Me too, i have received it and did not found any post on the Zentalk forums...

Installing now, let's see how it goes...

changelog same as the last update for 551ml
update file size 42.06 MB

I won't bother with this one - I gather I wouldn't need to unroot first because used root method 3, but I probably would still unfreeze apps and unroot just to be safe. Too much hassle for this OTA, which does nothing relevant to me as far as I can see.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW LUCKY I AM!!!
I am rooted with method 3 so I wasn't afraid of updating the OTA, I saw the update came, downloaded it and installed it quickly.
But then I remembered that I had some ASUS Apps and Bloatware frozen, I thought I would get a Bootloop and then I would have to downgrade and lose all my data, but once the update was installed, I couldn't boot normally even from the recovery mode, it forced me to install the OTA, after the bootanimation I saw Apps being updated x out of 128... Hope it works well even with frozen apps, am at App 93 out of 128 now, wish me luck.
Maybe there is a 50%-50% chance to get Bootloop with frozen Apps.

I received the update too. Can anyone notice any difference?

thats amazing news :good: there is this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61717428&postcount=380 and this guy is also reporting the same thing....no bootloops after update even without un-freezing the apps...If a new update arrives will try to update my phone without un-freezing the apps and will confirm whether it is really needed to un-freeze apps or not

So, battery drain fixed?
.22 was awful, before that I got through the day with 20-30% available at night, but .22 crushed my battery.

Is it available for 551 as well?

Trust me, don't do it..probably he is not getting bootloop because .23 is not upgrading apps but only something in the code, if arrives an update that updates the apps or parts of them, you will get bootloop.

On the 551 they released the .22 update that added this:
"1 Add kill switch (Anti-theft) function for US and Canada regulation.
2 Improve modem capability in India
3 Fixed the issue that cannot phone with Tailand True Provider SIM1."
As you can see, they didn't update translation (for example) or anything regarding the ZenUI (probably this .23 is the .22 we received on the 551).
In the past Asus released updates that included upgrades in apps like "power saver", or updated transations in other apps, if they are frozen, when the phones tries to create the new cache for the app, it will bootloop.. this update doesn't touch your apps.
You understood now?

Ohhh i didnt thought of that :good: thanks for the save... btw does the bootloop occur only on this device or it happens with all the android devices? For samsung and other devices if u freeze the apps and update via ota does it also gets into a bootloop or is it specific to this device?

I think it's the same, the system needs to create the new caches and finalize the update, I can't test it but I think it's the same, because it's android related and not Asus only.

Same for me on 2.13 on my 550. My battery life has been generally decent, but it's terrible today! Ignore the red mobile network bar (that is because I use a data-only sim), but what the hell is going on with all those wakes (the phone was in my desk with the screen sleeping and no apps running nearly all morning). And the weirdest thing is the bar of WiFi activity around lunchtime. My WiFi was turned off!! Sort it out ASUS ffs.

I got firmware update

Note: This takes your tab to build number P7510UEKF3. If you already have it pre-installed you won't need this update.
Some of you might have read the news that said the TouchWiz UX update for Galaxy Tab 10.1 is coming soon. Samsung says user have to add Samsung account on the tablet in order to receive the update. (you can read details on Samsung website)
So I added Samsung account. Then I go into settings -> about tablet -> system update -> update, and I got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
This is not the TouchWiz UX update obviously, but we won't miss any official update, will we?
Installing...
Done
Try it on you own tab
PS: I think you will still get this update without adding a Samsung account. Have anybody tried it?
i tried the steps but it says no update available. BTW how's your device life battery life?
No update available here either.

I think it would be 8 or 9 hours. It would be shorter if WiFi is on.
Were you rooted before? And if so did the update remove root?

I bought my tab on 10th June, the 3rd day after Samsung released it, I think it was the earliest version. So, if you got yours later than me, maybe your version would be newer, and you won't get what i got.

Haven't yet. I won't consider it till I get the next TouchWiz UX update.
I had this Version preinstalled
I think this update has killed Market Enabler for me. My tablet is still rooted but Market Enabler doesn't load at start up anymore so I'm back to not being able to purchase paid apps . I'm thinking that maybe if my tablet was one of the ones that shipped with the bootloader unlocked MAYBE I wouldn't have this problem now
I already had the build that was pushed. I didn't realize it since there are actually 2 numbers before the last build number. The build number on my Tab is HMJ37.UEKF3.P7510UEKF3.
Maybe this is why I haven't had some of the problems and issues I've seen here like keyboard lag, etc.?

