i have just ordered a note3 but when i watched the videos of the phone booting up it says SM-N9000Q. I checked the sammobile but there is no firmware or no model like that. Is this only for Turkey like Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 N8005?
In the other hand is this a bad or good thing to have N9000Q?
Does anyone know something about this model? what is the differences from N900?
Thanks,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46218461#post46218461
only thing that i really want to know is shall i cancel my order and order a SM-N9000?
it depends... first of all what do you expect? n9000q has a sticker on the box stating it is aimed to use in several European countries but as far as we read it seems like they sell it only at Turkey. so probably this means we will get updates later then other models and probably they will stop updating device while others got their updates. we have n8005 and n7000 as an example (n8005 fits this situation more and i don't have n7100 so don't know what is going on about it).
i wish samsung will correct this in note 3 but this is just a wish and if they don't.... for most this will not be a problem because they will never know if there is an update that their model haven't received and for some it again will not be a problem because they will root and install custom roms. others will have to live with it or sell the phone early then they planned to.

yeah, some of the first batch of notes sold online were the polish plus carrier locked model. i bought mine online here in australia and it ended up being the polish model, we've been slow to get updates. our last update was KKA.
just completed the update.
we are now on.
PDA - N7000XXLC1
Phone - N7000XXLB2
CSC - N7000PLSLB1
Baseband - N7000XXLB2
about time we got a beefy update. sucks that it isnt ICS though.
so its lc1 - polish plus released it few days ago
ahh yeah, I think I got lucky, my wife bought mine for me in November and I got the Debtel German model... so while I too am in Australia I've been getting pretty regular updates...
besides i get polish Orange carrier (non branded) Note and its still on kka officially ;p thanks god for odin
It's also sad what happened here a few weeks ago. Samsung spent a lot of money to promote the Galaxy Note, renaming the main subway station with "Sol Galaxy Note" and putting there people all day showing it. The problem is that they had only 3 units and all running KKA firmware. I pointed out that to the people there and they did not seem to even have an idea of what a ROM is.
If they want to show the device, load it with the best firmware available and up to date programs, not just the demo video.
In my experience, a real Samsung device will have the model # as the first few characters of the baseband, am I right or wrong?
My question is about determining fakes: Will a fake device have a baseband set up to look like a real Samsung baseband or will the fake device always have a baseband that looks nothing like a Samsung version?
I saw this webpage about fakes appearing in Thailand: http://www.soyacincau.com/2014/04/2...d-in-bangkok-and-it-looks-like-the-real-deal/. The basband shown in the photos looks nothing like anything I've ever seen on a Samsung device. I was just wondering if that holds true for all fakes - basically, would checking the baseband be the absolute fool-proof way to determine a fake device?
I live in Vietnam and Samsung makes their phones here. I see mobile store buying parts (still the exact parts from official phones) from unofficial sources, put it together and copy the official imei of an official phone to cheat the customers. Then they put them in boxes with seal and papers look exactly like a new phone...Those Samsung phones (most popular is note2 s4 note3 s5) works like **** and often have China battery and other parts.
The stores often tell the customers that those phone is carried from abroad and sell it at a cheaper price. (I bought mine at Samsung showroom for 800$ and they sell theirs for 600$)
It's best to buy from certified retailers.

I have the Note 3 but it's the HK 16gb variant. This has been an absolute pain in the donkey at times. The only RoM I really have working guaranteed is Miui, which is great, but ... Anyway, I will not want to fall for the same mistake twice.
I live in China too - and for some reason (probably the bands used) I have never got 4G to work on my Phone. I am pretty sure I don't want to get stuck with a model number from mainland china though, as I cannot read Chinese websites to root and get decent roms and Gapps etc. Really wish Google would stop getting banned in China.
Need it to work when travelling to the States and other countries too.
Any decent advise would be appreciated.
Cheers.
You should go for the international model (N910S)

The Note 4 just released in HK 2 days ago, and it's the Exynos version with 32GB storage.
Maybe you can still consider that...

Hey,
I want to buy a new device.
Most likely the S5 Plus, however It's not released yet in my country.
Neither do I know if it's gonna be released soon.
Does somebody know when it's officially coming to Europe? (Netherlands)
Greetings,
Meltina
it is already on sale in France
and there's some firmware available for netherland @ sammobile (vodafone ,t-mobile and PHN firmware !?)
https://www.vodafone.nl/shop/mobiel/telefoon/abonnement/samsung-galaxy-s5-gold.shtml?&abonnement=red-essential-d-2jr
S5 plus is worth waiting... i would spend a fortune for it but its not available here
Better CPU, and better LTE .. Don't think that's a lot to wait for though?
Would rather get pay a bit more and get note 4?
Hi. You can buy it also in Germany. Dont know where you live in the Netherland, but Nordhorn is directly by the border. You can get it there. Cheers
I would wait for the S6 by now. If you are a rooter you might wait for ever for proper tools. That happened to me with S4 4G version
I dislike QHD ;w;
More of an performance guy.
you can root g901f and there's one custom rom and one cwm based recovery
Hi. S6, Note4, Z3....all are maybe better....but also a bit greater. I have big hands but 5.1 or 5.2 i for me not easy to handle with hand.

I got it via Marktplaats (should ring a bell for you)
Rooted it, put CWM on it
Mine came with some T Mobile rom, I downloaded a Vodafone NL rom for it, flashed it with Odin, and that didn't have any branding
I did however remove some bloat apps, and even if you can't uninstall them you can still hide them
Send me a PM if you need help
hi,
so I just got the s7 edge olympic edition and i read that it had a different firmware from the normal one so I have a few questions :
Can I root it? install the custom roms that are on the forum? If yes witch ones do you recommend ?
I haven't been on xda since like 2011 so i don't know a lot about kernels and stuff.
thanks for the Help
Olympic edition comes in two versions. The one given out to athletes at the Olympic Village is an international Exynos version, which is rootable as far as I understand. I believe that this one has no warranty outside Brazil either. Second version is one of 2016 copies made (it will be numbered on the back). I am not sure if all 2016 were US versions but at least some are US and are not rootable, as they are on Snapdragon chip.
I have one of US snapdragon editions.
Also the firmware is same as regular unbranded version (935U), but with an Olympic theme installed.

Thanks for the answer . I got mine in Germany , the model number is G935F it has an Exynos chip does it make it suitable for rooting and installing custom Roms ?
Yes it should be fine. I assume you don't need Knox/Samsung Pay.
I'm curious, is yours one of the 2016 numbered editions? I hope they released a few hundred to each region.
I'm actually thinking of selling mine and buying international version. Mostly for better battery life. Many athletes that got theirs at the Village are now selling them on ebay so there are plenty of these to get.
Yeah number 1852 . Actually somehow I got it cheaper than the normal one and it had the gear fit 2 included . they are still selling them in Germany
