Hello everyone
I have recently travelled to US and I have bought Galaxy Note 10.1 32GB, model number is GT-N8013 so it is US version of the tablet.
I'm aware that there is no 4.1 OTA yet for this version, however when I go into software update menu for the first time there is a request to choose my country.
So the question is if I select my real country (Poland) will I ever receive an update to the US version of the tablet, or should I stick this answer to US ? Or maybe it doesn't really matter ?
BTW there is no official 32GB version of Galaxy Note 10.1 in Poland, and the 16GB WiFi version is GT-N8010.
Thanks for your answer.
Try Poland, if you get an error try again and chose US. If it is about a hardware id it will only let you use US, if it is ip related it will be Poland.

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...

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...

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..

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?
Hi Everyone.
I'm currently using a refubrished Galaxy S8 plus, the model is SM-G955U.
As you can guess this is a phone destined for the USA market but currently I'm using it in Bangladesh which is in another continent.
As a result i didn't receive any updates after purchasing the phone and whenever i try to download update manually it says, "Registration Failed"
Can anyone help me to update my phone? I have attached screenshots in which you can see the current software version of the device.
Also if updating to official Samsung software isn't possible then can anyone suggest me custom ROMs for this model!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You should get updates automatically irrespective of your location. Try the site https://firmware.science/ and select your phone and firmware version and follow the instructions .

Failed registration may be because of the fact you aren't using a US SIM card.
U models also.. don't have much custom ROM abilities. It's a locked Snapdragon. You can use firmware sites to be able to download updates respective of the model number.
