Greetings,
4 days ago I got my Note 2, brand new from a greek Vodafone.
I checked my stock firmware prior to rooting, flashing etc, and it was a JRO03xx ALIJ.
I could not find any firmware like this on any gsm model.
Is it possible that I have an LTE hardware model and branded as a GSM N7100 ??
I asked samsung and they said that if it says N7100 then N7100 it is...
Not possible.

Dear All
I have a problem and am sure some one in XDA Forums can help me out ::crying:
I am from New Delhi, India and I bought a used unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note ( SHV-E160L , U+LTE ) in Seoul ,Korea.
The seller assured that the phone is unlocked....
My 3G enabled Indian SIM card works fine here in Korea on International roaming but was advised by a friend that this model will not work in India.
Can anyone please advise whether this model would work on GSM networks in India ?
In case it does not work can some Custom ROM be downloaded to make it work for Indian Service Providers ?? I am a novice in terms of flashing the ROMS and Kernel versions etc. thus worried ....
Any help/suggestions in the above regard would be sincerely appreciated.... Awaiting your suggestions !!

Hello Amit,
Did you receive any updates for your query ? Were you able to use U+ LTE version of Korean Note (E160L) on Indian GSM Network?
I'd be happy if there is any other Happy User of E160L on Indian GSM networks Please let me know, as my friend too is planning to buy one.
Thanks!
If anyone else too is looking for the answer:
Yes!! SHV-E160L on stock binary worked perfectly fine on Indian 3G/2G GSM network (Airtel Karnataka).
Baseband Version: E160L.FH02.1442.LT
Build number: IMM76D.UH24
I recently bought a Note 2 ( i317M, Rogers, unlocked ) as a gift for my Dad. My dad speaks Chinese natively but the phone comes with only English, French and Korean. I wanted to flash CM10 / AOKP on it but I was not sure if they come with Chinese.
So I brought the phone to a local phone store and had them flash a ROM with Chinese on it. Everything seems to be working properly after but the Model Number became GT-N7105 with Baseband version I317MVLALJ2. So I'm guessing the guy at the store flashed a N7105 ROM on it? Is there any problem keeping it this way? If I flash a proper ROM back, would it change the model number back to i317M?
Thank you in advance!
I just picked up a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (model: SGH-T889V) from my local WIND Mobile carrier in Canada as a backup device. To my knowledge, this is the same variant which is used by T-Mobile. I'm told the device hardware supports LTE but since WIND Mobile is not a premium carrier, Samsung has crippled this feature.
I have a Note 3 and after unlocking the device, I was able to use chainfire's method for ROOTING the device, installing TWRP recovery and then flashing with the Telus Mobility ROM (as all Canadian Note 3 devices are the same variant: SM-N900W8).
My concern is I am new to ROOTING/FLASHING and have searched the forums but am looking for concrete advice so I do not end up bricking my device. I am currently running Android 4.1.2 (stock from WIND at day of purchase) and when I go into the regional carrier settings, I do not see the regional code for Telus (TLS). I did see this on my Note 3 but I did not look until after unlocking and rooting so maybe it will not display until the proper ROM is loaded.
My questions are:
1) Can I use the same version of ODIN I have downloaded when ROOTING/FLASHING my Note 3?
2) Can I flash the same version of TWRP I did for my Note 3 or is TWRP device dependent? If I need a new version, could someone post a link for my model: SGH-T889V?
3) Can I flash the Telus ROM for their Note 2 variant (like I did my Note 3) or will this brick my device? If not, what ROM can I flash so I have LTE capability?
With my Note 3, it was straight forward! All I did was ROOT, FLASH TWRP recovery, install the Telus SM-N900W8 ROM, enable the regional setting for TLS and voila, I had LTE. I'm going to assume it's a little more difficult with the Note 2 but answering my questions and the guidance you provide would be much appreciated and help in my process. Thanks!
Hello I have this note 2 N7100 international model. Is it possible can i put Note 2 stock rom for any Canadian network like rogers, bell or telus canada ? i could be some asian network but i am not sure about the network .
Hello,
I have a Samsung Note N7105, which was originally on Vodafone and has Cynagen 10.1 flashed on it. I am currently on the Three's network.
I want to move back to the stock rom. Do I have the option of installing the H3G firmware from Sam's mobile firmware website or I need to install the Vodafone firmware again?
Many thanks in advance.
You can flash any n7105 firmware on your device. You might have to enter your apn or flash the correct modem for your carrier but I doubt it while they are from the same country.
