Hi,
last week i bought a Samsung note 10.1 from china. When i got home i found out that i don't have Google play and other Google apps. I read that i could just change the room without rooting the device, using Odin.
Can someone please explain me exactly how i do it, how do i choose what Rom i need, etc?
Here are some details:
Model: GT-N8010
Build number: JZO54K.N8010ZCCMB1
Android:4.1.2
Thanks in advance!
top right corner = search bar. Use words flash with odin snote 10.1...
Just ROOT your device and install google play
when that doesn`t help enough change build.prop
Here some info that might help u
no need to change entire rom
I prefer not to root it if not needed.
Can i use any rom that i want?
Yes u can....
But most roms are already pre rooted so i see no gain from this
Not from sammobile... These are stock samsung roms... You need to join and find a rom you want. Just be aware that people have had problems with flashing chinese roms onto other countries tablets, seems to be around modem.bin in the flash, this may also affect you too....
Just to be completely sure, i can use this ROM with Odin even though i bought the note from China/Honk Kong and i am gonna use it in Israel?
Thanks for the help
The question i would ask first is it a genuine Samsung Galaxy Note not some fake / clone .

Yes, it is genuine

In that case pick the rom for your model and country .
See post 2 this page .

So have you succeeded in flashing any stock rom which includes playstore?
cause when I flash it, it fails at flashing the modem.
I succeeded but it won't boot so i flashed the original back...
We have a second exact note 10.1 that was also bought from china/honk kong and we asked from the seller to have a regular rom, and now i have a non-Chinese rom on my second note.
I'll try to ask him how he did it next time, maybe 2-3 weeks.

Try Mobile ODIN... Others have had success using this BUT make sure you have either a nandroid backup or the stock rom...Preferably both...

If i buy Galaxy SII chinese copy again whit android whit 1 sim , can i flash phone whit costume android rom ? or is it posible to root it ? Did anybody have expirence whit that?
It's all about software & all country have same software for same model. So u can do all this things.but don't sure about Chinese copy.
Sent fromXperia Arc S LT18i with Rooted/Unlocked Bootloader & custom xperia s os
With these Chinese copies, there's no guarantee that anything will work like the original, since they don't have the same chips inside. You may be able to root, you might even be able to flash a new ROM, but the chance of finding a custom recovery or ROM which is 100% compatible is low. For that reason, your best chance is to not flash anything, otherwise you might brick it.
i think

I have a Chinese galaxy note mt6575 replica so far it has been fantastic.
I have rooted it with bin4ry without any problems
I have flashed cwm custom recovery with help from the tutorials on xda and help from senior member yuweng
To flash a custom rom i would have to port it first to get it to work with my device more effort to do it but at least its possible.
can install rom on chinese phone

I'm not clear:
If you mean a genuine samsung phone: Yes, you can flash roms etc. But if possible double check the forums etc to make sure you can easily find all of the info and downloads you need based on the version numbers etc. If you can read chinese I think you will find tons of forums/support both on XDA.cn and local sites
If you mean a copy: Don't do it. 99% sure you will be disappointed very fast both by the quality / performance and by the lack of any community support.
Sorry if this has been asked before. n8010 and n8013 doesn't seem to have any hardware differences.
I have the n8013 model (the one sold on the US, bought it on Bestbuy), but it doesnt seem to get as many updates as the International model.
So here is my question: Can I flash n8010 firmware through Odin on n8013?

Hard to keep up with all of the 8000 series updates but I think it just looks like the 8010 & 8000 have more updates because they have so many different languages.
I don't know but does more updates mean that they have actual made a major advance over another?????? Maybe it just means that the programmer messed something up in that version and they are fixing it????? I don't know?????

I'm asking because n8000/10 might get 4.2.2 or even 4.3 first.
So it would be nice to flash it on n8013 too.
Everything does work normally except the status of the device is no longer normal but custom even using stock rom with no root.

Hi folks, I hope I am in the correct forum ?
Well i am a experienced Moto X user (rooted, boot-loader un blocked, etc.) and never bought a Tablet, but a friend brought me a new Note 10.1 to Argentine and i gladly bought it. So here are some questions.
1. I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 only Wifi, not the 2014 edition?
2. Second my OS is 4.12, is there any official KitKat 4.4.2 available? At least i do not get a OS update when i check.
3. If "no" to Nr. 2 any recommended Roms?
4. Rooting makes sense on a Tablet?
One more.
When trying to launch Google+ i get the message that the software of my device is not actualized. Google+ closes and send me to the configuration to check OTA, but there is no.
Thanks and be patient as i am new to Samsung and tablets.

1. Yes
2. Kitkat is available in a some of countries, you will get update soon. But I recommend you to install official rom via odin, not from kies or system update
4. Yes, if you want to customise UI or delete ads. I think you know what root is it.
Sorry for my English

Any clew why Google+ is not running on my 4.1.2?

If it's a GT-N8013, it's not a 2014 but a 2012 edition.

I don't know about each device/country but generally yes there is an official update available. If your tablet doesn't update automatically, the KitKat stock Roms are even linked somewhere in the Note 10.1 forum. sammobile.com also has them. You will probably need to use Odin to flash.
3. If "no" to Nr. 2 any recommended Roms?

I'd recommend to check out gnabo.
4. Rooting makes sense on a Tablet?

Sure. No difference to a phone. It's more about Samsung Note devices. Rooting makes about as much sense as anywhere else but custom roms only make limited sense since most roms can't include the s-pen stuff. BTW google KNOX if you like your warranty.

