I had the S4 for a very short time & read somewhere that if you had a Sim Free UK (BTU) modal you would be last to get the updates & was probably better to flash the German DBT software because they got the updates mush sooner.....
Is this the same policy for our UK Sim Free N3?

Im sure that this subject has probably been covered before but
My galaxy, when plugged into Kies gives me the message that the handset cannot be updated. The versions installed are:
PDA: I9000XXJF4
Phone: I9000XXJF3
CSC: I9000TMUJE6
My question to all of you is, is there an update to this firmware and how do i upgrade. The network provider is T-Mobile UK...
Thanx in advance
No there is no official update from Samsung, we are all waiting for the froyo release. So you cannot update officially until now.
But there are leaked testfirmwares like JPH or the newest JPK. Look at adroid development. There you will find downloads und tutorials to upgrade to these leaked testbuilds.

The latest official 2.1 update is JM1 which has been out since August. I guess T-mobile have not released this update for t-mobile branded phones.
thanks for the replies
I have seen another Galaxy S on T-Mobile UK using the JM1 firmware. The only difference was the purchase point for the handset, mine was direct from a T-Mobile store, the other came from the Carphone Warehouse...
t-star
carphone warehouse handsets are generally sim free with no network restrictions so thats why it will be on JM1 using a firmware released from samsung
Tmobile as of yet have released no new firmwares
A friend of mine has JM5; he hasn't upgraded for sure. Too ..... U know
hi, i ordered my note 3 and it came with btu firmware and i was having problems with play store and internet and google now using the 3g data. (everything was ok on wifi) i noticed that a few people have been having these problems so i decided to try the H3G stock firmware from 3 uk. everything is fine in odin untill it reaches the hidden.img.ext4 and then it fails. any ideas? my original details were: xxubmi7, xxubmi6, oxabmi6.
thank f*** for that, worked when i put the original BTU firmware on. Christ i was chewing the chair! guess i cant put h3g uk firmware on my h3g uk contract phone from www.phones.co.uk
New Question : - the box for my note 3 says European model: this product is only compatible with a sim card issued from a mobile operator within Europe. so if this i a European model then why cant i flash a uk firmware on it when the company i got it from is on a uk h3g 2 year contract?
hi, I have a french bought S4 non-network specific, I am now back in the uk and using my 3 PAYG sim. Will i have any problems updating to 4.4 when it comes out either over kies or OTA?
i see t-mobile has released the update today but no sign of the generic update yet.
being in the uk will i get the uk release or will i have to flash a local version?

Conect it to Kies 3 for confirm your CSC and update ur phone if appears any new firmware. The CSC have 3 letters btw parenthesis. You can take a look this list for know and verify ur firmware: HERE.
yeah, the CSC is MK3 (XEF) France . Bought the phone sim free in france when i was over there for the winter but back in the uk now. will this stop me getting uk updates ?

Hi All
I have a Galaxy s5 900F which is from O2 but now unlocked with code.
my question is if I put a UK stock rom on it
1. will it get the updates from Samsung or I will still have to wait for O2 to release the update i.e. marshmallow?
2. will it debrand the phone and not counted as "rooted"?
Kind regards.
1. not sure
2. probably
I've flashed BTU (UK) firmware on a WIN (italian Wind) phone:
1 - I receive official updates both with OTA and Kies3 (for BTU, of course)
2 - Flashing official firmwares not install root, then phone is not counted as rooted, and KNOX Counter not be flagged (remain 0x0)
PAY ATTENTION: flashing firmware (also officials) is considered "modding" and you are temporarily out of warranty (also with KNOX 0x0) until you reflash original branded firmware for your phone, in your case the O2U (not matters which version)
I flashed the stock rom yesterday night and got the 250mb worth security updates from Samsung so I guess yes I should receive all the updates as if it was bought unlocked.
Thanks.
I'm living in North East Asia at the moment and grey imported an S8+ SM-G955F. All looks to be Ok however it's CSC is ATL so I'm getting a few Vodafone apps from Spain. I can use my local SIM but am concerned a little that I'm relying on Vodafone Spain to push out updates? (or because it's unlocked does Samsung do it?)
Could I flash a BTU software version over this? Will I then get updates for BTU going forwards? It would also remove the Vodafone crapware?
Any help would be appreciated!
