I had the S4 for a very short time & read somewhere that if you had a Sim Free UK (BTU) modal you would be last to get the updates & was probably better to flash the German DBT software because they got the updates mush sooner.....
Is this the same policy for our UK Sim Free N3?

hi, I have a french bought S4 non-network specific, I am now back in the uk and using my 3 PAYG sim. Will i have any problems updating to 4.4 when it comes out either over kies or OTA?
i see t-mobile has released the update today but no sign of the generic update yet.
being in the uk will i get the uk release or will i have to flash a local version?

Please tell us the model of the phone, the country, locked /unlocked (also the carrier if locked), any information about the update in your country / information from your personal carrier.In Romania on SMG-935 F unlocked I didn't recieve the update.
The most important countries already received the update such as UK, a part of France and some of Australia.
This thread will help you determinate when your getting the update based on other people's info from your country. Please share your info.

I'm living in North East Asia at the moment and grey imported an S8+ SM-G955F. All looks to be Ok however it's CSC is ATL so I'm getting a few Vodafone apps from Spain. I can use my local SIM but am concerned a little that I'm relying on Vodafone Spain to push out updates? (or because it's unlocked does Samsung do it?)
Could I flash a BTU software version over this? Will I then get updates for BTU going forwards? It would also remove the Vodafone crapware?
Any help would be appreciated!
