[Q] overseas TW update - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

got email from samsung saying TW is waiting for me.
update was only to lock my unlocked tab...
no more updates and no samsung apps. unrooted OTA.
I'm in Europe.
2 problems:
1. will i get the new TW while i'm out of US?
2. what happend with the samsung apps app ?
10x

I'm in Australia, imported my GT10.1 32GB WiFi from the US and got the TouchWiz UX update just like everyone else has.

For some reason i cannot get the update. Its say no updates found.
Is it maybe because the bootloader update?

if you installed the previous leaked touchwiz ROM, it wont update
get back to stock ROM and it'll appear.
it'll update even if you're in another country (set US in Samsung account when checking for the update)

Questions regarding updates in Europe (Sweden)

Hi everyone! I've been lurking a lot, but not registered until now.
I have been anxiously awaiting the ics update for my razr, but haven't gotten it yet. As I was checking my info on my phone I found that I only have 2.3.5.
Shouldn't I have gotten 2.3.6 by now to prepare for ics? I really want my ics but how will I ever get it if I don't even have 2.3.6?
If it helps, I live in Sweden and my operator is tele2/comviq.
If I search for updates it says it's up to date. What can I do?
Sent from my XT910 using xda-developers app
did you buy your phone used? maybe previous owner flashed with something weird?
Nope. It's bought brand new and I've updated once as far as I can remember. Still says 235 though.
Any idea? I'm so over it. I just want a version of ICS that works here in Sweden, any way really..
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
What version are you on? You can RSD an EMEA fastboot file to get the European updates, but there are probably better solutions if you don't want to mess with your phone :angel:
I'm on version 651.73.30.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU .
Does that say anything to any of you guys..?
I'm fine with going the manual way of updating, as long as the version works as intended here in Sweden.
Although I do want the official release, not an earlier leak or a mod.
Yup, that's the latest version for the NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU, I'm on it as well (in Israel). There isn't an update to 2.3.6 for us
Not everyone in Sweden received 2.3.6, some was lucky updating to 2.3.6 (I was one of them) try to update via Motocast and see if there is anything there otherwise wait for the official ICS

So is there any faster way to get to ICS for us?

I think if we waited so long, we can wait a few more days. We should be getting ICS in Q2... or so motorolla says.
But if you want, there are many posts around here on how to RSD-lite-your-way to ICS.
But does any of it apply for those of us in Europe? I've only seen the Verizon and Brazil updates.

Yes, there is this T-mobile EU leak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688241
Since I'm not that well informed, I'm going to ask to be sure.
If install it that way, am I still "official ROM" and can get future OTA? And everything will work as intended even though I don't have T-mobile?
Edit: also, since I've never updated like this with a new version of android, will I loose apps etc? It's not really a problem, just wondering.
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
No, if you install that OTA you will not be entitled to the official OTA's from Motorola (AFAIK). And I know that going back to Gingerbread is not possible if you are on ICS. In my opinion is better to wait these 4 days and see if Motorola releases the official ICS on time (Q2)
I don't know if the one I gave you the link about is official (I doubt it) it's considered a leak and there might be bugs
If you cant wait, install EMEA 2.3.6 with RSD-Lite, then you should get the OTA as soon as it arrives in Europe. That's what I've done
@percz, does that mean that you've received the update, and does it mean that you got it from the official update service?
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Also in Sweden, as someone mentioned earlier, I only got the update through motocast. Phone always just said it was upto date.
Sent from my XT910 using XDA
So you got the update through motocast without fiddling with anything?
Edit: tried through motocast, nothing.

Yeah, now that I think about it, I installed the 2.3.5 fastboot and got an OTA to 2.3.6. I've made a post about it somewhere...
If you can and want to, could you send me a pm with what you used and how you did it?
Also, doesn't fast boot lock you to only manual updates in the future?
Sent from my XT910
You've got PM!
The fastboot files are Motorola original, just like the ones they use at the service centers, so there should be no problem

My phone says there is an update, but the server is too busy

Is this it? Could it be the long awaited ICS?
If so, I hope the GPS bug from the last leak is fixed.
"Current software is up to date" is all I see.
Anybody else? I am in Canada on Bell, on Team Perfection rom so I cannot verify anything here.
More than likely not ics.
Way to tell us what carrier you are on, OP.
Current Software is up to date
ATT US
Pics, or it didn't happen.

nothing from KIES or checking OTA with ATT. Software is up to date.
Happened on mine the other day (USA ATT), but my guess is that is the default message that appears when you check for a software update with weak/fringe cellular service.
I attached a screencap of the message.
Trust me its not it lol

I had the same thing the other day. Happened when I received my replacement phone from At&t.

