Galaxy A5 (SM-A500F)http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-A500F

[Chimera]

People, nobody tried to flash? There is a model SM-A500F, purchased in Malaysia, there is no Russian. For parents, this is critical. I found the firmware, A500FXXU1ANL1_A500FSER1ANL1_A500FXXU1ANK4_HOME.tar.md5, the phone seems to be certified for Russia.
Is it possible to sew, or is there a chance to kill to death?

[Chimera]

The phone has just been successfully flashed with the above firmware via One

[ernis-1]

I bought version 5000 and wanted to know the firmware from a 500 would suit it or not? The problem is that there is no Russian in the phone.

Today, on Wi-Fi I received an update of 35.18 MB, until I found what has changed.

It is on the Samsung A5. Yesterday I turned on Kies3, connected the phone through the cord and started dancing with a tambourine! :))))) Kies 3 was first updated to the latest version, then it was reported that there was a new firmware, I said update and it took 15 minutes, and now this is I have a program for our phone!

I don’t know what it’s about, but the camera has definitely gotten better, autofocus has become clearer. The second day I try. Camera settings just did not change.

I tried to put on my A500N root + cwm recovery which is laid out on page 17, tel. gone into an endless reboot.

[Vladinskih]

Vetaleg @ 02.13.2015, 15:55

tel. gone into an endless reboot.

It's sad probably now there are no romodels and tools for root and other manipulations, it’s better not to risk it!

Yes, by the way, note that the root is not particularly necessary if you think about it, because if you want to remove something from the system programs, then this is not necessary - you can simply disable it in the application manager. After turning them off, these applications are not even visible in the menu and they do not work in the background, and do not interfere with anyone and do not need to root
Sams offers excellent functionality and install another firmware or make a root. I see no reason everything works stably and without lags!

[Vetaleg]

Yes, I also do not see any special problems, I rolled up my native firmware, put the root, which was laid out earlier and without further loss of any data, I use it further. Instead of the necessary applications, I still prefer to delete, because a couple of times noticed that being disabled they were updated.

[ELEKTPOKOT]

Vladinskih @ 02.13.2015, 20:54

... to do the root I do not see the point. everything works stably and without lags!

Ruth does not get to get rid of firmware lags and improve stability.
Ruth is obtained to expand the functionality of the device and to obtain additional opportunities in its use.
This is of course a personal matter of everyone, to do the root, or not to do it. For me to use an android without root access, it's like running with your pants down.

[Sanyafil]

Today updated to the new firmware: A500FXXU1AOB1 from 02/03/2015. The first thing that I liked was that now the smart mates with the Samsung Gear S. And it can subjectively sound louder.

Do you have 500H or 500F?

[johnik73]

Hello everyone. Played with experiments and smart no longer logs on. Writes: SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery. This inscription appears when you try to enter the recovery, and it also reboots in fastboot mode. Tell me how to get out of this unpleasant situation?

[ostapenko1983]

and what did you do with it if it's not a secret?)))) so as not to step on the same rake. And by the way, who tried to get the root through Kingo Root?

[johnik73]

Ruth received in different ways;)
