What's the firmware thing all about? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

There is an "auto firmware update script" in the development section.
My question is: why do I need firmware updates? I have a redmi 3s (currently) and want to upgrade soon. Why do I need to flash the lastest xiaomi firware? I've never flashed/upgraded the firmware (except by flashing the stock rom), so what's this "you need the latest firmware" thing all about? What are the advantages/disadvantages?
I'm sorry if it has been already answered, but I really couldn't find a conclusive answer. Thanks for you help guys ^^

[Q] how to rollback to official firmware.

Hello,
I am currently using Darkeys Extreme edition v10.0 based on Android 2.3.
I want to rollback my phone to its latest official Android 2.3 firmware.
Please help.
Please give the detailed procedure how to install official Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) firmware in SGS for Indian users.
Thanks in advance.
I think you need to download the DDJV6 (2.3.3) firmware from samfirmware.com and flash it according to the instructions given on the site.
This should bring you back on official firmware and KIES should work normally.
You can use SpoofFw. Very easy to use. Just follow the steps in the application. Search for it in the market.
thanks for your help, the SpoofFw app requires ROOT and I am unable to find the authentic solution to root my SGS.
Updated version information of Samsung Galaxy S Gingerbread update in India:
PDA Version: JV6
Phone Version: JV4
CSC Version: JV6(INU)
Currently I am using the different CSC Version, everything works fine with it but I am desperately looking for CSC Version: JV6(INU) only.
DDJV6 (2.3.3) firmware from samfirmware.com doesn't helped me to get the JV6(INU)
Please help.
This has nothing to do with Development learn to post in the right sections before flashing custom rom and kernels tbh.
Please move this thread to Q&A

You say your on Darky rom, that's means you are already rooted.
Use spooffw as already told.
After help from vortexmak , I have downloaded DDJV6 (2.3.3) firmware from samfirmware.com. After installation DDJV6 (2.3.3) from ODIN my phone comes to normal and now I am running official firmware on my phone. And phone is un-rooted now!
For SGS Gingerbread rooting, I searched for the same but no luck!
However, the main problem is, the firmware I am currently using is different CSC version and I am looking for CSC Version: JV6 (INU) which is not available on samfirmware.com.
samfirmware has the JV6 csc version available. Did you download the same ??
Yes Kailashnj, I have downloaded the same version but I am not sure does Kies will detect it as Indian Version of SGS.
use some brain and post in the correct section , that s the best method !

If you cant help him out don't respond to it. If you use your brain at least point him to the right section.
@op
I have no idea. I am sorry i cant help you
The csc you have right now, is it multi csc?if it is, you can try a simple trick: type *#272*yourimei# and select INU(if it's there). I do this every time with ORO.i select it from multi csc.don't know the asian firmwares very much,but i gave you the general solution. It should work.
Sent from my GT-I9000 powered by Damian kernel on JVP rom
You Rock kimitza.
The trick Works!

Yeah...kill the man for not reading the forum. True...i hate lazy people who don't read some FAQ's and don't bother to write on right sections....but your reaction is just lame for trying to be a smartass.Maybe an answer would be apreciated more than starting a flame war, don't you think?
@Napster_doom, glad i could help you, but next time please read and post in the right section.If you have more questions about galaxy, just send me a PM and i will answer.Good luck.

Will it brick my device?

Hello, guys.
I've been asking in some threads, but I couldn't get a clear answer, so I'm hoping someone can answer me this.
I have a Chinese Moto Z Play (XT-1635-03 variant) and I've been running a custom 8.1 ROM for a while. However, I feel like going back to stock Oreo and sticking with it.
The question is: will I brink my device if I flash the Oreo image in this link?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-official-fastboot-stock-oreo-image-t3786537
I know it can be installed in any software channel, but I'm not really sure if it can be installed in another model.
I appreciate any help.

Galaxy Watch 3 Firmware

Hey, I am searching for the Galaxy Watch 3 Firmware. After some research I found out that "Easy Firmware" has the Firmware. But sadly it's paid....
(Can't post the link cause New Member) search for R850XXU1ATF6 on Google
Has anyone already the firmware?
Greetings,
Nils
Are you sure you "need" ATF6 instead ATF3?

I just need the firmware. I don't know about the differences between atf6/3 ?
Okidoki.
But you downloaded from Link I wrote the older Firmware?
Best Regards
Nope cause Easy-Firmware is paid. That's why I asked ye here in the forum's if you have an alternative to easy firmware
I mean I gave you LinkS to SM-R840 AND SM-R850 ATF3:

Sorry for the potentially dumb question but I don't want to download the wrong firmware. My current software version is R840XXU1BTG6. I am in the US and need to change my region to US for Samsung Pay instead of of whatever region I have. Which firmware do I need to download to change my region? Thank you.
