Ok so I have this phone from china, with stock chinese firmware. I've tried flashing with the stock firmware from my country (to no avail), has anybody had any luck with something like this? I am unable to flash custom roms or even the ota versions of android.
Need a little more info! What are you using...CWM...Odin.....what are you doing. Please elaborate.
HI thanks for taking an interest in my issue!
Well okay I've tried flashing ota roms with odin and odin mobile, I've tried using cwm recovery to flash a new rom, rooting works 100% but nothing else.
Do you have a GT-N7100 or GT-N7102 or maybe another model? Look on the box or in settings, about the phone.
I have a GT-N7100.
Is there anybody out there that's able to help?
Main question. Are you use your Galaxy Note II is Authentic?
Thanks for the reply.:good: Yeah 100%, it's running jellybean, I was able to do a software update with Samsung Kies and everything.
Update international firmware in chinese Galaxy note 2
The problem is chinese phone is a specific boot loader, so you can update only chinese firmware via OTA . If you want to install other firmwares then chinese follow the steps below:
First root your phone with odin. (PC software)
Then install mobile odin.apk file in the phone.
Then download the required firmware. All firmwares are available in this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
Then extract the downloaded zip file using winzip/7zip.
The extracted file will have .tar.md5 at the end.
Copy this file inside phone sd card or external sd card.
Inside mobile odin application, click "open file".
Go to the location where the firmware file is located.
Select options "wipe data cache" + " wipe dalwik cache"
Then press update.
Now wait for the installation. The phone will reboot normally with the international firmware.
Note: Your bootloader continues to be Chinese, but the firmware will be international.
You can enjoy all google apps, facebook, etc.,
If you need to update new firmware repeat the mobile odin process after downloading the latest firmware from XDA.
All the best let me know, your feedback.

Sorry to bring back such an old post. After all this, is their any way to install custom firmware with CWM such as Wanamlite or Cyanmod? Searched and can't find answer. People say CWM will modify the bootloader if you use any custom rom.
Thanks
Hi, I'm from Asia bought a export set of the note2 n7100. I just got to know that this unit is a Middle East unit with Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Iraq etc... is it ever possible to change the baseband and the CSC code to Asia?
I also noticed that the 4.1.2 software is not out for my unit, therefore I was wondering if I can change to CSC code to an Asia CSC code.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
try this: open phone dialer, dial: *#272* your phone Imei number and finish with #
Now you should see many CSC codes for different countries
choose one that you want and save
remember, once you press "save" device will factory reset. So back up your data.
There is also app in the market for this, but it pretty much does what I just explained above.
Back up your data first!!!

I tried *#272*imei# but doesn't seem to have any reaction. I downloaded the CSC Select but I can only choose the middle east countries...
This code won't work on note2
Why you not downloading full rom from region you like and flash using odin

hi, thanks for ur reply. flashing it with odin did came across my mind. but I was just wondering if the baseband will cause any problems. I also did wonder if I were to update using odin to another firmware, say I choose malaysia. nrxt time must I do the update via odin again? or can I use OTA?
thanks for ur advise
there won't be any issue using other country ROM.
If you flash malaysia ROM, you will get update OTA when there is update for malaysia.

cool!
do I need to backup my baseband imei etc?
I recommend only EFS backup and keep on ext Sd as well a copy on PC too
if you want to backup everything ROM including baseband you can make nandroid backup.

Hi Dr Ketan,
My phone is unrooted, can you advise what is the most safest way to backup the phone? Nandroid backup seem to require root access.
without root you won't have much option to backup
still you can use 'My backup Non root' or other similar to backup
-Contact (stock appl itself have option to backup, as well google sync)
-SMS
-Applications (without data, like credential,game level etc, you can just backup apk)

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I'm more concern about EFS backup. I've rooted my HTC HD2 before and restoring the phone was simple. But for n7100, I am afraid it's not as simple as it is.
you needs root to backup EFS
root is just 10 min procedure, and there is no risk if you follow instruction to ther letter

