i9500 New China FW I9500ZCUCMF4

Anyone tried this? Are any of the China roms ok to use outside of China?
Currently running the Russian MF8 in Australia, but has some 3G data bugs...

Change list is older.. Don't bother...

I'd stay away from it. Won't have any of the google apps and Chinese FW does strange things with the hboot.

yeah, same as other friends replied, China roms are usually for China only, different bootloader, no google app. can possibly soft brick your device (again the bootloader issue)

change rom
Hi ,

[Q] [N9100 Dual] Flash try with N9100 Hongkong firmware on N9100 China open device

Hi Guys
There are good new for N9100 useres.
I could be found in N9100 Hongkong firmware with Google service without root.
Model: SM-N9100
Model name: GALAXY Note 4 LTE Duos
Country: Hong Kong
Version: Android 4.4.4
Changelist: 3167019
Build date: Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:43:09 +0000
Product Code: TGY
PDA: N9100ZHU1ANK2

[English PDF Manual about Hongkong firmware]
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...M_Open_HongKong_Kitkat_Eng_Rev.1.0_141107.pdf
I think this image will be burn on "N9100" whole model.
For example, Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 any other firmware(ex:BTU) can be flash to GT-I9505 (ex:H3G) device.
But I can't found who already success story this burn on China open N9100 model in XDA forums.
If you already success burn on this N9100 hongkong firmware to N9100 China Open device(Not included Google service), Please let me know it wass successful working or not.

Saw this on Sammobile too but haven't tried it yet.
Seems like users on 52samsung are using it:

Couple of reports about the dialer not working properly (replace with another like Baidu or Touchpal), and one report of no signal in the responses.
Think I'd still root again anyway for TiBu and Nandroids via CWM.

Tried this today and so far nothing bad happened. Flashed fine on my mainland-bought n9100 and does include all the Google apps.
Flipboard briefing is now in English, as is recovery and bootloader mode FWIW.
EDIT: SpO2 also now in S Health if that matters proving and sensor aspects are only limited in software (only HR, UV, and Stress are present in the mainland ROM).

So You write whole N9100ZHU1ANK2_N9100ZZH1ANK2_TGY.tar.md5 burn to your phone (include bootloader,modem,...ETC) through odin?
And Phone is working good. Right? Also Knox warranty remain 0x0 ?

I'm too lazy. So I decided to take a risk by replacing my China firmware (Rooted with CWP & Gapps) with N9100ZZH1ANK2 via Odin.
Surprisingly, it works like normal except the dial pad (can't sort out the phone no. by name???....don't know how to fix it. But still it is ok as I can browse on the contact)
1. The whole sets of google services are in there.
2. The briefing is in English version (like some said)
3. Rooted is gone.
3. OTA is working normal now.
4. SuperSU is stopped working...it is fine for me as I usually don't us it.
5. Too bad: Knox is 0x1 now (But it is fine with me as I'm not really care about it)

Regarding 5.: If you were already rooted (as suggested in 3.) then Knox would have already been tripped. Flashing this with Knox intact it shouldn't trip Knox as long as it's an unmodified ROM.
Regardless, I've rooted long ago and had no issues on ANK2 and flashed the updated ANL1 the other day, too.
Much prefer the status bar icons in this ROM (far less wasted space around dual SIM and data icons).
I do note that there's one less 'Application manager' at the bottom of the settings in the HK ROM (3 vs 4 in mainland ROM) and there appears no option to 'Disable on startup' when managing apps (moved to somewhere else?), although you can still disable an app's notifications. However, I use Greenify to auto hibernate apps which I don't often use yet try to run at startup and remain in the background.

How can we get the file for N9100ZHU1ANL1? I have been trying to download from sammobile for 2 times. But both downloaded files can't be unzipped. Any good link suggestions.

Thank you, sir. Finally your suggested link is worked. And now I am using ANL1. Don't feel any differences.
By the way, it is weird that the youtube kept active even if I haven't used it. (Tried to restart the phone, then after finishing the restart for 5 seconds, the youtube is active automatically again.)

I just realize after updating the firmware to HK version, the call recording in dial key is gone. Anybody knows how to get it back??

can somebody tell me if it supports german language?

I see 3 kinds of Deutsch language, do not know if this is the German languge.

genius! german is perfect! Germany, Austria and switzerland. 3 little bit different kind of german!
Many thanks for the information!
And its really that easy to flash the rom? I´m currently in china, just need to go over the street to by the 9100....

It should be easy, just download the ROM then flash with Odin, but take note that Knox will be triggered.

AWS band 4 sm-n9100
Do you know if it will be possible to add the AWS LTE band 4 to this rom. Or if there's a way to add to the supported LTE bands.

