I have been waiting for 5.0 update for months, and I don't even understand why samsung releases so many version of Note 4.
Now, there are so many 5.0/5.01 ROMs for N910F, but none for N910G, seems it will take forever.
I'm sooooooo regret that I got this phone from local phone campany, I should got it from online shop to get a popluar version.
It looks like the N910G version is only for the Australian market. And Samsung just forgets it.

hey there~
I'm not so sure whether it will work
because Im trying to put SM-N910S firmware onto SM-N910L device
and it hasnt been working for 4 moths...
plz let me know if yours worked
Hi everyone. I know that this question has probably been asked before and there are perhaps a few threads on the same topic so I apologize if this seems repetitive.
I have an unlocked Note 4 the 910C (Exynos 5 Octa) and I have been checking for the Lollipop update - but every time I do it says my software is up to date (KitKat 4.4.4). I am using the device in the United States on T-Mobile Network. This is my first unlocked device.
I know Lollipop has pushed out to 910C devices but I am confused as to which one I should download. There are updates from Poland, Asia and so on. I have tried Kies and through there it also says my device is up to date. With so many different variants it becomes confusing. So I don't know if it hasn't been pushed out yet or if I have to do it manually.
Any help is appreciated and once again thanks for your patience with a relatively newbie member such as myself.

Install app samsung phone info from play store & check your csc, there is tool in this app for checking latest firmware for region of your phone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
Thank you so much for this. I was able to determine my device is Malaysia SM-N910CZDEXME (Made in Vietnam) and I believe there is Lollipop in the Firmware tool. Much appreciated as I would have never figured this out!

My n910c exynos 5 octa core is xme malaysian carrier and i still have not receive any sort of update. Just today my siblings using n910f got another update of 84mb after 5.1.1. It breaks my heart to write that samsung is really not treating their customers how they should. I do not want to take any chances to brick my phone using odin or other methods of rooting. But certainly ask for insights from the senior members what should i do now? And certainly i am not expecting marshmallow too. Since i doubt all the carriers will get it. Articles from the internet tells me samsung is already working for n910f marshmallow. What about the n910c exynos 5 octa core? Will we ever get any sort of advantage to boost our 64 bit cores to it's potential?

No still running stock 4.4.4 Kitkat ?
KitKat is better than Lollipop. Trust me.
Yeah but still you know when your siblings brag about their mighty snapdragon you want to show off too.. plus why won't exynos get it?

Here you go.. Scroll down to see the "S4 Family"
http://samsung.youmobile.org/
Would be nice to see an actual quote of Samsung UK's response.
As i already have said ,it's totaly wrong ! no official Lollipop for S4-mini ......
Samsung have said that it's an internal memory limitation .... 8 Go is not enought !
They don't want to do effort !!! ......... and with ALL of theirs "bloats" ,it's not surprising .. pffff !!!!!
That's why the only way is to have an "unofficial" Lollipop exploit with "S6 lollipop preject" team ( ....or maybe with ploiki's team !!! :fingers-crossed: ) that's a big challenge !!!
!!!! Forget Samsung's poor development ! think "XDA" the best !!!!!!!

Samsung uk did not convey message to public.
But they do communicate with carriers as to their approval of the "bloat" on part of carrier.
ThreeUK said their version of lollipop failed testing and concluded there won't be lp due to mem limits.
But ThreeIreland said their software was approved and seeding will begin shortly.
That is the summary. But usually no carrier gives more details about discussions with oems

it all seems very confusing. One carrier says they will release a Lollipop update, another says they cannot. A response from Samsung regarding an official Lollipop update for the international models has not been published yet but if a carrier decided to update theirs and it was possible, then we may just see an official update from Samsung.