Check this:

Check you table build number first, you won't get any update if the build number is already P7510UEKF3.

tks! let me try!
Update: I tried but i cant signin (wrong password), i tried to use another email account to register but i got "process failed", then after that when i try register again, i got "account already exist"!
Not sure if anyone can help me with this...
however, my device is running the latest version for firmware already. but will need sign in samsung acc eventually for the big update in future... i have already emailed samsung and m waiting for them to reply. =(
I am already running the newer version number, but when I attempted to create an account, I got a "Processing error." When I attempted to re-create the account I got another error saying it already existed. Then I tried in to sign in the the user/pass, and it said "Processing error."
Gotta say, I love the Samsung hardware, but their UI must be developed by monkeys.
Also noted that you can't use your Samsung account you may have used to register your device (and set up your warranty), and you can't use any email with "Samsung" in the address.
So they took the time to check for "samsung" in the email, but not the time to make sure it works.
Good job, Samsung, good job.
Yeah I created an account (sign up) after I figured out that you cant use your samsung.com account (which is insanely stupid) and now everytime I boot the tablet I get two force closes courtesy of Samsung Account.
So, advice from my mistakes:
-Dont try to use your samsung.com account.
-Dont sign up with the exact same account information as your samsung.com account
I checked aLogCat for errors and it shows authetication errors. The biggest problem is now I cant determine how to change the password through settings and Accounts....and I refuse to factory reset the tablet because there should be a file or SQLite Db I can update.....where that is i have yet to find.
So said:
What I did was I made a new gmail account, which Google notices that it is linked to my default google account. I then used new gmail to sign up for Samsung account on SGT 10.1

Mine came with that firmware already as well.
Mine came with that firmware also (Bought on Amazon 6/30). I registered my 10.1 on Samsung's site using the same Gmail address as my Android account. The only issue I had was Firefox 3.6.18 (done on desktop pc) wouldn't render the whole product info page so I couldn't enter all the info. I had to switch to Google Chrome browser.

Security warning for all Note 10.1 devices

As many of you know, all devices that have a Exynos processor have a security hole, called EXYNOS EXPLOIT.
Basically, this security hole allowes apps to have complete access to everything on your device.
For more information on this security hole, click:
http://www.google.com/search?q=samsung+exynos+exploit
Samsung has released new firmware for exynos devices, these firmwares close this security hole.
For your own security, every Note 10.1 should change to the latest 2013 firmware.
2013 firmware has a code that ends with M** for example:
N8010XXUCMA5 (4.1.2)
N8000XXCMA1 (4.1.2)
N8013UEUCMA3 (4.1.2)
You can get the newest firmware on samsung-updates.com and samfirmware.com.
Firmware on these sites is official Samsung firmware from Samsung Kies.
About country versions and OTA updates:
Experience shows that the waiting time for your country firmware version or an OTA update for your country depends on the priority your country has for samsung (waiting time of 1 day, many months or possibly never get an update for your country).
Samsung firmware for the Note 10.1 includes all languages and is almost identical in all country versions (with exception of the China version).
Also the Taiwan version offers all languages at setup. You just have to select Samsung Keyboard in your language version in settings and the firmware will be like your own country version.
You should backup all your data/apps/settings with something like Titanium backup, install the new firmware and then do a factory reset.
You can also not do the factory reset, but you may have compatibility problems.
To install firmware on your Note 10.1 you need Odin.
You can download it here:

No. It is not related to the android version. the patch is in the boot image. Also the 4.1.1. ending with M** is fixed.

What you posted does not contradict me. you refered to 3 roms and say they are 4.1.2. They are not all 3 4.1.2. The fix is in the boot image, not in android. If you take your 4.1.2 and change only the boot image, you are again with security hole.

I'm saying, I've been to both Samsung-update.com and Samfirmware.com, neither of which have the updates you have posted in the op. The hotfile links you posted take you to a d/l site that has the N8013EUCMA3 firmware that is the same as the 4.1.2 build number you can see in my screenshot.

