My understanding is that if it has the US stock image and is not rooted (unlocked is OK) that you will get the OTA updates. The WiFi-only Xooms have the same exact hardware, so you can flash them with any other WiFi compatible image.

Hi all
I am looking for an ICS Xoom ROM which supports British 3G
Any help greatly appreciated.
This rom works fine ( 3g works as well ) on my UK wifi/3g motorola xoom ( 601 )

I have been using my MZ601 in Spain, France and Romania on 3G with no problems using the EOS ICS version 1.0. This ROM have proven to be a major improvement in lot's of ways over the stock 3.2 version. I assume that the 3G in the UK functions the same as the rest of Europe?

I have been using EOS ICS version 1.0 in the UK and it works fine on the O2 network so I guess any other operator will work too.
The only problem is that my device doesn't seem to be able to go to deep sleep with it which means that I am charging the battery all the time.
I am looking for a HC 3.2 rom to go back to after having tried a lot of nightlies as well.

Hi! I believe that the Samsung SII is a quadband phone so there is no need to worry about the updates. You can choose to use the Indian or Italian updates. If you choose the european one you need to be aware that maybe your language is not going to appear.
See how strange is life, I am italian but I live in another country and both my iphone and android phones are receiving updates from the USA OTA channel. No problem at all but the fact that some European languages are not included in the updates.
Edit: I made a mistake. You were asking WHEN and not WHERE. I apologize but for what I know the one of Europe are going to be distributed in +/- one month as Shyamjptm said.
Sorry again.
You will get in next month...

Hello everyone,
I live in the UK and got my Note 10.1 Wi-Fi N8000 for last Christmas from my brother who worked in South Korea. Everything was in Korean and I switched it all in English and everything works fine.
The thing that bugs me right now is that I would like to upgrade to Jelly Bean but nothing new is detected when I hit the Software Update button... Do you have any idea why?
Is it simply not available for me yet and should I just wait more? That would surprise me as I noticed that JB has already been deployed in many countries now, and 4.1.2 update seems to be on the way...
Or more likely in my opinion, does it have anything to do with my tablet coming from South Korea?
In any case, what should I do to get Jelly Bean?
For now, my Note is working under the original ICS 4.0.4, and is not rooted. I am ok with rooting my Note if need be but if possible, I'd prefer not to use Kies...
Thanks for your help!
root and update with odin to get the latest 4.1.2 check the step by step guides first though so you know what you are doing.

you can't update OTA because the firmware that you are using is of South Korea.. so the only way to get JB is to flash it... and don't worry everyone here don't use kies... we use ODIN...
what you shoud do first is download these necessary files:
1. Odin - the flashing tool
2. the firmware you wan't to flash
optional:
3. root
4. custom recovery..
here's the link for guides and downloads - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080366

Thanks very much!
I would have a few more (newbie) questions still:
- Once I flash a new ROM, will I be able to get OTA updates or will it be never possible?
And actually I don't understand why using a South Korean firmware prevents me from updating OTA... How do the South Korean do then, they can't update OTA? If I got a South Korean IP by connecting to a South Korean VPN for example, would OTA updates work? Or am I totally wrong? :silly:
- About choosing the new ROM (I'll stick with the official ones for now), does the country matter or can I choose whatever I fancy? (I live in the UK right now but I'm from France so I don't know if I should choose one version over the other)
- And one last but not least thing: as my Note is from Korea, my device model is actually SHW-M480W and is not like N80XX.
As it is Wi-Fi only, it should correspond to N8010 but are you sure that flashing a N8010 firmware will actually work?
Ihave rogers galaxy note edge and does anyone know where to find the stock rom?!??!
I've been searching for 3 hours...
There isn't any yet.
Hopefully it will become available on Sammobile soon.
you can pull it yourself using Kies. I posted a tutorial on her in the question forum.

Doesn't seem to work with a custom recovery [emoji53]. If anyone can successfully pull the image and share it would be greatly appreciated!

Look in tho these sites, as per the Tech Specs, the N915T and N915F are identical to our N915W8. Both stock version are available at Sammobile (915f and 915t )
http://www.mobosdata.com/samsung-gal...-edge-sm-n915f
http://www.mobosdata.com/samsung-gal...-edge-sm-n915t
http://www.mobosdata.com/samsung-gal...edge-sm-n915w8
I have the n915t (because I was not sure if Canada was actually going to get it) that runs perfectly on ROGERS LTE, Fido LTE, Bell (Telus) LTE,WIND (no LTE since they do not have it in Calgary), and T-mobile (since it's a T-mobile phone) (these are the SIMS it has successfully used).
I was trying to find out if it was similar to n915g and n915s (so at least you state (based on that mobosdata) that the n915t it is equivalent to the n915f and n915w8 in terms of hardware (does that also include the modem / radio?). I ask since I wanted to put the 915g Lollipop on it (I would have to change the sales code from TMB to XSA I think).
I tried your mobosdata links but they all come back 404 error.

Hello good people of the XDA forums,
I live in Canada and recently ordered a Galaxy A51 off of Amazon, only to find out it is apparently the Latin American version of the SM-A515F variant. Using my Canadian sim card, will I be able to get get OTA updates on this phone from Samsung or not? If it comes to it at the end of the day, I suppose I could live with manually updating with Odin (how that works I have yet to find out), but I'd definitely not prefer it. As of this moment I'm still stuck with the December 1st security patch and version A515FXXU1ASL1. I got this phone just this Friday and didn't even receive an update as I was setting it up, which certainly worried me.
Also, and on a related note, because this is the Latin American version, NFC is disabled. Is that something that could be changed as well/be fixed in the future?
Thank you so much for your help y'all

I am also canadian who purchased international version on purpose(easy to root international)as soon as i put in my sim i recieved an OTA notice.
Mine happens to be panama latin america. I recieved u2ata8 update. Whatever you do,DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING BUT INTERNATIONAL FIRMWARE VIA ODIN. IF YOU FLASH CANADA FIRMWARE ON INTERNATIONAL VARIATIONS THEN YOU WILL HARD BRICK. Also you will get odin fail if you have U2 in your firmware. Cannot roll back to U1

If I'm not getting prompted for similar updates does that mean I'm probably not going to be getting OTA updates? I believe my phone is the Panama version as well.

I definitely haven't gotten any updates. Is there any reasonable reason why I'm not getting updates but you are? I'm with Public Mobile, if that makes a difference. Would it have something to do with my sim card? The country code on my phone is TPA, which from what I've seen is the Latin America/Panama model.

No idea. All i know is whenever there is a panama ota update I get it
I also ordered an A51 off of Amazon. I have the Latin American model and got an update to the February security patch not too long ago. It should work fine for you!

Do you have a link that explains what you're saying in detail? I'm trying to learn the details of this. I have a Latin American phone (DS) that I'd like to root.
