Hello from a newbie & sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it anywhere for the 2014 edition.
I've bought a 32Gb LTE Note 10.1 2014 edition from Hong Kong and needless to say it comes with a heavily biased Chinese version of the operating system, now having read other fora, I have managed to understand how to flash the device using Odin, however I was after a UK (BTU) version of the rom, but what I have got is the Spanish one.
OK, I have no problem with it as I have changed all of the settings to use UK English, but I am looking for a way to change the CSC code to from PHE (Spanish) to BTU (UK) so that I can get any firmware updates for it.
The one thing I want to do is keep it as near to stock condition as possible, namely I don't want to root it (is that what it's called?).
Can someone please advise me how to do this please.
Thanks.
If you know how to flash the thing, just get a Spanish firmware from sammy mobile and flash it
I've also ordered a 605 from HK. I intend to flash this firmware.
I bought the P605 from Germany and it is unlocked but T Mobile branded. Can I flash the UK firmware ?
Thanks,
Halldor

@Ben81.
That despite it saying it's a BTU firmware isn't. It's the one I downloaded and is the Spanish one (PHE), I really do wish that those who provide these firmwares ensure that when they say it's from the UK it IS from the UK and when you do the flash it gives you the correct CSC code, when you plug it into Kies.
Thanks for the info. Will probably still flash that as it'll be better than the Chinese one!
EDIT: Installed it and can confirm it gives a PHE code.

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?
Hello,
First of all treat me as a noob, as I am kinda one
I have a Galaxy note II, which I changed the Kernell so it would assume the SD card as internal memory, sd card broke down.
I came out with a malfunctioning phone that doesn't boot.
Trying to solve it, I tried to flash the stock firmware and kernell, but it didn't work, probably I chose the wrong one.
Can somebody tell which one do I need to flash and where to find it?
Model: GT- N7100
I bought my phone in Spain and the network provider was vodafone, just in case you need to know it
If you need any other details just ask,
Ty in advance.

Hi All, I've got a Galaxy note Dual sim SM-N930FD
But it currently has a "three" branded firmware on it, I want to flash it with a generic firmware with no carrier branding.
I'm familiar with flashing but have no idea which firmware I need to use for this, I'm in the UK and the handsets CSC is H3G
thanks for any help
You can use the N930F firmware too.

So I can just flash it with UK XEU firmware for a SM-N930F??
Yes. I originally had the United Arab Emirates firmware and went to BTU, XEU now I'm on DTM. Or if you're more comfortable with this.

From my personal experience I've tried various different official stock roms from United Arab Emirates, Germany, UK, Panama, New Zealand, South Africa and Italy. I have not seen any differences in language selection apart from all of them not having English (Canada), and some of them still have the option to charge 80 percent in the second latest update!

Did you find any version which can charge upto 100%? I am using UAE version having 80% charge but recently when it was updated on 1st Nov this option was eliminated. I am looking for downgrade but unable to do that, do you know any solution?

I do but its an August firmware (N930FXXU1BPHA) that we cannot use anymore. I've tried flashing it over any September or later updated roms but always get an error on Odin. It's useless if you're on a September or later rom in other words lol. The only way to get back 100% is flash Hydra.

I am new to all this stuff, I also tried to flash older stock rom but got error message, what I got from this is if you find out the way to install older bootloader on your phone then you can flash older stock rom, so far I m looking for that but could not find any guide on this.

I think your modem software is more important to your local region. I had the original english FD version from Singapore and switched to the local F version where I currently live. And my internet speed just tripled. ?

It is part of the Vodafone firmware . You would have to flash unbranded firmware to remove the app . Is the phone network locked ?
If its doing no harm you can leave it there and just ignore it
The phone has no Simlock :
1 x Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus 5G SM-N976B 256GB Aura Glow without Simlock New OVP
Will i get all regular Updates from Samsung (like Android 10) or do i get the updates from Vodafone ?
I´m confused.
Thanks
In Germany there are a couple of branded Firmwares out which are provider based.
You own a vodafone Note10+ which means you get OTA (Over the Air) Updates from a Samsung based by the provider overworked Firmware (normaly monthly).
You have the possibillity to remove the app via ADB or you can unbrand it with a open UK Firmware Countrycode BTU (no provider stuff on it).
Your current countrycode should be VD2 (Vodafone Germany).
If you are able to read german there is one big forum in Germany for android devices, take a look at android-hilfe.
if there is no simlock on the device, its also not against a law to 'rebrand' it with an other firmware.
Before starting this take a closer look here or in other forums to inform you about flashing an Samsung Firmware with a tool called odin (for Windows).
you can download the newest firmwares on sites like sammobile.com.
But don't do it hastily until you've read your way into the matter!
This is my Firmware. Could I flash DBT or DTM without problems ?
The unbranded Firmware for Germany is DTM ?
1. Don,'t know if this will work without any problems, if you can read and understand German take a look on the Android Hilfe forum there is a thread discribing unbranding.
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...anding-auch-beim-note-10-moeglich.929549.html
2. Open Germany is DBT (which stands for debitel, now mobilcom debitel).
DTM is Deutsche Telekom which is also branded
On the other side, all this to only get rid of one app...
Have you tried to deactivate the app under settings - apps - three-point-menu (upper right corner) - show system apps.
Then Navigate to the app and tap on deactivate in app settings
since a couple of years branding (in Germany) is shrinked to one or two provider apps.
Also OTA Updates are nearly as fast as for the Open Germany DBT.
My last action in rebranding was on an Galaxy S7 so I can not say if debranding the Note10+ from VD2 to DBT works with out problems and afterwards fully access to OTA Updates.

