[Q] Flashing firmwares from other regions in GT-N8000

Hi!
I have a Brazilian Galaxy Note 10.1 (firmware code: ZVV) and I want to install a ROM that I found in sammobilie that has some improvements.
However this ROM is designed for Chile (firmware code: CHO).
The both firmwares seems to be designed to the same region:
My firmware: N8000UBALGA
Firmware that I want to flash: N8000UBALI3
The difference is the CSC.
I have two questions:
1) Is it "safe" to flash this ROM using Odin?
2) How can I know if the new firmware will have support for Brazilian Portuguese?
Thanks,
Ronan

Personally I prefere europian roms (first to get recent updates and have some good samsung apps not avaliable on other countries ) so you can download the Rom from Portugal and flash via Odin , it is safe and you won't lose your waranty. And about Chile , if its native language is Portuguese then its Rom will support portuguees for sure .

The language in Chile is not Portuguese, also Portuguese from Portugal is quite different from Brazilian Portuguese.
However in my Brazilian ROM, I have option to select almost all languages in System configurations.
I'm just wondering if the ROM from Chile will also have this option...

So best idea is to go back to sammobile, find your stock rom and have that as a backup in case you decide you need to go back.
The only way you'll know for sure is to try it...

Ok, but it won't brick my device right
Also, I'm not sure what options do I need to set in Odin.
I saw some sites saying to do not mark Repartition. Is it right?
Thanks,
Ronan

Ok, I have flashed the firmware from Chile (CHO) without any problems.
It was almost the same... I only saw one difference: in S Note, you have a scroll bar.
Thus, I flashed my original ROM again (Vivo ROM, ZVV).
Afterwards I had a little problem with Kies. The installed ROM is really ZVV (I checked with *#1234#), but Kies was showing that I had a CHO ROM and that an uptade through Kies is not possible. I tried everything, factory reset, cache wipe, reflash the ZVV ROM, but nothing fixed the problem. Then I realized that the problem was not with my Galaxy Note, but with Kies itself. I uninstalled it and used a register cleanner to remove all entries related to Kies. Then I installed Kies again and the problem was finally fixed!! I think that Kies stored my device information with CHO ROM and did not uptade CSC when I plugged it with the ZVV ROM.
Thanks,
Ronan

Cool, glad everything went well.
Rule of thumb for ODIN, everything is set up when you start ODIN. All you need to do is add the files you wish to flash. Don't change any other settings and,generally, all will be well... There's always a chance of a bad flash but most times it's user error rather than anything else. It can also be a ba download of the flash file. If you have an MD5 checksum for the update, use an MD5 checker app to ensure the flash file isn't corrupted. This will lessen the chance of a failed flash...
Cheers mate...

if I flash a ROM from another country, will I lose apps and settings?
PS: I anot rooted, so I cannot make backups with titanium

Depends on the update... I'v had updates that wipe ALL data then I've had others where the data is still there... I tend to find its a roll of the dice every time. This is why I root my device....
I updated one just recently, the Oz rom, and it left all data intact however it is better to clear all data otherwise you might have a problem with the new rom and old data causing issues...

My firmware: N8000ZCCMD2 4.1.2
Firmware that I want to flash:Android 4.1.2 XXCMA2 Firmware Details: is that suitable pls help

Flash a different carrier's KitKat 4.4.2 on N8000
Hi! My tablet (N8000) has the 4.1.2 version, and I don't think any KitKat update will come soon, because the device code is SEK (Ukraine / Kyivstar) and you know the situation there.
Therefore I decided to upgrade via Odin to the 4.4.2 official version from Poland, at least. Or any other country that already has the update.
Will I encounter any problems if flashing the ROM from another country? I know the answer is pretty straight forward that everything should be fine, but still, better ask.
Thank you!

[Q] Tried to root Korean SM-P900; now stuck in reboot loop

Hi,
I have a Korean SM-P900 that I tried to root with CF AutoRoot using Heimdall. I identified the recovery and cache partitions using print-pit, then flashed the recovery.img and cache.img to their respective partitions. After that it started booting, and was stuck at the Samsung screen for several minutes.
I then rebooted it by holding down the power button. When it was booting back up, it showed a message in Korean and with a counter that counted up to 79, then showed a similar message counting up to another number. It kept doing that no matter what, never booting up, even if I rebooted it again.
After that I tried flashing it again the same way. Now it shows the same message as earlier, but actually boots into the Samsung initial setup screen. However, I can't get past it, because a message showing "MyScript ResourceManager", followed by some Korean text, blocks me from doing anything, and if I hit okay it just reappears.
Any ideas on how to unbrick it?

Try going into recovery and do a Full reset. If that doesn't work, download the Korean firmware (or whichever version you want, as long as it is SM-P900) and flash back to stock using Odin. Messing with partitions using Heimdall can be tricky and dangerous if you don't have a PIT file for your device. Hope this works for you.

Going into recovery and doing a reset fixed the problem. Thank you very much!
The reason I didn't flash back to stock earlier was because I couldn't find the Korean stock firmware anywhere, and I was unsure if I could flash another country's firmware to it without breaking something. Nice to know that I can.
Now that it's functional again, will it be okay to try to root it again, this time using Odin?

