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

CHN
DonToro thank you for the link, but I read that in the name of Rom there is CHN, may be it is chinese version?
At the moment my tel has: MT7-TL10V100R001CHNC00B122SP06 (updated via OTA).
Are you trying to install the chinese version too? why? is there any european version?
thank you

Hi.,
I have Samsung A3 (SM-3000) from bought from mainland China and trying to add google play shop & services on the phone without success. Each time after installation, google services just gives error message and stops. I've already learned that this is due to chinese software on my phone and therefore it must be rooted.
I've tried several different rooting software already now without success and each time rooting is starting ok, but then after 15 secs some error message comes to phone and in chinese of course... Problem might be with locked bootloader, i guess?? How to unlock this damn phone, anyone?? Plz help.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. I can't find any specific root methods for your device. You could try this, http://www.xda-developers.com/root/
Good luck!
Solved

After flashing resetting the phone with stock recovery and reboot. It used to have only 3 languages, chinese, english & korean, now i have all the languages, all google apps and everything is same as phone was purchased from EU or so. And those Baidu, weibo etc. are missing. Me so happy...
and yes, if you plan to do this as well, please remember to take backups before you start the process. I didn't...
Glad you got it working!

Hi.
Having gone through a lot of searching, downloading etc, the phone I bought from an online shop is based in Hong Kong. I have an LG G4 H815T which I have been told by LG is derived from HK so is localised there, which means some android apps wont work here in the UK.
I flashed a rootedsystem last night successfully from the tomes of your great site and was wondering if the same could be done to flash a rom image local to a European one. At the moment I have software version V10c-HKG-xx android 5.1 but not sure if I can ever become re-nationalised as it were.
Would a flash of a Cyanogenmod do the trick or is this not possible to achieve ?
Thanks for any help.

Hi there.
I´ve some trouble with my new J7 Pro.
I bought it in United Arab Emirates.
The version of this stock rom have some apps what it´s not working on my country (Portugal).
So what I did was, I´m going to the Updato.com to download the correct Rom for my country.
The problem comes now.
After flash that stock rom via Odin and boot for the first time the main language is from Magyar (it´s supposed to be Portuguese).
and after all the start configuration when it goes to the "homescreen" it appears with some apps from that country, useless on my country.
Can anyone help me?
What should I do?
One more time!!!!!
This forum is "very helpfull"!
