If you have recently purchased the latest SAMSUNG Galaxy Pro handset then we will see on how you can update to the latest firmware of Android 2.2.2 version from the current version of either 2.2.1 or even 2.2 Froyo version. There are many add-ons which have been included in this update of Froyo 2.2.2 version which we will see in the due course of this article. Please note that any one from any part of the World can proceed and update their device of SAMSUNG Galaxy Pro handset but the only condition being that you should ensure that your phone is not a network locked handset which means that your handset should not be network locked which means that in other words it should be SIM FREE. The simplest way to find whether the device is network locked or not then you can just find by a simply trick that is if you see any operator’s name on the phone then it’s a Network locked phone and this update is not for you guys. The reason being this update will or will not work on this phone is because all the network locked phones are only updated with the Operator as it has some dedicated applications. This all new update of SAMSUNG Galaxy Pro is dubbed as Froyo JPKC4 which we will look on how you can update with the same.
So, let’s proceed and see on what are the things which you will have to look out for before updating your phone as well as while updating your phone. So it’s highly recommended to follow the instructions carefully before proceeding to the update as if you don’t follow the instructions which are mentioned below then there is a high probability that you may even brick your phone and your phone may turn into an expensive paperweight after which your device may or may not become repairable or irreparable.
There are several improvements which have been done. Please note that there are no changes if you compare with the version of. Please note that many users keep repeatedly address the issue of NO INTERNET CONNECTION working after the firmware update, for all those i would like to say that since the firmware upgrade process will be undergone all the APN Settings which are responsible for the Internet access will be wiped and you will have to reconfigure them all to get an Internet access and in the same way you will also have to configure all the MMS settings to be able to send the MMS from your phone after the firmware update.Also, updating this firmware in any manner will not void the warranty or spoil the phone as long as you are following every single instruction which is mentioned below. Please note that in any manner that is in part or in whole we can’t be held responsible for anything and this firmware is not recommended for all those whose phones are network locked.
Pre requisites for Firmware update:
Please note that before proceeding to the updation of the Galaxy Pro, ensure that your phone is having the model number as Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 and not any other similar looking phones as if you install with this firmware then some of the functionalities won’t run and could even lead to serious damage to your phone.
Ensure that all data which is present in your phone is backed up in your computer which can be done by using the Astro File Manager application. Also, you can manage all contacts by syncing all of them with the Gmail.
Next up ensure that you have removed the SIM card as well as the external SD cards if any in the phone,
After this, ensure that you keep some things like USB cable which you have got with your Galaxy S GT I9000 and also the Galaxy S device,
Most importantly you need to ensure that your phone has atleast75-80% of battery power left, this is just an advisory which if followed then you will not experience any difficulties as while updation of the device the battery consumption is at a maximum,
Ensure that your computer / laptop which runs on a XP, Vista or Windows 7 OS the firewall and other antivirus programs are disabled and also you should have admin privileges to download and install the software including the drivers and also along with this you will be requiring the USB port on your computer which supports USB 2.0.
(Optional) Many of the Galaxy Pro users have reported the problem that they are unable to get into the download mode which is the top most necessity for updating your device, so for all those we came up with a tutorial here, just follow the given instructions and you can easily fix the download mode and also the recovery mode bug. This procedure is only for those whose devices unable to get into the download mode and the recovery mode.
Please note that flashing with the firmwares doesn’t mean that you are ROOTING Galaxy Pro. If you have flashed with Voodoo Lag fixes then too you can easily flash your device with this firmware.
Ensure that you have closed the KIES completely and also disable any firewalls, antivirus if any. Be rest assured as all the files which are mentioned in this article are safe and virus free.
Procedure to install Froyo 2.2 in SAMSUNG Galaxy Pro :
First of all you will have to download the Froyo JPKC4 2.2 Zip file from here and need to unzip the same to get the files and also the flash tool Odin too will be contained in this. Please note that in the process of extraction, if you are prompted to enter any password then enter the password as “samfirmware.com” without the inverted comas. Preferably, extract to the desktop so that you can easily find the file for flashing it to your phone. Please note that you should not rename the file in any manner or else the files won’t be recognized by the flashing tool which is Odin in this case.
Now, after finishing the download you will have to now ensure that you are turning your phone off so that the download mode which is nothing but the safe mode is activated in your phone. After turning Off the phone, you will have to first push the “Q” button to enter in to the download mode which will look like as shown in the below screen shot. If you have successfully entered into the download mode then you will see a green screen which is shown below. Also, additionally note that if the device boots in the normal mode with the home screen then you will have to again switch off the device and retry the process and if despite retrying you are unable to get into download mode then you will have to fix the download mode error for your phone. You can see the download mode screen on how it looks like.
Now, after this you will have to connect the phone to the computer where you have downloaded and extracted the zip file from the above link. Please note that while connecting the USB cable you will have to make sure that the Odin software is open as mentioned and shown above, as soon as you connect the phone to the Odin, the ID COM block will turn yellow after which you will have to enter the files by clicking on the corresponding options as shown below,
BOOT – APBOOT_B7510JPKC4_CL968357_REV00_user_low_true.tar.md5,
Phone – MODEM_B7510JXKC2_REV00.tar.md5,
PDA – CODE_B7510JPKC4_CL968357_REV00_user_low_true.tar.md5,
CSC – CSC_B7510OJPKC2_CL951730_REV00_user_low_true.tar.md5,
As soon as you feed in the files, you will have to double check the same and then you will have to proceed and click on the “Start” option to start the firmware update process. After clicking on the start, you will see that the firmware will be installed in your phone within a time of not more than 5 minutes.
Now, you can see that the flashing process is being in process and you will have to make sure that you don’t interrupt the flashing process as this may be fatal for your phone. So, after few minutes of time you will see the Odin screen as shown below,
Now, that’s it as soon as you see that the above screen is shown in the Odin, you will have to wait for the home screen to see in the phone and there you go, you have now successfully installed the latest firmware of 2.3.3 Gingerbread for your Galaxy Gio Android phone. Now, after this you will have reset the phone just to ensure that all the cache data is erased which can be done by following the below step.
For checking on which firmware you are currently on, you will have to go to the Settings > About Phone> Firmware Version where you will find the version of Android OS where it will show 2.3.4. As you can see above that we have shown some of the images of latest Gingerbread update of 2.3.3. So, let us know if you face any sorts of issues as we will see to it that all issues are resolved. Alternatively, you can also dial *#1234# to check the version number.

