[Q] Want upgrade to 4.4.2

Hello.
Just bought an used Note II. It has 4.3 and I want 4.4.2. Software updates on the phone tells me 4.3 is the latest. Kies on imac is telling me the same.
Baseband version: N7100ZSENA1
Current firmware = Latest firmware = PDA: NA1, PHONE: NA1, CSC: NA1 (TGY)
It means that the update is not ready for that country? What country is NA1 (TGY)? Can I change that somehow and get the latest firmware?
Thank you in advance.

Update might not have arrived on your country. But you can get the ofiical firmware from here and instructions too. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=28988

Thank you.
I'm also interested in knowing which country is NA1 (TGY). According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Csc, TGY is Hong Kong. That means the phone was bought from Hong Kong?
If i flash that firmware, it will change country to India and will have OTA updates when available in India?

I would advise you flash the French Version and not the Indian version cause it carries the modem file that is tailor made for Indian users only,people who use that modem outside of India might experience sudden battery drain and weak signal (the ones that are rooted can take care of it by flashing the french modem or one of the older 4.3 modems) but you wont be and you'd have to flash French rom which carries a XX labelled modem that works for most EU countries although XF is the one for romania

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=29588 - is this the right one?
Will this be enough? Or do I need to flash a different modem firmware? After this the phone will be french version instead of hong kong version?

Ya thats the latest one that released today.Download it and flash via pc odin.I am not too sure if your phone would change to "french version" look at my screenshot of attached CSC .Shows BTU (which is UK) and CSC country is UK AND IRE (cause i believe the stock rooted ROM from the developer i got turned the CSC into this i guess he's from that part of the world) and my note II is originally from Dubai and been using it in India .So you can imagine by poor phone has been touringaround the world..LOL But doesn't affect me cause i never upgrade to stock roms from sammobile i always get the stock dedoxed pre rooted ones from xda so CSC doesn't matter to me unless it messed my phone up.
Read this post below that would give you more info about how does flashing a rom from another country works

This is mine. Should I go then for french update or wait for hing kong version.
Is it ok that I'm using hong kong version in romania? France is closer

Ok, I did the firmware update from France.

Is this ok? Do I need to do anything else?

Battery life seems worse on 4.4.2. Should I flash different modem firmware?

Since you are on stock 4.4.2 you got two options,either flash a custom 4.4.2 custom ROM (dr ketan's rom is the least bloated and very close to stock)so that would give you a good estimate how your battery drain is or you flash a custom 4.3 (there are tons available out there choose the one which impresses you the most)

For now I wish to stay on stock ROM. But battery life on 4.3 was much better than on 4.4.2.

Well give it few days and see if it improves ,if it doesn't then only option is to root your phone and try custom 4.3 or 4.4 ROMS.Good luck

Why not give it a try? The 4.3 stock firmware should be on sammobile's site. Why carry another battery when you don't have to?

Assuming you upgraded (as in kept all your apps and data) from 4.3 to 4.4.2 then you should probably factory reset before judging battery life. Some apps just never play ball again after an update.
The rule typically is:
x.x.a to x.x.b - wipe only if experience issues
x.a.x to x.b.x - wipe suggested but not generally required
a.x.x to b.x.x - wipe generally required

Hi I did installed the Global too and got a lot of bloatware,did you tried to installing the EUR version?

i did , but the same
i found that our mobile region is Singapore , and we can not change that , even we flash Europe rom.

and where to download V20E-GLOB-COM??

Mine were originally V10i-SEA-XX when i first bought it but after flashed ANDROID HD LOLLIPOP Rom, it changed to V20e- GLOBAL-COM as well... Anyway, the dev removed all the bloatware so its ok

Is there a way to download official android lollipop v20e-global-com kdz?

Flashing with different region firmware.

Hi guys, I have Galaxy Note 10.1 SM-P605. My one is most likely a Malaysian variant. Baseband version: P605XXUCOE1. I still haven't got the lollipop update on this variant. Now kinda planning to flash it with the Finland version. So I have some questions here before I do...
1. Will there be any sort of problem because of different baseband/ region?
2. Will I have to face any issue with knox or official OTA updates in future?
Thanks in advance.= :fingers-crossed:

I can only answer half of your questions, as my device is rooted, so i don't get official updates anyway. Flashing a different region firmware never caused me any troubles, not on my 10.1, or my Galaxy Note4, so it won't affect the functionality of your device.

