I'm getting very little and conflicting information on the matter. I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong with my phone. This is because I get the sense that the European user base for this model is incredibly small and I fear Motorola may have just forgotten about us.
I would need someone who has a XT1068 (that's the dual-sim version) and who brought it in Europe to confirm whether he/she has received any lollipop update through regular OTA.
I understand Indian users have gotten lollipop for at least a few weeks now, and that you can flash lollipop on XT1068 whether European version or not.
Also if you're someone who has kept track of different OTA's for the different models/regions, please let me know if I should start being impatient or if you have educated guesses about when European dual-sim users should expect an OTA. Thanks.
If you read post #71 and #83 here you´ll see ,that there still is no release date for the european XT1068 Dual-Sim:

I was a nexus 5 user 2 weeks back and among the first to run android 5.0 lollipop (obviously i flashed factory image , prior to that i used dev preview )
I never had the memory leak but yes the battery life became awful....wifi battery drain was also present and pretty random in nature... So exchanged it wid my not to geeky bro as i needed a dual sim phone.
If moto fixes those issues...then i guess the wait for the update is worth...
I'm convinced it will be a worthy update! ?

Thanks for everybody giving his own perspective. It's nice to see there are others running "reteu" who are all waiting for lollipop.
No update in Portugal yet.
I'm also with "reteu" and KitKat - XT1068. See there: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/edc7501cc4?page=21
I think that is good news. Also today I receive a few updates from Google Play and right now the launcher app drawer and folder is like Lolipop launcher. Maybe Lolipop is near.
I'm in Spain, I opted-in to become a tester in MFN, but I haven't recieved any updates.
Guess we are going to wait a little longer here in Europe...

I was on 21.11.14 european retail and I already switched to 5.0.2 manually last Sunday.
Well, I have to say that the main difference is the memory managment. On Lollipop is way better, I absolutely confirm that :victory:
Not the same thing and my method is completely different

Sorry to say but the soak test, indian OTA capture , official Full firmware and currently rolling out OTA of lollipop 5.0.2 for XT1068 IS the same firmware.. LXB22.46-28 build date Jan 6th
Its just delivered by different ways and installed by different methods.
even the regional versions of XT1068 i.e retgb , retde and retbr etc will most probably have been based on this 5.0.2 RETAIL ALL firmware if they follow the same structure as 4.4.4 firmwares
HINT MOTOROLA i'm still waiting FOR UK (GB) version.
I'm currently looking at the Brazilian 5.0.2 xt1068 firmware to see what regional changes are applied compared to the RETAIL ALL 5.0.2 xt1068 firmware.

Hi all,
maybe that is expected but I thought my Note 4 should be subject of Lollipop Update. Device information says "SM-N910F".
I am on Stock firmware, no root or so.
Is Lollipop not available for my device yet or am I doing something wrong.
Thanks in advance guys for feedback.
Cheers from Germany
waintg like i do SM-N910F (TPL)
I read somewhere that lolipop update was canceled because of problems with Poland ROMs
Really? I thought it's spread now for nearly every version

Canceled lol? No it is not "canceled" it is rolling out to the device in different regions...just wait until it hits your region.
Its not rolling out to any region but Poland & Korea for C version and Germany for F... something bad spotted in beta testing, they're recoding firmwares and the update is on hold. As it rolls out to much older devices, we with Note4 have to still wait. It's just as it is... Samsung fails to satisfy its flagship owners one more time.

Thanks KS ljubimci. That's why I'm wondering. I believe to be on F and am in Germany as well. Now you guys got really confused.
They are saving the best firmware for us till last as they experiment on other devices (^_-) shall be worth the wait.

Completely normal way for Samsung. Poland and Korea usually first and after a while they will spread to other regions.
I expect, for Europe, the UK next followed by France, Italy and Spain.

If someone bad (as in show stopping bad) would have been discovered they would not have released the final version in Poland or Germany.
They may adjust some small things for other regions but nothing indicates that they pulled the plug on the update. (if a real problem would had been discover they also would have stopped rolling out Germany and Poland)
Guys, just to repeat: I AM in Germany and AM on F but Update not showing. So what's wrong then?
Download it from sammobile if you really need it. I myself had to downgrade in order to get my things work the way I want them to. Besides I'm not a fan of the lollipop animation gimmicks at all.
So it is Only available from sammobile and expected behaviour that it's not offered via KIES or OTA?

No. It should be offered via KIES or OTA. But if Samsung really pull back the update due to some bugs, you won't be able to get them either way so you have to download from Sammobile if you can't wait for Samsung to release them again.
Hmm okay. So we ASSUME it was pulled back then.

Nah, if your deviece is carrier branded than it's completely normal not to receive the update.
It isn't branded
You probably have a different csc.

Hi there. I've a T719, the 8" with the Snapdragon, and I'm still waiting for the nougat update. Is it possible to wait 2 months for an update? Or they forgot about me? I'm writing from Italy, thanks for the help!

