[Q] Lollipop for UK GalaxyTab S - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone in the UK had Lollipop OTA yet? It seems that every other country has it apart from the UK. I even see posts on Android Central that countries such as Azerbaijan or Outer Mongolia have it, but the UK, forget it!

Cool, i'm going to give this a shot then. Does it wipe the tablet when you flash it?

Not sure why you flashed the Canadian firmware. The UK firmware has been available for a while now.

Not for the 800

I used the French firmware in the end. It was all good though. Now upgraded to Lollipop which seems a lot smoother but I still decided to get rid of Touchwiz and installed Nova Launcher.
Thanks for everyone's help!

You haven't got rid of touchwiz. Touchwiz is an embedded part of the stock Rom. You are only running a different launcher.

Yeah I know that. But I have removed it as my launcher.

The Panama TPA xxu1bod1 is practically the same firmware as the UK firmware.
In fact any firmware with the same build id will be more or less the same except for the carrier extras.

Everyone has modded 4.3. To get what you want you would have to build yourself. Or maybe install leaked version, (open asia newest) and install n3 apps.....
We should see official really really soon so just hold out.

According to rumors, when are youg going to receive the 4.3 update in your country? I'm in Central America, so I'm not really hopeful about seeing it soon...by the way, If I'm rooted, I won't get the notification of the update, right? :S thanks!

I'm in the US so I don't have an update coming my way. I'm just going to use the U.K. or Asian version. The official will have multi language so you can Odin in any update you want.
As for being rooted, I think you will get the notification but it wont update.

Noob here... are you saying that XAC (for Canada) is also the US version? I'm also looking for the US version and don't see USA or anything like that?
Thanks in advance!

I'm also looking for the US version. That list is horribly designed.
I'm fairly new to samsung tablets and was looking for the english firmware too.
I installed kies and it showed mine as XAR which is cellular south.
Mine ends ends with ANE9, there is one that ends with 7 too.
I've not tried it but I do recall reading somewhere that the US version falls under cellular south. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can confirm.
Hope it helps.

[Q] S4 mini SHV-E370K Korean version needs help!

Hi guys,
I've just been with this korean phone for 2 weeks. I was trying to look for a custom rom but there's nothing for this SHV-E370K.
Are there custom ROMs like CM for this version ? i'm fed up with this rom, the sms text is limited by 140 characters and auto converted to mms if it has more than 140.
Does anyone have a solution for me ?
Thank so much!:laugh:
You can use the recovery and CM version for GT-I9195. The SHV-E370K is pretty much an identical device.

The question is why did you buy the Korean version if it's just $80 difference in price.
Anyway, you just need to try.

why? $190 looked a great deal for me... I bought the s4 mini with no plan to root or install custom roms (I have a galaxy s5 international version).. but i am a little disappointed to see this variant does not have official kitkat upgrade yet... I would think being a korean version (in it's country of origin lol), it would get updates first... that's weird

Why don't you use your S5 then?
I don't think that the Korean version of all of the phones are made by Samsung... but I'm not sure.
In case of flashing international rom to this korean version, If it bricks my phone, can I debrick it?

unfortunately, I could not flash i9195 ROM to shv-e370k, it failed, custom ROMs like CM for I9195 also failed. I've been searching on the internet, some korean phone can be converted into international version by flashing some boot images, kenels ... How can i do that to my shv-e370K ? does anyone have an idea ?

I'm really interested in the answer to this question also. Can anyone please post an answer.
Can you please link the T835n update that you used. I'm still trying to figure out how to buy the right tablet off ebay that is unlocked.
Also did pie break anything on the tablet? I read something about a couple of programs didn't work anymore but can't find the thread now.
I want the LTE even though I have Verizon now I might switch to t-mobile if this works since my DW's iPad needs replacement soon. Because screw Verizon.

This thread has been dead a long time, but maybe this info will be useful for someone anyway ...
My Tab S4 SM-T830 died. Don't like the keyboard form factor on the Tab S6/S7 (very hard to use on a plane and I travel a lot) ...
So, bought an SM-T835N (new from S. Korea) that arrived today. Decided to risk flashing the UK version of the SM-T835 ROM (from Sammolbile) onto it, in theory, I could always reflash the original ROM if things didn't work out.
All good! The SM-T835N now reports as an SM-T835. Put in a Vodafone SIM and that works ... so, happy-chappy me!
Now have LTE/4G and 6GB of RAM

Connect your device to a PC and run Samsung Switch, it should give you an update.

Don't know.
I do not know how it behaves with other countries. I have changed with the German A70 of the Telekom to the free firmware. For Vodafone there is still no new firmware. You could try the PHN software for Netherlands. But if it does not work you can not go back until Vodafone releases a newer firmware than the current one. Everything at your own risk. Just look at sammobile.

Which free firmaware, and how do you flash (change) the firmware?
Don't expect regular monthly updates as the A series is only scheduled for quarterly updates
It came however in the free firmware without Branding already 2 new updates. while Vodafone and Telekom have not rolled out yet. In these updates, the camera and the fingerprint scanner has been improved.
You can load the firmware at Sammobile and flash with Odin.
However, at your own risk.
Somehow Samsung is strange anyway. There are newer firmware in India and Iraq than in Europe.
