Hello I just bought my new Gear S here in Indonesia cuz its pretty cheap here round about 260$
Now I have red in many boards that there are a lot of updates going on in many different countries.
I am from Germany... is it possible to root or I don't know anyting else so that I can update my gear normal with the gear manager when I am in Germany again or do I have to firmware or update it manually every time? I have saw that there is already a new tizen version out 2.2.1.4 where whatsapp answers from the gear is possible...
Thanks anyway for helping me.
My gear Softwareversion is: R750XXU1BNJC
My phone: Galaxy S4 Android version 4.4.2
you can search on web for samsung updates site, install the ROM for Germany for you device and from then always you will update automatically via OTA. i bought it from QATAR, installed the ROM from Europe..and now its like a watch bought from europe...

Yap just SM-R750
in GEAR MANAGER you can see the variant and the software of the GEAR device. than go ahead with ODIN and flash the German version. but read 2-3 times the guide...to be sure you have everything you need.
So i can take directly the newest german version...
yeas. through ODIN flash the latest German version from sammobile

Dear bogdan_wrc, i have the Gear S T-Mobile, SM-R750T, could i also update it with Vietnamese firmware? Cause although i have the unlock code from T-Mobile, and unlock it successfully, but the Gear S don't recognize any Vietnam Carrier SIM card. I heard that is because the GSM bands. T-mobile support 850/1900, while all VN Carriers are 900/1800. (i post about my issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gea...llowed-mm6-t3028461/post58799921#post58799921)

I got a 10.1 3G version today in the UK and the first thing I did was a KIES update.
The firmware that's now installed is P7500BUKI1 (Bravo Uniform Kilo India One).
I've done a google and can only find one reference to this firmware, is it brand new?
I've also done a google search and a search here for how to dump a firmware and can't seem to find a useful howto, could someone point me at one possibly?
Thanks
Would be great if you could find a way to get the firmware uploaded - been trying to get the tab back to a stock UK firmware for a while now!
Does Kies not store the downloaded firmware?
I found out how to do a CWM backup so have done one and now have a fullset of .img files.
If someone can point me at a howto to extract them I can try to put together a recovery zip for you.
ok cheers. I tried to do a quick search to see if I could help, but I can't!
Is yours a carrier version? Is the CSC XEU or did you buy a Tab in the UK that's from another country? Mine's an October build and this is what shows in Kies:
PDA:KHD / PHONE:KG1 / CSC:KH3 (XEU)
There aren't any updates available which is unusual if they've already started shipping units with a newer build. Is the new ROM 3.1 or 3.2?

KI1 is a September build, it is Android 3.1. I have been running Italian (ITV) KI1 firmware for some time already and it is really smooth.
If you can give us more information then we probably can find this firmware on Samsung servers.
Please post the contents of following files (you don't need root to access these files, you just need a file explorer):

KH3 XEU was just released three weeks ago on the delayed 32GB and 64GB P7500's that were all built in October. What OP received is probably that update (along with carrier customizations) that's being pushed out to Vodafone Tabs. This is especially true if it's 3.1. I'd guess the next general XEU update will be to 3.2.

I know, and it is exactly what I need so that I can get my tab back to the stock XEU firmware that I have spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get!

Hi,
I bought my SGS 2 on ebay. The phone is unlocked, but was on Vodafone and hence have Vodafone apps which won't work anyway.
I'm using a TESCO SIM which basically uses O2.
Now my question is how can I update to ICS.
Since the phone is vodafone branded but now on TESCO/O2 SIM, please help me updating to ICS.
I cannot use the generic from Samsung KIES as the current firmware is from Voda and cannot use Voda update as I'm not using thier network.
Phone details are
PDA:I9100BUKJ3
Phone: I9100BUKI1
CSC:I9100VODKI2
thanks
Arun

You wait for Vodaphone to push the update out .
Or you start reading and searching and use the Samsung stock ICS firmware if you want ICS NOW .
Millions of posts asking the same question not hard to find .

you could try to check if have "I9100" model, not the "19100G" or other variants, then you can start from there.
if you're have "I9100" then generic roms would be fine. (LPQ, LP7, LP2)

Thanks For the reply.
I'm planning to do this
1. Debrand to generic UK ROM that is 2.6.4
2. Go to KIES get the ISC.
Please let me know if this will work ?
Also Please let me know which UK Generic ROM 2.6.4 can I use. I'm confused looking at the Inrtatech's post. Not sure what they are ? Please point me to the exact one please.
Thanks

Their is no exact one ..
If you really must have ICS then download a latest version stock from .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559170
You really only have two choices KIES updates as and when you get them .
Or XDA developers forum flash stock roms via Odin on day of release .
two methods dont really mix and match .
GB 8/10 ICS current release 3/10 not good enough for my phone .

based on your original post, you want to update to ICS, now you're saying "2.6.4", there's no such thing as "2.6.4", do you mean 2.3.6?
if you want to debrand and update to ICS, there's no need to install 2.3.6, you can install ICS and wipe your data, and you're good to go.
for are i think 3 stable versions of ICS, LPQ(which is UK), LP7(indonesia) and LP2 (russia) if you really want a UK version, use LPQ(but i has an sms bug which sends sms twice when using 3rd party apps).
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II i9100G bought in China in March, now I am back to my country in Europe, and I would like to put a European Android version into it, but it seems to be impossible. There is a block in my phone, which doesn't let to run any other android than Chinese.
Do you have any idea how to handle this?

