Not much difference, a little smoother/quicker and the unlock is a little different.

i heard if you update LA5 thru software update, you loose the root and than there is no way to root it again unless you downgrade to lower version and than flash thru odin.

Agree with the above. LB2 is the latest, according to the numbering/naming scheme.

this LA1 is latest for europe
If you have LB1/2, i dont think you need to update, unless you have any problem perticularly in Modem.
b'coz PDA remains same for almost country, some country needs own baseband for better tuning. If you are not satified with modem, you can just update modem rather thn full ROM too.
When LB2 was not out for india, i was using LA4 from germany, i was experiencing call drop, so forced to use modem from old indian ROM.

Just checked my device and it says no update. I'm using the UK Note and haven't had any updates since last year.

He has an UK Note? isn't that Europe?
If the rom is XEU rom isn't that UK rom

just saw the update via Kies...will be updating a bit later.....anyone can list the advantages?

Tried looking for it via OTA, did not find it. Connected via Kies, and did find this upgrade.
All went smoothly - despite using a Mac and running Windows Kies under Parallels. I hope that reassures anyone who was wondering if that route would work - it does, and the note is now running well with XEU LA1.
Comes on faster, launching seems quick and and Go Launcher EX seems smoother.

ralphrmartin, does superuser stay after you upgraded or must you root it again?

Doesn't work for me. Just sits there saying "Connect a Device" even after I have connected my Note. No such problem with the same Mac / Cable / USB Port / Note settings using Parallels and Kies under Windows. YMMV.

how do I / should I update?

hi I'm in Canada with a WiFi note 8010. I've been waiting what feels like forever for this jb update and not sure if there's a better way to update? is there some other way to update? or should I just wait?
also I haven't rooted with the exnyos root, should I do that before or after?

I updated to the german firmware using the odin method described in another thread and it worked great, didnt trip the counter or change the device status. Data and apps were intact. all and all I dont see any reason to not do it.
if you want the canadian release then you can simply install it over top the german one once it becomes available but I doubt that there will be much difference.

You might have to WIPE tho, since the German and Canadian ROMs have different CSCs.
Someone please confirm.

Using ROM's meant for other regions isn't an issue and a good way to get the lastest fixes and updated versions of s/w like S Note. The only reason folks in the U.S. had challenges was because they were using ROMs (N8010) not meant for their h/w (N8013). There's a N8010 4.1.2 ROM that just came out. You should be able to use it with no issues. When the Canadian JB ROM is released just install it (via Odin) over the German ROM and you'll be back to where you would have been anyway while being able to use JB in the mean time.
Here's the newest 4.1.2 N8010 JB ROM...
http://hotfile.com/dl/190513084/ece...GT-N8010-DBT-N8010XXUCMA5-1357980235.zip.html
Here's how to install it using Odin...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048213

Another thing Canadian users should be aware before updating is that, there is NO Official 4.0.4 Stock ROM to fall back to. So if you ever need to send the unit back to the shop (before a Canadian ROM arrives online), you're SOL.
This is on top of whatever issues flashing a ROM with a different CSC might cause.

I have the German rom on my Canadian note as far as I can tell there are absolutely 0 issues with having a different CSC. Although it's true that there is no official 4.04 I'm not very convinced that would be a problem in the event of a return I doubt any of the retailers in Canada would know enough to even check what firmware you have installed.
I can confirm that you do not have to wipe data your system status remains official.
Frankly I'm not even sure that installing an official rom would void the warranty even if it is from another region assuming of course you are installing an 8010 ROM on an 8010 device

Nope you do not need to wipe. The csc doesn't matter as long as u use the rom for the German 8010

No. The only file that's being updated via Odin is the PDA/MD5 file which doesn't affect user settings, apps, or what's stored on the device. Occasionally you'll see a widget break or disappear off the home screen because it’s been superseded by one with newer functionality. That's the only casualty I've experienced in bouncing between ROMs from different regions. You'll also see regionally specific things pop-up. The Italian N8000 ROM had a pasta eating game pre-installed on it. Some things don't work because of regional exclusions like the EU Video Hub knows when it's being used on a non-EU device. Those you can just disable in Application Manager.

thanks for the post! I'm going to try this once my tablet has enough charge, will update you all with the results.
Although, what would happen if no official Canadian JB ROM is released in the future? Just like how there is no official ics rom.

Note 4 SM-N910F Lollipop UK?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone in the UK has received the Lollipop OTA or the update via Kies yet?
I am using a EE Note 4 with the BTU 4.4.4 stock rom (BTU CSC aswell). There hasn't been much news that I've seen since around early january about the Note 4 Lollipop update. If anyone has any input on this, it would be great to hear from you. As you can probably tell, I'm new to XDA. But I feel that the best people to speak to about this stuff are on here
P.S. I'm a techie, so any questions or things to talk about regarding this post I would be more than happy to discuss

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910F/
Check Sammobile for firmware... As of now a Vodafone UK lollipop update exists. You can flash it via Odin and will work fine with an EE handset.

Will it work on my unlocked o2 phone too

If its a 910F it should work.
Just to cover your ass, install TWRP, and make a full Nandroid backup.
First flash TWRP via ODIN and backup.
Then install the firmware.
All the tutorials can be found on this site:

As more and more branded and unbranded Note 4 receive lollipop around the world I find it very difficult to understand why the Note 4 which I bought from the official Samsung Website last November has not received the update.
Has anyone in the UK received the official lollipop update OTA for the unbranded Note 4?
I have just spoken to the UK Samsung support and they said I should get it on 27th April and to phone them if I don't get it.
They said it has been delayed because of bugs but couldn't explain why it has been delayed longer for me compared to most others unless I am getting 5.1 instead of 5.02.

Interesting to see if the come through with that update on that date.

Uk unlocked note 4 user here. They bug reason does not surprise me at all, my other half has a S5 has the lollipop update back in Jan she has regretted it ever since, all sorts of issues with the radio particularly when disconnecting from wifi back to 3/4g she is left without a data connection.
From what I gather the 2 phones use the same if not similar radios.

Hey guys,
I have a UK BTU samsung note 4 unlocked, I.just got the update for lollipop.
Just downloading now.
Hope that helps
It's only 5.0 thought it would of been at least 5.01 not sure I want to install lol

Thanks for posting this! I was unable to update to Lollipop over Wifi/OTA. AT&T was of no help, the Samsung rep at Best Buy just looked confused when I asked if they could flash my phone (He said he'd download the latest version, but didn't think 5.x would be available yet). I had ever used Odin before, but installation was easy, and my phone seems much faster. Battery life seems a little worse tho.

Did you use Titanium to restore your stuff? or just started from scratch both times?

Where did you get files to downgrade from? Many people wanting this update and mine was forced. Hate it. My phone is now sluggish, battery life severely affected and the modem is crap. I can't even send a text message from my house. All these issues were non existent before upgrade.
