU1AOG2
CP: G880FXXU1AOG2
CSC: G800FOXX1AOG1
And if i use the app "phone info samsung" i get the same information that are in your screenshots (CSC is ORX).
Can i ask you wich file did you download to upgrade to lollipop? It would be of great help for me.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for taking the time to answer me .
I will download the file you have posted and think about doing such update.
Could you please confirm me just a couple of things?
1) after this procedure, how is the KNOX counter? Is it still ok? always 0x0?
2) the CSS code in the downoaded firmware is DBT (germany). What languages are available? Is the italian language available?
Thanks in advance.

After flashing KNOX is still 0x0, I use KNOX without any problems.
Italian language is available.

Is Slovak language also available in DBT firmware? Thanks.

Yes, you can select from all languages you have now on stock firmware.

I just checked from the system settings and .... the phone is downloading some kind of OTA .... i don't know yet if it is lillopop. I will tell you when it finishes ... it is a 886,66 MB update. Maybe Slovakian S5 mini are getting lollipop official update ....

I checked my 800F too and it downloaded an update with the same file size. So I checked available firmware for my region with an application called Phone INFO (star) Samsung (star) and it showed that there is an Lollipop update available on OTG and Kies. SAMSUNG FINALLY MADE IT!
P.S. I don't know why, but when I go to the page where I can upgrade, in description I don't see something like "Upgrade package to Android Lollipop", because my friend's device had it when he updated his samsung phone.

If you are talking about this ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo ) application, i have already been using it.
However, i didn't know that this app is able to tell if there is any firmware upgrade ... can you please tell me in which tab and at which line is there such information?
Thank you in advance

I also don't read anything referring to lollipop when i read the description of the OTA update from the phone. This is the reason why i was holding back. I tought it was another kitkat firmware ....
By the way, did you already downloaded and installed this update on your phone? Can you personally confirm it is lollipop?

Yes, I'm talking about the same application as in the link. How to check available firmware:
When you open the program, there are three little lines on upper corner, so press those and then there should appear some more settings. There has to be a button called "Firmware Browser". Tap on it. Then write your model in first(longer) text box and CSC on second(CSC is region code(like DBT - Germany, XEO - Poland, so there should be written three capital letters, if not - write by yourself(you can find CSC in this program, there's a section called " CSC Codes"). Then, press the button "Find" and there should appear a list with available firmware.

Yes, I can. I downloaded and installed the update. It took me about 15 minutes. Not the S6 level upgrade(a little worse than S6). Here's the photo for proof.

Read this thread:
Go to page 1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3677072
What is your CSC?
You can go to system settings/ about phone/software information/ service providers SW ver. (Look for something like this example TPA/TPA/XEU , should be last line in that section. Yours might be different but it should be in this format CSC/CSC/CSC .)
2nd spot TPA is the your carrier CSC (set by your sim card.)
3rd Spot XEU is where your phone is from.
So look at the second spot for your CSC code.
From your firmware you mentioned this n950fOXM5crha is your big clue why I pasted the above thread!
So know you have the:
Model of note 8 : SM-N950F or SM-N950F/DS (doesn't matter firmware is for both phones.)
The multi-CSC firmware OXM
And your CSC code.
Now you have 4 choices:
1) Connect phone to PC and use smart switch to update phone (if there is one for your csc). This will keep data intacted!
2) You can use samfirm.exe on PC to download the firmware for your model phone and CSC and use the latest Odin to update.
Use "Home-CSC" file to keep data intacted!
Warning DO NOT use "csc" file this DELETE DATA! (Or you
want to delete data.)
3) Use samfirm.exe to download the firmware for any CSC that's in that multi-CSC OXM that's listed in that thread I posted and latest Odin.
Use "Home-CSC" file to keep data intacted! This will keep
your CSC the same!
Warning DO NOT use "csc" file this DELETE DATA! (Or you
want to delete data.)
4) You can wait for OTA!
Good luck!

Note 9 SM-N960F/DS Firmware problem.

