I think mine was the Polish version, and the update finally came through last night - through the phones updater.
thanks for the reply! c",)
did you have the EURO (unbranded) version or the PLUS (polish network) version?
I rooted mine, then put on a custom 2.3.6 ROM (Sheep ROM 1.2)
OTA. Unbranded unit
Initially update wouldn't go through so i went ahead and flashed back to stock from rooted status and applied the update and then root it again

I received mine from Handtec on November 30, got the OTA update the next day, and it installed fine. Have rooted since then, without difficulty.
It was in Polish when I started it up, but I have no idea what "Plus" version is.
My update is ready, but Im not updating till ICS, or the 1.5 4g lte working on t-mobile.

I think Plus is the name of the polish carrier these were branded for.
its DEC 5 and still no OTA update for my unbranded polish ver galaxy note from handtec. :-(
just wanna update to 2.3.6 for the battery usage issue with 2.3.5.
quick questions to the GURUS:
* can i just flash the HONG KONG ROM ZSKK1 (2.3.6) on mine?
* do i need ROOT for that?
would really appreciate the hand-holding! ;-)

I used Odin and a copy of the stock ROM to do just that. I was stuck in a mode where kies kept reporting that my phone wasnt supported for upgrades and changing my code to DBT made my phone find tge upgrade, but refuse to install it. I rooted at first and bricked it during a failed upgrade, so I used Odin to drop the HK ROM on it with success.

Yeah Im using the t-mobile hotspot right now, until I can figure something out.
'Edit' thinking of cancelling or lowering the internet package on my phone and just use the hotspot for now.
My hotspot plan is 2gb for $39.99
and my phone data plan is 2gb for $20.00

I got mine from Handtec yesterday (Dec 6th). Polish version unbranded. I was able to update via OTA. The update notification came through as soon as I connected to wifi.
after flashback to my stock rom i cant get partial 7.6mb update
is there anyway that force phone to find update???
I think that you have to upgrade the stock rom manually by using KDZ-Updater. Make sure to backup your data and after upgrading , rest the factory for your mobile and wipe the cache partition >> Enjoy
Best regards,

when you check the http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XXXXXXXXXX (xxxxxx = your imei), does it tell you have the latest fw?
i 'forced' the update from here
I checked my phone for update via OTA but it didn't show i got an update. That was when i was on V10C but a friend of mine has already got V10E updated.
And sure enough this site has the V10E.

Was your friends 4X from the same countrie/region as your? may be 10e wasnt available for your region/countrie, and may be your phone is from network operator, they allways get updates a little later

Did your friend update via OTA.
I find this strange that some phones does not update via OTA. i think that if it doesnt find update, you should hard reset it, or you will never receive updates.

I should know when there's something major - JB - going on when XDA is sudden alive with that news.. then i'll poke my nose more. otherwise its ok.
I installed the UK MK7 update weeks ago and want to switch back to the US now that it's available to get Exchange previews back. What's the CSC code for the US? Kies won't update since it says I already have MK7. Is there another place to download the new ROM? Can I downgrade to an older US ROM and let Kies update that way? I would, but I can't find even the old US ROMs.

Yes you can downgrade, Here is the thread where you can get the USA version. (OLD)
XAR is the USA version - Last one in the list (Labled as Cellular South)
Also you can go here and get the current version, Currently the top one in the list.

Was thinking the same thing but wondering if it even makes sense to do? If the UK gets another update (which I assume will be before the US again) won't Gear Manager download it to my UK rom first?
I decided to reload the old ROM and re-upgrade not being sure if were differences. I had some wierdness after loading the old ROM which I suspect was program updates intended for the new ROM. You might want to do a reset to wipe the gear before dropping back to the old version.
Having done so, though, I used Kies to upload the new US ROM and it all went fine. I am now on the US MK7 and all seems well.

So, are the UK and US MK7 firmware versions identical?

I see no discernable differences on the surface. Under the hood, I can't tell. It seems unlikely to me that different versions would be left with the version number. Time will tell.

Thanks for this information, as I was not sure I was on the UK or the US version, having flashed the UK rom, but then being unsure if what appeared to be an update recently actually was. I am in USA and on the XAR version now. All have been working great with Exchange and other notifications.
Same size
I opened both .tar files (XAR from USA and BTU from UK) and they have the same exact size on all their subfolders (not a single Byte more, not a single Byte less) I assume they are the same firmware. Why Sammy took too long to update USA firmware? Weird right?

