Hello guys,
I live in China and I'd like to buy a Note 3, therefore, there's only following versions available here: N9002/6/8/9
I used to have a Note 2, Chinese version too, which was impossible to flash through Samsung's standard tool and once I bruteforced the flash with other tools, I detroyed the phone (couldnt receive signal anymore and be recovered) because Samsung's phones in China have a different modems and bootloaders specific to China).
Currently, not so many custom firwmwares are available for the Note 3 but in the future, I'd like to use them. Knowing Chinese models might be different, do you know if I'll have the same issues as with my Note 2, meaning:
- not being able to flash other region firmwares (Chinese version doesnt have Play store and you cannot install anything like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube or other famous foreign apps and that's ****ing annoying)
- not being able to flash custom roms for popular versions like N900 or N9005
Thanks
N9006 - Note3 - Chinese One
I've got my Note 3 - SM-N9006, couple weeks ago and try to root with Root de la Vega to get rid of the problems that you thought.
But failed now.
Trying to figure it out to bring the phone back.
So, think 2 more time to buy a Chinese Note 3.
Regards,
@op dont tinker too much.. Its possible to root without much hassle。。n9002 is the china unicom branded one/ n9006 is unbranded SD800 but 16gb/ n9008 is china mobile (keep in mind they have their own 3g band) / n9009 is china telecom(cdma)
@navalarcitect .. You forgot to to switch that "reactivation lock" to off in settings... Do that and try again...It would be succesful..
I've have had s2 s3 and s4 all made in china for the chinese markets rooted and using international firmwares enjoying all the google goodies china strips off.
For note 3 i went for exynos because it offers 32gb against the SD800 which is 16gb in China and HK.. Cheers
Buy the HK version at any of the phone markets of your choice
I think the short answer is DON'T BUY THE CHINA version, unless you have unlimited time to play/tinker with it in the hope that you might be able to internationalize it... Note tha 99% of the people making roms and modding the Chinese version are Chinese, who won't care about English/play store etc... so even if you do see ROMs most of them will be made for Chinese. Also, even if you do get it working, no more android updates for you...
The even shorter answer is, buy a HK version from any of the phone markets... In Shanghai there are many and they all have HK versions (often same price or cheaper than the China version as smuggled in without 5% import tax and 17% sales tax). You can tell pretty easy what model the phone is, and they're used to laowei (and many ABCs, etc.) wanting the international version.
What would be GREAT would be if the dual sim version was available in International. In the past it was only available as the China version. I really need a dual sim as I travel so much, but am just too scared/nervous and lacking in time and knowledge to buy the China version and try to root/internationalize....Am keeping an eye out for this, but not holding my breath as Samsung never did a dual sim N2 and you have to assume carriers hate them...
How can i go settings?

@hatnim, II'd like to buy my Note 3 with a subcription to reduce its price but 'd like to stay away from China Unicom as they have crap netwrok coverage, I moved to them 1 year ago to finally have 3G on my iphone but I really regret it. From what I understood the 3G Chinese network can also be used in other regions of the world can't it?
How did you manage to internationalize it since there is not yet a Chinese version of the SM-N9005? If you have a SM-N9002 or SM-N9008, they should not be compatible with international roms (at least that was not the case with Note 2, in my case, I had to purchase the N7100 Chinese version to be able to use it with internatiol roms).
Additional question: tt seems you have the Exynos version but it's still not out in China if I'm not wrong. Where did you get it?

Okay.. im on mobile now so would just give you the website（bbs.gfan.com）..but if you are not familiar with chinese i would get you the link to download the official n9006 rom later.. and you can root it with chainfires cf auto root ..

Well subscription with china mobile is good but you cant use 3g or higher when outside china ..you would be stuck on 2g.. they have their own homemade 3g spectrum or something.. if that isnt a bother you can go for that.
The chinese version n9006（sd800） is different from the normal n9005.. to get playstore and other google stuffs stripped off , you would have to install the hk version or taiwan version（roms that start with zs）..hk/tw is not restricted like mainland..
Yeah i did buy exynos because the sd800（n9006） they were offering here was 16gb and had no lte compared to the n9005.. so i got the exynos 32gb for 600rmb cheaper and its from hk or other place..

