Does it tell you that the tablet has been changed or that there are no updates? If it is the first one, its probably because its rooted. If it is the later one i dont really know what could cause it, might be a branded tablet or something. Never been without Root so i have never done OTA updates on the Note8
1. It should be completely OK to flash that ROM
2. I have flashed several ROMs and kept the modem files and it works fine, tho with the ROM you are about to use you can flash it all without any problem as it is made for nordic countries
3. I have read the same, I have not tried to go back from 4.4 so i can not say if it is possible or not. But i am sure there are loads of threads about reverting and the KitKat bootloader.
4. Welcome to a really sweet tablet, tho there are not many custom ROMS developed for it, but those that are, are working really well

Thanks my savor for the answer
about my no update thing , if i checked for updates i got
"The latest updates have already been installed "
it was a crazy offer from Elgiganten nearly 50% off price i got it for 1990 sek although due to web error on elgiganten site i managed to buy it Electroword
so this not branded ?
and about bootloader thing , as i read we cannt replace it back , we can flashi4.1 or 4.2 with odin but still the bootloader will be 4.4 and many have issues with this combo
i read that 4.4 cause some problem for some users like spen 2mm off etc so i like to have to the option to completely downgrade or at least i will update to 4.2
what do you think
by the way did the Nordic version got 4.2 update ? i cannt find it on sammobile
and again thank you very much

I dont think we got 4.2 at all, i used Civatos ROM during 4.2 and now i use rooted stock and i have no problems at all actually. S Note might be a little bit more sluggish to write in than before but nothing major anyways.
I have also read about the 2mm off center Spen, i had that in 4.1, and then it was more or less than 2mm depending on where on the screen i pointed.
I it were up to me, i would upgrade, but if you want to be able to revert back to 4.1 that would be a problem. Maybe try a custom ROM first? But that would mean breaking warranty and if something happens you will have all the hassle of returning it to stock with no trace of custom ROMs I have done this three times so i know how frustrating it is,
The problem i had then with my Note8 was that the Spen would not register on a 2-3cm wide strio on the upper part of the screen. I think this was because i used a magnetic case (non OEM). and the two times following it was the service station that messed things up so that i had to revoke the purchase and get a new Note8 So i would suggest that if you want to protect your Note you should get a good backcover and then buy a tempered glass screenprotector from ebay. I work at a wire rod mill and i have the note with me everywhere and it doesnt have a scratch on it (plus it fits in the breastpocket of my flameproof jacket). I do not work directly in the production line but i am at the factory floor more than half my workday
A little sidetrack from the ROM-talk but i thought i should give my 2 cents on the Note, now i have to sleep... even tho we get a "free hour" I dont want to be a wreck in the morning

Thanks again and again
and i think i will try a custom first as you suggested , i read that i can have 4.4 room based on 4.1 bootloader
so i can check 4.4
and thanks about the case and protector advice , my main use for the tablet is in home so fro now i got a samsung book cover for it it is not the powerful protection but i liked that it is thin .
i was afraid of magnetic cases -non oem - as they have strong magnet so i bought the oem
have a nice dreams and for me it is custom room searching time

If you want official 4.4.2 install Samsung KIES (download), and plugin a cable between PC and tablet, then install the update through Samsung Kies,

[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.

Yes u can update but u will have Knox bootloader firmware
Guide ? just flash it, root, get CSC changer and change your CSC to your region
My advice:
If u don`t want to root in future or change firmwares or u want to get official updates
Download : I9190DXUAMF7 Malaysia
Flash it, root it, change csc to XME with Galaxy CSC changer
Flash AGAIN I9190DXUAMF7 to remove any traces of root and wipe data factory reset to get official status
Then update your phone with Kies to I9190DXUAMK2
U will have Knox bootloader active but your status will be 0x0 . If u root/install custom kernel etc u will trigger Knox warranty
If u want in future to update to other custom firmwares and u want to keep your warranty and don`t trigger Knox
Modify the stock rom before u flash it on phone
U MUST MAKE THIS STEP BEFORE U FLASH MK2

Can i change the region with no problems?
Dear SilviuMik,
Thanks for your promising answer to a similar question in the past threads. Please help me out. I am also in the dark as a new user. I really appreciate it.
I've got S4 mini (I9192) and the battery drain is too fast, even in standby at night when i dont use it at all it loses up to 17 percent till morning.
1. I would like to know if it is possible to change my region to one with a newer update (while actually i don't live there)? i hear the new updates have somewhat controlled the battery issues.
2. My region is Iran and would like to change it to Saudi Arabia or ... here are my phones details:
Ap: I9192xxUAMI1
CP: I9192xxUAMI1
CSC: I9192OJVAMI1
Kernal version: 3.4.0-947972

I would like to change either to
Saudi Arabia:

Product Code: CAC
PDA: I9192XXUBNC1
CSC: I9192OXEBML1
MODEM: I9192XXUBNC1
is it possible? please help.
3. one last thing: if i change my region, will i still be able to connect to Samsung account? will there be any problems?
Sorry to ask so many questions. I will post this in thread i first found, too. In case there are some other people like me who can benefit from your expertise. Really Thank you.