Yup, just like my screenprint
will there be an official update?
Legion, can you update the first post with some more specific advice. Is this THE ota exynos update? Are Sammy going to release this OTA or is this it? Is this image for ALL devices irrespective of country. How it affects region specific devices. Also, flashing details etc.
I was under the impression that Bri was for Taiwan specific devices only! But I read somewhere that this update can be flashed regardless of region.
I think a little more advice on the first post would help users here.
I'm downloading now and will update as soon as, but a lot of users won't download based on the first post being unclear.
Riki
As per I know all patches will be release via OTA, the US 4.1.2 rom is already patch the German 4.1.2 rom has received the patch via OTA. Others I am not aware of but yes it will come out in form of an OTA. The OTA should be around 10 - 20 MB
So this download is NOT needed then? Is there any point downloading the ROM Legion has linked to?
The roms he has linked are stock firmwares for regions like Germany, US which have already received the patch. If you are on stock rom for your country then wait you will receive the OTA soon, if you are on a stock rom from another region then you will not so it makes sense to flash the German rom.
Also a question to all those how many device have been harmed because of exploit till date I have not seen even a single member posting about it so I do not think it is as serious as we make out to be
Well, downloaded and installed on ma tab UK 8010. Been messing around with it for the last half hour, checking everything works as it should.
Device OFFICIAL status.
Allshare Cast works fine.
No issues with language.
Seems slightly smoother and faster.
All tested apps work as they did prior.
Still 4.1.1 as expected. Exynos exploit fixed.
So, I would say given my previous thread, IF you have issues with Kies or OTA I would download and install.

Absolutely agree with Samir. Why would you downgrade to 4.1.1 just to fix a feature which seems never to have caused a problem!
Other than allowing the Note10.1 to be much easier to root for the hundreds (probably thousands) of users who have used the simple rooting method using the Exynos Exploit?

Compared to what - original 4.1.2?
I think I would rather wait for the "official" OTA update than download from a unknown source, thanks all the same.
Dont worry his source are geniune as they are the samfirmware stock rom links so do not worry about the source

I agree, but I was on 4.1.1 anyway. So closing a potential issue is a no brainer for me. It may well be the best/easiest way to root the tab but having such a potentially dangerous exploit there is not worth the risk.
Just because no one has been affected (or reported having been affected, or even knows they are affected) doesn't justify keeping it open. Especially IF you use the tab for banking, or other financial or work purposes!
My thoughts anyway.
Well its not that someone can use the exploit by magic they need a disguise to do that in form of an app or something else so if you are using it for banking then you would anyways be extra sure of the source of apps you install or website you browse.
Also once you patch it does not mean that your device cannot be hacked there are many other ways to it may be the above one was the easiest.
Again I am in no advocating not to patch the exploit but just putting some facts. Infact there was an article which said there were may fishing apps on google play itself
Way I see it is simple. The tab has a major exploit, the option to fix that exploit is now available. Folks can argue semantics/doomsday scenarios all day long, but it don't change the facts!

I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0_4.4 with ODIN and had no issues getting it to stick. When the device reboots after the ODIN flash, make sure you are immediately holding the home button and volume up button. As long as you can get it to boot into TWRP immediately after the flash, it will stick.
However, flashing SuperSU resulted in a bootloop immediately after. Guess we need a new root for this firmware. If you care, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/help/twrp-4-4-build-5-1-1-rom-t3216561 is a thread I started for this. Post there and subscribe, maybe some experts will come along to help us...
Any feedback on whether it includes the new snote and new spen features like smart clip from Note 4 or Note 5
In p605 now is possibile write a note in lockscreen

The pen window has these commands now:
Air Command (no change)
Smart Select (where old Scrap Booker was)
Image Clip (where old Screen Write was)
Screen Write (where old S-Finder was)
Pen Window (no change)
So I think the answer is "Yes" depending on what you mean by "Smart Clip"
Root!

I tried the instructions on Post 144 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lollipop-5-1-1-galaxy-note-10-t3215876/page15
It works without doing Step 1 (i.e. on the Stock Tmobile ROM)! All credit goes to @bluecat for doing the work and @M3r71n0 for the English translation!

