well if the uk version of jellybean 4.3 is called
XXUEMJ5
then you can download it and install it manually, I do have a link but not sure if im allowed to post it on here
can anybody confirm weather XXUEMJ5 is a uk firmware for the international i9505 versions of the s4, or if this one is just for Germany and russia

i don't know if MJ5 Is open europe but usually its from Germany if i aint wrong,

Unless there is a particular reason one specifically wants a UK rom, the DBT works okay in the UK.
Simply select English-GB or English-UK. I am running this on my UK phone.

That's is always the case with every samsung phone. The Germans are proefkonijnen.

I just got an update today - MH6 - but it still says Android 4.2.2 ?

I want the UK one as I want to keep my mobile how it is form when I bought it all UK,
I mean if I downloaded XXUEMJ5 which I believe is the Germany and Russia one, wouldn't I see anything different form the Germany, Russia and uk version I mean im guessing the update is all just going to be the same but made for each country right.
wouldn't I have any problems with kit kat comes out, like when Samsung releases kitkat in the uk, wouldn't my mobile or kies automatically download me the uk version or would they download the Germany version

N8010XXALH2 Firmware

Hi,
I have been waiting for a new firmware for the WiFi version of Note and one was released yesterday.
You can grab it from here - http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N8010
Cheers
I'm running the N8013 so I'm guessing that wouldnt be for me. Is there actually anything new in it or just the release firmware?
Sent from my awesome Note 10.1
Superb stuff, will give it a go ASAP.
Thanks

Was one released for American wifi version?
Sorry I only found something for the N8010. Isn't the N8013 the same as the European WiFi version anyway?
I flashed N8000 software on my N8010 and it was fine.

ill check the Ota option in settings when I get off. does samsung post the drivers/tools needed for manual flashing of firmware?
Guys where can I find the description and differences N8010, N8013, N8000 please?
Is Note 10.1 3G+WiFi 16GB called N8000?
Interestingly I just fired up kies and the update isn't showing.
Still showing :
PDA: LGC
CSC:LG7 (BTU)
On closer look its a BTU region / Germany update.
I've downloaded both files, and one is a kernel, and but what is the other - its a really small file.

Stay with the BTU ones, the ones from Carrier get updated very very slowly. Even my Carrier didn't receive 3 á 4 updates for i9505.
Ok, but my point being that the carrier ones have received 2/3 updates in the time since my last one, my last one being April...

Of course it works, unless your planning to root.
hmmm, i'm in exactly the same situation. how does flashing work on this phone? do i need to unlock bootloader or anything like that? i don't want to mess about the unlocking things or rooting, i want totally stock though :\

Thanks samersh72, flashed the ME2 stock, all working here.
Ive rooted my SGS5 GT-I9505, un-installed some preinstalled app but now when I try to do an OTA it gives me the error: Your Device is modified, no software update available, Someone answered my question abut it and it seems that I need to install Unroot my phone. Base on the artice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 it says that I need to Flash Carrier Network, My question is do you have stock firmaware for my carrier. Im using Globe (Philippines). How do I do that? Thanks.

[UK] Which stock firmware should I use on my P5110?

I have had CyanogenMod 10.x on my P5110 for a month or so now and I miss Samsung's stock firmware.
According to SamMobile, the latest firmware for "United Kingdom - BTU" is XXCLK7 (4.1.1, dated November 2012). This seems old.
4.1.2 is available when you do not choose "United Kingdom - BTU", but is it wise for me to choose non-UK firmware? Will it be in a foreign language etc.? Are there any specific ones to use if I'm based in the UK or speak English?
You can use anyone but i´ll advice you to use the latest one from Holland (PHN) from here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P5110

Why the latest Holland ROM specifically?
Also, is that ROM in the English language?

Because it is the newest European ROM and yes it is in English. I am using it myself with no issues. Don't forget that 4.2.2 is on its way very soon

Even though Android 4.3 is out? Shame. 4.2.2 came out in February :/
When will stock 4.2.2 be out for the P5110? I know it's out for the Tab 2 7.0 (P3100).

[Q] What is BTU?

Hello.I have a question: What is BTU?In kies, it says the firmware,which is XXUMK8(BTU) and I don't know what it means. I know that MKF and even ML1 are out and I didn't received them. Can this be because of this BTU?Thanks.

Did you successfully flash another country's firmware? As I'm not using Kies, I'm not even sure which country it comes from! I'm a little worried about baseband being different in different countries.
Came across this, which suggests it might not work in the first place: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53721117&postcount=5
I flashed with odin a firmware for g900h from south africa that looked to me it had kinda same csc letters. Worked fine and now i have latest software for my phone. Kies recognise it also. All ok. No problem with modem or basebands or anything. My phone is carrier free so unlocked.

My S5 is also THR, so I looked-up sammobile for firmwares with PDA:NCI, PHONE: NCI and CSC: NCH.
Found Irak and Egypt to match those and both have the NE2 update available. Not sure I'll proceed with this considering some users reported bricked device and had to find the appropriate firmware. What if there are none for this country?
I wonder where to get the original thr firmware also. I flashed as i mentioned and all working great

Flashed MID country, but no unlock setting for s-view case. Not sure I had this option before though? Don't have the s-view case either, maybe that option shows up when the case is there?
that wasn't the case on my GS4, maybe someone can confirm??
same THR csc ... installed russia didn`t work ... it worked with IUS (Mexico) is it fake ?
can't be if it worked with the original samsung firmware....i managed to flash 3 or 4 different firmwares, seems some work better then others. i flashed the June update NE2, works better.

Too late but maybe this is a help for other persons, You can flash: THR, ACR,MID,XSG,PAK,EGY,XFA,AFG,TMC,TUN ; All this firmwares are the same. Install "Phone Info app" to see the codes that you can flash. For Lollipop I have flashed Panama (TPA) and works ok.
