Latest Samsung Ativ S firmware updates

[Marin Frenky]

Greeting good people
just registered here as soon i saw ppl talking about official wp 8.1.
i am now at DP 8.1 update, firmware 2424.13.5.1 my CSC is DBT phone not carrier locked.
Can I just switch CSC to ATO do a hard reset and get update to 8.1 including firmware update, or do I have to revert back to WP 8.0 and do the whole update thing.

Just out of interest have any of you experiencing problems tried a factory reset to see if that fixes the issues?

3 times without success
lil bit of lag is still present, its not bad just a bit slower then DP

searched - nothing...
firmware and OS version - same, like I said before

@EDIT: I bought my Ativ S i8750 in Links.hr. Links isn't mobile operator, it's hardware store... Here is my phone info - http://i.imgur.com/YkhSvPI.png - Picture was shooted 2 days ago but it's same like I said(maybe is firmware and OS versions different)

If you want to have now new official 8.1 you must downgrade or if don't want to revert back to 8.0 wait some day. read my post maybe you will find the answers...

In terms of speed I think the Bluetooth was faster under DP 8.1. With final 8.1 i transferred 4 MB file to laptop, (it has bluetooth 4.0), it took 70 seconds.
I do not use to call via bluetooth, so i do not know how behaves.

oh boy... you dont have new FW and no new bootloader

You have developer preview so you need to wait for Samsung to release the new FW for DP users
you can only FLASH your phone back to GDR2 and then update everything
sorry

No, you don't understand me best... I had back to WP 8.0 and GDR2 with ATO CSC... Now I have 8.1 Update(8.10.14157.200), firmware 2424.13.11.2 and bootloader 13.08.14.16. I updated without PfD program to 8.1, I coudn't do that before without PfD program.

you dont understand me
Samsung released new firmware and bootloader + WP 8.1.1 ALL IN ONE package for CSC ATO. How the hell did you update only the OS without installing FW and bootloader? You did something wrong. What can you do? Repeat the whole process again

As far as i am concern, in terms of speed, it is faster than DP, I can see it.
I have SanDisk Ultra 64 GB Class 10 Micro SD on it. It does matter what kind of Micro SD card you put in the phone, the quality of it. The phone reads all the data that SD has on it, so it could slow or make faster the phone.
I am happy with it so far.
In regard with the phone camera/video that I could not save the changes, now is back working, I turned on and off the camera anti-shake option and now the save/reset option are enabled, I can press on them.

I did installed the windows 8.1 update.
I had some problems with one of the usb ports while flushing to 8.0 GDR2, failed something, and did not completed successfully.
I left it around 10 minutes and nothing, just the sound of the windows, in this case 7, like finding a new driver. All the required tools were installed. I removed the cable and moved to different usb port, it worked perfectly. I was afraid that i damaged it, but I didn't.
With this update, I presume is final, the phone runs faster, I also switched a few times from photo mode to video mode, it is working fine so far.

I don't wanna be a grammar Nazi, but edit your last 2 posts (this one and the one before), where you say "flush and flushing", change it to "flash and flashing". Flush means when you flush something down the toilet,

From the picture you provided to us, if that's your current "About Phone", then you have WP8.1 but with firmware and bootloader from GDR2. Cuz i got the exact same numbers when i was on GDR2. But later i see you answer to Pappale that you actually have firmware and bootloader from GDR3, according to the numbers.

Can anyone(if any)? on UK BTU let me know when update will be available?.Thanks

So, how I can install/update bootloader and fw to originall for WP8.1.1?

 

[maki01]

Here is screenshot from diagnostic app for this official version (with ROM number and CSC number).I just erase my mac address from picture. If someone leak this ROM, everybody will make to flash to official 8.1.