I have a Note 9 SM-N960F/DS model. I bought it from KSA (Saudi Arabia). The phone came with Android Pie (9) out of the box.
Unfortunately my friend rooted my phone and now i am running on "N960FXXU3CSFA/N960FOXM3CSFA/N960FXXU3ASF1" version with "Security patch level: 1 June 2019". I am unable to use my Samsung account and all the security features (finger print, Ratina scanner, Face recognition etc).
When i switch back to original firmware i.e
PDA N960FXXU3CSG1
CSC N960FOXM3CSG1
i got all the features functioning but my SIM card shows "Emergency calls only".
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Well, My friend took my phone and told me that he will make it compliant with our local network and make it approved from the Telecommunication authority.
He has downgraded the phone with older firmware version i.e N960FXXU3CSFA/N960FOXM3CSFA,N960FXXU3ASF1. The security patch level is 1 June 2019
I have checked the Knox e-fuse which is not tripped which means its an official ROM and not altered.
Now, i have the latest firmware version downloaded i.e N960FXXS3CSG1 but when i try to install it in my phone it does not recognize my SIM card and phone is in "Emergency calls Only" state.

not sure how you check knox but if he really rooted then its too late and knox cannot state cant be reverted.
typically checking via software is not a good method . going to download mode and checking warranty state 0x0 means is not tripped. anything different means it been tripped/blown.
anyways that dosen't make you phone have no signal though.
i suspect he screwed up the twrp recovery flash procedure for twrp and botched the flash back to stock via odin.
read up on odin and how to use it. get latest version.(search and read)
read up so on how to get latest firmware for your phone and which csc your carrier is so that you can download the correct firmware and have best results for your sim carrier.( in doubt try BTU csc firmware)(but search and read about the subject of phone types firmwares and CSC)
also the firmwares your quoted seem old. not sure why you ended up using it but you should get one that is from july.
E.G.:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/SM-N960F/BTU/
(get the most recent! july 25th)( u can dl odin from there too)
on your PC, install samsung android drivers or simply install samsung smart switch. it will install the necessary components.
in it self smart switch can flash firmware automatically for your device. so you might want to try it first.
if you go towards the odin flash route and found the correct firmware or want to try BTU multi csc as suggested above:
put phone in download mode and unzip on PC firmware and flash with odin BL,AP,CP and CSC. But for csc choose csc.md5 instead of home_csc.md5
(be patient while AP is being checked before adding cp and csc)
edit: details steps on odin flashing procedure below

last but not least don't listen to your friend or let him close to your phone again. reading and searching on xda is much better. everything has been already asked. you just need to search for it.

I haven't try SmartSwitch for N9 but worth to try as it should be able to detect proper csc for your phone.
Else find the latest firmware for your phone with Frija/Samfirm then flash with odin.

well may be your friend tried to change IMEI of phone which is illegal in any country. Match your IMEI with box by dialing *#06#, if IMEI are same then no need to worry. you need to register your phone IMEI with PTA by paying tax. after paying tax they will whitelist the IMEI of your phone and you will be able to make calls.
just for information, my note 9 is also brought from Saudi Arabia, but at that time one device was free, so i got my phone registered by providing my travel details to PTA and they whitelisted my phone.

Please guide me solution.

Hello, I am trying to switch from an Orange operator rom to a Samsung XEF rom, the problem is that when I flash everything goes normally but the rom does not flash and remains in Orange rom. Yet I have no error message.

For some reason I can't get it to detect my phone after plugging it in. Odd.

Yes. Windows is supposed to automatically install the drivers when you plug in your phone.
You may also install them by installing Smart Switch for PC.

give me custom rom first, then will worry how to flash it

Is there any reason (that we know of) why flashing an AT&T device to the unlocked ROM wouldn't work this year as it has in years past?

Hello, I'm trying to switch from the Orange operator to the Samsung XEF rom ROM, the problem is that when I blink, everything goes normally, but the ROM doesn't blink and stays in the Orange rom. I need to make a mistake.

I have the same problem I have orx and I would like xez, dbt multicsc rom via Odin didn't help either
edit:
Problem solved, via Samkey application, S21 5G is already supported

For people who can't switch between csc in the same mult csc pack. OXM multi csc pack contains all the european generic and network branded firmware (csc) so if You are at SFR (part of OXM multi pack), and flash it with BTU (part of OXM multi pack) the SFR will stay. What you need to do is to flash it with different multi csc pack (just see what packs are available for your model), then flash it back with OXM multi pack, and it should switch to some generic csc, then if you instert your sim card it should ask you if you want to customize your phone to the inserted sim card and it will change your csc to the one you want.
EDIT. It works with other models as well, usually there is a domain language in each multi csc pack, and for flagship models it's usually DBT or BTU, for cheaper phones it's usually a langauge where the phone sells the most so for some A series models it's either ROM or XEO or XCZ

Thanks for that!
I am from Brazil and wanted to install my regional stock ROM but everytime I did it, it went back to my carrier's ROM.
What I did in this case was installing an OXM csc (the german DBT) and then trying again with my stock regional ROM (ZTO).
Removed my SIM card and didn't connect to wifi untill I was sure the stock ROM sticked to the phone.
PS: If anyone reading wants a rom from the OXM multipack and is having troubles, try using the Brazilian ZTO stock rom and then go back to yours.

