4.1.2 OTA update for AFR Region - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I want to update my note2 (GT-N7100) to 4.1.2 but until now I have not got the update OTA
my mobile region is AFR (Kenya) but I bought it from Syria which where I live right now !
is there anyway to force update to 4.1.2 faking the region or something ?
is Samsung racist with updates ?! so AFR update may not come
Thanks.

No need to faking
simply download any country 4.1.2 firmware from below said thread and install with Odin. Kenya already have 4.1.2

My grey import is AFR, which I believed to be united Arab Emirates (after I Googled it). I ended up flashing the French rom with help from Dr Ketan . I live in the UK btw... All working fine apart from slightly more battery drain.

I want something similar to ota update without resetting my things
and UAE got the update so if AFR is referring to UAE I should get the update, anyway am not sure it's for kenya but it's what I got from http://samsung-updates.com

As long as you have a stock rom with stock recovery you will be able to get updates. Keep in mind updates are all dependent on the carrier you are with. Some carriers take forever to put out updates. Hope this helps
If you flash a rom from another country and as long as you have stock status you can receive updates.
As for kies install the rom for your country. Kies will only support if you have a phone with firmware for your country.

csc changer from play store
So my n5100 is apparently a Trinidad and Tobago model. If I update it to another country's firmware, do I lose my ability to do OTA updates in the future?
I know for my HTC ONE, there is a way to change the model number and Cid to convert it to what you want and then get OTA updates. Is that what the changing the CSC does for Samsung? Will I be able to get OTA updates afterward s?

how to Update using ODIN

Hello
i don't know if this question was asked before i tried to search but nothing
i came from xperia xz and flashing was just as easy as downloading the FTF and flashing in flash mod
i bought my S9 that was stuck at 1 Dec 2018 software and no new updates are available (even with smart switch) to download so my best solution is to update it manually using ODIN
i used to have a galaxy gear watch and s5 and flashing was also simple but i came across a thread that said something about CSC Version and i am sacred that i may brick the phone while trying to update it
can someone point me in the right directions ?
my CSC : G960FOXM2CRLI
Service provider SW ver.
SAOMC_SM-G960F_OXM_KSA_PP_0002
KSA/EGY, EGY/XSG
baseband version
G960FXXU2CRLI
build number
PPR1.180610.011.G960FXXU2CRLI
and i live in egypt but the phone was sold is KSA if that's matters
any help please ?
thanks in advance

If there are no updated KSA firmwares for your S9, flash any CSC for the G960F, Germany (DBT ) has the latest June update
If you have KSA sim card need to flash KSA firmware with only Home CSC also and if you have EGY sim card and will come OTA downloads
KSA/KSA,KSA/XSG

Well yes you need CSCs to match for OTA, but it is not necessary for normal usage, once my region releases the latest update I will flash back for OTA
so it's normal to flaash any firmware even if the CSC doesn't match? only the phone model number right? flashing on ODIN like thr normal way kust like the s5? nothing else need to be done ? like enabling/disabling stuff on developper options ? OEM unlock? sorry for my noobies questions

Normal if your own region CSC has not updated their firmware yes, but you will not receive OTA updates until the CSCs match and will have to flash manually each update
There is a big thread about it so I'm not going to go into it in detail here, quick search should find what you need
Nothing else needed, boot to download mode and flash with Odin 3.13.1
Thank you
