Wait for the official Lollipop at your region.
You can download it from www.sammobile.com/firmwares if you know how to flash your device with Odin.
Thanks you for the answer

take the opportunity to go for a custom rom, you'll most probably never want to miss that again. that's how you can make your phone function the way you like, much faster and with much better battery life etc. i did that once many years ago and never had my phone unrooted stock for longer than half a day from unpacking it
Thanks you for the answer

possibly brazil ....if you do want ics just flash it...odin and the new open germany rom... i have 3 notes... (black) uae, (white) spain, and (pink) france... all are running open germany ics.. its a stock rom so its not going to take away your warranty... if you flash...just follow the directions and all will be fine... if youre unsure...ask before you flash...
if i flash it to the German ROM, will i be able to get OTA updates like i bought the phone NEW ? or i have to do everything manually ? and do i have to root my phone?
Bump ! please i need to know ASAP as i want to change the ROM of my Note...

i have this build :GINGERBREAD.UBKK2 and Model number GT-N7000 and baseband version s : N7000Ubkk1.
What kernel did your note come with?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
I have the same exact thing like you, and kernel version its : [email protected] #2
They are selling the same Note in Bermuda with the same firmware GINGERBREAD.UBKK2 and Model number GT-N7000 and baseband version s : N7000Ubkk1 Kernel [email protected] #2
Just upgraded from my trusty old Galaxy s i9000 (which I must have flashed over a 100 times in the last two years!) Only had the note a few days, with a Ballistic case I can almost use it with one hand lol!
I miss my ICS rooted phone, I will wait for the official update at least until the warranty to expires. I jumped in and did a plain root last night though, at least the market is open.......
Kies reports as PDA:KK2 / PHONE:KK1 / CSC:KK2 (TTT)
so do you think my stock ROM is good or the EU one is better ?
I flashed Open Europe LC1 GB and then ICS LPY, but with the bricking issues, im back to LC1 safely.

My experience, two galaxy's GT9000T One I rooted and flashed modded bricked and basically kicked the crap out of it......still works great, I gave it to my youngest daughter. My other one was left untouched, Kies still updates all the official roms on it and it to still works great, but no ICS...
With this warning....

And having just forked out almost $700.00 bucks for a Note, (2 year contract) I think I can wait a little bit longer for the official release!
i am not going to flash to the ICS, i just want to know if my stock Brazil ROM is good or the EUROPE is good ?
Not much of a difference. Battery is about the same.

Hello, Im new to this forum and hope not violating any rules..
I just bought Galaxy S4 i9500 and has stock 4.2.2 installed. Cant update to kitkat neither with settings, nor with KIES 2.6/3.
Kies 2.6 says " Your Device's Current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies. " (see attch)
I'm total newbie with these CSC codes and nor googling helped me out with all my questions:
How to make CSC and phone sales codes match safely without flashing official rom?
I bought AFR version S4 designed for Kenya in republic of Georgia (Asia/Europe). There is no firmware designed for Georgia. So does this mean I will never be able to obtain updates OTA or via Kies?
Phone INFO and such apps didnt work coz it couldnt find "preconfig" file.. Does this mean flashing is the only way? Which websites are good for official stock firmwares?

My BB number is : I9500XXUBMG9
Here is my question..
1) Will this baseband region phone ever receive OTA update?
2) if NOT, then should i use services that samfirmware.com offers?
if YES, then can i install official firmware originally created for another baseband? For example can i use Russian I9500XXUGNG3 kitkat on my I9500XXUBMG9 ?
Doesnt it void waranty?
What are the risks of bricking? i mean basebands differ from each other, isnt that problem?
Also Im dissapointed with 2G call voice, sometimes i barely hear caller.. Can this be Baseband problem? I think this bmg9 baseband was originally for IRAQ carriers and im here in Georgia, which doesnt have specific baseband i guess...
I would be extremely grateful to those who answer me in this hard time ^^

