There are 2 ways you can do:
1. On the dialer *#272*IMENumber# then change your region CSC on the screen that comes out. The Phone will reset to factory with the new region.
2. Flash a stock ROM for your region, in this case Singapore. You can get a stock rom from Sammobile.com.It doesn't matter if Gingerbread or better still chose the latest ICS..
Good luck!
Anyway, if you only want to upgrade to ICS why not try connecting first to KIES to see if there is an upgrade for the region you have now? My GN was bought in the Middle East but I flashed Germany GB ROM and upgraded to ICS 4.03 using kies. From that version I was able to upgrade OTA to 4.0.4.

Just wonder if this has happened to everyone. Got an "software update" then it says its updated to "NT 7000 XXKKA"?

Me neither! I too got the Handtecski version
If you got the Handtec edition you have to change your CSC to XEU (for UK) from KOR for Kies / OTA to recognise your device as being eligible for updates.
You can do this (WARNING: This will factory reset your phone) by going into the dialer and typing:
*#272*IMEI#
(where IMEI is your phones IMEI as found in Settings > Status)
This should give you a menu of CSC to choose from. XEU is UK which is eligible for the Kies update right now, others will probably follow soon if they havent already. If you leave it at KOR it will never update as KOR is the no-mans land of CSC.
When is the KOR one going to have an update? Is it safe to just wait for the official one without changing anything? Asking on behalf of a friend who is peranoid which i understand cause we paid 700 for these damn things. Mine came from Germany so i have the update, he is still waiting for his.
Hey, my n7000 is shows germany in region, and now its on 2.3.6. i'm from israel and like to know if i should change the region for updates? is there a international region?
b.t.w the phone is simfree
If you want OTA or updates over Kies you need to install the proper Rom for your country.

iirc, german models were one of the fastest to get updates.
more importantly, tell us which version your device is currently running. if its already on the latest version then its pointless to waste time swapping regions and wiping your device.
its the latest for now
android 2.3.6
baseband xxlb2
kernel xxlc1

I just used Dr. Ketan's post (stock ROMS) to flash the latest GB and would now like to flash stock ICS 4.0.4. I reside in Hungary
and the phone was purchased in Hungary. I don't see 4.0.4 Rom for Hungary. Does it matter?
I am curious why they even have ROMs bye country.
Thanks for your observation.
Already updated half an hr back. you can see now.
This have 4.0.4 for hungary now.
Just cause your phone was bought in country a doesn't mean the phone has country a csc. That's not how updatability works at Samsung.

I have an issue where I bought the phone off amazon UK brand new. It's not carrier branded. And i have no idea of where it came from. I updated the phone to 2.3.4 V20e from 2.3.4 V20c through the Lg updater.
When i choose the firmware. does it matter which region i choose? the closest to me is france for v20e. As I am in ireland.
tldr; Does it matter which v20e firmware region i choose? Or is there another option.
I was using this guide to root my p970
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802092
and this is the firmware list to choose from

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. I'm new to here. I have a problem in my galaxy S advance (I9070) First days I purchased it, it asked for System Update settings in Notification area. so I was selected the country as UK by mistake. So now I'm going to update it to JB, and the Kies software shows me a updates for UK, (XXLQE update) but i'm in a Asian country, I think that update for European country. If I update this, will it be compatible to my country ? is these europian updates can be used in asian countries ??. Please tell me how to change System Update Settings Country, there are no place to change it.
thanks

Go to setting and do a factory reset to renew all setting in you phone but your app and phone number in yhe phone wii lost(in sim no effect)
Or you can try to download your jellybean firmware and flash it with odin

ok dear, thanks. and I'd like to know that what is the best JB firmware suitable for i9070. I read many reviews on the internet and found that the device will be slow down and will lag after install JB, Is that true ?

You can use other region firmwares with no problem. Currently maybe the indian ddulp8 is the best without root imo. Yes, it is true but not on all device and I don't know why.
Hope this helps.
