Cannot find correct Stock rom

So my signal wouldn't work so I went to SamMobile and downloaded the UK BTU stock ROM. I wiped the rom used triangle away to reset flash counter and installed the stock ROM. The status was 'Normal'. I then sent it to Samsung for a repair.
I received the phone back yesterday, samsung have refused to repair it as it has custom firmware, I have again installed the UK BTU firmware (old versions too) and it seems to be installing a Ukrainian stock ROM, no matter which website I download it from.
The signal is now working but I still cannot find the actual UK BTU (or UK T-Mobile) stock ROM.
Also, when I received the phone back from samsung the auto-rotate feature no longer works (Android Sensor Box shows it not working at all) and I cannot say this to Samsung as they will obviously think i'm making it up.
Anyway, can anyone help ?
Thanks

I have tried that link and getting an incorrect ROM. First of all the language is Ukranian (I believe) even though it is listed as United Kingdom BTU. The flash counter goes back to 1 at every boot even though I am not rooted and Kies refuses to install firmware.
My IMEI displays fine.

You need to enter S/N , you can find in device setting / back of device under battery.

Hi,
Do you have the n7105 LTE model?
T-Mobile UK is now known as Everything Everywhere.
The ROMs show on SamMobile as "United Kingdom (EE)" and have EVR as the CSC
like: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/197072816/008698a/N7105XXDMB2_N7105EVRDMA2_EVR.zip.html

It is definitely N7100, it's with T-Mobile (EE) but not on their "4gee" plan. The stock firmware is BTU.
Here is the details i'm shown after entering my S/N:

I fixed it myself by checking "Phone" instead of "PDA" in Odin. This also fixed the orientation problem.
Thanks anyway.

GT-N5100 change ROM - bought in China

Dear all,
i am living in China and I receive the note 8 GT-N5100 for present... but as you may know in China, Android is customised with no google services and play store! impossible to choose language except korean, chinese and english (but all the samsung applications are much more chinese languages aware than english)...
So I try to change the chinese ROM with a european one last week end through Odin but it failed during the process (on the forum, it seems that a bootloader or something like is blocking the process) and I restore it through KIES.
i am now in a guerilla mode with my tablet as i will whatever it takes to break these chinese limitation and have a real international tablet.
i read that mobile Odin pro could be a solution? but through the device no appstore, so can't buy it (and seems that mobile odin is not covering yet note 8).
i am looking for your help on that, if you have any ideas, please help!
thanks

Questions first. Are you rooted? Can you use the root tools here to root your device? That will be a prerequisite for most things. If your trying to instal the google framework for play services Try the instructions on this link Make sure you use the manual installation method. I know this is for the kindle fire HD but the file structure should be similar and it will get ya up and running.

hi thanks for you reply.
i added a file named: CF-Auto-Root-kona3g-kona3gxx-gtn5100.tar.md5 through Odin on the table with no problem (red android robot as a pirate) and it has added superSU.
so i suppose that i have rooted it?

Try the v1,1 toolkit for the Note 8. You find if in the original android development Section. Install and follow the Instructions, You have to check if your version is supported, else you follow the instructions and send your version to the dev. Then wait for support. I found the toolkit great and easy to use. Just root and install custom recovery, and you will be good to go!
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda app-developers app

hope this will work with this crazy chinese rom.

is the toolkit will working with my build number: JZO54K. N5100ZCBMD2. the toolkit mentions build BMC9-BMD1?
as said the aim is to change the ROM.... sorry toask so much questions but first time i am doing that
thanks

Your rom ends with BMD2, therefore it's outside the span BMC9- BMD1. Follow the an screen instruktions, and send your version to the dev. He will add your version shortly, then you are able to run custom roms!

Samsung Galaxy Watch bricked? - ODIN MODE - Secure JTAG Disabled !!!

Hello
I'm new in this forum and I'm not advanced user in this kind of things at all so please, treat me like a non-geek user.
I want to tell you my story.
I bought my Samsung Galaxy Watch SM-R810 few months ago and I've been trying to install my Samsung Pay a lot of times. I've been reading a lot about this and I suppose that my device is from another country that is not allow to use it (?).
So Reading a lot in this forum (and more) I decided to change the region to another that allows me to use my damnit NFC to pay my things.
I've been trying it by the easiest way using adb commands wireless like in the post bellow:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...nging-region-samsung-gear-sport-r600-t3771324
But everytime I tried it fails and I deduce that my current version is too higher and mine is locked to change the region to another so..
I decide to downgrade my current version to another bellow 4.0.0.4 that allows to do this...
Using NetOdin3 I've intalled this version but by error I charged R800XX instead R8100XX that I need so I'm stucked in the following screen (I supose that is bricked) And I pray to any of you can help me with this because I'm overwhelmed at this point and my last joker is to use the internal pins of my device to try to connect it to my computer...
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-R810
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
REACTIVATION LOCK: ON
Secure Download : Enabled
CARRIER_ID:
WARRANTY VOID: 0 (0X0000)
AP SWREV: B:0 K:0 S:0
Secure JTAG Disabled!!!

