NB6 or NA7 which ROM is really newer ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I read here that someone told that the NA7 ROM in fact is newer than the NB6 ROM but I don't found the thread with this discussion any more.
I know that NB6 is released in february and NA7 in january, but could this guy be right ?
His example was that for example the code of a vodafone ROM released in april could be older that the "actual" branding free code released in february.

NB6 2014/02 revision 6
NA7 2014/01revision 7
obviously NB6 is New!!

This information copied from rootSU stickies also explains how to work out your version of baseband/rom
How to work out when your baseband / ROM was released.
1) Take the last 3 characters from the name.
2) Compare the first of these characters against the below to get the year
L=2012
M=2013
N=2014
3) Compare the second of these characters against the below to get the month
A=January
B=February
C= March
D=April
E=May
F=June
G=July
H=August
J=September
K=October
L=November
k=December
4) take the last of the 3 characters and compare against the below to get the revision number
1=Revision 1
2=Revision 2
3=Revision 3
4=Revision 4
5=Revision 5
6=Revision 6
7=Revision 7
8=Revision 8
9=Revision 9
A=Revision 10
B=Revision 11
C=Revision 12
D=Revision 13
E=Revision 14
F=Revision 15
etc
example:
MG4 = 2013 - July - Revision 4
Hope that helps

new != better

[Q] 2.3.4 in Kies (DBT)

Guys, Sorry if this is too early to ask this question..
Any idea when GS2, Gingerbread 2.3.4 update will come in Kies?
Thanks
2.3.4 is not yet released by Samsung when it is released over Kies depends upon product code and phone supplier one week to six months .
KG1 2.3.4 is a leaked test release only
KG2 is 2.3.3 not 2.3.4 .
jje
According to a tweet by samfirmware yesterday 2.3.4 is due to be released via kies this month only. They did not clarify which region will come first though.

From previous experience on i9000, usually Europe will get it first, followed by Asia...

i hope UK willl get it first....
reading this quote, i will not try the leaked version it could still be incomplete, who knows
Leaked version is working perfect for me no problems very happy!!
...And it doesn't seem to turn the screen on when I receive an email like some of the later 2.3.3 builds did.
Battery life not spectacularly better than before, but I had few complaints on that score anyway.
..
hmmm...ive a DBT version...got the Ke7 update last week only via kies.! so may b another 3 months for sure.
well i can tell one thing for certain, kg1 will be released in july.
samsung's release names start with a "k", then the release month, then the absolute number of the release that given month, so "g" being the 7th letter it will be released in july, just like the "kf" builds came out in june and the "ke" builds came out in may. however, this does not necessarily mean, it will be the 2.3.4 version that was leaked, or if and when it will come to any region.
how would anyone predict the release date of a build correctly? there was a test build now, that has a lot of issues. now they need to address these issues. they certainly follow forums like this one. even samsung employee's couldn't tell you, when it will come out, since it is not yet finished.
KG2 = 2.3.3 released .

Why won't my Mate 10 update??

I just bought a Chinese version BLA-TL100 but running L29 software. I bought it used and received it today.
I look under info and says it has October 1st security patch but my build number is 8.0.0.145(C636) and when I Google that build number it's showing sometime around july-august update?
When I check for updates it says I'm already up to date.
Am I on the latest update?

That's the latest build for your region (C636).
That's Asian region and both build and patch are the latest so you're good.
OK, let me ask this question. What mate 10 model has a later version then me?
L09 or?
I'm asking is cause my intentions was to buy the model/version that received updates the fastest.
Not sure if matters but I'm in the USA
what is the last firmware build for C636 ?

What's up with MIUI version numbering?

I can see from the firmware listings below that the Redmi K20/Mi9T Pro is on a cluster-fudge of different version numbers:
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/raphael/
Global: V11.0.2.0
China: V11.0.5.0
Russia: V11.0.1.0
India: V11.0.3.0
EEA: V11.0.4.0
Are these numbers incremental?
The release schedule shows the latest updates hit the channels for Global and EEA on 10th January. Their update versions are 11.0.2.0 and 11.0.4.0 respectively. On the above website the changelogs are similar for both. I'd assume that this could be the same update just numbered differently given it was released the same day on both channels; though it could also imply the Global channel is two updates behind. Which is it?
I can understand Chinese updates being newer but are all other regions on a wild mish-mash of versions
Edit: My best guess from what I've seen now is that the same update is released for India, China, EEA and Global with various commits added or removed - and in that region order going by dates. The current Russia update is clearly still on the initial MIUI11 update; not the second on the other four channels
It used to be much more f'd up than that before. They used to number latest version with lower number. For example their 9.xx.xx versions were latest and 10.xx.xx versions were older.
At least now they use the same base numbers and are incremental. lol

This isn't strictly true.
Stable ROMs are numbered as per standard, ie. Major version.minor version.build
So currently we're on major version 11, this is the first version of 11, so the minor version is still 0. The regional versions are on different build numbers though. China is on the highest build, 5. Therefore the latest stable Chinese release is 11.0.5.
Beta versions use a different system. The beta version numbers are based on the date of release, rather than actual release versions and are year.month.day. Last year, they used the final digit for the year. E.g. A beta version released on the 15th Dec 2019 would have build number of 9.12.15.
Since the new year, to avoid having the version number starting with zero, they have moved to using the last 2 digits for the year. So now e.g. A beta version released on 15th Jan 2020 would have a build number of 20.1.15
All this only explains for observation of differences between stable and beta releases. As for the OP question of differences between the stable release versions of the different regions, unfortunately I've yet to come across any insight in to the differences of versions numbers across the regions.

Yea, I said it used to be. And the beta versioning system still sounds all messed up. People will have a hard time to understand why they are doing this.

It basically depends upon the laziness of developers of those regions.

Looks ok as UK version. Download Hisuite to your computer and use it to upgrade. I am on EE and current software is Android 10 with 1 May 2020 security patch. Although you should be able to update OTA using the phone software updater.
