Hi guys, my dad is bring a n9008 back from China. It has the qualcom 800 cpu onboard. I have done alot research on this phone, and only found the guide to root and flash recovery. So my question is: is it possible to flash roms made for other variants( such as n9005) onto n9008? Since the n9008 won't support the wifi calling from TMO, i would rather put a CM or AOSP on it.

is it possible to flash a tmobile rom and have the wifi calling working?
as always, you got your phone from china, get help there, in other words, if you want support, get yor phones in your own country, imagine this, you will get a warranty also, is not that amazing?, yes you save some money buying overseas, or from a no one knows about seller, but, at the end, you get no support, think abot that in the future,
Pray its not a fake

well i got the phone as a gift. so its not my choice at first place.
so far i'm able to install all of the n9005 roms(x note, omega, lidroid) and everything works flawlessly.
the tmobile rom can be installed normally, but i just cant turn on the wifi( it stucks at turning on screen)
anyone got a solution to that?
Now you can install a CM11 ROM!
I too have been given a GN3 as a gift but it's the N9008 model.
I tried flashing the latest N9005 KK stock firmware, but I had no luck.
Do you know if there's a possibility of "changing" the model to a N9005? Hardware wise I believe they are exactly the same?
I imagine LTE is also not on this particular model? Am I correct to say that all Snapdragons are capable of having LTE? Would it be the firmware that "enables" LTE?
I don't really want to be on the Chinese firmware.
I've rooted the device and got gapps on their, but I'd rather a proper international firmware.
If anybody can help, it'd be great.

Hi all,
I recently bought a Galaxy S4 337M that was rooted and loaded with a custom ROM. I decided to go back to stock so went to sammobile.net and got the latest rogers firmware for my galaxy S4 (which they said was 4.3).
I loaded with ODIN, all went well, rebooted stock, but the max signal icon I can get now is 4G (even though I used speedtest and am getting close to LTE download speeds I think). Any idea why my LTE is gone ? Did I download the wrong ROM ?
I also noticed that none of the APN settings were there and no rogers apps were installed either. Makes me wonder if it was indeed a stock rogers rom after all.
Another strange thing is that it shows me a bell canada navigator update is available in the google play store, yet its not even on my phone. Regardless, even if its a Bell ROM by some chance, Bell Canada has LTE as well, so I am confused.
Btw I used the standard ltemobile APN settings that I always use on all my phones to get LTE (that always work)....
Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated, thanks so much !!!
My iPhone shows LTE using the same SIM...
PS. If I do need to get an original Rogers ROM, is sammmobile not the best place lol ? Any other places to go??

I believe that all I337M uses that same firmware but you need a CSC changer to make it change to your carrier as they don't release the specific ones with the carrier apps.
Search "Samsung CSC" in the play store and you should get one.
Thanks for the reply.
Seems I need root - which I deleted when doing a factory restore.
The strange thing is that it was supposed to be a rogers based firmware that I downloaded and flashed.
Maybe something went wrong in the flash.
Will try again.
And check out the CSC
i have a bell i337m and i have the same issue when flashing from a "custom rom to stock" and i have to flash the firmware using odin a second time and than i get my LTE icon enstead of the 4G icon, sounds weird and i can't explain why it takes 2 flashes to get it to show up proper, but it does.
i also have the problem with missing phone vendor apps, the second flash also makes these show up too.
also another thing i noted about my phone is if i don't root and install recovery to wipe, odin will dirty flash my roms, even though odin is supposed to wipe it isn't.
i've tested this to no ends, the results are 100% the same everytime.

After flashing the stock Rom, go back into stock recovery and wipe data and cache, then reboot that should fix it. To fix your csc issue there is a way to do it by dialling a number on your dialpad which includes your imei number then you choose a specific code. Search for it, google

Thanks so much for the replies and help.
I wiped the rom just for fun and rebooted and noticed that its actuality a BELL ROM (all stock BELL apps etc), but when I entered my rogers APN settings it still only showed H+, maybe due to network differences. It's frustrating because I specifically selected a Rogers S4 ROM from Sammobile.net. Any idea where I can get a stock rogers ROM for s4? Also do you think this may have affected my 4G/LTE issue ??
Either way, I will definitely flash the correct ROM twice, and then go back into stock recovery to to wipe data and cache.
Thanks again for all your help