Were you able to install the SuperSU beta via TWRP? I just get that the file is corrupt and can't go any further. I was able to flash the new ROM and TWRP using the first few steps.
Yes. I am not sure if a final version has been released.
Has anyone here observed that ever since updating to lollipop that it won't store Wi-Fi credentials through reboots? It seems every time I reboot my tablet I have to reconnect to my Wi-Fi...
Edit... it seems that it's not just reboots that causes the WiFi to forget the saved networks. Turning WiFi off and then back on again will also cause it to forget all saved networks. Not sure what to do to fix this this time...
Just tried a factory reset to see if maybe I just had a dirty flash or something... Didn't help. Is anyone else having this problem?
Should have asked first, are you on stock, or did you try to root using the P605 guide? If you are rooted, then open up /system/build.prop and change ro.securestore.support from true to false to fix the wifi issue... If you are on stock, read on for some suggestions...
I do not have this problem. Based on other people discussing something similar on OTHER devices, few things you may want to try are below ... Please note that I am NOT an expert and there is a good chance I am citing discussions that have NOTHING to do with your problem. 1 and 2 should be safe and not do any damage to your device, but 3 might be risky. So, please try solutions at your own risk ...
1) Forget/Delete the connection once and connect to it again from scratch by entering the password. Right now you reenter the password when the device forgets it, but some people seemed to be discussing how deleting a working connection and reentering password manually seems to fix it. No idea why this would work!
2) Since you already did a factory reboot, one suggestion I saw elsewhere was to flash the new ROM with ODIN, then reflash it again right away. Again, absolutely no idea if or why this might ever work!
3) Are you sure you updated to the RIGHT LL ROM for your device? The most frequent reason I see for this is if you flashed the wrong device/region ... For example, if you are on the P607T (T-Mobile) and flashed the Nordic (NEE) ROM that is listed in the root guides on this site, that might mess up your wi-fi. Some discussion I saw on this suggested flashing the correct MODEM file manually.
If you ever figure it out, please come back and share your solution!

I actually have the SM-P607T and I downloaded the stock ROM from Youmobile and flashed with Odin because Kies and Smart Switch kept locking up on me. I started fresh and only restored apps after flashing an unsecured boot and rerooting.
This suggestion worked perfectly. Stored WiFi passwords now survive reboots and turning WiFi on and off.
I would have quite literally found that. Thank you SO much! That little problem was wildly inconvenient but it's fixed now.
Thanks again.

No problem! This is apparently quite a common issue and you would have bumped into a discussion sooner or later... I noticed that even the thread with the unsecured boot image has now been updated with this information
Thanks for that link btw ... Does everything else work alright with that kernel on the P607T? The P605 is AT&T, if I am not mistaken and I am unsure what changes exist between that and the T-Mo version. Its strange that Samsung has released so much on its opensource portal for the 605, but literally just one source for the 607T. Perhaps because the base code is the same? No idea, but if you are happy with your performance out of this kernel, let us know...

I'm actually quite pleased with performance and usability of my P607T with the stock 5.1.1 ROM installed. Everything works as expected except for that wifi issue and that's now fixed thanks to your info a few posts up.
I can't speak to whether or not the base code is the same or not I would imagine that the code is likely very similar if not the same because I had "[ROM][P605][5.0.2] Besonderes; a Touchwiz Lollipop ROM for Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE" which is made for the P605 installed on my P607T and everything worked except wifi direct which is actually very important to me because my work program requires it.
Now I can't keep my tablet rooted because the program I use for work won't load with the tablet rooted. This has been the case since 4.4.4 too so no big deal..
What I have to do is go into supersu and turn root on and off as needed. A bit inconvenient but it works...

Good to know everything works well ...
Blue Cat has been sharing his source files and config and suggested some ways to compare P605 with P607T to figure out if they are the same or how similar they are. Its been a while since I tinkered with linux, but as and when I learn something, will update.

I followed the instructions from this linked thread, substitute p607t firmware for the p605 in step 1.
Key is to not let it auto reboot after Odin flashes twrp, if you miss that step then you have to reflash it as it will be overwritten.
Once you are in twrp then you flash supersu and boot up.

I was never able to get Knox disabled from supersu and was constantly getting the security check notification(I had frozen parts of it in the past and now it won't thaw no matter what I have tried, FULL wipe and reflash, check w tibu and still frozen... No idea). I used titanium backup to freeze "securitylogagent" and everything has been fine since, including WiFi credentials sticking

