[Q] Note 8 firmware upgrade issues

Hi. Dont jump on me for those questions but couldnt find anything here on xda nor google helped me.
So here it is.
Just bought my Note 8. GT-N5110. It has Android 4.1.2 and build version JZO54K.N5110XXBMD1. Not rooted
As I know 4.2.2 is available I wanted to update. But OTA says I am up to date.
I tried then Kies. I have all the drivers uptodate and Kies version uptodate as well. When I connect my Note it is recognized but it seems that Kies doesnt read everything what it should.
It doesnt show the firmware version at all.
When I am trying to check for firmware updates all I get is mssg:
GT-N5110 does not support initialising.
I also tried sammobile. But cuz I couldnt determine which version of Note 8 I have and didnt know which firmware to pick up and installed their apk.
It should check for me everything but I am getting only
Model GT-N5110
Product code. - nothing
PDA N5110XXBMD1
CSC N5110CCBMD1
Modem - nothing
After hitting GET LATEST receiving only mssg - No info foun for the provided firmware.
So my questions are:
- How can I determine is the firmware update available for my Note or not yet?
- How can I determine which version of Note do I have? I bought it on amazon.co.uk so I think it is European version but are there country specific version as well for WIFI only model?
- Which firmware should I download from sammobile to stay "legal" lets say. UK? Dont want to root at the moment.
Any help really appreciated.
cheers

Hi.
I have the same version. (Settings, System, About (or something like that at the bottom) and then in the buildnumber there is the version.
Mine is rooted so i can't do OTA and it doesn't find an update.
I guess since there isn't any 4.2.2 version on sammobile, there doesnt exist any yet for our build.
Greetings
Chris

Thanks for that.
Decided to root so wont worry anymore about OTA or KIES updates.

From this link you can get to know about the latest available firmware for your device Model & Product Code. See image 1.
And this link will give you info about all the firmware released for the same. See image 2.
Is the tablet you bought is a used one? Because if it is brand new, then the PDA should be N5110XXBMC9, which is the first release. Also missing Product code can mean something very wrong.

[Q] Any Custom Roms for Sgh-i747m?

Hi,
I have sg s3 sgh-i747m from telus and I have been looking every where but couldn't find an answer. The admins are too lazy to make a Canadian section so allot of people who have the same model run into the same problem. Can i use any other roms from other models like sgh-i747 or would I break my device. Also can I can a list of possible of compatible roms? That would be much appreciated.
I need answers and I hope that this will help others in the future.
Thanks

You can use any ROM designed for a d2att. This has been repeated all over the i747/i747m forum. Only stock ROMs are unique, custom ROMs are not.

I can load Validus, CM11, and Cyanfox which are all 4.4.2-based ROMs and this is on an i747m that was running stock 4.1.2. I never updated beyond the 4.1.2 bootloader. Have a look at the updater script in the ROM and it will tell you which bootloaders are supported.

Apparently I was d2mtr. I managed to install cm 11. Thanks guys =)

Hello everyone,
i'm hoping i'm in the right spot for this. I'm trying to connect my Samsung galaxxy s3 sgh-i747m to my car. it is said i need to get android auto, and to get android auto i need to get lollipop version 5.0 or later. My question here is, does that rom exist for my version phone and if so where can i find it. second question, can someone hold my hand while i do the upgrade as this would be my first time.

There is no stock Android 5.0 ROM for the sgh-i747m. Samsung stopped at 4.4.2.
If you want 5.0, you'll need to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP and then a custom ROM.

I'm not sure how many of us are out there, tinkering around with the 8+ year old Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 . While I am a newbie, I have enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CrDroid. The newest O/S that I flashed is CrDroid ( based on Android 8 ). Runs great. Stable. Long battery life.
I have always used ODIN to INSTALL a 'recovery' system such as TWRP ( which is a .Tar file )
After TWRP is installed ( using ODIN ) I unplug phone from my computer. Then boot into TWRP recovery ( holding down the three buttons ). I do a clean install (flash) of the newest O/S that I can find ( Android 4.4 is really old ). It is that .Zip file that I flash, then reboot the phone. Always works for me. Eventually I learned how to back up all my contacts, SMS, logs, photos, etc.
BTW I am totally free of Google; no Google Play Store, no Google Pay, no Google Framework, no Gapps, no Google spyware, no Google bloatware, no Google tracking etc.
I download all my apps as APK's which are readily available on the Net ( Google them . . . just kidding! ).
My older Samsung S3 i747 was a 'd2att' originally locked to Rogers, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Then switched over to MTS (Manitoba Telephone System). Now running on Bell Canada. My replacement is also a Samsung S3 i747, originally running T-Mobile in Arizona, now running on Bell Canada.
These are damn fine phones.

