[Q] N910QC CSC Difference

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.

Samsung N910F with N910T bootloader and N910F CSC?! can't upgrade to Lollipop help!!

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.

Hi it says n910f under the battery and the phone box says n910f,however Samsung info app says model n910f and bootloader n910t I have flashed 5.01 n910t to the phone and it worked however I have t-mobile bloat ware which I don't want. Is there a way to get everything to be n910f as my UK carrier works on this phone surely it cannot be a US T-mobile variant?

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.

N910F with N910P (boatloader)

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.

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

gt-i9500

Ok, so a few days ago i bought samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9500. Everything is fine except when i change launguage to my naitive. After that some of the apps stay in english and others change their language into chinese( i'm not sure if its chinese but it looks like it). phone runs on android 4.4.2. i tried to uptade it to android 5.0.1 with odin but everytime i try it fails either in re-partition or nand write start. Enyone can help? I tried using differnt cables, usb ports and even diferent computers, always switch off antivirus and kill kies, and start odin as administrator.

Enter download mode and tell us the model number displayed there. That way we can rule out a Frankenstein phone and help you better.

it's not a S4 I9500 , it's a SHV-E330S with diffrent hardware processor 2.3GHz LTE advanced , dont try to upgrade with I9500 Firmware you gonne brick your phone , take look here and try one of this firmwares http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SHV-E330S/

I didnt know that. I only checked in settings and model number displayed there is gt-i9500 but im pretty new to samsungs so i'll try with that. Thankfully nothing bad happened.
One more question, can i use only firmware for shv-e330s witch is for south korea or can i also use firmware for gt-i9506 witch has csc dedicated for my country. As i checked it shv-e330s and gt-i9506 are the same.

You can only use firmware for the E330S. Odin will reject attempts to install the I9506 firmware on the device. If there are custom ROMs available for your device, I would use one of them.

Samsung note 4 not getting anything more than 2G

Hey all im totally new to this and i apologise if this has been covered. I had a samsung galaxy note 4 and my darling kids thought it would be an epic idea to stick things inside the charge port totally ruining it and making the phone unchargable. So i contacted samsung repair center and was quoted a ridiculous price to repair and i just bout a new one to only find that its not an australian version i have a sm-n910k and my original one is a sm-n910G what can i do i cant get 3g i cant get lte i can only get 2G and minimal bars of service at that if anyone can help any advice atm is great advice thank you all in advance.

Go to settings/mobile networks and set apn settings manually depends on your sim carrier and country.
Just google your sim carrier apn settings and you will find easily.

Did you bought a new device, n910k or was it a replacement part? If you're comfortable, you can always change the USB port itself. I've done it for my Note 2 before. The USB port should be just a ribbon cable so you don't have to worry about soldering and stuffs like that. The prices are also way cheaper too.

Apparently the usb port is tricky to replace as its apart of the screen as samsung has told me and its a whole new device its the korean version im not sure what to do as the place i bought it from is a long distance away from where i live and i was wondering if there was a way i could install like the sm-n910G firmware to it. Im at my wits end with this and not sure what to do.

Oh right. I forgot about that. It was a simple plug out and in for my Note 2.
The issue right now is that the n910k, most probably does not support Australia's LTE bands. Hence the reason why you can only connect to 2G. You can check out gsmarena for the supported LTE bands for different models.
You can install a stock Note 4 Exynos firmware from another country with a carrier that uses the same LTE band as your carrier. It should be safe as some members here are able to install different firmwares meant for another device on their device, example N910G on N910F provided the CPU are the same.
Go to SamMobile, and find the firmware for Note 4 and you can see a list of Note 4 firmware available for download. You need to do some leg work though to ensure that the firmware you're flashing is meant for the Exynos version and the modem supports your carrier's LTE band.
This video shows what I'm talking about.

No don't install over the n910g over your n910k. N910k is using a different cpu than N910g. N910k uses Samsung's Exynos processor and N910g being a Snapdragon processor. Idk what would happen if you flash a N910G over a n910K but I think it would be considered lucky if your phone would be able to boot up.
Your n910k should be able to run on another firmware meant for an Exynos processor like n910c. I just don't know if, after installing over your 4G would work because of different LTE bands. But this website says there's a chance it might work.
https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/zYzu9/samsung-galaxy-note-4-sm-n910c/australia
Usually in most cases, when a user accidentally installs a firmware meant for another variant, assuming they would get past the samsung boot up scene, they would not be able to get any network connections. This is due to different firmwares having different modem files for the different LTE bands. However if you were to install over a firmware with the same internals as your current device and more or less uses around the same LTE bands, it should work.

Here you go. It's every firmware ever listed. You need to create an account before downloading though and the download takes forever. You can install the firmware when your phone is in download mode using Odin via your computer.

You can try a random one. Preferably one without a telco. Example, N910C and not N910C (telco name). It shouldn't matter much as the difference would be that the one with a telco would come preinstall with the telco apps. Also, preferably from a English speaking country because usually the language would be based on country.
I would recommend you to download the original firmware for the n910k in case if this fails, you would be able to fall back to the original firmware.

How can I know the original variant/models of the 2nd hand Note 4?

I have no idea in this situation. Anyone can help me?
I bought a second-hand Samsung galaxy note 4. The seller told me that is n910f and also shown in the Setting, About device
But the problem is I can't update from lollipop android 5.1.1 to android 6.0.1 marshmallow officially
The seller do not accept return goods so that I can't get the money back.
As I know the process of N910F should be Qualcomm Snapdragon 805
But I use cpu-z app to check the phone which is not n910f , the processor of that phone is Exynos Octa 5433 , the bootloader is N910SKSU2COL1 and the label behind the phone after remove the battery is N910A ?
How can I know the original variant of this phone, plz help
which stock rom,bootloader and modem I should flash ?
Should I follow the label behind the phone?

I highly doubt it's an AT&T model N910A with fake N910F software.
Most sellers they modify the software because N910F has more demand in market then usa models because N910F has more 4g/LTE bands and fully unlocked variant.
You can still update to marshmallow with N910A firmware but there are some disadvantages such as
1 No multi languages
2 Lot of At&t apps bloatware
3 Apn settings for sim card data you have to set manually.
4.no data toggle in quick toggles.
5.no software updates unless you have AT&T sim card.
This is the 6.0.1 marshmallow firmware link for N910A
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754459333
If you want to know the correct model just turn off the phone and go to odin download mode.
Press 3 button all together for 5 seconds ( volume down button+home buttun+power button) until it shows warning screen then press volume up .
In download mode you will see the motherboard original model SM-N910 on top left corner.
Same as in picture below.
