Hi guys,
I got a galaxy note a few weeks ago and heard about the official ICS release. I do have a dilemma.
Before the problem, here's a few things you should need to know:
1. Not a rooter (cos im scared hehe)
2. I checked my product code and it says its from Switzerland.
3. I use my phone here in the Philippines.
Here's the dilemma:
ICS is now released here in the Ph and when I checked OTA and Kies I dont have any updates. Is this because my product code is Switzerland? Also, when i go to Tools>Firmware upgrade and initialization it says that GT-N7000 does not support initializing. Again does this have something to do with my product code?
I do hope that you guys can help me, upgrading to ICS isnt that big a deal for me, but I'd really like to have the option of having my phone receive and implement updates and upgrades.
Thanks!

Can anyone even point to a page.
I have a AT&T Galaxy Note that is unlocked for use on T-Mobile, and want to do update to Jellybean but all I can find is ICS, and all the links for ICS warn about this update, I found many...does anyone know which one is the best for update to ICS with AT&T Galaxy Note for T-Mobile service??
I don't want to brick this phone so I'm hoping someone has already done this? and knows which is the best setup for success.
I have done a search on this and have so many to choose from?...makes me dizzy!! LOL!...this will be my first time doing this so experience is minimal at best...
Hey guys,
Saw a very good deal on ebay india, the seller is selling an unlocked version Note - 3 T-mobile (US), so it can work on Indian GSM carriers.
Now, if you see the description: it mentions:
"The OS Software is Unlocked to Work with all GSM SIMS.
You are not supposed to Update the OS Software as Unlock code is applied to it"
2 quick questions:
1) Can you help me understand what does the seller mean here? The device will obviously be running on JB, so i wont be able to update it to the officially released Kitkat? Will manually flashing a firmware from say Sammobile, revert the unlock code and make the device useless?
2) Buying a US phone for Indian use.. Will i miss out on any features? or will it be a problem in any way??
Please help me out guys
Hello. Very quick question I'm hoping someone might be able to answer definitively. I picked up a Galaxy Note 3 Neo today (model SM-N507) which is the Taiwanese version. It has only been updated to 4.3 whereas some other territories are on 4.4.X. My question is, would it be possible to flash one of the Official Firmware builds from Sammobile and NOT risk bricking the phone?
For example, in the event that the flashed build has different LTE bands, would a problem like this actually brick the phone, or would I (theoretically) be able to use it, just without LTE? I am willing to experiment so to speak, so long as it doesn't actually prevent me from using the device.
In the past I had purchased a Hong Kong Galaxy Tab 7.7 that wasn't updated to JellyBean and flashed a Malaysian Firmware without a hitch, but in said case the model numbers were the same. With this, I would be flashing SM-N505 or such.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
