GT-N7000 N7000ZSLA2 ## Android 2.3.6 2012 January N7000OZSLA2 Hong Kong Download
Anyone tried ?
Using it. Same as updates as LA4 if nothing more. Only problem is the torch widget. It doesnt work like the one on LA4 where it has 3 different brightness of the light.... All 3 tier of the brightness is the same on mine. But that could be cause by the speedmod kernel i am using

this is caused by kernel, yes! the 3 steps only work on original samsung kernels!
Is it a wipe rom?
no it is not.

the "new text memo" and "new drawing memo" buttons of S Memo look different now. anybody knows what's changed?
On my Austrian Note (ATO), it has very old software (XXKKA from November). And both OTA and Kies updates says no updates available.
What do I do? Reset and change sales country code to German for example, which is known to be getting updates (in that case what number is best for latest updates)?
Or should I forget about official update process and download and install it manually? (in this case where is good source to download it? Also is it Odin software that I will need to update?)
Thank you.

Kies always has problem. it's like a girl on he rperiod, u never know when th eupdates gonna pop. just go to the dev section there should be a sticky on official roms and instruction to flash it. Recomend mobile odin. Never have to worry about root again and it doesnt jack up you binary counter. Do pay attention if the rom is wipe or none wipe tho, just in case u want to sav your data.

I'm unable to update to LA2 from KK1 via OTA. Tried several times with or without ext SD card, rooted/unrooted through CWM, energy saving mode on or off etc. everytime fails at 10%.
My Note is rooted using Zergrush exploit explained at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
All root apps work so I got the right KK1 Kernel.
Anyone else having this issue? I understand using Kies will break my root so what other method can I use to update to HK's LA2 without loosing root?
For what it's worth... my Note being on KK1 is really fast ... if it ain't broke... what benefits would I have running at LA2?
Any ideas?
upgrade with kies, then root it again.
other method will wipe every apps and data. such ad odin.

in another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22265523#post22265523 someone did just that but now isn't able to root anymore because LA2 isn't directly rootable.... DR Ketan suggested using CWM or odin Mobile Pro instead... problem is I'm not entirely sure where to download the latest HK rom to use with CWM...

From my experience it is just boot into recovery mode (samsung), then select root.zip from sdcard. More or less the same method. CWM kind of out dated.
I did this kind of root for Samsung ACE, galaxy tab etc, surely can do so for note. Maybe needing old keneral as intermid steps. Like S2 etc.
No worrys 無問提*^_^*

For the Hong Kong People, the only way to upgrade and keep root, is to use Mobile Odin. Explained in the sticky in the Dev Section.
If you need to download the firmware, there is a hotfile link in the sticky, or alternately google Checkfus, and download version 2.1 for PC. Run it, select android, select GT-N7000, and then Hong Kong, and download. (Or any other if you want them)
Move it to your device and flash via mobile odin.
exactly! did just that... installed / bought Odin Mobile Pro, downloaded the latest ROM and flashed. Got LA2 now and still have root
you can now use the black wallpaper as lockscreen without the banding.
I was on XXLA4, I then flash to ZSLA2 using mobile odin. While Applying multi-csc it said couldn't access /system/*/XEU/* folder.
It then went into manual mode and I chose reboot. Everything looks fine except when I check the version using *#1234#, the CSC is unknown.
Flashed back to XXLA4 and got the same error. Again everything seems fine, phone came back up but *#1234# list CSC as unknown. Anyone seen this before?
Thanks

Yes, Iv'e had this when coming from another CSC.
Usually once I flash back to stock TGY firmware, I boot into android, then set up skipping the google services, and reboot into recovery and it corrects itself. I.e. This with stock firmware / kernel.
The last time i did this, flashed an update using mobile odin, and the csc files refused to apply, so I extracted the CSC zip and flashed manually in recovery. All was well then, and I could choose TGY again.

Yep. Same issue here. Updated via mobile Odin pro and CSC is unknown.
Can you provide a link where to download /get the CSC zip for TGY?
What option or menu did you use in recovery mode?

I extracted it. Will post here, as it needed to be changed to ext4 format etc.. Blah blah blah. Give me 5 mins .
EDIT: 5 minutes up, here it is. Just flash in recovery, then your CSC should be fine. May need to change it, and remember when you do, it WILL WIPE YOUR DATA!
THIS IS THE TGY CSC FILE FROM LA2 ROM.
I just realize that we may not need to worry about the CSC not showing under *#1234# as apparently it is still there...
Have a look at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124900
There is a short code *#272*IMEI# to check your sales code, in our case TGY for Hong Kong.
Also when rooted you can navigate to /efs/imei/ then look for the file "mps_code.dat" and open as text with a text editor. this is where you would change the CSC code if you wish to change to other region.
That also shows the Note still has it's original CSC code.
Anyway, saves me the hassle of wiping the whole phone and restoring all apps and content all over again.
I understand that if you want to keep root in future FW updates it's better to flash them with Odin Mobile Pro rather than Kies / Odin / OTA which will remove root.
Just my 2 cents
I'm with Bell (Canada.) I was hesitant to root this device as it's a pretty significant investment, but I have rooted my original note with few issues, so I figured it should work as long as I follow every step carefully. Well unfortunately, upon first trying to root it, apps would start updating right at bootup, and SuperSU continuously crashed. So I decided I was just going to restore it to my original state and be done with it for now. Nope. Once I did this, the phone would just enter a boot cycle. (How does restoring my backup place me into a boot cycle?)
The only SM-N900W8 firmware downloads I can find are for south american regions... I have tried one of them and it failed to install. I am a bit panicked at the moment. Is there some crucial step I'm missing here?