Hello,
thanks for all this information.
I did get a Update for the phone already. It was the Securitypatch 1. November 2019.
I have a Deutsche Telekom Sim in the phone. It works without problems .
So i will get Android 10 sometime OTA with my Telekom Sim too ?
It´s not possible to stop and deactivate this App.
Thanks again for your help.
Sure you will get Android 10 also with this card, as soon it was released here in Germany for VD2

Hello,
i looked at Androidhilfe.de and followed the instructions at the thread https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...anding-auch-beim-note-10-moeglich.929549.html.
I used SamFirm to find a BTU Firmware (2019-10-30). I flashed it with Odin (normal CSC )
and got a clean phone.
Now my note 10 + 5g is debranded. No more Vodafone App. I´m on XEF/XEF/VOD now.
Today there was again a newer Verson of BTU Firmware (2019-11-13)
I flashed that with Odin3 3.13.3 using homeCSC .
My phone got updatet with no dataloss.
So my problem is solved
Thanks again for helping.:good:
Had a similar problem with my DTM (Telekom) branded Note10+.
Just flash the newest DBT FW with the home csc and you'll get the unbranded version without vodafone apps.
Also you'll get updates much faster.

Is there a DBT Firmware for the Note 10+ 5G
I didn´t find one yet.
I had to search a bit, but couldn't find an unbranded version for the german market.
Also it could be difficult to get 5G with a different country firmware because it's new, regulations and stuff.
But you could flash at leats the DTM firmware, so you'll get telekom preinstalled apps

I'm living in europe and I'm using S20 Ultra exynos variant, I'm planning to get S20 Ultra Korean variant to get the snapdragon 865 chip. But my questions are is it possible to debrand it? I read few articles that it has so many bloatwares, also is it possible to unlock BL and root it? My last concern is about the 5G, wonder if 5g work on my country with the Korean variant.
Thanks.
I'm owning a SM-G981N, carrier branded phone. Regarding bloatware, there are plenty of tutorials that can be found here to get rid of the majority of bloatware. The only way to be completely bloatware/carrier info free is to change CSC and flash the unlocked rom for your device. It seems possible to do with some third party software (samkey), but I haven't done so yet.
I have OCD when it comes to bloatware and or carrier info, I can't stand the fact that something is not original samsung. I have to say that after removing bloatware, except for the bootanimations, I really don't notice that I'm on a carrier branded phone anymore. If you dig deep enough, you will always find a handful of settings/options that shows you are on a carrier phone. Besides that, no problem at all.
I can't answer your questions regarding unlocking BL or rooting, but i assume in the near future this would be possible (if not already).
For 5G, you want to check your 5G provider's data protocol. If your phone supports it, then it should work no problem. Data for your phone can be found anywhere, example: http://phonedb.net/index.php?m=devi...ultra_5g_td-lte_kr_256gb__samsung_hubble_2_5g
Good luck!
That's possible my friend. I have successfully debranded over samkey from KTC (KorenTelecom) to KOO (OpenKorea) without loosing any of my data on my phone. I'm also from Europe!

Hi Mate,
After debranded, are you able to use Volte, wifi calling, 5G in Europe on the SD865 version.

No 5g here at the moment. I think you need your home csc to use voip and wifi calling there but I'm not sure!

Yesterday I succesfully changed my CSC using Samkey. I've already flashed the KOO firmware of the rom prior to changing the CSC, but according to Samkey support, the firmware for these korean phones is the same. This would mean only changing CSC should debrand your phone. I managed to change CSC without any loss of data, it simply reboots afterwards and it's fully debranded!

Yesterday I debranded my SM-G988N, different logo when booting and lots of Korean bloatwares. First I flashed it via Odin (KOO firmware) then after that I used SamKey to change CSC.. Credit needed is just 1. So now my phone is debranded already, back to Samsung logo when booting and no korean bloatwares.
New firmware available with camera improvements, may security patch and system stability improvements!

Could some one grab a screen shot of your NFC settings, please.
I noticed on a Korean tech YouTube video, they have an extra option in the nfc settings.
I think it's related to nfc door locks etc.
