[mustang7757]

I did that and it only shows the older software I already have on the phone

April 1 update ending in DUC8

T-mobile not out yet , that's the latest

If it's unlocked, do I have to have tmobile?

You have unlocked version or sim unlocked?

 

[joeyjay]

Not sure! I purchased unlocked US directly from Samsung. Put my tmobile Sim in. Should be able to work on other carriers.
Not unlocked carrier phone.
Thanks SO much for the help!

Ok good , you have unlocked version like me , use XAA as region and flash

Great!
So I search for the firmware using Frija and save all 5 gigs to the computer? Then open Odin and somehow import the files into the correct spots?

Sorry, sounds easy but don't know the steps

No problem, once you download to computer then use 7zip to extract the firmware, open odin and each corresponding slot in odin match the firmware except last spot in odin leave alone and CSC use home firmware in odin slot so it doesn't factory reset

 

[joeyjay]

Great! I'll need to download 7zip. Just Google it?
Will try tomorrow!
Appreciate all the help!

Ap firmware goes into Ap slot in odin

Make sure phone in download mode and connected to computer

 

[joeyjay]

AP won't load into AP spot. Error message.

Maybe I should connect phone first?