I think most of LG device can do that. Even some of samsung device also can do that but nearly to hard except popular model.
(like GT-I9500 Galaxy S4, GT-I9505 Galaxy S4 LTE.)

i have note 4 N9106W ... dont have playstore, i failed try to flash with this firmware
how to get google apps for my phone?
thanks

same question from me, i bought 9106w, can't install gogle store ...

Hi.. I have a mainland purchased SM-N9100. How do I flash this? via ODIN? I'll be moving to HK soon and I would love for this to work!
Also, I noticed a difference in file size.. on the Samsung site it says the file is 1.6GB, and in the China links you supplied, the size is only 1.48GB. Why the difference?

Install European Rom on India device (G928G)

Hi All,
How can install the European FW on my G928G( India). I don't mind to break the warranty.
Thanks!

Flash rom with odin? I don't know if you will be able to call with a europe rom as it is supposed to be for europe.

Hi i should be able to call in Europe since there is the2 same frequency anyway .How can i flash the ROM i tried with a french FW but impossible. Any advice ?
Many thanks

why install Europe firmware on Indian phone? unless you want to brick your phone !

FYI i bought m'y Phone but its worked fine in France (same band). However i would like to install a custom FW but i need to install a stock FW 1st from France. Do you think its feasible ?

How to enabled VoLTE

Hello,
I've a G935F and my network operator have the VoLTE (Proximus in belgium). The problem is I have the LUX firmware and not the PRO.
When I download the correct firmware, I never got the PRO firmware but the German because, it's a multi-CSC firmware…
I don't want root my phone. Is not possible to force the PRO csc ? Rebuilding the firmware and force the PRO csc has master for example ?
LUX and PRO has the only firmware working for network share and I don't want to rooting my phone and lost many features…
Thanks for help

I had the same problem.
Jack, i can give you a code so that you can choose PRO but it will wipe your phone so you will have to back up everything.. I got the code from somebody from Proximus.. if you want it, PM me
But make sure you have the multi csc installed..

Thanks but it's working for me. Want to change to PRO from VD2 and it's not working; no pop-up, no menu, nothing…*

Never tried by myself but out of the codes available that seems to be the most promising one (*#272*IMEI#, *#272*TIME# are others).
Which Android version are you on? I also heard it works under MM but not N.

Trying with Nougat…*Never testing on MM

Any update on this? Mine is LUX CSC as well, would like to change it one where I can use VoLTE. Just switched to proximus.

A little bit too late, just had mine activated with LUX CSC. No need to change CSC, just give them a call to make sure they activate VOLTE on your SIM.
This was on NOTE 8, with OREO.

replace Korean Samsung S8 (SM-G950N) stock ROM with another one from Spain.

Hi All,
Please excuse me in case this was already adressed in other post.
Case: I bought in South Korea a brand new Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950N) Exynos version. Im very happy with the phone but there are a few diferences between this one and the spanish version of the phone. For example, since in Korea apparently is not legal to silence the shutter of the camera there is no option in the phone to remove this sound. Other things are for example the apps that by default are installed in the phone. In my case the carrier is KT and I have a ton of apps that I cannot use or Im not interested.
Questions:
Q1.- Is there a possibility to install the samsung stock rom for the S8 clean (from Spain for example) and get rid of all this crap and at the same time maintain all warranty and Updates as any other "not modified" phone?
Q2.- Will the software change once i insert the SIM car from my spanish carrier showing me option available in the S8 spanish software version that i cannot see now from the Korean version?
Q3.- can I use a baseband from any other carrier and if not is there compatible basebands with my phone?
any help will be much appreciated.
thanks in advance.

I have a Korean phone (g950N) and have done everything that you want to it EXCEPT my warranty is void. Initially, I rooted the phone and flashed a different stock ROM. Since then, I've flashed a custom ROM (Renovate-ice) as it gives me far more options and flexibility. During the installation, you can choose the country you want and it will add all the relevant software and frequencies etc.

AFAIK you will not get to the result you want, as long as you don't want to void your warranty (knox 0x1).
Flashing a g950F Firmware on a g950N device will lead to a not booting phone.
So:

Also, no. Your CSC won't change when inserting a different SIM.
As to the third question, I can't answer.
But if you would be willing to void your warranty, you of course can change the csc to a spain one, get all the spain carrier bloatware and can deactivate the shutter sound.

voLTE ISSUE
I am facing a similar problem.
i bought a galaxy s8 (SM-G950n) from south korea. But here, in india, i can't use voLTE. i can use LTE and other band at ease except voLTE. Then googled and found that indian csc code installation may help. But the problem is that the phone i have is single sim and the indian model has dual sim. If i flash the indian stock rom will it brick? If it bricks i can't gp back to south korea to resolve that. i contacted the korean samsung service but their help didn't work.
Give me a strong solution.
