Hey everyone, just wondering if the update for the note through Kies is also regien dependent?
I'm US based and OTA update is not available so I tried using Kies but when I connect my note to the computer, it is still saying that my current fw is the lates (which is still GB2.3.6).
Any ideas? Thanks!

Oh ok! I thought that the update via Kies would be for all international versions of the note. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait for at least a US release of ICS then.
Thanks a lot!

Yup, my note is the international one. It's just that I'm based here in the US but I bought my note through Amazon. I'm not sure though where my note originally came from though...is there anyway to find out? Sorry for being such a noob, this is actually my first android phone.
Ok I looked underneath the battery, it only says Made by Samsung. I have the blue international (says in the box) but really, it looks black to me though a it does have a shade of blue to it. ^^
I have the ics update available via kies right now, although I'm scared top hit update since kies bricked my vibrant. My GNote came from Germany....think I should update? Or wait for the ota?
Hmm..if it's official via kies, it should be pretty safe. =)
If ever, I would think OTA updating would carry almosts the same risks updating via Kies would since you are updating to an official fw anyway.
Happy that you have it since you have a german made note, im hoping that the asian made ones (korea/china) would get released soon as well!
I caved in, I updated....couldn't wait for the ota So far, I love it! Running very smooth. It was a little laggy at first, so I did a factory reset and it's been perfect since. No issues. My quadrant seemed to drop though, don't know what that's all about.
I did read Germany GNotes are first, but I'm sure yours will be soon
Wow, glad you had no trouble updating! Enjoy ICS! =)
Thank you! Yeah I was super worried because I updated my vibrant to 2.2 on kies in December and it stopped in the middle of installing the update....it killed my vibrant But it looks like they completely redid kies, it's much nicer now. You're next Seraph

Can I flash the new DBT-Release from Germany on my ATO-Note? Or do I get in trouble with the product code? I read that there is a chance to loose the IMEI if the product codes do not match...

I used Odin and a copy of the stock ROM to do just that. I was stuck in a mode where kies kept reporting that my phone wasnt supported for upgrades and changing my code to DBT made my phone find tge upgrade, but refuse to install it. I rooted at first and bricked it during a failed upgrade, so I used Odin to drop the HK ROM on it with success.

Exynos update is only available in one region, though it’s only a matter of time before the update becomes available to others either through Samsung Kies, an OTA or both methods.

How to install kazakstan firmware to india s5 exynos octa????
hi i have downloaded the kazakstan firmware and i want to install it to s5 india..
my phone is not rooted
please tell me how can i install the firmware?
I am on my 3rd reinstall, first I upgraded via Odin on top of kitkat, and system was too slow, 2nd I rooted via auto root (It works btw) and apparently I deleted with Titaniun Backup something important and system refused to boot. 3rd reinstall I just rooted and deleted some bloatware and everything is working ok. This is Multilingual btw. overall not so fast no so slow, I use cm12 official nightly in another device and its just a bit slower. Used Sammobile link to get the file
Hi! i downloaded it today and it's running now! works great! i don't know how to root the device with android 5
It works perfectly. Although I tried different versions of the country. Can we root that? Is anyone try to root it?
Hi all,
maybe that is expected but I thought my Note 4 should be subject of Lollipop Update. Device information says "SM-N910F".
I am on Stock firmware, no root or so.
Is Lollipop not available for my device yet or am I doing something wrong.
Thanks in advance guys for feedback.
Cheers from Germany
waintg like i do SM-N910F (TPL)
I read somewhere that lolipop update was canceled because of problems with Poland ROMs
Really? I thought it's spread now for nearly every version

Canceled lol? No it is not "canceled" it is rolling out to the device in different regions...just wait until it hits your region.
Its not rolling out to any region but Poland & Korea for C version and Germany for F... something bad spotted in beta testing, they're recoding firmwares and the update is on hold. As it rolls out to much older devices, we with Note4 have to still wait. It's just as it is... Samsung fails to satisfy its flagship owners one more time.
Sent from my GALAXY Note 4
Thanks KS ljubimci. That's why I'm wondering. I believe to be on F and am in Germany as well. Now you guys got really confused.
They are saving the best firmware for us till last as they experiment on other devices (^_-) shall be worth the wait.

Completely normal way for Samsung. Poland and Korea usually first and after a while they will spread to other regions.
I expect, for Europe, the UK next followed by France, Italy and Spain.

If someone bad (as in show stopping bad) would have been discovered they would not have released the final version in Poland or Germany.
They may adjust some small things for other regions but nothing indicates that they pulled the plug on the update. (if a real problem would had been discover they also would have stopped rolling out Germany and Poland)
Guys, just to repeat: I AM in Germany and AM on F but Update not showing. So what's wrong then?
Download it from sammobile if you really need it. I myself had to downgrade in order to get my things work the way I want them to. Besides I'm not a fan of the lollipop animation gimmicks at all.
So it is Only available from sammobile and expected behaviour that it's not offered via KIES or OTA?

No. It should be offered via KIES or OTA. But if Samsung really pull back the update due to some bugs, you won't be able to get them either way so you have to download from Sammobile if you can't wait for Samsung to release them again.
Hmm okay. So we ASSUME it was pulled back then.

I'm on 5.0.1 Lollipop only because I downloaded the update from XDA and installed using ODIN. It is was a very easy process and does NOT void your warrany as you are not rooting the phone.
Bought my phone from Three last week and it came with 4.4.4.
To many problems with lollipop at the moment I am rolling back to 4.44.

I might try that,I haven't heard of it before though so I'll have to look into it a little bit more. Another question, let's say the official lollipop update comes out. How would I get around downloadin that after I uninstall the unofficial update?
I'm in UK and i recently update to 5.0.1 with odin ... yes, the warranty was NOT void but battery life it's quite poor ... i will wait for official UK 5.0.1 for EE. Untill then i will downgrade to 4.4.4 ...
I'm on BOC3 and find the battery to be excellent. Definately a better build than DBT.

I think this is the netherlands but works fine on my f unlocked UK.
Has to be said I was disappointed with the initial german release, the contacts app crashing constantly was a real PITA, I rolled back since then and found KK is far more stable.
Think what has been disappointing from Samsung is they are being pretty poor in software roll out planning, it is bad now however I am wondering how it will be after the S6 is launched globally.

It won't be "formatted", you'll have to do the factory reset yourself and since it is an official ROM from Samsung you phone will be eligible for later OTA's

I'm on 5.0.1 on BOC3. BOB4 wasn't anything fantastic after the initial hype of it being Lollipop died, but BOC3 was a noticeable upgrade to even BOB4. In my experience anyway. I have an unbranded 910F and flashed the BOC3 via ODIN. I'd highly recommend it!

Disappoints me that its taking this long, having swapped from a Nexus 5. Feels like we're jumping through hoops just to get an update that's already outdated.
