That's probably because HK version is that of 16GB.

i don't believe anything to do with the memory size , i did flash too many phone in the past from HTC One 64g to 32g and even nexus devices and even s3 32g and 16g s4 too
never was a problem before , i am sure something to do with the Built or kernel , i might be wrong .but always Asia was challenging when come to flash it via odin

Need Help
Where can I get the -
Qi Standard Wireless Charging Receiver for SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 3
for the Thick Extended Battery with back cover
Can anyone give me some Site links in Hong Kong
Please

I think we need to do a copy of our ROM for the developers to be able to modify.
I frickin' hate Samsung for releasing 16GB here in HK.

Try this site. It's in China but they offer free shipping to HK, takes about 3 days from stock. I have bought two chargers and two wireless charger interface panels from them for my Note3. All work ok.

Ouch Sorry, I didn't read your post completely. You have the THICK Battery no? The only issue I can see at the moment is if the 3 gold contacts on the receivers will be able to make contact with the three contacts in the phone. I am assuming the thick battery is slightly higher then the normal battery when placed in the phone..hence your calling it Thick Battery.
Since the receiver goes on top of the battery, between the rear case, this means it is higher up and this in turn raises the contacts from the receiver.
Are you using the SView Cover or just a case for the back? If it's a case for the back, then just put some extra padding over the receiver contacts so that when the cover is on it will push the contacts for the receiver down on to the phone contacts.
If it's an SView Cover you will have to do some fancy thinking with your padding cause the contact points need to also touch the covers contacts in order to work. Don't short them!
Good luck....let me know how the SKU: 275434 Black one works. It has and extra 2 contacts on the top which go over the NFC antenna. When you use these receivers, they block NFC signals on the whole.

Check out this post in XDA. You should be able to get your device's PIT or at least find ways to get it with ADB.

Rorii,
Do you think you should change the title of the thread to SM-N9005 Hong Kong instead of Honk Kong? Might make it easier for people looking for Hong Kong Note 3 threads.

Officially, but once we forget about keeping Knox and go "ROGUE" we have more choices!! But only for the brave or knowlegable!!:silly:
ZHU won't allow google or it's apps and many people rely upon them!

Until someone finds a way to kill knox without tripping it (especially for the HK rom) I'm gonna wait until my warranty runs out then I'm gonna root it!

Guys
Can you please tell me place to go in HK for Mobile gadgets covers etc
wholesale & retail also
will be traveling soon

Hi all,
I recently travelled to Hong Kong for a holiday and purchased a grey imported Note 3. I'm loving this phone!
I was glad that I managed to find this thread. I want aware that I can't flash other countries' firmware if my phone is ZHUxxx. Is this definitely still the case? I was going to flash the UK BTU firmware today after I rooted the phone last night.
Also Dabgoo, you mentioned that ZHU won't allow google or its apps. What do you mean by this? My phone came with Google apps (maps, search, google+ etc). Are there other apps that I'm missing that I should have?
Btw, happy new year to all!

Yeah I got my phone from Hong Kong too. It's based on ZHUDMK1 firmware, and running all Google apps too just like you said. I am also interested in whether if possible to flash other countries firmware on this device. I had Note GT-N9220 (Hong Kong version of Note GT-N7000) before and could flash international firmwares on it but still doubtful about Note 3. Please let us know if you could succeed flashing international firmwares and drop your preview here. Thanks.

Sorry, my mistake, I using a Dual sim, N-9002 should have pointed that out. If you have the single sim N-900 or N9005 you should be able to flash other roms without a problem, as long as you make sure the rom is for your model phone.
I think that ZHU is the country code for CHINA roms. Official HK dist should have TGYXXX as their firmware.
Hong Kong although now part of China has DIFFERENT ROMS. For my ZNU ROM google apps was not installed on my phone, China Mobile Vesrion, N-9002, and I couldn't install at all, blocked. Had to root phone, then install the apps myself. My ROM is ZNUDMK1.

Thanks Dabgoo for clarifying!
So you think I'll be able to flash a different country's firmware without issues if I have the single SIM N9005?
I wonder if the OP had a single or dual SIM N9005?

I have SM-N9005 single sim and the only Rom i can flash is the Hong Kong or Taiwan Rom .

[Q] What Variant is my S6?