OMG, thanks for this almulder! It is not clear on Null Gear Recover pagethat all the US people are being sent to a link to download MK2 version which gives the scrunched recovery view. I'm still figuring this out, but this post makes things a lot easier.

Hi, Does anyone know if the carrier 3 UK offer up their official firmwares please?
I just wanted to know so that if I ever need the phone back to it's original 3 state I can do it.
Also 4g is imminent on 3 and dont know if I will receive update to get 4g on custom rom.
Thanks.
Stu.
Anyone help on this please.............
Can anyone answer this ?
What do you mean by offer up? On their website for download? Then the answer is no.
Updates are supplied by carriers via the PC Companion/Sony update Service or OTA.
Search in the general section for a 3 UK ftf if you want to return to stock. I'm not sure if one is available or not, but a search will tell you either way.

thanks kingvortex. And if I find one this will return it back to stock?
Yes, that's correct.

I found a Hutch three uk .350
If i flash this and update via o.t.a or sony companion will this stay "3" ?
Yes, it will. Flashing the 3 UK ftf will ensure you receive updates for their software only.

The latest 569 3uk build has lte enabled as default network, not sure why they'd have to release an OTA to enable 4g.
Fwiw I work in one of the original test areas, never picked up a 4g signal, but have had 30mb downloads at times..

I assume that 3 issued a blanket announcement that an update will be released to enable 4G when it's available, regardless of whether it's actually needed or not, as this is the second time recently that I've seen it mentioned here.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
Yes, they are doing a staged rollout. It has started in Manchester, Birmingham and somewhere else but only a few thousand people at a time to see how it goes.
They say you will get an update when your time comes to enable you to pick up the 4g signal when in a 4g area.
Now I think about it, I would imagine that it would be a sim update rather than an update for the firmware on your phone.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
Yes,maybe. But didnt know if I would still get it being on a custom rom . It is a phone from 3 themselves though. Not to sure if it would update.
Can always revert back once I get it.

I have the generic UK 569 and don't have the option to select 4G in my preferred network mode, I had heard it was an OTA update from Three but not so sure now, I think I might have to go back to the stock rom as well if I don't get it next month (which is supposed to be the switch over).
Are you sure you never received the update OTA, it was only given to a selected few in a few cities?

no idea why you don't get 4g on the generic, I've just flashed the 101 build and it's allowing me to exactly the same as on every rom except the first original 3uk one (350?)

Thanks, perhaps it has something to do with my sim then, if only there was more information from Three themselves! lol
I will keep my fingers crossed for some sort of update next month and then if nothing I'll take my phone back to the shop for them to look at
Edit: I think I must be getting OldTimers, just remembered (and looked back on my posts to confirm) that it is all down to the sim card, as when I took my sim out I get the option of selecting 4g
I have been waiting so long I completely forgot, now just have to hope that I do get some sort of sim update in the coming weeks...
Just had the update, was still 10.4.B.0.569 but now when I look at my network mode it states 4G (preferred)

I didnt get a notification for an update it was just there one day using 4g.
My settings dont give me the option of 4g , just LTE prefered.
4g is working though as it has it at the top of the phone and my download speeds are around 30mb.
hello, few days ago there was update from germany via hicare app, now I have changed region to german and it working very well. Update steps:

u'r welcome

That was how they provided MM for everyone and it is not new information. However b550/b551/b560 are MM builds.
I disagree totally with Azaradel this WAS new information to me and I thank kiamikadze for sharing it.
Really don't know why everyone is ignoring this thread!
It is the easiest way to upgrade to Marshmallow.
No worries about doing something wrong as it comes straight from the Huawei servers.
No worries about which version you are currently running.
I'm happy that for everyone that has heard about that method, the update appeared within seconds. However, I changed already to many languages in the HiCare app and even downloaded the HiCare update from the market to do this "OS Upgrade". The EMUI updater instead still says: "No updates". I'm on B194 with a Swiss SIM. Maybe having the right right IMEI is important? Someone has a clue? I want to update the official way, not via a forced method.
Thanks, my phone is in the Asia pacific region, with location set to Australia. I am also able to get MM update with the help of post. The trick is to opt in for OS upgrade early adopters
Wow, thanks. Upgraded to 6.0. No regional change was needed though

Apparently huawei said they can upgrade your phone if you call them as you have the correct build for upgrade. Huawei said this when I rang them. Ring them and ask them to push upgrade from their side through hicare.