Please help.
Hi guys,
I got my Note 4 SM-N910F and installed latest update ROM from sammobile.com, respectively I've upgraded it from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1.
After reboot, I got the following message when restarted:
"This device is locked because of an abnormal factory reset. Sign in to the Samsung account that you have already signed in to on this device to confirm that it belongs to you."
Shortly: Samsung Reactivation Lock Activated
I've tried my Samsung account, on the web it logs in successfully, on my phone it doesn't let me login.
What should I do?
(phone is never locked, bought from Cosmote Romania, now Telekom Romania)
Thanks.
Samsung Reactivation Lock Activated - [ SOLVED ]
Hi guys,
I've succesfully deactivated the Samsung Reactivation Lock on my Samsung Note 4 SM-N910F - Android Lollipop 5.1.1. !!!
I'll tell you in detail how I did it. After 5 hours of data mining and documenting myself, I've gathered all the necessary data to do it.
Statement: On Samsung Note 4 with Lollipop 5.1.1, the Samsung Reactivation Lock cannot be deactivated!
In order to do that you need to downgrade it to KitKat 4.4.4. (thanks to brayhanrd for coming up with this downgrade-first idea in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/reactivation-lock-root-custom-rom-t3097964#post60511431
It can be done following these simple steps:
1) Downgrade the Samsung Note 4 software version from Lollipop 5.1.1 to KitKat 4.4.4 - using the stock 4.4.4 version specifically designed for your phone which can be downloaded from www.sammobile.com.
(Obs: if it was purchased from Verizon then THAT's the version you need to get it. I'm telling you this to avoid a lot of downgrade failures because of mismatch files and Odin writing errors, believe me, I read a lot about it today! )
- Downgrading from Lollipop to KitKat instructions and all the necesarry files to do it (e.g. Odin) can be found here: http://www.androidexplained.com/galaxy-note-4-how-to-downgrade-to-android-4-4-4-kitkat/ (thanks to Doug for documenting this )
If downgrade was successful, it should look like this: http://screencast.com/t/S9ONzxqPvaG
2) A work around to be able to turn off (deactivate) the Samsung Reactivation Lock can be found on this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U23TdbqJehA
- Long story short, the video emphasize what you need to do to get into the phone's Samsung Account, trick the already locked account and re-register yourself with a new (yet existing) Samsung account, which later on, will be seen by Samsung as the phone's default account, thus allowing yourself to register with it. What this guy's doing, basically is using the Text to Speech Samsung update to get logged in to the Samsung Galaxy Apps with this new Samsung account he created (or already had). From there, he gets back to the first phone setup steps and use this Samsung account which will be recognized by Samsung Reactivation Lock as being the default account (because he already signed-in with it into the Samsung Galaxy Apps) and voila, passed the protection.
3) Turn off the Samsung Reactivation Lock: After you tricked the Samsung Lock screen and passed over it reaching the classic, well known home screen, go to -> Settings -> Security -> and find the "Reactivation Lock" option and UNCHECK it! It will ask again for your Samsung account password, insert it and - ONLY THEN - you will have turned off the Samsung Reactivation Lock.
4) Upgrade back to Lollipop 5.1.1: same instructions here, first, upgrade only with stock image made specifically for your Note 4 version, to ba taken from www.sammobile.com or any other respectable place.
If upgrade was successful, it should look like this: http://screencast.com/t/U0BgITnrMmzi
Voila! you have a fully functional Note 4 phone again!
I hope this post will help you spare those 5 hours I used for reseaching these things!