You can flash Vietnam firmware, Android 7 is available
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-s2-80/SM-T719Y/
At the welcome screen , just roll up and down to select English as your choice of language.
If you don't know how to use Odin, then don't try.
Vietnam firmware? I Will wait for the official one.

This is official firmware from Samsung which must have English language. All samsung tablets are the same, don't ever think your US or Europe tablet is superior than the one sold in Asia. Actually, most Samsung tablets are made in Vietnam.
Only the firmware and software are customized to fit certain region. That's why they always have the file CSC ( Customer Software Customization ) to flash a firmware.
I can flash 4 different official firmwares: United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Korean, and Germany, my tablet's status always be OFFICIAL. This is not rooting, you're flashing different official firmware. If you don't get it, then don't try and waiting for the OTA update.
In the Tab A forums, many users flash Korean or Germany to get Android 7 as you can flash back the original firmware when it's available in Nougat.
Even after updated, don't like the Nougat, you can flash back MM without problem as I did. because some apps are not ready for new OS.
Anyway I need the Italian firmware, not the English..

Hi all,
I bought an unlocked note 9 from eBay which arrived today. I got it set up and went to begin installing a different firmware to be able to get the one UI update - only to find out it's a N960U1! I'm in the UK so was expecting/hoping for a N960F.
It's all working, calls work, I've pulled over 3GB of data today all nice and fast, texts working etc. If I was the 'average user' I wouldn't know that it's not a UK one...
My question is, am I likely to hit any road blocks? As long as the radios all work I can't imagine there being any and the play store has all the apps I use available. I'm just wondering if I'm at any advantage/disadvantage?
Thanks

I'm on the same boat (I mean, a similar situation because I'm not in the UK I'm in El Salvador). When I received my phone I started looking for the new UI, but I noticed that I had a very old android build version (I was in September security patch, I received my phone February 11) I started reading about and found out that N960U is the branded version of the note in the US. I wanted to update by Odin to one UI but I was afraid to get my phone carrier locked so after reading a lot more, I found that you can update using the right firmware for the phone (N960U) you don't lose carrier unlock and in my case after installing updates, I don't even have any bloatware.
Now, after this context history, I can tell you that the only thing that will affects is any "radio band enhance" or "carrier feature" and that's because you will not be able to install any UK carrier software to that version because N960U and N960F are different hardware, not just software.
Maybe there is another road block that is about updates, I'm on 9.0 but with January security patch, I have not received any new update. To be hones I'm not sure if there is a new one, so I need to wait to confirm that OTA updates are working for me, if not I will take the time to update by ODIN again haha so that's not something that will drive me crazy, and also related to this I think that N960U android versions are coming faster than I thought, some of my friends with N9600 are still stuck on 8.1
If you want to upgrade go to the following thread, there you will have enough information to update.

Awesome, nice one dude
I used Odin on my previous S8+ to be able to install the one UI beta and that worked fine. Though it did come with a couple of apps that were a part of that carriers firmware (three UK)
I'm aware that the F uses an exynos processor whereas the U is Snapdragon and have seen a couple of guides already. Though they use AT&T firmware and, from what I've seen, have bloatware that would literally be useless to me.
I'll have a look at the guide you linked.
I'd like to have one UI again, but can happily live with the Samsung experience UI if I had to.

Option1:
You can flash the Pie beta since you're running U1, there isn't an official release of Pie as yet.
Option2:
You can switch your device to the U firmware and flash the latest OTA however you would have to manually update each time because you won't be getting an update automatically.

How come the U firmware wouldn't get OTAs?
My S8+ was flashed to get the beta and that received OTA updates.
If I'm to go onto one UI I'd want it to get OTA updates still. If that means waiting for an official release then so be it
On a different note, I installed an app to get the FM radio working today. Can't do that with the UK exynos version ?

Because on the U most OTA comes from the carrier (ATT & VZW) while the rest comes from Samsung.
U1 all updates come from Samsung but U1 updates are months behind.
Advantage of running U firmware is you always get to be on the latest OTA as one is available.

So correct me if I'm wrong but to simplify what you're saying:
The U gets the latest updates sooner but comes with carrier bloat
The U1 gets non bloated updates but Samsung doesn't release then until months later?
I'll leave it and wait if that's the case. I'd be more bothered about having bloat than One UI

Well yes the U comes with bloatware but the amount varies according to carrier, but since you're in the UK. Your CSC will read as XAA/XAA so therefore I doubt you would have any bloatware.
I know this because I myself had own a US device while using in the UK.

Right so even if you switch to U firmware it would still remain XAA/XAA because that would be the default CSC code for Unbranded for American model. F model is normally XEU or BTU

When I did the S8+ I had to go through a pretty big list to find the BTU firmware so assumed I'd have to do the same for the N9
I might give it a go if I get a chance this week
Seeing as you have the US variant of the Note 9. You may have issues receieving connecting to certain networks outside the US. As most US Networks use a different LTE band from the EU/UK