What I did in this case was installing an OXM csc (the german DBT) and then trying again with my stock regional ROM (ZTO).
Removed my SIM card and didn't connect to wifi untill I was sure the stock ROM sticked to the phone.
PS: If anyone reading wants a rom from the OXM multipack and is having troubles, try using the Brazilian ZTO stock rom and then go back to yours.

That's true. ZTO is part of a multi csc pack OWO, so it will work for OXM. Good job mate

My S21 Ultra 5G from AT&T is somehow not getting updates and seems to be stuck on ATLF firmware with the December 1, 2020 security patch. Called AT&T...they blamed Samsung and sent me to Samsung. Samsung blamed AT&T and wants me to travel 50 miles away to a Ubreakifix store (official Samsung repair center). Today I called again and AT&T had me factory reset the phone with the result being the same - - no update - software is up to date.
Frija seems to be downloading the newest AUC8 firmware when I put in the model of SM-G998U with ther correct US code which I hope is the AT&T rom.
Is the firmware from Frija safe?

For people who can't switch between csc in the same mult csc pack. OXM multi csc pack contains all the european generic and network branded firmware (csc) so if You are at SFR (part of OXM multi pack), and flash it with BTU (part of OXM multi pack) the SFR will stay. What you need to do is to flash it with different multi csc pack (just see what packs are available for your model), then flash it back with OXM multi pack, and it should switch to some generic csc, then if you instert your sim card it should ask you if you want to customize your phone to the inserted sim card and it will change your csc to the one you want.
EDIT. It works with other models as well, usually there is a domain language in each multi csc pack, and for flagship models it's usually DBT or BTU, for cheaper phones it's usually a langauge where the phone sells the most so for some A series models it's either ROM or XEO or XCZ

hi there
I have done this recently, perhaps with a slight fail on my sight, since i updated to the latest OXM pack, since i wanted to switch to DBT from DTM (german telekom) without reading this thread and your post first. So my phone didn't switch from DTM to DBT. until yesterday i had to wait for the updated security patch for OWO pack to switch. So all went fine and i switched from DTM OXM to OWO and back to OXM again.
But basically here starts my problem (if it is a problem, not sure yet):
My phone switched not to DBT, instead it went to EUX, which i guess is the generic code for complete EU countries? i am not sure, since i couldn't find the sales code or CSC for this anywhere tbh. i have two SIM prepaid SIM cards from a third party o2 contractor, so normally (i have done it on my Note 10 plus), like you mentioned, it should ask you to customize your phone and switch to DBT, but for me it simply doesn't ask or go to DBT at all. It simply keeps the EUX. Which i would not have a problem with, when i get regular updates with it like i would on DBT.
If anyone could give me a hint how to change to DBT or what i did wrong, i would appreciate the help. If EUX is fine for getting updates, i am also fine with that, if someone can confirm this. on OWO the software updater said please contact a samsung service center, since i have german SIMs in the phone, but with OXM package and CSC on EUX currently it just says "software is up to date" so it can connect to the update servers if that helps.
A short pm would be appreciated or maybe some help from an experienced user (more than me lol) via telegram as well.
Cheers
Mike

Oy, when I try to run frija, it tells me I need to have Visual c++ 2008 installed?!
EDIT: Finally found the download for it, but Frija doesn't seem to have firmware for the S21+

I was working with someone to find a way to remove Retail Mode from our S21 (SM-G991U1 XAA), and when using Odin to flash, we accidentally used the same firmware BL file for every section of the install. Now the phone is stuck in download mode, and we can't find a firmware download with replacement AP or CP files. Only a single BL .md5 file, or a set of files that don't seem to fix the problem. I found a link here on the forums to what appears to be exactly what we need, but it takes hours to download for some reason, and then fails partway through each time. Always at a different point in the download, too. Sometimes it gets to 2.5GB, other times 3.7GB, but never the whole file. That link is over in this thread:
G991U and G991U1 Firmware Links and Flashing Discussion Here
This was the link I followed:
U1 firmware
Any thoughts? Any help getting pointed in the right direction would be much appreciated. !

thank you so much , what CSC country has Call recording setting ?

