Until dev get their hands on the LTE version you have to live with it. I'm sure the Korean Note 2 works on all bands except USA if that's what you're asking.

I thought Korea version SHV-E250s have supports different bandwidths, will it support the 3G and 4G EE in UK though~~~

you can root the E250S by flashing recovery.img found in these forums in odin
DO NOT flash boot.img that is sometimes also in the odin tar file or you will not be able to boot into android or recovery.
(although to fix simply flash the stock boot.img back)
source: I rooted mine
(32GB version, LTE)

Thread open until verified...Thank You.

Any pic to proof? I assume this will work for N7105 too... Care to explain step by step tutorial?

This will work for E250K? I suspect that it should right?

Any progress on rooting the Korean Note 2? How many people on this forum have a Korean Note 2? Mine is the E250L (LG telecom)

I have the SHV-E250L (LG U+) and I going to try to stay unrooted.
This info only applies if you are in Korea but with my last Korean Galaxy phone, I took it to the A/S center to get a broken earphone replaced, and they tapped into my phone for 20 minutes trying to prove that it was rooted so they can deny me a free replacement. I know that is just bad luck with the service staff that day. But once they verified that it wasn't rooted, they gave me new earphones. To avoid that kind of hassle because the service at least for the first year is great (free shattered screen replacements while you wait and such), I think try to keep it unrooted for as long as possible. Let's see how long I can hold out...
Most of the reasons I rooted and put roms in the past was to gain access like wifi tethering, better battery life, and better functionality, but none of those are issues with this device. Wifi tethering is enabled without restrictions out of the box and without extra charge.

Some questions about this device
Hi All,
Since this seems to be the only GN2 version available with 32gb internal storage, I am feeling a strong temptation to buy it. However, I do have some concerns I am hoping you owners can address:
1) Is the DMB antenna obvious? I looked at the Samsung Korea site, and most of the photos don't show it. Does it retract or detach in some way? I know I won't be able to use it in the US so am hoping it will be easy to forget about.
2) Does it have a FM radio receiver like the international version?
3) Is the user experience the same as the international version if English is selected as the default language?
Ideally I would like to eventually be able to flash an international rom into the device, but I know that's not possible now. Are any of the current owners expert enough to offer an educated guess as to whether it will be possible in the future?
Thanks for your help and advice.

[Q] Custom Roms for GT-I9507

Hi All,
I just got my Galaxy S4 GT-I9507 (optus AU) and noticed there is not much reference to it here.
Does anyone know if the guides for root, flashing etc are compatible with this model and if there are any limitations on loading a custom rom?
Thanks

What method did you use to root and install a custom recovery?
I'n trying to flash the cf auto chainfire using odin, but i'm being told off for there being no PIT file supposedly.
EDIT: Disregard that, the issue appears to be that I had my cable plugged into a USB 3.0 port.

Flashing any modem on this variant is next to impossible.
Flashing roms is fine, but i can't seem to flash any modems lol.

Same here all 4.4 roms lose signal as soon as I out the device to sleep. I need to reboot to get optus coverage again. I could not flash any modem. I think we need a 4.3 compatible modem to come out for the 9507

Hi,
I have been playing around with a few Roms some work most don't, The signal loss can be temp fixed by putting the mobile into Aircraft mode or turning off the data then re starting the programs.
Hopefully our i9507 Modem problem will be fixed soon (with the help of the genius`s on this forum)

Hi
Tried some kit kat roms a while ago and had dropouts so I updated to stock JB.... 4.3. I haven't noticed any drop-outs since.
Knox is a hardware level issue. It cannot be reset and it will void your warranty. What I understand is that once
your phone is rooted the knox displayed when entering download mode goes from 0*1. Have a look at this thread to explain knox.

Something weird in stock recovery.

So I have been restoring to stock every time I flash a new rom, even when updating, and for some reason, after going to stock with odin, my phone usually doesn't boot up, so I go to the samsung recovery and the little android guy is dead and the front door hatch thing is open with a red triangle and exclamation mark, I usually just wipe data from here and it boots, but I have always seen this and I am not sure why. Anyone know why?
Thanks
Joe
Edit* I might add that when I go to wipe, the guy stands up and it looks fine but then he goes back down.

Have you tried doing a factory reset directly after using ODIN?

That's normal, you almost always have to do a factory reset after Odin. Otherwise you'll get a boot loop.

If you don't know what that means than you sure as hell shouldn't be flashing Roms or anything like that because if you dont know the basics than you sure don't need to be stepping up on a course from the basics. Take your time to read before messing with your phone and end up with a $600 paperweight.

There are ODIN files available for both MDL and MF3 and with Safestrap, custom ROMS can be flashed to MF3. So it is a fair question considering the OP didn't specify. However, it appears that the OP has a Canadian variant (Canadian carrier) which means my advice about the factory reset still stands.

None of that matters. It doesn't matter what you knew about other phones, it matters what you know about THIS phone. Thinking previous knowledge of other phones is all you need will guarantee a brick with this one.

