Hi all,
I bought my prime a year ago in the states, it was from the famous BCOKAS series, which never received any OTA updates due to the missing serial number issue. Manual updates worked until jelly bean, which totally bricked it, I got it fixed via RMA. The catch is that RMA was in Europe, and when I got my prime back, it was loaded with the "WW epad..." firmware version. Now I'd like to update from .15 to .18, but still not getting OTA. If I try manually, should I download the WW update or the US one?
Thanks!

Same thing happened to me after RMA (BCOKAS) - when I bought it I had WW version, but after RMA I got US version.
With a new SKU I also got well-known serial issue so I couldn't receive OTAs anymore, and unlock tool didn't work.
Since then I'm using US manual updates as I really don't see any difference between those two.

The main difference is the amount of wifi channels. The WW version has more available up the higher end.

Yes, that's right, but when I was on WW SKU my prime couldn't see any wireless network above 11th channel (stock version)...
Indeed, WW update worked. Thanks!

Hello.
I have a table 10.1 purchased in usa but i live in UK and my IP is london. Would I need vpn to look like I'm in the usa to get the Touchwiz update from tomorrow?

Same here. US tablet in Germany. Will report back tomorrow

Glad to hear I'm not the only one
Hopefully it'll work... I wonder how fast or slowly they'll roll out... I work in software and we never release on friday in case things go wrong!
Well ever if it isn't released Friday in the UK i'm sure you can update via odin or CWM once a copy becomes available on here.

I bought my Tab in the US a few weeks ago, and it just pulled down the touchwiz update this morning via wifi. Took a while to install, but first impressions are pretty good.
yeh ok nice
Just got the Update here , yay

Seems to depend on when you bought it, still no notification for me.
Did you try manually checking for it in the settings? When it was released in the US some people didn't get notifications and had to check manually.
same here...manual check said no update for your device...
wait and see...could not be long any more
MrLee
same problem here.... no update...
Still no update here...
weird, mine updated at 4am this morning. 32GB+dock from redcoon, BCOKAS06XXXX.
Did you get it through pre-order or in some physical shop? The TP is still impossible for me to find in Germany.
I got the ICS update this morning!
Preordered it on Nov. 17 from Amazon Germany and got it on Jan. 5.
I had it rooted before the upgrade and it upgraded without any problems.
Can't look up my serial number, because i'm at work now...
Hello there!
I just received my USA Transformer Prime (I am from Spain) and in 10 minutes or so I couldn't get it to see any OTA. Do USA OTAs work out of USA or do you have to connect from a USA IP?
Thank you very much
I would say this is something you should be able to tell us soon
Dont worry, it should update. I have a US prime but I live in the UAE and I am on .13 now...and hope to get .14 soon! The first update came just a day after I switched it on.

Technically you can. Here is how:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492887
That being said, I DO NOT recommend this method because you don't know how it might affect future OTAs. Honestly .13 was more or less a beta test and .14 just got release which fixes a lot of the problems in .13 so just wait a couple of days.
It doesn't seem to get any OTAs. I started in Honeycomb and it never told me to update, so I followed Gary Key's instructions ad updated manually via MicroSD. Now I am running .13.
Manual updates work perfectly, but it seems OTA doesn't. I hope they release .14 on the web soon (as I don't want to force update via blob just yet)
Thanks!
It works fine here in the UK.
I bought my TP in USA and i live in Argentina(South America). I downloaded all the other OTAs with no problem.

Long story short, I am using a UK Xperia S however I'm in Canada.
I installed the Sony PC companion but it's not detecting any updates. I even tried changing my location to UK on the program but does not make a difference.
Is there any way to get this update without having to use the flashtool in the android development section?
Anybody else have this problem using the phone in a country that officially does not have it yet?
Sorry if its of topic but where did u buy yours? And how much including taxes?

Negri electronics online.
Roughly came to $679 including overnight delivery. (plus US customs taxes of around $37)
There are cheaper places to order the phone but I am extremely happy with Negri's service. Phone was delivered to my door less than 24 hours of placing the order online.

ordered mine from them as well, ordered it on the 13, but they didnt have any units when i ordered it, and they got some today and already shipped my order, getting it on the 16th
Edit: as for updating the phone, why don't you just flash the file posted by bin4ry, and i don't think sony pc companion works like that, when it updates, it just checks ur build.prop for the firmware you have and releases the update based on that
hey i am in Toronto as well XD
I don't have problem on update, i just plugin and it notify me that i can update right away.

Really? That's odd, maybe I already have the latest version.
How can I check? Thanks
Hey guys, I ordered from Negri too, also in Canada. Victoria, BC
Mine was the Singapore version, updated to .67 right away, although I am thinking of flashing to the UK version. What is pre loaded with it?
My build version is 6.0.A.3.62 so it's the older version, so why isn't Sony companion updating my phone?

Other than all the PlayStation apps, there's no difference.

I think I may have the singapore version, I always thought I had the UK version.
How can you tell them apart?
Anyway mine won't update either, keeps saying I have the latest version already.

I have the Singapore version as well and checked in the service centre and they said .62 is the latest here and .67 isn't released yet here.
If you are in .67, most probably you might be in the UK version.

mines .62
I have the Singapore version and can't receive the update =(
P.S. I am in Toronto.
so what's causing the singapore version to block the update?
will this affect future updates?
maybe its a good time to flash to the generic .67 firmware.

I ask the person in sony, and she said not everyone get the update at the same time, so we should wait for it.

I got the playstation store .apk file from the android development section so now it's on my xperia s anyway.
I should clarify that it was Seus that updgraded, wasn't on the device.
Can you d/l the playstation games? I thought you couldn't unless you were in the country they were released?
Hi
I wanted to know in which countries the release 5 update has been rolled out...?
I have not got in india...?
Any idea plz reply..
Thanks
In the US and some say it has been rolled out in India
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda app-developers app
still not in the netherlands
A few received OTA in India last week - Europe normal gets the rollout about a week - 10 after the US, atleast going by past updates.
Changed region to India and no action at all. India is in ST006 so NZ AUS Hong Kong etc would get at the same time.... Going by past updates anyway. ICS original came through at 11pm local time for me which was 2pm Hong Kong (I think).
My guess is that the people in India had changed theirs to US or had US tabs....
Also could not find a URL for this, hence changing to India region.
I agree with the roll out, everyone had ICS within the end of the next month (May). So wasn't too bad
Stifilz
Thanks for the replies...
I guess its not yet available in india mayb many of them have chaanged their region to usa so they are getting the update since mine is an unrooted tab I havnt got the update when I checked in the system update
Thanks again all for confirming my doubt
tablet in different country
got my tablet in India but I live in USA. Will I get the update when it is available for Indian customers(or will I have to somehow connect to their Indian server)? Theoretically I should but because of a very bad experience with Sony recently I am just not sure. Can anyone tell me that?

I really dunno y americans are always lucky in everything related to updates....and remaining countries will have no clue wen they wil get it....but always wait n watch for months
sony support
I contacted sony support and they confused the hell out of me. Made me format my tab.
I contacted them through a contact on phone and they actually said that it is a global update and i should be able to update it so thought that my tab was abandoned because some kind of lack of contact to Indian servers. This thread told confirmed my suspicion that it was not not a global launch.
Thank you for that. The support is bad to say the least.
