Due to different CDA's(1215-7995 and 1215-8017) you don't get your phone updated to your wife's version.

Right now the latest is R1HA036.

There's a trick that allows you to update your phone to the latest:

You need to upload a customize_upgrade.xml file into tpa/preset/custom/

I am unable include the script in my reply so if you PM me an email address I can send it to you.


The customize_upgrade.xml should contain a CDA number with the region where the firmware update is available.
