I've just received my Note 10.1 2014 Edition 32GB in Black from the US. I've noticed that I cannot watch Play Movies in HD, which I have experienced before due to a firmware issue on a different device. In order to rectify this, should I flash the UK official firmware?
My current firmware is P600XEUAMJ4, and I intend to flash P600XXUAMJ2.

Hi
I bought an LTE N5210 note 8 from HK via a company called Panamoz. Unfortunately, it is not getting updates beyond 4.1.3, and I know that 4.2.2 is available for it. Does anyone know how to reset the CSC such as it reports that its a UK note, or indeed, can I flash the UK Firmware?
Not really interested in root cause it stops a couple of banking apps I use working, but I guess I can root, flash then unroot?
Anyone else had any experience of the HK note, I dont really want to brick my device.
I can confirm that it works fine with LTE from EE - something else that I am reading might break if I update it to the UK firmware.

Galaxy Note 2 (International) GT-N7100 CHN N7100ZCUEMK3 Android 4.3 11.11.2013 2010080
Has anyone tried this firmware? Is it stable?
I bought my GT-N7100 in Indonesia. It is compatible with my phone?
The firmware is for China,I f your phone is N7100,you shouldn't face any problem..so go for it.But,Beware it might contain KNOX enabled bootloder,so do some research before flashing..
Gud luck.

Hi ,
Don't flash this ROM for Indonesia version of Note 2.
The boot loader for China Note 2 is different from International ones.
There are strong reasons, that you may brick your phone. Thanks
Hi there,
Sorry to resurrect a month old thread. I just wanted to chuck my findings at this as I have recently received a GT-N7100 CHN N7100ZCUEMK3 Galaxy Note 2 as a birthday present from my wife. And if anybody could recommend any suggestions that would be great!
As I now live in the UK as opposed to China I was getting frustrated that I couldn't use Google Play and the default search engine is Baidu and can't be changed to Google, so i've been trying for the past few days to flash it but it just won't work.
I've been downloading only the official stock roms for the international N7100 and so far i've tried 10 versions from various regions (Europe, UK, India, US) and none of them work. Some fail the moment you hit start on Odin, others will go through the entire process and fail at the end - thus soft bricking my mobile.
Luckily I have been able to use Kies to restore it - which I've installed on the laptop as opposed to my PC which is doing the flashing - but this just puts it back to Chinese mode.
I should also note that the China version is Knox enabled - mine is now burned so anybody else trying this really ought to be careful.

Sorry to resurrect so old thread, but I have an exact same phone with that firmware from China, and wanted to put either the international version or cyanogenmod on it. So did you ever get anything besides China roms installed?
Hi All,
Looking for a bit of advice here with my newly purchased Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (P605).
I'm in Australia and I bought it from what I thought was a reseller with the local version but when the device turned up it had an international power plug and what looks to be a Hong Kong ROM.
So first thing I did was try and flash it with the Australian unbranded firmware and every time Odin fails with an FAIL! (Size) error. I've tried both the unbranded and the Telstra firmware with no luck. The only way I could get the device back to a working state was by installing the Taiwan ROM (I expect the Hong Kong ROM may have worked too).
Anyone got any suggestions as to how to resolve this? Having the Chinese keyboard pop up frequently when I connect my bluetooth keyboard is pretty annoying. I've read some stuff about this perhaps being related to partitioning?
Other options I'm looking at are flashing the device with the UK firmware and even the South Korean 4.4.2 firmware. I've got a Galaxy S5 with 4.4.2 and I think it is much nicer than 4.3 - would be good to standardise the OS on both as the little inconsistencies are a bit annoying.
Appreciate any thoughts and thanks in advance.

DON'T flash the Korean KK firmware... When looking for a rom only pick P605 rom, the Korean rom is a different model number.. It will brick your device.
Try the UK rom (BTU). You should be able to flash just about any P605 rom (nothing with with letters behind) but the Oz rom is weird... I'm in same boat, got the Hong Kong 32gb P605 but can't flash Oz rom. Not gonna sweat it though as there are a bunch of other roms out there with a release of KK not far off, the nordish Notes just got updated to KK on the 29th...
Shouldn't be too long...
4.4.2 installed

Not to worry - I've installed 4.4.2 NEE from the instructions at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766394&page=12
Only one problem though - the left key on the Galaxy S5 brings up the app list while on the Note 10.1 2014 it brings up the settings menu (same behaviour as my S4). I don't care either way really but some consistency would be nice!! Dunno how many times already I've pushed the left button on the Note looking for the app list.
I have bought Samsung Galaxy G9008w from China. I want to upgrade this version to European firmware. Is it possible to change g9008w firmware to g900FD firmware.
Hi I have browsed these forums for many years and they have served me well but this is my first question.
I have been given an old Samsung Galaxy Note II International Version. However the firmware is Chinese and thus has no play services. I am wondering if it is possible to switch from Chinese To English firmware and upgrade to the official Kit Kat upgrade, without rooting my device?
Here are some details of my device:
Model - GT-N7100
Android Version - 4.3
Baseband Version - N7100ZCUENB1
There may be a very short answer of "No" coming my way but I just wondered if this is indeed possible. I have the English firmware version for the N7100 already for the Android Version 4.4.2, I have experience with flashing via Odin.
Help is much appreciated.
Boot into download mode and verify the model #.
If it is a Note 2 that is made for mainland China, you may not be able to flash any English stock ROMs to the phone.
