Hello to all.
I bought Galaxy Note 10.1 from Dubai by somebody, when he gave it to me, I found that it's not the UAE version, It's Iranian.
I checked the product code, it was written (THR), I asked Samsung Support, they told that (THR) means Tehran.
I want to change it to UAE version... how can I do it, please ?
As long as it's N8000 (3g) model, these firmware downloads should work.

Not sure if it's safe to flash them over the wifi model. Check your model before doing anything else.
You also need to download ODIN.
http://stockroms.net/file/Tools/ODIN/Odin3v185.zip
Open ODIN and place the firmware you downloaded in the PDA section.
On the tablet press VOLUME DOWN and POWER and hold it till it enters download mode, then press VOLUME UP to continue.
Connect the tablet to the computer via the USB charge cable. You should now see something in the ID:COM section of ODIN.
Press START and wait until it's done.
If I missed something, somebody step in
Thank you for reply
I'm gonna try it
Thanks again.
Hi I have just bought the chinese dual sim galaxy note 2 GT-N7102 mobile phone and i am desperately trying to root it but in order to root it i need to access odin download mode so i can flash. I have tried the standard way of accessing odin download mode which should be: after switching phone off press Volume Down, Home and Power button till warning screen appears and then press Volume Down to enter Download mode but ive tried it and it does not work! Any help would be much appreciated.
Does anyone know anything about rooting this model or accessing download mode on this handset?
here are some information on the phone to help you further:
chinese dual sim galaxy note 2
model number: gt-n7102
android version: 4.1.3
kernel version: 3.0.31
build number: JRO03C.N7102XXALJ1
Also i have realised this phone is wierd it uses mtk65xx usb driver for connection to the pc instead of samsung usb drivers.
Entering factory mode.....
In order to enter factory mode or also maybe known as odin download mode on the chinese dual sim custom made galaxy note 2 follow these instructions:
1. switch phone off
2. keep power button pressed and press volume up key and keep pressing the volume up key until you see download mode onscreen.
Its in chinese but you can pretty much understand the basic stuff like flashing from sd card etc.
Now you can flash custom roms, root etc...
NOTE: THIS PHONE IS CALLED iHKC HERO 2
Thank me if i was helpful!!!
Same problem, unable to put N7102 into download mode

I am also looking for ways to root my dual-sim N7102 (from China) phone. I tried many ways, but cannot put phone into download mode. Following your advice, instead of any download mode, I get into a menu with the following options:
Android System Recovery Utility:
1- Reboot system now
2- Apply update from SSD card
3- Apply update from cache
4- Wipe data/factory reset
5- Wipe cache partition
6- Backup user data
7- Restore user data
However, any option I press, it doesn't do anything and just shows the Android guy on its side with a red triangle and an exclamation mark. I cannot go any further.
I tried ODIN, but it doesn't detect the phone, same with Kies, doesn't recognise the model.
I also use adb reboot download from a command line, but same story, no download is possible.
Any ideas?
To root chinese phones you should try that chinese app that has a hat as an icon, don't remember the name now but it's made for the chinese market and it aurodetects your chinese phone and roots it. Just reply to this thread as i'msubscribed and will check the software name when I'm on the computer! talk later

Thanks, I am trying many rooting kits, but it seems I am always getting stuck when trying to put the phone in download mode, it just refuses to go into download mode. May be this is a special phone, not sure what else I can try, if you find that chinese root let me know, thanks.
Sure man just got it. Its called zhuodashi, download it from their website. You will need pdanet software for the driver and tethering. Please check my posts and see if you can help with my problems cause nobody is answering on this forum.... thanks