Friend,
It's been so long, I don't even remember why I made this post. What you said about Odin and TWRP does sound familiar though. My S3 died years ago, I haven't done any phone modifications since.
Kind regards,
Keven

Well, that post of yours was from February 2014. Just like yesterday, eh?
But so sorry to hear about your S3. I thought these phones were indestructible!
They are so easy to tinker around with, without bricking. And because these Samsung Galaxy S3 phones are plentiful, zero cost, they're worry free when having fun messing around with them!
Take care, be safe & be healthy.

I've just come into possession of an old i747m. Still works, top glass is all cracked. But digitiser is undamaged. Touch screen works... I'm wanting to use it to play music in my garage while I tinker.. so I can still use my main phone and not have it plugged in...(Bluetooth speaker is on the blink you see)...it sorely needs a tune up though.. just want to be able to stream music through Spotify or pandora and use turbo VPN if I need to.. play store is seemingly not wanting to work well...
I'll have a go at your instructions... Provided I can still find links to all the files. Cheers

Flashing things to SM-T705Y

Hi Guys,
I have a T705Y. Was wondering whether I have to flash stuff specific to the Y version (of which there doesn't appear to be much) or whether I can flash T705 stuff to it as well.
I did a quick search and couldn't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
D.S

Where did you get this one from? I'm not sure about flashing stuff on it because most roms and kernels are for the 705. Not sure if the 705 is compatible to the 700y. Is this also a Snapdragon or exynos?

A carrier in Australia are giving them out in a bundle at the moment, my Nexus 7 just happened to break so it seemed to work out.
No idea if it's Exynos or Snapdragon, haven't looked that far into it yet. Was simply asking the question in the hopes that somebody had a quick answer.
It's not a big deal. Some more searching suggests that CF-AutoRoot works, which would probably be enough for me to be able to uninstall / freeze a lot of the chaff on the device.
Thanks

I just got a new australian model sm- t705y. Has anyone flashed the taiwanese lollipop rom to it yet? Does it run good? Should i root before or after? I'm a newbie, thanks, Pet

Edit
I flashed the taiwanese lollipop rom with odin 3.09, it works beautiful, didn't need factory reset after, but it is specifically for the "y"-version of the sm-705. I am facing the same problem, don't know what the "y" means, except that it adds a certain bandwith for Australian 4G. I don't know if i can use stuff for normal sm- 705 or if that would cause problems. I will repost after trying, might take a while as i want to do a full backup first. If anyone has any clues regarding this issue i too would be very happy and

I too would be very very very interested in knowing this. Can't find any info on it other than a "maybe" from the Iron ROM creator.
The main reason I want it is because the Xposed framework doesn't work with current stock Samsung ROMs, yet there are no custom ROMs for the T705Y..
Has anyone taken the plunge and tried a custom T705 ROM on a T705Y??
FYI the T705Y is the Australian variant with 4G 700MHz band 28 for Aussie 4G. It has the Exynos 5 Octa 5420 (Adonis?)
..tempted to buy one with a broken screen just to try it but I don't have the money at the moment.

Sorry if double posting isn't allowed but just an update - I've tried deodexing so I can install Xposed but no luck - have gone through all the walkthroughs and troubleshooting I can find and after about 8 hrs total I've given up. I'll post back here if I get the balls to flash a T705 ROM or if I find a T705Y ROM that will allow Xposed.

Why do you need balls? It's a simple case of making a backup with twrp first which is reiterated on this forum about a million times then just flash away.

As I understand it there is still a risk of a hard brick which means you can't get back into TWRP, unless I'm mistaken?

used to have the T705 a long time back...went to the S2 T715...left that...got a great deal on T705Y practically new was sealed but sometimes wonder about those seals...anyway manufactured just in June this year...runs much better than T705 used to and guessing it is all software (has to be)..has 5.0.2 now (back then like a year back 4Q 2014 was kitkat and a horrible keyboard back then)...
checked that there is a s/w update of 212MB available not sure what that is for
in terms of the Y version...see the Sm-T235...I have that too (and had the Y version of that briefly...the Y version (also Taiwan) for the T235 there is identical to the non-Y version except for some LTE bands...same roms, recovery etc...can check the xda board tab 4 7.0..this is the LTE 235 I am referring to (now 230/231/237 differ) but Sm-t235 and 235y are basically identical. So here too, I think some frequencies are different (enabled bands but otherwise same)
by analogy I am pretty certain the 705 and 705Y have similar degree of similarity and differences like the 235 and 235y...if one can say that..just some bands on lte (235 has the 850, the 235Y has the 700 frequency for example)

Thanks ashyx but I am wanting to flash a custom ROM not stock, and for a slightly different model number. FWIW among other reasons I'm needing Xposed to turn off the magnet screen off feature which is sometimes triggered by my magnetic car cradle.
I think mac has answered my question will and confirmed what I suspected.

