I have an unlocked, SG2 on O2 contract from phones4U.
my phone says that I have Android version 2.3.3 installed.
(I searched for updates the day I got the phone, last thursday and installed the update it found, this took me up to 2.3.3 from 2.2.2 I think.)
When I look now, there are no updates available.
I see some people have 2.3.4 or even 2.3.5? why is that?
What is the latest version available for UK unlocked SG2s?
thanks.
If you read the forums you will see the solution .
One you get an update when O2 update or phones 4u .
Two alternatives are unofficial updates that may break your warranty .

Like JJe said i agree with him.
Now if you are into rooting and want to try the latest firmware that comes with the roms go for it..
But you will lose your warranty and do your research first before you go ahead and root your phone....there is always way round unrooting and keeping your warranty but if you dont mind and you know what your doing go ahead and root and enjoy the goodies in custom roms..
im using VR 3.0 and before that batista rom and they are good as gold..
if you need any help just give me a shout
Thanks for the replies guys, but what I'm asking is which firmware version should I have, is 2.3.3 the most recent available in the UK without rooting and installing a custom rom etc.
If so, I will wait for an update from O2.
cheers.

Without asking each provider what is your latest firmware its impossible to tell .
The providers roms post in dev section may give a better clue .
Probable any upgrades in the pipeline will be replaced by the new 2.3.5 .
jje
if you stay on official carrier firmware through kies, you'll always have the most uptodate version for your carrier. it will be months behind what'ss available through unofficial methods

cant you just re flash back to stock and your warranty should be fine? or can they tell your phone has been non stock in the past?
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):
system\CSCVersion.txt
system\csc\customer.xml Only one line: <SalesCode>???</SalesCode>

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!
i think not yet

If you could that would be brilliant. I've been trying to get my tab back to stock and updatable with Kies for ages!
Hello !
I have a french stock Tablet Z2 32 Gb. I checked within Xperifirm and everyone got the Lollipop update except the region including France, Germany etc...
Did I miss a note saying that we won't get the update ? Lollipop is rolling out for others regions since days or weeks. I find it odd that we don't have it yet ?
Thanks
Same for me.
Wait, it come.
Sent from my SGP512
Thanks for the reply. That's still very annoying to be last at the party :/
Unless you have been waiting with baited breath to set up multiple users, or are annoyed to death with the sd card silliness,
There is really nothing to be gained from lollipop.
Yes i'm also in the same boat. All regions got Lollipop but not ours. (SGP511) (1281-8033)
I wrote to Sony about this but they won't give me any information.
This is very frustrating. I love my Lollipop on the Z3 Compact. It works great and looks so nice.
Has anyone flashed a FTF from a different region on there device? Are any issues to be expected?
Regards,
boni
The Taiwanese prerooted .726 firmware which has a thread in this forum should -according to xda members - also work on a SGP512.
Region is really irrelevant - as soon as you set the language on the welcome screen, they're really all just the same.

In that case, could somebody give a hint which region to choose, that is for me, which region/customisation is the less bloated one?
Also irrelevant, because if you're rooted, you anyway can uninstall or deactivate the bloat apps.
Ok i just flashed 23.1.A.0.726 VMo UK-IE using this guide.
h**p://***.xperiablog.net/2015/03/17/guide-to-installing-xperia-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
It's running great. I should have done this sooner. But who knew that after over a Month release of Lollipop the German devices would still not have it via OTA.
Does any body know what will happen once 5.1 is released for xperia devices? Will i get it OTA via my original region or via the region i just flashed manually? Or do i always need to flash manually from now on?
Hello everyone,
I have a south Korea:
Device spec:
S9 plus G965M with Exynos 9810 and says SK Telecom in the start but I think it's unlocked because I have my Portuguese sim card inside and it's working here in Portugal
Band name Ron : G965N KSU 1ARJ1
This
I've went thru a lot of threads but I got flooded with so many information that I'm afraid of the steps to do.
Main goal:
1. Use the phone in Europe / Portugal
2. Change the ROM because even with reset and English chosen, Android has a lot of menus in Korean
3. Even boot loader for Odin is Korean.
4. Install Android pie 9.0 and continue to receive updates. This phone is stopped in October patch. I think it won't update unless I put a Korean sim
Since the current official ROM 9.0 with oneUI and Pie is for 965F and not 965N (mine), and since N partition is smaller, where should I start or how?
10. Should I start with CSC change? Will that change partition also? To what CSC then?
11. Root? TWRP? Custom ROM?
12. I don't care about Samsung pay, but will I lose VoltLTE?
Thanks a lot for your time.
Hi folks,,,
At first excuse my language just plz try to keep up with me to get help
So I bought an used S9 plus Duos, inside its G965F...software info, build number its also G965F,, outside on the back G965F made in Vietnam,,, i discovered that's there is root and its on February security patch i tried to unroot it using Odin,,,the where i discovered its G965N!!!! Tried to continue by downloading official g965N firmware (pie 9) ... when the device restarted after using odin the phone working or showing just one sim even it was working just fine and even I used pie firmware its went back to oreo!!!

