I have a Note 4 with a Canadian carrier, Rogers. I know there are international version of the phone, i believe it is the N910F and N910H.
Do the international phones get updates directly from Samsung without going through the carriers? If so, would it be possible to convert my Note 4 to an international version and how?
I don't want any of the custom roms as i actually like the stock version with touchwiz and from what i see most of them are full of bugs and require to flash new versions over and over. I just don't need all of my carrier's bloatware and branding, nor to be tied to them for updates as they usually do them months after everyone else. I want to be able to use the actual stock firmware from a international version of the phone.
thanks,
bump, anyone?
Anyone? a simple yes and no would be nice.
Yes u can

Root your device and install latest TWRP recovery and formats the data,cache,delvik cache,system .then put your phone in download mode download the firmware from sammobile or any other site flash it with odin
Just if bootloader not locked

correct my and delete this thread if i am wrong……
This is correct, its a JB update but the base firmware is not there to be downloaded. Maybe it can be searched for with CheckFus but i dont know the Product code for Phillipines. Maybe someone else knows.
Also, it's a leak, not an official OTA.
yep,just noticed that.
I flashed the base firmware: N8000XWALH1,
and these two OTA files: N8000XWALI2, N8000XWALI3
when I flashed the N8000XXBLI2
not the same error as the India version,it still occurred error: blablabla (status 7) something I can't remember...

Probably doesn't matter if he flashes that firmware. Its just some carrier specific apps and maybe a Globe bootanimation. Have them all downloaded shop I was going to try it but the error that seems to be present when flashing ota changed my mind.

Excuse my ignorance guys, but what's the difference between the three variations of the Note 10.1? N8000 (WiFi + 3G), N8010 (WiFi, Global Model?) and N8013( Wifi, US Model?)
Are the firmwares cross compatible?
I'm new to the Galaxy Note and just trying to figure things out.

N8000 - 3g + Wifi
N8010 - international wifi
N8013 - American/Canada wifi seem to have limitations on what the international models can do.
There are probably other variations too, I believe there's another for another country but can't remember what. Some will have carrier specific additions to the roms unless locked to network and aren't flashable until carrier unlocked.
If they are like other Samsung models then no, I wouldn't try to flash firmware not for your model. These new toys are too expensive to break on that little experiment...

Thanks for the reply. Now I'm wondering if theres a significant difference between the wifi only models.
Ive noticed a lot of the leaked/updated firmware popping up is for the international models. Sorta frustrating that the US variants of phones/tablets ialways last.
I kind of got my fix by trying out the initial leak of JB with Note 2.0 goodies. Was fun but obviously a ways from done.
For me, the most interesting thing in the leak were the Note 2.0 goodies. I was hoping JB would turn my tablet into a speed freak but honestly, didn't notice any real improvement. Obviously that could be because it was a pre-alpha type release and nowhere close to optimized.
since i have the n8013 does this mean i can't connect to any of the wifi when i travel to europe?
Is this newer than the India leak? Perhaps the base from that one would work for this too, since the base is 4.0.4, anyway.

It will work fine. The Wi-FI module's multi-frequency.
Hi all, I am currently looking for the stock firmware for the Cricket Wireless variant of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. Any help would be appreciated. I'm currently trying to flash my phone back to KitKat to expose a flaw in the system that would allow me to bypass the reactivation lock. My friend seems to have lost his account and can't recover it so I am doing him a favour and trying to help him out. I know development on this transition device is difficult but I am willing to be patient. Thanks again
I am also looking for this as well as it is my understanding that I need this to get back to KitKat after my phone upgraded to Lollipop which I do not want for certain reasons
---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------
I just found a G530AZ for sale on Ebay "as is" seeing it has physical damage. The seller reports it still has 4.4 so I wonder if buying it and backing up the rom on it and posting that here for everyone will work? I just worry about it being automatically upgraded before that can happen.
Also I read on another site that it might be possible that it CANT be rolled back to Kit Kat because the bootloader is being overwritten. Not too sure what that means.
Hoping someone can clarify if going back to stock Kit Kat is even possible and if so should I buy this phone from Ebay? (Or maybe someone more experienced could get it and help us all out and also get more use from it?)
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxcLJPerShJ_ZDJrNV9fRVBSdU0&usp=sharing Here ya go this has kitkat or lollipop choose your folder then download the ones labeled with ALL at the beginning.

