I know that Samsung phones in China are usually unable to flash international ROMs even official ones with the same model number, so I was wondering if anyone knows if the same is true for tablets (WiFi only)?
I'm guessing no one yet knows for the Note 2014 specifically since the Chinese version hasn't yet shipped, but maybe someone knows about other recent tablets (tab 3 etc.)

I know for a fact that the Korean versions and the US versions are different from the global model. What are some other variations?

What do you mean different? The only thing that changes are software (US Carriers will add some junk) and the radio bands that are supported (although if it's all the same chip, then any N2 could be repurposed with a flash or two ie. AT&T Note flashed to work on T-Mo Note, although they were both using Snapdragon chipsets).
Different as in ROMs and Kernels are not compatible

U.S. Note IIs don't use Snapdragon SoCs. They use the same Rev. 2.0 Exynos 4412 as the N7100.

Yeah, I was talking about the original Note (the Note II hasn't been released yet in the states... so my statement about flashing the AT&T model to work on T-Mo wouldn't make sense). Although I'm very jealous of you internationals, I still gotta wait a week... for the announcement...

You are absolutely right! They are all different and you should not flash SHV-E250S with any other ROM, like I did. You can read my posts to understand the result.

1. From the specs that I've actually seen online, SGH-T889 has the UMTS1700/2100 (B4) band instead of the UMTS900 (B8) band of the GT-N7100. All other bands and the rest of the hardware appear to be exactly the same between the US T-Mobile and the International Unlocked variants. Although some places mention that T889 also has a "blocked" LTE band...
2. Also, N7105 appears to have all the same bands and hardware as the N7100, and two additional LTE bands: LTE2600 (B7) and LTE800 (B20). There also appears to be a N7105T variant, which has LTE1800 (B3) instead of the B20 band on the N7105.
...alright, this can quickly become quite a tedious post
...so a little deeper google searching reveals that this information is already being compiled in a more readable format and certainly looks much more complete, too.
e.g. here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_II
and here!
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacom...=3877&id11=3826&id12=3851&id13=3832&id14=3853
At least twelve variants... at least on paper, that is:
Samsung Galaxy Note II Variants
00. GT-N7100
01. SC-02E
02. GT-N7105T (LTE)
03. GT-N7105 (LTE)
04. SCH-i605 (LTE)
05. SCH-N719 (CDMA)
06. GT-N7108
07. SPH-L900 (LTE)
08. SCH-R950 (LTE)
09. SGH-T889 (US T-Mobile, LTE?)
10. SGH-i317 (LTE)
11. SHV-E250S (LTE)
Not sure how reliable all this info is, but hopefully it helps to clarify the confusion about the variants (of which there appears to be a lot!) and to make a more educated purchase decision...
There have been a lot of updates to the Wikipedia article referred above, just in the past three hours... hopefully our wiki page http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_2 reflects this info soon, too.
hey guys, I'm sorry if this is already spoken about on here but I've been searching for hours and cant find an answer!
i want to buy the Note 2 & I'm currently w/ ATT.
There was an international one on amazon and id thought i was better off w. the international one since I do travel
out of the country and heard that the international already has or receiving the multi-view update quicker.
However after more reading Ive read that the international ones aren't 4G/LTE capable with ATT or any US carriers.
Is this trueee?
thnks in advance!
btw, the model # is n7100
That is true

Hello all,
Hope you're all enjoying the festive season!!!
Just a quick question as I'm getting conflicting info with my Google searches.
Galaxy Note II - UK (EE network so carrier unlocked) what is the latest Official Samsung Android version available???
Im currently on 4.1.1 but read on certain sites that 4.1.2 is available! Is this correct? I look on Samfirmware.com and cant find the 4.1.2 update and also when I scan for updates on my handset it also says no update is available...
Any confirmation available would be much appreciated

If your on ee I presume youve got the N7105 not the n700. Make sure you've got the right device model and then search sammobile firmware section
I'm running 4.1.2 the South African version on ee inn the uk with no problems. I think there isva polish and swedish one as well
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
it isn't released in uk, us etc. As they are too mainstream to have the update with bugs. They are first released in Poland. Then south Asian countries like India etc. that bugs are reported as quickly as possible.

No im n7100 - had the device since launch. The 7105 is the lte version which came later, which has no use in the UK at present as 4g isn't readily available and won't be for the next year or 2

Hi,
I have a Galaxy note ii 7105
I read everywhere that Jelly Bean 4.1.2 is out in the UK for OTA or Kies but i have been trying for a week and no sign of an update.
Any one know when it is coming or is there something I am doing wrong?
My device is
AP:N7105XXALIJ
CP:N7105BVALIG
CSC:N7105EVRALIC
I was given the phone as a gift and think it came from EE but it is unlocked and I have my O2 sim in it at the moment.
Any help advice, has anyone else managed to undate it over the air or via kies.
I dont want to root it as I only have a MAC (its a girl thing) so cant run any of the third party update software.
Let me know and is it totally frustrating to keep reading about this update and not be able to get it..
Cheers
Bex

Hi Bex
Look like the latest is what you have no one on lte is showing 4.1.2 as far as I can see
To be honest 4.1.2 on standard note 2 caused all kind of battery problems in not rushing to update my note 2
CSC is the code which determines where your phone comes from and which updates you have

Thank you for that for that I will just have to sit and wait. I have to say that sucks this is the one downside of Andriod compared to Apple.

Alas Bex that is the downside with samsung they have a strange roll out for updates
Normally unlocked handsets get the update first but on my note 2 (not 4g) two mobile operators 3 and vodaphone have pushed out the 4.1.2 update first and im on unlocked version and havent got it so im spitting feathers

My CSC ends in ALJ4 and I am on BTU UK firmware. Does that mean my phone is unlocked? It is unbranded and I bought it from carphone warehouse as an upgrade for o2.
As I understand it, BTU is unlocked - it is the generic UK firmware ie not linked to a particular carrier.

Samsung really need to sort this out as this kind of lack of consistency will lose them users. I see why Nexus devices are so popular as they always get updates. I love my Nexus7 its a joy to uses. Shame my NoteII is stuck on 4.1.1 I am not going to root it but Samsung are opening themselves up to people hacking with there lack of updates.

YES. EXCLUSIVELY TO SOUTH KOREA :laugh: Do not expect for 805 version to come abroad...
and no the LTE radios won't work in the US......
Edit - Actually I am not 100% sure the radios won't work in the US. Everything I've read seems to indicate it is only for Korea, but most articles are also focusing on the new LTE-A radio. I haven't seen anything to indicate what other radios are going to be included.
When can we buy one? It will work down here.
The S5 lte-a will work on at&t so I assume the g3 will.

well. this kinda sucks. I just bought the international version less than 1 month ago.
oh well. if It ever came to the local imported market here I will trade. because I do not think this will become the international version any time soon. but who knows.
I will hold out for the 805...we all knew it was coming lol.
801 g3 isnt even out yet here in canada so i can wait awhile longer.
