[device country][noob]

Hey XDA!
I am very new here on XDA, only just registered!
I have a very bad problem (well for me!)
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100)
It has stock firmware and a custom kernel, Note2Core.
I can't seem to connect to my local carrier, the root of this problem is yet unknown!
Only thing I have so far is that in:
Settings > About Device, right at the bottom I there is United Arab Emirates and a TRA ID and a TA!
I do not know what this means but it looks like my phone is registered to be from the UAE! I personally bought it here in South-Africa and it worked fine. Until recently I was running CM10.1-Nightly but wanted the capability to overclock! I downloaded the stock firmware for my country, 4.1.2, and flashed it via odin. Please help as I am unable to register with WhatsApp or use some of my other features!
Thanks in advance,
Hitman7987

Welcome to XDA hope we would be able to help you
Could you tell me from where did you download the firmware ?
Can you verify if your device is showing the correct IMei number as labeled under your battery and *#06#

I downloaded the firmware from Sammobile.
I don't know if that's the correct firmware, but I am under the impression that I can download for any country actually?
Yes, I wrote down the IMEI number before all of my flashing! It is still the same.
Thanks for the welcome, I already feel like part of the family!

None really, just the fact that I can't connect to my local carrier. I have to put roaming on.

And this has nothing to do with your provider/sim card? Did you try another provider?

Hello, how i can see how much internal memory i have? 16gb, 32gb, etc... when i go to the apps there's only about 10gb but i think the minimum is 16gb so i'm confused.

Yes, They are unable to support me, since I used a custom rom beforehand. My local sevice providers are pretty useless anyway!

Hey Mars, (or is that your location?)
I believe the avail storage depends on your rom, kernel ,ect. I also only have about 9.6 GB avail in stock but about 12GB in CM10.1.
The missing storage is your device rom and/or system apps I think, might only be the system apps.

Chinese Rom to European

Hi all,
Sorry for obviously being a noob. I am from Western Europe but bought my HTC Desire 816 in China and of course, as expected, there are no Google apps on it and even when I install Google Play store manually it doesn't launch the app.
I am thinking about whether or not I can put a different rom on the phone, a European (Dutch) one, or how does that work ?
Can anyone give me some advise please
Thanks!

Now you have the European version too from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52995489. But this is a single sim version. If you or anyone happen to find the dual sim english version, that would be of very help for me as I have soft bricked it recently and unable to find the RUU for that.

Unfortunately you cannot do that. You have to wait for the proper dual sim English version like me.

I didn't mean the model number, but I meant the variant of the phone so that I may find a suitable stock android rom for it. I bought it in the UAE.

Here is a nice explanation how to interpret firmware version numbers.
x.xx.206.xx is O2 if I'm not mistaken.

Are you sure? I would have guessed it is O2 Germany.

Galaxy A70 Australian Firmware

Hi, I got an A70 a few months ago (through a provider) and there hasn't been a firmware update I can find for any Australian release.
It's also got a model number that I can't find info about anywhere - A705YN.. I was wondering what the best firmware to try flashing over this would be - Malaysian or Indian? New Zealand? Can anyone give me some info about what's different about the YN variant over say the FN?
Thanks heaps guys!

I don't know what my device is, aside from what it is saying - that it is an A705YN.
It's not dual SIM, has 128GB of onboard storage, has a Snapdragon 675. I don't know where to look to find out more about it
