I am on build number KKA which is the latest build available OTA to me in the UK. Is the build in the article later than that?

i think its the new kies update mentioned on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21578328#post21578328
look at the photos of the before and after mentioned in the article http://www.theunwired.net/?item=enh...ance-release-for-the-samsung-galaxy-note&6088 and you will see its the kies update i got last night.
ps: i got the torch widget mentioned in the article as it is useful for me

All those changes where introduced in the XXKL7 Update

I am on unlocked Galaxy Note (bought in Austria), using it in Finland (Elisa operator, if it matters). Showing GINGERBREAD.XXKKA build number. And both Kies on PC and update attempt through phone settings menu says no updates available.
And I don't have those new features. How come? How to get the update??
(Preferably "the supported way" without messing with roms?)

I would not worry too quickly and wait a few days before investing more time into it.
These updates are rolled out over a certain period of time (a week or two is my impression), not every phone gets the update at the exact same time/day.
In fact I checked two days ago as well as Yesterday without being prompted that the new update was available. And just now when checking again it told me I could install the update (which I will do so when I am back home with WiFi).
So patience is probably all you need

I'm on the KKA build as well. Unlocked Note bought through The OEM Shop on Amazon.com with a product code of XEN (Netherlands). From the stock ROMs thread in the development forum, there hasn't been an update for the XEN Notes since November. I'd guess we'll be seeing the update reasonably soon.

KKA:
K=2011
K=11 > November
A=10th build in Nov.11
LA4:
L=2012
A=01 > Jan
4=4th build in Jan.12
So KKA is really old!
I strongly recommend to use at least LA1 or LA3 to have good performance!

LA1 LA3 are with XEU csc
LA4 is with DBT csc
Lets say your csc is XEU aka Europe. And your csc is a multilingual one you could pick DBT update via kies to xxla4 and again go back to XEU after that. But because the xxla4 is a nonwipe update don't expect not to loose your data because on each change of XEU to DBT and back phone does hard reset it's self.
So Carefull if you Make a mistake and you change your csc with this code IT WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA except sd card.

So even though my product code is XEN, can I flash the DBT LA4 non-wipe ROM through Odin? Or will it fail since the CSC codes don't match? I have Odin and the .tar file extracted, I'm just hesitant to try it. Thanks.

Why is the news suddenly picking up on this?
It's XKL7 folks, which is 3 weeks old.
See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412959
Is this the most recent firmware to be pushed OTA or something?
Anyone upgrading should go to LA3/LA4 though - there was quite a bit of improvement speedwise from LA1 to LA3.

Im in uk on an unlocked note and mine says no update available.
Im on LB2.
So would this be because i have the indian rom installed, ie, do i have to have a uk rom installed to get a uk update??

Possibly, but LB2 is presumably also later than LA4 (LB2 = February 2012 v2; LA4 = January 2012 v4)

There's no 'presumably' about it, LB Roms are newer than LA6.
Anyway, N7000XXLA6 could've been downloaded and flashed from XDA ages ago.

What software were you on before the update? I'm in the UK and from *#1234# my Note is on:
PDA: N7000XXKKA
PHONE: N7000XXKK5
CSC: N7000CPWKK3
No update available either OTA or via Kies.

I had same version before Kies update. Reboot both phone and PC. Start Kies first. Connect phone.

Did you have the CPW (Carphone Warehouse) CSC? I followed your instructions but Kies still insists I have the latest software. As far as I can tell KKA is indeed the latest software for the CPW CSC.
Why on earth to CPW have their own CSC?

No I didn't have CPW phone. I got mine unlocked via Clove Technology.

if you bought your phone at CPW as i did, then its unlocked, i was on the same firmware, KKA, indeed CPW have not sold locked phones for the last 10 years, so i would think the software would be samsung provided anyway and not thru CPW.

I also got this message this morning, informing me a software update (~ 70mb) is available. It's the first time I have got this message since I got my Note (~4 months ago).
I downloaded the update but it didn't install, probably because I am rooted.
-Is it worth updating?
-What update is it exactly?
-Any differences for those who updated?
I am thinking I should just wait for the official ICS update.

I am Brazilian, but I bought G. Note on my last trip to London. I upgraded, everything was fine, but no difference. The only thing that changed was the home screen. The message: Swipe screen to unlock. Moreover, nothing more. Someone noticed a major change?

OK, unbranded but rooted here.
Same update failed message with update OTA.
Anybody any idea of whats changed with a successful flash?
Is this 'update' worth persuing?

Agent

Just wait for a repackaged release on this forum, it'll be safer.

I know you will be right, +1

The differences I can find is torch widget and qwerty keyboard has numbers on top , making the letters a fraction smaller.

I also got notification via the Samsung updater and it pulled down a 70 Meg file but couldn't install it (I tried twice).
It did work via Kies though, but killed off root.
(I'm still a bit wary about Odin etc. on the Note, although I've only been a Notehead for a few days. I was comfortable with Odin on SGS2.)
A big thanks to Chainfire and Dr. Ketan for their postings here, I'm still a little confused about whether the jig works or not.

[Q] Installing Stock Rom for samsung s4

i bought my phone on amazon.co.uk unlocked and i live in ireland. I have cm11 installed but want stock rom again.
What firmwire do i need if it is unlocked version? I tried looking on samfirmwire.com but all i can find is (black editions)

Go ahead and install the Black Edition firmware. The only difference between the Black Edition and normal I9505 firmwares is that the Black Edition firmware includes some wallpapers and sounds not found in the standard firmware.

thanks for the reply .... should i download the united kingdom one or ireland??

