I have searched but can't find an answer.
I am currently on three XXALF6 and I haven't had an update since June. I want to put stock ICS on ( XXBLG8) but am worried it will wipe my device.
I am also concerned that I read somewhere three use a special modem that is better for their network. Is this the case? Will flashing stock reduce my phones performance on three’s network?
Has anyone else gone to stock while using three?
Sorry if this is covered somewhere but if it is I can’t find it.
EDIT: Arse! this was meant to be in Q+A.
I am on Three I flashed XXBLG8 and all my apps where still there and everything worked fine!

If you're worried about typing in the APN again (which I haven't had to do on Omega roms) there are always APN backup apps out there

I did it and my friend did it on both our sgs3 and it was fine. Installed the stock ics full rom.

I've used several ICS versions and all of the JB leaks with their corresponding Radios on 3 UK and they have all been 100% fine with the network.
Cheers all. I went ahead and all seems fine. I'm hoping this firmware fixes an issue with auto connecting to my cars Bluetooth.

hey guys, vibration on my phone no longer works, need to go back for warranty.
I wonder where can I get the stock rom, Virgin Australia.
Thanks
Use checkfus downloader.

what's that?
What's the difference between that and Odin?
It's a program for finding the proper stock firmware for your phone and carrier. You download from there and then use Odin to flash I believe. I have found downloaded my firmware from it but I haven't needed to flash it as of yet. So haven't looked closely at files.

Typing this post from my 8013 freshly turned 8010. Confirmed flashing via MobileODIN works without a hitch. No bugs at all so far. Unsure of desktop ODIN flash though.

For starters, CWM isn't capable of flashing stock ODIN images and MobileODIN is. I wanted to make sure the flash introduced as few changes as possible, so I decided against a custom ROM or stock, prerooted CWM zip. I just used the latest LH2 from Germany, opted for everroot, and flashed it.

The advantage isn't because the ROM is German; it's becsuse it's a GT-N8010 ROM and international devices always get updates before U.S. devices. This means that when the 8010 gets JB, I can flash it to my 8013.

It bypasses U.S. patent avoiding changes like the elimination of global search. I don't know if there are any others. The downside is most of the EU ROM's have features (bloatware) that don't function from the U.S. so they eat up memory. That is unless you root and debloat but if that's the case you're better off running one of the custom ROMs in the dev section. Also, you'll never receive updates from Kies or OTA again because your CSC won't match the PDA s/w on your device.

If you like. I only did it as an experiment so I could see if it worked. As for Kies and OTA issues, I only ever update with MobileODIN. So if you're okay with that, go for it. Also, use Titanium Backup to backup Media Hub before you flash. It isn't in int'l ROMs. They come with Video Hub, which doesn't work here. You want to uninstall Video Hub and replace it with Media Hub. After that though, everything's the same. However, I should mention that my only reason for doing this was to see if I could use the N8010 JB release when it comes out because it'll come before the N8013 release.

custom ROM should also works. No one really ever found out what's the real difference between 8010 and 8013 yet, as far as I know. ROMS and ODIN files should be exchangeable between 8010 and 8013. Hardware wise I really don't think there is any difference at all.

But he's talking about the 8010 which is just the international wifi version. Aside from the software configuration there is probably zero difference in the 8010 and 8013.
And since 8000 custom roms work (with a reboot quirk) on the 8013 its safe to assume custom 8010 roms would be fine on the 8013 with no problems.
And yes, I know what assuming gets me!

XDA Members & Note 10.1 Owners:
To help clear up any confusion, I'll tell you what I know about the GT-N8013 and the GT-N8010. As some have speculated, they are physically identical. However, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT EACH AND EVERY ROM BUILT/RELEASED FOR ONE DEVICE IS GUARANTEED TO WORK ON THE OTHER. For example, they may very well have different partition layouts. Honestly, I don't know if they do or don't. Perhaps this is something that Entropy512 could look into.
Anyway, I've seen a lot of curiosity and speculation about cross-compatibility with custom ROMs. As I stated in an earlier post, custom ROMs vary too much, and I have not personally tried any. That being said, I HAVE flashed the GT-N8013 with GT-N8010 ROMs in MobileOdin, and that's about as extreme as you can get. Considering that stock ROMs can be MobileOdin-flashed from one device to the other, I see no reason why CWM-flashable custom ROMs wouldn't be the same. However, until someone bites the proverbial bullet and flashes a custom GT-N8010 ROM on a GT-N8013, we can't be 100% sure. I know it's a lot to take in, and difficult to decide on whether to try and flash a ROM for another device or not; but if it's of any use to you, I, personally, would go ahead and try it if the custom ROM in question was the one I really wanted and there was no build available for my device. That is not a guarantee, and I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEVICES DAMAGED, BRICKED, ETC. AS A RESULT OF TRYING ANYTHING IN THIS THREAD! I only maintain that this is something I would personally attempt; as evidenced by the fact that I already attempted it once before when I flashed my GT-N8013 to a GT-N8010!
Given the success of that attempt, I feel reasonably certain that "most" ROMs should work across both devices. I also feel like this topic warrants some professional scrutiny. I don't think it would hurt to have a developer or two look into this. If the Note 10.1's developer and advanced user community is to grow and evolve, stuff like this could be a defining advantage over other similar platforms. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Aside from the fact that the GT-N8013 and GT-N8010 are physically identical, I can't tell you anything else with 100% certainty.
I hope this went some way towards clearing things up. I know I was pleasantly surprised when I flashed my GT-N8013 with a GT-N8010 ROM and it turned my GT-N8013 into a GT-N8010 instead of bricking it. I hope this flexibilty turns out to be universal with ROMs for these two devices. I wish you all the best. Take care and have a good one!
Thank you,
Ed [Mister_Mxyzptlk]

