It depends on where you bought it
what country you are in
and who the operator is.
More info needed.

I bought it in Kosovo, seems it comes from Macedonia

The most common way is to install Samsungs Kies and do an firmware update in the program. This will check automatically whether an update is available for you.

After update all went OK.

PDA: I9000XXJPY
Phone: I9000XXJPY
CSC: I9000XAJPY
Build info: 2010.12
is all OK?

Where to find firmware release notes?

Is there somewhere where I can find release notes for samsung firmware updates.
I plugged my tab into Kies today, and it came up with a message advising me there are updates available.
Current firmware version: PDA:JK2 / PHONE: JK2 / CSC:JK1 (XSS)
Latest firmware version: PDA:JM5 / PHONE: JM2 / CSC: JM6 (XSS)
It sure would be nice to know what I'm getting before I update.

[Q] can't update my phone to 4.3

Good day, my I9505 won't update to 4.3 via OTA. Still stuck to 4.2.2
i dont know what's causing this problem. Im from south east asia and 4.3 update was released last year. checked my devices if it's rooted, installed root checker *deivice does not have proper root access*. How can i tell my device if it's rooted or not? Can you tell me what's causing this problem? Is it region locked? Newbie here.

Try using Kies PC software to update. It will let you know if your phone has been modified and refuse to update

thanks for the reply. Used Kies and this message showed up " Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmrware via Kies" CURRENT FIRMWARE VERSION: PDA: MEA/ PHONE: MEA/ CSC: MEA(DBT)
searched the version of my phone here is the list:
AP: I9505XXUBMEA
CP: I9505XXUBMEA
CSC: I9505OXABMEA
my device status is Official...
is there any conflict on the version of my phone? actually Im the 2nd owner of the phone, don't know what the 1st owner did to it (modification or anything...) and where the phone came from. MANY THANKS!

i don't have any knowledge on rooting a phone.

It came from germany so feel free to download the file from here ,But the best thing you can do is flash a pre-rooted 4.2.2 rom man then flash any 4.3 custom rom you like just to avoid that Knox Warranty Void , so incase you got a problem later you can just go back to 4.2.2 but this is up to you.

thanks! so if my phone came from Germany, there is no way I cant update my phone via OTA and Kies because now the phone is now in Philippines? pls enlighten me on this.
I have no knowledge on flashing nor rooting a phone, can you give me step by step instructions? or is there any other way to update my phone officially? (requires no rooting or flashing) THANKS!

[Q] From HK FW to Ita no brand

Hello,
I bought a GN3 in Hong Kong. I've tried many times to upgrade to the newest fw via OTA or Kies unsuccesfully.
Here is the details of my phone:
AP: N9005ZHUBMI7
CP: N9005XXUBMI5
CSC: N9005ZZHBMI7
As soon as the phone tries to install the new firmware, the phone gives an error and stops the upgrade. I don't understand why.
I would like to upgrade to an european FW like ITA nobrand. And I have some questions:
1) Will the CSC change as I flash the new FW, I mean will be installed the new CSC ?
2) I heard about the knox trigger. Will it be triggered or not ?
3) The status of the phone will remain "Official" ?
4) The upgrade to the new firmware MK2 will not allow to get the root anymore ?
5) Can I upgrade to new released FW in the future via OTA or Kies ?
Thank you in advance.
