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.

Thats not specific enough as too many regions with the same firmware version are available. You can use Phone INFO - Samsung to read out
region code / country
Latest official Android is 4.4.2

1. In ONE ROM you have MORE THAN ONE COUNTRY
2. By flashing rom, recovery, rooting the phone it is possible to loose warranty or bricking the phone.
3. You can follow these steps:
- Download the rom (firmware) acording to your country from samfirmware or sam-updates websiet.
example 1: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9195/SWC/
example 2: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9195/AUT/
In that Rom there will also be country like HU, DE, IT, FR and so on.
The software/rom will "take" the CSC for choosing if is a O2 or an ITM or Vodaphone or Verizon etc. after flashing it.
So, you need to change CSC, if you wish to swich from IT to DE for example, and that CSC to be contained into the ROM.
But to change CSC you need root, as far as I can see.
Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751192
section " - How to change CSC? "
I hope it helps.

You will not have any problem flashing different region.
Mine was panama Latin America, but I've flashed Russia, India, Germany, different carrier for my country and all worked fine.

The phone is not listed as SCH-I435L. The firmware version on Samsung's website is SCH-I435ZKAXAR, search engine shows I435"L"... in title but its not listed anywhere on the Samsung website. If you click on "retailer" online or locally you won't get listed any shops selling this model. The common sources for Samsung firmware don't provide any downloads. Its as the phone doesn't exist. Only option left is to contact Samsung's customer care.

It doesn't matter which region you choose.

Maybe contacting samsung's customer care is ultimate way. The i435L does exist cuz I abtained the firmware version from an ebay's seller.

i found a correct rom but...
The rom has same version i got now (4.2.2)... will something happen if I flash a rom that has same version?

As far as i know the bands are compatible. Vodafone UK uses the n78 band 3500mHz which is used in south korea too. The phone came with "LG U+" CSC (LUC) but i changed it to KOO (Unbranded) with SamKEY tool. No knox trips and it lost all the bloatware from the carrier. The things which are not working are: Samsung Pay (don't care), Wifi- Calling (Option is not visible but i get VoLTE) and most importantly 5G.

Flashing the latest starwars released firmware for sm-n976n changed my csc to KOO from KTC. But 5G will not work outside Korea. I think it does not support n78 5g band. In Gsm arena you can check n78 is not mentioned there.

Due device Carrier Policy 5G is not enabled outside from Korea. Also in Korea could be different 4G CA Combinations defined to hardware. You can help to understand supported combinations by contributing this info here: https://cacombos.com/contribute

I think Your sm-n976n version is Qualcomm so ShannonDM doesn't work for you. It work only Exynos based. If you don't have ShannonDM License I recommend use scat it's free software.

How do you plan to change it to Australia without changing the csc of watch via combination firmware which, apparently is not available as of now for the 825F model.

Man I know the paid site all have the wrong combination files. They are cheating and misleading the people that too after taking money. I know what must have happened you flashed a 825U firmware which was listed under 825F section in that website.
Good for you were in warranty. Rest the firmware i had was the same OLB available on that website. So no use.

Hi everyone.
I have Active2 4G version, R825F, BTU.
Bought about a month ago. The watch is unlocked. But as out of the box, the ASI7 firmware was never updated! Is everyone like that? And is it possible to see the firmware coming out for my model, such as for Samsung phones (sammobile), but there is no information about the firmware for the watch. Thanks.
