best (and fastest) way is with kies simulating an emergency recovery. It downloads directly on your pc. you have only to discover the temp file in the internet download directory unzip and voilà.

Hi:
I was intrigued with your comment, Can you explain how you do that? I have limited exposure to KIES and when I tried to do an emergency recovery to get stock my device did not show up in the window. There was a prompt for a recovery code. I have no idea what that is about or where I would retrieve such a code. Thanks!

shortly:
kies3 -> connect the device (the drivers will be installed) -> select "tools/firmware upgrade and initialization" -> click yes and accept to everything ; skip backup -> some components will be downloaded and installed on PC (the device will not be affected) . At this point the appropriate firmware start to download in a temporary folder. Discover this folder via an appropriate tool ( like procmon from sysinternals.com filtering the sm-p605.exe process - in my case C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp3C06.tmp). when the download is finished this file is renamed from .tmp to .zip and inside it you will find the firmware (.tar.md5). Hope it helps

Thanks. Worked as advertised.

What is the difference between the note 10.1 2014 November and December 4.3 firmware on Samfirmware, one is from Taiwan and one is from Afghanistan. You think there are any lag fixes in those builds? Seems weird they don't have a December build for us...

I bought the phone in China on TaoBao (Chinese EBAY) and it was made for Poland. It came with an unlocked 2.3.6 which from the beginning did not see my sim card. I flashed all the way up to cm11 and all worked great except the modem which never saw my sim card. I went back to stock European 2.3.6 two times and built it back up including trying to flash a modem or two. Still no sim.
I then found the official Chinese (has english too) 4.1.2 and flashed that with ODIN. All is working great but still no network. THEREFORE I am guessing that when this thing was built for Poland it had a special modem (hardware) that only works there?
Now I am downloading all the 4.1.2 firmwares built for Poland in the hope that one of them can drive whatever modem is in this thing.
Heading to bed now (UTC +8) and will report back in the morning.

You have a Hong Kong Ace 2. You need to install Gingerbread with baseband ZS. And there is no JB update for the HK model

I think you are right. I tried all of the above and nothing worked. It is sent back. What is the best baseband to ask for? I think that XX is well supported.

Best BaseBand Version
Can you tell me what baseband version I should try to buy?
I want to install KitKat on the ACE 2 and I know that the Hong Kong version will not work.

Or you could try custom roms from the development area. ^.^

Flash indian firmware. They are the first to get updates.
And when updating from 4.1.2 to 4.3 or 4.4.2 you should make a factory reset in recovery because they change storage location.
For best result after a flash i recommend you make a backup of your internal memory and flash the Indian firmware then make a factory reset.

Hi,
I have some doubts:
1) I still remember I saw some post stating that after flashing a stock rom, factory reset will change the CSC?
2 Is Chinese language available on India firmware?
Many thanks!

Do you have a backup of your EFS folder and Modem? Flashing a backup will bring back the IMEI.

Exactly what rom was it on before? stock or custom...and exact base version : ex: 4.4.2 N7100ZSUFNL1 .... so we know which android version and baseband/bootloader NL1.
And what country are you in? ...to make sure you are flashing the right stock rom for your phone.

it was stock original ROM, Version don't know. he flashed once before with stock rom. i am from kuwait. and i don't know which is our default ROM, Saudi or UAE?

hmmmm well it's a little problematic not knowing which ROM version... because if you flash the wrong one, you will add to the problem.
Can you get Phone info installed (not sure if you can use wifi -- in most cases wifi can still work)... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
if not from playstore, then you can probably find an apk somewhere to load from pc.
I believe you are UAE... but there are 2 versions. LYS and XSG (I don't know which you should try)... maybe LYS - but would be better if you can get Phone info to see more details.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N7100/LYS/
***You should flash the latest (newest version) 4.4.2 ... because if you try older one and the one you have now is newer, that's a nice bricked phone. Good luck!

This One Is Easy...
Go to Sammobile.com and download your "Original / Current" Firmware and the Firmware you want to try.
Use Odin of Course to make the change.
If the New Firmware and Reset ( By You ) APN's don't work.... you have your "Original / Current" Firmware to flash back to using Odin.
If you do try this... You'll have 4 Parts to the ziped download.. stick each extracted file in it's designated spot within Odin and your off... :good:
Good Luck.
