[Q] Does the KitKat 4.4.2 update for the Note 3 SM-N9005 restricted to regions ?

Hi all,
I have the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005, currenty running android 4.3, and I am waiting eagerly for the KitKat 4.4.2 update, but I'm afraid that because this specific model is not officialy sold im my country (Israel) and I bought it from abroad, that maybe the KitKat update will not reach my phone here in Israel.
Can someone please tell me if the official Samsung KitKat 4.4.2 update for this model (SM-N9005) is not region restricted, e.g. it has nothing to do with regions, and my phone will be updates via kies anyway ?

You Note will update from the Region that it was bought from, via OTA -- So if you got it from say, Germany, you'll receive German OTA update when it rolls out, same for X Y Z country.
I just did this and flashed the mexican CSC and locked my phone. I think if you keep the right CSC you'll be fine
Thanks

US firmware on Canadian device?

Hello,
Wondering if I can update my girlfriends Canadian S5 (SM-G900W8) with the tmobile 5.1.1 firmware, or another country? The 5.0 update is causing quite a few problems on her phone, wondering if I can use another countries firmware because it will be a cold day in hell before Rogers, Bell or Telus sends out another update.
Thanks!
Yes, you can update it with with another country's firmware.

No upgrades?

I have an unrooted SM-N910G purchased directly from Samsung in Singapore
The last update I received was 5.0.1
N910GDTU1BOC7
3.10.40-5042088
Build LRX22C_N910GDTU1BOF1
I heard that newer versions would be rolled-out, but whenever i have the system check,
it tells me this is the last upgrade.
can someone tell me whether I am doing something wrong?
The roll out for Marshmallow has just recently begun. Some countries have received the update for Marshmallow eariler than some. The speed of the firmware update release depends on where you purchased your device. I am still waiting for the OTA Marshmallow firmware update for my UAE N910C. Just be patient, I'm sure you will get it soon.
No matter what Singapore CSC is selected, all of them got the latest 5.1.1 update in december, 2015:
XSP, MM1

Latest Nougat Firmware - Manual Install (Odin)

Hello folks,
I would like to update my S7 Edge (SM-G935F) to the latest Nougat firmware which if I'm not mistaken arrived UK BTU, which is:
PDA - G935FXXU1DQB3
CSC - G935FOXA1DQB1
I would like to install it via Odin, the most stock way possible (don't want root or custom recovery), just because that I'm tired that it haven't arrived OTA in my country (PT).
But I have a few questions regarding this manually update to the latest firmware of another country:
1) Manually installing the latest update from BTU UK will stop me from receiving future OTA updates? and if no, will I be receiving the OTA updates in the future from UK or PT??
2) My device with the currently firmware has no bloatware from any network (was bought unlocked), if I upgrade to the latest firmware from BTU UK, will I still have no bloatware? (or bloat will be installed?)
3) Will I have any problem from installing a firmware from other country (being both for the same model: SM-G935F)?
Thank you very much in advance! :good:
I have everything ready to make the manual flash, just want to clear this things out before I do it.
Thanks

Each country or region has it's own CSC which can be easily flashed
by itself without the need to odin flash a different country's full firmware.
The only time you need to think about bloatware is if you flash a specific
carrier's firmware like perhaps vodaphone and most other carriers add
their own bloatwares. But if you only flash the regional firmware for your
country or region like BTU UK you will not end up with bloatware.
Good luck and happy flashing!

Future OTA's will not be a problem if you have flashed
the proper CSC for your country before trying to update
future firmwares.

So you are saying that first I should change my CSC to the UK, then flash the latest firmware via Odin and won't have to worry about future updates? Can't I simply flash the latest UK BTU firmware and it will change the CSC and get me the latest firmware in once?

How to get Oreo update in Germany on SM-G935F unlocked from Romania

Hello!
I am from Romania and I own an unlocked SM-G935F. I am currently in Germany for a week, where the Oreo update has oficially been released. Is there any way for me to get it because I am here? Simply going to manual software update does not do the trick.
Doesn't matter that you are in a country where Oreo has been released. Is about your csc code of phone when comes to OTA update. You can flash Oreo via Odin if you want to have it before will be released as ota update