Yes, flashing another region is ok, but you may have issues with keyboard languages and wifi channels being different. Yeah just use Odin for CF-Autoroot. You can download a recovery image to flash if it gets stuck on cache.img. It's in the cf-autoroot thread for the 12.2. Best to read the entire thread before you start. Good luck.

Galaxy S6: Flash 6.0.1 [QUESTION]

Dear people of the internet,
I am proud to represent the few countries that remain untouched regarding the OTA update on the SM-G920F.
I'm wondering since I've not gotten the update, if I could flash it and it would be like a normal Over The Air update process?
I do not want to trip the Knox counter since I'd like to sell the phone in the future or just be covered by my warranty.
So. TLR, Can I get the 6.0.1 update like OTA but flashing it? Will it void my warranty? Will it trip knox counter? Will it automatically
become rooted(something I don't want)?
I've heard some people getting fail in Odin(hidden.img), how can I prevent that if I do flash it?
Thanks in advance

TLDR: yes, no, no, no

usually flashing a stock rom via odin does not trip your knox, except if then you flash a custom rom and then install superSU.. btw YES, if you flash MM via odin will work as an "OTA"

I tried to flash stock to my s6 and it failed and the knox counter went up so voided the warranty it's a brand new phone not happy wanted three stock on the phone now it's not covered not amused tbh can't even root the phone tried pingpong root failed android l knew what I was trying to do . So yes even if u flash with odin the counter will go up I wouldn't risk it tbh

Thank you, I won't flash because of you.

Personally it's up to you but flashing a stock rom won't trip Knox. I flashed a stock FW to remove bloat and everything was absolutely fine.
I'll be flashing a stock 6.0.1 as soon as I can actually find one on here.

Cheers for future updates dude but I was doing some chores anyway so I just waited
Just powered up from the update, like the new ui, no visible problems so far :good:
---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------
So to answer the previous question,
1. Download the French XEF rom, extract the rare file to somewhere you can find it.
2. Fire up Odin on your PC.
3. Click on the AP setting and select your extracted file.
4. Put your phone in download mode and connect it to your pc via USB.
5. Wait for your phone to be recognised and press start in Odin.
6. Wait until Odin is completely finished and your phone reboots, this takes a while, don't panic just wait patiently.
7. Disconnect from PC and enjoy.
My phone is the SM-G920F variety, which I had previously debranded from 3 mobile.
I put the language setting to French for the update and switched it back after, no idea if this was important, just read some guy said he did it in another thread. I doubt it's necessary.

Did you do a factory reset before updating? Did you backup anything, and if so, how can I do that?

You didn't have to do anything with a pit file?
Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G920F met Tapatalk

I already posted every step I took from beginning to end.
There weren't any hidden steps, I didn't factory reset, I didn't flash any other files. I lost no data and I'm still on BTU.

I'm sorry, but, do I need to download the French version?

It's unbranded.
It's makes no difference at all, just change the language back to whatever afterwards. I'm in the UK and it works flawlessly.

Try to use Smart Switch

Just plug the phone to PC in download mode and rescue it via Smart Switch. It'll download the right firmware for your device and flash it automatically.
Here's how you can do it;

How did it go?
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

First of all, thanks for the help! i went with the smart switch but i'm stuck on a problem.
it asks me the serial number of the mobile, since i dont have the box with me how can i find out the serial number?
i used the volume up - home - power on button, i went to the recovery mode. wipe data etc doesn't work (i knew this already).
but i went to recovery mode to go into the logs and try to find the serial number. i did find "ro.serialno= xxx"
tried this one but got "invalid serial" ... where can i find the correct one?
lucky me.
Ps. stock original samsung with android 5.1

Good morning! Anyone? Help? (...)

Flashing a stock firmware will not void your warranty, unless you Knox has already been tripped IMHO

the easiest solution sounded like using smart switch. however since i don't have access to the serial (arggh.. the most simple thing ever) i can't use it.
I am going to try to go with prince mohit advice.
problem 1:
in sammobile.com i can't find firmware for G920F with bootloader G920FXXU3C0I9 (the one i have on my phone)
i have to use this one or can i use other?

on samfirm i found:

. [FULL] Galaxy S6 - G920F : G920FXXU3COI9/XSE - Android 5.1.1 | 12/25/2015
which one should i go? i am sorry for asking so many questions but i dont want to brick my phone :\

Going to download this 2 files. they look like the correct ones to me:

Lost IMEI after flashing ROM, can't get it restored

Well... I've been an idiot.
I recently rooted my Galaxy S7 device whilest scanning the xda threads for a custom ROM.
I flashed Lineage OS 15.1 custom ROM. Everything awesome so far. Except... I didn't like the visual estate of the ROM.
So next step, I flashed the Superman ROM 3.0.1 FINAL. this is where things went wrong.
When i booted up my phone after flashing Superman ROM I lost my IMEI & baseband (both say "Unknown").
I tried to flash stock ROM and ended up with 2 "unknown" IMEI's whilest my phone is a single SIM device.
After that I wiped the lot, flashed Lineage again and still no luck. Although with lineage I have my single IMEI which is still "Unknown".
I've tried flashing stock the correct stock roms but whenever I try to flash the via Odin I get a fail after "sboot.bin".
Odin won't go any further.
So in short, I currently have my device unlocked, rooted, with lineage OS15.1 but no cell service due to
IMEI and baseband being "Unknown".
Any idea's how to fix this?
I've tried the guide with the title "[GUIDE] How to fix IMEI / DRK issues [ALL MODELS][COMBINATION UPDATE 03 NOV 2017]"
But no luck. I can't flash stock firmware due to fail after "sboot.bin" both with stock firmware and the combination file
given in the thread.
Now as part of me being an idiot, I have not made an EFS or baseband backup, nor have I got a Smart Switch backup.
I'm also not capable of finding a person with the Z3Xbox.
Kind regards!

Did you try this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/guide-how-to-fix-efs-damaged-samsung-t3850032

Thanks for the reply! Yes,I've tried that guide too. Problem is that I can't flash anything but twrp through Odin. All the rest fails at "sboot.bin". I'm still trying to download latest stock firmware but all the sites are sooooo slow if you don't pay premium... So I'm still waiting for that file to download. I've tried to flash older stock firmware but didn't get past " sboot.bin" and I've read somewhere that since Oreo Samsung doesn't let you flash old firmware on the phone. So that is at the moment my only hope that I can think of.

Make sure you have the latest version of Odin...you can use updato for faster downloads

I've used different versions of Odin (v3.12, v3.13, v3.11) and I can only download at 50kb/s with updato. They changed there policy. Donate for premium download speed.
I also went to a repair shop today to ask if they knew any solution. The repair guy I talked to didn't know what root or rooting was so that's a dead end...

Oh ok I am kinda running out of ideas I didn't know updato changed their policy....there is a thread on the forum with the stock roms that people shared you might get better speeds using that...also one last thing you can do is use smart switch there is an option for firmware recovery or something like that try that and see

Thanks for helping though! Every helping hand is welcome! Smart switch recognizes my phone but if I select to recover firmware it doesn't recognize my phone because of the lost IMEI. So downloading to recovering stock firmware from samsung is difficult!

Jep, exact version that I used. I have a Samsung galaxy S7 unbrandend from Belgium. (SM-G930F)

Just read through your post again the superman rom is using the new bootloader 3 and as far as I know you can't downgrade to a bootloader 2 do you get a binary error in odin when you flash? Just trying to figure out what is going on when it stops at sbin
This is the latest rom for your country I know is branded as you can see but is the new bootloader 3 ...G930FXXS3ERI1 - GALAXY S7 SM-G930F PRO BELGIUM (PROXIMUS)
Found it on Sam mobile did you flash that one?

That's what I was thinking. I've read the exact same thing yesterday. So I started downloading the firmware you just mentioned and the PHN Netherlands one. If one fails I've got another to try. Problem is, with those magnificent download speeds, it takes 24hours to download one of them (yeeeey 50kb/s!!!!!) It should be on my hard drive by tomorrow.
I'll keep you posted if this gets me past the Odin troubles!
I really appreciate you thinking along with me good sir! Thanks for your suggestions!

I did exactly the same mistake as you (Lineage, Superman ROMS) and even bricked it trying to fix it!
The reason for that error code in my experience was that I was attempting to put the original firmware on the phone. Thanks to XDA forums and about a week of reading I realised that I had the Oreo ROM on the phone before all this happened, so I did what the poster above recommends and used the latest Odin and the latest firmware for your country from Sammobile. Bam! My S7 is running better than ever!

The reason for that error code in my experience was that I was attempting to put the original firmware on the phone. Thanks to XDA forums and about a week of reading I realised that I had the Oreo ROM on the phone before all this happened, so I did what the poster above recommends and used the latest Odin and the latest firmware for your country from Sammobile. Bam! My S7 is running better than ever!

You guy's are all amazing! Thank you so much!
Today I had the chance to flash original firmware to my phone. Flashed latest stock firmware from Holland (because Belgium firmware was branded and my S7 was unbranded).
Rebooted the phone, filled in the start menu's went in to settings and BAM, lost IMEI was lost no more!
Inserted my SIM card and had 4G connection! I didn't even had to flash the COMBINATION file.
I learned from my mistakes and immediatly flashed TWRP and made an EFS en IMEI backup!
Again, thank you so much good sirs! You guys really helped me not to lose hope!

Glad you fixed your phone hopefully this will help other people

Absolutely my pleasure! This site has taught me so much, it's great to give a little back.

Hi diSke, Did you find any solution for your IMEI issue, as i also faced same issue and lost IMEI after flashing Superman ROM, and faced same issue. Please let me know steps if you resolved the issue. Thanks in advance.

Flash the latest version firmware for your region/network provider. IMEI restored.

Earlier i was trying to flash via wrong Odin version 3.14. But after using Odin 3.13 version the latest firmware was successfully flashed and IMEI is restored back successfully. Thanks a lot for your help.
