Yes u can update but u will have Knox bootloader firmware
Guide ? just flash it, root, get CSC changer and change your CSC to your region
My advice:
If u don`t want to root in future or change firmwares or u want to get official updates
Download : I9190DXUAMF7 Malaysia
Flash it, root it, change csc to XME with Galaxy CSC changer
Flash AGAIN I9190DXUAMF7 to remove any traces of root and wipe data factory reset to get official status
Then update your phone with Kies to I9190DXUAMK2
U will have Knox bootloader active but your status will be 0x0 . If u root/install custom kernel etc u will trigger Knox warranty
If u want in future to update to other custom firmwares and u want to keep your warranty and don`t trigger Knox
Modify the stock rom before u flash it on phone
U MUST MAKE THIS STEP BEFORE U FLASH MK2

Can i change the region with no problems?
Dear SilviuMik,
Thanks for your promising answer to a similar question in the past threads. Please help me out. I am also in the dark as a new user. I really appreciate it.
I've got S4 mini (I9192) and the battery drain is too fast, even in standby at night when i dont use it at all it loses up to 17 percent till morning.
1. I would like to know if it is possible to change my region to one with a newer update (while actually i don't live there)? i hear the new updates have somewhat controlled the battery issues.
2. My region is Iran and would like to change it to Saudi Arabia or ... here are my phones details:
Ap: I9192xxUAMI1
CP: I9192xxUAMI1
CSC: I9192OJVAMI1
Kernal version: 3.4.0-947972
Build number: JDQ39.I9192xxUAMI1
I would like to change either to
Saudi Arabia:

is it possible? please help.
3. one last thing: if i change my region, will i still be able to connect to Samsung account? will there be any problems?
Sorry to ask so many questions. I will post this in thread i first found, too. In case there are some other people like me who can benefit from your expertise. Really Thank you.

Hello mate,
I9192XXUAMI1 does NOT contain Knox ( u are a lucky guy )
Newer firmware ALL contain Knox
Also, newer firmware does not fix battery drain , a custom Kernel / rom with custom kernel does fix it
Since u do not have knox bootloader active my advice is to try to flash my custom rom U will see that battery drain will be over

Can i change the region with no problems?
I'm one lucky guy. Thanks.
please post a link to your best Rom (probably best of all that there is). and let me know if i need to install sth like 4xt recovery.
by the way, i did not understand if it there will be any harm to my device if i flash the above Roms (i mean a different region)? and will they work more smoothly?
Thanks a millions
keep up the good work my friend :good:

If u install the other roms that u posted u will install roms with Knox bootloader active ( U will get 2 new lines in download mode with word knox in them ) that will prevent u from flashing kernels/root/flashing older roms without voiding warranty
In my signature is the rom i made, try version 2.1
U don`t need to install any recovery just flash this rom like any other with Odin

How to update SMT210/R to official KitKat and gain root!