I don't know about 8013, but for 8000 is publishing now on over the world. I hope 8013 will have an update soon.
You can delete G+ and download it again. Maybe error will disappear. Stock apps is so stupid.
Thanks,
yes I saw the updates for N8000 all over the place. I hope also that N8013 will get those soon. I saw that some people flashed successful the 8000 UK update on an 8013. Maybe an alternative if 8013 won't get an update to 4.4.x. Any info regarding that?
Ok,so some more questions.
1. What is the recommended way to root the device with 4.1.2?
2. For flashing Roms Odin Pro for Android? I like flashing Roms from inside the device instead via PC, so I would buy Odin Pro.
3. TWRP Recovery is working fine with the device? I would love to use it as I also have it on my Moto X.
Ok, that's all for now, and thanks for helping.

Clarification on what you have and options
To clearify what you have.
you have the us version of the 2012 wifi tablet same as n8010. The 8010 roms with Boot-loader removed will Run on your device. Your play store issue can prob be solved by going into settings and location. fix to your location But i am unsure exactly. or do a Factory reset by going to
settings backup and restore. i think is where its at.
This Device Same as i have has been left behind by Samsung. it has not been upgraded above the version you have. Samsung WILL NOT UPGRADE IT OR they would have by now.
Two best options in my Opinion.
To upgrade and Stay totally stock You can use his Rom. Or Download the Rom for n8010 for your country from Sammobile and follow instructions on the like below to remove boot-loader.

Its a samsung touchwiz rom. So you only loose the Apps he removed from the rom. But you can put them back in the link on second post on his thread. I Been using the rom for over a month. I get a bit less battery life But still does Great for a tablet i have been using everyday for two years.
I MUST HAVE Fully working s-pen snote and i use Office suite 8. I use my tablet for onside Estimates and Billing. as well as Contracts . Get the Customers hooked before they have a chance to think twice.. Hehe . but seriously It works good for me.
Ok,
so as i have a long weekend here in Argentine , Monday is holiday - lucky me - I will root my device, flash a Recovery and flash Gnabo
Last question for now..jajaja
What is the suggested root method and Custom recovery for the device (stock 4.1.2) , to flash the Rom later?

Does anyone know where i can find ANY custom roms for the SM-915G? Ever since I've brought the Note Edge, I feel like it needs alot of enhancements as I absolutely love using custom roms.
My advice is keep wait for more developers . Same here "G"
Same boat as you both , 915G waiting for some good custom rom developers to release their amazing roms
Me too. 915G stock firmware + root + CWM from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993. Now can not pair with my Moto 360 anymore as bluetooth problem. SuperSU takes very slow to response. Installing any softwares on Play Store or apk files are the same, it took 5-10 minutes to complete installed. Boring... Waiting to a custom rom from developer to save me. Now, it is a nightmare...

As we have no Rom's to flash, I decided to try and flash the most recent no carrier firmware from SamMobile. (N915GXXU1ANK4)
I was on the Original Vodafone firmware and I have to say the non-bloat version is much snappier. I needed to factory reset and set everything up again. However now I feel like the phone is performing more like it should with theses specifications.

I was wondering if the Roms available on SamMobile were really safe and clean? Given they're not working FOR Samsung, where do they get those?
I'm wondering because I noticed there was a link that came with my phone originally that wasn't there when I restored a ROM I took from SamMobile.

I flashed many devices with odin and firmware downloaded from SamMobile.com and i never had any problems with it. The provided firmwares are not modified and seem to be 100% official versions.
No need to worry about sammobile as it is safe and clean.
It is all in one resource for Samsung stock roms. I used so many roms for different models from there and never faced any issues.
Can you please describe which link you got additional ??

Nothing important really but there was a link to my carrier's mobile site and SamMobile listed the ROM with the name of my carrier. So I thought it had been modified. But maybe it's just because it's the same version as the one my carrier offers but doesn't come FROM my carrier?

No it's not official, I read somewhere they were named Samsung Firmware before they had to change to Sam Firmware at Samsung's request (before they were named SamMobile). I can't find where I read this though.

Not official, but safe. They make their money by subscription services for "premium" download privileges. Maybe ads too, but I use adblock, so I wouldn't see them.
Yes me too. But I do wonder where they get all those ROM since Samsung doesn't give the out.

You can't do stock updates on rooted devices with custom ROMs and custom recovery.
You have to remove root, you also need to have an UNMODIFIED system partition and you need stock recovery.
If you're using a custom ROM(your note 7 ROM is a ported stock custom ROM) then that means you are rooted and probably have custom recovery which means you need to remove root and undo any system modifications that were done in the custom ROM(including any special themes and Xposed) then flash stock recovery instead of custom recovery.
Then you might be able to do the updates but the system will be looking for your device to have straight stock with no modification, if there is any modification left behind then the update won't work.

Hi!
Thank you for your message.
Here is the list of things I did to my poor note 3 :
- rooted
- installed Darkera's note 7 rom, custom recovery and kernel downloaded also from Darkera
- unrooted with supersu
- using Odin3 I installed kitkat 4.4.2 which I downloaded from sammobile (I was told this process gonna whipe away everything - custom rom, custom recovery and kernel)
- downloaded supersu to make sure root is gone
Because of sammobile's server maintenance happening this weekend I used kitkat file I downloaded from sammobile quite some time ago (N9005XXUEND3_N9005XEOEND2_XEO for Poland) and during flashing everything went ok. But now when I go to 'settings' and 'about device' imei, modem version, baseband version are unknown and when I try to hit 'update' I get "processing failed' message. Oh, and I'm also experiencing random reboots. I'm not sure if all this is a normal thing or perhaps I did something wrong.
I hope I didn't bore you to sleep
