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.

SM-G9280 China Version does not have any google apps including google play as Chinese gov blocked google completely. I'm wondering how to install those google apps too.

Hey. Did you try to flash one of G.Apps package zips? If your device isn't rooted, you can download google services stuff from internet. I have a device which is brand China at the same situation as yours. I downloaded all google stuffs and use google things normally. You better try it some. Have a look at that:

Chinese here.
You must root your phone at first ,then you can install google package with TWRP.
Or you can just flash g9287 firmware that have google services.

Hi keures..
I have rooted and installed TWRP (although in chinese) and flashed Gapps 64bit which worked out quite well.
Do you know of a TWRP english version for the 9280?
Also, would like to try and flash the 9287 firmware, but do you know if anyone has been successful with that?
Thanks beforehand

I did not try the firmware but tested a custom rom Aurora_G9287_OJ9_V4.0 a couple weeks ago. Got bootloops for some reason.

SM-G9287 will require PIT file and re-partition the phone. You better make sure to have the PIT file for the SM-G9280 before you do that (use the IMEI etc app to generate the PIT - Dr. Ketan file). I have not flashed anything other than the 9280 FW plus chainfire auto-root, then manual customization. I uploaded the pit file by changing the extension to .doc. Download and change back to .pit.
I haven't been able to verify the PIT, and haven't seen anyone else post it, so use at your own risk!

UK Customised firmware

Hi,
Does anyone from the UK know what pre-installed apps come with the Vodaphone firmware? Spotify etc
Im trying to install a spotify apk and it wont install because it is pre-loaded onto the firmware
Thanks

Which firmware is better?

My model is xt1641 but... i want performance and that can degrade google play service v12.6.85 :crying:
What firmware are you interested in, stock Motorola firmware or custom ROM firmware? Also, why do you wish to downgrade your Google Play services - what are your main issues with versions later than v12.6.85?

Z17s(NX595j): How to get gapps(google play) working with chinese firmwares

Hello,
As the chinese firmwares are more up to date than the eu ones, I want to use them on my Z17s.
Unfortunately these firmwares exclude the google play etc.
When I tied to install playstore with some installers I found, I'm not able to finish the google sign in to install the google account on the phone
Anyone has a solution to get playstore working??

If you like the stock firmwares and don't mind messing with TWRP and then Magisk (to be able to use things like Google Pay, etc) you may try this firmware, compiled by a Chinese user that combines Android Pie and NubiaUI. It began with NubiaUI 6 but was recently updated with version 7. It's the one I'm using right now and works like a charm:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nubia-z17/how-to/android-pie-rom-nubia-ui-6-0-nubia-z17s-t3994419
You will have to install the corresponding gapps along with the firmware, but it works.

Looking for a version of firmware

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.