As you may know, KitKat has been released by samsung to the Sm-T210 / R devices. This update includes a new bootloader. This bootloader is VERY important to have when using a 4.4.X based ROM. It fixes offline charging and fixes a GUI bug in custom recoveries. In this thread I will teach you how to flash this Firmware to your device, and gain root access! I take no responsibility for any damages that may occur during or after the installation. Just follow the steps carefully and you should be fine.
Pre-update instructions 1
take note of your devices model number, this can be found in settings>> About device>> Model Number.
(If you are running a custom ROM your model number may not be correct. If this is the case, look on the right edge of the device, if you see a black square your model number is SM-T210R, if you do not have the square you have the SM-T210.)
NOTE: Make sure you have your tabs USB drivers installed to your computer. Download here http://www.mediafire.com/?jotj0yjj4st761t
Pre-update instructions 2
download Odin version 3.0.9 to your computer. Here is a link to Odin3.0.9 http://www.devfiles.co/download/CAHmXM6c/Odin_v3.09.zip
Pre-update instructions 3
Make a free account at http://www.sammobile.com/forum/register.php THIS STEP IS REQUIRED if you have the SM-T210R! Without an account you cant download the firmware file. Skip this step. No longer required as i changed the link.
Step 1
Download the firmware file for your specific model number.
SM-T210 firmware http://rapidgator.net/file/8c97131ca007ebcc7b57960b3c45b316
SM-T210R firmware http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.../Firmware/T210RUEU0CNI1_T210RXAC0CNI1_XAC.zip
Step 2
now that you have downloaded your devices firmware and Odin, go ahead and launch odin. Now we will put your tab into update mode. You can do this by turning off your tab, then hold Power+VOL down+home when you see the words Samsung galaxy tab 3 release power BUT STILL HOLD VOLUME DOWN AND HOME! You will see a screen that says something like "Warning! Installing a custom OS may blah blah blah" just go ahead and click the volume up button.
Step 3
Now plug your device into your computer via usb cable and set your tab where it will not be disturbed. Now in odin click AP then find the update file you downloaded. This file will end in .tar.md5. Click the file and click open.
Step 4
Now that you have your device connected to your computer and the update file selected in odin, make sure re-partition is not checked and go ahead and click start. Please be patient, as this update may take a little wile to install. Once its done, it should say "PASS!"
Your device is now running android 4.4.2. If you would like to gain Root access,or install custom roms, continue to step 5!
Step 5
If you are reading this that means you want to use custom ROMs, or gain root access.. Now download this file to your computer. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23681161096069127
Step 6
Click AP in Odin and find the file you just downloaded, click open make sure re-partition is NOT checked and click start.
Step 7
After you see Pass! Unplug your tab and boot into recovery with the three button combo. From there you can flash custom roms!
NOTE: if you would like to Root your tab, complete all steps above and continue reading!!
Step 8
Download this file and put it on your SD card, http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip?retrieve_file=1
Step 9
Boot into recovery and click install zip>> click first option>> then find the file you downloaded. Once the file is found, click on it, press install.
Step 10
Wait untill it finishes and reboot your tablet. You now have SuperSu and root access!

I recommend installing NoleKat. It is a kitkat 4.4.2 rom that is fast, debloated, and feature packed!

[Q] About upgrading 4.1.2 Note

Hi all
i am a beginner here and i am trying to catch up
to the point
i bought a new note 8.0 lte version from Sweden , it came with 4.1.2 out of the box
after setting it up i searched for updates but they tablet keep telling me no updates i know there is 4.2.2 and even 4.4.2
my tablet info after dialing *#1234# is
PDA: N5120XXBME1
CSC: N5120OXXBME2
MODEM: N5120XXBMD9 and i found this version is for nordic countries with code Nee
after searching sammobile i found this version
PDA: N5120XXDNE4
CSC: N5120OXXDNE1
MODEM: N5120XXDNE4
also with product code NEE
so my questions
1- is it ok to flash this room on mine ?
2- i read that i can even flash any - note 8 .0 LTE kitkat room - if i keep my moden info from the original room
is that true ??
3-i read also due to bootloader version if i updated to 4.4 i cannt revert back to my 4.1 is that true?
even if i had the original room of 4.1.2 * i downloaded it from sammobile
thanks

Does it tell you that the tablet has been changed or that there are no updates? If it is the first one, its probably because its rooted. If it is the later one i dont really know what could cause it, might be a branded tablet or something. Never been without Root so i have never done OTA updates on the Note8
1. It should be completely OK to flash that ROM
2. I have flashed several ROMs and kept the modem files and it works fine, tho with the ROM you are about to use you can flash it all without any problem as it is made for nordic countries
3. I have read the same, I have not tried to go back from 4.4 so i can not say if it is possible or not. But i am sure there are loads of threads about reverting and the KitKat bootloader.
4. Welcome to a really sweet tablet, tho there are not many custom ROMS developed for it, but those that are, are working really well
Thanks my savor for the answer
about my no update thing , if i checked for updates i got
"The latest updates have already been installed "
it was a crazy offer from Elgiganten nearly 50% off price i got it for 1990 sek although due to web error on elgiganten site i managed to buy it Electroword
so this not branded ?
and about bootloader thing , as i read we cannt replace it back , we can flashi4.1 or 4.2 with odin but still the bootloader will be 4.4 and many have issues with this combo
i read that 4.4 cause some problem for some users like spen 2mm off etc so i like to have to the option to completely downgrade or at least i will update to 4.2
what do you think
by the way did the Nordic version got 4.2 update ? i cannt find it on sammobile
and again thank you very much