Hi, If I use titanium backup will it be enough?
I would presume that if I would to do nandroid backup I will need to use the "Root with ExynosAbuse apk" ?
At the moment I'm running JB 4.1.1 but I wish to update it to another countries ROM.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Titanium can't backup efs, it can just backup applications with data
For nandroid backup you need cwm (method 2in my guide)

So i've got a rooted S4 Mini running on stock firmware (4.2.2) and i want to upgrade to 4.4.2.
I've got a few questions about the procedure... What can i do to keep my contacts and text messages? I don't mind the apps much because i can install them again but if there's any way to keep those i'd find it helpful.
Also do i need to make a full backup before? And if so how should i do it?
My phone has the stock firmware from the carrier i bought it from (MEO - Portugal) and the only Portuguese 4.4.2 firmware i found on the samsung website is from Vodafone... Is that a problem? Is there a way to remove everything Vodafone related from the phone after i install it? Will my MEO sim card still work?
Final question, as the phone is rooted, will i need to root it again after?
I know it's a lot of questions but if someone could please help me i'd be very appreciated! Thanks

To backup your appdata, text messages, contacts, mobile data statistics,.. use Titanium Backup. Dont you sync your contacts with Google? But since your are simply upgrading an official firmware a backup shouldnt be necessary. ´But to be safe make a backup
A Full backup is done by flashing a custom recovery. Look for the thread here in the forum, where this procedure is explained.
If the new firmware will work with your simcard, I dont know since I'm from Europe where the firmwares are universal. For this case you have a full backup to restore if wont work.
To remove bloatware, again, use Titanium Backup.
And yes you have to root again.

Since I am in the same boat is there anywhere a procedure on how to do upgrade. Mine is also rooted and has 4.2.2. Not sure about CW or anything else. Guess I can do upgrade by loading firmware on flash card then power the device off and press volume down + home + power for a while? Once in download mode just point to file and let it go?

I'm about to upgrade the phone from the official 4.2.2 to the 4.4.2... Just one last thing, should it be done through Odin or just put it in the memory card and run it from the recovery mode? I've got the clockwork mod recovery thingy if that helps

The official firmwares from samsung-updates or sammobile are in .tar-format. You have to flash them through Odin.

Unpack the zip and delete the .dll file. You only need the .tar.md5 (I suppose it had this ending).

In this backups integrated root and recovery (SuperSU 1.93 and swipe CWM 6.0.4.7 from CM11)
There no any user data (your will be deleted) – after boot appears setup wizard. Internal storage keeps untouched.
ROM's can be installed on Single / Dual versions in any combinations.
Requirements
– unlocked bootloader
– installed CWM recovery
Important information about internal storage
4.1.2 keep files in /data/media
4.2.2 / 4.3 keep files in /data/media/0
So to have access to them move files in correspondent folder using root-filemanager.
Important information about baseband
– Every stock firmware works only with own radio version
– Basebands compatible with both versions of Xperia M: C1904/C1905 and C2004/C2005
– CyanogenMod 11 starting from FXP317 requires radio from 4.3 (new). Read more
– Older versions and non-updated custom roms based on it requires radio from 4.1.2 Single
Without appropriate radio will be no mobile network, GPS and may appears lags.
Radio normally flashed with ftf-file via flashtool or via OTA-update.
I invented to try flash radio dump via recovery as this implemented here
Thanks for testing and info @FindYanot and @PecanCM – it's worked.
So now you can easily switch between any stock firmwares without PC: just restore backup and radio.
Less brick risks as when flashing by other ways.
And no wiping internal storage like while flashing FTF.
All archives was tested before uploading and added recovery information.
So if you get error while extracting files – redownload archive. Problem on your side.
If you extracting archive on phone use ZArchiver (RootExplorer gives error).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
How-to
In short words: extract needed backup on sdcard, restore it without any wipes, flash appropriate radio.
1. Download needed backup
2. Extract from archive folder clockworkmod on external sdcard with replacing any files. There must be free at least 1 Gb
3. Download and copy on sdcard ZIP with appropriate radio version
4. Power off phone
5. Power on phone and when LED will be purple press once "Volume +" button
6. Create backup of current ROM by selecting backup and restore > backup to /storage/sdcard1. On sdcard must be free at least 1.5 Gb
7. Select backup and restore > restore from /storage/sdcard1
8. Select item with stock backup (stock_*) and confirm by selecting Yes
9. If ask Continue anyways? select Yes
10. After end of restore select Go Back > install zip > choose zip from /storage/sdcard1
11. Find ZIP with radio and confirm flashing by selecting Yes
12. After end of flashing Go Back > reboot system now
13. On question answer No
14. After a couple minutes of loading you have clean stock firmware with root and recovery
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Aw, this is bug of Sony updater.
Backup include kernel with recovery.
And because somehow Sony offers update for same firmware version.
So ignore it or freeze / delete /system/app/UpdateCenter.apk

