502 lollipop for france is out for g850f.
i have a question - there is a chain or a specific path that samsung follow for releasing updates in specific regions?
to be more specific when lollipop arrives in romania for galaxy alpha g850f?
i saw that orange lollipop has been released for g850f in romania, but for the unlocked variant is still missing!
if someone has any idea about region releases, please post some details and i will give a BIG THANKS!
michael
no one?
somebody? any clues?
WTF?
There is no Orange Lollipop ... there is only a late update to KITKAT from Orange Romania that as usual is the crappiest mobile provider ever!
yep, sorry, my bad!
i saw something wrong.
still, about when will the update drops nearby, from first french release, there is a country pattern or something?
Nope, it could be hours, days, weeks, months depending on the mobile providers. The France release could be a test phase and after if results are positive they could go global.
Problems with software could lengthen the process and the recent apps button bug that some experienced is bound to do just that.
Or you could update to lollipop with odin. But so far only the french version is out.
5.0.2 is out in france. You can download the update from sammobile.com. Go to their site, search for galaxy alpha in firmware section, then follow the links to download it. When done, follow the tutorial on how to install odin and drivers for windows PC.I did this, first try and worked like a charm. I'm using 'international' 850F. It's really a simple procedure.
yes, but...
i have installed the french version, but i need my country version when comes out from the motive that i hope is less buggy...
there are tests now to ensure the other versions are bugless, but i dont know how many weeks we must wait for.
in the end they will push the 5.1.1 update, cuz 5.0.2 is difficult to make it clean considering google got issues too with him
when on android we have to be able to control oure frustrations regarding updates, especially from oure carriers ...so...
KEEP CALM AND WAIT FOR IT cuz im not calm and im reconsider my next strategy of buying future phone
anyone with some news about when lollipop is released in other regions? ...for G850F
there are 2 weeks from france release?
how much do we have to wait?
i hope not another 2...
The best sourse for news remains Sammobile. When the update is ready, it will be posted there. We just have to have patience.

It is carrier specific. The french version is basically a test release to the public and all carriers get the same firmware. It is up to them to release that version related to them.
Basically dont blame samsung, ask your carrier when it will be released
what carrier? i'm a free carrier user! i relay on a carrier just with contract but phone was bought from shop. i can choose any carrier i want! so... who gives the updates for unlocked phones? it's samsung, i think.
corret me if not

Your csc is your carrier since thats what you were asking for, in my case my unbranded DBT alpha still has to wait for debital, the german unbranded version.
Also since you dont care, then you have your version with the french release.

Doesnt matter, it will work on the SM-G850F regardless and its a new build. Plus this is a thread about Region updates.
I would flash but I dont have time at the moment but I am sure its featured with multiple CSC's so it should not effect the use to anyones area. All SM-G850F have the same hardware and features. The difference in CSC are region tailored with specific bloatware and minor differences like lockscreen shortcuts and signal icons (some use LTE and others will have 4G). Most importantly this build has a new changelog which means Samsung may have fixed some issues with the French build.
Can i get it on danish?

Helloo,
So, if i flash the new UAE, can i still get everything on Danish? I mean, is there multiple language on? English would be fine too ..
Another thing, would this trigger knox? Thinking its not a custom, but a official ROM from Samsung, so it shouldn't trigger, am i right or?
I haven't flashed it yet but I believe it will have all supported languages. It won't trip Knox as long as its official from Samsung it won't touch knox.

This package is for the Sprint Galaxy S5 (SM-G900P) only. Your device, your responsibility - not ours.
Do not flash this if you do not know what you are doing or have any doubts/concerns about doing something unofficial.
This is a test build so understand YMMV and any use of this is at your own risk without official support available.

This is a test build for the Sprint S5. This will not be the OTA release and may have issues.
Nevertheless... it is Lollipop.
I've tested calls, SMS and other functions and they seem to work.
I have not tested all of the sensors and their functions.
I'm also releasing this as a full restore only so it will wipe data.

2) Open Odin (I tested using 3.04 and 3.07)
3) Extract tar.md5 file and select in PDA slot.
4) Start Flash and wait for process to complete. (You will see 2 reboots in the process)

Root Information & Other Notes
Rooting Information
Thanks to Chainfire's assistance a CF Auto Root package is available for this build.
You can download it by clicking here.
During testing SuperSU did not pick up that it stuck properly initially.
After KNOX started throwing the warnings it finally settled in. So you may need to play with it to get it to work.
This will likely be the case until an official Lollipop build is released so again, you're warned in advance.
Other Notes:
I cannot stress this enough - these sources took a very significant risk in providing this to the public and helping verify it.
And while we're thankful for it, this is the only 5.0 leak I will post prior to an official release.
Let's not get greedy and let's not get these sources in trouble.

