[firmware]•[samsung note 2 lte]●regional sammobile firmware question - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi people, just a quick question.
If I download firmware that is NOT yet been released on my carrier, am I able to flash it via PC (ODIN) without having to root etc...?
Im trying to avoid rooting if possible. Unfortunately every carrier in the UK apart from 3UK has pushed the 4.3 update for Note 2 LTE (N7105)
Im slightly impatient and thought maybe I could just download another carrier (eg. Vodafone) and flash it without and implications.
Any answers would be much help. Sorry of this is the wrong section.
Peace. Match

You can absolutely flash the leaked AT&T rom onto an unrooted Rogers glide, it's no different from installing it on an AT&T glide. If you're new to flashing in general, you can see my walkthrough here.
You should also be able to flash a stock AT&T firmware onto it and get the official update through Kies, but that seems like more effort than it's worth. I'd recommend either flashing the leak (and then clockworkmod and the keyboard backlight fix) or waiting for someone to release a version of the official 4.0.4 rom with the AT&T bloatware removed, which should happen soon.
You'll need to set your APN to match Rogers, or your MMS and internet won't work.
Hey thank you very much for answering..prob gonna give it a shot tonight. Gotta love paying 600 for a phone outright to get no help from your carrier lol.

[Q] Kies also doesnt upgrade the version

I have N7100XXALJ2 Baseband version in my phone and even if I connect to Kies then also it says its the latest OS whereas its only 4.1.1
Im sorry if I am asking a very stupid question here.
You have to wait - the update is only pushed out to few countries. You can follow the update periodically at samfirmware site - type 7100 into search and look for 4.1.2 update in your country.
N7105zhalj4
yeah, mine's an N7105ZHALJ4 and I too am waiting.
Mine came from Hong Kong via Kogan.com.au, and if I factory wipe it then it comes up in Chinese. I really want it to come up in English by default.
If I flashed a European ROM, would that fix it, or do I have to do some magic with the CSC?
thanks
2 of my friends have 4.1.2 stock through kies in the uk yet im unable to get it nor from samfirmware hows that work all phones are sim free

You could all have different firmwares from different countries. I'm in America, bought mine from Newegg and I have Moroccan firmware.
All had the same uk modrl with the same uk firmware

Even today when I connect my phone with Kies , it still says that the phone is with the latest firmware . Can any body help please ?
Manu dont freak out m8.. its just because your country haven't receive the update yet, just like me and many others are waiting.. so no panic..

i had 4.1.1 and all went fine but stuckd at download mode ,thts the finall stage on kies upgrade..my xda frnds suggestd me to use odin and to suprise even odin dint recognize my phone in down mode...."and my drivers were all correct"...then i jus connected to my other port and it was all set to flash..iam on 4.1.2.....
If your phone is a brand one, it may take a long time for the carrier to make an update. I'm with Orange/Sosh in France, and my device is always with 4.1.1, no available update. But it's not that important, i use Exynos abuse to pach the infamous exynos memory exploit, phone works very well and is root, so i don't really need a new firmware.

N7100 firmware update??? Confused!!

Hi guys I no this is a total noob comment but im confused ...
Im currently on XXDLJ2 and just seen the threads about the france XXDLL7 firmware.
Am I correct in thinking that the XXDLL7 is the latest firmware?
And am I able to flash this update over my current firmware? I have the international note 2 and am on vodafone uk
I had a snoop for the answer on google but thought id be better picking some genius' s brain of XDA!!!
Thanks in advance
Chris

Yes you can flash. You will need pc software called odin. You will find instructions in the thread for the latest firmware on here.

Help needed after much searching

Hey Guys,
New to the Note II, and have been searching and searching, and have a few questions, as I really want to get started and use my phone. Have spent hours trying to search.
1- Is the bootloader unlocked from factory?
2- Can I debrand the phone or flash a "stock" samsung firmware without any of tmobile restrictions and apps? Please guide me on where to find the stock samsung build that takes out all tmobile stuff.
3- I heard tethering doesn't work if I use a non-tmobile SIM. Is that true?
Thanks for all the help!
Yes the bootloader is unlocked and the rom im using jedi x8 which is based off of the international one...so I im pretty sure all you do is flash the tmobile radio
