I'm in the UK. I keep reading about updates for the galaxy note and a little confused, sorry.
Can somebody tell me if there is an samsung stock update for this phone.
I connect to kies and I'm told that it is not recognised by kies for a update via kies.
Ota just fires back no updates available.
My current software is still at android 2.3.5 baseband version n7000xxkj4.
Thanks.

Is that your default, un rooted, un changed OS?
Yes, straight out of the box. No rooting etc.

Update-I have just read about changing the code from KOR to XEU which i did.
It then notified me of an update, it will download the update package but not install.
Any ideas.
Thanks

Just to say that this worked for me too on a UK Handtec Note (polish) that shipped with the CSC set to KOR.
XEU, XEO did not allow the downloaded update to be applied and it refused to update via kies 'not supported' message.
CSC Set to DBT still did not allow OTA update, but finally the ruddy thing did update through Kies.
For anyone not getting updates (2.3.6, LA4 etc) on their Note, **check the CSC** if it is set to KOR, you will never ever ever get updates for your Note including ICS when it eventually ships.
You can check the CSC easily. Connect the phone to Kies, and the country code (KOR,XEU,DBT etc) is in brackets at the end of the 'Current Firmware Version' line under 'Firmware Information' in Kies.
This whole setup is ridiculous, I have had a moan at Handtec, since they have shipped devices that for any non geeky user (the 99% of folks out there) will never get the latest firmware, and will be forever stuck on Gingerbread.

I also have not gotten update for this reason. Could you please explain how you changed the code from KOR to XEU I can't seem to find how. I have a stock unrooted phone from handtec.
Well I found it!!!
How to change CSC
1. Just type *#272*Device IMEI# at Phone dial pad.
2. Select the CSC that you want.
3. Click Install.
4. Phone will be rebooted by itself.
5. That’s all.
You need to chose XEU for europe/UK
Note: This will wipe all your data so back up first
Make sure to type# after you put in the *#272*imie.

Well I thought it worked but not completely. I did get the phone to show up as a XEU insted of KOR but when the phone started the firmware update it stiops about halfway and gives me this error message "try using PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service center" Tried Kies still says no firmware update available. Can anyone help with this? Thank's
Hi,
If at all possible, could someone post the complete CSC for their 8010 that is running 4.0.4 (If there's any of left that haven't installed a 4.1.1). Im trying to revert back to the Canadian base firmware and cannot for the life of me locate the CSC anywhere on the internet.
Thanks,
Thomas
Hi agin,
I hate to bump my own thread. I'm just trying to figure something out. If any could please post the CSC for this it would be of great help to me.
As it stands I'm trying to figure out a problem I'm having where when I try updating through kies it gives me an error message. It appears my CSC has changed when I installed the German JB 4.1.1. And I have yet to find any indication of what the Canadian CSC may be, on the web.
Now us Canadians are good people, and when another Canadian is in need we help out. I beg of you help me. I've attached a screenshot of what Kies tells me.
Thanks again,
Thomas

JB update is avalaible for Canadians?
Found it!

Yes, I got this tablet directly from Retail in Canada without any modding so it should be stock.
I've only installed ExynosAbuse for rooting, without the Exploit Patch. And BusyBox, Smart Install.
(Those two shouldn't change the CSC and PDA, I assume)
Surprised it has an Australian ROM tho.
Below is the CSC and PDA info from KIES

Like I have said earlier its nearest rom is Australian as I had done an extensive search while trying to help out a member. But did not have a confirmation of the same as I do not have a device and no one owning it could confirm that.

I had seen your post about the Australian Firmware being the closest to the Canadian one. I downloaded the Firmware when I saw this so I'm about to install and hope for the best. Successfully Installed Australian. Just gotta go through the process of restoring everything, will update on progress.
A very grateful thank you to klau1!

Which Firmware? There isn't a available Canadian Firm. The best case scenario wold be some one on the stock Canadian Firmware making an image of their firmware.
Thomas
Would someone please tell me why you need the Canadian csc ?
A reason except "I think I need canadian csc for my canadian note".
Why is the last Taiwan firmware not good for you?
You just select your language at setup and select samsung keyboard english canadian in the settings.