You need USB cable.
Then please only flash correct Firmware SM-R810

HEEEY, I did it! It works perfect now!
I used this tutorial to unbrick it (I had to buy 2 chargers because first one came without 5 pins, but S3 Gears works perfectly, If you are reading this please buy one because I'm seeing that it's becoming difficult to get it now)
And once I unbrick it (I had to try a lot of time because pins didn't connect at all, also I had to cut some plastic of the 5 pins charger motherboard to fit it better) I decide to try again and install the propper version to change my region (that was my very first problem).
So I used this version R600XXU1AQI8_OXA That is Tizen 4.0.0.4 Using NetOdin (Once is totally unbricked and allows Download (Wifi))
And Finaly I used this tutorial to change my region, I used before but with newers version of tizen it's not possible.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...nging-region-samsung-gear-sport-r600-t3771324
Finally I have my Samsung Galaxy Watch SM-R810 with Samsung Pay, It can be very risky only for getting this app but I think Is stupid expend this bunch of money in this watch and cannot use one of the most important uses that is NFC to pay (more when the only reason is the freacking region)
So If you are reading this in the future and Have the same problem than me you can ask here in this post how to fix it.
I'm very pleased with XDA-Developers forum because you saved my life, Thanks!

Hello, i had the same problem when i was trying to downgrade to change the region so i can download samsung pay.
Im trying to do exactly what he tells to do on the video, but my computer is not recognizing the watch as in the video. So the Netodin is not connecting to the watch. I thought perhaps it whas not fit firmly, but i can hear the noise on pc that an usb device was connected. I dont know more i can do. Can someone help me ? (Sorry about my english, im from Brazil)
One more thing, where i can find the original and correct room for sm-R810 ? Thanks a lot!!!

Softbricked my S20+ 5G SM-G986U - Need Help!

Hello Guys,
I have SM-G986U Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G Snapdragon. I had Android 10 and I did not receive any update of Android 11, so I tried flashing it to Android 11 One UI 3.0 my self.
I couldnt correctly figure out what my CSC was, but my phone was of US origin and unbranded unlocked. So i downloaded stock ROM for G986U1 - XAA (CSC) - Android 11 https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G986U1/XAA/G986U1UES1CTL5 ( i read in a thread that G986U can be flashed with G986U1)
First i had problem flashing it with Odin 3.13.1, which did not work. Then i read somewhere i should try patched version. So i tried Odin 3.13 (patched), Odin 3.14, Odin 3.14.1 (patched).
It started flashing with Odin 3.14.1 patched, but after started i stucked on flashing "super.img" and then it softbricked. I tried FRP Hijacker to try recovering, but it said "re-download official super.img".
Then i tried some other firmwares. I tried
1. G986U1 - XAA (CSC) - Android 11
2. G986U1 - XAA (CSC) - Android 10
3. G986U - TMB (CSC) - Android 10 (because I had exactly same AP version and CSC version in my phone when it was working, i checked that with *#1234#. AP VERSION 986USQU1ATAW , CSC VERSION G986UOYN1ATAW)
4. G986U - SPR (CSC) - Android 11 (Because when i went to download mode for the first time, i saw at the left top of my screen something like Carrier_id = SPR. So i have tried this as well)
It stucks here:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have run out of options now, need help. Please let me know what should i try to fix my phone. The only screen i come to now is "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software"
I tried using Smart Switch Emergency Recovery as well, it doesn't show my phone in the list where i should select. It looks like a connection problem with Smart Switch.
I have tried everything i could. I dont know if i am trying the wrong firmwares or something wrong with the Odin. I NEED HELP TO RESTORE MY DEVICE. PLEASE.
EDIT:
I have now explored Samsung has disabled this feature in Smart Switch, i even tried older version which had this feature Smart Switch 4.0 and 4.1, it had device initialization option, where i was able to search the model and enter S/N but then it just closes.
So the hopes are down with Smart Switch.Looks like only way out is Odin, but don't what i am mistaking. Is it the right firmware selection or need some trick with the Odin.

Thank God, it is fixed now. I couldnt understand a lot. I figured my CSC was "OYN" and it is Multi CSC phone unbranded phone. I tried again to flash with G986U - TMB (CSC) - Android 10 (which had AP VERSION 986USQU1ATAW , CSC VERSION G986UOYN1ATAW ). It stuck again on flashing prism.img. So i tried again dropping the CSC file and flashed AP, BL and CP files. Which worked but my phone was still not starting since it was missing the Prism.img.
So i then tried flashing the CSC file with the other firmware version which i previously downloaded for "XAA (CSC)" which is also for unbranded USA. And it worked. The phone started working back now. Though in updates section it now says "Your current software version isnt supported". But the phone works fine so far.

Activate plan on Active 2 LTE purchased from US in Canada

Hi,
I've purchased a Galaxy Active 2 LTE (unlocked, SM-R835U, Tizen 5.5.0.1) from BestBuy US and I want to use it in Canada. Bell and Telus are supporting LTE smartwatches, but I wanted the Stainless Steel Gold color which was not available in Canada. My career, Bell, has activated the plan in their network and it seems they haven't any problem with its IMEI. But when I want to add plan from my phone it says " there aren't any plans available for your watch in your country!
I talked with 3 people from Samsung customer services and stores. Some are saying it's a software problem, and some are saying the frequency is different but it's very unlikely and I didn't convince.
Any idea how can I solve this issue to get it to work? Is it possible to change the firmware to something compatible without broking Payment, BT, etc?!
Thank you for your help.

Thanks,
My device is an unlocked US version, I think it's unlocked for all regions. Do you think that my Carrier can do anything about it? For example may I ask them to add my IMEI to their network?
And could you please let me know where can I download the official CSC for my country and device? I just found a Korean and a XAR (US) firmware for R835. Thanks

its carrier unlocked not region unlocked , just change the CSC and it will work fine .All the LTE version for some reasons are region locked .