Not possible to downgrade 5.1.1 to 4.4.4
Funny you say you downgraded from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 because everywhere I've read the consensus is the new bootloader makes this impossible.
Re: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/help/downgrading-5-1-1-t3206848/post62923032
"If you upgraded your boot loader past OB7 (OE1, OF5 or OG5) You can no longer downgrade."
I tried your intructions anyway with the proper stock rom for my SM-N910P with 5.1.1 (OG5) and no dice. Odin failed right away.
Thanks anyway!

Let me help you further because IT IS POSSIBLE. I've done it! Are you sure you read my thread correctly where I've stated that:
...using the stock 4.4.4 version specifically designed for your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You need to download a stock version of 4.4.4. specifically made for your phone version, model and mobile operator.
maybe for the sm-n910f but not the sm-n910p
I greatly appreciated your response, I spent almost the entire day yesterday working on this with no success.
Just so you know, I did in fact download the stock rom made specifically for my sm-910p, here:
http://androidromupdate.com/sprint-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910p-stock-firmware/
I'm on N910PVPU4COG5 now which is Lolipop 5.1.1 now.
I tried downgrading to N910PVPU1ANK2 Kitkat 4.4.4 and no go.
That is definitely the stock firmware for my device.
I did a factory reset & wiped cache first, then tried flashing with odin and after a successful md5 check it failed.
Not sure but maybe because you had the international version the bootloader is different?
But again, I'm sure it didn't work at that seems to be the consensus everywhere else too. that once you go above OB7 there's no going back on the N910P.

I would suggest to not give up just yet.
Verify the following:
a) From the page you gave me http://androidromupdate.com/sprint-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910p-stock-firmware/ - I know it sais there It cannot be done, just ignore that - did you installed the Drivers on your computer before you plugged in your phone?
b) Did you tried both 4.4.4. versions available?
c) Did you tried multiple times to flash it? As it opten happens to crash 1,2,3 time until you get it done right. (in between the flashes, try reconnecting the phone to the computer and restarting it).
Try Try Try Again...
Thanks for your advice. I would like to downgrade and so haven't given up just yet; you gave me hope (even a shot in the dark)!

A: Yes, I have installed the drivers on my computer and successfully flashed with odin before and my com port is detected, everything is working on that end. However, I read today someone said they could only use odin 3.10 to flash without it failing so I will try that too.
b) Did you tried both 4.4.4. versions available?
A: No, I'm going to try the older version of KitKat 4.4.4 next, N910PVPU1ANIE
c) Did you tried multiple times to flash it? As it opten happens to crash 1,2,3 time until you get it done right. (in between the flashes, try reconnecting the phone to the computer and restarting it).
A: OK, I will try this and report back.

