[Q] [i9001] Android update policy

This news is kinda old but i wanted to share it with you guys.
http://www.best7android.com/2011/05/new-android-update-policy-gives-users.html
Does this also apply for our i9001? If so, samsung needs to update our device.
(Sorry for my bad English)

Applies to galaxy s, galaxy s plus, galaxy w, galaxy advance, galaxy sl as well.

Yes and no.
Yes: we have already checked it on custom/unofficial builds.
No: Samsung already said it for i9000 at least.
Sure I'd like to have the newest Android onboard my Galaxy S but I doubt we can win with them...

As this is 9001-specific, here's your answer: Samsung has already released the successor of our beloved device, the Galaxy S Advance. So they think it's not necessary to update an outdated device. Go and buy a new one. That's what Samsung would like you to do.
And you could read this XDA portal article: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...ts-regarding-18-month-upgrade-push-by-google/

[Q] Official Kitkat 4.4

Hey guys,
Anyone knows when the official stock android 4.4 update for the i9305. A leaked samsung document said it would roll out in may, but it's july and i still don't have the update.
I know i could flash an custom rom but every 4.4 ROM i try has really annoying battery drain (i flashed CM11, omni, carbon, LS) so if anyone has an idea, please tell me! And if there's anyone with a battery-friendly 4.4 rom, please tell me!
Sorry for my bad english BTW.

Thanks man! but i don't see the S3 LTE in the list, does that mean that we won't get the update?

Well to start off with, Australia only got 4.3 on the I9305T in the last few months.. NC1 is still 4.3.
The reason it's not on the list is because that's a list of approved/completed updates.
The I9300 was probably cancelled as it doesn't support the Knox Bootloader.
The I9305 does support Knox, so it's fair to assume they will release 4.4.2+ for us at some point.
Until Samsung release some official information on it, enjoy 4.3!

KitKat update for S3 LTE is ready. It's only matter of preparing (add own bloatware) by carriers. Some of them already rolled it out. Search google for: "When will my device receive the latest KitKat" - should be first link on samsung site.

Yes it is, but in april there was a leaked document with information about the LTE version receiving kitkat in may/june, pretty weird.:crying:

Today even latest i9300i has recived KK according to sammobile site...:what:
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA

so update for our device should roll very very soon...i hope we get it by the end of this month at least...

The I9301 uses a Snapdragon processor... Maybe Samsung engineering team can t update the kernel of their processor (exynos). If Samsung doesn't update it is my last Samsung. Its a Shame... Bad advertising for Exynos products...

Thanks bro, i hope it's reliable and we'll get it

Once it gets released, we just have to wait for someone to un-knox it, so that 4.1.2 bootloader users will be able to use it...
By the way, what are the new features that it will have over the tw 4.3 jb???? (Apart from the ugly battery icon!!!)

Eagerly waiting for the update. I believe SG I9305 will get 4.4 soon. It's about time.

It's about the issue with RAM. KitKat was designed for 512MB RAM devices but unfortunately KitKat with TouchWiz needs 2GB and that's why only i9305 will have this update.

Theres no kit kat for us... I regret so much having bought this phone. Damn exynos chip!
Today i ve broken the screen glass...
I always tought that was a s4 or 5.. But i' ve learned the lesson, next phone: nexus 5, motorola x or one plus one.

Your download didn't complete and the package is corrupted. You'll have to download it again.

Hi blackyz, what method did you use to root version 38?
For anyone who have issues to update/download the version 38, do the following
Go here, download the rom (version 38): http://en.miui.com/download-218.html#360
Then follow this to update it: http://en.miui.com/thread-17988-1-1.html

Root method:http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=66833&extra=page=3&mobile=2

My Redmi Note got delivered by Flipkart Yesterday, its running v39 however first time I left phone connected, I suspect it downloaded v38 to a folder
called "Downloaded Rom" I think this folder came up after initial use
However phone is running v39 and I've rooted it already straight after the unboxing.

MIUI site having JHDMIBH 38.0 AS THE LATEST INDIA version available.
v39??? could not understand pl share full details and any new vissue dealt in v39
a sharma
sharing is power

Does anyone know why even the latest v38 update is build on top of android 4.2.2 when it's almost time for lollipop for most of the new devices.
I mean it should have been KitKat right out of the box. I had high hopes from the v38 update but it kinda disappointed me :/.
Btw is there any chance of KitKat officially in the near future?
Sent from my A18+ with Tapatalk ^-^

asharma7: sorry my Bad, I wrongly posted.
Running JHDMIBH38.0 as it was a OTA update.
Don't know why such a good hardware is so BADLY done on the OS side.
the included 4.2.2 is still buggy, MX Player and many apps crashes on various settings.
Xiaomi is too hesitant to publish the Kernel Sources and that's the prime reason why custom Roms are still not available for this beast.
They have announced earlier that kernel source would be available around new year, lets hope they do that so developers can PORT other available
ROMS and make this device more customization friendly, especially if CM12 gets ported, I'll stick to that without a second thought.

Where can I find oreo rom for exynos note 8?

As the title reads I'm looking to flash oreo for exynos
I can only find the oreo rom for snapdragon but not exynos someone help me please or link me.

It's not out yet. But will be released soon(this month(according to leakers)) so just wait .

So how come you can get the rom for snapdragon but not exynos.... I'm aware it's not officially out I'm talking about custom roms here
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note8 using XDA Labs

Here's the thing. The snapdragon Oreo is a very early leak. So far there have been no leaks of Oreo for the Exynos Note 8. Different hardware, different kernels keep us where we are... waiting. I am sure once there is a leak or release of official Oreo we will see new custom rom's

winol said:
You are asking for help, ok, you did not like one answer, ok again, but do not do exactly the same thing you complain about, for the other part, oreo rom was short lived beta first release to certain countries for snapdragons, not exynos, they stopped due to certain issues, and if you follow the progress of exynos note 8, you would know about it, If you are interested in flashing roms and mods, I sugest you to read first how roms and mods are installed, not here in specific forums, but in the general forums in XDA, after that, you can start reading about device-specific roms in exynos note 8 section, if you do not find roms there, then simply there aren't any yet, be more polite the next time you do not like an answer

He was rude, you were rude. I guess the Note 8 is bringing out the worst in us.
Hopefully soon this will be over. What pisses me off about the delay is that I had the choice of getting the Snapdragon Note 8, for a lot less than what I shelled out for the exynos note 8. But I can remember thinking there was more Support for exyno, and they received leaks/updates faster.. If only I could go back

Well, dont regret it, when oreo outs, it will be released for both versions, the exynos versions have always been more versatile, in my case I never would have chosen the snap, as I wanted the 128 GB storage model

Ok guys this thread has been cleaned Let keep the comments down like this and keep it on track:good::good::good:

The Snapdragon one is the Official OTA update that has been uploaded to carrier servers to push out. It's just a way of manually installing it before carriers push OTA.

You don't find Oreo..... Oreo finds you

[ALE-L21] Android 6.0 Official Update?

Good evening for you all.
I'm an absolute newcomer to Huawei, as I had Motorola devices since 2014 :silly: I hope to adapt fast to this new device
For now, I want to start slowly. I found the device I bought is currently on Android 5.0.1, and found there is a way to update it to Android 6.0 officially. However, the tutorials what I could find on internet went into a death path, as the websites or files doesn't exist.
I'm currently using an ALE-L21, Compilation ALE-L21C40B181. I found there are differences between compilations and things like that, so... can someone bring me a hand with this? :victory:
Thanks in advance
Note: I found the phone is already Rooted. Curious thing.
