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...

new firmware for thailand!

anyone want to take a crack at it?
its on sammobile, you could probably also use checkfus if you have something against sammobile.
Im not at a computer, so I cant check OS info w/CheckFus. Was hoping this might be 4.0 as a post I started a while back advertised Thailand gettin ICS March29-30th.
As of De-Odexed & Zip-Align, try my DIY how-to in my thread. Should take you ~ 20 minutes.
Hi Bro,
Waiting for You to De-Odexed&ZipAligned of this version... Please
GT-P6200 P6200DXLC1 Android 3.2 2012 March P6200OLBKK8 Thailand
can this be a good sign somehow?
I'd sure like to see it as a good sign that they are releasing new GT-P* firmware updates. Who knows!
Has anyone flashed this baby yet. Chris should we flip a coin to decide who's first?
Seriously speaking, does anybody have any info on the phone provider just to make sure that our malaysian tab is radio compatible in Thailand.
FW is not ICS but may carry lots of improvements.

[Q] Software Update - choosing country?

Hi Everyone,
I got the Galaxy Note 10.1 as a gift for a friend. While I was checking if everything was working fine, I noticed that there is an option to chose the country for 'software updates'.
The device was bought in Helsinki, Finland and will be gifted to a person who will be moving to the US soon for higher studies. At the moment, I didn't chose any country and just let it be. Can someone let me know what this location choosing is all about for the software update?
For example, If I chose Finland now and later when the device is in the US, will it receive software updates only when there is an update released for Finland? On the other hand, is it fine if we already chose "US" as the country even though the device is still here in Europe?
Thanks in advance. Cheers....
The product code determines witch updates will be available not your choice of country to view the TOS in.

Thanks.
So it doesn't matter if I chose US or UK or Finland now for setting the software update?
But then why does the location need to be set for software updates when starting up a new device?

You are not setting any thing, you are choosing which TOS to read.
Follow up question... if I may.
My Note 10.1 came from HK (N8000OZSALI1) but I see that there are a bunch of 4.1.1 updates for other countries. Can I use those with my Note so I can update it (via Odin i assume) ?
Yep... Via ODIN or mobile ODIN...

Jelly bean OTA update not detected

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..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016792
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?

Stock Update JB 22-FEB-2013 Samsung Official release schedule

The Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus is getting bumped up to Jelly Bean.
Samsung's official schedule is ...........
22-FEB-2013 !!!
Subject to change........
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...axy-Note-S-II-in-March-Ace-2-in-April_id39393
So we should expect test releases very soon
This could very well be an OTA file, instead of a full ROM tarball.
We would need to find the base Ukranian firmware. Maybe keep changing CSC on Ukraine stock until it shows OTA available.
Thanks for the news, GOD I hope its in a few weeks..

Could,be,but the update will have to be extensive, since we need a new kernel, and boot (to fix the brick bug) as well as OS

For the Galaxy SII with similar hardware, the updates are full updates (over 580 MB)
Heads up last night I saw Japan Tab 7.0 Plus Kies Update from @SamKiesUpdates,
Japan SC-02D Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus update SC02DOMMP4/SC02DDCMMP4
edit: thats the tmobile Note getting JB not Tmo tab plus..
Rolling out.. Confirmed here.....
http://www.pocketdroid.net/samsung-...d-receive-jellybean-updates-japan-ntt-docomo/
Edit: may be reported incorrectly other people reporting its 4.0.4 with a build.number of IMM76D.OMMP4 instead of beginning with J
While I dont think we should start ripping this apart and bricking devices attempting to port,
I think our JB is on its way soon..

Yeah, haven't seen anything yet on SamMobile, but we should expect to possibly test releases very soon
The release of official JB will help with the CM based ROMs too, they can update their libs and kernel and fix some of the bugs

Don;t be silly, the 6210 will probably be one of the first to update, they don;t have to clear with a cell provider first.
The UK P6210 was the fist to get ICS 4.0.4 , so we will be watching for a UK update to JB
Welp, I searched for a base Ukraine firmware previously and there was none not even HC.
Samfirmware just posted a 4.0.4 Ukraine (Kyivstar) firmware and Kazakhastan 4.0.4 firmware.
They are dated Sep/Oct though..
good news to me..

That is indeed good news. Samsung is trying to get everyone (P62xx) up to the same baseline before the JB update.
There is also a recently posted China update for p6210
PDA: P6210ZCLPC
CSC: P6210OZHLPC
Version: 4.0.4
Date: 2013-01-28
I would expect the updates for P62xx Tab 7 plus to come out about the same time as P68XX Tab 7.7 since the hardware is very similar.

Samsung is pushing out all the 4.0.4 builds to get everyone on the same baseline before JB 4.1.2 starts rolling out.
Although not the quickest release (us customers are never happy) I am glad that Samsung is pushing out something for the p6200 - I am glad we have not been forgotten....

[Q] Question from a newbie here about 4.2.2.

Hi, guys! I am new here and new to Android as an OS. Please forgive me if my question is stupid or asked in a wrong way, but it is important for me to do things right, so I don't brick my phone. Samsung Galaxy S II Plus GT-I9105P is my first smartphone and now I am looking for update to 4.2.2. The thread I have question about is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334103
The question is - which version of them all in the thread above to choose. My current OS is 4.1.2. baseband version I9105PXXAMC1. I live in Bulgaria, and the phone is localized for Bulgaria (contains Bulgarian language), but I use the phone in English. I would appreciate if you can tell me which version to choose. I prefer the deodexed versions, so I can fix the famous initially-low-volume ringing of Samsung.
Thanks in advance!
there is only 1 version of the 4.2.2 stock rom for s2 plus, XXUBMG8 (yea right samsung is so slow)
that version is for germany but it works on all s2 plus devices.
you should download the deodex version if you want

I see. Hopefully it contains English, because 5 years of studying German and 8 years not practicing it will make it hard to operate Thanks for the reply!

yes it does
Yeah, it contains English. AFAIK, all Samsung firmwares regardless of country or region, contain English.

Guys, I installed the rooted and deodexed 4.2.2. It's great, thank you. Only problem was I didn't automatically received 3G settings from my carrier, so I contacted them and now it's fine. :cyclops:
