Got a text from my phone provider Friday that an updatr for the HD video was available, and also Gingerbread OS. Problem is the friend who translated it for me was not sure if the update was for the Tab or Galaxy S.
I will have access to my computer and KIES tonight and will post back here if it is ready or not.
Sent from my SHW-M180S using XDA App on the bus traveling home, lol!
Sorry everyone, but after updating my Tab it just says :
Firmware version: 2.2.1
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number: FROYO.EC12
Also when I connected to KIES it said the old was:
Current: PDA: EB22/ PHONE: EB18
NEW: PDA: EC12/ PHONE: EC09
So it loks like my friend was right and the update to GB was for the Galaxy S phone only. Makes sense as the S II was released this weekend, as well as the iPad2.
Sorry to get everyone's hopes up, but maybe this will be of some use to someone.
Hi,
I purchased Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 from US. Now I am in India and my friends have updated their S2 to ICS but whenever I am conecting my phone via Kies it says that latest software is installed on my phone.
Details are:
PDA: I9100UHKI2
Phone: I9100UHKI1
CSC: I9100UUBKI2
Android Version - 2.3.4
Build Number - GINGERBREAD.UHKI2
Please senior member help me.
I don't want to root my phone.
Thanks in advance.
It isn't available in your country. But you should be able to flash through Odin without rooting. Btw this isn't Galaxx S2 forum, this is Galaxy S.

Why did we post this message in the general area and here to? The Mods would have moved the other one here.
Your device is unlocked, no need to worry about different carriers.

Like Ax said don't worry about carrier, but you should be concerned with your model of phone. You have a GT-i9500 which has different hardware than the GT-i9505 and our SGH-I337(M). So i'd stick to your forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2286
After googling for I9500XXUAMDK it looks like your phone's firmware is russian. So, your problem is the radio hardware for mobile networks do NOT match to the network standards the carriers in US and Canada use. Mostly it's a matter of used frequencies and maybe communication protocols which differ from Europe to America.
You CAN try to flash another firmware with different modem which match better to your country but this won't negate any hardware limitations. I suggest to check http://www.sammobile.com for a firmware matching to your country, or your carrier. But this is just a suggestion; I won't give any guarantee it will work.
Good luck.

Google how to connect an Android phone to WiFi.
Its as simple as connecting a PC to WiFi.
Hello there.
I'm sorry if I haven't used the search engine right but I couldn't find a thread similar or answering my question.
I bought my phone, the note 3 in the Netherlands. It is an unbranded phone(phn) as far as I know.
But I am living in belgium. And for some reason I can't get my 4g to work with the Base operator.
Or with any other operators. For some reason there is no LTE option available in the network settings.
Now I have been searching on Google and went to some stores and compared my csc and ap version to the note 3 working on lte on the same network in the stores. And I saw with every note 3 in the stores that the ap version was ap n9005xxuena7 and mine is n9005xxuena6.
How come my unbranded phone with csc n9005phnena2 is not getting the update that let's me use 4g?
At least that is what I think?
After previewing the post, I noticed I have to update my signature. ..
Your carrier probably hasn't enabled it on your line.
Ring them up
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
I doubt that. They informed me about 4g them selves and the Sim they gave me had a small picture of 4g(lte) and 3 dual carrier on it.
Have you tried a factory reset?
I had a similar problem with my btu uk device after flashing the Polish na6 official firmware. Very unreliable mobile data connectity and went to 4g very rarely.
I didn't factory reset but instead flashed a custom rom (also based on na6) which fixed the problem completely.
I'd suggest factory reset first to see if that helps.

I don't know about Base, but with Proximus, you really have to call the customer service to ask them to activate the 4g for you. Did you try that?

I have a cheap abo with Proximus and have 4G on my note 3.
I don't have to do a thing about it so you don't have to call them its already activated for every abo.
I don't think it is operator related. Because my Sim works on my mother's s4 perfect.
I guess it is the update that is necessary to activate 4g on unbranded phones.

I can't say what's wrong with BASE, maybe they haven't enabled 4G towers yet...I'm on XL from Proximus and I get LTE all over Vlaanderen.
Well, try to flash some of the Polish 4.4.2 available all over XDA. My Note was also bought from Belsimpel but never had any issues with 4g--->with the latest NB3 (OTA) there's no more 4G sign...it's LTE.

Kies Backup works just fine...
Not every provider has 4G enabled in every CSC version. I get this question about 12 times a day on the T-Mobile NL forums.
I had 4G on DBT with T-Mobile NL two months before the T-Mobile NL Branded and PHN versions had it.
Resetting won't make a difference. This needs to be toggled in the firmware itself by Samsung. On most other devices you can use the *#*#4636#*#* or *#2263# dialer code to manually force the network mode, but they disabled it on the Note 3.

Thank you. You confirmed what I assumed was the problem.
I already have tried viaero. All I get is a black screen. No selectable option or toggle button. Nothing but a black screen. So I have to wait for an update or put a custom rom on it?
And is it possible to backup app settings? Like I dont have to configure Yatse again and Xbmc?
I am a noob with flashing custom roms and rooting.
Thank you.
call Base , tell them to activate it . Mobile Viking uses the base network and they had to phone base to activate G4 for my number.
up till few weeks a go you neded to make a call for proximus aswell but that changed because of the promoting of 4G action that is running for 6 months

there should be no need to flash a rom for this , i use a romanian Note3 and 4G ( proximus for daily use ) works perfectly.

No need to flash a customROM. If another official ROM has 4G enabled for our provider, you could flash that over PHN. No rooting, no knox triggering, no warranty issues. The only issue you might run into is that nonsense people have recently been getting flashing over PHN with the filesize.
NA6 is the most recent firmware for PHN. Could you go check in the stores what CSC version the devices are using that do have 4G on your provider? To my knowledge NA7 is a provider-specific version limited to T-Mobile and daughter-companies.

Did you miss the part where I said every CSC has a different list of 4G activated providers?

Thank you... Again.
I have been searching on Google for people having the same problem. I found someone posting his csc version and for this guy is the 4g working with the Ota update he got.
His csc version was N9005OXXDMJ4.
I'm also going to the store tomorrow to look it up.

What does that mean? Can I flash a romanian official rom without losing my data and app settings??
Actually, that's XEF. France Unbranded. (It could also be romania, but XEF is more common. Also, they tend to sell XEF in most open stores here in the benelux.)

In theory, you shouldn't loose any data. You can always use Helium to make a backup. (KIES tends to hate the Note 3. Or life in general)

Or should I look that up ?
I am going to look that up no matter what but advise and how to is always welcome.
Thank you for the help everybody.
EDIT: it explains on the website it self how to flash. Thank you.
Gonna let know if it worked.
Hello guys...
I am waiting for the Lollipop update on my galaxy S5 for months now and till date nothing has happened. Above all there's only about 10 variants of the SM-G900F which are actually in this situation actually out of 100s. I decided to flash it on my own using ODIN. Please can anyone who is more at ease with the process than me give me the procedure to do so ( I have flashed custom roms on other phones in the past).
I would also appreciate if you could give me a direct download link for the OS if ever you have it. I had seen them in this forum once but forgot where and which keywords to type.
And also and most importantly could you advise me about which versions will be compatible with my country's networks i.e Mauritius.
