So I have the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 wifi (sm-t210r). It is running 4.1.2. I noticed that there is a Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 LTE (sm-t215) available, which is running 4.2.2. Other than mine being wifi only, and the other supporting phone data, what is the difference between the two? What would happen if I downloaded the LTE's firmware and tried to flash it to my wifi tablet? If it were to brick it, would I be able to flash the official firmware back onto my wifi tablet and have it working again?
Don't do it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45469891&postcount=5
t215 & t217: 1.7 GHz Qualcomm snapdragon 400 processor, 1.5 GB RAM
t210 & t211: 1.2 GHz Marvell processor, 1 GB RAM
also, they have different partition layouts. the firmware from the t215 definitely won't work as-is on a t210r. it probably wouldn't be to hard for someone who has a t210 or t211 to port it, tho.
Well alrighty then. I'll just have to wait until either an officail 4.2/3/3 firmware comes out, or a modder comes out with a custom firmware for it then. Thanks for the informative replies guys.
So I just bought a tab s 10.5 t805 with lte.But to my surprise when I checked its cpu with cpuZ..It had a exynos 5 octa,not the snapdragon one and that has got me really worried...So I wanna ask that which ROMs i can flash on it?The t805(snapdragon) ones or the t800(exynos) ones...As a guy over internet told me that installing t805 roms will brick my tab since they are meant for the tabs with snapdragon.Are there any stock ROMs for this device at samfirmware?...Plz help me.thank u
Well there are no ROMs for snapdragon chipsets and not even a recovery. Most Lte models ship with exynos and some snapdragon ( depends on your region). Since you have a exynos octa, you can do a nandroid backup in case some goes wrong, and install iron ROM with twrp. So far iron has been getting updates and is very stable. Its compatible with the T800 and T805. I'm about to install it for my T800 as well in a couple of days lol. I'm pretty sure it won't brick anything because all the roms\ kernels we have are only for exynos octa. Hope this helps!

Well there is cfautoroot for the T805. Check the root thread for links to your device. I can't confirm if firmwares will work but as you will need to pick the T805 firmware from your country
Anybody have firsthand experience of flashing a P600 ROM on a P601 device?
In theory I'm thinking that this should work fine except for loosing the 3G data connection because both share the same hardware: minus the radio module on the P600.
Thanks.

Yes, you can install/flash p600 rom in p601 but losing celullar capability. If you explore android development section you will find alot of members here already flashed their p601 with p600 rom.

What about p605 ROMS on the p600?
EDIT:
Found out the answer is no due to different hardware.
What about the other way?
Can you flash P601 rom onto a P600?
Hi guys, i just switched my note 10.1 2014 edition with tab s t807
As usual immediately rooted my tab and try to flash a custom rom.
But now i have a problem,
samsung sends 3g tablets with a different serial number to turkey (where i live) than other countries, like my note tab was P602 when the other 3g notes was P605. But i was able to flash P605 custom roms to my tab.
Now i flashed a kitkat based t805 custom rom to my t807 but when i try to upgrade to lollipop i cannot flash T805 roms, altough t805 lollipop bootlader does not work too.
Now the question is do i have to wait to get a lollipop update to my t807 (which can take real long time) or is there a way to flash t805 lollipop rom.
Thanks for the answers...
You need the lollipop bootloader. Without it it's pointless to flash Any lollipop roms.
Ok i know i need lollipop bootloader but there is a question, international 3g version is called t805 but mine in Turkey is called T807, every spec is same but t805 bootloader does not work both on odin and twrp,
Should i wait for t807 bootloader or am i missing something

Unfortunately some of the carrier versions need a specific boot loader. So unless you try all the different t807 lollipop builds, you might get lucky, if not you may just have to wait.
Is your device rootable?

Hi,
SM-T807 is the 3G version while SM-T805 is the LTE version (or so called 4G. It is simply not an international 3G as you've mentioned). So their hardware is different. Both CPU / GPU and WAN modules are different and firmware is not interchangeable. As far as I know Samsung did not release Lollipop for T807 (3G). I doubt that the'll be releasing a Lollipop version anytime soon.
Cheers,
K.

Not sure where you are getting your information, but the hardware specs of the Exynos t807 are the same as the t805. The t807 is the carrier or region locked version. There are stock lollipop roms available for the t807. There may be slight differences in the modem hardware depending on region, but both can support LTE .
There is a snapdragon version which is what I think you are referring to, but again this can also support LTE and Lollipop is also available.

Hi, You're mostly right. They are both capable of using LTE DATA. This week I laid my hands over a T807 and unlike most marketing sites quote it has LTE functionality just as T805. But it seems that T805 also works as a GSM phone. T807 allows data only GSM access. So the difference is not about carrier locking. I am not sure if there's a hardware difference between the two at this point. But other treads on this site say T805 boot partion won't work for T807. So there should be some difference. Earlier Samsung tablets with GSM data only configurations could be upgraded to the GSM phone functionality. I've also come across with some news sites reporting that some carrier locked versions of T807 started to get the Lollipop update. I hope the regional ones would get this update soon.

The t807 has lte. Mine is with Tmobile. I read us carriers turn off the phone feature on tablets.

I'd be willing to bet one of the recent custom roms will flash and work on your device as long as you flash the correct bootloader.

Of course it will work but the thing is i cannot find the RIGHT bootloader for my t807.
On kitkat i use t805 iron rom but i need exact bootloader to upgrade any custom lollipop rom.
I will be more than glad to anyone who can find the right bootloader.
What do you mean the bootloader doesn't work, does it even install?

Thats the problem
No luck with this issue.... anyone ???
People happy new year.
Can you guys tell me whats the diference between t807 regular and t807p/t....
Awful quiet around here guess everyone bought the tab s6!
I noticed an update available this August 2019. Has anyone flashed their tab s4 with Odin? And then rooted once again? I'm using a t835n and plan to get the t835 international version. But I want to be sure I can root after.
Another question - on sammobile they have so many different country options for the t835 international model. What is the actual difference? I use my device in USA so what would be the best version to flash so that I have the most bands for my carrier (TMobile). Or does flashing firmware not have the effect I am thinking on bands?
Thanks!

That's a very good question.
Are you on Oreo or Pie?
My guess, based on the rooting guides I've been reading is the one for the country that you bought the device from. I think you are on the Korean version, so I would think that would be the ideal update to use on the device and then just use it in English.
As for the S6, I'm inclined to buy another (3rd) S4 because the lack of the headphone jack is intolerable for me.
I will ask in the Note 9 forum, but do you happen to know the international version of the Note 9 that is the equivalent of the Korean 6GB Tab S4? They dropped the headphone jack on that one too. I use it to get radio on my phone.
So I rooted the Korean 6GB versions that was factory shipped with the most recent and up to date Oreo firmware and it rooted just fine. I'm missing a few apps but I'm not sure why that is (weird like missing email, internet, calculator, some google crap...). I'm trying to figure out why, but I NEVER let it connect to the internet for any reason yet. I sideloaded some of the apps and it seems fine. I'm going to check with my other Tab S4 6GB that is on the original stock firmware from the beginning to see if those apps were ever there in the first place tonight and post in the TWRP thread.
Root is fine. So I think you will be fine with the most recent firmware for Oreo. I suggest getting the Korean (region specific) firmware for your specific device.

It took me a little googling but it did turn up. Sammobile site didn't fine it for me, I had to google to get it, even thought it was still the samobile site where I found it. I didn't download any successfully yet.