[Guide][SM-T555] UNBRICK Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 [SM-T555] [SM-T550]

Hey,
I successfully unbricked my device.
If it fail you are flashing wrong FIRMWAR. HAPPENED TO ME FEW TIMES.

Follow this, it's very safe since you are flashing Stock Rom.
In order to get your CSC regional code you need to contact Samsung. This is really boring since you will have to deal with multiple agents from customer support.
I first contacted Samsung US via Live Chat under support... and they didn't provide any details about product Region at first. So I contacted them few times until they helped me.
YES SPAM THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN.
DONT EVEN SAY YOU ARE NOT FROM US AND DONT MENTION HARD BRICK OR ANYTHING.
So, according to them, my device is for Germanic region (I already knew this, I had some HSH Hotel bloatware).
I contacted German support via live chat and my device is from Austria.
VOILA.
Now that I know which region it is I need to check CSC Region Codes and I made a list.
I searched for them online until I matched codes on the left and Telecoms (carriers) on the right.
Austria (csc codes are on the left and Telecoms on the right):
CSC Regional Codes = Telecoms
AOM = AUSTRIA - unknown /generic probably
MOK = AUSTRIA - unknown /generic probably
TTR = Austria - magenta (former telering/t.mobile)
TRG = AUSTRIA - TELERING
MAX = AUSTRIA - t-mobile
DRE = AUSTRIA - Drei 3 (former Orange)
ONE = AUSTRIA - Orange
MOB = AUSTRIA - a1
ATO = AUSTRIA - Open Austria - directly from Samsung
So, I contacted Drei 3 and A1, I spam them a lot and eventually both agents answered my device is not on their list.
Since my device was SIM UNLOCKED I decided to flash ATO since it's Open and directly from Samsung AUSTRIA.
FIRMWARE
Caution, I didn't like 7.1.1 since I want Root.
So I flashed 5.1.1.
YES I HAD 7.1.1 BEFORE BRICK BUT I FLASHED BOTH 7.1.1 and then I flashed 5.0 for testing purpose. You can chose 1 of them and both are safe.

So now that I know which CSC Firmware I want to flash I have to download it. Yes, Firmware is same terminology for Stock ROM.
I downloaded mine from GALAXYFIRMWARE .COM
You could download older firmware if you want, I flashed both for TESTING
I had firmware 7.1.1 and that one I downloaded.
7.1.1 ATO
Then I downloaded 5.0.2 ATO
Choose which one you need.
Then Extract zip in 1 folder.
ODIN
Download unpatched
Patched Odin 3.13.1
For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...

I leaved CHECKED AutoReboot and F.Reset
FLASHING
FOR 7.1.1
Now, every file from extracted zip make sure it matches Odin box:
BL file is going into BL slot
AP file is going into AP slot
CP file is going into CP slot
CSC file is going into CSC slot
For 5.0
There will be only 1 extracted file.
It goes into AP slot
Now make sure your Tab is turned off.
If not, remove back cover and unplug battery and plug it back again.
Download mode:
Press Home + Power + Volume Down
(at the same time)
When prompted blue window, press Volume UP
Now connect it to Odin and wait 2minutes to connect.
Start flashing.
If it fail you are flashing wrong FIRMWAR. HAPPENED TO ME FEW TIMES.
PIT FILE
USE This if ABOVE FAILE.
I did not test this.
Okay for some reason you are really in bad position and you really want to flash PIT.
Well you can extract Pit from 7.1.1 CSC.
Copy CSC file to Desktop and rename it to .zip extension:
It will look something like this:
CSC_ATO_T555ATO1CRH1_CL14058996_QB19181858_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now extract it and look for Pit extension file.
Its something like:
GT510LTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
NOW make sure in ODIN Re-Partition is CHECKED.
Now that you have it and you are flashing with PIT.
IN ODIN THERE IS PIT OPTION CLICK ON IT.
IN PIT SLOT PUT PIT.
IN OTHER SLOTS PUT OTHER FILES FROM EXTRACTED ZIP.

Btw if you know how to root this device Android 5 or 6.
Let me know.
