[Q] Stock ROMs and country? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is the difference between the countries in the stock ROMs?
My wife and I both bought the N7100. Mine was Hungarian, hers French (according to the manuals). But both are working fine in The Netherlands with the language set to Dutch.
She's gotten the update to 1.4.2 (non-rooted ) and it seems to be French still (N7100XXDLL4 N7100OXADLL4).
Can I put any ROM on my (rooted) phone (N7100XXALJ1 N7100OXXALJ1), or do I need to get one from the same region?

You can install any region firmware, though you may get a slight difference in signal strength apparently. Though if your wife is already using the French and she has no issues, go for it

Thanks.
I'll try that one.
That is, if the download is working

The modem is the main difference (if any) ... which you can always flash from a stock rom from your actual region over the other region's rom (if required)

Hi,
I have the same question regarding this issue.
Recently my mother bought me a Note2 as a gift in Singapore.
Once I started using it, I found stock app like Singtel which is the telco in singapore, But I have no use of it.
I am currently reside in Brunei. I wish to flash everything stock without any telco apps. How should i do it?>
Thank you.

Download unbranded ROM from here (like Indian ROM) and flash

If you just want to remove some application only without flashing ROM, you can use system appl remover(needs root)

French ROM is installed with mobile ODIN and it seems to work perfectly.
The phone felt laggish, but it's getting better.
Only those damn *HUBs that came with the ROM...

[Q] English (United States) on Singapore One X?

Hey Guys,
I am sorry for all of the n00bish questions lately, though I have the Singapore HTC One X running 1.28.707.10, and was wondering what the easiest way of getting a more common English variant on the device would be?
English (Singapore) and all of the other Asian English variants affect predictive text on the keyboard, which is why I am wanting a ROM with English United States, United Kingdom or Australia etc.
It is my understanding that I cannot put ROMs such as this one on the device (Europe 1.28.401.9), due to the devices CID?
Any help would be appreciated, there must be other people out there in the same situation? Is there a good custom ROM out there that is compatible with the Singapore version, and has a more common English variant?
aufens
I have a similar problem with mine saying English (France). Tho, I don't have any predictive text issues to speak of. I posted antutu benchmarks and got a French flag.
All roms available in dev section works in Asian firmware variant. I'm currently in 1.28.707.10 also and I've tried 5 different roms already which are based on Europe firmware 1.28.401 and got no problem flashing those.
Most of them english(uk) but team pkmn Rom also got english(us).
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
You can install apps to change location.
Like MoreLocale2, or LocaleSwitch, and set you locale.
Works for me.

That doesn't solve the keyboard predictive text issue though.

Flash Polish device to UK firmware?

Hi guys, sorry if this is a dumb question but not used HTC device since WinMo days so kind of lost.
My Dad bought this device cheap but its in Polish, I changed the language but I want to flash UK firmware on for him. He wont be needing root or custom kernel etc so just want to know the easiest method of getting stock UK rom on for him?
Thanks in advance.
Flash an EU RUU.......that should probably do the trick
Make sure it's software version is more than your current rom

[Q] Galaxy Note 2014 (china firmware help)

Greetings, few days ago I was in China and bought GN 2014. As most of you know in China they block access to play store and install their own firmware. I already rooted my device, and was wondering how I can enable all languages, because currently, there are 3 languages. And also, How to install play market on it. I tried downloading apk. file, but its not working (Installed but won't open)
Help please. (Sorry if this question is too noobish)
I think that the device then has no Google license, making it impossible. There are only the various other stores.
This is definitely the case with exotics, like car stereos(Parrot Asteroid). In this case theres probably a solution, which of course requires root.
Why don't you try to flash with ODIN some of the official ROMs ? Then you will have no need of ROOT and will have all the languages. What is the model name exactly ?