Thank you very much. In that case I have to buy a new phone(( because the Chinese version is censored and full of restrictions, so it is impossible to use it normally in Europe.

I cant use google play - they were finally able to put it to my phone here, but it doesnt work, says "server problem".
I can not watch youtube video.
Skype runs very strange
It just doesn't write my number here, so when I am calling somebody its always an "unknown" number...
So it is a little bit troublesome, I think if I had a European android, it would be a lot better.And what is more, in my country only i9100 is selled, so there is no programs and updates for i9100G.(I thought that I have a i9100, i was told in the phone service that I don't...).

try flashing the latest chinese rom and check if it fixes the prob
In China this things are not allowed to use.(like youtube, androidmarket, google, facebook, etc).
So the only solution would be to put a non chinese android into it, but if you too say that it is not posibble, then I dont have any other choice that buy a new phone in europe.
Before I bought my phone I asked phone-experts in my country, and I was told that if its and android phone, it can be easily updated with my countries android software if I came back. They didn't know that you cant do this with a Chinese phone.
I have studied in China, but for sure, I will never ever buy anything valuable for a long-term there anymore.
Thank your very very much for the information and for your help!:victory::laugh:

If i were you, I would go to www.sammobile.com and type in my device model and see what android versions come up. You might find a european G android version. Then all you have to do is flash the firmware through odin

he is having a chinese g variant which is different one other g variants so if he flashes the firmware for international g varaint they he will semi brick his phone
it doesn't run any other android than Chinese, the service guy told me that they tried all the non-Chinese Ice Cream Sandwiches, and older versions of android as well, and none of them worked.
Now I am happy that they didn't manage to do this, because I don't want to brick my phone(i suppose it means something bad), I think someone can use this happily in China, because it works perfect.
So the best choice would be to sell my phone in china, and buy a new one (i9100) in Europe

Hey guys, I am new to the S3 and Andriod as I used to be an iPhone user before. I bought a GT-i9300 from Hong Kong and brought it back to Canada and cant seem to get any software updates. I am currently sitting at build number I9300ZSALG3, just wondering if anyone could help me out doing an OTA update or via Kies or if this is the latest version. My baseband version is I9300XXLG3

Your firmware is from Taiwan..and for it the latest version is what you are currently using..however you dont need to wait for updates you can download firmware for United Kingdom the latest is I9300XXBLG8..you can download it from here..
http://samsung-updates.com/get/58/Samsung_Firmware_GT-I9300_BTU_I9300XXBLG8_Android_4_0_4.html
then flash it via odin...search these threads for the method to do so..
Hi man, Unlike iphone,offical rom is always the worst one.It usually uses more memory and have bad battery management.You can try another rom such as mike's.

Thank you! I am not too familiar with flashing with Android again because it is something new and if anything were to happen I wouldn't know how to fix it since I have been an iPhone user. Is flashing firmware any different from jailbreaking the iPhone? - in terms of being safer. Also, how can I be 100% sure that the UK version will work on my phone as well as keep my unlock.

Flashing the firmware is 100% safe if you follow the steps..it does not root your phone so it is not jailbreaking...so you will also not loose your warranty...
the firmwares are almost the same for every region, samsung being an a***le released different firmwares for different regions with different CSC....
but i am quite sure it will work on you region as you are already using Taiwan firmware in Canada...in any case download the Taiwan specific firmware also..so if anything goes wrong you can revert back...
by the way I am in India using BTU firmware..
Me too...
Along the same lines, I have an I-9300 sgs3 with South Africa firmware (XFE), i9300xxale9, but I'm using it in the United States, on AT&T, and am not able to receive updates thru either Kies or Update menu. I will NOT be traveling outside the US anytime soon. What should I load that would let me receive updates here in the States OTA?
I bought Gear fit off ebay and it happens to be international edition. The entire system is in Japanese.
I have a OnePlus one and Nexus 5. When I tried installing Openfit, the geat fit pairs and connects but it is still in Japanese.
I tried updating the software by booting the device into download mode and flashing it with the newest firmware from samsung-updates.com but the system is still in Japanese!
When I try pairing the device to a "Samsung" device then it works just fine, it tends to adopt the language of the phone. But I don't have a Samsung device for me to use.
How can I completely erase the Japanese firmware on it and flash it with a clean US version? Is there a way to install a custom firmware or anything like that?
Thank you for your help
Any luck yet?
I'm in the same boat as you, just wondering if you've made any discoveries yet?
Couldn't find any solution. The only possible way is to pair it with a Samsung:/

There has to be a way to flash it directly, how else did Samsung get the firmware on? The firmware should be on their opensource release center.

Im in the same boat. Mine is German. link to Samsung uk Note 4 and changes to English.
As soon as I disconnect it goes back to German!
