I have a Hong Kong Galaxy Note II, and I want to flash the official UK ROM on it.
I know the phone should work fine, however I want to know whether desktop Kies will recognise it as an official firmware and be able to receive future updates.
Basically, I want to convert a Hong Kong Galaxy Note II to a factory UK Galaxy Note II and be able to receive future updates through Kies as if it were a UK Note II.

No, Kies will not update your firmware if you have firmware installed that is not specificaly for your country/region. You have to do upgrades manualy with Odin.

Is it possible to somehow convert the phone to another region so Kies will update it?

Then you would have to change the product code, but why would you. Flashing a rom with Odin takes about 5 minutes mate, and is safer and better than Kies (wich is crappy software)

How can I change the product code to the UK unlocked version? The only reason I prefer Kies is so I can sell the phone at a later date on eBay without running into any problems, as it will be exactly the same as the UK version (if that makes sense)
Google it or search the xda forum.

I honestly had a look, but I can't find much information on it at all. Does changing the CSC also change the product code?
What if you flash different country ROM with odin? Will you have some problems with it. will you have some problems with radio or with something else because it's a ROM from another country?

Once if you have got the courage to install from odin, don't think you will ever need to wait for an official update for your region

No offense to the folks running good versions of the UK 4.2.2 firmware, but since the U.S. version is out does anyone have that available to install on a a rooted but stock N5110 wifi note 8?
www androidcentral com/android-422-now-available-wifi-galaxy-note-8-kies-and-ota
I don't want the UK version (nothing against UK), but I can't seem to find the US one on the forums. Can someone link me if it is available? If not, just confirm that it isn't available yet and I'll just have to unroot and re-root.
Thanks
US stock firmware 4.2.2 is not available.

My US GT-N5110 Note 8.0 was updated to 4.2.2 through the setup menu last week. I found a couple issues with it. I would rather to stay with 4.1.2.
not sure why you can't just upgrade to the US 4.2.2 via Kies and then just root it? I can see if you were asking for a deoxed zipalign stock version, but since you didn't mention anything of that... just unroot and turn your 4.1.2 back to stock, and load up Kies and upgrade to 4.2.2 then root it.

no. it is available....where did you guys come up that it is not?
First I was talking about a version to get that was downloadable on my own not via ota or kies.
I rooted but i am not running custom rom or recovery... Kept everything else stock.
And I can't unroot and update via ota because I get message about my device being modified still after I use voodoo rootkeeper. Anyway I am at a loss on how to update now anyway and I really don't want to use a custom rom. .

I have 2 Note 8.0s (GT-N5110). One is running CM10.2 and the other WAS running that CivZ ROM; now it's running stock 4.2.2 with root. I go back and forth between original ROM with these 2 units. Just using Kies going back to stock. and they are US version of 4.2.2

it is at http://www.sammobile.com/, go search your device number...make sure you download the right version. If you have N5110 US WiFi, you should be downloading "N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_XAR.zip", unzip it, when you unzip, you should end up N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_HOME.tar.md5, and then use odin to flash it...remember, this is stock firmware, so if you device rooted, you will loose...
Hi guys, I'd like to know what's the best 4.3 ROM for my Note 2, I'd like to install one that includes all the features from the Note 3, but without many custom apps installed as well, I mean I'm looking a clean 4.3 ROM, but with the Note 3 features, what would you recommend? thank you!

Everyone has modded 4.3. To get what you want you would have to build yourself. Or maybe install leaked version, (open asia newest) and install n3 apps.....
We should see official really really soon so just hold out.

According to rumors, when are youg going to receive the 4.3 update in your country? I'm in Central America, so I'm not really hopeful about seeing it soon...by the way, If I'm rooted, I won't get the notification of the update, right? :S thanks!

I'm in the US so I don't have an update coming my way. I'm just going to use the U.K. or Asian version. The official will have multi language so you can Odin in any update you want.
As for being rooted, I think you will get the notification but it wont update.

