Yes that's true. I installed USA firmware on my asian i5503 and it works but there are inconsistencies like compass working backwards. So I downgraded. Also I5508 have different kind of touch screen (resistive) so installing I5508 firmware will disable touch screen in I5503.

hey ando, how did you downgrade?

Hi andho
I also do like you. I have formatted my i5503 with froyo but hindi font had gone. only display boxes and next time i have formatted with 2.1 I5503DDJG4 firmware. Let me tell after officially froyo will release can we upgrade it or not? Nowadays i connect my device on my computer and check firmware update with kies but it displays message you can not updrade your firmware with this phone. what is this? never upgrade or if available we can do it?

[ROM] Official Froyo 2.2.1 - Retail Brasil - Rooted & Overclocked Nandroid available

[ROM] Official Froyo 2.2.1 - Retail Brasil - Rooted & Overclocked Nandroid available
Official Froyo 2.2.1 Update for Milestone - Retail Brazil​You need to flash the stock 2.1 ROM and use Motorola Software Update to get your phone updated to Froyo ( 2.2.1 ). If you are already running 2.1, just use MSU to update and retain your apps. If you are running a custom rom and want to get back to stock, please look at this thread for more information.
Official 2.1 Retail Brazil sbf's can be downloaded from the links below.
http://www.4shared.com/get/7769hgSD/...AE6E3DB7.dc322
http://www.multiupload.com/E7Z8DN94I3 (thnx rasstaylor)
You can update your phone after flashing the 2.1 sbf file by downloading the MSU. You can use this link to download the Motorola Software Updater.
Vulnerable recovery sbf and kernel from this ROM as a flashable zip file are attached. Nandroid back of this ROM, rooted and overclocked can be found here.
Many thanks to Sileshn and rasstaylor for their help. Credits to blogdoandroid.com for the information.
The wait is over. The moment that many were waiting, arrived. Motorola has finally released an Android 2.2 Froyo for Milestone, fulfilling his promise. Were 8 months of delay over the Droid, the American model of Milestone, but who was counting right? We were.
The wait continues for those who bought with operator (TIM, VIVO, CLARO, OI)
We were surprised with some cosmetic changes, you can check out the following photos below. The lock screen, Screen Lock, was redesigned, becoming different from the original Froyo Google as well as the Launcher (the screen that shows icons for apps. She was like the Eclair (Android 2.1). It is speculated that this was done to improve performance.
In addition to traditional apps already installed on the Milestone, a Facebook app was included. Motorola has certainly gained a quick buck to get it.
Another interesting accretion was a mini app to access the chip carrier, in my case of HI. Previously there was only app SIM Tool Kit, which has now been renamed to World HI. Besides this, has added another app, which is nothing more than two links to web pages of the operator, plus a link to the SIM Tool Kit SIM Tool Kit, or STK is very important for users of the HI, because allows us to check the credit balance.

I don't have this problem, but if I were in this situation, I would use ODIN to flash a ROM. You will lost everything, though.

If you're rooted, boot into CWM and clear cache and data and try restarting the tab. If that doesn't work, then do a factory reset. Last option would be to Odin. I still have the old official HC LA3 firmware if u need it, although most of us have gone over and flashed the UK ICS firmware. Don't know why Sammy hasn't given us U.S users an official American ICS release yet.

So, when the U.S. version comes out, if I have the non-rooted U.K 4.0.4 version installed, can I use Odin to install the U.S. version without root?

USA Galaxy Tab Plus firmware update via Kies is live

I just plugged my Tab Plus and was notified a new firmware is available. I can only guess that it's ICS since it's still updating, currently at 60%. At last!

Just finished. It is in fact ICS 4.0.4 :good: I notice the smoother UI operations right away. This is a USA wifi only Tab Plus by the way, all stock.

Yes I was very surprised this morning to see this and am installing it as we speak. I was getting pissed off as the TMo version was to start updating today too. Version PDA:LPC / CSC:LPC (XAR)
Good to know. I'll try it when I get home later today. WOOT!!!!

I notice that the update is also available at sammobile I did flash from ICS UK to ICS US without problems, the only thing that I don't like is that the ebook app is now not available at my country (Costa Rica)
Which is US wifi only? I see Cellular South but nothing else. I had flashed the UK version but would like to use US. I tried update on the tablet and received "process failed" for the update

If you encounter problem with stock browser after update, you have to clear data in application settings.
Is there any difference between the UK and US version?
Ohhhhh that means the update will soon hit for the P6200 model! Awesome news indeed! Can't wait for it

Not really, I notice that Readers hub was removed (That means Kobo and zinio are not installed by default) beyond that is "visually" the same, Not sure if there are some "internal" improvements, but it's just 0,07 Kb bigger than the latest ICS UK firmware

New firmware update (64mb)

Hey guys! Anyone gotten a recent firmware update?
Been using my Note 10.1 for 2 weeks now. I'm rooted (but on stock ROM) so I know I couldn't install the update.
Currently with a HK set with build N8000ZSALG7 (baseband N8000XXLGA)
Technically if I wanna apply the update, I would have to flash stock recovery? I downloaded it off zedomax's tutorial. Its the same for any region right? *Noob alert
Appreciate any help! Thanks!
One X to rule them all
Ok I flashed the stock recovery and updated the firmware successfully.
Bad news is its not JB (duh). The good news is it brings a few small improvements we saw in the recent India JB leak.
First and foremost, the irritating keyboard pop up upon exiting an app opened from a folder on homescreen is gone!!
And I found some small changes to s note
- s note widget is now added
- scroll bar in s note (but no more collapsing of the toolbars for fullscreen! Horrid)
- new book covers
- new landscape note
Unfortunately, the new split screens hasn't been included and mini apps stay the same. Bummer. Also, no airplay for the s pen in gallery and video player.
Other than these, I haven't found anything else. More to come from Samsung I hope! Really wish they would bring back the fullscreen mode in s note though.
UPDATE: PDF import into S Note seems to work ok now
the whole GALAXY to NOTE about...counting down from 10 to 1.
Not showing a n uodate on my system?
what is the Android version before and after the update? 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 ?

Not sure about Android version but it should be 4.04. Only noted the build no. It's currently on build N8000ZSALI1,baseband N8000XXLI1.Kinda strange I haven't seen many reports of this. Am l slow to the party or something?

Sorry for the late reply. I only rooted my Note using Zedomax's CWM method (Method 2 if im not wrong). Didnt flash any other roms as i wanted the chinese input keyboard found only in asian roms. I am not sure if you can just change firmware to another region. Most of the roms are based on the EU stock roms.
In order to update, I had to flash back the stock recovery (apparently available online and universal) since it was in CWM recovery after rooting. This will enable any official OTA update.
Any form of flashing rom will result in wiping of data/settings. You need to use titanium backup after rooting. Rooting (flashing CWM and SuperSU) will not cause any data wipe.
Hope that helps.
