[Q] Updating to 4.2.2 with Official Rom from another country - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

I have a Note 8.0 from Taiwan that is the WiFi/3G model. I have been waiting for what seems like forever to get 4.2.2, checking SamMobile every day to get an idea of when the next update is coming out. I recently unrooted my device because all the other countries in this part of the world seem to have the 4.2.2, but there is no news for Taiwan.
If I update using the build from, say, Malaysia, which has 4.2.2 on the Note 8.0, will it cause me any problems? I seem to remember that the radio might be affected, but I never use the 3G on the Note. I just use the hotspot on my Galaxy S2.

I'm on the same boat except mine is gt-n5110. wifi only from france. I'm starting to believe that 4.2.2 will never come for this country. So which country should I flash?

Wish I knew. Tried browsing for an answer, but not had any luck. Tried wording my searches clearly, but I get nothing on Google.

I confirm I flashed successful different firmware countries in my n5110.

I am in New Zealand and flashed the UK 4.2.2 and it works great, no problems. I have the GT-N5110 version.

OK, so I'm being totally lazy by asking this ... but where did you get the UK ROM from? I had a quick look before and didnt see anything super obvious. I'm in NZ too and have given up waiting for the update

OK, scratch that. Was browsing wrong bloody forum. Found it now... lol.

Used Philippines 4.2.2 official room from Sammobile and it worked almost perfectly. Only issue was restoring apps from Google Play servers. It kept giving errors, but I did my apps manually, and everything was spot on after that.

Hi, really so the 4.2.2 update from the Philippines is ok? I heard that athough you gain screen mirroring (general "miracast" instead of that terrible closed off allshare cast from samsung) you lose multiwindow! and the s-pen has an offset of a few millimeters?

Try it. And let us know.

It's the volume bug update and should be ~1mb.
Why not update? It's nothing to be worried about...
I'm curious as to what happened to E...
I've finally gotten it.
And here's the reason why it trickles/trickled, from a Google guy on the Android team:
OTAs *always* roll out to a small group (canary), then increasingly larger groups. Because sometimes there are bugs that don't get caught that come with new changes or a process issue turns up with OTAs. It's far better to catch these when a small number of devices get the update and never come back online than slam an update out to an entire population and only then discover that there was an issue.

You are!
Well... at least I would assume so because I am in Canada and ordered a UK GNexus (Handtec). It was dropped off today and about an hour after I started using it I checked for updates and it popped up.
Mine arrived thismorning (O2 sim only phone purchased on Friday 18th), haven't yet installed due to being on a custom rom.
No update for me yet - Handtec +Vodafone UK.
I've received mine, vodafone uk, but does anyone know if it's ok to apply to a rooted handset?
If someone has the OTA file then upload it for those who haven't got it yet

Update to 4.04 in UK - have I missed something

Hi,
I have looked through threads but if I missed this then I am sorry !
I have an unlocked One X, on Vodafone in the UK.
I have been away on holiday for most of August and got back to see the news of the 4.04 update. I saw it on the HTC website and an article on Andoid Central.
I have been checking daily and my phone consistently says there is no update.
Two questions;
1) As far as I know I have the international unlocked version, is there a way to check this ?
2) Am I missing something about the update, i.e. have I got confused and it simply isn't out yet for my phone ?
Thanks for any/all help !

The thread with 4.0.4 in the title has hardly left the first page for over a month now.
If you're unlocked, you can flash any ROM based on 2.17... What you waiting for?
It's being released now in the UK according to the 4.0.4 thread

Just popped up on mine a minute ago. Need given I have rooted my stock model I probably need to look into what to do before just flashing.
Yeah mate, checked 2 minutes ago and mine found it.
Also on international HOX on Voda.

Yes, thanks to all !
I checked the day after and there it was waiting.
I was just confused by the country thing, as I thought all international versions got it at the same time.
All installed now and working well.
Just need to send mine back to get rid of the yellow spot on the screen and then I'm al sorted ...
Thanks again

[Q] SCH-R890 same as ???

Since I cannot seem to get the search function to return even results I see in recent posts, I am unable to locate any previous posts that may already answer this.
If I purchase the US Cellular variant of the S4 mini (SCH-R890) should I be able to apply root -- and more importantly CM10.2 -- procedures/how-to's that were made/written for the int'l version (GT-I9195) to my phone?
Using carrier supplied software is a deal-breaker for me, and I am not seeing any information from people saying it is or is NOT compatible.
Does anyone have any info to lend?
(Apologies if this should be in Q&A)
For the time it's probably going to be just root. You can't be the only one with that version

Can anyone speak to the possibility of using the int'l ROM on this phone?
i'm interested to know this as well

Hi again friend... muy t835n arrived today... dont know how to check bands but all works great on tmo... lte 35 megs... phone calls great... no nfc, but the most annoying... iris scanner does not replace fingerprint reader.... all apps you logged with fingerprint, now, you have to type password wtf! Really dissapointed... bank, car app, lastpass, all of them and more can log with iris scanner... really really upset...tablet is 10, but that lack of autentication is a big problem for me
Looks like you will have to use Samsung Pass. This is from the guide.
Using Samsung Pass
When you register your irises to Samsung Pass, you can use them to easily verify your identity
or sign in to websites. Refer to Samsung Pass for more information.

Yes you can make phone calls over GSM-LTE Network.. its a full on phone app that you would find on a note 9 note 8 galaxy s8+ etc, and you have a true sms aka message app as well. My plan was to make it daily driver, i'm finding it bit to big to carry around. yeah i know lol, my Tab S 8.4 is my daily driver but A$$ Hole samsung havent released an 8.4 verison again.. Samsung suck for that. But other than that the TAB S4 is a beast of a tablet 4k content looks incrediblem i was watching avengers infinty wars in 4k man i could see actors zits, lol you would never notice them on full hd display. Samsung truly has made a monster of a display, on this Tab S4!
Anybody know any good deals on the T8:35? I just got a free smartphone line on T-Mobile just waiting for this baby to be used on lol. I see it brand new on eBay for $857.

I looked back and our September patch update included camera improvements. So it's possible we received last month what Europe is getting this month.
Plus bear in mind, since the European models are exynos instead of snapdragon, that affects the camera/photo processing. So they may see camera updates that we don't see ansnvicr versa.
