Where is my galaxy note 2 from?

Hi. Can anyone help me please.
Samsung have brought jelly bean 4.1.2. To the note 2.
My frinds all got the update OTA. But mine wont update yet.
So I'm thinking that my phone isn't from the uk.

Model - GT-N7100

Baseband - N7100XXALJ2

Kernal version - 3.0.3.31-310959

Build number - JRO03C.N7100 XXALJ3

I got the contract with vodafone through phones4u.
I know the update has been realeased in the UK but mine just
says latest update installed.

Thanks for your time.

Hi, where did your friends get their phones from?
Not sure about all phones from Phones 4 U but the 2 I have had were unlocked sim free even though I went on an O2 contract. I am not 100% sure but I would bet yours is unlocked sim free, and maybe your friends got theirs from a Vodafone shop and theirs would be locked to Vodafone, meaning the latest update was available for them and not you as yet.
Is there any Vodafone branding, startup screen etc on your Note 2?

Sorry for the spelling mistakes. Still getting to grips with the massive qwerty on this thing. :-/

No problem :p

Most updates for devices roll out randomly by serial number. If that's they case here, its just a waiting game.

You could also try force closing Google services framework, I've heard that work for a few people in the past

Yeah. I think I'll just wait a little longer.
I know sammobile has a list of countries who have it. I'm gonna assume
I'll get mine when every other country has theres. I'll just wait for all
The green lights on the list.
I'm not too fussed about the update being as soon as now.
I just hoped my phone wasn't sent from another country.
I would have returned it and it would of been a hassle.
