[Q] CHN N7100ZCUEMK3 Android 4.3 is it flash able to other countries?

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?

[Q] Failed firmware update on SM-P605

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.
Dave

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.

S4 Mini i9195 Stock Firmware KK?

I can't find a STOCK FW for the i9195. By stock, I mean something without a carrier name at the end, when surfing sammobile.com. To be more specific, I'm looking for the latest (4.4.2) FW with Romanian (XXUCNEA or something similar) and stock.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

For now there is no version for ROM
Only Vodafone Romania,
Only nonbranded one is Spain, New Zeland , Slovakia , Germany

In that case, can Romanian be added later?

U mean language ? or ROM firmware version
If u mean firmware u have to ask samsung WHEN they will release for other countries
If u mean language, Romanian is available in all versions i think

Here's the thing: the phone was just purchased from Orange and I'm not conforable with the bloatware. I was looking for the latest KK clean ROM and I settled with the Spain version.
What I'm asking now is offtopic and it's about a way to CLEAN flash a ROM. I was wondering about this when a problem occured with the signal. It kept droping and I read it had something to do with the firmware.
So, is there a way to clean flash a ROM on a Samsung?

Changing CSC on A520F/DS -- a couple of questions

Hi guys and girls of XDA!
I have recently bought a used A5 2017 Dual SIM on eBay and I am in awe with its battery life even after the Oreo upgrade.
However, Samsung does not sell Dual SIM models here in Germany, my model comes from Iran (CSC: THR)
I have read the forum, but I haven't found answers to my questions.
I want to flash a DBT version onto my phone ans I have a couple of questions.
1) I have a DS model which were never available on a German market. Will Dual SIM work after I flash and will I get updates after I flash?
2) The german version of (mono-SIM) firmware, which is available on Sammobile still has A520FXXU7CRH9 baseband. I have already updated to the -I9 one. Does that mean that I cannot revert back o the H9 and will have to wait until german phones get I9?
3) My phone came with a sticker "Middle Eastern and African SIM only". Both slots work with German (and some other) SIMs as of now. Will this setting revert back and it will be locked to those SIMs, if I change CSC?
4) If I will apply the Combination CSC from Sammobile , will I get access to every region-locked option without tripping knox?
Thanks in advance!
Alex.

Anybody here? up!

I don't know the answers to your specific questions - but if the dual sim (Iran) phone you have works with your german sims why are you trying to reflash it?
Is there a problem or something that is not working?
I live in New Zealand and have an imported UAE (United Arab Emirates) 2017 A5 with dual SIM and it works just fine. I havent tried the second sim, but have heard of other people that have and it works as expected. The phone doesnt have any UAE junkware. You are right - the battery life on this phone is great. I did find the always on display uses more battery that I like though. Really wish they had an option that just turned the AOD on when you got a notification (new email/text/missed call etc) but Samsung don't seem to want to provide useful features like this. I came from a galaxy Note 2 and miss that little notification LED
If it helps, I see that the A520F and A520F/DS do not have different firmware - I have searched and there are plenty of posts on this forum where people have flashed Dual SIM hardware with the 'standard' A520F software and report that the dual SIM functionality works fine.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series-2017/help/sm-a520f-to-sm-a520f-ds-t3704566
The DS model was never officially sold in new Zealand (the single SIM model was) but I have received the Oreo update and several security updates for my phone anyway since I bought it.

Hi, thanks for your reply!

VoLTE is not showing up in settings, for instance. I would need this option sometimes.

I get 26-28 hours of norml usage.
However one thing that irritates me is why it loses up to 10% over the night? Everything is closed and AOD is off, too. Other than that I had to uninstall Chrome because it literally ate up trice as much battery as everything else added up, including screen.

Not sure about your overnight power loss - sounds a litle high...
I use my phone very little and usually only charge it every 4 or 5 days.
AOD uses more power than I like (I have seen 1% an hour mentioned and that is probably about right), so I switched that off.
Really annoyed that Samsung havent made an AOD setting that only enables the AOD on when there are notifications (Missed call, new messages). I would really find that useful.
Have searched all over but cant find any apps that will do this.

For those interested, here is what happened.
1) I have a DS model which were never available on a German market. Will Dual SIM work after I flash and will I get updates after I flash?
Basically, it is the same model and the same firmware. The "normal" firmware for a non-Dual-SIM market works perfectly with a DS model and gets updates via OTA.
2) The german version of (mono-SIM) firmware, which is available on Sammobile still has A520FXXU7CRH9 baseband. I have already updated to the -I9 one. Does that mean that I cannot revert back o the H9 and will have to wait until german phones get I9?
The main thing is that ninth digit ("7") because it represents the revision of the firmware. As long as it is the same, you can flash it. If not you will get a brick.
3) My phone came with a sticker "Middle Eastern and African SIM only". Both slots work with German (and some other) SIMs as of now. Will this setting revert back and it will be locked to those SIMs, if I change CSC?
It didn`t happen to me.
4) If I will apply the Combination CSC from Sammobile , will I get access to every region-locked option without tripping knox?
I did as follows.
I flashed the DBT firmware from SamMobile and got myself a british code because it is a standard one in this Multi-CSC.
Knox not tripped. But VoLTE and VoWiFi still not working
Then I found the Combination ROM (FACTORY BINARY) with the same revision as the firmware (See question 2 about the "7").
I flashed it, dialed some USSD code. Then menu appeared from which I could choose the product code.
I chose DBT, wiped the data and cache and voila, I had a DBT phone with working VoLTE and VoWiFi otb.
Knox not tripped 0x0 !
