[Q] firmware update

Hello,
I wonder if there is anything different between firmware that release for each region. I got B2 firmware same as a lot of country but why India has C3.
Some country just get B2 recently but india got C3 for couples of month ago.
Anyone know what is exactly diffrent ? Is it because of hardware different example modem or because of some limitation of law in each country which might not allow samsung to include some applications.
Thanks

hey,
The company provides Firmware updates in order to patch or improve minor bugs in current firmware or to improve locale support.
other counties have eg. B2/B3 as they have a flawless running system so they dont need update.
in india there may be few errors in previous firmware, and other thing is, indian firmware contain many locales with different indian languages,
therefore to improve it, indian firmwares get updated!

Today i got an update, it's D1 now.
Indian Firmware

hmm,
the OTA firmware updates which are small (eg. from 7mb to 24mb or a bit higher) in size only contain the changed ver. of CSC branding and few USER un-noticeable changes..

KITKAT
God knows when we will have KITKAT, or not at all !!!!!
When I got the update pop up, I was hopng it was 4.4. but no. just 4.3 again.

We probably wont get kitkat via an OTA update,
this is what "i" think...
because that update would be around size of 1 to 1.5GB in size therefore it would be released through Online servers of samsung or 'Kies' :-/

KitKat wont be coming in so small package. And yeah, it will be available through OTA only
Cos previously i had Note 2 with Android v4.1, so it had received 4.3 update through OTA only, and size was about 700 MB+.

[Q] New update with changelist 27xxxxx or 29xxxxx?

Hi guys.
According to the newly released updates, a wave of OTA updates with new changelists is rolling out. Do you think that we, by any chance, get a new update any soon? Official Samsung website does not state any planned updates.
The latest changelist for most of the regions is 2089850, however, 27xxxxx and 29xxxxx are being released.
Does anyone know if we get the update soon?
I would not really care but I had to reset my phone recently, so I don't know if I should wait.

I was talking about eny european CSC.

Nougat 7.0 announced on TMOUS Stylo 2 Plus - very impressive

Found this and I'm getting a large update (364 MB) as we speak. Not sure if this is it, but even the fact that they plan to go to Nougat is impressive to me to do it so fast and on such a reasonably-priced phone.
EDIT: It wasn't 7 - just the August security update, I think : |

364 MB is Too small for Nougat.
It's a good phone. Not surprised one bit that it's getting 7.0 Nougat. stylo 2 plus just came out this year

That announcement was only for TMOUS - there are some unique features to a T-Mo ROM such as WiFi calling, so Boost would be a completely different story.

L720TVPSCPL1 Update?

What is it? How does it differ from OK1?

Monthly security updates?

Nope,.. has the same date from 2015 which is odd because that's the reason I went through all the trouble of un rooting for the OTA. Even the Android version is the same as well.

speaking of security updates, anyway to update that manually if samsung is too lazy to push it out?

If it's a carrier specific phone then you can't do anything until they release their version of the update.
Their version meaning: Samsung has to release an update, then the carrier takes it and adds their own apps and bloat, test it (prohably) and then release it.
