I recently bought a Samsung A300FU with android 6.0.1 wanted to download nougat, but it seems I cannot because my OS has been obtained in a different way, my phone says.
Is there a way that I can get the original version and update like a normal phone? can't root the device and it has knox installed on it also. I'm afraid that I'll do something wrong and that I won't be able to use my phone anymore. Anyone that could help me by any chance?

Hi
I have a LG E973. I installed Cyanogen Mod on it. Right now, it is giving me some problems. I would like to know if it is possible at all to install the Software OS that came with the phone which LG had it pre-installed when I bought the phone.?
I didn't do a back up when I put Cyanogen Mod on it because I didn't think I would need it. Is it still possible to revert to the OS version manufacturer originally put on your phone?
Please advise.
Thanks
Like I said on your other thread just install the KDZ for your country via LG PC Tools...
There has been a firmware upgrade waiting to be installed since 12/12 on my international version 7100. Coincidentally, or not, that's when I entered the phone's country of origin again, so the upgrade may have been available for much longer.
Has anyone successfully installed it without breaking anything, and could tell me what version of Android it is? I am currently on 4.4.2, guess it's too much to hope for 5, so it's likely just 4.4.4?
Usually, I don't think twice about firware upgrades, and just dl and install, but my Note II is paired with a Gear S, and I am a bit worried the upgrade may break connectivity or functionality.
Hey everyone.
I'm running on completely Stock 5.1.1 OK1 on my Note 4 and just recieved the official MM OTA update last night. Due to my phone having a lot of junk and being laggy I decided to flash the official firmware from any external method to have a clean install of the os. I heard about Samsung Kies which makes a back up of your phone and installs the latest os, I installed and backed up my phone last night but it didn't seem to give me an update on the os, it said "This is the latest version" (5.1.1 COK1).
My main concern about this is. I've bought this phone from Pakistan (used phone but in brand new condition) and I'm currently living in Malaysia and I have no idea who was the previous owner of this phone. In Kies it shows the phone number different than what I have (maybe its the Sprint phone number?).
What if my carrier is locked by having a clean install? Or any sort of other related issue occurs.
Please take some time to enlighten the facts from your knowledge, will highly appreciate it.
Regards.
waiting for official release bro. If rom is released on sammobile, see the icon kies highlighted on the right.

Yeah but you totally missed my question here.
Its not that I don't want to do some research myself, I'm a student and I'm busy most of the time. So if anyone can take out their precious time to answer my question I'd really appreciate the help.
If you're concerned about your phone or sim getting lock..you can just use galaxy tools apk v3.1.5 & then upgrade the apk to v3.1.8 & it will unlocked it for you... but i doubt it will lock you down... maybe you can just try to back your rom completely & restore if any issues encounter
it's dependent on the way that they unlocked the phone, someone in vietnam has been locked after updated the phone, but my phone was not.

And I have no idea how my phone was unlocked, I just bought it like this. I can see the Sprint phone number on Samsung Kies maybe I should write an email to Sprint asking them to unlock it using that Sprint phone number?
My Galaxy A22 4G(Indian version) is on official android 11 stock rom. I observed that there is no quick view option to cast phone screen to TV via WiFi or usbc2hdmi cable which I remember was available earlier (probably in Android 10). So I want to revert back to official Android 10 without causing the Knox to change since my company apps like mail etc will not work. Or if there is a way to add the quick view option(or similar app to cast phone screen to TV via usbc2hdmi cable and wifi) in android 11 without rooting or custom rom then that is also fine. Kindly help. Thanks
wi fi
Thanks. But unfortunately one of my TV doesnt have WiFi. So need to use usbc2hdmi cable for that. Any suggestions?
So just reiterating the original question
If I revert back my Galaxy A22 4G(Indian version) to official Android 10 from android 11 will it cause the Knox to change? Since my company apps like mail etc will not work if it finds out that the phone has been modded.
Well, it depends on the modifications you can make to your phone. Let's say that if you unlock the Bootloader to want to do some modification of the phone, then the Knox state would change and you would lose the warranty of the phone. Return to Android 10 version it is considered a modification of the phone system, but not as serious or experienced as wanting to root the phone. It also depends if the version is official and original from Samsung since it his official firmware.
I mean if you only unlock the Bootloader, it changes the state of Knox. And to return to the Android 10 version does not require the unlocked bootloader, But confirm that this version exists to flash it with Odin