I dont think we got 4.2 at all, i used Civatos ROM during 4.2 and now i use rooted stock and i have no problems at all actually. S Note might be a little bit more sluggish to write in than before but nothing major anyways.
I have also read about the 2mm off center Spen, i had that in 4.1, and then it was more or less than 2mm depending on where on the screen i pointed.
I it were up to me, i would upgrade, but if you want to be able to revert back to 4.1 that would be a problem. Maybe try a custom ROM first? But that would mean breaking warranty and if something happens you will have all the hassle of returning it to stock with no trace of custom ROMs I have done this three times so i know how frustrating it is,
The problem i had then with my Note8 was that the Spen would not register on a 2-3cm wide strio on the upper part of the screen. I think this was because i used a magnetic case (non OEM). and the two times following it was the service station that messed things up so that i had to revoke the purchase and get a new Note8 So i would suggest that if you want to protect your Note you should get a good backcover and then buy a tempered glass screenprotector from ebay. I work at a wire rod mill and i have the note with me everywhere and it doesnt have a scratch on it (plus it fits in the breastpocket of my flameproof jacket). I do not work directly in the production line but i am at the factory floor more than half my workday
A little sidetrack from the ROM-talk but i thought i should give my 2 cents on the Note, now i have to sleep... even tho we get a "free hour" I dont want to be a wreck in the morning
Thanks again and again
and i think i will try a custom first as you suggested , i read that i can have 4.4 room based on 4.1 bootloader
so i can check 4.4
and thanks about the case and protector advice , my main use for the tablet is in home so fro now i got a samsung book cover for it it is not the powerful protection but i liked that it is thin .
i was afraid of magnetic cases -non oem - as they have strong magnet so i bought the oem
have a nice dreams and for me it is custom room searching time

If you want official 4.4.2 install Samsung KIES (download), and plugin a cable between PC and tablet, then install the update through Samsung Kies,

S4 T-Mobile Root Help!

Hey there folks! I'm looking to root my S4 but I'm having trouble locating the files I need to download so I can be rooted & if I can still root my S4.
My S4 Info
Model #: SGH-M919
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband Version: M919UVUFNK2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-2437203 [email protected] #1 Mon Nov 17 19:20 KST 2014
Build Number: KTU84P.M919UVUFNK2
SE for Android Status: Enforcing SEPF_SGH-M919_4.4.4_0032 Wed Oct 15 17:16:50
Secure Boot Status: Samsung
Security Software Version:
MDF v1.0 Release 3
VPN v1.4 Release 2
So with all of this info, can someone please direct me (preferably via a link to the proper thread) to ALL the files I need in order to root. I've been browsing through some of the How-To threads already but nothing is really set-in-stone if the FNK2 4.4.4 Firmware is rootable? I've also been out of the Root Game for a long while (over a year) since I last rooted anything and I totally forgot how to root. So can someone remind me how to root? For my build# S4, do I use the drag-and-drop file loading OR Odin 3.6 program on a computer to do it?? Also, keep-in-mind.... I want to keep root as close as possible to stock 4.4.4.
Thank you for any detailed info.
I second this, I have the same build and all that but the only thing I can really find on it is to downgrade to 4.4.2 and do towel root. Not sure if this is the only way or not currently.
Google Chainfire's S4 root.