As for Knox, it will trip Knox as you are flashing a kernel not for the same region...
It may just bootloop. Make sure you have a stock rom to go back to, mind you this may not work if the bootloader is upgraded to a newer version, say KK to L or L to MM....

Ya after first flash I went through bootloop, after the second one it was fine. Now enjoying Lollipop on my tablet.

Glad to know man, btw I am having only 1 problem that is it's not showing my operator's name on lock screen or in connection settings, instead it's showing the 5 digit number code of my operator. Thats not a major issue I guess, must be some conflict with regions.

AT&T 8.0 Oreo OCX27.109-47 available, plus a problem

Well, I've been waiting for this to help fix my semi-borked phone and it is now available:
Android File Host Courtesy of the Motorola-Firmware-Team.
I know quite a few have been looking for it as well.
Now here is my issue if anyone can help -
Before I knew what I was fully getting into (this AT&T Z2 Force is my first bootloader locked device) I mistakenly flashed an oreo modem from the retail image to my 7.1 device. This gave me a missing baseband and IMEI, with no wifi or sim. In my attempts to fix it I flashed the modem from Tmobile (oreo) and eventually got wifi back, but not sim. I hoped going to the AT&T Oreo image would give me back sim/cell, but alas it seems the AT&T baseband version is lower than the current TMO on my phone, and both wifi and sim service are gone.
I feel like I need a way to roll back the baseband, but can't with the locked bootloader.
I can flash back to the TMO modem and get wifi, but that is all.
Any insights?

What was the ROM Oreo that you installed before installing the Tmobile?
The ROM that you downloaded is for moto z2 play not for moto z2 force

It is for the z2 force (Nash), just listed under the z2 play on Android file host for some reason.
As for your question, I'm not sure I understand - are you asking which rom I installed before going to the tmo modem? It was the retail Oreo rom, which obviously didn't fully install due to the locked bootloader, but started my journey to finding a working modem as anything 7.1 I tried after the failed retail flash would not work.
In hindsight I could have left the phone untouched at that point and waited for the at&t Oreo files, but I have a tendency to tinker too much...
I settled on the at&t 7.1.1 rom with tmo 8.0 modem for wifi. Now the at&t Oreo rom is available and installed, but it gives me a missing baseband unless I use the tmo modem. Oh well, suppose I will wait for the next at&t update at this point unless someone has any suggestions.
I have a Sprint version coming tomorrow so I'm not as bothered by it any more, and I'm looking forward to the unlocked bootloader.

I tried to download that ROM but do not tell me
When you say the numbering of the At & t ROM It is smaller than tmobile's

I just installed the ROM 8.0 from at & t is working very well, any news I will communicate, thanks for the information

I have a problem with this version the 4g LTE does not grab me

I am having the same issue, did you ever find a resolution for this?

No, unfortunately.
I have a second Z2 Force from Sprint which I use, and this AT&T version exists solely as a mini WIFI tablet. I'm hopeful the 9.0 Pie update will breathe more life into it eventually.

I have an AT&T nash and I was wondering if it is possible for me to flash stock pie

I have an AT&T nash and I was wondering if it is possible for me to flash stock pie
There is no pie for nash xt1789-04 (att) but there is pie released for other z2 force. Will it break my phone if I flash pie stock over ATT stock rom? If so, can I have a link to the pie rom?

There's no stock 9.0 for any model. GSIs and custom ROMs are available, but an unlocked bootloader is required for either route. Users of the ATT & VZ models must wait for Moto to rollout Pie officially.
If you're interested in those things I'd strongly recommend selling your ATT Z2.

Oh, I thought pie was out because on gsmarena it says it's upgradeable. I guess it's wrong.
But when this does come out, for let's say, Sprint, is it possible for me to flash a sprint rom to my ATT MZ2F?

Moto released their update rollout. Among the phones slated to receive Pie you'll find the Z2 and Z2 Play.
Sure, you can try to flash the official build on your Z when it's out. Just keep in mind that the phone will probably lose LTE, and possibly other functions.

Ok thank you for answering

Normally, yes you can flash from a different model (i.e. Sprint FW on TMO model), with the exception of the AT&T/Verizon variants, which are bootloader locked, and you cannot flash anything (not even official firmware) on them.

That's wrong because I was able to flash android 8.0 att over 7.1.1 because it wouldn't let me update normally. I'm pretty sure you can flash images with the same stock signature, but I'm asking if it's possible to flash stock firmware from another model on to att phone with bootloader locked

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I meant official firmware of a different model.
