1st of all my apologies - i wrote something similar already but i ve got too much different answers. Perhaps I wasnt accurate enough. So once again cos this problem is important for me.
SO :
I moved from London to Turkey for longer term. After 6 months from my HTC registration, my next registration was refused and I was forced to buy here - in Turkey - new phone Samsung S III. I rooted it, did my customisation and left it as is even im phone maniac.
Maybe somebody knows that using m. phone in Turkey is little different than on the West. All is under heavy control and registrations. From this reason Im writting this question.
- I want to upgrade from 4.2.1 to 4.3. But I want ENGLISH FW not TURKISH ( I know I can switch languague - im not talking about it). ( On SamMobile turkish is pending but englsh is out already).
Question is : Can I upgrade TURKISH phone with ENGLISH FW without danger Ill be facing some problems or disconnecting even?
( again Im not talking about warrancy - its lost together with root)
Reason : Im moving back to London in 2 years. + I want continue to use my phone under 4.3 here and in england as well ( KitKat is waiting with same problem)
Summary : Can I upgrade TURKISH phone ( bouhgt in Istanbul) from 4.2.1. to 4.3 - English FW??
Thank you very much for your answers - i really need advice even this problem look easy in the first sight...but it isnt.

Summary : Can I upgrade TURKISH phone ( bouhgt in Istanbul) from 4.2.1. to 4.3 - English FW??
Yes when UK 4.3 is released .
PS for 100% understanding :
I bought this model in Istanbul but due the fact I must fulfil my work here plus I got married here, Im returning 2 years later. Si my question is exactly :
Will my phone work in Turkey and later in England ?( in England I can do lot of things with my phone, only here - in Istanbul - Im little worried cos of unexpected and hidden rules of providers...my old HTC is proof. Lets say - Im upgrading not downgrading so IMEI and etc should be ok even thx to backup.
Of course new FW Ill root etc again.
Thank you for understanding...

This may be a stupid question, but I just can't find a straight answer anywhere, so hope you can help.
My problem is I bought an HTC radar C110ein JP hoping it'd get extensive language support like my IS12T, only to find out it was a HongKong unit with just English and Chinese display languages.
The issue is this was supposed to be a present for someone that can only speak Spanish.
I was suggested in another thread to load a stock ROM for Europe, but none match my current phone version (so it'd be a downgrade):
- Firmware: 1600.2200.20301.708
- RadioSofware: 16.23.03.17_16.27.00.23
- Bootloader: 2.3.160015.3(134621)
My questions are therefore:
- If I get one of these European stock ROMs, will I get also the language packs delivered by default in the European region (which include the one I want, Spanish)?
- Will my phone be updatable through the regular Zune channel afterwards?
- Should I rather get the newest, oldest, or it doesn't matter? (assuming I'll get the updates normally)

Could you please explain me how did you get that to work…
As I wrote elsewhere (link), I tried to transfer my phone with the European RUU/ROM, but unfortunately I get an error:
- "ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID"
Seems that it's not that easy to load a ROM from a different region even if the phone is unbranded... Any ideas as to how to get it done???
repeat .. it was a trophy ...
approximately as described in the post.

HI,
I Have Galaxy Tab 10.1 (First Generation) 3G And Wi-Fi, 16 GB, SimFree, Honeycomb 3.2, bought in Israel, in the celular company Pelephone (With Pelephone's ROM)
And i ask Samsung on facebook and no one answar me so I come to here.
When the device get the update and if i can do that by OTA, I need the official ROM by samsung or not ? and if yes there is the language Hebrew comes inside ? I so want to update to ICS because the Tab always crashed, and i make a factory rest 4 times from when i buy him !! i have it only 7 mouth, more or less.
I wait so long time to this update and i dont want to update by root and install ROM by recovery because i'm afraid to destroy my device, i comes from the iPhones world so i not a big understand on the Android world/
Thanks For Help And Sorry about my bad English
You should ask your carrier. They will be the ones that you get the update from, not Samsung.
Alright guys, I really hope I could get some help here as I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff and I'm pretty confused reading through the forums, so please your assistance will be highly appreciated..
I bought a Tab 10.1 here in Egypt back in April, though didn't get it from the dealer because it was like $100 more expensive than the place I bought it from, usually this stuff that we get without a warranty are either made for the UAE or Saudi Arabia, so I pretty much assumed that I had a UAE tab, it was on 3.1, I kept checking for updates ever since, it was never updated, not even once, so I looked up the updates on samsung-updates and turns out, the UAE version not only received 3.2, but it's also on 4.0.4 now, so I tried to find out the country of my tab, and to my surprise, it had the letters TGY, which turns out to be Hong Kong :S though even the TGY is on 4.0.4 too.
My question is, has this device been tampered with somehow?
And I don't wanna go into installing custom roms, I just wanna run the original Arabic 4.0.4 on it, how do I do that?
It's a P7500, Android 3.1, baseband P7500XXKI2
Hey guys,
I'm from Germany but currently for about 5 months in new zealand. I Judas to buy a new phone cause my old one decided to not charge anymore, so I decided for the Huawei P8.
-Carrier: 2degrees
-Buildnumber: GRA-L09C470B180
-Customversion: CUSTC183D001
-Android 5.0.1
-Region: Asia?
Now my question: Is there a way to change the firmware to an europe one? Cause of the regional infornation in the firnware. Are there any European Android M firmwares already leaked which I could install? (Best would be German but open for everything)
If I can't install an european one, are there any from Asia which are good with my requirements?
I would be very happy of someone could help me with that.
If there are any further questions adopt my phone I unanswered I'm very pleased to answer them!
Best regards
Hi everybody! I have just bought this phone (F3213) a week ago, I live in Peru and the firmware here (36.0.A.2.109), is full of trash apps that I can't eliminate.
I'd like to know if its possible to flash the last version (Generic LAM is 36.0.A.2.146), without any problems. I have seen that many people got their devices bricked during this process. I don't care about rooting, I only want to have my device updated and more space for myself.
Sorry for my bad English, thanks in advance :fingers-crossed::laugh:
