Has anyone tried this firmware? Is it stable?
I bought my GT-N7100 in Indonesia. It is compatible with my phone?
The firmware is for China,I f your phone is N7100,you shouldn't face any problem..so go for it.But,Beware it might contain KNOX enabled bootloder,so do some research before flashing..
Gud luck.

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?
I have an AT&T model I'd like to get on 8.x. I'm not on AT&T but on a regional gsm carrier in Arizona. I'd love a stock rom that doesn't have any AT&T customizations but the bootloader looks to be an issue. Is there a 8.x official rom or other way to upgrade phone?
Thanks
not as of yet i get my replacement unit today in the mail and will post with an update it i can flash the retail version over to my at&t moto z2
Any luck?
Bumping this thread, would love to see if any progress has been made here.
Any update if you can flash retail OREO on AT&T version?
i bricked out my AT&T device trying to get it to change the CID to a tmo cid and in the process killed the device since i have had it replaced and I am trying again just hope it works this time
Hi,
I'll be getting a Canadian S9 soon but i have no need for the device and i'll be sending it to my sister in the states (she is on AT&T). I want to know if i'm OK just flashing the latest version of the US firmware to the Canadian device? and what is the CSC of the unlocked version of AT&T in the states? Will she be able to update as usual after that and will Samsung pay work?
Thank you very much in advance.
So hello guys! I just bought a used Galaxy S9 after almost 3 years with my iPhone 7. I'm so happy to be back with Android since my phone before iP7 was the Galaxy S5. But unfortunately it was locked to a carrier in the Philippines (cause I'm from here so it's Globe locked). I've done some rooting and stuff with my S5 before and flashing firmware so doing this again might need some familiarizing.
I've done some slight research and somehow I didn't find any, or maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. There were different versions of the G960 but the one I easily familiarized with was the U and U1 which were the locked and unlocked versions...
Is it possible to unlock my phone by flashing a firmware? My model number is SM-G960F btw... thanks guys!

do not flash the U1 firmware on a G960F device! Teh F devices have the Exynos processor and the U versions have the snapdragon and are therefore incompatible regarding firmwares. The G960F is the international unlocked version. Go into the settings and factory reset it from within the operating system, download the latest G960F using the frija or samfirm tool with the modified Odin for your desired cell provider. Standard Odin will likely give you errors
I recently flashed my oneplus 7 pro to the international firmware via a link on the page a few months ago when I paid off and unlocked my phone. I am buying a used S9 from someone that was purchased from T-Mobile. I'm assuming that it will also come with T-Mobiles own flavor of software?? If so, can I do the same thing I did to my OnePlus? Any links available to help would be appreciated.

yep, but youll need the patched version of Odin that doesnt trip the process up when the model # mismatch code is thrown up by Odin itself. The failsafe inside Odin is removed in the patched version allowing it to flash firmware for different devices without regard to errors that would otherwise prevent this. Kinda like firmware rape if you really think about it.