Sir I updated my galaxy s3 i747 with leaked firmware 4.3 with no knox.
It has unrooted my phone.
When I try to root my phone again.
I cannot root it.
And im having a battery problem.
It drains very fast.
Which ROM did you flash? You have the s3 from AT&T?

I've never seen an official AT&T stock 4.3 ROM. I know AT&T released 4.3 as an OTA update but don't think they released a full ROM.

Aren't those are re-packaged ROMs rather than being a complete 4.3 ROM similar to Rogers/Bell/Telus ROMs? To install, you have to Odin back to a stock rom or TW-based ROM.

am sure there is an official firmware from at&t and its hidden in this threads or somewhere on the net plus i was on a 4.1.2 stock, i dont like leaks just the official cleaned out so i did not have any problems with bootloaders/updating etc....... did not bother to use odin just flashed with CMW and everything worked
edit: devs need the official firmware from AT&T to work on , without it they have nothing (assuming you already know that)

AT&T did not release an official Odin tar for 4.1.2 or 4.3 it would be great if they did but they haven't and don't have any plans to do so.
Even without the tar files I think our developers have done a great job.

Agreed. The devs worked directly from the OTA. They never had the official firmware, as they all will tell you. You're not going to find it here or anywhere on the net.

I understand the devs had to re-create the ROM. My point was that these aren't stock, but they are certainly good to have around

AT&T released official for 4.1.2 , dont know what happned with 4.3 but blame Samsung cuz after 4.1.1 S3's update, updates went down from there ........4.1.2 update was great, 4.3 being a WTF and no 4.2.2 .........but am optimistic that 4.4 is coming for S3's and never will CM/AOKP/PARANOID roms forsake the S3 it will have 5+ versions

So since you allege AT&T released official firmware for 4.1.2(some other way than OTA) obviously my search skills aren't what they should be. Can you provide a link to backup your allegations?
Whether or not we get updates has little to do with Samsung and more to do with the service provider, and it is the service provider whom determines if we get an official copy released.
My thought is that AT&T is attempting to discourage us from customizing our devices. Some people have no business customizing anything and that can cause them to attempt to return their device under warranty. When the owner was the cause of the device failure that costs the provider money...

Btw I want to apologize to the OP here is a link to some roms that are pre rooted they're very close to stock with only minor differences mostly in its capabilities and some are debloated. These will get you rooted for sure, remove knox and should do what you want. I like the one from loserskater. This link below works only on the AT&T SGH-I747.

I'm trying to help a friend with his N7105 and I am lost.
He has been rooted running custom roms for a long time so that he could get group messaging. Now that the Hangouts app is available for download I'm trying to get him back to stock unrooted and he can do his own thing from here out. In doing so I realized that 4.3 was released for his model. I have looked for FW files on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ for the right file, but don't see anything for the US or AT&T. But, there are sites all over saying it was released in a roll-out back in December like Android Police.
I've read from the forums on sammobile that you can flash another countries firmware package, but then you'll only get OTAs from that country. Also, if the package you use is carrier specific you'll have to unlock to phone again. Is there no AT&T US package available? If not, what are my best options?
Any help?
Don't know if this helps or not

The US ATT version of the Note II is the SGH-I317, does your friend have an ATT branded phone or an imported N7105?. Sawdoctor's link will work if it is an I317. Flashing a rom from a different country won't SIM lock the phone, but will install the default apps from whatever phone company's build is used. I have an N7105, live in Belgium but use the German TMobile build on my phone, I had no issues going from CM11 back to 4.3 (I actually did this on Tuesday).

That's the hard part. The phone is branded as AT&T and the sticker under the battery says SGH-I317 but if you boot it into bootloader it says it's a N7105. He bought the phone used from a local classifieds site to use with AT&T, he broke his screen after a few months and sent it into Samsung to repair it. I'm not sure if he was returned the same phone he sent if or if they just sent out a phone a different phone. Not sure if it's a N7105 that was imported (or in this case, refurbed and sent to him).
