Hello everyone. I hope some of you can really help me . I bought this model phone UNLOCKED and it works great with any SIM . The problem is updates. Not being in the US territory do not get it OTA updates via Smart Switch ( really strange thing ) . BUILD are still the old , the first relase . Sorry for the English difficult to understand . I really hope someone can help me . Is there a way to install it manually by Odin ?. Also it can be made available for downlaod the latest update ?. Thank you in advance.
try downloading samsung kies in your computer, i believe you can update there manually even you're outside of the united states, only IF at&t pushes an official update, this device is different from international galaxy note 5 which is always getting the update first before this AT&T version,
but correct me if im wrong. the latest update version of at&t is 5.1.1 Baseband N920AUCU2AOI6

Hello , sorry to say just now . However it is the latest version that you wrote but I'm still the first. Smart Switch does not detect any updates to this day ; I do not know if you can flash via Odin but this relase is not yet available for downlaod .
I got an Note 5 64 gb AT&T, I live in Mexico City and I had the same issue, I solved it activating the SIM included via Internet, I putted into the phone and voila! I was be able to do the update via WiFi. Hope that helped you!

Hello , thanks for the reply . I think you 've succeeded because you're in the US territory ; Europe could never engage the AT & T server .
Have you tried? I was in Mexico when did that, through Telcel roaming, not AT&T I found a tutorial to activate the SIM through AT&T portal, you should try it, maybe it'll work

What version Android are you running? Depending on what, you can use an easy way to root your device.

Its the SIM unlock I'm having biggest problems with. Its running 4.1.2 but the method on here *#1973 etc doesn't seem to work. I managed to get it rooted. Put CWM touch on and downgraded the ROM as it said but still can't unlock it.
Thanks.
Did you talk with your current mobile operator? Usually you can get the unlock code from your provider. If not let me know

Ahh now heres the problem
I can't phone them as the phone won't work
catch 22 again.
I can't get 4.1.1 (stock or Cooked) as its all hotfile links and all are dead.
Try first this: (downgrading BTW doesn't help here a quote from CyanogenMod:
CyanogenMod, however, does not "unlock" the device. Most carriers "lock" their handsets to prevent customers from buying a handset and moving to a different carrier. Carriers depend on these "exclusivity" agreements to bolster revenue. For example: if you buy an iPhone in the US, you are stuck with AT&T or Verizon, whichever you bought from. To use the handset on another carrier's network it would be necessary to "unlock" the handset. This is done with a code based on the IMEI of the handset that can be provided by your carrier or firms on the internet that are slightly more reliable than a Nigerian Prince.
Unlocking cannot be done by installing CyanogenMod, or any other firmware for that matter.

Yes I understand that
The instructions to SIM unlock are
Downgrade to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 and use a *~ code to access the network lock menu. But it seems 'some' 4.1.2 don't give full access to the menu.
4.1.1 does, but I can't find it anywhere , hotfile problem
I'm not trying to SIM unlock with the firmware but trying to find a firmware that allows SIM unlocking though the dev menu.
I should imagine thats what the input code option when it boots does.
Look at this site.

Mmm could I use a 4.1.1 ROM from another country other than UK just to SIM unlock then update to a nice cooked 4.3 after?

Again though no 4.1.1
Forget that, top link is all hotfiles again
Samsung has a "Region-Lock" some custom ROMs remove this lock, so I think you must use a UK version. Else it won't work!
[…] For example, a SIM-free Galaxy Note 3 is purchased in Europe, the first SIM card inserted in the device must be from a carrier that operates in the particular region. It doesn’t matter if the carrier doesn’t operate in the particular country where the device is bought from, it just need to operate in one of the countries in the entire region. […] Those who end up with a region locked device in a different region and can’t use a SIM to deactivate region lock, they can go to a Samsung care center and get it deactivated, it is not known if there are any costs associated with this or if it would have to be proved where the device has been purchased from.

Yes I'm think this as well.
Can't find a UK 4.1.1 anywhere now.
What operator do you have? Orange or another?
XDA developer App. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100. Using CyanogenMod 10.2.
The SIM is Tesco/O2
The phone wasn't branded so no idea on that. I'm now waiting the 1 hour to download the UK Vodafone 4.1.2 rom to see if that might help as I have no idea what the one on there now is based on.
You should for the best go to the store and have it unlocked.

Yer its £20 though and between trying to sort this out and keeping tabs on Dad in hospital , also defeats the idea of the forum is everyone just went to shops
Well that all went a bit Pete Tong
Trying to recover through Keis now after the 'accident' Dam these phones
Try with the app Galaxsim Unlock from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock
I had your same issue on a Note2 from 3 UK: when I went to Italy I wasn't able to use italian SIM cards on it.
The software says 4.1.1 is required but my phone came out with 4.1.2 and it worked fine for me.
I've found a working UK 4.1.1 ROM. Probably that last working one in the world
I'm going to see how I go about downgrading the ROM now. If I put CWM touch on and can I do it through that. I'm not sure if you can downgrade with a higher recovery system.
I'm trying to help a friend with his N7105 and I am lost.
He has been rooted running custom roms for a long time so that he could get group messaging. Now that the Hangouts app is available for download I'm trying to get him back to stock unrooted and he can do his own thing from here out. In doing so I realized that 4.3 was released for his model. I have looked for FW files on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ for the right file, but don't see anything for the US or AT&T. But, there are sites all over saying it was released in a roll-out back in December like Android Police.
I've read from the forums on sammobile that you can flash another countries firmware package, but then you'll only get OTAs from that country. Also, if the package you use is carrier specific you'll have to unlock to phone again. Is there no AT&T US package available? If not, what are my best options?
Any help?
Don't know if this helps or not

The US ATT version of the Note II is the SGH-I317, does your friend have an ATT branded phone or an imported N7105?. Sawdoctor's link will work if it is an I317. Flashing a rom from a different country won't SIM lock the phone, but will install the default apps from whatever phone company's build is used. I have an N7105, live in Belgium but use the German TMobile build on my phone, I had no issues going from CM11 back to 4.3 (I actually did this on Tuesday).

That's the hard part. The phone is branded as AT&T and the sticker under the battery says SGH-I317 but if you boot it into bootloader it says it's a N7105. He bought the phone used from a local classifieds site to use with AT&T, he broke his screen after a few months and sent it into Samsung to repair it. I'm not sure if he was returned the same phone he sent if or if they just sent out a phone a different phone. Not sure if it's a N7105 that was imported (or in this case, refurbed and sent to him).
Hi,
I wonder if my Note 2 will be offered a taste of 4.4.2 KitKat? My phone had been stuck on 4.1.2 for ages. Could someone please advice? Many thanks!:crying:

Have you tried searching sammobile.com for the latest firmware in your area?
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?

JeffreyCoffman45 pretty much nailed it. You can't do that without root, and even if you had root, you probably wouldn't want to do that anyways. What you can do is unlock your phone and it should work in India with a different sim from a local network.

You could try with LG pc suite. You probably don't get the OTA cause you're not using the AT&T lines.
Even the PC suite is saying no update found. How do I update to lollipop