Hello,
My phone is a SM-G920F w/ 5.0.2 installed. The Baseband is G920FXXU1AOCZ build number LRX22G.G920FXXU1AOCZ . The only reason I'm asking is because I've seen others get an OTA for 5.1.1 but I haven't yet. I was wondering if I could Odin the phone to a UK variant?
The seller from the shop said it was a phone from Isreal flashed with a Region Free Firmware? but when I check the knox it was still intact. Is there any way to find out more information about the phone?
Thank you!
I have the exact same question. I have the G920F international unlocked model as well, using it on AT&T here in the USA. Phone's working great, but no update to 5.1, despite reading reports that Samsung has pushed 5.1 to the international variants. Is it because we're using the phone in the USA? Will we even get the OTA update, or will we have to update manually using ODIN?
Here you go UK ROM 5.1.1 BTU ready for you to flash:

I didn't ask the original question, so my apologies. But I was wondering if you had any advice on how I should proceed to update my device? I have the G920F that I bought unlocked off of Ebay and using it on AT&T here in the USA. It's working fine, but it says there are no updates. I don't even know if it'll even get an OTA pushed to my device since I am not in the originating region?
Should I just wait, or is it safe to go ahead and flash one of these 5.1 roms with ODIN that are for the G920F? If so, which one should I install? I think the first one available for the G920F was the France one. But now there are others. Does it matter which one I install? Or would I have to wait until a North American rom is available?
Thanks!
For reference, my build is G920FXXU1AOCV and my CSC is G920FOJV1AOBL. Not sure what those mean or how it applies to my situation?

Ita still best to stick to your working 5.0.2 ROM and wait for official 5.1.1 OTA update which should come soon. Flashing exposes you to risks like bricking your S6, tripping Knox and voiding your warranty. If can't resist the itch then flash away.

G920F - How to find out the firmware country? (to flash a new one)

Hi guys,
I wanted to flash the new firmware I have a G920F (firmware G920FXXU3COI9). I bought it online on craigslist, so I don't know where this one come from (maybe Africa, it came with some weird built in apps.
Is there a way to figure the country?

New G930F, wish to downgrade FW

Hi, I'm in the US and I received my new S7 G930F International today with baseband G930FXXU1DQB1, Android 7.0 and wish to downgrade to Marshmallow 6.01, where can I find the proper FW for this?
From what I've been able to find so far I have this,
XX = COUNTRY CODE (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom)

Hi mate
Use an app like PhoneInfo to find out what is your active CSC , this will tell you what country is the firmware from
You can flash the firmware of any country you want , just make sure that its CSC has the country specific features you need ( like Wif calling or VoLTE)

Hi mate
You have and unbranded Panamanian firmware
My question would be is it working good in the USA , are you missing any carrier option like wifi calling or VoLTE?
If not you can use any of the 6.0.1 from here (TPA)
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=TPA&v=&q=g930f&exact=1
Here you use Odin and i would use AP, BL , CP and CSC ....not quite sure if you could use home_csc to save your data, using CSC will factory reset your phone....i would use that option
This option here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvq2-XRisDI
Downgrade your phone and save your data but is not a 100% downgrade as it does not flash the bootloader and the modem.......
Why you want to downgrade anyhow?

Hi @MAX 404, thanks for that link, it's a genuine PITA sifting thru all of the firmware over there. I'm with Consumer Cellular (AT&T) and the reason for the downgrade (6.01), I want to just root (CF-Auto-Root) without a custom recovery atm.
Also, things seem to be running fine with this firmware, data etc. though I haven't used it much. I don't use WiFi calling so have no real need for that. Curious, though what would be a better or closer firmware other than Panama as I have to admit I'm a bit overwhelmed with the sheer number of firmware choices.

Yes, In the USA they do not have the G930F ( exynos chipset) they comercialice the snapdragon version.....with a lock bootloader
Myself i think the one you got is better
That is why you do not have a G930F USA firmware

Quick question, just so I'm square on this, I read somewhere but forgot where, how these files are handled, in their respective slots, CSC, CP, BL, AP but what is done if at all of the "HOME" file?
Edit: I found that it should be ignored and just use the regular CSC file, I do opt for a full wipe anyhow.

