China is a very tricky place to buy gadgets if you live there. I had the same problem with my first galaxy tab, and thats when i got aquatinted with XDA since then. No problems with S3's and Note 2's as you can find them rooted with proper ROM's even at the stores here.
I got my hands on the Note 8 as soon as it came, and there is not much happening in the development area so far. I have achieved Root, but failed to flash anything, as there is only 1 German ROM available. Anybody who can contribute in giving ROM and CSC solutions for expats living and working in China would be appreciated and properly thanked
take a look at the sammobile site, and be aware that the device is classed as a phone there.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
There are a ton of stock ROMs for a lot of markets for the N5110. I don't know if there are as many for the device you have, which I think is a 5100?

Thank you for your suggestion. Yes i got the N5100 and sammobile is great. However it is blocked in China, and can be accessed only through VPN. Same like sites like hot file.com etc...
Therefor this website is a perfect haven for us who reside in China. If we would have more links here would be very helpful..
Unfortunately, the files are are huge (the stock firmware is a 1.1 gig file) so uploading and hosting is a chore.
If you had a copy of the play store would it work?
There are copies of the play store all over the place. I'd think you could extract the APK that's used with CM10 and install that, as long as you had root.

Holy cow, you flashed the whole of the CM10 gapps?
I was thinking you'd pull the play store APK out and install it after rooting your device - but great to know the whole thing can be installed.

Yes. Joyful surprise
I have a Korean version of Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T210L and lots of korean language bothers me very much....
May I flash it with firmwares for SM-T210 but avoiding bricking it?
Or maybe there are working CWM or TWRP for this device at least?
I have the same Korean SM-T210L version and tried the firmware available for SM-T210. It didn't work, it hangs upon booting, showing the Samsung brand. I'm still looking for a solution.

I second that. We could really use a working 4.2 build!
#3 and #4: Since my SM-T210L is no longer working (after installing the SM-T210 firmware), I guess it would be of little use if I upload a system dump from my device. Please advice, I am lacking of experience.

hmmm. another dirty trick by samsung. They fail to provide stock firmware to lots of devices. If the other guy responds I could help get the tab up and running. If it's partitions as I imagine stock would just be system and boot . My Galaxy Exhibit t599 was the same way without factory images

Doesn't KIES provide an "emergency" restore? If not all the more reason for you to try and get a system dump . Maybe you know someone who has a working tab? (Korean tab models aren't very common here in Berlin... )

No, unfortunately KIES is not capable of updating the firmware. It seems the SM-T210L model is not supported, too bad. Thank you anyway for the suggestion!

New Tab update
Hi all,
My kid was given a korean SM-T210L version Galaxy Tab 3, the android version installed on the tab is 4.1.2; unfortunately it does not allow me to upgrade any further. is there a root version that will allow me to update the operating software.
I have never rooted a phone or a tab before therefore will really appreciate any assistance.
Thanks,
Zach

To restore original version 4.1.2, I used below link.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zwvavvfWEMvzSMMc970N_uIsgrdn1bag
I tried twice with Odin 3.09, my tab was restore. For first fail, I don't know why to fail. But in second try I was working.
I wish that it will be helpful for you.
Also I am looking for upgrade version 4.2.
Solved - Rooted SM-T210L
(sorry to new to the forum to post actual links - reply if you need them)
I was able to root my SM-T210L using the same method that everyone else is posting, Odin (version 3.12.3 in my case) and using this compressed file T210.TWRP.2.8.0.0.tar.md5 You also have to copy SuperSU to your tablet (either on a SD Card or through a USB cable onto the device memory directly) search for SuperSU
Here are the instructions (most complete in my view) that seemed to be able to work for me. Go to droidviews site and search on the model to find the instructions.
Even though the image file does not have the model SM-T210L specifically, I did not have any problems with it and was able to root it successfully. I then was able to delete all of the bloatware that came with the tablet, especially all of the Korean based applications that I can't use.
Is there anyone who still have the SM-T210L firmware? Please give links for download.

So, ok...I've got N-5100 with original soft: 4.1.2 Android version, N5100XXBMC89 modem, XXBMD1 version number.
There was an update do 4.2.2 but not in my country (Poland). I know that I can make manual update, but my question is: is the 3g will be working? From which country should I choose an update?
Will be glad for ANY help.
Thank You.

Ok, my N5100 had the same modem/software as yours. I rooted with CF-Auto-Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291839. Next, using odin, I flashed PhilZ Touch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552657 to get a custom recovery. Last, using PhilZ, I flashed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2407752.
Everything went very smooth. It was the easiest root and upgrade I have done. I ended up with stock-rooted 4.2.2. 3g works great on AT&T and phone reception is also very good.
Read the instructions in each of the forums and be careful that you download the correct files. For example, PhilZ has a file for the N5100 as well as the N5110.
Hope this helps.