I'd stick with the Ireland version just to keep things simple, though in reality you can install any version as your phone is unlocked. The unbranded firmwares such as the UK Black Edition (CSC BTU) available on Sammobile have multiple CSCs within them, and installing one doesn't necessarily mean you'll get the CSC you expect. For example, I installed the unbranded UK Black Ediiton firmware mentioned and instead of the CSC code of BTU, I got AUT, which is Switzerland. As a result, when the phone started up the first time after installing, I received three Swiss-only apps (foodarena.ch, local.ch, and parku) added to my app drawer. All three are useless to me here in the US, so they were easily uninstalled, as they were not system apps.

The best one is I337UCUEMK2.
It's the last one before 4.4(.2).
But believe me - KitKat is very bogus so i don't like it. (But the wafer with this name is tasty )

@Hannah Stern: He's from Ireland and has an Irish phone. An AT&T I337 ROM isn't going to work for him and may well brick his phone if he successfully installs it. Or worse, he may be stuck with AT&T's locked bootloader and have to send the phone in for service.
I understand you've taken on some sort of holy crusade to fix problems that seemingly only exist for you, as the venomous post you linked to reveals, but do try to actually read the thread instead of spewing out wildly inaccurate information that could cause severe damage to someone else's phone. Would you like to pay the OP for the repair?

at the same thing again, i cant find any downloads for ireland or uk , only to specific carriers. What should i do now? And wheres the best place to download the firmwares

There is no unbranded Ireland ROM, so the closest thing is one of the unbranded UK ROMs. Look here.

Has anybody received the OTA update to Nougat EMUI 5?

If you have received the EMUI 5 OTA what Country, model, build reference (BTV-W09 or BTV-DL09)?

B306

My US 32GB wifi version still got nothing
version is W09C128B003

This was only the build number. The complete version number is like BTV-DL09-C100B303.

Germany, LTE version, BTV-DL09C100B303 received OTA on July 19 ... it was a long wait :good:

I received my new U S m3 model about 2 weeks ago. As soon as I went online it offered the new nougat update. I updated and everything works fine.

Austria here, WiFi version, received BTV-W09C100B302 OTA - anyhow had the 302 version installed wie firmware updater before but this one seems a little newer
Also it started to install some apps I did not had so far (deezer, news republic etc) automatically. Removed them and all is fine.

As I said, before that I used the same version (dont know the custome version) but installed via huawai firmware updater

Thanks. What is interesting for me is that you have the same custom version. Because i read somewhere else that this custc100d002 version won't get an update. Ok, your update path seams to be not standard but there is still hope that i will get an update also...

My device also has version CUSTC100D002. Like I posted above, got it OTA.

I'm in germany and have no OTA Update until now.

Hello to everybody. I bought my M3 with LTE a month or two ago from Amazon DE however I live in Bulgaria(I use UK local settings for the tablet). I'm still at BTV-DL09C100B009 with which it came and I'm not getting any OTA updates. I keep it without SIM because my two cards are in my mobile phone and I don't need one for the tablet in everyday usage. I only use data-only SIM with it when I travel.
Anyway I moved one of my SIM's from my phone to the tablet in the hopes I would get the update and then return it back but still nothing. I even installed the latest HiSuite but even there it says I'm on the latest official build. Am I missing something? Why am I not getting the official update and is there a way to install it manually(FirmwareFinder perhaps? and how to differentiate it from the previous file with the same version)? Also from what version did you receive your updates when they came?
I would appreciate any help.
Best regards,

Telstra Australia Launched SM-G977B S10 5G

I haven't seen this listed anywhere since a search for this model number brings up nothing.
The Australian stock is the model SM-G977B
Its an Exynos version with the old UFS and the model given as part of the free upgrade promo (when you preordered the s10 plus), is a 512GB black variant.
I can't see much development being done for this since obviously no one has this model, but I'd love to be able to root it.
Hopefully more people will get this phone, and some dev can start. If there's anything I can do to get the ball rolling, let me know!

Root
Hey mate, I have already achieved root day one of receiving my device from this offer , I am by no means an advanced developer but technology is my passion. The process was simple due to it being the same process as topjohnwu already published. This is the official page for the instructions by topjohnwu which do work: topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root. If you struggle at any point feel free to reply. I will be posting this in the development threat for others so there aware.
As for TWRP, thats a different story, I have tried flashing TWRP from the s10+ and hoping it would work but it did not which was to be expected. So I am attempting my own build of TWRP by modifying the s10+ TWRP to match the s10 5G. Mind you I have never compiled TWRP or Android. I have mainly tinkered with iOS on apples hardware so no promises I'll figure it out nor that it will be bug-free but if I do manage to find it I'll post it for another developer to maybe check and fix.
But root is definitely possible as of now,
Happy rooting!.

Hwy thanks for that.
Do you still get updates? I've never rooted without a custom rom before?
Also, do you use exposed? Edexposed or virtual exposed? It's the main reason I want to root
Lastly where did u get the boot image from?
Thanks

Hey mate, over the air updates I believe do not work. To update you'd need to download the latest firmware and repatch the ap file. But I haven't done this. There is a forum post somewhere outlining the process though so I'll try and dig that up.
As for the exposed framework I haven't tested that out nor have I used it before but it is something I wanna dive into. The last time I tinkered with Android was years ago where exposed wasn't a big thing. But I have seen users state they've got it running from edxposed or something like that from the magisk add on panel. So I'll give it a try now and report back to you.
As for the firmware I cannot upload any links as I'm a new user. But if you shoot me an email [email protected] I'll be happy to send you the link I personally used.