Hello mate,
I9192XXUAMI1 does NOT contain Knox ( u are a lucky guy )
Newer firmware ALL contain Knox
Also, newer firmware does not fix battery drain , a custom Kernel / rom with custom kernel does fix it
Since u do not have knox bootloader active my advice is to try to flash my custom rom U will see that battery drain will be over
Can i change the region with no problems?
I'm one lucky guy. Thanks.
please post a link to your best Rom (probably best of all that there is). and let me know if i need to install sth like 4xt recovery.
by the way, i did not understand if it there will be any harm to my device if i flash the above Roms (i mean a different region)? and will they work more smoothly?
Thanks a millions
keep up the good work my friend :good:

If u install the other roms that u posted u will install roms with Knox bootloader active ( U will get 2 new lines in download mode with word knox in them ) that will prevent u from flashing kernels/root/flashing older roms without voiding warranty
In my signature is the rom i made, try version 2.1
U don`t need to install any recovery just flash this rom like any other with Odin

S4 Mini DUOS (GT-I9192) [Recognize Genuine Device] [KitKat for S4 Mini DUOS]

Hi friends,
I'm Dinesh and new user of android. Don't have more experience with that. So I want to know some information from master like you.
1. How can I recognize my S4 Mini Duos is a genuine one or not ?
2. According to RAM manager my Ram size is 1.31GB, but it should be 1.5 GB. Isn't it ?
Inline images 1
3. My firmware is for KSA (Saudi Arabia) but I'm live in Sri Lanka. How ever KitKat still not released for any region except of Russia. Then if I download and install it on my device what will happen ?
What will happen to apps which are already installed ?
What will happen to contacts, logs, messages and etc. ?
Will I receive any update notification of that KitKat version on my device ?
Can I update via KIES or OTA in future ?
Can I go back for my fresh Android 4.2.2 which is still I have ?
What are the differnces between same version released for different regions (KSA, SER, SLK, INS etc.)
How can I change my region KSA to SLK ?
Inline images 2
4. What are the negative things have with kitkat?
Do you have any bad experience of kitkat for S4 mini Duos ?
Is it better than 4.2.2 ?
Somebody says Battery discharge is little bit fast in KitKat. Is that true ?
Please let me know about above mentioned things and also other special things you know about S4 mini DUOS and Firmware.
I hope you will reply me as soon as possible and I really appreciate it.
Thanks a lot.
Well first than anything i can tell you that your s4 mini is genuine.
Second ram memory in fact its 1.5 but always it is a little bit less if it is 1 gb will be 980 mb alsonif you buy a 16 gb pen drive it will have 14 gb instead son your 1.3 its ok i have it.
Third you can download the russia version im already using that on my s4 mini and its work very good you have to flash it with odin... (If you do youbwill have to flash the rom two times for better results) And dosent matter the region it will work.
About the negative expiriencies still dnt have nothing bad about kit kat. So try it.
Yes its better than 4.2.2 cuz its save more battery. Well you have yo unstall some samsung apps and google apps that will drain your battery after you update your phone to kit kat root it and start to delete apps but be careful.
Hope this info help you out another question? Cheers
:good:
Thanks mate.
now I try to install kitkat (Russia) version.
So what will happen my already installed apps, contacts, messages and etc ?
and I want to uninstall unnecessary samsung apps which are come with firmware. How can I do that ?
If something happen in wrong can I go back for Jelly Bean 4.2.2 which is already I have ?

I've installed russian kitkat firmware with odin, it works fine except for some unexplainable troubles:
I cannot change lock screen wallpaper, everything I choose it turn back to stock one (the one with blue sky and colored baloons):
Smart standby stopped working, even if switched on the small eye in notification area disappear after one second.
About battery management, I've noticed no real improvement.

Yes it's possible but we need to flash on top our (tmobile) kernel.
I also can't find our tmobile frimeware tar (for odin in case of bootloop)
Damn....booooooring
Hmm I'm downloading the TMO firmware from SamsungUpdate to start, but it's gonna take another 6 hours because of their metered connection -_-.
We'll see how that works out, but ideally I'd be 100% debloated and rooted with Samsung Pay working.
Don't think that'll be possible, but at least we're dealing with unlocked bootloader devices haha

where did you get the update from?
@Jduncan312
http://samsung-firmware.org/download/SM-G928T/i70w/TMB/G928TUVU1AOGD/G928TTMB1AOGD/
hello
any lucks for the SM-G928C ?
My edge plus is already on 5.1.1 - why the desire to download the same version of firmware from another country? Maybe I'm missing something...
That's not new
Guys, the phone is running great!
Updating for the sake of updating isn't always a good thing when out of the box it's actually working well!
When a device has problems there are threads everywhere of complaints. When a device works things are quiet usually with just the usual how to question. Of course everyone wants root, when it comes it comes. Be patient!

I do not believe you have to do anything.
While yes, both are version 5.1.1, if you look at the last 4 digits of your firmware build number you should see AOGD. The new firmware build number ends in AOH2, showing this is a newer build date. Nothing major, probably just a few under the hood changes, which usually means a liitle better performance.

what about the root-ability?
If you are rooted on an older firmware, and you flash a stock rom via Odin you will lose your root access. So long as your phone model can be/is rooted on your current firmware, after you flash the newer firmware just follow the same steps to root your phone again.
