Hello friends, I'm trying to fix up a GT-N8000 for a friend, it's got ZCBLL5 firmware on it(he got it from china somehow). It did not come with the play store(or any google apps), and since he's an apple guy, he turned to me for help. As it's not my tablet, and i haven't messed much with samsung devices, i don';t want to brick it, so i'm turning to the xda community for a bit of help. We're located in canada, however i see there isn't a canadian firmwrae for this variant. Which would be the best region FW to install, and would it mess up the 3g ability, like would it mess up the IMEI or the CSC. Or would i be better off to root and sideload/flash GAPPS? And would the 3g still function here in canada with the chinese FW. Thanks in advance
Well the german firmware is the one which is updated first so I would advice either the German one or the Nordic one, once you do that you will stop receiving OTA and will have to manually update. I am from India and have installed german and Nordic ones cell services just work fine. The issue with IMEI getting messed to my knowledge will happen only with custom roms.
Once you install any of these roms you will get gapps automatically
In Hong Kong D there is no option for LTE and I cant root it with towelroot, in the Taiwan rom I have LTE and it can be rooted. Why is the difference in the two roms?

Hi, did you rooted your D838 HKG 10d phone? I've the same and towelroot doesn't work.
Did you flashed your D838 HKG 10d to e.g. Singapore firmware version? Which root tool you used?

Ok @tainka, last question:
How do you flash your D838 HKG 10d with Taiwanese firmware without root and where you get this Taiwanese 10d rom?
This is my first LG phone so sorry for noob questions.

Thanks for your answer @tainka - again . But, you see, this wasn't last questions - sorry.:crying:.
Could you share this Taiwanese kdz file? On the cloud? Will be great...
Or maybe you can provide exactly name of this file because I found one kdz file with 10d firmware but there wasn't write is this for Hong Kong, Taiwan or Singapore, so I'm scary to flash it.
Or, another question cool, how did you know that this firmware was for Taiwan not for Hong Kong or Singapore? Or maybe you can give me exactly size of this file or md5?
And again Q. When you flashed your Taiwanese firmware over Hong Kong, you are using LG Flash Tool 2014. But when I looked on the first screen of this app I found very scary me option says: CDMA (but not GSM). Why this scary me? Becoz I'm from Poland, and here we only have GSM networks, not CDMA.
My question is: did you use your flashed phone with GSM network or CDMA? Or, maybe you know that this option has no differences with flashing GSM or CDMA network and I should't scare about this?
Sorry for this investigation, but, you know, I don't want to brick my expensive phone...
Edited: 21:20, 16.11.2014.
For someone who want to know and how - I made it.
1. Bought LG G Pro 2 [16GB 838 model] with preinstalled firmware D838v10d-HKG (that's mean Hong Kong). In this software I didn't have LTE working, but I know I should because of this nice piece of hardware.
2. I tried to root my LG by towelroot from beloved @geohot, but it says - "Device not supported"
3. I dug a xda forum and realize, also thanks to answers of @tainka, that maybe, when I change my firmware, I can root my device in simple way? (bcoz is hard way and harder too).
4. So, with heart in mouth I downloaded some kdz firmwares, even didn't know for what country those was, and try to flash...
5. I used great new flashing tool which works with LG G Pro 2 too and flash D83810f_00.kdz file. Newest firmware, but I didn't know for which country it was.
6. After going flash procedure from page above (you should change language for your preferences bcoz if not, you will see Korean signs as communicates) I get phone with 10f firmware with marker D83810f-ESA-XX. AnyOne know for which country it is?
7. After flashing I realized that my Mobile Data not working. GSM/Voice coverage was ok, but connection to Internet was possible only by WiFi.
8. So, I scared and tried back to my 10d version but I didn't have my original kdz file from Hong Kong, only one from Internet, D83810d_00.kdz - this is this name. Of curse, I didn't know for which country it was too.
9. And after second flash I found that this version was for Taiwan - D83810d-TWN-XX, and 4G (LTE) is working in Poland, and, better, now I rooted my LG G Pro 2 by towelroot with one touch!
10. I almost forgot - CDMA in LG Flash Tool 2014 didn't change anything for me. I got GSM network only in my country (and about CDMA network no one heard in Poland), I used CDMA option in LG Flash Tool 2014 and after flash my mobile works in GSM network. Voila.
So, making summary:
Hong Kong version of 10d firmware not working with LTE in Poland, and can't be rooted by towelroot.
And opposite for this, Taiwanese version of 10d working with LTE in Poland and can be rooted by towelroot.
And both can be flashed on my device without scary. Now I know it [emoji14].
Last but not least: thank you @tainka for your help.
I hope this story help someone and prevent from mistakes.

I have LTE on my device, same firmware and version than yours without flashing anything.
You just have to change something on the build.prop once rooted. I read here on XDA the procedure, find out a little bit. Once done, LTE won't show on the settings menu to choose it but device will get LTE and icon on statusbar will show it.

You can try to reflash native baseband of 10d version firmware. But I can't guarantee it help you (bcoz of your country code), and of course, I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.
You can find native baseband file inside archive of Gpro2 CN V6 rom, in ,zip format, ready to flash through recovery - at least, I found it inside that file (Gpro2 CN V6.rar) - you must ask uncle Google. And I flashed it on some v10f rom, and it worked.
But, again, you will do it at your own risk.
And please, report if working!
Hey guys,
I understand that TWN stands for Taiwan, ESA stands for Europe and South Asia, and so on in the firmware number.
But what does 466-92 mean? I read somewhere (can't remember where i stumbled across it) that it means its the global version.
Anybody have a clue about when this device is getting lollipop? Is it possible to flash another region's KDZ over this one?
I have no idea about 466-92, but if you have a D838 device, then yes, you can flash the Taiwan Lollipop rom.
Chungwa telecom 16G Taiwan
I have that rom and im flashed V20C from Taiwan ,everything work fine

Hello!
For starter, I'd like to thank you guys for all the help you provide for this site.
1: My gf's Galaxy C5 Pro just got android 7.0 but only for China (Open China) and Hong Kong and after looking into every update since the phone got released, there are no firmware for any other country (I'm from Romania btw) so naturally I wanna' flash the Hong Kong version (to my knowlege Hong Kong version does have the Google Services, Open China does not have) but I'm a bit scared that if it doesn't work as it should I need a backup. Now there are plenty of site and forums that provide "legit link" to TWRP but they just look kind of suspicious and I don't wanna' brick her phone. So any help guys, I'll apreciate it.
2: About that Hong Kong version, would it work here, in Romania without any signal problem? Like lost or drop signal?
I kinda don't want to wait until Romania firmware comes out (which it might not) cause that could be in like 1 year or so.
Maybe there are people from other country beside those mention above that flashed the Hong Kong version and report how the rom handle and work
Thank you again guys and have a nice day!
pleasee TWRP for SM-C5010
hey
mine is a sm-c5018, but it had the sm-c5010 Marshmallow on it, there was no update option, even smart switch showed its up to date
so i downloaded the sm-c5010 Nougat from here and flashed manually using Odin, Its perfect and no issues so far after three days of use (here in Pakistan)
you can use syncios to backup your data and then flash this, for a phone that just launched recently i wouldn't take the risk of installing recovery or root
hope this helps
best of luck
i need twrp for c5010
TWRP for Samsung C5 Pro
Please create TWRP for Samsung C5 Pro.