+1 for your support Hatnim! I think I'll go for the international version. But one last question since you seem to know a lot about chinese band. Do you think if the International version will receive China Mobile's 3G and HSPA+ signal?
Btw, for how much did you pruchase your Exynos version?
I got it for aprox. 3550RMB online (i guess you know of taobao, .and here is the catch, if you have a chinese friend with CC you can have it on installment plan,like mine is roughly 310 x 12months)..
And sadly no to your other question.. China Mobiles 3G (TD-SCDMA) is home made and i havent heard of any other carrier using it... Your only bet would be Unicom which uses W-CDMA ...I know Unicom really sucks..
Note 3 is no problem!
Hi,
I have a N9002 for about 1 Week now and it´s working good!
It took me only about 3h to root, install Google apps including PlayStore, and the Nexus Keyboard to get more languages.
All you need you can find at XDA!
I took the N9002 because I need dual Sim AND need to run it all around Asia and Europe.
For the dual sim version you will find nearly no custom roms, but that´s not neccessary for root, Google Apps and Keyboard!
Only the China Unicom Version works in Europe and most Asian countries!!!!!
I don´t know why you had so much problems with the Note 2?
I had the Note 2 (also dual Sim version from China Unicom) for around one year and it worked perfect. Also rooted and injected Google Apps and Nexus keyboard.

For custom n9002 stock based rom, try searching "SVA N9002" in google. Made by a Russian developer, charges 12 usd.

Close to impossible with a Chinese phone, the Government mandates a locked bootloader where a major part of their surveillance mechanism is located, go to Hong Kong where the phones are open.

You can still root the device, will trigger knox, but if you're overseas it won't matter much. Once rooted, you can install Google apps, facebook and even youtube. I have done it on my 9002. Works fine. Gmail, Contacts, Calender and G+ to name a few.....oh yeah and Play Store, which works great, can select stuff on my pc and have it sent and installed on my Note 3 with NO PROBS!!
You can flash anything, you just have to be careful because there are 2 types of N3 out. One has 16gb and the other 32gb memory. This results in different size partitions for the different system directories. That's why so many people wind up with bricked phones.....technically it's because the PIT is different. (Partition Information Table).
As for the surveillance mech, I am skeptical that the Chinese Gov would mandate a locked bootloader, do you have any evidence?

Your phone KNOX is still 0x0... warranty not lost... take it to samsung , they will Jtag it and it will work.
Also if you have the original rom, .PIT, pda, phone,csc... you can flash through odin with repartition ticked... however your prevent reactivation means only Samsung...
BTW, you can buy 9005 and 900 in china through HK parallel export and vendors after some bargianing, would offer a 1 year store warranty... I have 1..

You can't update firmware to American version. What you can do is to "westernize" the Chinese firmware.

Hello guys,
I have a soft-bricked N9002 and I am trying to unbrick it.
I tried to upgrade to the latest official firmware, CHU-N9002ZNUENG4-20140805155712, Android 4.4.2, through Odin but I ticked "Nand Erase All", which I think was the mistake. The phone is now bootlooping to the China Unicom splashscreen, with the mentions "RECOVERY BOOTING...Set Warranty Bit: recovery" and then vibrating twice before bootlooping again.
I am not accustomed to Samsung phones, but from what I have read on the forum, I would need to flash a PIT file to re-partition the phone.
So my question is, does anyone have such PIT file, or where can I get it?
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys.
I'm planning to buy Note 4 in my country, Turkey and they sell sth called N910CQ. I heard that they disabled 4G in that model. I'm not sure if it's about that or not because we don't have 4G here yet. My question is, is it ok to flash N910C stuff to N910CQ? I read that the only difference is CSC and I read that it's about Signals. Thank you.
I am using Note 4 N910CQ - Turkcell device running Russian Firmware (N910C). No issues at all. Device does support LTE unfortunately we don't have a LTE connection.
My phone's about screen says it's N910C not N910CQ

Oh great then! So we can flash kernels and roms for 910C. Do you know what are differences between C and CQ?
There is no differences between C and CQ. Q stands for Turkey nothing else. You can flash C rom to your device.
One thing you should pay attention is when you flash a C firmware instead of original CQ FW, model number shows N910C which makes easier to detect odin flashed firmware if you care about warranity. But anytime you can return to stock CQ with no problem.
Hello all I just recently purchased a Galaxy Note 4 and I'm trying to install lollipop via ODIN but it keeps failing I think partly because the bootloader shows up as N910T when the phone model is actually N910F european model that was bought in the UK obviously the phoned has been tampered with in the past and I would like to change the bootloader and baseband which are both N910T to N910F however the CSC shows up as N910FXXU1ANK4 i don't understand this?. Bootloader version is N910TUVU1ANJ7? the phone thinks it is the US T-Mobile Variant im guessing somebody screwed it up in the past? anyhow I need to be able to flash N910F 5.1.1 Lollipop to the phone but it always results in FAIL!(Auth) in Odin v3.0.9 .
Try to flash your stock rom

Try Flashing a stock N910F Kitkat firmware first.
Can you confirm the phone is actually N910F by removing the battery and checking the label?
Of if you are rooted install Samsung Phone Info app from the Google Playstore which might give more insight.