If you restored through TWRP there is a good chance that you are softbricked. There are restoring issues that mess with the system partition.
Update: I was able to flash the tar file from inside the zip of mexican firmware through odin (I was trying to install the zip through TWRM before... perhaps you need to install stock firmwares through odin? It's been a while.)
It's not rooted, and the icons are all different looking... but it's back in working condition

You know what.. Me being a dumbass tried again to root it after restoring it to the mexican firmware, and now I have the same problem. And now the restore isn't working this time. Why did it work once and not again? Who knows? I just keep trying to factory reset and reflash the firmware, but I'm getting nothing but bootloops.
Could this be a Knox created problem? The reason I say this is you were able to restore a "new" (unknown to Knox) firmware, but it failed on the second time (as it is now no longer newer). I wonder if you were able to find a firmware with a later number (ex ...H2 rather than ...H1) it would install?

I was trying the Peru one for a while, but it kept hanging up during the bootup. The message was in a foreign language, but I'm assuming it was "initializing". It would initialize for about 3 minutes then an error message would pop up saying something is not responding.
Did you try recovery factory reset right after Odin does the root and installs the files?

Well I have been trying to. When I flash the firmware in odin, it reinstalls the stock recovery mod. Right after flashing firmware, it won't go into recovery mode on the first boot (first does some android robot install thing, then boots up). I attempted to install the TWRP recovery directly after the firmware, and then booting directly into recovery to factory reset, but I'm still getting a boot loop.

I tried below but my phone is struck at intital logo Samsung galaxy S4 screen its not turning on.
Install and run Chainfire's TRIANGLE AWAY (I9505 ONLY, I9500 is NOT SUPPORTED YET)
NOTE: There is an option "System modified workaround", please tick this and restart your phone. Device Status should be back to OFFICIAL!! Use it with caution!!
Next few steps are ONLY for people who couldn't reset it with Triangle Away...
1. Reboot into Download Mode and check if Binary & System are OFFICIAL.
2. Only if the BINARY Status is still Custom, download and extract OFFICIAL STATUS MOD(.tar.md5): GT-I9500 or GT-I9505 - open in Odin as PDA (password: djembey2013)
3. In some cases FACTORY DATA RESET (Phone Settings=>Accounts=>Backup & reset =>Factory Data Reset) is required to reset Device Status.
You probably just need to do a factory reset. If the Odin flash was successful, simply boot into recovery (volume up+home+power) delete user data. reboot.
not working
still struck on samething no progress after logo
need serious help
my phone is not working need urgent help
Why do you start messing with your phone when you have no idea what you are doing? Thats just dumb.
What are you doing with Triangle Away? Do you have any idea what it does?
Stop messing with your phone before you make it worse! Just chill and start reading the forums!

If you can boot to android, then go to Settings, touch more then scroll down find and touch about device, then touch status, scroll down and see the serial number

Kies won't work because you have a custom rom installed.
Why dont you just flash a custom rom in the recovery?
1. Do a factory reset in recovery. Wipe system/data/cache.
2. Flash a custom rom.
3. Boot.
It's as simple as that.
Or do you want to flash a stock rom? If so, make sure you flash a knox disabled stock rom.

I'm sure you can get it running with odin. Download Odin ver 3.07. Download the stock mh6 firmware from sammobile.com. it's a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that file in odin, PDA slot. Only have auto-reboot checked in Odin.
Hi there all,
I've been encountering a weird issue with the i9505 S4 XUBMF8. For whatever reason, I am currently unable to flash custom ROMs on it. The phone is KNOX-free and I have previously flashed custom ROMs on it before. I am able to root via CF Auto Root, install Triangle Away, but whenever a file is copied onto the phone's storage it never completes successfully (for example Broodplank's ROM will always be 10-15mb short). Even downloading the custom ROM directly onto the phone via stock Browser results on a Status 7 error.
Changing from CWM Recovery to Team Win doesn't help either, nor changing usb ports / computers and cables. (I've used both Generic and Samsung-branded ones.)
This is a phone which has previously managed to run custom ROMs, flashes stock Samsung ROMs and Radios via Download Mode fine, and installs "unknown" .apks fine as well.
Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?
Summary: Phone currently running stock XUBMF8 (Firmware it came out of the box with), roots fine and installs custom Recoveries fine, flashes fine via Download mode. Just refuses to copy files properly (despite multiple formats / factory resets / flash stock firmware) and refuses to flash custom ROMs via custom Recoveries.

