Short feedback for upgrade on International P905 with Belgian provider: Downloaded Italian 5.0.2 firmware from sammobile and used Odin 3.07 with PDA set to that 2GB file with only F. Reset Time & Auto Reboot checked. Everything went fine. No factory reset/format/cache clear/... needed: I let it...

Just flashed my international P905 (Qualcomm Snapdragon) after having installed the latest OTA update available in Belgium since Towelroot is not an option anymore. No problems: reinstalled SuperSU from Chainfire and applications have root access again. Knox warranty tripped as I expected of...

Apparently some Euro countries got a security update in september/october that might break the Towelroot exploit. I didn't get that OTA update in Belgium yet... so not sure it would have worked for you in fact. And for tripping Knox, don't worry, we will probably all end up doing it with future...

I just did it with my P905 (snapdragon) , latest firmware & security updates (no older image needed): it worked, no problems except for the known needed reboot when stuck on disabling Knox (Super SU). There is no risk in trying Towelroot anyway, it either works or not. It won't trigger Knox...

My brother bought one of those too during a travel. Korean Samsung IMEI as well. But then he came back to Belgium and our local GSM/3g network provider blacklisted his S3/IMEI...

Well, it's obvious I guess... I start to hate ebay too ;) That's a S3 clone yes. Get your money back.

*Edited* Confirmed. Rooted with CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar (Had to download Superuser from market, launch it ->preferences->Try to update->Fails but root access is now enabled Oo). Thanks for this nice Rom :)

Kies does not currently install protected/signed bootloaders. Even with my Tab recently back from RMA: Samsung service re-flashed an unsigned bootloader (both sbl.bin & boot.bin).

With my bricked Tab back from RMA: both sbl.bin & boot.bin are unsigned now (they didn't flash the JJ3 firmware I put on it before bricking neither did they repartition apparently). I got some Kies upgrade compatibility back but not perfect: What is strange is when I flash an original JJ3...

They fixed the bootloader: sbl.bin & boot.bin, both are unsigned original samsung ones. They didn't reflash the kernel neither did they repartition. The best is: Kies compatibility is back :) Upgrading to official JJ7 through Kies atm.

Thanks ChainFire ;) I wanted to post such warning for JM* Bios a long time ago but like others I didn't bother... Another warning is maybe: If you have Kies compatibility (it says your firmware is the latest already or you can upgrade, ...) and want to keep this compatibilty -> Do not flash any...

Like the previous poster said: Eclipse + Google SDK to start (under Windows 7 here): http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Java to start your application then when you need more speed: e.g. for your 3D engine, you can use the NDK (also provided by Google) to add C/C++ modules. You can also...

Same here. Told it was using Kies firmware upgrade. They fixed it for free /phew :)

Well, in fact I wanted to do the same and I ended up bricking my Tab but that's my fault. I have a full dump of that brand new Tab JJ3 firmware (I followed the method the US people did to make a stock firmware in another thread here). With that dump I made a first .tar including only cache.rfs...

I had access to a brand new Tab yesterday (Product code: CPW) and it was pre-loaded with PDA JJ3, Phone JID. Kies proposed an upgrade to PDA JJ7 (Phone & CSC JJ5). So yes, JJ7 is still the last official firmware in Europe. PS: Firmwares are all fine till JK5 but I would suggest not to use JM6...
