no worries

Model number and SN just makes sure Kies selects the correct firmware. Using the model number and SN in the link fools Kies to be able to flash your device

 

[Rayz Mond]

im trying the method right now

 

[Rayz Mond]

where does it selct the firmware from? the PC? or the internet

 

[Rayz Mond]

Is it possible to use download mode instead? I can't access Recovery mode after the fiasco with Odin

Kies is a Samsung official tool. It will download the firmware from its site after you enter the model number and SN

It is supposed to be download mode, they just listed it wrong.

 

[Rayz Mond]

okay. its currently downloading files. But I'm in Download mode..

 

[Rayz Mond]

ah ok. that makes more sense.

 

[Jfalls63]

If it works, your device will be a G530T instead of a G530T1. Everything will work as it should

It will flash the current firmware version for the 530T which should be 5.1.1

I don't think we are editing but writing over it

 

[Rayz Mond]

oh haha well thank you. And that's what I thought. Simply replacing files and not editing. 70%. software update and installation. oh.. what does FRP lock mean

 

[Jfalls63]

My fingers are cramping from keeping them crossed. Do we have success yet?

 

[Rayz Mond]

installing system update. lil green android dude
