I can't seem to find the right rom. I find all these pages but USA isn't one of the roms on the list, what do I choose?
I sold my note on eBay and received it back after a "not as described" case and it looks like somebody attempted to put a different rom on it and failed. It just boots to the logo (Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-5110)
I would just like to get it back to what I originally had it as (whatever the latest OTA update was as of last month).
I appreciate it guys.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and to the wonderful world of rooting, custom roms and such so bare with me if I ask something stupid.Okay well the title basically says it all, I have 2 Samsung Galaxy note II phones which my dad bought from china. When we turned then on the OS was completely in Chinese so without even thinking about it I downloaded the official firmware for our region and started flashing it onto 1 of the phones just like I did when we received a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet. But now something was different, Odin claims that the flashing failed. So I did a little further googling a found out that the Chinese note II had a custom bootloader preventing me from installing firmware from a different region (link to source below). I really don't know what to do further from this point I restored to the Chinese firmware just so that the phone would still work, but it suck not having gmail and that kind of thing so if anybody know of a way to bypass this custom boot loader or some other solution I could try it would really be appreciated!

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

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

Hi
I recently bought a Tab S 8.4, the 16GB variant with WiFi only (T700). I have come to realise that this is an imported model from Hong Kong. It has a "Samsung Chinese IME" input method that I cannot deselect, which I believe may be interfering with External Keyboard Helper Pro when I try to use a UK layout Bluetooth keyboard.
My questions are these, can I flash it with the latest available UK firmware? If I were to do so, would it eliminate that annoying "Samsung Chinese IME" input method? Finally, would having the UK firmware, cause any future OTA downloads to be UK ones too, or would I have to manually update it myself?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
You could download and flash the latest UK firmware here. It should eliminate the Chinese IME (or you could just root and freeze/uninstall it)

Not sure, but given that the UK hasn't had a OTA firmware update for nearly five months now (last release was on 30th June) I don't think it will be a major problem. You can just reflash any new versions using ODIN.
Flashed!!!
I have done the deed. I've flashed my Tab-S 8.4 with the latest UK firmware using Odin.
Because the tablet was new and I didn't really have anything on it that I couldn't reconfigure from scratch, I didn't bother with a Nandroid backup or anything. NOTE to anyone reading this: Skipping backing up is NOT something you should do. I had a good reason to do so. That said, I'd also downloaded a copy of the Hong Kong firmware I already had on the tablet, so that I had it on hand, just in case.
I expected to have to reconfigure the tablet from scratch, but this has proven to not be the case. It's remembered all my apps and settings and accounts and things. So all in all it's gone very smoothly.
The "Samsung Chinese IME" input method is now history. Now I have to go check out whether that has cured my problem with EKH Pro.
I also installed Kies3 to see what it would make of my firmware configuration, and to see if it would try suggesting that I should go back to the Hong Kong one. It didn't. It said my current UK firmware was the latest available. Of course, this isn't a concrete indication that I will get OTA updates of UK firmware in the future by any stretch of the imagination. That will only be proved once the next update comes down from Samsung. Needless to say I won't be letting it update itself until I've made sure it's a UK firmware.
Thanks for your help.
Reflashing my firmware to get rid of the "Samsung Chinese IME" input method has not helped me get EKH Pro working. I am, however, still happy that I'm on the right firmware for my country.
I now have another line of enquiry about EKH Pro, and I think this time it is correct one for the problem I'm having. But I won't go into it here.
Firmware on ATT SM-T707A
Hey guys, just picked up an ATT Tab S 8.4. Loved my bronze 8.4" and thought having LTE would be cool. I was wondering if it's possible to flash an official stock firmware for the T705 to remove the ATT bloat and enable the dialer. I recall doing this on the original Galaxy Tabs with UK firmware but cannot find much info on the S. Thanks in advance for the assistance.
Hello,
So I have the 4.4.2 Galaxy Note sgh-i467, it is stuck in the recovery mode,
I've been trying for some time already to contact Samsung to have some help with the device no luck, they ask me to go to USA or ship it to them for the fix. I have tried a few methods I found here on the forums but no luck with them also, maybe I missed something, basically my question is : was someone able to recover from 4.4.2 to a working tablet ?

I had the same problem and tried Kies and Odin as nothing else seemed apparent. Kies 2.6 would download the 4.4.2 update and show almost finished on the green bar indicator in download mode then Kies would freeze up on my Windows 7 computer and I'd have to end task on it and restart the tablet. There doesn't seem to be a KitKat ROM on sammobile or anywhere else I could find. I did find a thread in the development forum that I've since lost where a senior XDA developer had indicated he'd put in a request with Samsung's executive level of support to get a copy of the 4.4.2 ROM. I tried using Odin to flash the JellyBean image from sammobile, but that's what had caused my table to get stuck in recovery mode in the first place, so it didn't work. I've flashed plenty of ROMs on my GS4, so I'm no stranger to Odin but you seemingly can't go back to JB from KK thanks to the locked bootloader that comes along with it.
I was lucky in that I'm in the U.S. and could bring the Note 8 to my local Best Buy's Samsung Experience kiosk. After my fourth visit to the third Best Buy, I finally found a guy who reloaded the Note 8.0 with the 4.4.2 ROM. It's back up and running now with the stock 4.4.2 ROM.
Charcaroth I wish I could hit that thanks button a hundred times. The Samsung Experience Center @ Best Buy fixed my Note 8.0 that was hopeless just as you said.
Thanks for going above & beyond with your help via private message!
Hi All,
I recently got a note 8.0 tab and updated the firmware thru about device. Now, I'd like to try to root it, but it seems I need to revert back to original kitkat version. I know how to do that, I just dont know how to find the original version.
I went to sammobile to d/l it, but dont see the right 4.4.2 version. I have
N5110XAR2CQB1
Its a USA tab.
I did d/l Phone Info - thats how I got the above PDA/CSC Code.
HELP!!!
THX!
