Hello i have a Chinese Star N7189 its on stock Google android 4.2.2 how would i get full Samsung firmware the actual note 2 firmware, is it even possible? Mobile Odin doesn't work on my phone either. Please reply if you have some knowledge on this. Thanks!
Maybe it will work...maybe you will brick your phone.
Your phone is a clone. depending on how accurately the makers copied the phone, you may have success....but it is not likely.
Won't work. Don't even try.

impossible.
N7189 is mtk-6589 based, hence the model name.

Is it the Exynos Octa-core model? - If it is you can search around for compatable firmware.
If it happens to be the N9005 snapdragon model you can do the same -
Just flash Stock firmware you require on to the device.
I can't find the firmware anywhere to see what device it has come from.
model number
my phones model number is SM-N9000
hope that helps you to help me.
Ok so head over to the developer section for the Exynos version, and have a browse around what radios and firmware there is available for your device. -- Are WIND an Mvno for a different company? - if so check in that carriers sub forum/information thread.

Hi, tried searching and found two diff rom' to download into my phone.
So I downloaded one to my phone sd, but now its saying that it is not able to open format.
I believe I need to install or somehow get a flash to install it, but don't know how I would do that.
can someone help.
You need to read a little bit more, before you can install a new ROM or flash anything you need a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP -- Now to make you aware if you do this you will trigger your KNOX warranty and void it.. so think very carefully before deciding. - make sure you read as much as possible and that you have the right tools, ROM etc to hand. Or you could find yourself in deep trouble.

Is our i9301i device gets the Android 5.0 update from Samsung?
Sorry for my ****ing English ...
It is highly possible that we will get update to 5.0. I beleive we will get update since we have same soc as moto g that is officialli supported by google , it wont be hard to port it to our device. If samsung doesnt do that there is always CM 12

Thank you very much for the quick reply.
I have another question: Your cyanogenmod project for our device has Hebrew language? (That the i9300 has Hebrew).
They might update it, seeing as it's a new phone carrying the flagship name. It would seem pointless to release an "improved" model of the S3, only to abandon it 7 months later. Then again, this is Samsung we're talking about, so they might just release an S4 Neo with 5.0 instead.
Everything is possible!!!
Hope to get our cure for this devices. I think with official 5.0 L, the device will run more smoothly. Who knows - may be only Samsung. We must pray to get official announcement!
i dont think so bcz the reason behind 4.4.4 is neo was released after s3 so they give official update to s3 neo not to s3.
If samsung left this phone with out update for 5.0 this will be my last samsung phone.

I hope this isn't going to happen. I think to send email to sLamsung to doing something about their product.
I am disappointed.
I installed CM12 On my galaxy s3 neo I9301I and got i problem of no data connection and no wifi connection at all. I spent 48 hours in frustration. I had my nandroid backup but when i tried to back that up, i was stucked, all apps were stoped. Then i tried my level best to find the solution. Unfortunately, my mobile baseband is I9301IXXUANF2 and there is no proper single stock firmware for this baseband at all. Then i made my account here and ask for help to a member. He helped me to solve my problem but all in vain. After that i download a firmware of baseband I9301IXXUANH2 for region Pakistan. Luckily that is for 3 variants including mine. Now my problem is solved.
Please do some thing to improve CM12. I love it's UI and speed but due to those problems i am not able to enjoy that.
I am from Pakistan.
And hey guys is there any difference between baseband and build number? After flashing my mobile is showing baseband I9301IXXUANF2 and build number I9301IXXUANH2, is it fine??????
Hi
Background: I am usually very thorough when buying a new phone. This time I Wasn't well for many days and in the hospital. Urgently needed a new phone and ordered 1 online from a used shop. I specially wanted i9500.. no other variant..
I got one, it said i9500 on the back cover (echted in the plastics and well as the paper... which said made in india.. also the paper/sticker wasn't samsung quality but maybe since it was used, and indian made, i thought ok..
Now I inserted my sim and turned it on... Some chinese s***t! then samsung logo then the TouchWiz.. But there were many chinese apps as well. AND IT DID NOT DETECT MY SIM. Settings say its an i9500.. it felt like a samsung but something was off... In camera, as soon as I took a pic, phone got shut off! Had to take out battery... (btw, it says android 4.42 and when I go to Update.. .Samsung says it cant as device has been modified)
reformatted phone... more chinese sh*t, then Android loads up and there is no play store!
So I downoad a Darky ROM for i9500 and try flashing.. viola!! success.. Android 5.0.1
It said Sim not registered... then that message dissappears and now it shows me FULL SIGNALS but when I try to dial anything, it says Not registered on network! - WHen I went to settings... in device it is now saying:SM-903F (is that a ROM thing or is that the real phone model I have..?)
Can someone please help me.. the phone is very important here in my hosp.. cant type/read a lot of my laptop, it is very energy comsuming
Regards
P.S My location is Pakistan
See if you can enter download mode (Volume down and Power). If you can get into download mode, read off the model number displayed on screen. If you can't, the S4 is counterfeit.
The phone could also be a combination of various parts from different hardware versions of the s4.
Also, check to see if the imei is okay.

