[Q] Want upgrade to 4.4.2

Hello.
Just bought an used Note II. It has 4.3 and I want 4.4.2. Software updates on the phone tells me 4.3 is the latest. Kies on imac is telling me the same.
Baseband version: N7100ZSENA1
Current firmware = Latest firmware = PDA: NA1, PHONE: NA1, CSC: NA1 (TGY)
It means that the update is not ready for that country? What country is NA1 (TGY)? Can I change that somehow and get the latest firmware?
Thank you in advance.

Update might not have arrived on your country. But you can get the ofiical firmware from here and instructions too. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=28988

Thank you.
I'm also interested in knowing which country is NA1 (TGY). According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Csc, TGY is Hong Kong. That means the phone was bought from Hong Kong?
If i flash that firmware, it will change country to India and will have OTA updates when available in India?

I would advise you flash the French Version and not the Indian version cause it carries the modem file that is tailor made for Indian users only,people who use that modem outside of India might experience sudden battery drain and weak signal (the ones that are rooted can take care of it by flashing the french modem or one of the older 4.3 modems) but you wont be and you'd have to flash French rom which carries a XX labelled modem that works for most EU countries although XF is the one for romania

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29588 - is this the right one?
Will this be enough? Or do I need to flash a different modem firmware? After this the phone will be french version instead of hong kong version?

Ya thats the latest one that released today.Download it and flash via pc odin.I am not too sure if your phone would change to "french version" look at my screenshot of attached CSC .Shows BTU (which is UK) and CSC country is UK AND IRE (cause i believe the stock rooted ROM from the developer i got turned the CSC into this i guess he's from that part of the world) and my note II is originally from Dubai and been using it in India .So you can imagine by poor phone has been touringaround the world..LOL But doesn't affect me cause i never upgrade to stock roms from sammobile i always get the stock dedoxed pre rooted ones from xda so CSC doesn't matter to me unless it messed my phone up.
Read this post below that would give you more info about how does flashing a rom from another country works

This is mine. Should I go then for french update or wait for hing kong version.
Is it ok that I'm using hong kong version in romania? France is closer

Ok, I did the firmware update from France.

Is this ok? Do I need to do anything else?

Battery life seems worse on 4.4.2. Should I flash different modem firmware?

Since you are on stock 4.4.2 you got two options,either flash a custom 4.4.2 custom ROM (dr ketan's rom is the least bloated and very close to stock)so that would give you a good estimate how your battery drain is or you flash a custom 4.3 (there are tons available out there choose the one which impresses you the most)

For now I wish to stay on stock ROM. But battery life on 4.3 was much better than on 4.4.2.

Well give it few days and see if it improves ,if it doesn't then only option is to root your phone and try custom 4.3 or 4.4 ROMS.Good luck

Why not give it a try? The 4.3 stock firmware should be on sammobile's site. Why carry another battery when you don't have to?

Assuming you upgraded (as in kept all your apps and data) from 4.3 to 4.4.2 then you should probably factory reset before judging battery life. Some apps just never play ball again after an update.
The rule typically is:
x.x.a to x.x.b - wipe only if experience issues
x.a.x to x.b.x - wipe suggested but not generally required
a.x.x to b.x.x - wipe generally required

[Q] Galaxy Tab8.4 Can I install Lollipop korean version into my CANADA S ?

Hi there epople. I have a very simple question for you Android GURUS!
I purchased 3 SM-T700 8.4 Tab S from ebay... separate purchases from different sellers. One of them seems to be the Panama version. (T700XXU1BOD5) and it automatically updated to Lollipop using WiFi. However the other two TAB's seem to be the CANADA version (T700XXU1ANL2) and these won't automatically update to Lollipop.
My question is if I can install lollipop firmware for the Panama version into this CANADA version tab?? I can download the firmware from sammobile.com.
Please confirm.
Thanks!!

Did it work for you? I want to do the same thing to my Canadian Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 (Wi-Fi) SM-T330NU now that the Korean lollipop 5.1.1 update is out.
Thanks in advance for your reply!

Yes. Did it on three of the T700 and all they work just fine

Awesome! I'm glad to hear this.

If you have a 3113, you can flash any 3113 firmware

It is not possible, you have to install pie rom of your own model, check out xperifirm for your model's pie update..

Downgrade to Android 12, One UI 4 - because of broken ANT+ Support?

Is there a possibility to downgrade to the last Stock ROM?
How to do this?
It's because of the broken ANT+ Support. Custom ROM with ANT+ would be great too, but I can't find one with working ANT+. Any recommendations?

You can flash Android 12 Firmware using odin.
Just download firmware files from Frija by typing your phones model number.
As for the CSC, the only one I know of with Android 12 as of now is KSA.
Once you get all the firmware files, place them in odin and flash while your phone is in download mode.

Thanks for your swift and helpful reply!
Is the wrong CSC a problem? I would need DBT for Germany unbranded.
Dispite of this, I can't find a Android 12 Firmware for my SM-G980F with Frija - not even with KSA.

Wrong CSC shouldn't be a problem as long as you have a sim card installed, but then again, it doesn't matter anyways since you want to stay on Android 12.
The S20 got updated into Android 13 in most countries.
Second way to do this is via those websites either Sammobile or samfrew where you just input your Phones model, CSC, and select what Android version you want.

Question SM-S901U to SM-901E (India)

Is flashing an unlocked SM-901U (at&t) to SM-901E (India) possible?

Usually no as Us devices have different Chipsets than most other countries

Even if chipset is same, you can't flash different model no firmware on Samsung except U to U1.