Flashing an other stock firmware works fine I did it on mine.
But expect some little lag there wasn't on the chinese firmware.
I'm in China too and am considering buying the Note 10.1 so I'll be facing the same problem.
With a Chinese friend's Asus Transformer Prime, I flashed an official Taiwanese ROM so that she could access Google Play, but with this method you no longer get OTA updates. Also, as mickmad noted above, you can sometimes get unpredictable performance issues if you use ROMs intended for another region. Only later did I find that you could just install the necessary Google apps while keeping the original ROM. Here's a method devilfun here on XDA used for the Prime, perhaps it will work with the Note:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21094128&postcount=11
The .rar referenced was a package of Google apps, I think. I haven't checked the package myself, but note that you probably need GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Googleloginservice.apk in addition to the obvious ones. Simple_noob may have been unsuccessful for any one of several reasons:
1. The apks were copied to the wrong location before installation.
2. Not all the necessary apks were copied.
3. The necessary file permissions were not set.
If you can work it out, let us potential Note buyers in China know how you did it!
Well when i said more lag I meant that other region firmwares have all the samsung apps which tends to produce some little lag (where chinese firware has only a limited part of these samsung apps.)
Really no big deal as it will be corrected in future versions I am sure (see the example of mk1 firmware for p600)
Not sure for OTAs thought, but i never waited for them anyway on my other devices.
And just to got the samsung keyboard (and not the one for chinese which is different) it already worst the change .... plus getting rid of chinese useless apps, some settings which weren't in english even the language was set to english ... choice between almost any language ... and so on
Thanks a lot to everyone who replied and helped.

Just follow these steps :
1, Download any region / country rom from this link , preferable MJB being the latest. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P601.
2. Extract the downloaded zip file.
3. Extract the attached odin 3.09.
4. Enter download mode by pressing power+volume down , then volume up.
5. Connect your PC/Laptop to your Note , wait till the com port turns blue.
6. Flash the .tar file of the rom through "AP" & hit start.
7. Wait till flash is complete, & note restarts.
8. You now will have a working PLAY STORE.
other download links or torrents for official firmware
Great info supplied in the above posts ! I also currently have a P601 bought in China and would like to change the firmware but the rapidgator and terafile links aren't working so well for me.
Terafile now has a limit of one Gig for free users and rapidgator downloads keep failing mid way.
Does anyone have any torrent links or other download links for the official firmware?
Thanks in advance.

S4 Mini i9195 Stock Firmware KK?

I can't find a STOCK FW for the i9195. By stock, I mean something without a carrier name at the end, when surfing sammobile.com. To be more specific, I'm looking for the latest (4.4.2) FW with Romanian (XXUCNEA or something similar) and stock.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

For now there is no version for ROM
Only Vodafone Romania,
Only nonbranded one is Spain, New Zeland , Slovakia , Germany
In that case, can Romanian be added later?

U mean language ? or ROM firmware version
If u mean firmware u have to ask samsung WHEN they will release for other countries
If u mean language, Romanian is available in all versions i think
Here's the thing: the phone was just purchased from Orange and I'm not conforable with the bloatware. I was looking for the latest KK clean ROM and I settled with the Spain version.
What I'm asking now is offtopic and it's about a way to CLEAN flash a ROM. I was wondering about this when a problem occured with the signal. It kept droping and I read it had something to do with the firmware.
So, is there a way to clean flash a ROM on a Samsung?

Can I flash firmwares from another region?

Hello, so recently I got the A3 and noticed it's from Italy (language of first boot, manuals etc), however I'm in Greece... Normally this shouldn't affect Anything (and plus it's nice that Italy got Feb 2018's patches while Greece is still on Jan 2018's) however there is one app that installed its Italian variant that wouldn't work in Greece so I had to download the app from the play store (Samsung members) and some regional settings that defaulted to Italy. Sim works fine and stuff but I'm wondering if this will affect something... Anyway the model is SM-A320FL and it's unlocked... Can I flash Greece's firmware on it? It currently has ITV firmware... Also, which variant of the Greek firmware is suitable for an unlocked phone (The EUR one I imagine)
Also, will this void the warranty
UPDATE: I flashed the greek firmware, however after being disappointed that a lot of features, mainly in the camera app were absent, I decided to reflash italy's firmware and lo' and behold all my regional settings problems were fixed! Turns out that the Sim card fixed everything... I didn't have a Sim at the time of first getting this phone so it was sort of half Italian half Greek... Moral of the story... If you set up a phone from a foreign country, for the love of God do it with your sim card in the phone! For some reason Samsung pay is in italian but that's ok I'm too young to use Samsung pay, much less a credit/debit card anyway...
