Hi
The latest firmware build for EE UK (EVR) (G935FXXU1BPLJ/G935FEVR1BPK5/G935FXXU1BPL1/G935FXXU1BPLJ) was released on SamMobile around Christmas time.....I'm still not getting any update notification via OTA.
I don't know whether or not to wait for the OTA to come through, or just go for an Odin flash.
I was wondering typically, how long does it take for an update to come through over OTA after it goes up on SamMobile?
Has anyone else received the PLJ update on EE over OTA yet?
I think the distribution time differs per carrier.. For me, (T-Mobile NL) the firmware is often available after it being on Sammobile for one day at max. But sometimes carriers only allow a certain amount of people to upgrade per hour/day, not sure why. (maybe to prevent server overload)
I tend to agree with you mate.
I've since found this quite interesting EE article which seems to confirm this
I like the network but their software updates plain suck.

I noticed the same, EE update but not pushed to my handset. I was about to download the firmware and Odin then found a guide that said to use Samsung Smart Switch for Windows. I installed that and although the update was not available to me via OTA through the Smart Switch application I was able to update.

Just bought the SGS a week ago. I reside in Norway and my operator is Telenor (if this is of any importance).
When I got it, the firmware version was (is) I900XXJF3. Seen a lot of talk about other versions, which might or might not require root to install.
Anyways, on my unrooted SGS, I get no updates in Kies (horrible application btw), so I wonder if this is how it's supposed to be, and also when the GPS-fix will be released. Will it be availible automatically from within Kies?

JF3 seems to be the default firmware most people are getting out of the box. So far there are no official firmware updates via Kies, however the website samsung-firmwares have published several newer firmwares which people are using. They do certain things like make the phone run faster/better memory management, bug fixes and some people claim to get better GPS. You can install them using a software called Odin.
From what I have gathered, there will either be some sort of intermediate firmware from Samsung in the near future, or we may not see any official firmwares until the Froyo update possibly in September.
My Galaxy comes with the firmware JF7 and I got mine from hong kong. There are news floating around says that Froyo will comes to the Galaxy S in August for the Korea market, follow by France maybe?

As your phone report that the latest updates have been installed, that means everthing is OK and the phone status is official...
Sometimes some roms available to dowload (for example from Sammobile) could be not available yet in OTA mode. I always flash with Odin, I don't really relay on OTA updates...

okk thanks, just a quick question which country gets the updates first? and which countrys firmware are you running on your device?

Hi
Picked up an S5 after years of iPhones, Which i bought from the three store in the UK.
After installing a few apps i started to get error 24 installing netflix. I didnt fancy doing a factory reset so i routed my phone to use a root browser to remove the temp files which resolved my issue (but of course i still had to do a factory reset) However i didn't realise that android confirms if its official or not and then doesn't receive OTA updates.
I'm not much into messing with releases these days so i downloaded the stock UK firmware (NCE) from sammobile and it now says official after flashing it.
However i notice that there is an OTA update out today (NC2) which i'm not getting when i check for updates (the message says latest update installed).
Is this simply a case of the update not having rolled out to everyone yet or does the update checker use the serial number of my phone to check that it should be on the H3G UK firmware rather than the stock UK firmware? Kies also states the firmware is up to date.
Thanks for any advice

Rather than waiting for ota would I just be as well flashing the new stock uk firmware through Odin?
Historically, I've always rooted immediately and install custom ROMs etc, but I've decided to keep my Edge as nature intended at least for the foreseeable future.
I'm on a 100% stock unrooted Edge on EE in the UK. EE (and UK in general it seems) always seem to be right at the back of the queue with regards to firmware updates, which has prompted me into looking into possibly updating via Odin.
I noticed today that there was a brand new release for UK (BTU) with an even newer build date (29/08/16) and changelist (9113173) compared to most of the other recent builds.
So, I was wondering:
1. Will installing this BTU firmware over my EE (EVR) firmware possibly cause problems?
2. If I am then on BTU csc, will the OTA function then cease to work altogether, or will I then only have updates for BTU?
3. Has anyone on a stock EE edge done this? Be very interested to hear your findings.
Thanks
Hi Guyz
can you help and explain why my device got no updates till now? B126 released few month ago and the B135 followed but i got nothing.
Am i missing something i got the phone from Dubai and live in UK
model is: MHA-L29C185B110
Seems like the sim card region matters
Yes papped is right, your phone region is set to middle East but living in UK will not show your phone to the OTA . changing your region in the "cust" file requires rooted phone and a sound experienced individual.

You can use FunkyHuawei to update to the latest version, if you aren't getting OTA updates. I don't think B135 was released for your version -- it's B126 for the C185, which is currently the latest. You won't have to unlock bootloader, root, or void your warranty to use FunkyHuawei.
Theoretically, I think that you will eventually get OTA updates through Huawei, regardless of region. But since not even eRecovery works on non-Chinese models as of yet, FunkyHuawei's the only option for right now.
