South Africa (XFA)
Hi
I'm in South Africa and it seems we are one of the countries last on the list of firmware updates.
Is it possible to install this chinese version on my XFA CSC tablet and still have everythin in English? I don't mind not receiving official updates in the future. My possible CSC codes does not include CHN.
Thanks in advance

Sure it's possible, but you might not want to. I've heard that there are all sort of restrictions in the Chinese ROMs, such as no Play Store

Other options are KEN (Kenya) and XSG (United Arab) on my multi CSC. Would it rather be advisable to change to them? Or do I just wait until an official one comes along

Why not just flash the fimware for Germany or the UK? They will always be first available and most up to date. Here in Cape Town I use German roms on my N8000. Loaded 4.1.1 in early November and 4.1.2 in mid December. Wouldn't even think of waiting for an OTA here!
No issues at all. They even have Afrikaans if you need it and "South African English"!

Hello people, this is the new Germany V20g Marshmallow firmware. It's actually an O2 branded firmware with the security patch of March 1, 2016.
Originally found it from this site.
Just extract it and flash using LGUP.

This version is branded from O2.
You are making people confused.. It is not an official Europe H815 version.
And also security patch is not for May but for March.

## M9+ Supreme Camera Marshmallow Upgrade ##

It seems the M9+ Supreme Camera from Taiwan have received months ago the Marshmallow upgrade, while the ones from Hong Kong are still stuck on Lollipop.
I have contacted HTC and they do not have a date for the latter to start being upgraded, as the lady there replied to me: "We regret to inform you that there is no clear update schedule to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) at the moment."
So, here's a little poll:: if you own this model, have yours been upgraded to Marshmallow already? And where is your phone from (Taiwan or Hong Kong) and where do you live, in case it's been upgraded given the country the phone is actually in?

I have a htc m9 + "Supreme Camera"
HTC_M9px - CID 621
Android 6 - 2.15.709.1
Italy
It goes very well satisfied !!

CID 622 no update yet!
Mine is CID 622 in Brazil and no update yet!

I have M9px Supreme Camera Edition
Hong Kong version CID 622
I am still stuck on Android 5.0.2
Anyone know more about this? I can;t find any updates on Google and will try HTC Hong Kong support soon

Different countries generally have different firmware versions and csc codes.
Region locks too. Also an imported phone may not. fully support all the features of your network.

I got the a205g/ds model which is meant for latin america but has all the bands I need for here in Canada.
I think the Canadian specific model is a205w.
Would be cool to get a thread with a compiled list of all the different versions and the bands / region specific specs associated with them

Ok I think I can use TPA or PCW as they both point to the same firmware and currentyly my active code is TPA. It just threw me
off when I saw 3 different codes like this:
Product Code: SM-A205G
1) Firmware Code: CHO
2) Active Code: TPA
3) Country Code: PANAMA / PA

Wow ... both Sam servers are SOO SLOW ... it will take 9 hours to get the file. Is there any other place to find
the firmware I am looking for ??

I have the A205F. Has anyone gotten the September security patch update? I got the June one but zero news about the September one on my device. American models have already gotten it.

You got the October patch, right? I haven't gotten the August one yet. Or even the September one. I kinda hate Samsung now. I am regretting my decision of buying their phone. Note that in my country, Updates aren't regulated by carriers so Samsung should have sent the update on the first date.

We should genuinely try to contact Samsung and ask what is happening. The rest of the world has been getting consistent updates. The August, September and October patches. Meanwhile, we are still on the July patch. It's horrible. I have been trying to communicate to them and they have been ignoring me.
