Anyone has any info on OTA update, outside the zone that landed first? like Europe/USA?
Europe/Greece here.. No
Same Sh1t... Different Day
Europe, The Netherlands.
So far, no update
Thx for the update guys.
Romania/ Europe, so far its silance.
I think it depends for what region the phone is made for. I dont know how you can check that, tho i bought it from my country so it must be for it/eu.
Maybe one week after original APAC update will be enough to release EU, maybe they will work on fixes, who knows...
If they work on fixes, i can wait.
If not, i dont see the point of not realeasing it.
Btw, how you check for what region was your phone made?
Europe France no OTA today
Idem today at me, i think it will take them a while to deploy in Europe..
Htc suspended the OTA much problems with Oreo
Europe Italy no OTA......,IDK when will it lands in Facebook some reporting that users with firmware 1.64.617.17 with dual SIM update is rolling out now
any update guys? i saw an OTA picture in other thread. I dont have more info about it, but maybe he will post.
Nothing here in Bulgaria. My phone is imported from UK.
How can you check from where / for what region is your phone for? if anyone knows.
You can check here with imei number:

How come I have not received an update ota yet. I am unlocked but with ee.
a look on samfirmware.com shows that EE haven't released their firmware yet, I've seen vodafone, O2 and unbranded so far.

Id read a few threads about the lollipop update before jumping in, I wish I'd waited now
Are there problems with it then. If the phone is unlocked can I use unbranded
Of course you can use the unbranded rom on a unlocked phone.
In fact you can use the unbranded rom on a locked phone.
Got it yesterday . It's nice
Had it for a few days and I wish I could write some positive words but unfortunately that's not the case. Lag and battery drain have been my two main issues. I wish I had waited
Hi guys.
Long time lurker. First time poster.
How can I see what region my phone is from. I bought my phone through Orange. I'm in South Africa.
If I go to Settings>About Phone>Regulatory Information. I see the words Europe, Australia and India displayed. So I'm quite confused as to which one it actually is.
I'm not allowed to post a screenshot as I'm a new user on the forums.
Thanks.

Where did you buy your phone from?
If you got in from India its the indian version and if you bought it from Europe its the European.
Check your model number if its the XT1562 its likely to be the indian version.

I bought it through the South African Orange store. The model is XT1562. The reason why I'm asking is because India and Canada has received the Marshmallow update. But I have yet to receive it. Making me believe that my phone is a European version.

When you are in "about phone" just scroll down to see "baseband version" and "system version" those two items will tell you exactly where phone came from as long as it's still stock and hasn't been modified. System version should have abbreviation of country in it like LA for Latin America, CA for Canada, EU for Europe etc. Baseband relates to wireless operator who sold it originally, mine came from Canadian operator Telus so it has "Telus" in the baseband name. Hope this helps you out.

My phone (UK set) has "reteu.EU" on System version while Baseband version is almost similar as yours. EMEA means Europe, Middle East & Africa. So I'm guessing your phone belongs to EMEA region as mine which currently undergoing soak test for MM. It won't be long I think, maybe as a new year present.

Thank you for the reply.
I'm thinking the Motorola staff is all currently on holiday. So you're probably correct in saying it'g going to be a new years present.

I went ahead last night and downloaded the Indian 6.0 version from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/moto-x-play-marshmallow-6-0-ota-t3267061
Every digit from the file matches my system version. So I was very confident that it was going to work. I put the file in the root of my sd card. Restarted my phone. After putting in my pin I was immediately prompted with system update available. It took about 10min to complete. Everything working perfectly so far.

Suppose in the case I bricked my phone and I don't know the baseband version of it. Now what is the option to recover? Flash stock firmware via Odin but don't know the baseband??? What will happens if I flash another country stock firmware?? Will the phone hard brick?? Or it will work fine?? Thank you
The worst case is that your sim card will not work with that software. This is only if your phone is carrier locked.
If it is unlocked, or neverlocked as others put it, then you can flash any firmware you like, as long as it is for your respective phone model.

Make sure that this phone isn't locked to O2 or any UK carrier.

You should flash Nepal firmware then. It would give you better (more match) CSC code. The CSC (Consumer Software Customization) code contains the info about software packages specific to a particular region, carrier branding and also APN (Access Point Name) settings for data connection.
In my case, my S4 i9500 was made in Vietnam and when I received it, it had a Thailand firmware on it. It is a network unlocked phone. I live in USA. The first lollipop firmware came out was for Russia. So I flahsed the Russian firmware. My CSC showed that it is a russian phone. I used that phone on AT&T network that available in USA, China and Korea, and I had no problem.
Nothing will happen.
@sway8966
Are you really to suggest him to flash Nepali firmware on UK phone? I'll unlock it (the carrier-lock) first and then flash other countries' firmware if need.

Sorry to bump this up but im having problems with my s6 edge (Maybe because of this).
I recently acquired a phone from a relative from UK. The OS is android 7.0 and the carrier is three.co.uk (H3G), we have reset the phone to its factory settings and accidentally didnt noticed that it do auto update on the OS, then this bootloops starts to occur.
The phone isnt network-locked because the phone can receive signals, messages and phone calls on local sim.
Now upon browsing around SamMobile, There is an available Firmware for this mobile and even the firmware which is available to Philippines but only ver. 6.0.1
Is this possible to use the PH one or still i go to UK(h3g)?
help please
once i take the firmware from other countries and then i install to my phone,
does my phone will going to operate that firmware even if it come from another country
because i tried to find firmware according to my respective country unfortunately i missed it.
so please i need your assistance ..please
Hi,
Does anyone have any ideas why's there a different firmware base in Slovenia than in other EU countries? As far as I know, every other European country got the Marshmallow update by now, except for us. I tried contacting the distributor, Huawei itself, and even the network provider to no avail. Is there a way to flash a different firmware base on a device?
Thanks to anyone that might have some answers.

Damn, I guess that's it then. Well, at least I know I won't be getting another Huawei ever again...
Hello all,
So I'm tempted to buy a Tim-branded S8 on Amazon.it because it's crazy cheap currently. I'm not in Italy but from what I've gathered online (and confirmed by a review on the product's page on Amazon), branding in Italy doesn't mean sim-locking so it should be usable with my local carrier. I'm in Europe anyway.
The only major difference with an unlocked phone (since it doesn't seem to have any hardware trace of the carrier) will be the software : potential TIM-related bloatware, delays for updates, etc.
My question would be : could it be possible to flash an official "clean" image, without affecting the phone and its warranty ? If so, which reference should I use ?
Thank you very much !
Yes, was going to ask if it was also sim locked.?
What county are you in and what sim do you use?
Out the box, if sim unlocked, it will work anyway.
Unless you want any advanced features.
Fw wise it's not a problem. I went the other way though, flashing EE ( UK) firmware into an unbranded unlocked BTU version to get VoLTE to work. It caused no issues.
Belgium but I guess European models pretty much have all bands available across Europe...
Thanks for the feedback !
I have the tim s8 here in the UK, flashed the h3g firmware and have WiFi calling and volte functioning without issue.

hi
Im also interested in buying a tim branded phone (https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B071RSVYSH/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H&psc=1) and was hoping if someone who has one could answer me couple of questions.
1) Does the phone have universal warranty? I mean if something was wrong with it and it needed any repair, could I just take it to a local Samsung store?
2) The model number on amazon site is G950, is that different from G950F? i couldn't find any reliable info on this..
Thanks in advance!
If the phone is designed for the European market then warranty applies regardless where you are (within Europe).
All European models are F-models.
You can flash an unbranded ROM through Odin to get rid of any branding which does not trigger Knox.
