Stock ROM upgrade - Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers

Hi,
I managed to find a MM build for the J3, although, its the J320R4, and I have the J320FN, is it still flashable through odin?
Thanks

No the chipset of both phones are different. That means don't do this or you will brick your phone.

No you cannot. Firmware has to be flashed on the model number it is intended for. May I ask why you wanted to do so?

No developments for the T237P.
I have the T230NU but returning it since the T237P has OTG support (and there is an OTA 5.1.1). The 7" Galaxy Tab 4 fits perfect in my vehicle without any mods to my dash. I will share the pictures.

Not disagreeing with you but there's even less development for the SM-T337A, not that you would be able to use its firmware on the SM-T237P. There is a deodexed, rooted, knox-free stock 5.1.1 rom available for the SM-T237P: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/sm-t237p-stock-rooted-deodexed-4-4-2-t3095711
At least theoretically if you have deodexed you can install xposed and use any number of xposed mods

Thanks, but that is not an actual deodexed firmware, it's missing the entire system folder so no system apps, priv-apps, framework. Also, what do you think of this, does it mean that the we can flash a T335 ROM on the T237P? http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/general/root-sm-t237p-t2849224/page2
I want to first receive the T237P, see what firmware is on it, if 4.4.2 and a 5.1.1 is available OTA then I can try to copy the firmware from the logcat and see if I can do anything to it like a full deodex.
Thanks again.

No. I guarantee you cannot flash a t335 rom on a t237p. No 8.0 inch rom will work on a 7.0 inch model. Cfautoroot just messes around in the recovery partition, that's much different than an entire rom

Sorry to bring up an old thread but i have a similar question and didn't want to start new thread. I am using my tablet for wifi only, would it be possible to use a rom from wifi only models? I have T237P also. I have flashed Philz, root, and xposed is working but i would like to upgrade to nougat at least. If not I will probably sell this thing and go get the Tab A (although I didn't see a 7inch model with more than 8gb storage)

I have a rooted N910C on 5.1.1 - is there any way to update to 6.0 without unrooting?

Hello everyone,
I have a rooted N910C on 5.1.1 - is there any way to update to stock 6.0 without unrooting or installing the 5.0.1 stock rom?
Thank you in advance!
you can flash the MM via odin and then root again. otherwise wait for the custom roms to be available

Via TWRP recovery! I need a flashable zip as I was not successful in extracting it from the stock ROM I have.

I think it would be simpler and faster to just flash the stock ROM, since nobody seems to be able to offer you any further advice on this.

Is it possible to flash the firmware of an S5 from a different region?

I recently purchased a Galaxy S5 model (SM-G900L) and want to flash it with the (SM-G900I) firmware. Is this possible using only Odin? No root etc?
Thanks
NO. It is not possible.

Will it just not accept the firmware or will it cause problems?
It will not accept the firmware. And if it accepts it, then all sort of problems will come. Not now, but at a later date.
It is possible. Install TWRP. Make a zip from the original rom and install it as a zip by TWRP.
Tool to create zip is:
Assayed Kitchen
Im Using the G900F Rom for an G900T3 Phone.
But you can't flash another modem, firmware or modem from another phone.

I am not so much worried about the modem it's just that the L I bought has tonnes of Korean text in places I can't change along with the apps that have no relevance to me. Flashing it with the Aussie I firmware would be really helpful just to remove that stuff.

I don't know what L means? Is it Quadcore Snapdragon?
You can't damage your phone by flashing the firmware via Zip in TWRP.
The worst case is to install the Original Firmware again.

Sorry I was abbreviating. L as in SM-G900L as opposed to SM-G900I.
You need an unlocked boot loader to use TWRP right?

Yes, you can do it by installing the correct version of TWRP by ODIN.
Maybe you'll have to acktivate the OEM Feature in the Developer Options first.
