Cannot update g850f (tun) 4.4 to 5.0.2 - Samsung Galaxy Alpha

Helo everybody,
Im stuck a bit with update. I have downloaded the 5.0.2 android for my phone from sammobile but unfortunately odin always fail with the firmwares.
The only thing what i can do is installing back my old firmware, Otherwise not even kies could recognise my phone.
Is there a reason why its now allowing me to update it?
My current android is G850FXXU2BNK3_G850FOJV2BNK5_TUN
And i have tried G850FXXU2COI3_G850FNEE2COI1_NEE (This is for nordic countried...5.0.2)
and also tried G850FXXU2COE4_G850FH3G2COE1_H3G(This is for GB and H3G service provider)
Unfortunately both failed at the end.
I have tried the usual troubleshooting which was described here, but i think i just cannot find the proper 5.0.2 android for my phone.
Is it important which country i choose?
I bought the phone on ebay a year ago, made in Vietname, and the csc is TUN.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thank you.

Same with French xef?
Any specufic branding?

Helo. Sorry im quite noobish with this particular topic. What does xef means? Do you mean have i tried with any French firmware?
No it is just a simple sm-g850f (Tun).
I have put back the tunesian (original) firmware and it works like a charm now again....but still no luck with 5.0.2

Hi,
All the fw's in the link are original ones.... u can either port the NZ one or Australian version or Indian version or the UK one.... There are versions like 10A, 10B, 10C .... Go for either 10A or 10B because the latter one's can't be rooted.
Also, avoid using swearing words in this community bro, the moderators mite even delete ur account.

Mithun.

Have benchmarked it.

Confused about this information! What build do I have?

Hello, I just got my phone and it's AWESOME. hehe. But I went into the menu and I can't seem to figure out what build this is:
It's KE1, right? I plugged it into Kies and it says that it's the most up to date version. How is that possible? Everyone here has KE2 and KE7. I don't want to root it or anything like that, though. I just got it an hour ago hehe.
Any ideas?
I'm on Vodafone Spain.

KE1 must be the latest version for your region. Your network probably hasn't release a update if your phone is branded.

It is branded. But that's strange that the phone was JUST released, I have the first batch of them, and it doesn't even have the latest version of the OS. Some people are claiming their phones are coming with KE7, I'm sure it's a regional thing. But that's a big jump from KE1 to KE7.
Could anyone from Vodafone UK tell me what your updated version of the OS is? In theory, it should be the same as yours!
Yes my phone came with KE7. It was the May 26th shipping UK batch.

Damn. Well I guess I have to wait.
Or do I? Is there a way to update within vodafone branded phone?
Or where can I download this exact firmware? I wouldn't mind flashing it with this version again!
Thanks in advance again.

Just debrand and u'll get all the latest updates
Yeah but I don't want to void my warranty. Its far too soon to void it. Haha. I know there is a way to make it look like it was never voided but still. I don't want to root just yet.
Thanks anyways.

[Q] Carrier Branded ROM?

Hello, I would like to know if there's someone that has the carrier branded ROM for Movistar (Peru). My galaxy's vibrator stopped working so I need to claim its warranty.
I know Infratech might get it, but since I have less than 10 posts I can't ask for it in the Original Development Forum where his "carrier branded roms" post is located...
But if anyone got it please let me know,
Thanks in advance.
Also, after rebranding the phone and using the jig to reset the custom firmware counter the phone should be ready to take if back the dealer right?

You should be able to use the one from Argentina (UHKG7) just fine. Looks like it's the same version as the latest one for Peru.
Carrier branded firmware here & country specific non-branded firmware here, or if you're after the latest firmware for your carrier/phone/country try Checkfus (search for it on here).
Thanks MistahBungle, but the one I'm looking for is not listed there, and I cannot request it there because I still have less than 10 posts, I'll try to get to it without making nonsense posts.

I think my phone actually came with KE5, and I think there was no Kies update ever for my Carrier-Country combination, so wouldn't that be a problem and let them know I have been flashing it?

