Hello All,
A friend got a Note10+ 5G, but found it rooted out of the box.
After a little investigation i found that it's Korea version with UAE Firmware ! which is messed up !
Due to the phone is rooted or modified, all Banks application doesn't work which is a pain in the a** and also can't update it at all !
Any idea how to re-stock the device ???

Send it back. With a tripped Knox efuse if you're using as a stock phone many secure features will be unavailable. The only way to fix it be to replace the mobo.
If you use it rooted some work arounds are available. That said the N10+ will run very stock once optimized. Unless he wants it to be rooted make the seller eat it.

Hi guys! I bought a 2nd hand Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Although jelly bean 4.3 is out for the device and in my country, it is still not updated. It seems like the previous owner changed the ROM and CSC of the device before.
Of course, I am unable to contact the original owner. I got this from a buy and sell shop.
Is there any way for me to figure out the right ROM version and CSC for the device so it can get the normal updates from Samsung?
Thank you so much!

You should not be bothered so much mate

When is my 10.5 T800 going to get the OTA of lollipop i need SD write and i dont want to flash or root, tried Kies today 21/04/15 and it says Kitkat is the latest for me.
Is there a Samsung list of who is getting what and when.
Thanks.
John.
Some countries have not irreal (?too strong?) customer protect rules, they are the firsts (Sweden, Norway, France, Holland). I think we will get totally same OTA.

Haha I only live a few miles away from you (Hebburn)
I check every day on a couple of sites.
Sammobile.com click on firmware
samsung.youmobile.org
A brother Geordie , thanks for the links, I really want to wait a couple of days after it is released to make sure it`s safe before i upgrade, I usually use a wifi app to transfer files to my 10.5 but cannot do it at the moment and i dont like plugging and un-plugging all the time.
EDIT: So France are currently get it, so hopefully it will not be long for the UK.
Thanks
John.
I downloaded the French version and installed using Odin. I live in the UK and I really don't know what Samsung's issue is with having a worldwide release that is a hell of a lot quicker than this . It's not like they are releasing 5.1 is it? This is probably the best Android tablet you can get at the minute and the support it is getting from Samsung is a travesty.
Has not v5.0.2 that is rolling out in France got the memory leak problem, and v5.1.1 has the leak fixed.

Before you talk about the memory leak, I'm pretty sure it's in the bootanimation. Samsung uses qmg in which in this article, and from my testing, appears to be no memory leak. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/android-5-0-lollipop-bootanimation-causes-memory-leak-how-fix-1488246

From the link above.
Does this mean Samsung phones/tabs are not affected.
John.
"I'm almost certain that other Android 5.0 Lollipop ROMs may have the same problem (except for Samsung's Touchwiz - Touchwiz uses qmg format and I was unable to reproduce this bug on Touchwiz)," states the developer.

This is my first and last Samsung device. I cannot understand how they can postpone Lollipop update to Unlocked devices with no Carrier related connections. Why in ^&*()^ half of Europe need to wait months for Lollipop and other half can already use it? Where is difference between (for example) Norway unlocked and Sweden Unlocked? And there is more - many carrier locked devices already has Lollipop. Usually unlocked devices get updates first. But in Samsung world it's all around. Other manufacturers divide their updates in "unlocked" and "carrier related". Samsung divides them in "I'm drunk and I want to mess everything up" :cyclops:
Hope everyone gets lollipop until the end of summer.
Sorry!
If you're European, just flash any European firmware through Odin.
The OS is the same. Only the freebies are different (extra apps, free six month of some services) as they may be tied to local market.
It's no harder than an OTA update.
If you must, you can flash your local firmware over the top later when it's out. Without loss of apps.
Upon moving from 4.4 to 5.0, a factory reset may be recommended. Opinions seem to differ on that and it may dependent on what apps you're using
Disclaimer: I haven't updated my 8.4... Was also waiting for my own local 5.0.2 and/or a bit of free time, whichever comes first... But on my old Galaxy Tab 1st gen, I installed American, Indian and Austrian firmware... It doesn't matter much.

You could say that the one's who get it last will have a newer version as it does get updated.
I'm in the UK and I flashed mine with the Taiwan version as the build date is April, for most it's March. Very easy to flash.
Kitkat work's great, with Lollipop I haven't noticed any performance benefit.
No UK
Not in the UK yet sadly
I dont think UK will get it for some time.
Time to install the french version :crying: :crying:
I bought my wife a new A5 (2017) from my carrier last year. The model is SM-A520F/DS. The problem is that the phone came with UAE firmware but I live in Australia. I have searched everywhere but there is no SM-A520F/DS firmware for Australia. When the phone updates it is always UAE.
Normally this wouldn't be a problem but there is no VoLTE or WiFi Calling options because the existing firmware does not support Optus Australia.
Is it possible to flash a stock SM-A520F Australia XSA firmware even though it is a SM-A520F/DS? Will it trip knox or void the warranty or more importantly is it safe to do without bricking the phone.
I rang Samsung Support and was told that because the phone had UAE firmware I could not flash the Australian XSA firmware. Seems strange. Is that correct?
Anyone?

