3.2 Update in Canada

Any one in Canada received the 3.2 update from Samsung or has it not been released here yet?

I haven't received it yet. Probably not out yet.

Yes, I have, I'm in Gatineau Quebec and it was there last week and again yesterday when I plug into Kies even if I'm on Task 6.1.

what firmware is the update? Android HC 3.2, but what firmware code specifically?
did you do the update or stay with Task?
Kies will not connect for me regardless of what I do -- I have given up on it and will flash using Odin and download using CheckFus or an uploaded firmware and so it would be nice to know what designation is being presented by Kies.

official response from Samsung Canada is that it has not bee released here yet and the 3 different CSR's I have spoken to do not know why it has not been released and when it will be.
Wonder if I use Tunnelbear switched to US and then connect Kies if it will pull the update from Samsung US?

And did you purchase your tab in Canada or the U.S.?
Update not available in kies or OTA here (just checked again)
In case it is not clear in my sig, my tab is stock non-rooted

Im on Task 6.1. I bought it new in the box from a gent from Ottawa and I could'nt tell you where its from as I installed a custom rom first thing when I got home. But all my info and registration including Kies points to Canada. I just assumed that like my Asus Transformer OTA were location based not firmware based. Sorry if this misled anyone.

Unfortunately Tunnel Bear did help get the update.

I am in Canada, and I put the US update on. What would the difference be for Canada?

How? Samsung Canada have not released it yet.

This is what I did, I rooted my tab, then installed the rom from post #115 of this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346227&page=12
I also used the pit file on post #121 of the same thread
using odin. When I plugged in with Kies, it said an update was available.

Granted I purchased my dad's tab in the states, I was able to get the ota for it in Ontario two days ago. His is stock.

Just checked the box its model GTP7510UWR it had software version XXKG6. Inside everything was bilingual so it looks like it was a canadian model, however depending on the rom I had on it, kies may had seen it as a US model. Since I'm on Task 6.1 I don't get the update.

I'm also on a stock tab 10.1 in Ontario and haven't been able to get an update via kies or OTA. Just keep getting the "no update available" message when I check.

I'm following Samsung on twitter, who have said they will tweet when its released. I'd love to know there excuse for not releasing it yet, they'll probably claim the market is too small and therefore the distribution costs are too high......the usual bull**** we get up her for getting screwed over.

Is there something vastly different between the Canadian version and the US version? If not, I don't see why we should wait around until they release it in Canada...

That's why I upgraded

To what, being American? Some would consider that a downgrade!

I just flased the US KMM onto my Canadian version. No issues whatsoever and now I should get any future US updates instead of being stuck in the cold waiting for new Canadian versions.

Could be preparation for ICS, Although that is just a guess.
Anytime i see anything about an update i just keep thinking it's ICS!!
Can't wait for it.

probably the one hand keyboard update

So XLA4 is the big update they're pushing out to everyone?
I was wondering what it was.

Yep, same here ... Mine's an unbranded, unlocked UK note (XEU) and I'm getting nothing through Kies or manual update on the phone. Still on KKA.

I'm in the UK and got the OTA update yesterday. I'm running a German unlocked Note from Expansys UK. Cant see any differences though tbh. :/

Info about the update
Hello guys!
I bought my Galaxy Note in France (I work there).
The PDA/PHONE/CSC are XXKKA/XXKK5/XXKK5.
Build info is Friday 11 Nov...
How is it possible to receive official updates (stock roms) without flashing?
Please do not start telling me to read guides and so on... I worked on Android platform and after this experience I am aware how preparing roms and custom stuff is obviously a great challenge, gives you great satisfaction, but makes the phone be more prone to crashes, memory leaks and so on.
Thank you in advance.

No update for slovakia, orange. just waiting for ICS

patient is a virtue tow weeks. when i bought my xoom, after 6 mounts of delays my daily routine was check for updates , not any more..

I'm sure you were joking but this actually does raise a point that people should take into consideration:
If the phone is bought from the UK but the firmware is German, then it will get German upgrades. If it's bought from amazon.de and has Chinese firmware then it will only get Asian upgrades.
It doesn't matter where you buy the phone from, it matters what country the firmware is directed at. I also own a UK note which has BRI as the sales code and I don't have any update even though I live in Finland.

International Unlocked S3 I9300 Jelly Bean Updates

Hello everyone,
first time poster here, so please be gentle if I missed one of the rules here... I've searched through the threads here but am still somewhat confused.
I have an unlocked, unbranded international edition I9300 coming in the mail shortly. I intend to use it in the United States on the T-Mobile network. It turns out that T-Mobile has 3G coverage in the 1900 MHz band where I live.
Being a complete nub, I would prefer to not root the phone. However, I'm also wondering whether it is possible to install a version of official Jelly Bean on there once I get it through Kies? I've looked at the releases for Poland and Sweden, but they seem to all be branded versions for specific carriers. Would they work for me?
Thank you in advance!

Yes they will work on any i9300 model. However JB for your particular region should be out soon. So, you could just wait and update through KIES to avoid an hassle.

The Polish release is not branded. The Swedish is.
It just so happens I just came back from the states where I used my I9300 with my stock Polish DLIB rom on T-Mobile. Worked great.

Okay, thanks!
If the OS is branded, what differences does it have other than the splash screen at startup? Can these be installed without rooting?
Also - the North American variant is not the quad core i9300. Do you think they will still release an update through Kies to the U.S. for i9300?