This exactly. If ever something goes wrong with this I would like to have all my bases covered. After installing the Australian ICS I'm happier with the German JB. Also if ever the Canadian JB comes out, which I've read and heard is supposed to be before the end of the month?, I want to be prepared.
Thomas
Don't quote me on this but as long as the firmware you flash is the same as stock you shouldn't have a problem, I read somewhere on the forums that the csc is embeded in the device.might have to go top best buy or futurshop and check out one of the floor models lol

A bit green - but hoping this helps. Just picked up the Note 10.1 8010 yesterday - it is still on 4.0.4 - haven't touched it yet.
Kies shows the following as per your screenshot:
Current firmware version: PDA : LG4 / CSC:LH3 (XAC)
why Samsung Canada is such slow!
Screenshot of CSC bought at Future shop in Canada on January 13, 2013
Thanks everyone for cataloging the Canadian CSC here. I've still had no luck find the Canadian ICS. But have instead Rooted the German 4.1.2 and I'm as happy as can be. Still a little worried about what happens if it needs to go in for Warranty, but I'll deal with that in time.
Thanks,

Will it undo my CF Auto root, that's what I want to know. And if it does, what methods of re-rooting are known to work?
Hi All,
Kies was not succesful so I updated last night from sammobile,
In the first day I was dissapointed with battery life.
I will try to factory reset tonight to check if it will improve.
What is your experience?

hi, im really having problems updating my samsung note 2 lte (n7105)
1st, i tried via kies, it keepson saying " 'gt-n7105' does not support initialising ".
ive tried the debugging mode but i cant find the "application" option in the settings, i only have the "application manager" and it doesn't show the "development" option nor any debugging mode option
2nd i tried the OTA method but 2 days in a row it keeps on saying "access to software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it"
can you help me out guys? i have my note 2 on 4.1.1
Does the new versions of stock remove root and custom recovery? (i made with toolkit).
With new stock firm, I must use toolkit to do everything again?
many thanks
I bought G935FD from Amazon 3 weeks ago- it's unlocked and carrier-free. I've been using it out of the box, no root. Some parts of the box was typed in Arabic indicating it's from/for UAE.
I live in US and have been using MetroPCS (uses T-mobile network). It seems to work flawlessly.
1. Will I get OTA updates? I doubt MetroPCS will do it for this international version from UAE.
2. If above is no, what's the best way to get the latest updates / how do I know my phone has the latest version?
3. What are CSC and PDA?
4. I came across this link: Which country is best for me living in US? Should I continue to use the stock UAE it came with? Any advantage for other countries? (some countries get latest updates faster?)
As for updating FW- a step-by-step guide is appreciated. I've been reading up, and it involves using Odin, but there seems to be tons of different country/region versions for G935FD- and I get concerned about bricking my phone or messing it up.
So many questions.

1. You should get OTA updates. They will come from Samsung and not your carrier.
3. CSC is your region and or carrier code that identifies your Samsung firmware.
4. OJV may not update as often as the other UAE firmware (XSG). A lot of Americans run XSG or Spanish AMO. If ya need help. You can PM me and I'll help get ya sorted.

1. So why XSG or AMO for G935FD users in US over hundreds of other countries? What's makes those two compatible? If I use other countries, what happens to the phone?
2. Which one do you use?
3. This is bit of a different topic, does your phone suffer from Media Server battery drain? Mine does and that's what prompted me to update my phone hoping there's a fix out (deleting/backing up pics help, but it reoccurs)

Most people use those firmwares over others because they support Samsung pay. I personally use AMO because it has the add benefit of wifi calling and and white pages. As for the battery drain issue. You shouldn't be having that issue. I know I don't experience that issue with AMO. It could be a problem that was fixed in a later patch.

That's the correct one. Since you're switching firmwares use the AMO_CSC file rather than the Home_CSC file. That way it'll wipe your phone clean. Make sure youve got security PIN setup because you'll be asked for it after reset. Other than that. Just follow the instructions and it'll be smooth sailing.

Thanks. I'm learning a lot here. Getting ready to do it now. More Qs:
1. So with AMO, I can now use Samsung Pay? Is this the correct version for my phone? I presume this is not available on Google Play because it bypasses Samsung bloat if done through the phone? (if so, I need to manually update this app as new versions get released?)
2. Will wifi calling also work too as MetroPCS supports too right? (it did for my previous phone on MetroPCS)
3. This G935F firmware should work flawlessly despite my phone being G935FD right? I think I read this, just making sure.
4. How does whitepages work- AMO comes with it or do I need to download White Pages app?

You'll need to install the Samsung pay framework and Samsung pay app in that order from APK mirror website. Just read the description for the app before you download to be sure its the US version and it's compatible with the frame work. In order to make white pages work you'll need to enable it from the Phone app settings. G935F works with FD.

Ok, so was looking at this last night. The .zip from samsung updates broke into 4 tar.md5s. Which file goes in which odin slot, and do I need to install all 4?
