Change Variant - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hi there! I'm using Sm500 G, for which there are almost no roms available. Or even if they are, they simply won't boot despite of all the methods. So I'd like to know whether I can get the FU variant installed and then get the custom roms of it. And yes what problems will I face? Sorry for the ignorance, and all the help is appreciated.

Sorry.... you cant change the variant of your device. Its basically encoded inside the device and impossible to change

Even though we share the same name of phone, they're completely different hence the reason you haven't seen a reply yet. You've posted in the correct section, however they're not that many Telus owners here. I'd start with reading this. Good luck buddy
Oh and ps: Don't attempt to try and use Verizon Fascinate roms, kernals or modems. You don't want the headache.
Thanks for the help
so from my understanding i should be able to use vibrant and i9000 roms and kernals?

Just bought a note 2

Hello Guys
I'm new in the forum and I just bought a galaxy note 2 n7100,I got it in china and has some kind of custom rom chinese I guess.
I also own a nexus 3 but I never changed the rom and is currently running android 4,2.
On my note I want to get an original rom or something that works well,what do you suggest me and what should I do?
Thanks
You need to carefully read how to root and flash a new rom, if that's what you want. My site has an up-to-date list of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs. You can also see a few community links to information here at XDA, to help you learn how to root your device.
Read the threads carefully. You should follow the information for your Note II, not a different Note II.
Do you live in China? What do you mean some kind of custom rom Chinese? Did someone sell it with a custom rom on it?
Welcome to the forums. I just got my Note II 6 days ago.
Loving it. (Although I was surprised to learn it doesn't have an FM Radio?)

1. Who would use that site to check for available roms instead of going to the android section?
2. The N7100 does have radio, the N7105 doesn't

It's already rooted, don't worry.
Go to Settings > About device, and tell us what your baseband version is. Once knowing that, someone can point you in the direction of a nice ROM, which is as easy as making a few clicks.

Why not just flash stock sammy rom just like your Nexus3? The stock is good as it is for me. I would suggest go stock, then slap a 64gb microsd for hd movies for your trips to China ΓΌ
Updated roms should be round the corner anyway given the leaks mentioned everywhere.
Cheers!

Right it is,I just checked on terminal.
so it says android 4.1.1 based version N7100XXALIE
should I provide something else?
Also would be possible to make a back up of my samsung galaxy nexus 3 and move everything on my note 2?
thanks

Well hell, just go over to the Development section and download a nice ROM suited for your baseband. The N7100 has plenty of support.
No worries. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1794
You can backup your stuff from your Galaxy Nexus to your computer and move them over to your new phone. Unfortunately it doesn't have an SD card so you can't just move the card over and copy it.

[ANSWERS THREAD] Ask any questions here!

Hi everyone, since I am probably one of the last active Gen8 device owners here on the forum and I enjoy helping people setup their Gen8 devices or just answer random questions related to them I decided to make this thread.
So anyone please if you have any questions ask them here as it will be easier for me to see them and (try to) answer them in a timely manner as I will be subscribed to this thread!
Thanks and hope this will make it easier to help the people out there that might still own one of these devices and is in wondering what to do next.

Sorry for the late response, I was in the middle of the exams re-take week so although I saw this I could not answer.
So I will do my best to help you but what do you actually want to do, are you asking how to install a newer android version (2.3.x or 4.0.x) or how to re-install the stock firmware or how to install an alternative OS (debian linux)?
Hello, same problem here , i want to install a new ROM(?) for my Archos101 but i don't know which one i have to choose , and i'm not really good in english , so if you can help me out
I just want a newest and fastest version than my 2.2.1

Well you can get a newer version but it will surely not be faster than 2.2, you could install OpenAOS Degu (android 2.3) or Cyanobiz (android 4.0) depending what version of android you want, I can help out if you tell me which one you want to install.
Also if you want to improve the performance of android 2.2 I would recommend installing one of the root kernels (either the OpenAOS boot menu one or Chulri's kernel) and then use the app called Milstone Overclock (I found it somewhere here on XDA, I can give a link) and set the CPU at 1.2Ghz.
You could also go multiboot using Kboot (which I actually need to re-upload and will do that now) so you can have newer android version(s) and stock working better at the same time. For root I would actually recommend Chulri's kernel instead of the OpenAOS one, it seems to work better.

I do not have that device but I don't even see a 50c Neon on their product range on the .com site, only a 50c Platinum and a 50 Neon, for the 50 Neon there is this MIUI: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-archos-50-neon-t3210324 but otherwise you are out of luck I am afraid.
Loool just search it in google i am sure you will find it !
Is there any ported rom or any thing else for my phone ?
Thanks in advance :good:
