[Q] GT-N7100 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i have this phone...
GT-N7100
Android: 4.1.5
Baseband: N7100ZCALH3
Kernel: 3.0.13-93991
Build: JRO03C.N7100ZCALH40
The GPS do not work and i want to install another rom.(i think it has something to do with the rom, its a china rom i think.)
Downloaded Odin Mobile and i get an error : A compatible device was detected but with an unexpected partition layout. Mobile odin cannot operate. This is a common error on CM and MIUI ROMs on some devices
I have never tried flashing a rom to a android phone before, and must say i am pretty "green"..
I really hope on some help
If you need additional info, i will provide anything you need... JUST want this phone to work 100%

Android 4.1.5?

I live in Shanghai and the last time I saw a Android 4.1.5 was on a fake Galaxy S3.
If it's a fake Note2 there's nothing XDA can do for you.

I want to flash firmware 4.2+ from 4.1.9 gt n7100 built cnanzhi Samsung made by Korea
I root with kingo because cannot enter dload mode. Then I install mobile Odin
And it says ..but with an expected partition layout. How I going to solve this

I think that in practice what you are trying to do is install a ROM that is made for SG Note 2 to your phone, that's not a Note 2... Hopefully it gave an error and it wasn't possible because if your phone did flash the ROM, I think that you would end up with a bricked China Note 2 instead of a working one

Mine is I think original Samsung Galaxy Note II or the least recond bcoz I checked at the back Samsung made in Korea assembled in china and comes with warranty. And FYI I would like to flash cwm ROM and flash 4.2+ like jellybean or kitkat sir but I just can't enter download mode but I didn't yet used adb download mode bcoz its very big to download man.half a gig.Thanksgiving

4.1.5. Isn't it a fake phone?

Flashing a different country official Samsung ROM through ODIN without any problems?

I have a Hong Kong Galaxy Note II, and I want to flash the official UK ROM on it.
I know the phone should work fine, however I want to know whether desktop Kies will recognise it as an official firmware and be able to receive future updates.
Basically, I want to convert a Hong Kong Galaxy Note II to a factory UK Galaxy Note II and be able to receive future updates through Kies as if it were a UK Note II.

No, Kies will not update your firmware if you have firmware installed that is not specificaly for your country/region. You have to do upgrades manualy with Odin.

Then you would have to change the product code, but why would you. Flashing a rom with Odin takes about 5 minutes mate, and is safer and better than Kies (wich is crappy software)

How can I change the product code to the UK unlocked version? The only reason I prefer Kies is so I can sell the phone at a later date on eBay without running into any problems, as it will be exactly the same as the UK version (if that makes sense)
Google it or search the xda forum.

I honestly had a look, but I can't find much information on it at all. Does changing the CSC also change the product code?
What if you flash different country ROM with odin? Will you have some problems with it. will you have some problems with radio or with something else because it's a ROM from another country?

Once if you have got the courage to install from odin, don't think you will ever need to wait for an official update for your region

[Q] Flash SM-T210 firmware on SM-T210R hardware

Now, I looked everywhere and both models are Galaxy Tab 3 Wi-Fi
Looks like it is the same hardware so maybe the only difference is the language content...
If it is not possible or too risky to flash 210 firmware on 210R hardware, any way to add any additional display languages?
doing this for a friend, so any help is higly appreciated

You can flash the T210 firmware, but will lose the T210R only features (IR blaster).

I see, what if I only add the Portuguese-Brazilian display language, I know that I will need to root the device probably, is there a way to extract it from a T210 image or get somewhere else?

The update is not released to all regions at once. You can update manualy by downloading original Samsung stock ROM from SamMobile and flashing it via Odin if you don't want to wait...

Ditto Note 3 for those Note 3 spen features. Download ROM for 4.3 if u want stock ROM. Any country SHOULD work. (Just make sure the frequencies for Telstra and the ROM u download is correct.) (PM for in depth explanation )
Smack that thanks button If I helped!
Always make a nandroid backup before trying anything risky.
I do respond to questions (most) via PM.

Nope, its hardware/model is different. if you do it, it will BRICK your phone, install Rom for correct device
Why would you risk bricking your phone by installing a different phone's firmware onto it only to get the camera? I suggest you to check out the thing called PLAY STORE, it has dozens of decent camera apps.
i don't think it will break it they are at the same clock speed even i can install the kernel of my mobile only the newer version of software and the new apps that's all i need and all cameras in PLAY STORE u mentioned SUCK

It won't work bro... The best you will get is Odin will refuse to flash it (because of different device signature) or if you manage to flash it then it won't boot (because of VERY different hardware) and the worst thing is after flashing you corrupted everything in your phone beyond repair, not even fixable.
It's like trying to fill your car with airplane petrol, not gasoline, and expect it to work. No, it will damage your car beyond repair.
Be safe bro, try not to do anything illogical like this... Even though we do not want your device get damaged, we still can't force you to NOT do it. Flash at your own risk, because we do not take responsibility.

Mind your language bro
And don't try it if the devs are telling you not to.
After that if you want to flash it, then do it but at your own risk

It won't work either... because Grand 2's camera is made by Android 4.3 API, and thus it won't work on our Grand's stock firmware 4.2.2. Better to wait someone port it...

You can't ever flash it unless and until the signature is for galaxy grand. ODIN will always reject it,
If you backed up your camera app, there must not be any app or nobody has posted it yet, wait for someone to port it

If you want an awesome (plastic) brick to use as a paperweight you may go ahead

Like @naufalhadyan mentioned you will most probably HARD BRICK your phone
