oem unlock issue - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone !
I plane to buy a galaxy tab s4 lte (4g), i want to know if the note 8 oem issue (oem option disappear for 7 days when flashing custom binaries...twrp or magisk) affect the galaxy tab s4 too or not.
I ve ordered one from amazon.fr and when it arrived, i ve discovered that it was a spanish version (phe/phe/...). I returned it and amazon refund me.
I can take it on french samsung shop ( xef/xef...) but i dislike the samsung after sales and prefer amazon.
So...to resume, i have 3 questions :
1) is the galaxy tab s4 lte is affected by the oem issue if we flash twrp and magisk (region lock)?
2) if yes, is the oem issue fix for note 8 will work to make the oem option appear again?
3)is it possible to have xef/xef/xef when the original is phe/phe/phe? I think yes because on my first note 8 i managed to but the oem issue were alwayse there.
Thanks for your help.:good:

I have xef version. Bought in france. Today installed 9 pie and twrp.
Oem unlock is still here. Even had this situation

but reflashed stock again and twrp is working fine now.

Thank you for your help.
I have a note 8 dual sim french version (i m in france) and have no issue while flashing twrp or magisk.
I m a little disappointes when i see that the rmm state is prenormal while the oem option is still here.
Do u live in france?
Otherwise, my issue is solved because today i ve received the tab s4 and it s a french version (xef/xef/).

Hi ,
Don't flash this ROM for Indonesia version of Note 2.
The boot loader for China Note 2 is different from International ones.
There are strong reasons, that you may brick your phone. Thanks
Hi there,
Sorry to resurrect a month old thread. I just wanted to chuck my findings at this as I have recently received a GT-N7100 CHN N7100ZCUEMK3 Galaxy Note 2 as a birthday present from my wife. And if anybody could recommend any suggestions that would be great!
As I now live in the UK as opposed to China I was getting frustrated that I couldn't use Google Play and the default search engine is Baidu and can't be changed to Google, so i've been trying for the past few days to flash it but it just won't work.
I've been downloading only the official stock roms for the international N7100 and so far i've tried 10 versions from various regions (Europe, UK, India, US) and none of them work. Some fail the moment you hit start on Odin, others will go through the entire process and fail at the end - thus soft bricking my mobile.
Luckily I have been able to use Kies to restore it - which I've installed on the laptop as opposed to my PC which is doing the flashing - but this just puts it back to Chinese mode.
I should also note that the China version is Knox enabled - mine is now burned so anybody else trying this really ought to be careful.

Sorry to resurrect so old thread, but I have an exact same phone with that firmware from China, and wanted to put either the international version or cyanogenmod on it. So did you ever get anything besides China roms installed?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T217S

Hi everyone. Maybe someone could help me with my problem.
I live in Germany and purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T217S on ebay.com in the US.
The thing is, that this Tablet has a simlock which allows only to use SRPINT Simcards.
I would like to use it with my local German O2 Simcard.
Is there a way how to unlock the tablet? I have already checked the software which is provided on the website unlockclient.co but it doesn't support this device.
I would be so thankfull if someone could help me with that.
Thanks a lot in advance!
even if you unlock it, the t217s doesn't do gsm. you could try flashing the t217a or t215 firmware and then doing whatever you would do to unlock that tablet... of that doesn't work you're probably out of luck.

[Q]RegionLock on S4 Mini

Did anyone of u update to the new firmware > MK*+ from november or new KitKat and got his phone locked by RegionLock ?
This mostly happened when u got a phone from a different region and u use it in other region. For example u buy phone in India and u use it in europe
Thanks
I appreciate the information. I was about to launch KK Russia in my gt-i9192.
Thank you:
Nope....
I am from India and my I9195 is not officially sold here. My schoolmate bought this device 5 months back from UK or Dubai.(Not sure where) It had UK unbranded JellyBean firmware and then I immediately updated it to brazil jb and I never had network issues.
Even with kitkat firmwares I did not face network issues. Do you mean RegionLock results in unidentified networks in other regions? If so then my s4 mini is not locked.
Well RegionLock is official on Note 3 and S5 . Thought our phone will get it too with an update. I am glad it did not

My friend ordered chinese instead of global -.-

So my friend said he wanted a redmi note 5 pro so i said its a great phone however not thinking he would order 1 in an instant 3 days later i told him dont forget to buy the global version but it was already to late the phone was on shipped so im getting his login details to contact the seller to see if its not to late to cancel but i have a few questions.
So i know the only difference is the frequency bands but that shouldnt be an issue i live in holland and here the operators use 3 and 7 and some operators use 3 , 7 and 20 so with some operators he would only miss band 20 so that wouldnt be a huge problem.
But the phone has chinese firmware no multilanguage and nno google playstore or at least it says so in the description do i need a custom rom or could i flash miui global rom and gapps without the need of a custom rom because my friend is not very techie and i think for him it would be best to keep on to a original rom. (he doesnt know what a rom is).
Thanks in advance.

Just help your friend and unlock the bootloader. Flash the global rom afterwards and it will be fine.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...dmi-note-5-china-ai-to-leaked-global-t3782175
I have the chinese version and I live in the EU too. There is a way to install play store and google play services on the chinese rom. Here is a very nice tutorial on how to do that. Also, you can delete most of the chinese bloatware, but not all.
I am currently running LineageOS and thanks to the great developers it's pretty stable and working well, but if your friend is not very techie, as you say, it would be best to skip the bootloader unlocking and stick to the chinese ROM. I don't think that it will make much of a difference.