Future of Yotaphone 2

Hi guys,
This thread is for speculation and discussion mostly. I'm wondering what the likelihood of us getting any significant android updates in the future is? Yota seems to have gone pretty quiet as regards the 2. It's pretty likely their focussing their limited resources on the Yota 3. I would say it's pretty certain that that will come out running marshmallow so it should be feasible that mm comes to the Yota 2 as well.
I'm also wondering about the 3. If it comes out with better relative specs than last time then I'm going to consider it seriously; if it's to the yota 2 what the yota 2 was to the 1 then it should be a pretty good phone.
Lastly is there any chance of some custom ROM development for this phone? Tempted to look into it myself but won't be able to for a while due to life schedule and whatnot. Could CM be ported? What features do we think we could add? Is it just too much work due to the second screen or is a custom version of the stock ROM possible?
Hope there's still some decent attention going to this. Shame about the US launch being cancelled, we could have done with the recruits .
After the US failure, I thought they would abandon YP2 pretty soon too, but they're are least still developing 5.0 further, so I think there will a nice 5.0 update soon. They have a version lined up with some candy in it: double tap to wake, new widgets, and some other stuff I can't remember. Battery life seems OK-ish too. They pathed stagefright and stagefright 2.0 bugs as well, and include a google android (security) patch level reference in the about screen.
I don't know about 5.1 or 6.0, but I think their US marketing manager has said in the past they've been testing 5.1 at least.
About custom firmware: I have made some small steps in the past (initially targetting AOSP 5.0) but I nor others have invested enough time in it to grow it into a complete firmware. Once AOSP would build nicely, CM is not that far away.
Full EPD functionality is something else though. It's been discussed before: The low-level EPD driver stuff (to draw stuff on the backscreen) is included in the kernel sources that Yota released last may, and so it would be available in a custom firmware as well. However it would not be usable by anything but custom built apps (not the current apps/widgets), that would access the EPD interface directly. The framework adaptions and SDK support that Yota did (screen mirroring, backscreen manager service to display widgets and covers etc) is not open source, so it cannot easily be ported. It might run as-is on a 5.0 custom ROM, but not likely on 5.1 or 6.0. So on top of creating a Custom ROM, there would need to be designing and coding effort to make the EPD actually usable. With the current level of interest from devs chances are pretty slim. Maybe a bounty system might work if there are enough people interested in contributing, but looking at the level activity in the Yotaphone subforum, I doubt that enough people are interested to make it worthwhile. (Or do we have a rich Russian Oil Company mogul in our midst ?
Anyway, I expect a Yota firmware update pretty soon with some nice improvements, still remaining at lollipop 5.0 though.
Edit: forgot to mention that I'm having trouble installing Xposed with newer versions, can't get it to work, hangs at boot animation. So if you're attached to Xposed, be careful when upgrading once the new firmware becomes available.
LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.66 update
I just got an OTA system update request on my phone for downloading version LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.66 today. I have not installed it yet, because my phone is rooted and I'm hoping someone else will take the plunge and report results before I try. (I'd hate to lose root entirely.)
I checked the official firmware repository (ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/) and this version hasn't appeared there yet. There seems to be a similar new one for the APC region though. (Incidentally, I'm in the US, but I bought the phone online and apparently it was HK region. Works fine for me, so I don't care.)
I took screenshots and stitched them together so I could share the complete update description. I apologize for the ridiculously large image, but I didn't want to have to type all this stuff up, and I wasn't aware of a way to copy and paste it as text.

I was considering downloading it, but I'm not sure if I can do that and not have it auto-update once the download is finished. If I could get the file, I'd be happy to post it somewhere online if it would be useful. I've got ES File Explorer and root, and I assume it will be stored in /cache, but I don't want to risk updating right now.

Nice that they included a releasenotes, I have the impression that not everything is in there (like selecting a background photo for yotahub panels). It's nice to see that they're still improving on YP2 firmware.
I tested a version close to this one (but for another region) and it had a bad bug in the touchscreen functionality: when holding the phone (and thereby touching the backscreen) the front screen would not register taps or gestures correctly anymore. Not saying that this version has that bug too, but it might be worth testing this. Yota's got versions beyond 1.66 already, which include double tap to wake (and double tap to open specific apps on the backscreen while locked)
With TWRP you can backup your phone (including system, boot and data) and try the new firmware out. You can easily restore the backup if not satisfied, you'll be on your previous version again, including root.
There's a good chance that your firmware update will fail if you're rooted (as the original files on /system are different than expected by the update). So you should probably unroot, then update, then root again by flashing supersu through (TWRP) recovery.
The firmware file you might be able to capture is probably of limited use as it will likely be an incremental update from your specific previous version to 1.66.
So, backup first then try it out!
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll try to set aside some time this weekend and do a backup/update. Once I do, I'll post my findings here. Hopefully this update doesn't have that touchscreen bug you mentioned. I haven't had any major problems with my phone on the current version, but I'm curious to try what the update has to offer.
I hadn't thought about TWRP for rolling back. I never flashed it directly to the device, but I assume I can still do it by booting up as described in the post on here. And even if rooting somehow changed or was locked down, I'm assuming I can still boot the TWRP image and re-flash my backup. My bootloader is unlocked, and I assume will stay that way.