Hi
That is right , you should use home_csc only if is the same one that is in your phone and you want to keep the user date , with CSC you will wipe the phone and have a clean install...better that way

Oppo From these markets IS a GLOBAL (2025) dual SIM with 512GB

There are many posts scattered around with this information, and people asking about it. So i prefered to regroup this here.
So YES it is confirmed, the only places to get the OPPO Find X2 Pro 2025 , Global WITH Dual Sim are in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapour (waiting for more information if other countries have them)
It's nearly impossible to find a place to buy it online, so you need to find alternative ways like http://www.parcl.com to get it, and it will come out more expensive.
Be careful on the JD.com site from Thailand as it has various versions of the phone.
Also apparently Oppo is big in Thailand and they have shops in Bangkok, so it's easy to find (apparently the Black one is out of stock, but the Orange one can be easily found).
One member here posted this as proof, and it's thanks to him we were able to find the truth!
Oppo FInd x2 pro screenshot
I'm also interested to know that. Did you flash the EU / UK Firmware on the Thai Model with no issues? Strange i thought the Global 2025 variant all have the same firmware. But now thinking of it; as the Thai model is the only Dual SIM 2025, i'm very curious to know what differences there are... as if there are not many, this is going to be interesting to see if it's possible to port it to other 2025 single sim Models.
Could you please enlighen us and tell us the differences between the two models?

So, everyone getting Find X2 Pro from Thailand is lucky right ?
All OPPO Find X2 Pro in Thailand has 2 IMEIs as far as I know.
View attachment 5030543
and this is mine, running on .18 EU firmware
also, I was running on .21 TH firmware and that shows 2 IMEIs too.

Yes, you are right. i miss understood at first. 1 SIM can have 5G, the other is 4G. If you switch "SIM2" to 5G "SIM1" will have 4G max.

you were able to flash EU to your Thailand model? Just flashed in recovery? Sorry don't understand or do you have EU model that doesn't work dual sim?

under the bands specs... this is the translation
* The function will be available on the 5G Live Network. Depending on the service area of ​​the network. And software of certified devices It will be able to support the 5G function when it is upgraded via OTA and when the network used is ready to provide service.
meaning it doesn't support 5G currently since it is not necessarily deployed in that region but they will bring functionality via OTA...
To note, currently 865 snapdragon has 5G limitation to 1 SIM only and is being worked on currently to be patched... this is for all phones... you can either rock dual sim, dual 4G, 1 SIM 5G and 1 SIM Standby. Someone in previous post has the phone in hand and could answer better. The limitation is not Oppo's issue... its googles and Qualcomm. This is why USA OnePlus 8 Pro is currently only 1 SIM and EU OnePlus 8 Pro only supports dual sim 4G.

You have the phone... is there a 5G limitation on single sim? As you previously posted, definitely no dual 5G yet... Can you run on 5G and 4G at same time dual sim or just 4G...?

PARCL forwarder said 3 to 5 days until he receives then will ship to me... should have sometime next week....
I was able to get black... I could live with orange one but actually not my first choice. :good:
Not true.
Available officially in Malaysia and Singapore as well.
Could be available in other places as well. So it's definitely not Thailand exclusive
You are right.
I was not aware of this. Shame you didn't share this information on the other threads.
So three countries today :
Malaysia
Singapour
Thailand

Yes, I'm able to flash EU firmware and Global firmware back and forward with no issue.
EU firmware is less bloated with no theme or OPPO browser app. However, my purpose then was to get May patch cause the global rom .17 was pulled at that time.
But I'm back to .21 Global now.
If we flash it from global to EU, something might not work properly. You have to do data wiping once and everything will be fine. But that is not the case when you switch to global firmware from EU firmware.
And for the question about flashing. Yes, I did flash everything via its recovery.
Ok great to know!
Where did you get your "EU" firmware (source)?
Also, you confirm that the dual SIM is still on when you flash the Firmware (it can happen that in the UI or partition the dual SIM is not written in the code. Thanks for your help.

Hello @SAO
Does the Thailand version have non Latin characters when configured to English language?
How much did you pay for the Thailand version?
I just managed to buy the Chinese green version. I am preparing myself for flashing Global Rom (or EU Rom if there are some non Latin characters on global Rom). You confirm it is possible? Is there any tutorial for that?