So this is the closest thing I found on the www.autoroot.chainfire.eu site:
samsung SGH-M919 jfltetmo jfltetmo MSM8960 msm8960 KTU84P.M919UVUFNH7 4.4.4 24 067 069 Download b354bc04aa16351305edfd33e85a58bf 212 032
Ummm.... I'm gonna say what I found above ^ is not the same as the Build# FNK2 that I have? Sooooo what happens now, because that still does not rectify the issue at-hand? Now correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't I brick my S4 if it tries to flash the FNH7 over my FNK2? Yeah, I don't want to do that because it would be a compatibility issue right? So like it was mentioned before, can rooting be accomplished for the FNK2 Build?
- Is it just not possible,
- is it not possible at this time because it has yet to be worked on,
OR
- do I just "test" this overwrite method of flashing FNH7 over my FNK2 and most likely end up screwing myself over with a bricked S4 because I'm going off someone's "it will/should work" (untested) hypothesis??
Note: Details about what someone did to get an FNK2 Build S4 rooted would be really nice.
Thank you.
It still works lol. Do it the same way as you would with nh7. You're not flashing firmware, just rooting. Use chainfires autoroot in odin then odin twrp or whichever recovery you prefer and you're in business. I'm running nk2 rooted right now.

Relax Spicy, Mr big is correct your not flashing firmware, it's just a temporary recovery that allows a root exploit to take place.
You then flash the corresponding recovery for your phone and now you enter the *bricking* zone, if you don't read that is.
I recommend CWM over twrp.

Flashed wrong package?

Hey people,
I have a question, I think I flashed the wrong root package because it shows at booting: i9195.
I have a i9190 because i9190 was showing when I used the phone for the first time, right?
Now I experienced some little problems like whatsapp opens screen with empty chats sometime, camera doesn't work sometime, and a few little things I don't remember but it seems not really stable.
About phone
Model name: GT-i9190
CM-version: 12-20150308-NIGHTLY-serrano3gxx (5.0.2)
Smalband: i9195XXUBNB3
Kernel: 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g92aec50 build02
Build: cm_serrano3gxx-userdebug 5.0.2 LRX22G f9700d25ee test-keys
Can someone tell what I did wrong exactly, and give a link to de correct root package for the i9190 if I need to reflash it? I Want to use the latest Android 5.1 and prefer the most stable one. Please be clear I don't want to brick it, lol.
Thanks in advance!
Download stock firmware for I9190 and flash it using odin. Wipe data and cache.
It is tedious to setup your phone again from the start but I suggest doing that.
"" Smalband: i9195XXUBNB3
Kernel: 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g92aec50 build02 ""
You have I9195 baseband on I9190 ?? Not sure what happened there.
Anyway do as I suggest. Hope it helps.
Ok, I will do that first, can someone give me the correct link of the root package for i9190 with CMW included so I can install CM12.1 directly after flashing? Because I get confused by all that topics about rooting.
I will let you know if it worked.

You must flash a custom recovery first and use that to root or flash other roms like cm12.

[GT-I9192] - S4 Mini Duo - Can We Root With Any Build?

[GT-I9192] - S4 Mini Duo - Can we root with any build ?
Hi all,
I'm trying to find a way to root my Galaxy S4 mini DUO. (in order to install an other room after that).
It seems that we need a specific build to root it ... And I can't find any root tutorial with my build ...
(my version 4.4.2 : KOT49H.I9192UBUCOC2)
In this case, can we re-install other "official" build in order to apply tutorials ? like downgrade the phone or whatever ?
I found a tutorial that explain at the end that we need to re-install an other build if our build doesn't match ... (without explain of course how to do it)
My question :
- Can we reinstall an other build on the i9192 easily (with kies or something other..)
- If yes where can we find a precise build for the i9192 needed for those tutorials ?
Something more : in download mode there is written : knox warranty void 0x1 (I don't know if I can downgrade with that warranty void)
Thank you if have solutions !