In that case, use the one from Columbia, which is UHKE5. It's also the closest listed country for Movistar to Peru geographically anyways, so it's probably from the same batch.

Cool, I tried with checkfus and found there's a newer firmware,
This is how I got my phone:
Product Code: GT-I9100LKLSAM
Phone Version: I9100UHKE3
PDA Version: I9100UHKE5
CSC Version: I9100SAMKE2
and it says the latest firmware for SAM is:
PDA: I9100UHKG7
CSC: I9100SAMKG1
Phone: I9100UHKG4
I can't download CheckFus to download it because the sites tells me that no hotlinking is permitted and keeps sending me back to the homepage, so I'll search for CheckFus elsewere and try to get that firmware.
Ok, it is downloading right now, thanks for your help, after it finishes I'll flash it and use the jig to reset the counter, as far as I know it will be ready to take it back,
Any recomendations for making a backup of my phone as it is right now? Thanks again.

A Nandroid. But I think you'd need to root it again to do so.
Hello RaulGuichard,
Please could you post the site where you find the firmware. I'm looking for it but no lucky.

[Q] [Request] Does anyone has the original Iusacell stock rom?

Yeah dose where my first tries and sammobile was where I found the Telcel one, but the SG3 was just released on Iusacell last Saturday so i guess is still a little to early to be found on the regular sites, that's why I'm asking here.

Hi, i'm from mexico too, and hope can help me with some questions, my s3 is a telcel carrier, and i want to release the phone,..... if flash a stock international rom, the s3 is released? or need do some more to release the phone?
In advance thanks for help a noooooob friend.
P.D. sorry , i can't help you becouse my phone is telcel and not iusacell
telcel and iusacell are the same, you all need the APN's that's all that matters.
if you want you should use kie to get the original rom

I need the stock rom itself, I think I might have a hardware problem and if that's correct I will need to reflash the stock rom to send my phone back to warranty, for obvious reasons I can not send a Telcel flashed phone to Iusacell hehe

that would be definetely funny xD
did you try kies? also you can just flash a diff boot animation for the phone and send it back, trust me ppl at their tech support don't know anything about this
edit: I sent my old 03d to telcel with a euro firmware
Tried kies but I had no luck, I'm gonna wait a few more days to see if the problem persists and to see if the ROM is released, and as you said worst case scenario I'll be sending my phone with an unbranded stock ROM and hope for the best haha

You would need to root the phone and then use a mod or an app for unlocking your phone, you can do this without the need of flashing another ROM, I believe I saw an app for unlocking the S3 on the market just look for s3 simunlock. Just remember you need to root your phone first. Also there is a toolkit for flashing the s3 on the forums and the option to simunlock is there too.

[Q] Software update vs country of purchase

Hi everyone
I am confused with this problem that I have: I bought Samsung Galaxy S3 international version GT-i9300. Now, I live in Australia. My question is, when I go to my phone to check software update or Samsung Kies to check software update, which will be visible/show up/ be downloaded to my phone? The latest version for International SGS3 OR the latest version for Australian SGS3?
Confusing isn't it?
So long story short: when there is a new update, which one is it? Is the software/firmware update based on the country of purchase (In this case, international version) or where I am living (Australia)?

you hit "report" on your post and ask for it to be moved
Alright my apologies, I am the noob.
So, just making sure, because I still do not quite get it.
I will simplify this question even more. When there is asoftware update for my SGS3, which one will my phone download? The international software update(Because my phone is international) or will my phone download the australian software update(Because I live in australia)?
Still need help with this.

It will download the update that is in line with your firmware code. If you use an Australian firmware it will be the update for this Australian firmware once it is released.

Well, so it is based on my phone, NOT the country I am living in?
Mine is internatinal version GT-i9300, so when there is an update, my phone will download that one, and the Australian update is irrelevant for me?

It is not so much the intentional but the firmware Version, e.g. uk, Australian etc., you can find it under settings about phone. If your firmware is e.g. The uk version and stock you will get UK otas.
