Hi, I recently purchased a Galaxy Note from Hong Kong. The current firmware version on it is XXLA4. I would like to go to LB1. Since my Kies is not indicating an update, I will need to flash it on using ODIN. Is my Hong Kong note compatabile with LB1? Should I wait for Samsung to release a HK LB1? Thanks
It's perfectly fine.

HK note = international note. Only note from US and Korean right now is different from the rest of the world

Works on mine (DBT) here in the states, no issues.
Yep will be perfectly fine using Odin. I went from kk5 to lb1 on my international version.
Same. Mine is Hong Kong version. Flashed deodexed LB1.

Hi
I was wondering if it's normal that there's still no official ics upgrade available in Belgium. I own a Note who's at 2.3.6 now. No ICS yet.. Checked with OTA update and Kies on my computer... Any idea when this will come around in my area? I have a "XX" phone version which is aught to be a Belgium version of the device.
Thanks in advance

Idem ... no ICS on Galaxy Note.
I had got this phone from Portugal and I currently reside in India. This phone has not been released here. So I guess there wouldn't be an OTA update here. Guidance regarding which region update I should use with ODIN and would it be better if I wait for a OTA whenever it happens?
TIA

In my experience on multiple phones (Gio, Ace, S2) firmwares downloaded from sammobile for any region are flawlessly installed via odin. So i reckon you can download and install (via odin) the latest available firmware, regardless of which region it belongs to :good:
Thank you. Shall update it this weekend.

I got it from orange shop , i rooted it , and i saw some posts here about firmware upgrade to android 4.1.2 , i wanna know if is available on my country which is romania , or i can install any firmware on it , for example UK one?
Have some merci , i'm new here .
Greetings ,alex
If i can , i wanna know how . Thanks
install Samsung Kies on your computer & connect your device via usb-cable with it... then Kies will answer your question
just did that , and samsung kies said : you cannot upgrade your firmware via kies . On short
anyone else?
Im not sure if rooting disables updating via kies..

you have two options:
1. Wait for official firmware update to 4.1.2 for romania.
2. make a complete backup with cwm recovery & try an UK or other 4.1.2 firmware ..... but i don´t recommend it because of baseband differences...
I dont know what changes 4.1.2 brought accept bugfixes, but im kinda dissapointed that they removed water lockscreen and if i got mine on 4.1.1 i think i wouldnt update it until we get 4.2

Why don't you try South East Europe ROM,or generic? Check sammobile, there's plenty of ROM `s. Just make sure you have the correct ROM (if you have 8190N you need ROM with N). I just flashed latest 4.1.2 (BTU) as wanted `` clean `` stock ROM and so far very impressed...

BTU is UK. Anyway, you have nothing to lose. So give it a try. Do hard reset before and after flashing. Mine is 8190NXXALL6.

We are still waiting for BTU 4.1.2 non N version ,you are lucky because you got NFC BTU firmware.

Why you want root? Give it a few days to see if there's need to modify something.

Nothing at the moment
We hope it will be released along with a major 4.1.2/4.2 update :fingers-crossed:
The waiting on the UK Jelly Bean OTA seems to be forever. Finally I decided to flash the HK rom but wonder if it's safe comparing to other English language roms.
I also have some trouble to backup the storage data because I'm using MacOS. Will it cause some trouble if I dont do that?
Absolutely yes. My note is from Trinidad and Tobago. CSC:TTT. I'm living in the US and bought it from Newegg.
History flashed: Jb 4.0.4 and Jb 4.1.2 leaked and official stock roms. Now I'm on stock rom TTT again

Thank you！ I didn't buy my note from Newegg was because they didn't mention there was actually no warranty on the phone.