follow this guide, http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones/ real easy, itll put you back to a rogers rom, all the firmwares on sammobile are BELL ROMS. you have to change the CSC yourself.
THAT WORKED
Thanks so much !!!
Thank you everybody in advance for the help you may provide.
Please could you help me to understand if i can fix my scl23?
This is the thing.
I got myself a KDI au gs5 scl23 with kitkat 4.4 and as i understand its rooted with a custon recovery, beacaus of the sim unlock, and the recovery its in japanese.
The phone works fine, but when i try to use it on ultra saving mode, its says that it`s samsung account isnt activated and doesnt allow me to change it(in the settings of the phone there isnt a way to change samsung account). So it bugs on that samsung account, and doesnt allow me to use internet and the keyboard when im on the ultra saving mode. By the way i live in Argentina and cant find anyone who speaks Japanese.
So, Trying to fix this samsung account problem i upgraded to lollipop 5.0, but it lock the phone and it doesnt get any antena signal, its says insert a sim, but there is no "no sim" mesage on the mesage board.
And now im dowloading the 4.4 firmaware files to downgrade it to 4.4 and to unlock it whith service menu commands.
Have anyone been able to unlock it with service menu on lollipop, or in any other way? Beacuase lollipop fixes the samsung account problem but olso locks the phone and installs custom AU rom, only in japanese or english laguage.
Thank you very much to everyone.
same here
This is the same thing that happened to me, did you manage to revert back and unlock the simlock on 5.0? Any luck upgrading to 5.0 and using your sim with the device.
cheers

Ended up downloading the 4.4 rom for phone again, installing that. Had to clear cache and do factory data clear to get phone booting again after downgrading. Then I was able to complete the Sim Unlock steps outlined here

Super frustrating using a phone like this, as it has so much bloatware from Japan which I just want to get rid of. But up and running now, with several replacement mods for keyboard, messenger etc
A lot of information out there, thank you internet and forums like this one for having so much information to get things working again. :victory:
Hi all,
Im new here and i was wondering how i would go with setting my phone back to factory settings after it was rooted "i purchased it like this" Bare in mind i live in australia and my model is SM-G900I and im locked to the australian OPTUS network, im needing the factory rom so i can reset the phone, been trying to find on but have had no luck
Thank you
If the ROM is stock but rooted, just reset it from either settings or recovery
If it's a custom ROM, get the stock ROM from sammobile .com and use ODIN to flash it

The problem is the APN and you can not modify it. Contact your carrier and see if they can assist.

ehrn i purchased the phone it was perfect. connecting internet was showing 4g.. but when i installed this original Verizon rom it became difficult.. now i am unable to root and install custom recovery... please guide me to root and install custom recovery TWRP and i want to install custim rom.. please help
@dipankar.c2bs
You might look into getting your CSC "sales_code" changed. I'm not sure if that is entirely the problem, but it is likely related. Even the USA Verizon ROMs come preloaded with databases that are used to provide custom parameters for a variety of carriers and locations world-wide. (See the file /system/csc/imsprofile.xml for example) I suspect the way this information is actually used is through the "sales_code" CSC value, but I'm not 100% sure of that.
I'm guessing you want "INS" or "INU" instead of VZW
What you currently have:
Code:
getprop | grep -i csc
If your handset is supported by Airtel, one of their technicians will probably know how to do the CSC change, possibly without even rooting the phone.
If it not supported, they probably will be under orders of their employer not to help you at all. But, is is easier for them to give you advice face-to-face, rather than over the telephone (subject to monitoring), if that is possible.
A question to ask - a form of social engineering - is this: "do you know of someone in the area that can help me for a small fee?"
[EDIT]
There is one other possibility for a non-rooted phone. I really don't know if this would work (I am speculating here), but the basic idea is to apply a CSC for a closely related device Model (a SM-N90???? Qualcomm model, hopefully for CDMA/LTE) that is for your country and carrier on top of your existing ROM using Odin. Get the CSC file from Sammobile, and:
- wipe the entire phone using the stock recovery. (You can remove the external SD card first if you like)
- boot the phone, shut down, boot into stock recovery.
- wipe the entire phone again in the stock recovery
- boot into Odin and flash the CSC in the CSC slot.
- boot the phone; do a minimal configuration and see if you have the service you want.
Note that @donc113 s advice given above is the right place to start: ask your service (Airtel) to help you before you try anything yourself.
good luck.
when i purchase it was good... there was 4g indicator also.. no verizon boot screen.. but now it dont works..

One of your friends who installed the stock ROM apparently didn't understand the consequences of what he did. Stock ROMs set the APN for Verizon. Did this friend happen to make a backup before he did the ROM switch?