I got the way. I ordered the phone and I got a note that stated the steps and download links. Now since I dont have access to post websites here you will need to read it off the attachment.
1)Please open USB DEBUGGING and connect to your PC (Win XP,Vista, 7, 8)
2)Download Snappea from the download link in the attachment. Inside the folder there should be Snappea, Install it and connect phone. Snappea should ask to install an app on your phone, accept it and Snappea should Identify your phone.
3)Go to your Task Manager and Kill the Process called "wandoujai_helper"
4)Go to the folder you downloaded from the link and in the MTK6577 folder open the "MTK6577root.bat" file. The page should look green with chinese letters, Well just press ENTER, then click "Restore my Device." (No need to type password). Then it will reboot 2 TIMES, dont touch it.
5) Check the app drawer for a new app with a # icon. if its there then you got root access.
Now I would recommend to grab a superSU.apk attached and before STEP4, go to the folder and look for those 2 superuser apks and replace the superSU.apk with an english one I attached and then proceed to STEP4. Then it will install in english.
Just as a favor, if you know or learn how to install Clockworkmod or any working Recovery, let me know to [email protected]
It's probably gonna be easier just usingthe soft I stated above.

Thanks both, just tried downloading zhuodashi but McAfee killed it, didn't allowed me to download saying something about a Trojan virus. I will try the other method, thanks.
GT-N7102 backup Needed!!
I am willing to pay someone via paypal, for the person who can upload a full gt-n7102 backup. I bricked my phone trying to install CWM and it is stuck in a bootloop. Please someone just make a backup, may be M5D and just upload it, and send me an email to [email protected] I will pay $20 via paypal... You dont need CWM to make a backup.
Steps:
1)Turn Off Phone
2) Click and Hold the Volume Up+Power Button
3) Once in Recovery Mode, Press HOME
4) Then Backup
5) The "backup" should be in a newly created folder in the SDCARD, just zip it and send it to me.
Since this phone is not that popular it is important that we all keep a backup, online just in case, plus it will help others who bump into this issue. I have searched many forums but nobody has uploaded a full GT-N7102 backup.

Hi,
I think you might have the same problem as I faced. What i eventually figured out is that you need to press the "Menu" capacitive button instead of the power or home button to select an option in this "recovery" mode.

No, I gave up trying, but then realised the phone was already rooted when it came from China. Google Play was not working because the model was not recognised by Google so I couldn't install any apps. I then discovered a little program called APK Installer, which allowed me to install Titanium Backup and then I was able to uninstall all the chinese apps, and then install all other apps this way.
You can search the net for apk apps, there are several sites. The only problem is that I always have to use this method to install apps, but at least it works.

get a fresh DL of your firmware from a reputable source and reflash it in Odin, if that doesnt work, get a fresh DL of Odin. I use sammobile.com/firmwares for my FW's and i use samfirm to download them as they literally go 4 to 5x faster on Frija or SamFirm. Frija and SamFirm are damn near the exact same thing, so its a eenie meenie miney moe thing there. But for sure use one or the other unless you dont care about a 20 min disparity LoL
if the flash with fresh FW and fresh Odin downloads dont work, try a different cable. Then a different computer. I have 7 computers and for whatever reason, one of my lappys just wont link with the target devices very well... not sure why... im sure i just havent made the proper sacrifices to the USB gods on that particular machine. purported deities aside, literally all of whose things could be the culprit... well.... minus the USB gods one, of course

Hi, I'm new here, basically I made this account just to get help. I have the same issue, I bought my S8+ back in 2018 and never received OTA updates automatically, it's still in Nougat. Recently I decided to update the OS to Android 9 based off of Sammobile, the model number is SM-G955FD, in the Service Provider SW ver. it shows SM-G955F only(is this an issue?). I dowloaded the latest firmware for SM-G955FD with csc XTC. Now there is the other thing where the volume up button isn't working due to water getting inside, it still works. The key combination can only get me to recovery mode same with ADB, when I try to reboot to bootloader(OEM unlocked) my phone just restarts, same with ADB reboot bootloader, when I do ADB fastboot it gives a blank response. That being said I can't proceed to flash with Odin, I'm thinking of using ADB sideload but I don't know where to find the zip file or whether it's the same one I downloaded from Sammobile(pretty sure it's not).