Well just to let you know I have flashed countless custom roms on my t805. For quite a while I was using a custom t805y rom which ran very well with no issues. I also think there is a t705y version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3127127
I now use PhoeniX ROM.
Pretty much any rom can run on these devices regardless of region.
The only thing is you may need to restore or flash the boot.img and modem for your particular device if you encounter issues.
I have only ever had to restore the modem.

Well i flashed t705 recovery yesterday and chaimsaw
Latest su2.62 that also works on t235 5.1.1...xposed running too

Revert to stock Android ROM for my Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Hi all.
I just bought a second hand Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and I believe it's rooted (found that SuperSU was installed and running). I'd like to revert back to the stock ROM, and found guides pointing me to the samsung-updates website. Haven't found any info on how to translate their tree letter region code to actual country names, so I can't seem to find which ROM that matches Norway. Which ROM do you guys suggest for Norway?
Greetings, Kenneth

CSC region code for norway is TEN.

Great, thanks.
Don't seem like there's a stock ROM for that region on the samsung updates website. Any ideas on where to get hold of the stock ROM?

Need help on Galaxy Note 2 N7105

Hi Guys,
I have switching roms in these few months. Recently, I tried to use back the stock rom N7105XXUFOB2. Everything went normal until I found 2 problems:
1. imei is blank with /01 when typing *#06#, but baseband was shown and I can still get the network. (My mistake for not backing up the efs folder)
2. GPS not found, tried with google map and waze but same issue. Tried with gps status also to no solution. (No satellite at all)
Then, I went for customs rom, GPS works and network works as per normal but with imei blank and baseband display. Anyone got idea on how to resolve it?
Appreciated if anyone can help.

Where did you get the stock ROM? Is that the latest stock ROM for the phone?
I found these stock ROMs: https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?exact=1&q=GT-N7105

I have forgotten where I downloaded it. But definitely not sammobile as it requires user login.
Below is the version I use.
PDA/AP Version: N7105XXUFOB2
CSC Version: N7105OLBFOD1
MODEM/CP Version: N7105XXUFNI2
Region: Singapore (singtel)
Are you saying that the stock rom I am downloading is not genuine or somehow corrupted?
Is that possible that imei blank, baseband still around and mobile signal works as per normal? Because I am facing it. lol.
By the way, in 4.4.2, is there anyway to do screen mirroring to samsung tv? Firstly, it mentions 'Unable to Start Screen Mirroring because of Hardware Issues'. Then I checked online and edit build.prop file by adding in “wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable“. Then the hardware issue quote is gone but the tv screen is blank.

I would flash the latest stock ROM from updato.com.
I'm not sure how you can get any cell or data service from your carrier without success valid IMEI.

Ya, it is very weird. But just to confirm again. If I reflash the rom from the website you mentioned, Is that possible to fix the blank imei issue? I think it is going to be 50-50.
I have tried googled this issue, I found some said to change imei using mtk tool, does it apply to galaxy note 2 as it mentioned works for Mediatek devices and not sure about others?

Just a friendly reminder that XDA does not permit any discussions related to changing an IMEI.
Flashing the latest stock ROM will sometimes being back the IMEI.

Understood. I found the same rom in updato, just wonder why some roms with same android version but different pda version so late? (Eg, France (Orange) (FTM), N7105XXUFQH1, 4.4.2- 17 Sept 2017)
Is it just because the rom is being updated late in updato?

Different ROMs for different regions and carriers. Not all ROMs have the same languages too.

Understood and thanks for your explanation. For stock firmware, do you have problem doing screen mirroring to smart TV?

Unfortunately, I can't comment on mirroring because I haven't had a Samsung phone for a while.

Oh I see, never mind then.
The problem on the stock firmware is that manufacturer has already abandoned the phone. Therefore, many apps have been discontinued and that's why the screen mirroring is not working. But I trully love the stock camera app compared with custom rom. :crying:
Now I'm using custom rom and will continue monitoring first. :laugh:
Anyway, thanks again.

I think the note 2 has decent hardware and could probably run 6.0 with no problem but Samsung would sell fewer phones

Ya, you are right. I am not using custom rom resurrection remix nougat version. The camera is not as smooth as the stock camera which is sad for me. My wife did complain to me that the phone with this rom was lagging, which led me to back to stock firmware.
But now I am back to same rom so far is ok, only that I need to make sure the phone can run smoothly and I will be happy to use it. Cheers.