It can be possible, If the device is carrier unlocked the phone still contains some bands which work here in the UK, only Verizon and At&t are less likely to work. My bet is that the previous owner flashed a stock N910F based ROM on-top of a N910T variant. The best you can do is install a de-bloated ROM or remove the apps yourself.

I have the same problem but, I bought the device as new and box sealed everywhere is written 910F and was loaded with N910FXXU1COH4 and I decided to flash the new firmware N910FXXU1COJ3 now I'm stuck at bootloop.
Note: I consider my self a semi-expert but this situation is totally weird.
sorry for necroing this post but i have the same issue with my note 4..
says n910f everywhere (everywhere in the s/w and also on the sticker) but the bootloader is n910t..
all attempts to flash any n910f bootloaders/baseband/stock rom using odin results in emmc write error on aboot.
so is my device a fake n910f ?? (because the sticker says n910f while the phone is n910t bootloader)
or can i switch back to n910f bootloader somehow..

Your phone is masked with n910f but reality is you got n910t t.mobile note 4 and sadly you cannot convert to n910f.
Sticker is faked you have refurbished device.
Its very easy to fake any device even i can do it with root
You will also notice your knox is 0x1 when you go to download mode so it means that someone use root to fake entire device.
Return it now if you bought new with warranty.

Hey Trex, thanks for the reply..
yea it seems like it's a referb but i bought it used for a really good price and everything works with it.
It was such a headache the first day i got it trying to flash anything using odin and nothing worked because i kept downloading and flashing n910f files, I have a lot of experience with rooting/roms but this is the first time i actually didn't know what to do, until hours later when i noticed that in the bootloader it says n910T not F and then everything was good from there.
I won't be returning it as the n910t accepts the same roms as the n910f/g with datafix (i'm using aurora 3.1 for n910f with datafix and it's working perfectly), also the unit i got is like new with 0 scratches and with everything working great so there's that too..

The same thing happened to me 3 days ago, mine was a N910S flashed as a N910F. You're a bit more lucky than i was because the N910T is actually the same snapdragon variant as the N910F. I think the whole hardware parts might be identical. How is the battery life? Any battery drain issue? How much on screen-on-time do you get?

I have n910s also with n910c marshmallow rom and works good
I got screen on time about 4 hours
In my opinion n910s better then n910t/f because n910s/c comes with exynos octa 8core 64 bit processor but sadly no good roms available for n910s but if you use stock it works just good as n910c.
Ram management and games lot smoother and also no heating issues at all unlike snapdragon variants.

The one i had was seriously heating up
If you are using low class micro sdcard and battery that can also cause heating issues cuz apps struggle to run and processor need to run at higest frequency.
Do factory reset and try phone without micro sdcard and use for 1 or 2 days
And try another battery if you can.
My note 4 has sm n910t bootloader with 910f firmware lollipop 5.0.1 every thing works fine..please any idea whow to update to 6.0 without loosing the sim unlock (i dont know how the gn4 it was at first owner) or bricked .

Your device is n910t and faked with n910f.
Download link for latest marshmallow firmware below
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224395816
Extract and Flash this firmware using odin.
It will not sim lock your device but your phone will be completely n910t and there will be no many languages.i suggest if lollipop is working fine with you then don't update.there is nothing new in marshmallow and it will make your device slower then lollipop.
Thanks a lot tex888 ,,so what i understand the only bootloader that i can install is the Tvariant.
If i nstall a custom recovery can i install a custom rom fr language without problem.
if no i will keep my 5.0.1 with french language
So I was wondering if this is possible. My phone (A510F running lollipop 5.1.1) is locked to a carrier but I was planing on flashing an unbranded 6.0.1 (from Italy). Marshmallow will eventually come to my country but I just can`t wait anymore. Will flashing this firmware brick anything ?? I am well aware that the phone will remain locked to my carrier, since the lock has to do with the phone`s imei number, but is anything else going to be affected ? Anyone had a similar experience ? Your answers are really appreciated.
Bad idea, never flash unbranded firmware on a locked phone as it leads to all sorts of problems. Get turn phone unlocked first and then u can flash any firmware.

what about flashing flashing a unlocked note 4 ?

hey i got my note 4 (N910P) from Texas and brought it to my home country India so i just read the message but i wanted to confirm that if i flash my sprint note 4 (N910P) with a different country rom or any other rom then will it be causing any problem ? i have unlocked it but i am now facing the issues with the carrier featured applications so it is unlocked and ya of course i will keep the model no. in mind for finding the rom then it will be good to go right if i flash it with the same model no. the country doesn't matter ? also tell me how can i become sure of that it is unlocked
TIA dude

why would you ask Note 4 questions in A Series threads when the Note 4 threads are at least 10x more active? Besides, no one will know the answer here anyway.