XUBMF8 is android 4.2.2 for branded phones:
- Spain (yoigo) or Poland (Play)
* Solution could be flash one stock rom for unbranded phone if is your case. Anyway if u conect ur phone to Kies and tell me ur CSC I can tell u what stock firmware is good for your unbranded phone

It's unlocked, yes. This mobile was actually originally bought in Malaysia, unbranded and unlocked. I could not find any Malaysian XUBMF8, so I downloaded the SingTel one as an alternative whenever I needed to reset my phone to stock.

Hi there,
Apparently that doesn't work. I've tried resetting with stock, custom recoveries and through TouchWiz itself. It still gets the Status 7 error. Toggling "Verification Check" results in a failure, even though the MD5 checks out.
I really am at wits' end here...

Anybody?
I'm running out of ideas, and after extensive searching it seems i'm the only one with this problem.
I updated to stock 5.1 from 5.0.2 yesterday. Prior to this I had LTE 4G on T-Mobile. Now I'm back to 3G . Does anyone else have this experience? and are ther any solutions out there I could use?
I'd value any input or advice on this issue.
Thanks
I tried too to revert 4g on my 5.1 n4 but after i wiped everything ( excepting system ... ) i got a lovely bsod ( blank screen of death ) i don't think is a sollution yet , if i done something wrong someone please explain us how to get it properly back w/o probs , wait for some ideas thanks .
You'll obviously need to be sure the hybrid modem is installed. Beyond that as I recall, I had to "force" it to see the LTE network by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting "LTE only" for the connection. After that I was able to set it to "LTE/GSM auto" and it has worked correctly since.

I tried that but it did not offer the ability to make that change. I could on 5.0.2. I'm not sure where to get the hybrid modem? any Ideas would be helpful. also does anyone know which hybrid modem to use for T-mobile? Thanks
Go to settings -> About Phone
The Android software version number and baseband (modem) version will be listed. If the last 2 digits of the baseband version is greater than 33, you will not have LTE capability.

Thanks for the reply and info.
I did check that, but I'm not clear what you mean when you refer the Baseband Version last 2 digits
I also have that App installed and it does how seem to work with 5.1 It does not look like its been updated recently
any Ideas?

Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B77BTW0zStYCS2JPNG1kNnNIamM/view?usp=sharing (LTE Enabler 2.13)
Reboot to Recovery and flash above LTE .zip
Reboot
Done
I'm sorry for being a little slow on this, but when you say reboot to recovery, what do you mean exactly? I have the file downloaded though. Is this a hack or is this something that was made for this phone by Google? I guess what I'm asking is, could I screw up my phone from doing this and if I do, can I revert back to where I had it prior to this if it doesn't work or don't like it?

Connect your phone via usb
Then use the advance options and flash the filefrom your pc to your phone

To help your self out It might be useful if you read the post from the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60115195&postcount=771
It will help you understand the whole process and how to do it. It will also give you lots of background on the issue.
To perform the "Flash" I use the Nexus Root Toolkit. which can be found here.
I hope this helps you. Let us know how it goes
This is perfect! Thank you!
I'm noticing that the settings done keep after a reboot. I don't have to reflash the modem, but I do have to go back into the 4636 settings to re-enable LTE. I've heard this might be fixable in the build.prop? Any thoughts?

Can I do this straight from the phone or from a laptop? And what zip app do I open it with?

You do it straight from your phone. Download the file, boot into your Recovery, go to the folder you saved the file in (likely in your "Downloads" folder, and just flash the .zip file from your Phone's recovery, and it will do all the necessaries.
It worked flawlessly when I flashed that zip from recovery. All relevant settings changed from 3G to 4G and HSPA to LTE. Speed went from 10 to 36mbps (Telus Canada). ROM is 5.1.1 LMY48T

Thanks that got almost work for me but it says its for android 5.1+ and I am on android 6.0.1 aosp ROM.
But after that I flashed this and bingoo. I can use LTE only in Android 6.
Used this http://www.mediafire.com/?2thymqa7fiiyrqy
Now I can able to click on 'only LTE' from phone info
And it stays at LTE only.
Before this when I goto phone info and it got gsm or wcdma even I click on LTE now its working for me.
I found that zip file from anywhere else I don't know where so I had uploaded and shared here.
Here is what I found about version check. Give it a try if you wish
a) expand nexus-4-lte-enabler-v2.13.zip
b) edit META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
c) replace 5.1 with 6.0.1 in this line
( is_substring("5.1", file_getprop("/system/build.prop","ro.build.version.release")) )
d) update zip with new file
e) flash zip