in cases such as yours with micro usb equipped samsungs in the past, there was a jig that you could plug in and it would automatically put t he phone into download mode. All the jig did was provide 300k ohms of resistance between 2 of the jumpers inside the micro usb port. I wasnt able to find a type c jig, but there are type c test boards that basically expose every pin in the cable into a nice wide board thatll allow for easy connection between 2 of the jumpers by hand to test it out. I did read somewhere that the newer ones require 301k ohms, but its hard to say. The usb port board is 13 bucks and a resistor is gonna be less than a buck. Maybe worth a shot since the micro usb jigs were gold
also, the only difference between the F and FD firmwares is the D is for dual sim
ich have same problem
Hi, maybe you can help me. I bought on AliExpress a new s10e sm-g970u. It's still on pie (June 2019). When i search for an ota update It doesn't find anything. What i've to do? I've to update It manually? And if yes, which Is the right update unlocked to choose in order to make It works in Italy without problems? And the right update procedure? Thank you for your help
download latest Odin on pc, go to sammobile online put in your model number and find the firmware version you need, download it on pc extract it, you should have four files, ap cp bl csc open odin on pc enter the files you have extracted on pc, plug in phone to pc enter download mode with button combination , power volume up and bixby at the same time or bixby and volume down it might take a few attempts then press start in odin and it will flash your new firmware - make sure you have all the Samsung drivers installed on pc and phone is recognised by pc if all is good there should be a blue box highlighted and in the text box it will say added! or removed if you unplug phone from pc good luck im gathering your not rooted.

First of all thank you very much.
I Hope to choose the right firmware for my phone i don't know which i should choose
if you type in your model number in sammobile page online ie sm- g970f it will bring up a list of all the firmwares for that model ie yours is sm- g960u so type that in i think you can flash any but one specific to your region is obviously best in your phone settings look up model no and software installed and you should be able to tell exactly what file you need
G970U and G970U1 Firmware Links - type in s10e on xda forum scroll down to SAMSUNG GALAXY S10E ROMS, KERNELS, RECOVERIES, & OTHER DEVELOPMENT first post!
My free T-Mobile US Galaxy A32 5G (SM-A326U) is forever stuck in the black "SAMSUNG Galaxy, Secured by Knox, Powered by Android" screen of death.
It has been stuck in this mode for more than a week no matter what buttons I try.
The only thing it will do is go into something called ODIN mode.
Anyone else see this?
Anyone have a solution?
Some particulars:
T-Mobile says it had only a 1-year warranty which expired last April.
It is definitely was set to Developer Options USB Mode = on
Also adb was set to run over Wi-Fi many times on this device
But the PC will no longer recognize it [via USB cable or Wi-Fi]
if you're able to get into Download mode, try out the SamFW FRP Tool. I used it numerous times to get out of the Download mode with the "Software Brick Fix" option
The tool can be dl here: SAMFW Website - SM-A326U
General unlocker has mtk boot repair that will fix it I used a few times the phone is stuck in download or brom mode

Thank you very much for your kind suggestion of using the SamFW samsung firmware site! I was dead in the water without a paddle.
Unfortunately for me, I didn't know about your suggestion at the time and I couldn't do without a phone so I convinced T-Mobile to replace the old phone under extended warranty so I never got the chance to test it out on the old phone.
But with my new replacement Samsung A326U, I tested your kind hearted suggestion above up to the point where Windows 10 Odin burns the downloaded AP, CP, CSC/HOME_CSC & USERDATA firmware onto the phone over the USB cable while the phone is in the blue Odin mode.
To help the NEXT poor soul stuck in my position, I wrote up a User Guide tutorial specifically for the Samsung Galaxy A32-5G over here:
How to un-freeze an unresponsive Samsung Galaxy A32 5G with reboot, reset, factory reset, odin mode, download mode, android recovery mode & debug modeWhich needs a LOT of work to make it useful to everyone but at least your advice kicked that tutorial off so others can benefit from my phone's demise.
One question I would love to ask you about the SAMFW Website - SM-A326U website was that there were too many choices even for my one phone, which was confusing (and, more importantly, scary for a novice).
I have not tried the (seemingly comparable?) Frija & Odin method yet, but what seems to be different upon reading a bit on Frija is that it comes up, on its own, by connecting to the phone, with the "best" firmware for that phone.
Is that a correct assumption on my part about the main difference between Frija & SamFW?
