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]

I did every XDA-worthy member would do. I nandroid backed the hell out of my rom. But after flashing back nandroid rom, signal is still elusive.
I have downloaded the stock rom and flashed it. Modem came back.
I figured out a way to extract the modem.bin from the stock rom. Therefore if I flash the custom rom for N7100 which bust my modem, I can flash the modem.bin from my N7105 stock rom to regain modem in my custom rom right? Wrong. something more than modem.bin is messing with the signals if one flashes an N7100 custom rom unto an N7105 rom.

i wanted to look at contents compared to the US/Asian LTE devices, and so far those firmwares look the same, so the freq change is in the chipset. but i checked the leak US firmware and that one also had cdma features so although similar it was featuring cdma instead of gsm.
like n7100 for different reqions got pretty much the same firmware with changes to brand and whatever smaller software change they make for that country.
point was if the frequency issue was software or hardware, and so far the n7105 europe firmware looks similar besides the fact a US firmware got cdma, and confirmed is that it is very different from n7100 radio firmware and should not be installed.
On sammobile tgey have it too ... just take a look ...

well, i assume all libril and libsec and those related to controlling LTE as well.
but since 7100 and 7105 are so different radio wise, there might be something else used to controll radio than what 7100 uses, which could be required in the roms for 7100, but maybe soon we will see roms for both devices at the same time.

Have you encountered the "Processing failed" message when you register your device to be able to recieve OTA updates after flashing the rom? I did. I don't really rely on OTA upgrades since i flash roms, but it does bug me a bit knowing that i dont have that option.

Hopefully when official philippine jb rom comes, the csc will match so ota upates can now be enabled..

Its is because you have flash rom which is not for your region and hence you get this error, you can either live with it or change the CSC code to the rom you installed the only issue then would be you will get updates for that particular region in future

Just install one of the stockish MF3 based ROMs or International Update based ROMs from the development section and you will have the best of both worlds. You will get any enhancements from the update (if there really is any) and still be able to keep custom recovery and use other ROMs / themes / etc.
If you update to MF3 (OTA) you will lose the ability for custom recoveries and ROMs.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the tip mate
Will give it a go when I'm back from work and let you know
Why not just flash the bootloader from DN3 it works with all the official roms and is knox free?

Yeah I will probably do that at some point.
I'm assuming I can restore my nandroid backup to 4.1.2 if I'm not happy?
The xposed mod unfortunately didn't work... Thanks anyway
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
