http://fus.nanzen.se/ this site lets you know what updates are available.
and it depends. if youre waiting for OTA, you can only wait for the OTA for the region the device came from. ie. im on 2.3.5 polish version, i cant download hong kong 2.3.6 ota, even if im in hong kong. ota is specific to the region your device originated from.
your ota will automatically download the version specific for your phone, regardless of where you are. the only except is if youre on an operator locked device, at which point, you would need to be able to communicate with the operators servers.
however, if youre choosing to flash the software manually, you can use another region's firmware iirc.
simplest way is to just plug it into your computer and run KIES and it will tell you if theres an update for your specific device or not.

Thanks .

Enter this into your phone's dial pad: *#272*imei# where imei is your phone's imei.
See Settings > About Phone > Status > IMEI.
If you see a list of sales codes(CSC's) like XEU, DBT etc, then you can change your CSC to DBT and the OTA and Kies update will work.
Otherwise, you may have a network branded version that doesn't have options to change CSC and this won't work.

But. salescode is it? Cpw .
and install under there. culd it be a list of csc there before i hit install or? what happend if i hit install on it. the man who saled this to me said that my phone where open on every network.sim.

the man was correct as you CAN use any network operator SIM. unfortunately that is different from being able to set a country code. i am in the same situation as i assumed CPW provided all phones totally stock ... clearly i was wrong :-(

Which region to choose for internationl note

Hey, i have the note and in the regional it "KOR", which one should i change to be international?
i see that all the updates are international first.

There is no 'international' like in sole version that gets updates. It still attached to the region you live or bought the phone.
Recently, the German version has been receiving updates first. Code - DBT
But this is no guarantee that will stay that way.
Cheers.

o.k but i live in israel and the phone is not released in here and the region is set to "KOR".
there are alot of free games that i cant find in samsung apps and i like to know which one is the best to set?
b.t.w - i still didnt see the last firmware update.

Just change your region.
Type this on the phone dialer - *#272*your imei number#
Sent from my GT-N7000

please note that by changing your region you will wipe your phone like doing a factory reset. make a backup first.

[Q] SGS4 origin and how to change it.

I just got my phone, when I opened it I noticed that the first language option that was given to me was spanish (or maybe portugese not really sure) anyway, that got me curious, did my phone come originally from south america or somewhere in the iberian peninsula?
I was sure about this when I opened the browser and saw this locked bookmark from samsung that is in spanish.
anyway, is there anyway to know where my phone originally came from or was manufactured for? and is there any way to change this?
Thank you.

You can search the baseband info on sammobile.com
I found that my ebay purchased unit was bound for Trinidad/Tobago.

Thanks!
Mine is for Colombia (COO)
will it be OK to install a firmware other than the one for colombia? for example I want to change to a firmware from brazil instead or germany.

I'd like to know as well - I'd like to install the latest firmware (I9500XXUAMDM I believe?) from another country as my country (S. Africa) is currently on I9500XXUAMDE

Yes you can guys
flash via ODIN. Download firmware from samfirmware

Surely flashing a different firmware cant change the origin of the phone?

Be careful, your warranty may not be valid if the phones from a different country >. <

[Q] Buying S4 @ Samsung Store UK-Which FW is inside?

Hi Folks,
If i buy a S4 in a SAMSUNG Store in the UK (London) - will the Firmware/ROM will be completely unbranded?
which 3 letters denotes such Firmware? i.e 9505XX***? will i get OTA updates even if i'm not in London later on ?
Will such a Firmware have the option to add a Hebrew keyboard and input ?
is it part of the original OS or SAMSUNG remove it for the UK market?
thanks
Thanks

Well i'm looking for a Samsung official firmware that can be updated from Samsung like any other.
i dont want root or custom it. i just want something similar to what i get from an iOS experience. Official updates by samsung to device
as far as i get it the updates for S4 are controlled by the Operators, if i buy at the samsung store will i get updates which are not controlled by the operators. We know that operators do not release updates quickly and its annoying.
Here in .IL the i9505 is not the official phone - here its the i9500 and no lte. the i9505 is being sold here non official yet with a customized firmware that translated the TW to hebrew (YUCK) which is made by someone unknown - no idea how i can put a Samsung official (English firmware) that will get me updates, and will also support allow to install the built in hebrew input keyboard. no need for a hebrew gui.
any ideas?
thanks

i bought 2 from handtec uk store (black and white)and i recieved different versions.. the white was I9505OXXAMDB BTU & the black one was from Poland i think, cant remember but was strange language on the box !!

Thanks a lot Odia !
I have two options - but an i9500 Octa core here with no LTE (LTE will be here in 1-2 years) or the i9505 in London.
What do you guys recommend? the i9505 as far as i see is not that bad and will support future LTE here while the i9500 will be hard to get rid off as everyone will want an LTE phone then...
Thanks guys !

best place to buy unadulterated S4 is amazon... make sure you buy from amazon not from third party sellers selling in amazon... I would get the LTE version if you want LTE.

N910U Hong Kong vs N910C Poland (question about firmware updates)

Over the years, I noticed that the firmware for the market to hong kong always remain a step backwards compared to those for the European market, in particular for Poland. Also for the Notes 4, the European market has got the firmware version ANJ4 while Hong Kong still have version ANJ3.
For these reasons I have not yet taken the N910U. I'm wrong?

Up!

For Note 10.1 updates for Polish firmware were always first or close to being first - at least in the beginnnng - (I have a theory that Samsung was using us as beta-testers ). But I don't know if it's true for other Samsung devices. Also there seems to be a big mess on our market with Note 4 - we can choose from versions C, U and F in different stores - but no store is 100% sure if we will get the version they state. There might be differences in times of updates for those various versions for Polish market too.... I chose C, but am not sure what I will get, really (it seems to be most available though, only one store had U).

Thank you Magnesus! Can you say me where can I buy the sm-n910c(an online store with paypal)? I'm in Italy.

I don't know, Polish stores usually don't ship abroad I think and no PayPal support. I bought mine at vobis.pl. We have quite high prices too so I wouldn't recommend buying from Poland.

Yes the prices are very high ,I have seen them here: http://geizhals.eu/samsung-galaxy-note-4-n910c-schwarz-a1161556.html
Still thanks!
Regards

i have the N910U one..and as u can see in sammobile N910U and N910C are up to date till now ..so i think samsung will make all equal from now on i think?
and i checked it N910U build date is 6th october, and N910C in 8th october..

Not all of them, Hong Kong variant differ from Poland variant: NJ3 < NJ4

if u consider N910U get the New Zealand one then..

You will be able to flash NZ firmware on HK version as they are both N910U. I've ordered mine and should be here early next week.

I wouldn't have a clue as I haven't even looked at NJ3. Don't hold your breath with the changelog, Samsung never say whats changed. All you can go on is the change list in build.prop.
NJ4 has this ro.build.changelist=2816635. Whats NJ3 say?

Yes, but I'm in Europe(Italy). With Poland rom I have always found italian language on all items, settings menu, keyboard, etc .. Instead, with my old galaxy s4 Exynos(for Asiatic market) one time I had flashed another rom(more updated) but the keyboard and some voices of the menu was in Korean/Chinese, no italian and no English. In another words, with Poland rom I'm (almost)sure that the language fit my needed.