Hi mate ,
First thing if you are in 4.2.2 is a shame to upgrade the bootloader..is Knox free
Your official updates most like it are blocked because you do not have the right CSC , download a nice little app from the market call PHONE INFO there it will tell you what your CSC is , this app can also change your CSC as long as it is available in the rom ( if you do backup first changing the CSC will do a factory reset)
Regarding your questions
1 OTA are CSC dependent
2 Samfirmware is good , and reliable you can go that way also
Second part of your questions
1 you can flash firmware for other countries , that is not a problem , BUT you may have problem with what languages are available , specific country services may not be available , no OTA
2 As long as you only flash stock rom (odin) you will not void the warranty
3 Briking is always a risk but when flashing not for different basebands
4 Maybe , for sure the right baseband would help

Alrighty. I dw-ed two apps, both named Phone Info. I just have a questions:
If I change CSC code to USA will I get OTA updates as soon as USA citizens get it? Doesnt it depend that im outside of USA?
Is there any cons for changing CSC?
My country, is not listed in CSC codes.. Is there a way i can always get OTA updates?

Hi,
A knox free bootloader is important if warranty some how is important for you , other wise there are the same
Regarding your first set of questions
1 Not an expert on kies but as long as all the csc inpho match it should , unless there is an issue with kies registration or IP
2 CSC give you country specifics network set ups , differnt countries have different set ups , fastdormancy , special services.......
3 you need to flash a stock rom from your country or region
Yes flashing firmware may change the csc code.

I have just bought the device and iam afraid from making mistak and breakdown the device
Answer to your question is NO .
Hi all !
I'm here cause i really need your help and to be honest everything i've found on web so far, is telling totally the opposite things so i'm lost.
Let me explain a ltl, i purchased a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos/Dual Sim black version (SM-G935FD).
Actually i'm from France ( and i was travelling to Serbia for work, and broke my Note 4 )... The problem is i can't do any update from the phone "Registration Failed" when i click on it.
So after few hours on google, looks like the updates simply doesn't work cause i'm moving France - Serbia ... and the phone seems to be imported from Vietnam.
...
first of all, do you think this update problem is realy linked to this ?
second, i was searching on SAMMOBILE for SM-G935FD to try to put a French Firmware with odin (i don't even know if i can do such a thing without ****ing it up ?)... and on this model all i could find are countries from ASIA.
when i type *#1234# in call i get this :
AP : G935FXXU1BPJG
CP : G935FXXU1BPJG
CSC : G935FOXE1BPH1 (i'm not sure if its a O or a 0 ... the letter or the number :-/)
Model : SM-G935FD
in the Software Infos (in settings) i got this :
Android Version : 6.0.1
BaseBand Version : G935FXXU1BPJG
Kernel Version : 3.18.14-9519568
Version Number : MMB29K.G935FXXU1BPJG
...
please guys i spent a lot of money (in hurry) for this phone, and i'm scared that i got ****ed by the vendor...
if anyone here knows something and can help me... would mean a lot...
Thanks in advance for any kind of help guys.
please guys... if someone got any answer... would mean a lot...
as well if u need any information that can help you answer me feel free to ask...
thanks again.
No need to worry INAX93,
Firmware for 935F will work on 935-FD
Please go to the link below (external link)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/115870/G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FOXA1BPL2_XEF/
You can download this firmware and flash it using Odin_3.12.3 in the download mode by pressing volume down+home+power key when ur phone is switched off and selecting the correct files (the firmware package contains 4 files, hence you need to select the correct slot) and you should be good to go with latest firmware for France...
Hope this helps...

Thank you a million times! And yes it bhelps a lot!
I feel a lot better just with the hope your reply gave me!
So you are sure that i can go with this french firmware and will not get any trouble right? (cause the thing is that i'm not able to even find on Sammobile the firmware i currently have, and looks like its impossible to save from the device without rooting...)
I see a lot of people getring troubles with some functions not working...
And the last thing do you think the "registration failed" that i get when i click on manual update in the phone settings is linked to my location? (not being in Vietnam?)
Thanks a lot again!
Hello, french too, flashed Orange ROM for g935F on my brand new g935FD, everything OK.

