[Q] Galaxy grand Flashing advice

Hi everyone, I have a Galaxy Grand that I flashed using the Russian version of the firmware, and now that the official Indian version has been released, I want to use that version. Importantly , I want to fix the contact bug, where if you search for a contact and when you tap on it, the next contact is selected.
So what is the procedure I need to follow to install the latest official Indian Firmware and links if any.
There has been too many firmware release which is causing confusion for me.
Other queries, mostly secondary:
1. Is there a linux version of Odin, or any other flashing device that can be used in Linux
2. Is there a working kernel that supports USB-OTG or USB-Host.
Thanks in advance

AFAIK, Odin does not work in Linux (Yeah I know its strange considering Android is based on Linux !). You could attempt it in VM probably. Heimdall runs in Linux but I dont know if it is compatible with Grand Duos.
There is no kernel which enables USB-OTG / USB Host mode in Grand. Might require hardware modifications.
I dont think I need to tell you about flashing. Pick any firmware of your choice and flash through Odin !

search sammobile site
As said ODIN works only in windows.
try with a VM if needed...
For the latest firmware for your country,search the sammobile.com site,they ll provide the latest firmware details and file to download.....

Well, If there's no kernel that can enable OTG, I don't think there is any incentive in updating the software.
I last update on 13th June 2013. Is it worth updating now? I mean has the firmware improved?

Thanks very much bro for your reply.
Just one more query.
Which Stock firmware to download for india? INS or INU?
both INS and INU are marked as : INDIA

It doesn't really matter anyway.
as long as you flash the right firmware for your N3N variant. as long as I know the only difference is the baseband..

Did you back up your stock rom before changing to a custom rom?
If yes then its just a easy task to get your original stock rom with your pervious settings and data.
Procedure :
I assume you are using a custom recovery (TWRP):
Check the attached detail
Note:
You cannot degrade your ROm from Kitkat to Jellybean
If your original was 4.3 Iam sorry Its now complicated.
.If you only need a fresh stock rom then download if from sams and use odin installation mode.

S4 mini does not have media tek chipset so that tool will not work. You need Odin or Kies (for Widows PC'S).
Edit: you can get a stock ROM from

Have you read this FAQ?

You need odin and corresponing rom. I found newest through search with google. I have an european model and could upload it for you to my gdrive account. Its Android 4.4.4 from Debitel (Unbranded). Alernativly you could install lineage os 14.1 from arco68. Its newest android 7.1.2 updated weekly. Works very well.

I have seen you are from croatia, so ideally you find a rom thats for croatia. On sammobile you find just 4.4.2. I have a french (reimport) GT-I9195 and after flashing of german (because of releasing roms much earlier in germany) I was able to change but not anymore back to french. Don't know why, but I can live with them. After flashing I have to go to samsung recovery and Iam not sure what I have exactly done. I have since 8 months lineage os. I think it was enough to go to recovery mode and in log you see thats the recovery mode changes some parameters and the phone works again. Before wlan does not worked for me. Alternativly you could try -> Delete cache -> Factory Reset. But Iam sure this was not necessary.

Downgrade to Android 12, One UI 4 - because of broken ANT+ Support?

Is there a possibility to downgrade to the last Stock ROM?
How to do this?
It's because of the broken ANT+ Support. Custom ROM with ANT+ would be great too, but I can't find one with working ANT+. Any recommendations?

You can flash Android 12 Firmware using odin.
Just download firmware files from Frija by typing your phones model number.
As for the CSC, the only one I know of with Android 12 as of now is KSA.
Once you get all the firmware files, place them in odin and flash while your phone is in download mode.

Thanks for your swift and helpful reply!
Is the wrong CSC a problem? I would need DBT for Germany unbranded.
Dispite of this, I can't find a Android 12 Firmware for my SM-G980F with Frija - not even with KSA.

Wrong CSC shouldn't be a problem as long as you have a sim card installed, but then again, it doesn't matter anyways since you want to stay on Android 12.
The S20 got updated into Android 13 in most countries.
Second way to do this is via those websites either Sammobile or samfrew where you just input your Phones model, CSC, and select what Android version you want.
