[Q] System update changed firmware region - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just purchased a zenfone 2 Laser online from a seller in Taiwan with TW firmware on it (Only TW and JP firmware support 4G Band 28 I need in Australia).
As soon as the phone arrived I set it up an OTA system update.
To my surprise when the update installed I noticed that the firmware was no longer TW but WW.
Is this normal?"
Will my phone still support 4G Band 28? (I don't have a SIM in it yet)
How do I tell if my phone is really a Taiwan version and not a WW version or was it really a cleverly disguised WW version all along?
cheers

I think that's normal with TW updates. It will have no effect on your bands.

[Q] Flash new firmware

Hi, I just bought a galaxy note II for hong kong but the firmware installed on it is one from chinese origin --'
Is it possible for me to flash an european firmware on it? I have many apps that come in chinese, and this sucks ><
Please help.
Samfirmware and grab a firmware from your area its a international note 2 so your fine

Like above said. Go to www.samfirmware.com, then go to "Firmwares and Files", choose Model and whichever country you want, and download it. Then, use Odin to flash it into your phone. Simple.
Your phone should be the international note 2. The model is "GT-7100 - Galaxy Note II".
Do you need to be rooted first before flashing a new ROM?
I am receiving a Chinese version tomorrow (UK), and was wandering if I could just change the CSC code and get get rid of anything that's in chinese language?
Thankyou

No need for root for the above way of flashing as they are stock roms...you can change the csc but each stock rom onky has certain regions in the csc

actually the note 2 is not yet available in my country, that' why I bought it abroad. Does it change anything? I mean, can I still flash a UK version on my phone? I live in mauritius.
Please help.

What you mean by international version?
What are the differences?
I ask because I am failing to flash mine and it might not be international (probably).
Thanks

If your phone doesn't have 4G (LTE), then it's the international version, GT - N7100.

Any news on E975 Kitkat ?

does anyone know about the release date for this ?? fed up of waiting...
You could have asked in the already numerous threads about the KitKat update. In stead of making a different thread.
But to answer your question: nobody exactly knows, not even the different LG devisions. When I called LG BeNeLux they didn't even confirm that the E975 will receive the update.

I would have if the other threads meant for this weren't talking about how to install the ported ROM from F series on E975...just wanted a cleaner thread where ppl can update any news of when it will be released
^Yes to that! There are so many threads for KK update, but they are flooded with information, news, instructions about f180 l/s/k.

Does LG have no idea of how many international optimus G phones it has sold to give it some priority over other phones..?
why is it taking so long after announcing the release of Kitkat for Optimus G to actually reach out to general public..
Has LG yet confirmed that KitKat will be coming to all OG's? In my country LG tells me that they don't know anything about an update. Only the SFR OG will be getting the update this month.

I have a question: from what I know, the E977 variant (sold here in Brazil and some south american countries), only differ from the international E975 model in LTE band (Brazil currently uses 2600 MHz and 700 MHz is under testing).
I don't believe LG will release KK 4.4.2 update here, so if the E975 model gets an update and mine does not, is it possible to flash E975 KK 4.4.2 firmware and then just flash a baseband/modem package to make it compatible with LTE frequency in my country? Thanks in advance.

A leaked email from LG brasil hinted us that update is coming in July. The same email has hinted the month of the update for G2 and it accurate. Also the Brazilian LG site affirms that the OG be updated.

LG has always confirmed on your website thats the update is comming...
Just check the page of OG on lge.com.br and you will see "Guaranted upgrade to kitkat".
And will dont need wait for 975kk rom. You can flash the F180K sling 2.1 rom whiout any problems. Just bacckup your modem and the EFS partition and you will be safe.
Beleave-me, im using Sling right now on our E977 from Brasil

Well, I'm glad LG will release KK update for E97x models. The info about a update on E977 page at LG website must be new then. I've already backed up modem (and created a flasheable update) and the 3 EFS partitions via Freegee (I have a freegee folder on PC as well), so I'll try this ROM.
Thanks for the reply, really good to see LG showing respect towards the consumer.
I believe that LG has already released the E975 updates to the carriers for testing. SFR France reported that they were already testing the E975 kitkat build. (See source below.) They included a photo, and said the update should come in June.

Ok...but this is still E97520a...where is the 30C series which launched for F180L phones?? I guess 20a will certainly be less than 30c in respect to some features

The version numbering is different between models and regions, depending on the initial version of the release. V20a might be updated to newer subversions (b/c/whatever), but there will be no V30x for E975.

In some countries it comes as v30,in Brazil will be "v20... ", as it already came with official jellybean when released, the number and letter of the versions is totally variable from place to place, and I believe this French version will come with what v30d from Asia have and maybe even with some more stuff.
I'm agreeing with you, just making a point here, lol.

nope
JeffreyCoffman45 pretty much nailed it. You can't do that without root, and even if you had root, you probably wouldn't want to do that anyways. What you can do is unlock your phone and it should work in India with a different sim from a local network.

You could try with LG pc suite. You probably don't get the OTA cause you're not using the AT&T lines.
Even the PC suite is saying no update found. How do I update to lollipop

You need to have a AT&T sim in your LG G3 and you have to be in North America in order for the OTA to show up

Just found on Firmware/science G975USQU1ASD3

Anyone get this as an OTA? I was just going to install the sprint SPR-G975USQU1ASC8 Odin file when i noticed this newer firmware on firmware.science. G975USQU1ASD3
Information about your update
This firmware will update your S10+
from version G975USQU1ASBA
to version G975USQU1ASD3.
The file size is approximately 536.1 MB and the firmware was found on April 3, 2019.
This firmware is only for sprint? I wonder if they fix the connection issue sprint user are experiencing

There is a full Odin of sprint SC8 out and there's an uodate on Firmware science that is not carrier specific that updates SBA to SD3. Pretty sure the SC8 Odin can be installed for any carrier, just dont use the userdata unless you are on sprint. I'm installing the SD3 now.
This made a HUGE improvement on fingerprints. I deleted all my saved and when i re-did them it registered every touch with very little pressure for 4 fingers. (I do two for each thumb) I maybe got 3 errors saying press harder the whole setup. When unlocking it unlocked 10 out of 10 times and quicker than before.
Works perfect on verizon model. Thanks!

Yes. Its not carrier specific. Works great!

installed on my Sprint model, works great
So this won't work for unlocked u1?
Did this help the data issues for those on Sprint? I'm unlocked on Sprint service searching for a way to fix my issues since Sammy hasn't sent out the update yet but Sprint has.

Does this work for factory unlocked? And any confirmation that its helping with signal? Using Unlocked S10+ w/ ATT and it constantly drops data although it shows I have full signal.

Those of you that flashed on verizon, when you go into the "system update" does it show the ASBA update and "Applied March 18, 2019''? I flashed the ASD3 and it shows that under the Software Information where build number, kernel version etc is.