1: cool, super easy and it sounds like you got it taken care of anyways
2: it’s a Exynos processor, so you should be able to root it and throw whatever ROM you want on it
3: if it’s a Korean model it should accept a G965F firmware flash in Odin which isnt a korean bootloader, and even if its not compatible, Odin will just fail out on the flash unless you have the modded version of Odin that is designed to ignore version mismatch errors and flash anyways
4: manually update it with Odin and don’t fiddle with the carrier specific needs for updates
What happened to 5 through 9?? (kidding, I can read between the lines)
10: CSC stands for country specific product code, or something like that. It tells the phone what market it is supposed to be intended for
11: sure, if you want, but youll trip knox if you do. sure. if youd like to, youre welcome to do that
12: SPay can be wonky depending on your CSC, but voLTE is a firmware/carrier specific. I have a regular S9 that i purchased from Cricket (united states MVNO carrier) and it had voLTE when i got it, but i flashed the G960U1 firmware (the "U1" iteration is the snapdragon unbranded version) and voLTE and WiFi calling are now both gone from my menu
---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------
oh, and youre not gonna change the partition size to anything bigger than it came with. When you Odin flash the firmware, it wont change the amount of internal storage available unless you inadvertently shrunk it with a firmware flash of a smaller storage base phone, which seems unlikely. This was more common in the standard 16gb internal storage days. If the internal storage amnt is incorrect after a firmware flash, factory reset it in stock recovery and that should correct the issue

Hello!
Im sorry to tell you that a I didnt find solution ?
I have a Galaxy s21 olympic edition with number SM-G991Q and i am not receiving montly updates. The last update was the August 2021 patch and was installed on August 30th.
Also smart switch on Windows is not detecting Any new updates.
I tried to reset the device without luck getting new updates.
Does anybody has the same problems with the Galaxy s21 SM-G991Q not receiving updates?
I have this phone too, I also only got the August security update.
Don't worry, they probably lost their update schedule before switching to Android 12. I got updates yesterday for SM-G9910.
I have the same phone and find it odd that it doesn't show up on sammobile or anywhere else.
Does anyone know where to find original firmwares for it?
I have too G991Q and I need flash to XAA because I need BAND 20 LTE my country help me pls or altwrnative stock ROM?
OK I solved writing on Mobile S21 G991Q 4G LTE Slovakia Band 20 ALLOWED

Well on november 8th i finally got the october 2021 update. Hopefully the android 12 update will follow zoon
I have a question about the G991Q, did any of you get the ESIM to work yet? It is currently software locked - in theory it should have it because it is a Snapdragon chip
Do you have Android 12 on G991Q already? Im checking every day but still no luck Should I install non olympic rom? Will that work? Thanks
@Corbik
This particular variant has yet to receive the stable One UI 4/Android 12 update.
@jussy
See here; the model number of this variant is SM-G991Q and the CSC is SJP. At the time of posting this, the latest available firmware version is G991QOPU1AUJ2.
my version is g9910 and still no update to android 12.
last version a11 octuber security update....
whats happend....
What standard version would be closest to G991Q? I tried to flash U1 ROM but no luck
Friends i'm also with the SM-G991Q olympic version.. I really need to switch to CSC from ZTO, to try to use VOLTE and WIFI CALLING from my operator in my country, Brazil!
Can someone please help me change CSC to ZTO ? I tried the tutorial above, but it doesn't open anything when typing the codes, were you able to change? I saw that it only works on android 10. but we are on android 11.
I saw that you have the option to change CSC ANDROID 11 via Samkey, but I believe it still doesn't have support for our SM-G991Q device.

Have you tried switching to another S21 variant's ROM with Snapdragon 888? it worked out ?
If it doesn't work, I think I found our ROM to perform restoration via ODIN, in brink event:

Yes I tried the U1 version since it should be US version with Snapdragon888.
That ROM you found, based on the numbers is exactly what is in my phone now.
I think I will just wait some more time to get official Android 12 update, hopefully our special version wont be forgotten
But If somebody know which ROM would also work for SM-G991Q and ideally would also support all languages and features (esim for example) please share