Entropy already looked into this and he still hasn't find any difference yet, as far as i know. I think so far the only difference is the Wi-Fi support bands.

Hi there, i recently installed Foxhound 3.1 rom and everything was perfectly. it all went well for almost 1 week and all of a suden i lost my baseband (so no service) and my imei.
I have searched the foruns and tried a couple of suggestion like instaling another rom, trying to flash radio twice, etc but it doesnt seem to work since everytime i go up to the rom theres no service.
any idea on solutions? might this be due to the fact that i am 0x1 ? thanks!

hello i tried flashing the factory firmware and it doesnt work, any suggestion?
Has anyone updated to 4.3 official using any of the roms from sammobile? I see the nordic countries 4.3 is available, I normally use either this, the German or Swedish version, I've even used a Hong Kong one before now lol, but with the recent changes Sammy have made regarding knox and location lock etc, I'm a bit dubious to upgrade.
They normally just work, just checking this is still the case before I end up with an expensive paperweight.
There is a thread somewhere by chainfire with a fix to sammys region lock. The lion rom is pretty much stock with nox removed, you just have to use devil's kernel for wifi

Cheers mate. I flashed it the other day haven't got around to posting an update yet.
Yes it has knox, but I'm not going to be rooting this device because I use it for sky and a few other apps that require unrooted.
Impressions are good so far. Everything is smooth and all my apps are working as they were before, including the sky sports app which got an update recently to work with 4.3.
One thing to note though, if you use allshare cast dongle. It has a problem working with 4.3 devices that have been updated. So if you run into this issue the fix is to do a factory reset.
There is a workaround for rooted devices on here, it's in the S4 section.
A bit of a pain having to reset I know but seems to be the only solution for unrooted devices that run into it.

Hi mate
I'm also using the sky go app, and on stock 4.1 I've just been using ota rootkeeper to toggle root when needed. I really need root for the viper audio mod.
I'm just wondering which 4.3 ROM you've got it to work on? With 4.1.2 it NEEDS to be stock ROM and kernel for sky go to work. If I upgrade I want to get a ROM without knox, but any custom ROM won't work.
Please let me know as right I'm sticking to 4.1.2.
Thanks

There weren't any custom rom's available for the 7105 that were stock with knox/location lock removed when I last checked (may be different now?). I just used the nordic rom from sammobile.
If there's none available I think you'll need to wait for a dev to rip the rom and remove knox if you don't want it. Unless you have the time and skills to diy I got the skills but not the time, unfortunately
As I said, I'm not bothered about knox at the moment. I was more bothered by location lock, but I've not had any issue so far.

Some apps are funny as to what they decide is a security risk. Sky are so far up Apple's arse they tend to look for anything that's NOT as the manufacturer released as a security issue. It's actually bollocks but try telling them that.
My other Note 2 is rooted and running 4.3 without all the bs. But most of the apps I need simply won't install/run due to idiotic requirements of the app provider. Hence why I have a 2nd note 2 which has been rooted but I had to unroot and reset the flash counter to get these apps to work. Guess Sammy aren't too fussed, they did get 2 sales from me lol

His phone was working fine initially. Then sudden signal loss started to occur and need to restart the phone to get the signal back. Tried using different Indian carriers and the same issue continued. Will I be able to solve this issue by flashing a custom rom into his phone? Do I need to take care of anything else, like the modem firmware or something. Attaching a screen shot of his phone details. Please help guys..

You could try reflashing the same MDL firmware first. If that doesn't work, then install TWRP and try the different flashable modems.

Doing a factory reset is different from reflashing the firmware. I don't think the other modems would work, but I'm not entirely sure. If they're recovery zips you could try, but if they're ODIN files it definitely won't work.