Here's where I got .18 EU firmware (UK OPPO Site)
http://downloads.oppo.com.s3.amazon...3/CPH2023EU_11_OTA_0680_all_YD84Gwv3jmdQ.ozip
and I can confirm you that dual SIM is still working fine

Also, for the .21 firmware, I OTAed it from my Thai (I belive that it's the global) .17 firmware.
If you want to have .21 firmware (basically, the changelog is the same as the .17) you can try downloading OPPO Find X2's .17 firmware from OPPO Thailand's site. I believe that would work too.

There are many posts scattered around with this information, and people asking about it. So i prefered to regroup this here.
So YES it is confirmed, the only places to get the OPPO Find X2 Pro 2025 , Global WITH Dual Sim are in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapour (waiting for more information if other countries have them)
It's nearly impossible to find a place to buy it online, so you need to find alternative ways like http://www.parcl.com to get it, and it will come out more expensive.
Be careful on the JD.com site from Thailand as it has various versions of the phone.

Could you please edit the OP post with included links to these Malaysian/Thai/Singapore stores? That would be awesome, thank you
I can't provide sources i don't know about if you have shops or methods to get them, don't hesitate to mention them

I'm using PARCL...
its a buying and forwarding service... basically, you find something on the web... for example, the thailand version of the Find X2 Pro (I used the recommend mobile company site that Oppo recommends on Thailand site, believe its AIS)...
Copy the website url and total price and some additional details like color, capacity, etc.
Go on PARCL and follow their instructions (its fairly intuitive)... You basically make a request for someone in that country that forwards for PARCL to buy it for you then ship it to you in your home country... think of it as a personal shopper.
You pick from different forwarders in that country... some new, some experienced, etc.
They review and message you back that they will agree and will give you a price for their services + shipping. For me with USD conversion, it made the phone around $200 more expensive... considering I didn't have to pay tax and I choose the option for them to manipulate the customs info (basically they send as gift as opposed to purchase, helps to avoid tariffs, aliexpress does the same thing) Its not the greatest deal but I am getting a phone in Indiana from Thailand and didn't have to fly there personally...
You pay the total fee (phone cost + their service + shipping) all together with paypal. This lets it be under buyer protection... so even if there's a scam.. you can get your money back for the most part from paypal.
Then basically you wait and stay in contact with your forwarder...
for me, mine should reach him Friday then ship after that... about 12 hours ahead.... then he will take to DHL and ship to me... Will have it in hand next week.
They will typically take a picture when they have it in hand before shipping to you as well.
I mean you could probably hop on a plane and get it yourself faster... but that fairly fast.
This is my first time using the service... its fairly legit... like anything, it has good and bad ratings... but with using paypal for payment... it keeps you protected as far as getting what you ordered... I'll let you know once I get it to give my full recommendation and I will even give my forwarder's name so you can look for him if you decide to go that route...
Unless you know someone going there.... I could not find a store shipping overseas.... plus, how legit is it to give over your credit card to a shop in Thailand or Malaysia??? really? This sounds like a much better "safer" method to me! :good: :fingers-crossed:
I already have the Malaysian version .. if there is any questions I will be happy to help .
I'm on 21 version.

Contacts not visible

Hi there,
I am from NZ and I imported a Snapdragon model of Note 20 Ultra 5G from Hongkong or Taiwan. The model number is SM-N9860
I have my contacts saved at either using the country code +64 or by just adding a 0 in front.
In my previous phone, both of these styles just worked fine and the name used to display when someone called me. However, now....it's so random. Some of my contacts call me and all that is displayed is a number. Does anyone have a solution for this annoying problem?
In short, I am needing to edit the contact details of my saved contacts
Thanks

I had this problem when I flashed Firmware CHC (Open China), I believing same is the problem in BRI (Taiwanese) Firmware as well. Flash yourn phone with latest TGY ) Hong Kong firmware and it will be fine.

Thanks a lot for your response. This seems logical as you have correctly identified BRI and all
I am keen on flashing it with TGY Firmware. But before that, I would like to know the possible implications of doing that. And then I would like to know the process if you don't mind please

No problems you will face, not even Knox will trip and void your warranty. Download official TGY from Samfirmware.com and flash it through odin.
Also TGY is a kind of international version like firmware. You'll love it.

I am not a tech-savvy person
What's the difference in TGY and BRI? What would I love about TGY?
And how do I change the firmware. There are not enough tutorials on YouTube
Thanks