Yes bro, I can see the IMEI..
I tried flashing another ROM (TouchWiz) - Still sim is not recognized (but signal bars goes to full.. even if I take out the SIM.. guess thats a ROM issue)
Anyways, still stuck.. Which modem should I try flashing... :|
I was going to suggest a stock 9500 rom from sammobile.com but there are only ROMs for the 9500, not 9500chn.
Googling the model 9500chn links to other people that have the same problem when trying to flash another rom.

The phone model become GT-I9500CHN because of Chinese bootloader that unfortunately very hard to get rid of this stuff.
______
Your phone might be trying to connect to China Mobile or China Unicom that uses TD-SCDMA instead of WCDMA for most regions.
Also, after you install DarkLord S6 port on your device, you'll get phone model on About device as SM-G903F (Galaxy S5 Neo) instead of the normal one for more compatibility (according to the developer).
I would try to check the IMEI online to see if this is original or not (ilegally tampered from other device).

Cheap chinese fake replicas. All ib one line.
Do nothing about it. Ordering online was the worst decision.
Now there are threads here on how to manage these clones. Read one of them

I hate chinese like u do... but this is not cheap
and it is actually a REAL Samsung Galaxy
problem is its GT-i9500CHN - aargghhhhhh - pain doubling... due to me being in hospital. cant go outside to kill someone
If you flashed custom ROMs and them boot, it's not a clone. I9500 performs an Exynos CPU, Chinese clones a Mediatek one, so just for this ROMs couldn't even boot.
All you can do is try to flash a stock firmware from SamMobile, an I9500 firmware coming from China, and see what happens.
By the way, I think this guy bought a Chinese (Genuine) I9500, then rooted it for install Google Apps, that would probably be the reason of the GApps disappearing after formatting (as far as I know, Chinese phones have a backup partition where an emergency copy of the stock firmware is located, I don't know if Samsung does this as well).
For the SIM problem, it's probably simlock, and it probably works only with a determined Chinese operator (or, again, it probably doesn't supports Pakistan's signal bands).
All you can do is check your IMEI on some dedicated site and see if it's simlock, then if it's not, check if the bands that your phone supports are compatible with Pakistan ones.
Sorry for my bad english.

Again, China's bands are TD-SCDMA, not WCDMA as we use mostly over the world.

Once again, GT-I9500CHN is just from the bootloader. Installing any GT-I9500 firmware should work.

Hello XDA Members
I tried to flash a stock rom into this s8 plus retail demo model# G955XU through ODIN 3.12.3 using stock firmware from sammobile. I get a PASS from ODIN but when the phone reboots and tries to install the files it goes upto 32% then restarts then this message comes up:
"Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost"
I tried 3 different firmware from BELL, Rogers & Telus G955W Canadian carriers but no result. Also when I unzip the firmware files from Sammobile I get 5 files BL. Ap. CP. CSC_OYA & Home_CSC_OYA but in odin there are only 4 slots. I tried both home and CSC file into the CSC slot but no results. Your help will be greatly appreciated
Why do you want demo mode? It's literally a resource hog and can only be removed with hard reset. If you want the demo videos that come preloaded, you can download them from the Samsung retail website

Thought the same thing, 1st post, joined today, asking to flash a demo phone. I'm sure theres ways of getting a demo phone legitimately, i just haven't heard of one this early in a phones lifecycle.

kind of wondering the same. hopefully that's not the case, but yeah, kind of comes off that way with the little information given.
Hello
Hello there
I am facing the same problem, flashed with Odin and got and error message: The phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is Locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support.
Any way around this problem?
Do let me know guys
In Europe for the S6 and S7 the demo units do not have the same hardware as the retail products for cost efficiency. There is therefore no way to get them to work with a retail software version.
I have not had any feedback as to the S8 but chances are that it is the same.
Shops here often get them free of charge and some do sell them to make some extra money.

1. Sounds like a stolen phone?
2. Hardware may be, and likely is, different as another user pointed out.
3. Even if you got it to work you couldn't make phone calls or use mobile data as the IMEI will likely be blocked/blacklisted by all the telcos.
Hey there guy I got a S8 SM-G950X LDU . Anybody knows how to flash it with odin?
This just doesnt seem right.
It is likely a stolen phone or something else.
I am closing thread for now.

if you want it for free. use the regular download option in Sammobile. only the premium is paid.
start the download and leave it for the night, it will be complete by morning. Get to download mode. flash via odin.
Vast majority of custom roms work well on 9005 .
