GT-N7105 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys first I would like to know if there is a 7105 specific forum, since there are so many 71xx variants it should be nice and easier to find related threads.
So for the real matter, I recently bought an international GN2 (Hong Kong version). I am new to android smartphones so my questions are: what are the base band and build number, and what they stand for and differ? On Kies what are pda, phone and csc (what they stand for)?
Which stock room can I flash, and what method can I safely use? Preferably an English room (since mine is Chinese by default and I will have to change it every time I reset the phone), and the latest stable android version.
My phone data is: GT-N7105, android 4.1.1, baseband n7105zhali5, build number jro03c.n7105zhalj4, pda lj4, phone li5, csc lj4 (tgy).
Sorry for being so noob.
Cheers

Hi, tnx for the follow up. I have read your thread before (very nice btw), but I couldn't figure things out since I don't know what those codes mean. So which stock room is compatible with my device, any? What is the latest android vers for it?
Cheers

That's the latest one for your rom

I know that, tnx.
What I am asking is what is the latest version for the GT-N7105, and which rom (with the latest android version, in English preferably) is compatible with my device.
Cheers

First post of that thread having latest release, you may find under feb13 released
You can flash any of it.
ROMs mentioned there are for n7105 only, and you can flash any of it. Those are listed ascending order from latest to older

Ok thank you. Now those are carrier rooms or not? I if they are are installing it will bring all the bloat carrier puts in right? Are any of those carrier free?

anyway what you are getting by dialling *#1234#

It says what I posted on OP which are:
AP : N7105ZHALJ4
CP : N7105ZHALI5
CSC: N7105ZZHALJ4
Does it change anything?
Cheers

It suggests your current rom is from Hong Kong, but there is no latest update released for Hong Kong. So you can flash other like Singapore or other from Feb released.

Yes it is from Hong Kong, isn't Singapore in Chinese also?
Tnx man for the help

English is available in all rom, just you need to select first time after factory reset.

Tnx man for the help!

You are saying is I think same rom
Each rom mentioned there have 2 tab in name
Like
N7105 ****ma8 N7105 *LHAma1 - country (carrier)
Here first block suggest rom version, first block last three letter usually known as build version rom like ma8 in above said example
Second block last three digit shows csc version like ma1 in above example
And three letter before that suggest country for rom
If it is lha as shown in above example that means it is from Hong Kong (LHA)
If you like to download one from Singapore, then get from one which is on top, that one will be latest.

GT-N7105 to the stock rom for AT&T in the US ?
I am new to android and have a question. I am trying to replace my custom rom on my GT-N7105 to the stock rom for AT&T in the US. But all I keep finding are international version Roms. Is there a US Version or am I supposed to use a international version ? I just figured out difference of N7100 (Non-LTE) and N7105 (LTE). Any help would be greatly appreciated here.

Your good to go as long as you flash the correct firmware. ( n7100= n7100 , n7105= n7105. You know what i mean) im from the philippines and im using the latest france 4.1.2 firmware. The only diff is the csc code/ product code.

Hi;
Anyone knows when the release date for Note II 4.1.2 update for middle east ( Saudi Arabia )

Flash firmware for some other country.
They really aren't so different.
Just make sure it has the same radio.

so there's no difference at all ?!
Some are country tailored like system and input languages and country specific modems and country specific apps.
But generally they are same.
But make sure you use the one with same modem as yours.

Same story again. If you want the newest firmware for your N7100 just flash the newest N7100 firmware with Odin that is available. No warranty lost, you are flashing an official package.

[Q] Is the Hong Kong GT-N7105 Hardware different vs other GT-N7105's?

Seems like a really daft question, but I've read a few pages that suggest you shouldn't flash the Stock Unbranded GT-N7105 ROM's (i.e. the UK ROM) to the Hong Kong GT-N7105.
For example the last sentence of the second paragraph.
I can find no evidence at all to support this claim, other than a discussion I'm having with a user in this thread where he's saying he's flashed some GT-N7105 ROM's to his Hong Kong GT-N7105 phone and they haven't worked.
I've got a HK GT-N7105 and I'm keen to move it to something that's not the HK Firmware (because it's still stuck on 4.1.1).
Can anyone tell me for sure (please don't guess ) if there's an actual hardware difference? I can't believe there is given the model number doesn't change!
Thanks.
I live in Hong Kong and using Hong Kong version N7105.
There is no difference between other region's N7105, not that I know of.
N7105 = International unlocked Note 2 LTE,
N7105 doesn't mean Hong Kong only device.

FYI I flashed the standard New Zealand Vodafone ROM to my Note 2 LTE today and it's fine.
So the warnings are bull****.

[Q] Update to Official 4.3 via Kies (or other)

Its to my understanding that samsung released the 4.2 update for the galaxy note 2. I have the international verison. When I connect my device to kies it doesnt recognize my firmware version. I think they have been rolling out based on country my concern is that because it is an international verison and the only news that I've heard about the update for that note 2 in the U.S is the carrier verisons, is there a way to update officially?

Wait for it to come out for your country and flash it with odin.
You can check here: www.samfirmware.com/ or here: http://samsung-updates.com/
Keep in mind that you will get the new KNOW boot-loader and the up-mentioned update is 4.3 not 4.2.x

I forgot that 4.2 was skipped. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep a look out.
I have GT-N7100 international version. I'm in UAE. I want to update to 4.3 which is out for other counties. Is there any issue of I download firmware from sammobile for India region and install on my note 2? My phone is rooted. Please check the attached picture for my build and details. Little guidance is appreciated as I'm still newbie.

Help understanding different regions firmware

Hey guys,
Just got my P605 in a store here in Portugal, and even though it is awesome as it is, I can't live without root xb
I know I'm going to trip Knox eventually, so off to the point:
My firmware version, according to *#1234# is as follows
AP: P605XXUBMJ9
CP: P605XXUBMJ4
CSC: P605ATOMBL1
The thing is, according to the original thread of Universal Root de la Vega (if I understood it correctly), I should search in SamMobile or google for my CSC, but I can't find it anywhere. I noticed, however, that there's a Portugal(TMN) version available in SamMobile, and TMN is my carrier, so I'd like to know if is there any problem in doing the URLD procedure with a "different" (I suppose its a different firmware, I'm coming from a Nexus device which is much simpler to root when compared to Samsung, or any other brand for that matter xb) version, like the one I mentioned above (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=22912)
Thanks in advance for all your answers
PS. Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I didn't find the answer anywhere and that's why I asked... If that's the case, please point me in the right direction
PS2. I'm already assuming that I'll trip Knox, if there's anyway that I won't, even better

Forgot to mention in my previous post that the tablet came preconfigured in German, so I guess this firmware is the one for Germany.

Just flashing another firmware doesn't trip KNOX does it I mean, as long as I don't modify it or try to downgrade...

That's right, as long as you aren't trying to downgrade bootloaders, replace kernel or recovery with custom ones, Knox will play nice.... Just find the firmware you want and flash it with PC ODIN....
If you're using ODIN 3.09 the single firmware.tar file goes in AP... If it's a broken up rom just follow the pieces - ap in ap, csc in csc etc....
Older versions it's PDA...
