Hello,
I don't want to wait for Samsung OTA upgrade to Lollipop in my region.....My phone is unlocked and free to use any official rom. It's already available in a number of countries and would like to download one and install it with ODIN.
My question: Is there any difference between the official roms from one country to the other? how should I make my choice?
Thanks for your help
The ROMS currently available should all be carrier unbranded, meaning no carrier logos or carrier bloatware. Assuming this is for the I9505, you can download whichever is the latest, either the BTU firmware or the DBT version. Both will work, though you likely will end up with some easily removed apps provided by Samsung for a specific region. For example, after installing the Black Edition BTU firmware on my I9505, the device defaulted to AUT (Switzerland), and I received three apps related to that region. Since those apps are installed normally and not embedded into the system, it was a trivial matter to uninstall them.
Thanks again Strephon......mine is the 19500. ...I'll go ahead and install the Hong Kong version.
Hi, everyone. Does enyone can tell me if it's possible to force OTA updater in stock ROM to watch for proper updates? Right now I have installed Honk Kong version of Samsung ROM which has full multilanguage support, but OTA always watch for updates of Chinese version. Probably I have phone which is programmed to have Chinese ROM version - is there a way to change this behaviour?

Can't say about OTA, but you can always go HERE, download the Honk Kong version and install thru recovery.
Is there an ubranded firmware that comes without apps like Maps, YouTube, etc? What google apps are contained in the BTU UK version?

There is no such thing as unbranded firmware. If you don't want to use Google apps, then the only way is to root or to install a custom rom.
Apologies if this has been covered, but I have searched for threads on how to get the Play Store on the Chinese version of the S7, and I didn't find this solution here. So this information should at least be easier to find for anyone who finds themselves in possession of a Chinese S7.
All you have to do is update it to the latest Oreo official firmware, and then install the Play Store APK. At some point, Samsung have just started including all the underlying Google services, framework etc, but just not including the Play Store.
No need to change the CSC, root, flash a custom recovery, anything like that, just get the latest Play Store APK from apkmirror and install it.
I downloaded the latest stock ROM through Frija.
Hello, i'm looking for a stock firmware for Galaxy Note. The version i'm looking for is N7000XXKKA N7000OXXKK6 with XEO CSC (Poland) Andoird 2.3.6. I was looking for it on SamMobile, SamFW and Google but everywhere I check there are links that no longer work. Does anyone have this software or know where to get it?
Hello, im also looking for a specific stock firmware of the GT-N7000, im trying to find the N7000XILB1/N7000ITVKL1/N7000XXLB1/ firmware with ITV CSC (Italy Unbranded), im actually trying to find any version of Android GB 2.3.6 for the Galaxy Note ITV, but i can't find any working link online, all of them were hosted on the now dead Hotlink.com, there is a list of 2.3.6 GB Stock rom on XDA, their links are also dead but maybe you can have luck by searching for it in the archive.org, i found the ITV 2.3.6 .torrent on the Wayback Machine but unfortunately that's also dead with 0 seeds.
If anyone knows where to find Android GB 2.3.6 today please let us know, thanks.
Hello, here you go, i found the famous OXA Open Europe (Multi-CSC) Gingerbeard 2.3.6 Rom on this website: https://chule.tistory.com/54?category=401177
This is the GT-N7000 Launch firmware if im correct, i flashed trough Odin on a phone that had 4.1.2 JB, then i wiped data + cache and it worked well, after that i went on the Phone Dialer and typed this code -> *#06# (to get the phone IMEI Number) after that i typed this -> *#272*[IMEI]# and i changed CSC to ITV (Italy), i don't see Poland in the CSC List but you can try another 2.3.6 Rom from that website, or just use Germany or another Europe Country CSC.

Sorry im wrong actually there is XEO in the CSC List (*#272*[IMEI]#), so here you go
If you need to login with Google on android 2.3.6 GB you need to Update the Google Account Manager to the latest version, then update your Android Market to the Play Store and you can use the device.
There really are no more apps that support Android GB, you can get a lot of older games from 2011-2014 (such as Geometry Dash) on the Playstore but modern apps do not run on it, Chrome and Firefox do not work.
I Reccomend to download Opera Mini from the Playstore so you can at least go on Modern Websites, if you need Facebook you can use the Lite version which is still updated and works on GB, Google Maps still works altough it's a really old version so it doesn't have all the new features.
The latest version of Instagram is from 2014 and it no longer works, you can login but it will crash, you can still use it from Opera Mini.
The last version of Youtube is 5.5.30 and it doesn't work anymore as they disabled the Api for that version in 2020, you can use YT from Opera by going to https://m.youtube.com/f
Sometimes it will not let you access Youtube and it will say that your device is no longer supported and you need to update to Android ICS (4.0), so i reccomend to use the modded Youtube Apk i attached on this post, it's basically the web version of Youtube in an App.
The latest version of Whatsapp is from 2017 but it stopped working in 2020, so you can no longer use it, you need Android 4.1 as minimum.
I downgraded my Note to GB just for fun and nostalgia (also to remove the carrier bloated JB rom), but im going to Custom Rom this phone and you should too, as i said there is no modern app that runs on Android Gingerbeard and it's not a good experience, i just wanted to test it but yea now im going to install a more modern version of Android and see how it runs.