@garwynn Any idea on how to deodex Lollipop apk?
Well Sammobile linked you up, so this is going to catch fire pretty quickly in the news as it'll get regurged by Android Central, AP, etc. I hope that doesn't put any pressure on your sources.
Thanks again. Was on ND4 stock, Used odin 3.09 to load this rom. So far so good. Too much white, though. Still testing stuff.
Is there anything of the new Samsung stuff included like theme choser or flow?
theoretically this version should work on international version also... both P &F have the same specs only diference from what is see is GSM bands...
Can someone upload the notocoloremoji font?

Sadly no, and word via sources is that Samsung is clamping down security. The attention this will attract will probably only tighten that grip.
My guess is the rom would work but you would have no data, modems are different.

There are some other h/w differences as we learned during CM bringup.
The ROM itself could probably run on other variants but would have dialer and a few other issues.
Someone may find a way to bring it to the other devices. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Wow. If this is real, Sprint could become the first in US to release the 7.0 update.

The info given at source (link above) looks quite valid:
- No CM14/AOSP 7.0 ROM availabel for G930P, so it must be official firmware in use here.
- RAM is down, and so are the benchmark scores, so this is a test build, not a fake 6.0 one.
What do you guys think?

Just wait and keep going into settings, system updates, and keep checking manually for the update, it took mine from last night to early this morning, or about 14 hours.

Did anyone get the official Nougat update on this model number SM-G930P yet?

Ditto. Been a while since we got another beta update. I am still not happy with the battery drain and the phone gets sluggish at times.

Exactly my thoughts, battery drain, memory leaks, apps force closing. I'm so done with this. Waiting for the official update now.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one experiencing the extreme lag after a period of time. It's to the point that I must restart every day for the phone to be useable. My phone gets downright lethargic after a few minutes sometimes if I'm using navigation (doesn't matter which app).
The battery drain is irritating...but jot nearly as bad as the lag.

Hi, I have also one Hong Kong variant bought by Internet.
I live in Spain and mostly of things works fine (only Samsung Pau and others small things don't work due to the different country).
I'm looking if it's possible to change the firm or CSC to another mostly European in order to have all of features available but I don't know if this is possible.
I know that GM-S9730 have Qualcomm inside and the others countries with Qualcomm are USA and Canada.
So could someone tell me if it's possible to use Spanish CSC over Hong Kong firmware or change to Canada (Multi-CSC) firmware?
Thanks in advance

It's not issue, it's feature of the region. The programs can do nothing, the setting appears and disappears from the menu in different regions and depends on the value in the configuration files in the CSC.
As for me, I long ago changed in contacts places a surname and a name. Now I don't need this setting.

same situation in Italy. Any chance to enable at least the VOLTE functionality?
(carrier aggregation 4x4 is too complex...)
Awesome to know for the update! I checked just two or three days ago and it wasn't on samfrew.com just yet (for GM-G9750). I'm going to have to use Odin to update because I unlocked my bootloader. First time owning a Samsung and using Odin. Anyone else in the same boat?
Edit: actually, using Smart Switch does seem a lot less like a pain in the butt than Odin, so I'll do that.
Edit 2: updating via Smart Switch was super easy and didn't take very long at all. I was worried I might get a factory reset and have to restore everything, but that was not the case.

Sony Xperia officially announced the Xperia 1 III software update instructions today. The new version of the Xperia 1 III system software 61.0.A.11.92 will be released soon.

Looks like just a security patch and nothing else. Too bad stubborn sony still does not post the changelog :/

You can check my video here for details
The version just showed up for me (Germany).
Installed it and it works fine. Will check for improvements later.
Hi,
Available yesterday afternoon in France (device bought through offical store), just after first smartphone siwtch on
No problems since.
Not sure if anyone else experienced it, but my battery life has been noticably better since this update.
What I noticed too is much worse gaming performance. I think they capped GPU clock too much. Many times it does not work in 120Hz at all.
Anyone know why the XQ-BC62 version is NOT getting any of the last two updates?
I received the "latest" available update a few minutes after setting up the phone. Actually is came while setting it up.

Did you flash your device with firmware of other region? This will result in not receiving any OTA update.

No I did not. I purchased from B&H the USA version and it is running factory installed software. While I was in the middle of setting it up the phone did receive an OTA update and subsequent checks state that the phone is "up to date". My current build = 61.0.A.11.23 which was released 3 weeks and 6 days ago.
But the latest build for the UK version = 61.0.A.11.92 and has been available for the last 17-19 days.
The fact that Sony doesn't list the fixes or changes in an update makes it nearly impossible to know if these two builds are basically the same or not.
The latest firmware for USA Version seems to be 61.0.A.11.23. Good luck for receiving OTA shortly!

Note that the 2 UK builds you see are for the 1IIIs sold by EE & O2 , which are tied to these networks. The 1 III not tied to any network, which I have, hasn't been updated as yet. Customized UK is still on 61.0.A.11.23. I'm still waiting for the update.

