[Q] Convert Japanese Note 3 to Australia? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all
I finally got myself a Note 3. Domoco SC-01F version.
Good price seems to be because it qont do data in Australia. So I'm hoping its the same hardware and just a firware / modem flash away from full data functionality. Maybe an Optus firmware flash might fix it?
I'd appreciate any words on this process. Especially if its a different radio chip and I'd be wasting my time trying. I hope I didn't get scammed...
Thanks for reading my post and in advance for any clues you can share with me.

[Solved] OK it was just that the APN settings had to manually entered to bring data to life. All working fine now ☺

galaxy s4 i9505 t mobile

I was looking at the updates to the s4 and saw the update thinking that it was for the ee s4 with disastrous consequences. I now have the t mobile set up with my ee card. Do not have wifi just wont switch on and it has 4g in the Window where you would find the normal 3g logo. There are also a couple of issues. So my main question is where would I find the stock rom or the update to put it back to normal

Lost 2G/Edge data after Kitkat upgrade

I just noticed my device wasn't switching from WCDMA to EDGE automatically.. Now I confirmed that setting the device on 2G only, will not give me any data.
Any thoughts?

Give people a chance to reply mate!
You mustn't bump a thread before 24hours.
Anyway, just try flashing a different modem.

[Q] Different variants

I live in Australia and there is a couple of different models being sold by different retailers here namely SM-G900X and SM-G900I. With all my previous Galaxy phones I used to flash them to Polish ROMs as they got firmware updates well in advance of Australia but the Polish ROM is SM-G900F. Is there any issue still doing this does anyone know? I cant even find a 900I ROM to reflash with if something goes wrong and I don't want to brick my phone the second day I have it.
Anyone have any idea? Also the Australian 900I version has its dock icons locked which is annoying.

im in the same boat as you maye so frustrating
There must be someone game enough to try this out. There all isn't a 900I ROM available anywhere.

Ok I gave up waiting for an answer and went and saw a friend in retail with stock and we tried it on his demo unit. You CAN NOT flash a 900F from onto a 900I it errors out before it begins saying the model is different.
Seems like we are stuck with the handicaps imposed on our model as Samsung has chosen to make regional models.

Same thing with the Aus S4. You can unlock the dock but you'd have to root the phone first.

The S4 I just flashed mine to a UK or Polish ROM and had no issues and got updates earlier.

[Q] Returning rooted samsung galaxy s5 with camera problem

Idk if there is a thread for this, but i have a particular problem.
I had originally rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5, but unrooted it the next day. (No roms or anything) (i rooted correctly)
I found out i tripped the knox counter (not the problem, well sorta)
The problem is that a week later out of nowhere my camera stops working.
I want to know, if i go in for a return. What will happen? Will i have to pay for the replacement? If so, how much?
I have the T-Mobile version and i am on the jump program.
I need answers before i try turning it in tomorrow.

Just do it and you will find out. They're not going to steal your phone nor be calling the FBI.

Try to change your battery and see whether it's still overheats.
I wanted to do that really, but i wanted someone else to tell me so i would not be a wierdo, you really think that would work?

I have 2 batteries. One gave me overheats, even though the battery itself is not bulged.
One totally no issues at all.
Same phone, same ROM, same setup, same etc.
You can give it a try. But then again, I might be wrong.
Technical issues can arises from a lot of factors anyway.
I will try, thank you so much for your reply

Try the old modem, the one you didn't have any issues. Otherwise it's samsung's crappy update.
Can i go back to that modem?? No risk?? I changed the csc, changed the sim, changed the carrier, changed 3 batteries... still blowing fire, 80c om the cpu... many times when i use my data plan

The only risk is signal issues.
So because of the modem i have the heating problems??

It may also the update.
What?

I may also be related to the lollipop update. Since you did mention that it didn't happen on kitkat. It only started happening since moving to lollipop. So it may also be the update. Go back to kitkat or change to a custom rom and see if it helps.
I tried all, just all custom roms with lolli
