can install rom on chinese phone?

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.

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.

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.

Help needed

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...

You can't flash this on any other variants as the Korean variant has Snapdragon 800 processor. You may end up bricking your device in the process of flashing incompatible firmwares.

I believe that's the case with most phones, unless they're flagship devices. I'm pretty much done with "romming", though. Changing system fonts was my other pull towards customization/rooting (I absolutely hate Roboto), but thanks to FlipFont and a certain PlayStore application, I can now use whichever font I fancy (without needing to root). I do hope there's a Kitkat update on the horizon, though.

Slowly killing me, seem we are not loved by samsung

Guess it'll not work on N7500 right? I know it wont, but cant do anything else other than to ask you.

Language support??
Is it korean only language or multi?

N750S is the Note 3 Neo model with Snapdragon 800 processor sold only in Korea so ROM cannot be flashed on any other variant of the Note 3 Neo.
Can someone post a change log and some screen shots of ROM to show the changes compared to Jellybean .

[N9005] Claimed to be L for LTE NOTE 3

http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7783856
Check this website in chrome its in Japanese or Chinese so you can translate it, gonna have to test it you guys i have exynos and its up to you guys to try and install
Just wanted to share
Thanks to @Tetraguy

Did somebody found download link ?

The guy i mentioned found this and i'm an exynos user i wish i could test this 4 u but i cant

no download link.....

Like the thread title said "Claimed" maybe download link will be available tomorrow
I'll contact a mod to move this to general section

If i don't understand false, it is an OTA Update. Only the HongKong user can download it.
I don't know, how we can get it. I would like to test it too.
If i don't remember wrong, isn't the HongKong Note 3 different than SM-N9005?
I am sure that in some days, we will get it.

I really dont understand too much too, its an OTA update link will be posted hopefully and the method as for the variant i really dont know :/

There are so much questions. I think so, we have to wait a little bit.
What about BootLoader? What about system partition? The HongKong version has a 16GB internal storage.
Maybe we can make a softbrick. Better wait a little bit.

Untill we are certain and till i can find some link i'll tell ya
But if someone is gonna test this its gonna be someone with a jig just in case it gets bricked

Ugh exynos is N900 not N9005 and currently there is only a leak for exynos users. So fix the title before you get a whole lot of noobs hard bricking their phones because of you.

It is for Qualcomm. Hong Kong SM-N9005 is a Qualcomm Note 3 too.
It has only a little bit different storage structure. The Hong Kong SM-N9005 has a 16GB internal storage. The international SM-9005 has a 32GB internal storage.
I don't know so much about the bootloader, if they have same bootloader or not.

You have to reply to read the rest of conversation aspgjaspogkaèlò i tried to register but it don't let me login

From what I read on their forums, some people got the OTA update on NJ1 firmware while others didn't.

Hide the contents of this post
1: 9005 Hong Kong version has begun to push Samsung 5.0 lollipop, and upgrade ota. Want to upgrade 5.0 9005 oil, you can brush about the latest family of four nj1 9005 twice. Until at odin mode, there is no custom in English, the system will support the ota. In order to upgrade, and wait for a push on the line. The following screenshots have been painted custom official. Popular talk has painted the official system from a third party ROM.
2: About the Hong Kong version 5.0 Push 9005, ordinary engine oil is not recommended blind ota, Samsung upgrades generally can not downgrade. Once 5.0, means that the software is not compatible with all kinds, especially games. So I do not know what they are doing oil caution ota. Oil and recommend future ordinary brush card pack. . . Card brush package will not upgrade bl, so much safer.

The screenshots from the original link in the opening post of this thread clearly show it's running on the N9005, not the N900.

Here are the same news in vietnamese.
So, the OTA is rolling out in HK actually. I can't read vietnamese, but the google translator is showing, that there will be a tutorial soon. But maybe the translator just translated it wrong. xD

Following the N900 has been on the Beta version of Android 5.0 OTA heated SamsungViet our forums for days through the social networking http://bbs.gfan.com/ today 's China is a user owns Galaxy Note 3 ( SM - N9005 ) Hong Kong version was " sucking candy " Lollipop BETA similar to N900 . It can be seen that the Samsung devices are upgraded to the latest version of Android version is sure to be the official Android 5.0 reaches people on the occasion of New Year .
hiepgia Hope he continues to bring a tutorial Up ROM appeal to you to use N9005 !

[Q] Note Edge SM-N915G

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...

Yupp didnt see the firmswares section when i first check, its alive again... now wheres the source

Hello. I bought a Samsung N915G from Saudi Arabia and has not in setting European languages (German, Roamania ...). Please give me details how to proceed to install another version from European soft (N915FY) on my phone. Thank you in advance.

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.