Your bootloader status and TWRP recovery should be fine by this update, haven't seen attempts to mess with any of that with recent firmwares.
Which ROM is for where?
Can anyone tell me which ROM is for what area, and if possible what the differences are.
Read all the Yotaphone posts and have a pretty good idea but 1 stumps me.
CN China YD206 Best radio
APC Asia Pacific?
EU Europe YD201
HK Hong Kong 4.43 What I just bought.
Has an OTA app but no update yet.
Planning to root, TWRP then EU 5.00 with CN radio but I'd sure like to know what ME is for.
RU Russia
ME No idea since Mexico is the same as the US.
Middle East?

Need help updating baseband/modem on I9505

Hey guys,
I've had my S4 for a while now and I've been happily switching around between ROMs and getting the newest versions of Android ever since Jelly Bean. Now I've recently been noticing that my wifi and 3G is acting up. I constantly lose the connection (shows up as a small exclamation mark on the wifi/3G symbol) and while sometimes I can fix it simply by switching to airplane mode and back, it often requires a reboot to get things working again.
While I have been updating my ROMs quite frequently, I've never actually touched the modem firmware, which makes me think that it's probably the reason for these problems. Which leads me to the following questions I have:
1) Where can I find the right firmware version? All I know is that my phone is a I9505 from the German carrier 1&1 and that the baseband is XXUEMKF (I vaguely remember that it may have been a different baseband in the past, I may have fooled around with it back when I was completely new to custom ROMs).
2) Is there any way of updating the baseband without using Odin? My USB connection has a loose contact. Charging still works, but data transfer only works if the phone is ABSOLUTELY not moving. Even so much as breathing on the phone will cause it to lose connection. I do most of my data transfers over wifi with Airdroid, so this hasn't bothered me until now. Any way to get around using Odin?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm running Resurrection Remix 5.5.7 (Lollipop 5.1.1)
I'm in Sweden and wishing someone with experience made it easier to find most up to date firmware and maybe even a brief explaination on fixes. Also I'd like to know for all these roms if there is a possible ROM + FIRMWARE package possible so you always have the correct firmware for your rom, i.e running Lollipop 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 or 5.1 or 5.1.1 seems to be needing different f/w's (or am I completely wrong?)
I'm currently running [JDCTeam][STABLE][5.1.1][1 November] Optimized CyanogenMod 12.1 build with latest update and I'm getting the "known" black screen in calls which is so annoying.
But when I run Aurora S6 Port 5.2 [OTA Update 1.6 by JASONRR] I have NO ISSUES what so ever.
Please someone explain this!

You guys probably need to update bootloader and modem. You can manually flash them or flash a stock Lollipop rom.
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505
Try this version. I9505XXUHOJ2
It doesn't matter from which country. Flash it using Odin (you can only update modem and bootloader using Odin). Afterwards you can restore you rom.

Since I'm still less then 10 posts I can't post external links...I have that and "sammobile dot com", but what I didn't know was that you could flash from different countrys, this is new to me. So a new question arises and that is why in several posts here on XDA there are lists with multiple selections depending on location like this thread [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025 ].
Thanks

It's only used as a reference to know where a firmware was released. It doesn't matter if you pick a firmware released in for example Germany or one released in Sweden. Same firmware but different label. Just ignore it.
ps the black screen will be solved after you update modem+bootloader.

*Update*
Updated the Bootloader (BL_UHOJ2.tar) and Modem (CP_UHOJ2.tar) but blackscreen in calls persists
And since I know that it works 100% in Aurora ROM I'm guessing it's a software issue (I presumed it was fw but maybe not). Running "Proximity Fix" doesn't fix it either, sensor still shows 0cm! It isn't a bad sensor i.e no air blowing issue!
Please advice!!
Thank you

Sorry for the late reply, but I'm still a little intimidated by all this. Which firmware version should I flash? There's the HOJ2 version that seems to exist for many different countries and carriers and some are described as being for branded (simlocked?) phones. My phone is unlocked and I'm using the carrier 1&1 in Germany. Which version do I download? And why is it a 1.5GB file? I thought this was just the modem and bootloader? Or does it only come in combination with a full stock ROM?
Also, any tips on where to download, all the links I find are for filesharing sites that throttle non-premium downloads to ridiculously low speeds.