Thanks for the clarification. Being from the US I do not entirely know about all the various UK carriers.
Wow, what is going on with the Customized UK version? Wonder how long we're going to have to wait for 61.0.A.11.92
EDIT: Just got the update !
Got the 61.0.A.11.92 update today for my UK SIM free Xperia 1 iii today. Not sure what got updated.
So I was mucking around with the fone 20 minutes ago and it came through. I've updated, so now I'm going to go play around with it...
I received the .92 update today and it is stuck on "Installing 3/3"
rebooting does not help.
I did a factory reset. The update came down again. I did not install ANYTHING from backup at all.
The update is still stuck at 3/3.
Between Gmail being broken and now this I am thinking of sending it back as a piece of junk!
Does anyone have any suggestions for this update spinning endlessly?
UPDATE: I was able to connect the phone to my laptop and run Xperia Companion and it allowed me to download and install the .92 update even while the previous attempt was still spinning at 3/3. Sony needs to get THEIR POOP IN A GROUP! I am grateful for the Xperia Companion app but this should not be needed for a simple update! All of this is leaving a very sour taste in my mouth! This is 2021 and Android is a fairly mature platform. Nobody should have to go through all of this just to get their $$$$$$ phone running properly. If Sony cannot figure this stuff out...then it's time to QUIT just like LG did!!!
SO now I have to go through all my setup all over again. PITA
I got .92 this morning here in the US, on Verizon network no issues.
on tmobile in us. updated to .92 with no problems. step 3/3 does take time to instal, longer than 1/3 and 2/3

OK, how much longer? How long was I supposed to wait? After several minutes (I didn't time it) I gave up!
When I used the Xperia Companion it only took a few seconds just like 1/1 and 2/2.
如题，最近台版、港版、都已经更新了61.0.A.11.92系统，但是我并没有收到，不清楚是不是因为我刷了TW版本的固件所导致的

MOD EDIT: English Translation Below
As mentioned above, the 61.0.A.11.92 system has been updated recently in Taiwan and Hong Kong, but I did not receive it. I don’t know if it’s caused by flashing the TW version of the firmware.

I have the Hong Kong version, Sony ha not released any update, only one app update.
Well, XPERIA 1 III is a special model - if you flash firmware of OTHER REGION, you will not be receiving any OTA. I found this by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* - normally you can find your region code in 'Software Info'. If you flash other version, Phone Software Version will be GLOBAL-C2-user, not HK or TW.

That's interesting. I have mine showing "GLOBAL-C2 - user". But I also received the 61.0.A.11.92 OTA.
(I didn't flash, btw.)

Just bought a 2nd hand Xperia 1 III 512G in China .
Seller said it's from H.K. but I'm not sure since the charger plug is 2 pins - For China & Taiwan
Not the 3 pins - For UK & HK . The charger type # shown as - AC-0540-CN
Current software version 61.0.A.23.20 / GLOBAL-C2 - user
Have all the Google apps and that's the reason I have to buy 2nd hand HK version since Chinese version don't have al the Google apps
My question .
It's 3/23 ; I still did not get OTA for Android 12 . I think this phone might be flashed before it's with me
How will I know if the phone is original from HK or original China version and flashed the ' GLOBAL-C2 ' software .
you have the china version, if you have the hk version the adapter is AC-0540-hk or XQZ-UC11 and the android 12, its regional, hong kong already has the android 12 update along time ago. whether yours is hk or china, if its f/w flashed, it makes no different.
btw the hong kong version is also a chinese version, but it has googles.b

Google search the below, xxx is your Sony Product Code. Click on the link that starts with software.sonymobile.com, usually the first one.
Code:
sony xxx
example from your screenshot would be as below.
Code:
sony 43040280
Search for the product code number on that page. If it matches, look at the <name> field at the top to find out your region.
It looks like you have a Customized_CN product.
You have a Chinese region phone flashed with HK firmware. In this case you will not get OTA, as mentioned by other people in this forum who tried flashing other region firmware. They do not get OTA.
Yes , I do believe above is just the situation I'm facing . What I don't understand is
Current version of 61.0.A.23.20 were OTA updated from earlier version when I go the phone and reset everything
Since I can get last OTA ; Why I can't get the Android 12 OTA
Is it possible you got scammed/lied to? That your phone is actually a China region phone with China region firmware. If it is then the behavior described above makes sense. As seen in the link below, the China region firmware was on the same version you are stuck on before receiving their Android 12 update.

The China version only recently got the Android 12 update. And according to Chinese message board sources mentioned from:
New Update / Xperia 1 III / 61.1.A.4.78
forum.xda-developers.com
This latest update will be released on a new staggered schedule, meaning some phones get it first, others get it later in china. It means you may get the Android 12 update OTA later than expected. Maybe lets observe if you are getting the OTA update above. If you are, you may have been conned.