Thank you a lot! Everything seems to be OK.
I flahed this rom http://electron-team.com/dn4.html on my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 and i loved it! smooth and fast. but i cant find a radio/modem thats compattible with it. i practically did everything trying to make it work: extracting modems from other stock firmwares, flashing UCUCNE5 modem, restoring efs back ups...
i dnt knw if its the 4.4.4 version, but i guess its for the GT-N7100 only.
so an patiently waiting and hoping for the devs to make this rom available for us i317 users
if there any any thoughts about the DN4 rom for sgh-i317, post them here :good:
Ok man. Sounds great.
I'm about to think that all Galaxy Note are the same expecting Radio firmware. Gonna give it a try on the n7105.
:laugh:
Ok I tried it on n7105:
No GSM / 3g / 4g (wifi works)
No stylus recognition.
Runs smooth by the way.
Hi Prezzi,
So I have the AT&T Note II SGH-i317 version and I am thinking of updating the ROM to RN4 by Electron-Team. However, I would like to hear from you if it's working fine or not since the E-Team are stating that this ROM update is for the n7100 version only.
You mentioned that you can't find a radio/modem that is compatible with SGH-i317, what effects does that have on the phone? Does this mean you cannot access 3G/4G network now?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Here is a quote from sawdoctor who is maintaining (along with bajanman) the DN3 ROM for the E-Team...
sawdoctor said:
I'll try and explain it to you so you understand a bit better. Porting n7100 to the s3 is very easy as the framework is almost identical (I could do it in 10 mins). Porting n2 lte variants to s3lte or verizon is very easy framework is almost identical. Samsung in they're infinite wisdom decided to completely change the lte variants framework after 4.1. AFAIK only one person has managed to port between lte and none lte variants and that was the s3 and s3lte. To get dn4 work in on our device requires completely rewriting the framework which is why no one wants to do it. The eteam are very busy with work atm so it's been left to me and bajanman to rewrite the framework. We have done 2 of the 5 folders needed and will try to do the rest. It might happen it might never happen. Editing smali is not easy especially when you don't understand it lol. The eteam are actual developers not chefs like most so called devs. Anyone can make a rom with a kitchen you don't even need linux anymore.

Im using DN3 v5 on my sgh-i317m canadian variant note 2 everything is great it run fast and smooth I like this rom alot. I have flashed a few different roms and this one is my favorite by far. I tried to flash DN4 it was successful other then it didnt read/recognize my sim card I asked me to install a sim I tried to go in to the settings and see if I could change my apn for my provider telus/koodo but it wouldnt let me access the apn due to the no sim did I do something wrong during flash? Or do I have to download something to get it to work with my provider?
The DN4 rom only works with the n7100 version only.
yes the ROM works fine! smooth and runs well.
but since the modem is not meant for i317, there will be no 3g/4g network, so u wont be able to make calls or anything pertaining to mobile network. still waiting to see if someone will port it to the LTE varients
note2 to note4
hi guys i dont remember where i get this flashable, but it has the 4.4.4 towchwiz with t0lte rid and radio, so, i think it could help porting dn4.... i will send you a link to download by PM im sorry i cant post outside links yet.
im so sorry about my english...
The place
Just wanted to be sure this is the place to be with the i317 variant? I know the original file was made for 7100, but hopefully it can be ported to the i317 model.
Evethough I don't have the 7100 I flashed it, just to see whats on it. Some exciting stuff! It really felt like a Note 4! Great work guys! I will check in hoping to one day find the i317 is ready to go. For now I will just use another great ROM DN3 5.2.
Im not understanding everyones trouble with running DN4 on the sgh-317 because i have now been running it on mine with full network, features, and stylus support. Its actually really smooth and enjoyable to use. There is a whole thread on it in the n7105 forum. I do know people where having trouble flashing all the updates and having them take but there is a custom CWM recovery that fixed all of that. Hope this helps give hope.

Ita been running very smooth, great battery life, and no reboots or network issues either.
I just followed this post in the N7105 section http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/development-n7105/addon-dn4-n7105-v1-0-31-12-t2988848 which also works with the sgh-317. At first i had trouble flashing everything and getting it to stick but someone posted in the thread linking to a custom CWM recovery that made it flash and boot properly.
Hope that helps you. If you have trouble i can make a step by step of what i did exactly.

Flashed from my I-317 DN5 V2. Confirmed it's working. The FM radio has been removed though I think it's because of the bug reported in original post for 7100. Couple minor things don't work such as dual clock digital in the widgets but i doesn't bother me. Overall, it's smooth and stable as the DN5V2 sofar.

Problem is, samsung never release any changelog, they just give numbers. Changelist called. Higher means later version and more changes, but what changes... that just knows samsung
All I know is that, the new update is always better than stock. It could be faster/optimised or it can be a surprise! The nov update seems to get better performance is what i know

With this firmware here?
Yes in caution I re download the firmware here and attempted both dirty and post wiping flashes, post wiping flash worked for me. The failure occurred at the loading of the hidden section
So I flashed the T700 firmware, coming from CWM and a CM12 ROM from this board, and now my tablet is completely stuck. It got past the first part of booting, but it's stuck at the final Samsung logo. Won't respond to any sort of button combination to restart it, even when I plug it in. Is there a way to restart it, or am I screwed?
Am looking for the Swiss t-700 firmware ANL1. It's showing on sammobile, but unable to download. This seems to be the latest version.
Update : using this now.