The boot animation, some sounds probably, some carrier specific apps and/or games. In this case the telenor release is almost clean from what I read.
The apps you can disable without root, the boot animation you cannot.
If I were you I would go for the newest JB release and wouldn't worry about the branding or the CSC. If another newer release comes around you can just flash it over your existing rom using Odin without losing anything.
The NA versions will most likely receive JB as the Note2 which is about to hit retail in the US is already running it.

im waiting for the official uk update either that or a good working aosp rom

What would be the best JB to work on AT&T for best modem and APN settings. Right now I still have everything stock as I got it last Friday but getting terrible data speeds. This is in an a H+ Coverage area. I have the AT&T branded Red SIII and a international SIII and on the AT&T branded I get 3 to 4 Mbps download, while the international just breaks the 1Mbps download speed.

Who told you that there are carrier specific boot animation or sound in Swedish jelly bean? Apart from one Telenor app there is zero customization in this rom. And even this app can be easily disabled without rooting.

[Needed]CSC for Canadian GT-N8010

Hi,
If at all possible, could someone post the complete CSC for their 8010 that is running 4.0.4 (If there's any of left that haven't installed a 4.1.1). Im trying to revert back to the Canadian base firmware and cannot for the life of me locate the CSC anywhere on the internet.
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi agin,
I hate to bump my own thread. I'm just trying to figure something out. If any could please post the CSC for this it would be of great help to me.
As it stands I'm trying to figure out a problem I'm having where when I try updating through kies it gives me an error message. It appears my CSC has changed when I installed the German JB 4.1.1. And I have yet to find any indication of what the Canadian CSC may be, on the web.
Now us Canadians are good people, and when another Canadian is in need we help out. I beg of you help me. I've attached a screenshot of what Kies tells me.
Thanks again,
Thomas

Yes, I got this tablet directly from Retail in Canada without any modding so it should be stock.
I've only installed ExynosAbuse for rooting, without the Exploit Patch. And BusyBox, Smart Install.

Surprised it has an Australian ROM tho.

Like I have said earlier its nearest rom is Australian as I had done an extensive search while trying to help out a member. But did not have a confirmation of the same as I do not have a device and no one owning it could confirm that.

Which Firmware? There isn't a available Canadian Firm. The best case scenario wold be some one on the stock Canadian Firmware making an image of their firmware.

Would someone please tell me why you need the Canadian csc ?
A reason except "I think I need canadian csc for my canadian note".
Why is the last Taiwan firmware not good for you?
You just select your language at setup and select samsung keyboard english canadian in the settings.

This exactly. If ever something goes wrong with this I would like to have all my bases covered. After installing the Australian ICS I'm happier with the German JB. Also if ever the Canadian JB comes out, which I've read and heard is supposed to be before the end of the month?, I want to be prepared.
Thomas

Don't quote me on this but as long as the firmware you flash is the same as stock you shouldn't have a problem, I read somewhere on the forums that the csc is embeded in the device.might have to go top best buy or futurshop and check out one of the floor models lol

A bit green - but hoping this helps. Just picked up the Note 10.1 8010 yesterday - it is still on 4.0.4 - haven't touched it yet.
Kies shows the following as per your screenshot:
Current firmware version: PDA : LG4 / CSC:LH3 (XAC)

why Samsung Canada is such slow!

Thanks everyone for cataloging the Canadian CSC here. I've still had no luck find the Canadian ICS. But have instead Rooted the German 4.1.2 and I'm as happy as can be. Still a little worried about what happens if it needs to go in for Warranty, but I'll deal with that in time.
Thanks,

how do I / should I update?

also I haven't rooted with the exnyos root, should I do that before or after?

I updated to the german firmware using the odin method described in another thread and it worked great, didnt trip the counter or change the device status. Data and apps were intact. all and all I dont see any reason to not do it.
if you want the canadian release then you can simply install it over top the german one once it becomes available but I doubt that there will be much difference.

You might have to WIPE tho, since the German and Canadian ROMs have different CSCs.
Someone please confirm.

Using ROM's meant for other regions isn't an issue and a good way to get the lastest fixes and updated versions of s/w like S Note. The only reason folks in the U.S. had challenges was because they were using ROMs (N8010) not meant for their h/w (N8013). There's a N8010 4.1.2 ROM that just came out. You should be able to use it with no issues. When the Canadian JB ROM is released just install it (via Odin) over the German ROM and you'll be back to where you would have been anyway while being able to use JB in the mean time.
Here's the newest 4.1.2 N8010 JB ROM...
http://hotfile.com/dl/190513084/ece...GT-N8010-DBT-N8010XXUCMA5-1357980235.zip.html
Here's how to install it using Odin...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048213

Another thing Canadian users should be aware before updating is that, there is NO Official 4.0.4 Stock ROM to fall back to. So if you ever need to send the unit back to the shop (before a Canadian ROM arrives online), you're SOL.
This is on top of whatever issues flashing a ROM with a different CSC might cause.

I have the German rom on my Canadian note as far as I can tell there are absolutely 0 issues with having a different CSC. Although it's true that there is no official 4.04 I'm not very convinced that would be a problem in the event of a return I doubt any of the retailers in Canada would know enough to even check what firmware you have installed.
I can confirm that you do not have to wipe data your system status remains official.
Frankly I'm not even sure that installing an official rom would void the warranty even if it is from another region assuming of course you are installing an 8010 ROM on an 8010 device

No. The only file that's being updated via Odin is the PDA/MD5 file which doesn't affect user settings, apps, or what's stored on the device. Occasionally you'll see a widget break or disappear off the home screen because it’s been superseded by one with newer functionality. That's the only casualty I've experienced in bouncing between ROMs from different regions. You'll also see regionally specific things pop-up. The Italian N8000 ROM had a pasta eating game pre-installed on it. Some things don't work because of regional exclusions like the EU Video Hub knows when it's being used on a non-EU device. Those you can just disable in Application Manager.