Hi.
I'm in the UK and have, in the past, flashed INS and SER firmwares with no bad effects.
Please research before you commit to flashing though. Let us know

I had researched and it suggested that it would be fine as the as the SM-A520F was an international version with the same hardware on all SM-A520F phones that it should be fine to flash the Australian XSA firmware, however Samsung Support told me that it would not work and Samsung Service refused to do it as it would void my warranty.
My wife has now decided (it's her phone) that she doesn't want to void her warranty so isn't interested in going any further.
Thanks anyway.

Fair enough, mate. Each version is essentially the same anyway. Not sure that maybe OTA security updates won't come through as your localel will be different to the CSC on the phone. Not sure about this though.
All the best
I heard similar things with PC bios - so it seems possible to me (unfortunately)
I think this has been asked before in a different way in this section but no real response yet. I did some research in the other Samsung device forums and see that often it is possible to remove branding or switch carriers adjusting device ID and bootloader etc. But no idea how to do it for the Tab S4.
I'm sick of waiting for slow updates through T-Mobile (or any carrier) and would like to fully unlock it's potential with Android 10 rather sooner than later. I bought this device second hand network unlocked.
Any short or long answer to these questions? Can it be done? If so where to start?
Am looking to do so, with the t835 you will have full calling functionality,,,

not needing the calling function on a tablet. but steady updates are welcome... tired of waiting twice.. first for Samsung with slow update policies then another time for carriers that already got their money and cant care much a anymore...
i'd be looking for T835C since I'm in China now.

The short answer is no.
I've tried that after I found my T837V can be successfully loaded with T837R4/T837T/... firmware. I thought maybe I could flash stock firmware of other versions. But if you do that with any firmware other than T837*, you will get "secure check fail pit" error. So sadly no.

Thanks for the response! So it does mean you can freely flash T837 versions which could mean I can just wait for the first version that comes out with android 10. Any first release should work. Right?
Turkey version has it:

T837 is Turkey version and I've tried it. It can't be loaded, maybe it need to be T837x which are all US variants.
As for Android 10 update, I think this will work. I'm waiting for the first one who gives the OneUI 2.1 update. So far the Verizon version(T837V) seems to have the most active firmware updates.
In the USA, SM-T837 ARE carrier tablets.
There are the SM-T837A, V, and T; ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile. TheSe are locked to the Carrier. If you have them unlock it, OTA upgrades are over. If you know how to hack the firmware, you can write over the carrier version. The best way to go is probably custom ROM AND ROOTING. But in other nations, it will probably work to write a different Samsung ROM. The SM-T835 HAS no US version, so you can probably write any tab s4 Factory ROM to it.
The USA HAS so many cellular devices, the rules are strict. And, the carriers sell the devices pretty cheap. So, they want them to stay with their service.
T-mobile update for android 10 finally out just got it
Hello!
I recently purchased an Note 10+ model SM-N976V, from Verizon. It's possible to flash an unlocked firmware to remove all the bloatware that came from the carrier?
For example to flash the SM-N976U or U1?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi @fregong
If that is your reason to do so, you don't need.

Good disabling.

Thanks for the response, In fact I already disabled all the bloatware, but it keeps with the firmware from Verizon, so I want to remove it and let the device with an unlocked software, no logos and other restrictions by VZW.

So ... your intention is not what you initially stated.
The below link shows all the firmware available for your SM-N976V with and without carrier. There is not any release for Nicaraguans so you shall select the one that fits you better. Just select between the ones without parenthesis (no carriers).

No mate, the sm-n976V is locked, unlike the tmo and att note 10+ 5g this phone is only ever able to stay on the V firmware. Look into changing the CSC. Will do what your asking.

Look into changing your CSC, I am searching desperatly to find a way to root this device. First it doesnt support 5G nationwide (I have a screenshot of the verizon rep saying it supported both MM 5g and nationwide) second its slower than my s8+ with a safestrap rom clearing the bloadware. This is a phone with 12gb of ram and its out preformed in both speed (network and device) by a Galaxy s8+ with some custom firmware. Honestly I am to the point where F____K knox ill root if i get the chance.
Any updates? Has anyone found a way to get unbranded debloated firmware on n976v
That would be through SamFwTool. Bootlogo remains and many retarded settings and bloat remain on all leves put there by the makers of the device and chips, without our consent. This bloat is used to spy on the user and report back telemetry and marketable data back to someone who is totally misusing this data and should be convicted for it.
To truly own your own device that you have paid for with your own hard earned cash, sadly some idiots are preventing your legal right.
We should start a classaction lawsuit against everyone who are guilty of this, as well as convict them of restricting our Right to Repair. Separately convict them for wasting precious metals and polluting the environment.
They must release an unlocked signed bootloader and firehose programmer. Until they do, they are BLACKLISTED from ever getting any money from me or anyone of the people who constantly ask me what to buy.
If the device is U4 or lower there is hope to unlock the bootloader, root it, and completely modify it. Do not brick it in the process because the idiots have put mines inside the chip as part of their security scheme which really is a mafia extortion scheme to drink your blood like vampiers and keep you in the matrix under their control and steal your money.