Yes and yes, of course.
I want to Downgrade my HTC oNE m8 from OTA marshmallow to Kitkat assuming it will imporve my performance as my phone is too slow .
For this purpose i rooted my htc one M8 .it has S-ON.
I read i can do it on S_ON device by using nandroid backup so i downloaded matched CID nandroid backup by developed ahsan i.e. 3.28.401.6 and followed these steps
1. i used recovery to backup boot partition
2. in Internal storage i went to twrp folder and then the newly created boot partition backup folder where when i copied the unzipped nandroid 3.28.4016 it asked me to replace existing boot files which i didnot replace !
3. Via recovery i restored the backup, when it tried to boot after that it got stuck on the htc logo after the htc tone!!
I am new to all this ! i tried using reovery to do a reset, tried restoring boot files! nothing works!!
Kindly let me know how to make it work and install Stock HTC kitkat with root !
I will heartily appreciate it. I have now access to another phone where i can use the sd card to copy any files .
You probably need to flash KitKat firmware. Some firmwares are backward compatible with older ROMs/TWRP backups. But Kitkat in particular, is not compatible with the newer firmwares.

Sorry if i am misunderstanding you , do you mean to say i cant flash kitkat firmware as it will not be compatible with OTA installed Marshmallow?
as mentioned i tried restoring via nadroid backup,and i didn't replace existing boot files, did this cause all the problems? and if did then is there a way i can still install the backup?
I am trying to backup boot partition again but its not creating any folder while it does say it created in the recovery !
Sorry for too many questions , i am not experienced but can follow if given steps or directed to a link/links.

the latest kitkat 4.4.4 will work on marshmallow firmware ( 4.4.3 or 4.4.2 won't )
so you need to restore the full nandroid backup boot,system and data
boot only won't make the device boot up,also the twrp version which made the nandroid should be the same version to restore it ( twrp version is depending on the firmware version ) it's too confused to know whether it will work or not
it's better to flash kitkat based rom

Make sure you choose the correct location
Backup the boot to the sd card ( you can choose location "internal or external" from twrp menu while you do backup )
After it done put the nandroid folder in the same path with the boot folder
It should be like that either on internal or external

i don't think you can update,it will fail
but why you didn't restore 3.28.401.9 from the thread i linked earlier ?? no need to update it's directly 3.28.401.9 the latest kitkat
you can disable auto update in setting but the notification i don't know if it will be gone after disable the auto update or not

Yes, the update fails ! but i think i am not loosing anything by not updating except maybe improved wifi hotspot performance? i am right in thinking that?
i went to the thread but missed the 3.28.401.9 download link, i had the previous version already ready and was desperate to make it work so i restored that.
thanks again for your help.

You can't update with TWRP installed (OTA requires stock recovery). The update will also fail if you are rooted. You need the stock never rooted ROM to update. Unrooting will not work (OTA will fail).
If you want to go to 3.28.401.9 it probably makes more sense to just restore the stock backup 3.28.401.9 from the collection: https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Note that the backups from the collection are not rooted. But you just need to flash the appropriate version SuperSU to root.
