First, thank you guys. Just bought a note 8 WiFi version GT-5110. It is a good device, loved it. I've been researching and reading all over the posts about rooting, install custom rom, firmware and etc... I guess the first thing to do is to root my note 8. So, before I root my device I want to know for sure I can return back to original unmodified stock. I found that I can use ODIN to flush official firmware. However, I checked samMobile for the firmware for my country which is Canada. But I couldn't find. I used toolkit to check my note 8 firmware. It is N5110XXBMC9 and the region is XAC. It is the oldest. Hate it, we are so close to the us but always treated differently, and very thing is more expensive.
Question:
1 Can I just flash US region firmware? Since I have the WiFi, it has nothing to do with the phone and carrier. Or, can someone tried to flush a different region firmware tell me what is the outcome.
2 If I flash an US firmware, will I still able to claim warranty in Canada(just in case).
3 Will Flushing firmware with ODIN increase flush count, even I flush with official stock?
4 Last question, after rooting, will note 8 achieve floating multiwindow like note 10. Or, we are still limited to have to window side by side, but with rooting, we can put more apps to choose.
I know you guys are busy, if anyone can help me or point a useful post for me I would be really appreciated.

I would also like to know the answer to this question as I have a New Zealand international model but the rom is old. Can I flash the UK version which is the most uptodate. (I have the wifi version).
Thanks
I decided to give it a try myself.
I flashed the latest BTU N5110XXBMF2 which worked a treat. I checked and this is what is displayed
Custom Binary Download = No
Current Binary = Samsung Official
System Status = Official
So it worked fine for me.

Hello. I am also having this issue, with a GT-N5110 from canada. May I ask the steps in which you flashed the firmware? Did you do it via Odin?

I just downloaded the firmware and used Odin. It didn't wipe the sdcard it just updated the apps. Its worked well ever since.
I have since updated to N5110XXCMK1 using the same method.

Thanks. I used the same method to flash 4.2.2 on my device. I am also now on xxcmk1.

flash counter
Hi guys! I was looking to know about this. And I got a few question:
1. I want to make sure about the flash counter. If I change to XXCMK1 my rom, the flash counter goes to 1, or would be like the note 8.0 came with that stock room (nothing change in the counter)?
2. It is a little off of the main question but I will ask anyway: have you tried to add icloud email to the native email manager in the XXCMK1 rom? (Asking just in case you did it, since I read that rom is the one that doesnt have problem to set up in the native email manager?
Thank you guys (literally). I will appreciate your answers.

1. My flash counter did not change when I flashed 4.2.2 using Odin.
But it did when I used auto cf root afterwards to root the phone.
2. Nope I haven't tried.

I had an issue where I (think) I soft-bricked my device, as I could not get it to boot up, it would get stuck on the "samsung" logo and then display a black screen and go no further. My device is Canadian as well, and was running stock Canadian firmware, but I had rooted it before hand and was attempting to flash firmware from another country.
Well, I ended up downloading the US firmware for 4.2.2 from another thread here on XDA and flashed that in a last attempt to fix it, and it worked! But now I'm running US firmware. Since the KitKat update is now available in Canada, I'm downloading that as we speak and am going to flash it when it's done.

Update: flashing went great, just had to remove the .md5 at the end of the ROM file. Everything seems to be in order.
Could anyone shed a little light on this subject for me. I bought my N2 N7100 online about a few months ago, I'm in the US. Took screen shots of all the settings before I decided to root/flash anything. I decided to go back to factory, everything is fine.
My question is; from what I had gathered from the info about my phone was that the factory build was from Argentina looking at the numbers. So when I flashed it, there was a ton of Spanish apps and stuff on it. When I originally got the phone it wasn't like that at all, it even has a Spanish boot animation. I'd like to go back to the build that should be on in the first place. My phone was made in Vietnam, and I have a picture of the phone settings before I did anything. If anyone could let me know the proper build I would appreciate it, or suggest a better one. I'm using this phone in the United States. Thanks
At kies you can put the serial number and download the latest version of the firmware which was your phone when you bought it.
Look this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WaAMwMk1i0
but better don't trust kies for flashing see the exact firmware version csc etc from the firmware that kies downloaded at kies download folder and download the firmware from sammobile and flash it via odin

I cannot update my phone to 4.4.4 (it's on 4.4.2)
My model is 4.4.2.
So the thing is:
I tried to update and it failed,
tried again and again for 2 months and I still can't.
Today I've installed Samsung Kies 3 and it failed to update.
I live in Israel and I don't think it matters.
It is T Mobile's phone and they aren't working in israel all tough I can call and SMS and use my 3G.
I don't want to flash and I am unrooted (I had root) and I have 3.5GB of memory.
Device Information:
Android Version: 4.4.2
Model Number: GSH-M919
Firmware Number/Build Number: M919UVUFNB4
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-540242
I got my phone from T Mobile
My carier is: Golen Telecom (again, I'm from Israel, this is an Israeli company.)
Thanks for helping!
You need to provide much more information like exact model number, exact firmware version that's running on phone now, what carrier your using and also your shoe size.
In order to get the best help you need you must provide better info.
You may be trying to install the wrong update.

