hello everyone
i have a question and i need help please
i live in EGYPT and and i'm going to travel to USA next week my question about updating my phone .. here in EGYPT last update is 2.3.5 ... so can i update my phone in USA and use the phone with new update after i come back to EGYPT !!!!
i dont think the u.s. has any further updates...i have the international version and live in the u.s. and had to flash updates with odin to get higher than 2.3.4
i'm working as a co-pilot so i travel alot so can i update my phone in any country and then use it in EGYPT ??!!

if you got i9100, you can update anywhere via odin and use the phone anywhere... because international unlocked version will work any sim any where. minus 3g data that might not work on every carriers.
if you want kies to do that [dont know why you want that] you have to be running europe / asia ROM as theese two are the most frequent updated.
Just checked Navifirm, the unbranded AUS and Telstra Portico ROM's are now available for download!!!
GO GET EM!!!
which benefits in what way??
What are the difference's between unbranded and branded beside's the boot splash screen and telstra apps?
On the unbranded AUS can you still achieve Telstra 4G?
My phone was imported from France, just curious.
Edit:
Nevermind just read your response in another topic
Edit 2:
Works perfectly, testing out camera. Trying not to think tooo highly of it, so I don't feel let down
Would you be able to upload the unbranded AUS ROM somewhere or point me at where I can still download it from now that Navifirm doesn't list it anymore?
I reflashed my Telstra branded phone to a Singapore variant due to problems trying to get a Vodafone SIM to function in a stable manner and although it seems to have fixed most of the problems I'm guessing an Australian ROM would be better seeing as it's running on Australian networks.
Many thanks
So its august, I'm still on 4.4.4. I still haven't received the update. I check every day. escpecially monday, cuz thats when they release updates for the alpha mainly.
my CSC is LUX

my g850f is unlocked UK and still don't have the 5.0 update. tried software update and kies. so you're not the only one. still sucks though
anyone know any way i can get 5.0 without voiding warranty? i'd want either an unlocked 5.0 or an EE 5.0 rom.

I've been waiting since februari, it's kinda frustrating. especially since Alpha is supposed to get the 5.2 update this year. I mean it's already august and 5.0 still isn't here for my 850f. really?
yea it really sucks.

ok.
on sam mobile website there is:
a UK BTU 4.4.4 rom which i think is the one i have now, it's the latest one on the list which i have.
an EE 4.4.4 rom (no 5.0.2 roms unfortunately)
a H3G 5.0.2 rom
the EE and H3G roms have different CSC and PDA then mine, can i still use them? theyre both for g850f which is my phone. my phone is Unlocked UK. my network is EE and i was planning on getting EE 4.4.4 and hoping EE have updated it to 5.0.2 and update through the phone. if they havent i'll just get the H3G rom.
here are screenshots of my phone info:

thanks.
I couldn't wait anymore, I flashed 5.0.2, failed flashed modem of my 4.4.4 rom, works like a charm. Didn't have to factory reset. Good
The reason there still no Lollipop update for the Simfree Alpha in the UK is because EE as of yet still not released it for the Alpha.
Until they do Samsung will continue to hold back the BTU Lollipop update.
All four UK major networks have priority because that where Samsung makes most of it's money selling these phones to the networks, simfree users only make up a very small amount of the market hence why we always put on the back burner when it comes to updates.
So it's October and I am still on 4.4.4. No update for galaxy a500g. I wish that m€£#^@er shamesung meet the same fate as Nokia.
I got my wife a E2306 (16bg) for Christmas. I charged it, updated the firmware then put in her Tmo (USA) sim card. It says the firmware is up to date but she's only on A.2.99 and from what I've read on this forum and the Sony site, she should be on A.2.167. Do you know if this is due to being in the U.S. or something else? Do I just have to flash the latest firmware to it? Not looking to ROM or root her phone. It's an unlocked model so it shouldn't have to do with my carrier. Especially since I updated prior to putting in the SIM for the first time.
In USA, the latest available firmware is 2.99, so your phone is up to date. You could flash a firmware from another country if you'd like to have a 2.167 version. Use Xperiafirm to check the available versions from the diferent countries for your model.
Thank you!
As Pie is being distributed, the UK are still waiting for their 'slice' of pie. I am on EE (T-Mobile) can I download another countries ROM? I did flash a different country ROM on my S7 years ago and it worked fine but just wondering if anyone has tried it with Pie?

I've flashed the German version (crl1) and working fine but I am on the international device (BTU) so you might need a different version? Sorry I can't be more sure!
If you can find the right version then research how to use Odin and download the software from Sammobile.
Last thing is when it is released in the UK, you will need fo ensure you flash back to a UK version to recieve OTA updates going forward