Merry Christmas to all of you guys! And thanks again for your help and kindness!
I use the ZTO 935F firmware on my 935FD with no problems, works without problems.
Dont worry INAX93 this is a confirmed official download of the French firmware. Dont worry it wont trip knox if done correctly and also your phone will be restored to french firmware without any trouble. I have done similar attempts of flashing official G935F firmware on my G935-FD without any problems am able to update and knox warranty also intact. So go ahead and wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year....
---------- Post added at 03:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------
Registration will also succeed INAX93 so dont you worry...just go ahead and flash the firmware....cheers....
Hi guys !
I just wanted to thank you all one more time ! with your help i did it ! now my phone (SM-G935FD) is with his French XEF firmware !
So thanks a lot to all of you for your help !
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all of you !
Hi dear experts !
Hope all of you guys are going well, that the new year brought only positive things to you and your family !
I'm back in this thread cause I need your help one more time... everything was well until approx 6 months ago maybe a ltl more... maybe when the 7.0 version went out...
Actually that's when I faced the problem cause i bought a Gear S3 Frontier... I started having troubles with notifications mostly, they were delayed (sometimes for 3-4 hours !)...
While doing a lot of tests in all ways... i found that when i uninstalled all the updates linked to the "Google" app, or disabling it... it solved the problem... Then 6-7 months later i got pissed of cause i wanted to use some of the Google Now features... So i started searching again... after all kind of tests, i finally found that the problem also get solved when my Bluetooth is OFF... When it's set to off i can have the last update for the Google app and everything works fine...
So as i discovered that, i started thinking... maybe the only problem i have actually is a problem with my Bluetooth... as it started 6-7 months ago, 7.0 Version, Gear S3... the point is I started using the Bluetooth before (for my car) and it was always on... but maybe all mixed together... the Google app updates, the 7.0 Version and the Gear S3 king od bluetooth use... is not mixing well... or i don't know...
then i remembered that i flashed my S7 Edge (g935FD) from Vietnam with a firmware from France (g935F)... and maybe i did something incorrect while flashing that led to some Bluetooth troubles that i just discovered... (i had some problems with bluetooth before, like reconnecting randomly to a bluetooth device even if i disconnected it or things like that... )...
So i started searching and find out that there is actually few different way of flashing it, using odin... and i was unable to find a clear explanation of the differencies to be able to understand what i need to do to flash my phone again and in the best conditions.
There is people saying that a bad way of flashing can lead to bluetooth issues (and other things even worse but ok...), so if someone here can explain me, how can i manage to do it the best way... it would mean a lot...
differences between CSC and Home_CSC for example ? then some people are saying "check the re-partition" others say that you must avoid that... how do I know what is the best to do ?
then a lot of them are talking about CSC codes ?
I hope someone will have answers, i want to try to flash it again to try to solve this problem, without bricking it, and also without triggering the knox thing...
thanks in advance for help again...
Ps : the problem i was talking about is :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/s7-edge-notification-delay-problems-t3635161
or even :
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...and-Answers/Delayed-notifications/td-p/114947
no one ? please guys...
still no one to help ?
guys i need just to know if it may solve my problem to flash my phone...
i need to know if i need to check the "re-partition" thing in Odin... somewhere they say "you must check it if you are changing the CSC" and other say "You must avoid checking this unless you have a Pit file" ...
So what is the correct thing to do ?

Your original CSC ought to be XSG(UAE). Nevertheless, since you've flashed the SLK firmware, there is no need of worry. By the way, you may not be getting new update since the firmware might be already latest, as last update to Sri Lankan firmware arrived way back in January. Just see the attachment.

Thanks for the help. Will I get be able to get the updates if I flash the UAE rom?
SLK firmware is fulled with bloatware and I am not planning to root my phone again.

You'll get updates, provided Samsung releases a new one in the UAE region. Which I think won't probably happen as Galaxy J5's two year support period is nearly over.
Nevertheless, I'd recommend you to change the CSC to INS(INDIA) by dialing *#272*imei 1# on your phone dialer and then choosing INS as the Sales code. Keep in mind that by doing so your device'll reboot and wipe all the datas.
As far as I know, J500F used to get more frequent updates in India than any other country.
Tnx.
Hi
Which android version do you have?
J5 is not getting many updates.After the 6.0.1 update there may not be anymore.
Plus if your phone is not official then it wont get any more updates.