Refer to YouTube on how to flash firmware tmobile S4, there are many videos on this subject, just make sure it's tmobile, not Att or Verizon.
You should have no issues.

Download this free app from the Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
Then, take screen shots of the General, Firmware and Android screens. (You can take screenshots by holding down the Power and Home at the same time until you hear the camera sound).
Then, post those screens.
This will tell us what you have.
My guess is that the T-Mobile OTA updates may not work for phones outside of the US, but I could be wrong.
You may have to flash the phone using ODIN if you have a Windows PC. There are lots of threads on flashing the Stock Roms.
You can download the firmware from either Sammobile.com or this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508

Its not a rom it's a firmware, official from Samsung, which is exactly what an update does. Other than an OTA, it is the only way to update your device
Hey everyone.
I'm running on completely Stock 5.1.1 OK1 on my Note 4 and just recieved the official MM OTA update last night. Due to my phone having a lot of junk and being laggy I decided to flash the official firmware from any external method to have a clean install of the os. I heard about Samsung Kies which makes a back up of your phone and installs the latest os, I installed and backed up my phone last night but it didn't seem to give me an update on the os, it said "This is the latest version" (5.1.1 COK1).
My main concern about this is. I've bought this phone from Pakistan (used phone but in brand new condition) and I'm currently living in Malaysia and I have no idea who was the previous owner of this phone. In Kies it shows the phone number different than what I have (maybe its the Sprint phone number?).
What if my carrier is locked by having a clean install? Or any sort of other related issue occurs.
Please take some time to enlighten the facts from your knowledge, will highly appreciate it.
Regards.
waiting for official release bro. If rom is released on sammobile, see the icon kies highlighted on the right.

Yeah but you totally missed my question here.
Its not that I don't want to do some research myself, I'm a student and I'm busy most of the time. So if anyone can take out their precious time to answer my question I'd really appreciate the help.
If you're concerned about your phone or sim getting lock..you can just use galaxy tools apk v3.1.5 & then upgrade the apk to v3.1.8 & it will unlocked it for you... but i doubt it will lock you down... maybe you can just try to back your rom completely & restore if any issues encounter
it's dependent on the way that they unlocked the phone, someone in vietnam has been locked after updated the phone, but my phone was not.

And I have no idea how my phone was unlocked, I just bought it like this. I can see the Sprint phone number on Samsung Kies maybe I should write an email to Sprint asking them to unlock it using that Sprint phone number?
I’m sorry if my English is not perfect since I’m from Malaysia and this is my first posting in XDA Forum. And I’m not sure if this is the right forum to post my questions to.
So recently I’ve bought a new Note 4, knowing that the international variant can be rooted easily. Having successfully rooted a few Samsung phones in recent years, I thought that the root method for Note 4 is more or less about the same (either through ODIN flashing, Kingroot, Towelroot etc). After some frustrating attempts, it seemed that I couldn’t get the phone rooted. I managed to get some sort of root using Kingoroot (verified by root checker, and Titanium Backup) but I couldn’t update the SU binaries.
Here are some phone details from the About Device info:
Model Number
SM-N910F
Android Version
5.0.1
Baseband Version
N910FXXU1BOC4
Kernel Version
3.10.40-4160876
Build Number
DONGCHAO.A916
However, from the Phone Info app, I got this detail:
Product Code:
SM-N910AZKECHN
CSC Country:
USA / US
Bootloader Version:
N910AUCU2COC6
PDA Version:
N910AUCU1COC4
CSC Version:
N910AATT1COC4
Baseband Version:
N910AUCU2COC6
Kernel Version
3.10.40-4160876
I’ve tried booting the phone in bootloader, and it says that the product name as SM-910A.
1. Does this mean that the actual phone model is SM-N910A with a European firmware SM-N910F installed?
2. If it is a yes, how is it possible that other firmware version can be installed on the AT&T variant? I was under the impression that any firmware must be signed by AT&T before it can be installed on the said model.
3. I’m quite concerned with the build number DONGCHAO.A916. I’ve tried to get more info about it but none can be found. Anyone know for which market is this firmware meant for?
4. Do I need to use only the firmware updates from AT&T in the future?
I have so many questions running in head right now but I’m afraid to tinker with the phone any further for fear of bricking it. I’ve never seen the AT&T stock firmware before so I don’t know how my phone might function with the stock rom in Malaysia.
Hope someone can shed a light on this. If it is indeed the SM-910A variant (which is weird since it is sold in the Asian market), I might be stuck with the locked bootloader with no rooting method as of now.
First thing you need is to know what you really have...
Download this and report back what you find

That is exactly the app I used to check the phone info as posted above (the second part of the info, not the one from About Device).
I believe I cannot post the screenshot since my total post counts is less than 10. But please tell me what other info should I report here from the app
Apparently I was mistaken about posting the image file. Please refer to the attached screenshot for the info of my phone, including the info from the rom's About Device
Looks to me like you have an ATT Phone... Perhaps someone rooted the phone and edited the information to make it look like you have the international variant?

