Hi
my smartphone is samsung galaxy s4 kitkat version
i bought this in philippines
the firmware of my device is the official from samsung.
now finland has just released lollipop version in samsung galaxy s4
is there a way for me to get that update even if i am in philippines?
is there a way to change my register phone region or something to get that official update?(is this possible?)
I would recommend you to wait for the official samsung update for you region.
If it was released in Finland, then it can't be much longer until it comes to your region.
Just wait a bit longer, I'm sure it will hit your region soon.

Hello guy..im from Malaysia...my samsung galaxy tab 7.7 still 3.2 honeycomb and i still waiting the new firmware ICS 4.0.4 Malaysian Version..Anybody can help me??

I think mine is German version and still have not gotten any updates yet
Hi all,
I have the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005, currenty running android 4.3, and I am waiting eagerly for the KitKat 4.4.2 update, but I'm afraid that because this specific model is not officialy sold im my country (Israel) and I bought it from abroad, that maybe the KitKat update will not reach my phone here in Israel.
Can someone please tell me if the official Samsung KitKat 4.4.2 update for this model (SM-N9005) is not region restricted, e.g. it has nothing to do with regions, and my phone will be updates via kies anyway ?

You Note will update from the Region that it was bought from, via OTA -- So if you got it from say, Germany, you'll receive German OTA update when it rolls out, same for X Y Z country.
I just did this and flashed the mexican CSC and locked my phone. I think if you keep the right CSC you'll be fine
Thanks

thank you
Arnie, you just have to wait!.UK unbranded phones will undoubtedly be last to get it (as usual).
If you cant wait, then get that german or russian one.
I'll be back.....
But isnt i9505XXUFNB9 the international 4.4.2 if so I can manually download that
Have a look here, theres an open europe one in post 2.

I cant say much about it as Im not using it.Just wait for someone to confirm the best option for you, as you could end up with useless crap on your phone (I.e csc related).
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-900H which I want to update to 4.4.2 Released on September. I have chosen the Firmware corresponding to the country (Guatemala) the only thing that is different is the CSC The one that came with the phone is PGU and the one I'm trying to update is TGU.
The question is, would there by any problem updating the phone?? At the moment is very very slow and instead of resetting everything I'm going to update to a newer firmware.
I think, this could create a problem when you'll try to flash a different product code..

I currently own an Australian Optus carrier variant of Galaxy S7 Edge (OPS) and want to install an Australian unlocked variant of Galaxy S7 Edge (XSA) since unlocked variant has recieved 2 updates since its launch but carrier variant has received none..
1. So my question is will this trip my KNOX Warranty and will it disable my Samsung Pay app use?
2. Also, if I install another country's Galaxy S7 Edge firmware that has the same model number, will this trip my KNOX Warranty and disable Samsung Pay Use?
3. Which country (code) receives the fastest new updates for the device SM-G935F?
4. Lastly, can I install a Galaxy S7 Edge firmware with a different model number? I want to try South Korean variant firmware..
You can flash any official Samsung firmware, and it won't trip Knox.
Someone else asked this earlier today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/to-flash-generic-australian-rom-to-t3364559
Also, Samsung Pay isn't in Australia yet, and won't be for some time.
The Aussie carrier devices should get the latest update soon hopefully.

Thank you for your reply. Just one more question! I heard that if a phone is rooted, Samsung Pay app is not usable on that device afterwards so will it be the same for installing the other firmware? I know that Samsung Pay is not yet available in Australia but I would like to use it when it's launched.
Correct. Samsung Pay won't work on a rooted device.
Also, if you root, you will trip Knox. You can't use Samsung Pay on a Knox tripped device.
Even if you go back and flash stock firmware, this will not reverse Knox. This is permanent.
But if you just flash Samsung unbranded firmware over your Optus firmware, this is ok. Samsung Pay will still work.
Just to clear up something else, does your handset need to be unlocked before you can flash another official samsung firmware?