I think maybe if i flash the csc from a different variant we might be able to get the option to unlock oem in our developer settings menu as well, I will see if i can get the csc from one of these other variants and maybe give it a shot tomorrow, unless someone that knows more about such things advises against it or if you already know its pointless. Thanks for input but we gotta get this puppy full unlocked as we are missing out on custom roms and recovery on our cricket version.
Well csc flash results in failed out checks need tonedit the aboot to unlock unfortunately

Hi,
New to the Forum but hoping that someone can help me. I apologize if there is already a thread regarding this issue.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Active which I purchased off Amazon Unlocked. It is an At&t phone but I am using it in Canada on the Bell Network. I have been unable to get any updates and therefore am still running Kitcat 4.4.2.
I have downloaded the Bell Firmware but Keep Getting the Error Message "Secure Check Fail Aboot" Immediately after each attempt.
I have not been able to find an updated At&t firmware to load and as far as I can tell the Bell Marshmallow Update won't work because My Build version is G870AUCU1A..... Where as the Bell Build Version is G870WVLU1C.......
Is there a way to install this Bell Firmware on my phone ?
AT&T has only released one firmware and the rest of the updates have been ota secure check fail means you are trying to flash the wrong firmware so no it can't be flashed in odin

You would have to flash g870a AT&T firmwares if you can find one
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
I feared that might be the case I have a lot of hoping that someone had downloaded the OTA however I have been unable to find an AT&T update I am not far from the border if I went to cross into the US would I be able to get the OTA update or would I need an AT&T SIM card as well
This page may be helpful especially look at Samsung kies method

Hi, flash any of n5 custom roms but you need to flash an S6 edge+ kernel as well. Thats it.

Doesnt matter, even you can flash Sprint, T-mobile, Verizon etc based roms{get no network} beside C, CD, G, I, S, K, L, 08, 00 variant custom roms. Pick one of them and flash proper kernel for s6ep.

I give these examples from my own, almost tried all of them on my G928C.
How can I know which ones will allow cellular service? Is there a dedicated thread/board to the N5/S6+ crossovers?
EDIT: Basically, choose any N5 rom (carrier doesn't matter?) and then flash my carriers kernel for S6+?
---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------
SO any N5 ROM plus any S6+ kernel (for my carrier) and good to go?

All the custom roms are ok except carrier branded ones like T-mobile, Sprint etc.
thanks for the help... and for now the major problem is one good kernel for AOD ... the one for s6+ is consuming too much battery
Its looking like a lot of the S6+ kernel threads are shutting down
s6 is dead , and so will future samsungs becase the ****ty xynos cpu as i have readed, samsung is starting to be like apple , so i avoid samsung after this s6 sm-g928f, if i want a ****tup phone i go iphone instead, i rly loved samsung in the past but that time have ended
Hello all. I have an unlocked S7 Edge, model SM-G935VC. It's from Xfinity Mobile (yes, I'm an employee). Since the phone is already carrier unlocked, is it possible to just flash the AT&T firmware and have it work with my AT&T service? I really don't want to mess the phone up, but I do not see much of anything on my model # on the internet.
You should be able to flash any us carrier firmware on it.

Hey
I also have the s7 edge through xfinity mobile. Can I root this? I'm only asking because there's no xfinity mobile section on xda yet. If so which carrier thread method do I use?
Thanks

have you been able to root it? And if so which method do I use or which carrier thread do I go to

Bootloader is locked and encrypted on US Qualcomm devices, I don't think it's possible to flash anything that has not been signed by Samsung themselves.
Does anyone have the stock rom for the s7 from Xfinity? I'm stuck in a boot loop and can't find a copy. Module SM-6930VCC