This shouldn't be possible since the only root obtained on the ATT variant was temp root. If the information was edited (build.prop), wouldn't it revert back to stock upon a reboot?
Also, speaking of reboot, shouldn't the phone not say that it's rooted since a reboot would unroot it?

That's the thing. I've actually thought of that but with all the standard Samsung built quality on this phone, I can't even tell. And I bought it at legit retailer with the Samsung warranty. Aside from the physical inspection, is there any way to test it through an app or something?
Here's the thing... EVERYTHING in the Samsung INFO app shows you have an ATT phone (See below)... The ONLY thing that is different is your Device "About" screen.
Something's fishy.
Model: n910A = ATT Model
Type= trlteatt = TR LTE AT&T
Bootloader = 910A = ATT
PDA = 910A = ATT
CSC = 910A = ATT
Baseband = 910A = ATT

It appears that it is possible to flash a different system.img file - to make it look like a N910F...
But in reality you have a N910A - ATT
If this upsets you, bring it back to the "genuine" samsung dealer and show him the Samsung INFO app and demand your money back...
You probably will not be able to get Marshmallow updates, except through ODIN...

I agree with you, with warranty he should return it and get his money back or a new phone.
I'm just curious here. OP, what country do you live in? In the US, that legitimate retailer would have to give you a refund.

Thanks for pointing out the other thread to me. I guess I have to wait until end of month to revisit the retailer which is considerably far from my place of work. I don't actually mind having the ATT variant if it could be rooted though. I believe it is the only Note 4 variant that cannot be rooted, isn't it?

As far as I know, the only root on this phone has only been temporarily root...
Sorry you got something different than what you paid for. I lived in Asia 12 years and occasionally dealt with this myself.
Some have tried to go back to earlier versions (4.4.x) but get stuck in boot loops, or soft brick. I don't think there is any way to root. Some threads to examine:

Hi All,
I am using Note 4 (SM-N910A) which I purchased in United States, Originally this phone was locked on AT&T Carrier so I had to unlock it to use in India. It still running on 4.4.4 (KitKat) and there is no OTA update as well. I want to update my phone's firmware version to 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) by SM-N910G's firmware (N910GDTU1DPD4_N910GODD1DPB5_N910GDDU1DPB4) but while doing so Odin is throwing error "Secure Check Fail: Aboot" (if I use latest Odin 3.11, in next line it says "eMMC write fail: ABOOT")
I was searching for the solution, and I stumble upon this thread. If someone knows how to achieve this (may be by reverse engineering) it would be AWESOME...
(Kindly let me know if you need more info)
Hope to get a positive reply

If you have the SM-N910A phone you cannot put any other firmware on it except the official one. As of this time there is no MM but you can install 5.1.1 using Odin. There is a form that has the files and instructions to do so. When MM is released you will need to wait a little longer for someone to get the firmware files so that you can flash them with Odin.
There must be something ...

Thanks for the prompt reply Maluk , But I believe in this post was create by kentangz, as he has N910A with N910F firmware .... my phone is already 18 months old and it has no warranty left... so I just want to install MM even if it trip Knox counter.

Thanks for the prompt reply Maluk , But I believe in this post was create by kentangz, as he has N910A with N910F firmware .... my phone is already 18 months old and it has no warranty left... so I just want to install MM even if it trip Knox counter.

This isn't a stupid question but it is asked often.
The N910A has a locked bootloader. Which means unless its an official AT&T firmware, you wont be able to flash anything else. Even if the Note 4 had a permanent root (which it doesn't) you would only be able to flash modified versions of the AT&T firmware. There really is nothing you can do except wait like the rest of us for AT&T to release the firmware of MM. If you do live in India then you could sell your phone and buy the international note 4 version which has an unlocked bootloader and root.
This thread is possibly about how Kentangz might have flashed something to make his phone think its the N910F phone but its still N910A AT&T locked bootloader.
Hi Kentangz,
i had exact situation and experience.. i just bought Note 4 recently, and the inFO under about is not tally with the Phone Info .. and even the sticker on back (back)
the sticker on back (battery removed) showing N910F, but all the bootloader, system pointing i using ATT version
i going to "talk" the that "genuine" guys, He has confimed that is devices from MYS itself, and original
how your phone now, do you sell it or ?