If you haven't heard of them than by all means I'm glad something weird happened to your stock recovery because it doesn't matter what other phones you flashed Roms on all that matters is THIS phone and if you don't know anything about this phone especially KNOX than I suggest you read.

It appears he's not asking about the meaning of, "what firmware are you on", but rather about the screwed up quote (post #6) herbzilla attempted asking, "This makes no sense to ask. He clearly states that he flashes custom ROMs and uses Odin to flash back to stock.".
Plus, he is on a Canadian carrier so "MDL" or "MF3" would mean nothing to him.
There is a lot of misunderstanding in this thread.

If I might add,he still needs to read all about his model phone .it gets tiring for some to see another thread about anything thats been covered already or is basic knowledge.

N900V Bootloader Bypassed + Custom Recovery...may be possible on N900A?

The Verizon Note 3 variant N900V has had it's bootloader bypassed by @Hashcode and custom recovery has now been achieved on that device. I talked to @bajasur who is running their bounty thread and he believes that the same safestrap method could possibly be used on the N900A (our version).

The difference is ATT in addition to a locked bootloader made SELinux Enforcing. The VZW has permissive from what I've read.

I am probably completely wrong as Android is a different beast than regular Linux but, in the Linux OS world SELinux has little to do with the bootloader. It is a set of modules that load once the OS begins to boot up as part of the kernel in runlevel 1. So by the time the SELinux modules are loading you are already "booted". I hope this is the case for Android as well as I am past my 14 days on this phone and love the hardware I just would really like to be able to run some custom kernels and load AOSP based roms if I choose to. This is certainly the last phone I will be buying from AT&T regardless, so disappointed.

Normally it doesn't have anything to do with the bootloader but in this case since we can't crack or modify the bootloader we have to hijack the real /system into loading a recovery on a special partition along with a fake /system located on the internal sdcard. Whether or not SELinux enforcement policies prevent this or causes problems later if it does boot, we don't know yet. What it does do for sure is make it more difficult.

Same

Same here. I hate that AT&T is doing this. It's crazy how the tables have turned, as it used to be (As with the S4) we would get a way to flash a recovery before the VZW variant, but now it seems that has changed. Is the Knox option only on our variant or is it on VZW too?

I got super excited when I first saw this but then depressed when I found out that it hasn't fully been achieved... what is the difference from the way that the s4 was cracked? It had knox too didn't it?

Unfortunately the bootloader is still locked and hasn't been bypassed. What safestrap does is hijack the boot process once it reaches the /system partition. That is after the bootloader. It then runs a modified recovery. This is why you can't run custom kernels on it yet. The /boot partition is still protected. Don't get me wrong though it's a huge step in the right direction.

Kit Kat OR Lollipop

What are you currently running and why?
I performed my first root a week ago and downgrading to kit Kat was awesome. I've tried Moar and optimal Roms for lollipop now and my battery still gets wrecked.
I do use my phone a lot, streaming audio and Web / forum use. However, even after debloating and greenifying all apps aside from streams, I still can't make it all on day on 100% battery.
Would swapping to a Kit Kat rom help? What do you suggest?
Examples of use: pandora, podcasts, netflix, HBO go, plex, tapatalk, etc. I keep 50% brightness all the time.
Any tips welcome!
G900V OC4 5.0 OptimalRom: via Tapatalk
------------------
edit: last night, I reflashed optimal based off oc4 lollipop 5.0, skipped wizard and ran the adb debloater. aside from that. calibrated my battery, running greenish on all apps except video and audio streams. I run minimal WiFi data Bluetooth and no location services with 50% brightness.
my battery life is still just OK.

Everything I've read said it's incompatible. Can anyone confirm this is possible???
That would make my day !
G900v OEM, not dev edition

Thank you. Sadly, all 4 mirrors go to the same link and the combined file size (File Size: 91.79 MB) looks a bit off for a ROM.

In my country here is 12 am night so i will let u know by tomorrow if there is any cm rom for your device

Thank you for responding. It's very very difficult to get any senior advice or responses here :\
I get it as I am a member of many other forums and you get sick of the repeated questions. However, I've done hours of google searches and can't come to any conclusive answers.

I get that you're trying to help, but if you don't own the device and don't know the nuances of the phone how much can you really help. Lucky he didn't follow your advice, try flashing CM12, and brick his phone.

You cannot flash CM12 on this phone, and I don't think you can flash custom kernels. This is because the Verizon Galaxy S5 has a locked bootloader. As you have already found, you can flash SOME custom Touchwiz ROMs but not many. As far as Kit Kat versus Lollipop, that is really a personal preference in terms of what features you are looking for in a ROM and OS version.

The link you gave is for the KLTEVZW which is the developer edition not the retail version like the OP has. Completely different phones in that the dev edition has an unlocked bootloader and the retail version does not. Dev edition can run CM, retail version cannot. Just a helpful fyi for you and the OP.