A carrier ?! no ,i don't think at all ...
If there are no development of "Lollipop" firmware source-base released (and decided ! ) by the manufacturer , a mobil operator can't ask for this Lollipop version because it need "new" work .
they are only interrested by the "money" ! they prefer to seel new devices..... that offert "good" support for a long period ...
An example n December 2014 when they have come out these "gear watches" ,they have updated very quickly on "very" short period many modems and firmwares for compatibilty for many devices ( our S4-mini with modem ****UCNK1 and superior ) ......just for cell !!!
BUT we never have had KK 4.4.4 ..... and no effort for to include news features of S5 S5-mini /note4 ....

All s4 mini models have same chipsets. So ground work will be identical for all models. The UI and prebuilt apps will be same too. All they need to do is to make other essentials like RIL, multi-sim, nfc etc which differ between models. Also all s4 minis have 1.5gb ram.
So if samsung works on lollipop they will consider 2 important things. 1.Difficulty 2.Demand.
Demand is plenty. Difficulty is more in case of carrier branded models. It is relatively hassle free with international models. If one carrier confirms the update
[which they did], then international models will get it too.

I agree with you, normally Samsung announces the update and not the carriers. Would surprise me if Samsung has changed it's update policy.

youmobile contacted samsung and the update will be there for our device.but samsung dont write a exact time for the release so be patience just a few weeks and the update will be her
A major confusion happened yesterday when UK
branch of "Three" carrier tweeted that the Galaxy S4
mini will not be getting Android 5.0 Lollipop update due
to Memory limitation, after few hours "ThreeIreland"
branch tweeted that the S4 mini update is approved
and passed the testing process.
Today, we reached out to Samsung to get a clearance
about this. Low-end and mid-range users are NOT
forgotten by Samsung, the Korean giant is working hard
to bring Lollipop love to as many devices as possible,
but time is tight (posted by youmobile)
Would be nice to have multiple, more known sources. Again I hope 5.0.1 will come, but "wait a couple of weeks" is a bit too vague.
Three ireland said to me that s4 mini lollipop cancelled for them.
================
Samsung Information is accurate, only unlocked version will get the update.

so we will have the update for all s4 mini i9195/90/92
Wait, official will get and carriers no?
If Samsung will release LP for S4 Mini, all carriers will got it!, no only GENERIC version.
Ofc, It's only my opinion.
hi.
i have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T231 8GB, Wi-Fi + 4G UK tablet. it is routed and has no sim lock.
it works fine for phone calls. and general activity BUT its on kitkat 4.4.2
i dont use mobile devices much but one thing i do use them for is discord video to test that my stream is acceptable.
the discord i was able to install from apk mirror does not have video support in voice channels.
So i want to update to lolipop.
I have checked the internet and its quite a mix of info.
i have found that some of these tablets did get a update to lolipop in other countries.
others only recived them if they had a specific version..
so i dont want to update and lose my phone call ability or possibly worse.
So i figured i would check with the good people here first.
this is a 7 inch sm-t231 galaxy tab 4, from the uk currently running a 3 sim. (but is its unlocked)
is there an actual path to update it to update it to lolipop or am i just out of luck?
[ROM] [KK] [SM-T231/T230/NU] + Android 5.0 Lollipop Material Design -{Theme}-
Read this thread carefully !! ROM only for Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 Inch This ROM made to give your device full Android Lollipop look (Theme) lol After installing this ROM all you can see is just kitkat theme every where like a kitkat 4.4 ROM but...
forum.xda-developers.com
think thats just a theme. wont help with functionality of the apps that can be installed will it?
also
this quote from the dev makes me think il lose my phone:
i am sorry for all the users that used my ROMs
all my ROMs not detect SIM card at all
What you want is to move from Android 4 to Android 5: that means you want to upgrade existing Android to a higher version what de facto is a complete replacement of Android OS.
yes thats is what i asked..
and you linked a kitkat 4.4 theme, not a actual lolipop rom.
and it also does not support sim cards.. "which was stated as a needed feature"
so what you linked is not at all what is needed.
but still thank you for your time.
i had already searched for and read that entire thread the other day.
i will just assume that it does not exist and carry on using 4.4.2
