[Q] Flash EU firmware on US model? - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
There are a few similar threads and it looks like it should be possible but i didn't get it to work.
Bought a Samsung Tab 4 8" in the US and tried to flash the NL firmware onto it found on Sammobile:
URL to Sammobile > /firmwares/3/?download=28816

For this i used Odin and followed the instructions but i get a message on the Tab 4
Security fail: [slb1]
Tried this with the tablet in normal mode an in usb debug mode after turning on the developer options, but that made no difference.
Since it's not that of a big deal to work with the English language and i don't want it bricked i left it at that, but i still would like to know if someone succeeded in doing this?

Hello, I found a solution for the language problem. When I bought the tablet in Canada I couldn't choose much languages. Dutch was for example not visible, after a reset (menu button /volume up/ power button) choose for factory reset. I was able to choose which language I want so as told by some people the languages are there but not visible is true. So I installed it now like I want it..... Maybe a solution for others.....

Kies not recognizing tab

Ok, first off, yes, ive searched through general and development, but havent found anything that helped me to get it working. Ive downloaded the latest version of kies, set my tab to the original launcher, made sure debugging is off, and connected tab to computer, win7 64 bit. It scans for a few seconds then tells me my device is not supported? What do i need to do?

dont worry - the forums are getting bigger by the second and even i cant find the four other threads where ive answered this question
to connect to kies you must be using the stock launcher so
1. install homeswitcher
2. use it every time you want to connect to kies
problem solved, have a nice day
Did that, several times. No go. Still tells me device is unsupported? I also just installed kies on my laptop to see if maybe it was windows 7, but still wont work. Are there possibly some drivers im missing for it that need to be installed on computer?

hmmm... try reinstalling drivers through kies (its in the dropdown menu), restarting and repeating as in my original post
With or without tab connected? Guessing without since it doesnt recognize my tab.
Edit, still didnt work.

Who are you asking? lol
My bad, not asking anyone. Just updating my thread. I know there were a bunch of people having issues with kies. Just posting that kies sees my tab now that ive flashed a different firmware.

I guess that the current version of Kies does not support the north american firmware version yet...
Oh well... hopefully they'll release an update soon.
Did anyone get this to work with CDMA equipment?
jtc442, did I get you correctly:
Kies didn't recognize you T-mobile Tab and you then flashed with a Euro firmware and now it works + that Kies now thinks you have a GTP-1000 instead of a SGH-TXXX.
Do you know if Kies will work to do future updates?
Reason for asking is that I have a T-mobile model and I want to make it a GTP-1000.
Yes, that is exactly right. Before i flashed the euro rom, i would constantly get the device not recognized or whatever. As soon as i flashed i decided to check again, and it found it immediately. Im unsure about future updates though.

New member here ^_^ and also got some question [Q] :S

Hi there people in Galaxy Tab section,I'm a new member in this section.I hope you all can teach and tell me if I don't know some thing in the process of rooting,flashing,or unlocking bootloader because this is my FIRST TIME using the Samsung devices (Actually,it's my mom tab lol) but I'm advance in rooting,flashing,and unlocking bootloader of Sony devices
Well,my very first problem is I installed Kies (I download Kies through Samsung official website and it's the latest one) and every necessary thing I've installed (automatically installed by Kies),and after I reboot my laptop and finished the installation,I open my Kies application and a pop up says Kies is not responding (I use Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium)...
So,how do I fix this problem?

Did you try to re-install?
Did you reboot system?
Did you try checking/cleaning registry?
Did you check the error message/error details button etc?
Why on earth are you using Vista? Install Windows 7.
Did you contact Samsung or Microsoft about their software?
PS. This is XDA not Samsung/Microsoft support

Well,thanks for still replying to my thread :#)
It looks like I'll never ever install Kies due to problem with Vista (I think),but I wanna ask another question : Why would my mom GT-P1000 won't connect to my laptop?I installed the USB driver (searched,googled,everything) and still it won't connect...when I plug in the USB,the tab promp want to mount sd card or not,but on laptop,there is nothing (yep,totally zero reaction)..

I give up - no usb debug in ucuamdl?

I hate to post this, but cannot research an answer: I have rooted my last 2 Galaxy devices, but am FRUSTRATED my new s4 running UCUAMDL out of the box. I am unable to access developer options or usb debugging. I have gone to "about phone," tapped on the build (more than 7 times), and get nothing. Surely there is a way to do this? Am wanting to use an Odin one click for root, and need usb debugging. Thanks for any help.
That's how it is done... There is no other way.

I guess I will have to figure out a way to return the phone and try another one, because no matter how many times I tap, or how rapidly/slowly I tap, I cannot access dev options on this device. Very, very unhappy. I searched for a ucuamdl device, found one, and now this relatively simple, stupid roadblock. Thanks for your help.
EDIT: Is it this simple - do I need to have the sim in the device to access dev options? I am afraid that the device will auto-update.
Just go to settings, about phone, tap build number 10 times, you should get a small message that Dev options are enabled. Go back to settings and scroll down. It appears next to about phome .

That's how it should work, all right. Does not work on my phone. Yet. I am taking a break & using my s2 while out for a bit. When I try it again, Iwill wipe/factory reset. & will go ahead & insert a sim, log in to Google, tell the phone who I am, etc. I had not done these things, to avoid the mf3 update possibly auto-starting. Maybe this will make a difference. I will post the results. Thanks for your response.

You don't need the SIM in the phone. I rooted and put a custom ROM on my device the day before I even activated.

Perhaps you can download a debugging on off toggle in the playstore
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
Sounds like you are doing it right. Just go to SETTINGS, MORE, ABOUT DEVICE, click on BUILD NUMBER, (I always started off fast clicking until I would see a little popup that says something like your are 7 away from being a developer), then click it until it says developer mode or you are now a developer or something like this. Now EXIT back out of the setting tabs until your at the MORE tab again and NIW there should be a DEVELOPER OPTIONS, click on it to open and choose USB DEBUGGING.
Replied to your on as well.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Is this the dumbest thing you have seen w/an android device? It is simple - tap the build in "about phone" - there's even a video on xda on how to tap on the phone . . . No matter how fast/slow or many/few times I do this, I get nothing. Zip. I wish we had one of the old Odin root methods, where I could just boot into download mode and plug it into Odin. I guess I have no choice but to take it to an ATT Device Support Center and tell them that I need USB debugging to be able to transfer files other than media, and see if they can get it working. The phone is still stock, for sure, so that should not be a problem. The USB toggle apps on the market require root or installation as a system app, which I can't do on stock.
EDIT: I downloaded & Odin'd a fresh install of UCUAMDL. All is well now. Dev options enabled; ready to root and flash.

Return and get the money back as quick as possible if it looks the same as the screenshot provided in the link i am about to post.

Hes been sarcastic surely! Or been one of those people who live to wind people up
Guys are you serious ?? The second you flash note 4 rom you will get your phone bricked don't listen to the trolls here
The N4 firmware has unique system drivers that are incompatible with any other phone, it will not work on the N3. It probably won't even flash. I'm sure you could extract the apps and install some of the system apks, but please don't actually try to flash the whole firmware or you will likely brick your phone.

Everything about the Note 4 OS is different. Even the image file extensions in the apps are different. You have a $300 paperweight most likely
Note 3. have you tried a different rom ?

goto settings more networks under connection tab then mobile networks then network operators and search for them. If that fails try differ rom and if that fails I am assuming you have somehow changed your modem. Find one for your country and flash using odin.
Also try Kies emergency firmware recovery using windows laptop or pc.
