Noob question here. I want to flash a US international version of the stock Note 2 to my local Note 2 w/o loss of data, if possible. I'm not concerned with language options (all I ever use is US/UK English). I want to do it because it receives updates first.
So do you own a N7100? Or did you get your phone from a carrier like Verizon.Att and so on? If so then No.

I own the N7100-ALJ1. It's carrier-free.

Got my galaxy note 2 from honkong theybsaid that its a hongkong version but I believe it is also international version because of gt n7100. Can I still get updates from my country (philippines)?
And can I update different version from different countires without rooting?

ok can i get the phone from UAE and get updates from UK? i know i can change the CSC, but does it really work? with no problems?
From my knowledge you can but mind you that different region firmware will have different update dates

You can. But you will receive only Hk region updates. Not a big issue.
To change your region to phillipines, wait till sammobile.com brings in firmware packages and odin for note 2!
Hello all,
Hope you're all enjoying the festive season!!!
Just a quick question as I'm getting conflicting info with my Google searches.
Galaxy Note II - UK (EE network so carrier unlocked) what is the latest Official Samsung Android version available???
Im currently on 4.1.1 but read on certain sites that 4.1.2 is available! Is this correct? I look on Samfirmware.com and cant find the 4.1.2 update and also when I scan for updates on my handset it also says no update is available...
Any confirmation available would be much appreciated

If your on ee I presume youve got the N7105 not the n700. Make sure you've got the right device model and then search sammobile firmware section
I'm running 4.1.2 the South African version on ee inn the uk with no problems. I think there isva polish and swedish one as well

it isn't released in uk, us etc. As they are too mainstream to have the update with bugs. They are first released in Poland. Then south Asian countries like India etc. that bugs are reported as quickly as possible.

No im n7100 - had the device since launch. The 7105 is the lte version which came later, which has no use in the UK at present as 4g isn't readily available and won't be for the next year or 2

Hi,
I have a Galaxy note ii 7105
I read everywhere that Jelly Bean 4.1.2 is out in the UK for OTA or Kies but i have been trying for a week and no sign of an update.
Any one know when it is coming or is there something I am doing wrong?
My device is
AP:N7105XXALIJ
CP:N7105BVALIG
CSC:N7105EVRALIC
I was given the phone as a gift and think it came from EE but it is unlocked and I have my O2 sim in it at the moment.
Any help advice, has anyone else managed to undate it over the air or via kies.
I dont want to root it as I only have a MAC (its a girl thing) so cant run any of the third party update software.
Let me know and is it totally frustrating to keep reading about this update and not be able to get it..
Cheers
Bex

Hi Bex
Look like the latest is what you have no one on lte is showing 4.1.2 as far as I can see
To be honest 4.1.2 on standard note 2 caused all kind of battery problems in not rushing to update my note 2
CSC is the code which determines where your phone comes from and which updates you have

Thank you for that for that I will just have to sit and wait. I have to say that sucks this is the one downside of Andriod compared to Apple.

Alas Bex that is the downside with samsung they have a strange roll out for updates
Normally unlocked handsets get the update first but on my note 2 (not 4g) two mobile operators 3 and vodaphone have pushed out the 4.1.2 update first and im on unlocked version and havent got it so im spitting feathers

My CSC ends in ALJ4 and I am on BTU UK firmware. Does that mean my phone is unlocked? It is unbranded and I bought it from carphone warehouse as an upgrade for o2.
As I understand it, BTU is unlocked - it is the generic UK firmware ie not linked to a particular carrier.

Samsung really need to sort this out as this kind of lack of consistency will lose them users. I see why Nexus devices are so popular as they always get updates. I love my Nexus7 its a joy to uses. Shame my NoteII is stuck on 4.1.1 I am not going to root it but Samsung are opening themselves up to people hacking with there lack of updates.

I have a US sgs3: SGH-I747 that was bought/used on AT&T.
I want to be able to drop in a new SIM when I go to china and Hong Kong, and use the Voice/Data Networks over there. Is there a way to do this? Must I root the device?
Yes you can, but you need to unlock your phone. Im using it in Vietnam right now. Im on vacation.

Hwy guys I have a verizon note 4 and it is not root able at all. I have been wanting to stick with this great device but I miss root. I miss the freedom and capabilities it unlocked. I have been wondering which variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is permanently rootable ? Is it a different US carriers variant? Or an international one that has this ability? I appreciate the help guys, thanks in advance.
I think the Note 4 on US Cellular & T-Mobile are the only 2 that don't have locked bootloaders and are rootable along with the international version too.

Does the international version play well with AT&T towers?