Every damn time someone's phone can't reach the server, we have to see a thread about it.
Hey at&t, the wording of that message sucks and confuses people.
It happened to me the other day.... I checked xda and there were no party-popers going off so I cried :crying: a little and figured it was a false alarm
I doubt it will come OTA. More likely on Kies like the SGSII on ATT.

Galaxy Note Update?

My aunt has recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Note for AT&T from an independently owned store. They rooted the phone and unlocked it for 4G. Along with my guidance they were able to enable the 4G data on it. My question is, can I update the phone to Android 4.0 or whatever it needs to be updated to? The phone says that it wants to update but it can't connect to the AT&T servers since it is on T-Mobile. Can I do this in another way?
If you rooted it you shouldn't take any update without unrooting. And if you're rooted you should install a custom ROM anyways. plenty of ICS roms for the note

it could be going to android 4.1.1?

HELP! Galaxy S3 update - How?

I'm new to the site so please excuse my potential ignorance if this has been previously answered or if I missed anything.
So, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305. It was originally on T-Mobile UK but was completely unbranded so on startup doesn't show t-mobile, no network bloatware etc... and I have since had it unlocked (via unlock code, not root)
Waiting for the premium suite update has prompted me to wonder... as I am unlocked am I still governed by t-mobiles wait times to release the update (I actually use a voda SIM in it)? Or as its unlocked/unbranded should I effectively be at the front of the queue as it wereand receive it with other unlocked handsets? Or will I not get it at all as I'm not using a t-mobile SIM?
I'm becoming very impatient waiting for the update as got rid of my note ii in anticipation for the s3 receiving the update. Which after giving more thought to I'm not even sure if I will receive as I have the i9305 rather than the i9300 and they didn't really say specifically who the update was for?
I am on the cusp of rooting just so that I can add the premium suite on the Rom but have limited experience in rooting (only done it a couple of times) worried that I'll miss something and wont be able to return it to stock once the upgrade becomes available via kies as there are so many different guides/roms/software
Appreciate your thoughts

Don't quote me but I don't think it matters what SIM you have in, you should still see the update when it rolls out to that model number.. so long as your not rooted.

Check this live update every once in a while till your country receives the update and then start to panic

Update has nothing to do with locked or unlocked .
You get the TMobile update for your phone .
Or join XDA and flash a stock rom .

Thanks for the info so far. Can someone tell me if I need to do something specific to ensure I can restore to its original non rooted state in the future as I can't wait for the update anymore.
The update is out in the UK but I haven't received it yet

I guess you meant 4.1.2, as 4.2.1 is not yet officially, just the leak, hence no OTA or KIES update possible
I think he means he's received the XXEMB1 4.2.1 official update which superceeds the older XXELLA 4.2.1 updare from a few months ago that appeared to be the cause of regular system freezes. I got my device back from Samsung yesterday claiming they fixed it but it still froze 3 times before lunch. Then I got the XXEMB1 update this morning and so far so good. I've been running Facebook and Google Chrome over wifi and mobile data with no lockups.

Quite right lenash, its the standard s3 keyboard which is renowned to be rubbish. On a side note I even bought swiftkey but it keeps deactivating itself. Just one of many issues ive noted since moving from the lt15i arc to the s3
Easy way to find out.
Browse Root with ES or Solid Explorer. Sort by modified date and browse /system/app etc..
You didn't provide enough information.
Who knows what it was.. and as you now know, the wrong place to ask.

I would love a detailed changed log, I was on I9300XXELLA before now i have updated today to I9300XXEMB1 the only thing i spotted was they added more bloatware Play Magazines & Play Music that I can't uninstall unless I root, and now taking Screenshots now feels glitchy!
