Can I download a firmware from the UK region and use odin to update it to gingerbread? Does it make any difference which firmware from which region I use? Afterall aren't they all i9000 variants? Thanks
Hello
I have a O2 UK G Note on stock firmware KKA / Rom KK5 . I have attached to Kies and it states I am on the latest FW. I have seen on this site newer FW for the euro Note. Why dont I get the OTA for this newer software ?

If your Note is a Network locked phone, then you should wait till they release for the update. if not try with Kies.
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?

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 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

I have found a new firmware for GT-I8190N which was released in September 2014. I live in the UK but my current firmware is BTU (UK unbranded) and this firmware is Vodafone UK so should I install this firmware? Would I have to wipe? Is it worth getting my phone branded? Would I get bloatware?
