Someone on mobilesyrup said his Telus Note was updated a few minutes ago. If he was telling the truth or not? I do not know. For some reason my Note (Bell) says that it cannot be updated through Kies. Anybody else have that?
I'll check as soon as I get home. I'll plug ill use Kies. Question: do i need to back everything, will it delete all my data?
Send from the Noteorious BIG 5.3" Bell Canada
Can't we just get it ota without using kies?
Whoever gets it for bell please update us so I can flash back to stock and update.
Thanks.

maybe if you're running a canadian ROM like for Rogers or Bell.
Neither Kies nor OTA showed an update for me last night (Bell Note). I'll try again later today I guess.
I'm currently on Telus. No update OTA or using Kies. Telus Note cant have software upgraded through Kies. It's not supported...
Anyone apart from the Uk and Vodaphone customers got the message to update firmware?
Im uk and on 3 and got it
Not sure if you meant uk/vodafone or uk and vodafone so posted anyway!
Is this a new update or the one which came out last week for unlocked uk? whats the version?

They must be doing it via IMEI as I'm on 3 and don't see any update and mine was a pre-ordered handset on uk release.
I'm on build ALE8 and I know there's been an update to fix done bugs out a while now.
I'm on 3 UK and am still waiting for the update here in UK.
Is anyone else on 3 our other networks still waiting?
Also for the people who have it, does it fix anything that's you've found?
Cheers
I am and got bored of waiting for the update so just flashed the latest firmware.
Home screen seems to load better and multitasking seems better, was getting the browser reloading the page on ALE8 but on LF2 it generally doesnt reload and carries on were you left off
3 are upgrading their transmitters down here in S.E Kent. Been without Internet for nearly a week. They might roll out the latest update after that. Was told the upgrade was to speed up Internet speeds.

I don't think a software update will be held back because of now transmitters going up in one part of the country though
As above, I also got tired of waiting and flashed an unbranded firmware. Highly recommended as you won't have to wait for 3 to pull their fingers out every time an update comes out!
Asked 3 UK in timing they said standard answer...its in testing won't be long...
But why are they behind everyone else on release. I have an S3 it's branded but all that has is a 3 startup and shutdown screen
Where can I get a unbranded firmware for it? Would like the 3 stuff done and the update.

Orange UK have not released it either, the networks will have to mess it up first by adding there bloatware.

a few questions:
would switching over to the unbranded firmware stop future OTA updates (if three ever get around to doing them)?
would it void the warranty?
i'm right in assuming we'd still be able to flash back to a branded firmware correct?
cheers.

I'd be interested to know what bloatware you have on your Orange Rom. I don;t have anything on mine apart from a custom boot screen. I may be wrong here, but I think with the situation as bad as it has been for carriers giving updates, that Samsung has decided to take charge and IT will add the Carriers boot screen for them and then IT will send out the update.
Fingers crossed. Of course you could just flash. I just checked over my Orange insurance and it mentions nothing about breaking warranty if I modify the firmware, only if what I do breaks the phone.

Guys,
Just a quick question, I bought a sim free S3, and would like to update to 4.1.2. Do I download the BTU version as I didn't buy the phone from a carrier?
Also, what does BTU stand for?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yep BTU will work fine.
But if you aren't rooted, wait a few hours and it will come OTA

Mega annoyed... They haven't branded any of my smartphones before. Stayed on it for now as was able to remove most stuff without root. Will consider unbranded once flashing procedure is more stable.

yeah all my previous smartphones never had o2 branding before as well was shocked tho that they did so on the ZU
The branding is done directly from Sony. The branding can be changed with a three line change in the build prop, and then a restore in Sony PC Companion, its the easiest unbranding I have ever done.

You need root to mess with the build.prop, or just change the one on your phone with the one included below, make sure the permissions are the same and then restart the phone, open Sony PC Companion and repair your phone, it will reflash with the stock unbranded firmware.