Samsung Reactivation Bypass Alternative
Hi all,
This is my first posting and reply to a thread. Hope all is doing well.
After many many many attempts to either bypass or deactivate Knox's reactivation lock.. I was finally successful. I"m sure you can imagine how i was jumping up and down..
Any who, here's how i did it:
What you need:
1- An OTG Cable
2- A USB flash drive
3- Samsung Google bypass
First thing I did was factory reset my Verizon Note 4 from the recovery mode.
If you have another android phone available, that would be useful. Take the OTG cable plus it into the extra android phone and plug in your USB flash drive. It will either pop up or ask you to reformat the drive. You want to make sure that the USB flash drive is compatible with android devices. If you don't have an extra phone, reformat your USB flash drive using CMD (format Fat32.)
After that's completed, plug your flash drive into your laptop/desktop and drag the file you downloaded (Samsung google bypass) to your flash drive.
IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM!
Power on your android phone, after it turns on, plug your OTG cable into your phone and attach your USB flash drive. Wait a few seconds so your phone can recognize the new hardware. A folder from the flash drive should pop. Now run the Samsung Google Bypass file. This will take you to the settings on the phone. Connect to your WiFi.
Click on the Security tab and check "Unknown Sources" and then click ok.
In the same tab> Click on where is says "Go to website". That will open a browser. If for any reason you don't have that option in that tab, in the settings options, click on "Accounts" and add your gmail account to the phone. Go back to the settings options and click on your Google account. We need to get this to the browser.
After clicking on your account, scroll down to where is says "Smart Lock for passwords", go ahead an open that up.
You will see "Google Account" - Click on it. That should take you to a browser.
(If for any reason with those option don't take you to a browser, search the settings section to find a way. THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY)
Now we are almost done!
Download Aptoide> It will ask you all the prompts to install> after its done, click on open.
Download Knox> it will ask you to upgrade> go ahead and upgrade it> after thats done, open up the knox app and create a new account. This will now save to your phone.
You can unplug the OTG cable and restart your phone. But before doing so, make sure that account is was successfully created.
You will go back to set up wizard. Go ahead and set up your phone. You should not have any problems now.
Hope this works for you as it did for me.
Thanks for reading

Forgot to mention, when you download the Samsung Google bypass, make sure its a APK and if its in a rar file, unzip it.

Tab 4 (SM-T530NU) 4.4.2 = used ODIN & Flashed Kernel 2 Root w/ Towelroot; Flash back?
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (SM-T530NU) Even though I'm running on 4.4.2., I wasn't able to ROOT using Towelroot.APK B/C the Kernel is A0A2. So, following the directions on a website (posted at the bottom of this post) I found my device's Model_ROOT.Kernel.Tar.md5 and it's Model_Kernel.Tar.md5 files the webpage stated I needed in order to ROOT my device via ODIN.
Using ODIN, I was successful in flashing the downloaded ROOT.Kernel.tar.md5 file. After completing the next step I was able to successfully gain ROOT privileges by opening TowelRoot.apk & clicking "Make it Rain"
I used a random Root Checker app I downloaded from the Google Play Store to verify whether or not Towelroot succeeded in ROOTING my device.
YEAH!! I HAVE SUPER USER PERMISSIONS!!
I was so excited to have ROOT access after several days of continuous research that I never proceeded to the final steps on the aforementioned website's tutorial. I didn't use Model.Kernel.tar.md5 to flash my device back. Know it's been 2-3 days since I ROOTED my Tab 4 & to the best of my knowledge, I haven't experienced too many relative issues other than both Lucky Patcher & Freedom apps have been unsuccessful when I attempt to get free In-App Purchases from other Apps & Games. Normally I would just uninstall both apps and shrug 'em off as being incompatible with my device but within the past 8-10 months, I've used both of these apps on 2 of my previously ROOTED devices & they both worked correctly from the start. Not to mention that one of those happened to be another Tab 4 which was the same Make & Model of the Tab 4 10.1 SM-T530NU I'm currently using & writing about - the only differences between the two is their SEstatus & their Kernels: Old Tab4 had Permissive SEstatus & the Kernel ended in AND1 while this new one is set to Enforcing SEstatus and it's Kernel ends in A0A2)
I have a few questions related to the information you just read in this Thread:
* Did I really f**k up when I 4got to Flash back after Rooting w/ Towelroot? (If so, what steps do I take)
* How do I get L.P. & Freedom.apk to work correctly? (Does having 'Enforcing' SE Linux Status an issue? Either way, I would like to know how I can switch my SEstatus to 'Permissive')
* How can I Factory Reset my Tab4 running on Kitkat 4.4.2 without losing ROOT access?)
SITE I USED AS A STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL TO HELP ME ROOT MY CURRENT TAB 4:

1) Yes. Flash the OA2 kernel the same way you did the root kernel
2) See my answer to your first question. SE Linux has nothing to do with this. If you want SE Status permissive, install a custom kernel or a custom rom
3) You can't
