Samsung Galaxy S 2.2 update
Posted: 5 hours ago
Hi folks
Thanks a lot for all your patience regarding the Galaxy S froyo update.
Our handset team have been working closely with Samsung regarding this update and future updates and would like to share their news with you.
Our goal is to make the update process smoother and we are working to become the only mobile operator offering FOTA (Firmware over the Air) updates for the Samsung product range. The aim was and still is to have the FOTA update available at some point today. If for reasons outwith our control we are unable to have a FOTA update process fully functioning by close of play today, then we will make the update available for download via Samsung KIES tomorrow (Dec 1st)
Thanks again for all the feedback you've given us through our forums.
Cheers
Barry

I wonder if they are just creating a package for FOTA or sorting out the bugs in the 2.2 update also? Probably just adding all the t-mobile crap
OTA is an interesting choice....
How do they know whether a phone has the T-mobile product code? Does that mean the update will be sent to all the T-mobile Galaxy S phones?
Or what if you originally had a T-mobile product code and now have XEU after using the KIES hack, will T-mobile try to send you the upgrade?
These are probably very simple questions, but I'm new to smartphones

I doubt they even can push it out it looks like another line to me as they said it would be out by the end of november via kies in the first place. There is still no update in kies at the moment
Okay so upon further investigation I came to learn that the phone I purchased is an unlocked unbranded MT7-L09 from Colombia. I have reverted back to the original firmware, which is B120SP04a. My question is there anyone else here with a Mate 7 from Latin America? If so, have you been able to successfully update to the official Lollipop? If so, what firmware were you on and what region did you install Lollipop from?
Any help and advice is GREATLY appreciated!
TIA
P.S. To determine what region my device was from I did the following:
1. In dialer, dial *#*#2846579#*#*
2. Go to ProjectMenu
3. Go to Network Setting
4. Go to Operator and country info
Mine shows Operator Name as hw and Country Name as nla
According to a guide I saw on CarbonTesla these are some of the other regions:
hw/spcseas – Malaysia
unicomelectric/cn – China
hw/meafnaf – Pakistan
mts/by – Belarus
I live in Central America and I upgraded succesfuly using the guides you find here. Used the official EU firmware and works great.

I live in the U.S., but the phone I purchased is from Northern Latin America. Perhaps the phone you have is European. I have tried all the versions available here and none of them work properly. I have installed both the versions from Malaysia and the one from Europe, each has some type of problem when installed or lack functionality. This is because in fact my phone is not from any of those regions. I saw a guide on how to change the Region for the Huawei Honor 4C, but I cannot find anything for the Mate 7, plus it seems a bit risky to change the region.
I saw a video on youtube of a guy in Peru who successfully updated to Lollipop, but the guy is charging and I'm not willing to pay for something I can do myself. I just need a version of Lollipop that has been released for that Region.
Well, sadly, there is no official lollipop release for LA. MT7-L09 is simply an international version and should work on most regions. I flash this rom:
"MT7-L09_Firmware_C900B324_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3".
And upgraded from "Jazz-L09 V100R001C00B137". According to the manual, you can directly upgrade from other KK versions.

Is knuckle snapshot working for you? And did you factory reset before or after updating? Do you still have 5x5 icons available? Can you possibly post the links to the firmwares you used?
Lollipop link
kitkat b137 link
knuckle gestures work... 5x5 work... Only thing missing is being able to change DPI down to 400 which I got used to, working with 420 now.
Ohhhh.... And I did a factory reset after upgrading.
On my phone is showing this:
Operator name:hw
Country name:eu
What it means? I'm still with B137, no OTA for my phone.
Thanks in advance.

@ronnie72... That means that you have the European version. So you can just download the link posted by @Zolocofxp to upgrade to Lollipop. You may also need to download the update_cust.app which is linked here
Hope you get it working. It took me a while to finally get everything up and running properly, but the link above should point you in the right direction.
@Bonnie1977, thanks! I know now to upgrade with "Local update". But why OTA still unavailable??? Strange ....

@ronnie72... I have no idea why no OTA. I live in the U.S., so for me I'll never receive any OTA updates. I just download them from Huawei's site and do the local update.
On my phone is showing this:
Operator name: Claro
Country name: pe
Whats it means?

I think that means you're locked to Claro, which is the Network provider and country seems to be Peru.
Hi, so I got an AT&T Galaxy S10+ (SM-G975U) from the US and it was stuck at Android 10. I can't get any updates so I tried to flash a new firmware into my phone. The problem is, SamMobile doesn't provide AT&T firmwares for SM-G975U but other carriers like T-Mobile and Verizon is available. Can I use firmwares from other carriers for my AT&T phone?
Yes
I need help i own a S10 plus model SM-G975U AT&T variant, it runs android 10 with UI ver 2.5 I cant update the phone through its update options located in settings. I see new Android 12 Update have been released i want to update my phone can someone please tellme what CSC to use ? What PDA to use ? exactly which version of firmware should i install ? i know i am asking like a noob but please i really need some expert advise. P.S i dont know if my phone is unlocked or not ... how to check that either ? Moreover Expert Opinons be communicated to my email address which is: [email protected]
I would advise anyone looking to update not to update beyond Android 11. Android 12 has issues and not just on Samsung devices. You can download Android 11 for all US Variants here.
SM-G975U1_ACG_G975U1UES6GUG1_Android11_Full - FirmwareX

Looking for working link to download G892AUCS5CTI2 for S8 Active (AT&T) SM-G892A. Can't find it with search engines, and can't OTA.
This version supports "*#0011#" and "*#2263#", the other firmware versions (older and newer) that I have flashed have these disabled for some reason, and I need these functions for band locking.
Can some kind person please put this firmware up for download or point me to a working link?
Please and thank you.
Could anyone help me to get the firmware of YB-X90L (yoga book 1st generation android LTE version)
the only place I could find the rom is easy-firmware, but unfortunately it's paid, I didn't have a premium account.
the following rom is what I want:
YB1-X90L_USR_S000155_1609272258_WW06_BP_ROW-flashfiles.zipAlthough it's not "exclusive" but actually it's need pay to download, free account doesn't works.
BTW, could anyone tell me the difference between WW08 and WW06 firmware.
Currently my installed ROM is YB1-X90L_USR_S110085_1710170829_WW08_EP_ROW_SD.zip
the problem I want to resolve is the LTE connect issue with China Telecom , currently version ROM says "no service" with China Telecom SIM card, but actually I know it's support, so I'm wondering if it's resolved by install another rom (WW06 bs WW08)
of course it's should be great if anyone can help to resolve the LTE connect issue by just make some configurations on existing OS.
Many thanks.
BTW: I have see someone else could use China Telecom 4G LTE with X90L model
