GT-N5100 change ROM - bought in China

Dear all,
i am living in China and I receive the note 8 GT-N5100 for present... but as you may know in China, Android is customised with no google services and play store! impossible to choose language except korean, chinese and english (but all the samsung applications are much more chinese languages aware than english)...
So I try to change the chinese ROM with a european one last week end through Odin but it failed during the process (on the forum, it seems that a bootloader or something like is blocking the process) and I restore it through KIES.
i am now in a guerilla mode with my tablet as i will whatever it takes to break these chinese limitation and have a real international tablet.
i read that mobile Odin pro could be a solution? but through the device no appstore, so can't buy it (and seems that mobile odin is not covering yet note 8).
i am looking for your help on that, if you have any ideas, please help!
thanks

Questions first. Are you rooted? Can you use the root tools here to root your device? That will be a prerequisite for most things. If your trying to instal the google framework for play services Try the instructions on this link Make sure you use the manual installation method. I know this is for the kindle fire HD but the file structure should be similar and it will get ya up and running.

hi thanks for you reply.
i added a file named: CF-Auto-Root-kona3g-kona3gxx-gtn5100.tar.md5 through Odin on the table with no problem (red android robot as a pirate) and it has added superSU.
so i suppose that i have rooted it?

Try the v1,1 toolkit for the Note 8. You find if in the original android development Section. Install and follow the Instructions, You have to check if your version is supported, else you follow the instructions and send your version to the dev. Then wait for support. I found the toolkit great and easy to use. Just root and install custom recovery, and you will be good to go!

hope this will work with this crazy chinese rom.

as said the aim is to change the ROM.... sorry toask so much questions but first time i am doing that

Your rom ends with BMD2, therefore it's outside the span BMC9- BMD1. Follow the an screen instruktions, and send your version to the dev. He will add your version shortly, then you are able to run custom roms!

Moto 360 and Xiaomi Mi4

Newbie question: Xiaomi appears to be not compatible with Android Wear. Is there a workaround? Mi4 is on kit kat 4.4.2. I will have to give up one if I dont find a solution.
Will rooting the Xiaomi be a solution if so....can point me to the right place?

I don't know where you brought your mi4,and which rom you're using.
I suggest the Official Developer's ROM,it contains root and can install Google Apps easily.
And then you can install the file attached(checking by yourself,just got it from my /data/app)
use it to install google apps and then update them up to date with play store.
I know there's some 3rd party ROMs for foreign users.you can try them too.
good luck.

OK,i think you need a fastboot flashing package
http://bigota.d.miui.com/4.11.7/cancro_images_4.11.7_4.4_cn_7ad273c4df.tgz
download it and do a backup,
copy your backup and files out of the phone if you don't want lose them.
THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE INCLUDE SD CARD.
and this is v6 with official English locale settings.
PS:in v5,updater is good choice to update to v6.try long pressing the menu button to call menu out.

Hi guys,
same problem with my new mi4 and my moto 360.
I had not had any problem with Xiaomi hongmi Note, but this mi4 is facing this problem.
I am not located in China, so maybe this has something to do with it.
Kind regards.

I suggest to you to stay with MM even if you find an update from the settings if you don't want trubbles. I have the same branded version (C02), i've updated via official OTA and i got a lot of problems, and i still haven't resolved all of them.

Thanks man ... I'm happy with MM and i'll not update to nougat until they fix all problems ... Have a nice day ... Thanks again

I've installed that update and now my Nova can't boot up
Stuck on eRecovery. I can't do anything because HiSuite recovery showing "Software recovery is unsupported on this device".
Also I can't find full firmware to flash it from SD. Before update I had same firmware like OP.
Is there any chance to fix it in home or only in Huawei Customer Service Center?

Do you still have ADB acces ?
Power off device...
connect device to pc with usb
power up device with VOL-DOWN + POWER
then you should see white ADB screen
if you have adb,youll be able to fix your device

Yes I have ADB screen and PC easily can find device but I can't do anything in HiSuite.

Forget hisuite....
you wont be able to do anything with it...
youll have to flash the whole firmware via ADB...
IF,you want firmware...you need to flash :
recovery.img
boot.img
system.img
if you want custom recovery,you need to flash
twrp.img
then do what you want

How I can flash firmware by this ADB? I need to use flashing software on PC right?

And second question... Where I can find "CAN-L01C02B140 CUSTC02D004" firmware?
Can you give me few links or instruction here? When I had Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini everything was so simply

check your pm...
first,youll need firmware finder HERE
extract it on pc desktop

I already have firmware finder, but it don't find my firmware in database
Guys I really need help. There is any posibility to find that firmware?

Ok, I gave my phone to Huawei Support Service and... Now I'm waiting for motherboard replacement :/
For my lucky they fixing it on warranty so I getting new mobo for free with fresh 2 years warranty
I'm really intrested what mobo they going to put in my phone. Again with branded software or maybe other version supporting Android 7.0.
SO! Be aware of installing updates from other sources than official preinstalled app because you easily can make you phone useless

Mi 10t 5g - lack of updates since 2020

I recently got this phone, I like it, but I'm astonished that it seems that I'm unable to update it. I tried the standard OTA update, i tried updating by downloading the most recent official ROMs and nothing, i get always the same message: "Can't verify update - Sorry flash to this stable version is not allowed."
I was only able to update (by package) from the rom 12.0.18 to the rom 12.0.19, which has the security patch from 12.2020.
I tried to switch regions too and nothing.
Do i really have to unlock the bootloader on a new phone or am i doing something really wrong? How come most people are already on 12.5 and android 11 while I'm stuck on 10?

I had this same problem as you. I solved it by sending my phone for guarantee. I think they did as you wrote - so probably unlock bootloader and flash (and blocking during flashing). There is no other solution for this problem.
Maybe with MIUI 13 everything will be working fine (for MIUI 12 and 12.5)? I hope so.

Hi,
from my opinion, you can flash the latest version, without problem.
Just try the followings:
Settings\About the phone\MIUI version\
click on the MIUI logo 3-4 times, than you will get "extended" menu...
on the right upper corner, the "dots" = menu\select the update package...
look aroung the follong site:
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
BE SURE, select the correct version and download the full image for you phone... copy your phone, and select it with the update manager......

Updates form A10 to A11 are suspended by Xiaomi. You'll need to unlock bootloader and flash latest version and you can lock it while flashing.

Or better still wait?
EDIT 2:
Tkanks to @NOSS8 i know that I should use V13.0.8.0.SKHEUXM but start with V13.0.3.0.SKHEUXM why? If i'll install V13.0.8.0.SKHEUXM on my present MIUI12 it will brick or what?

It is preferable to follow the logical sequence, in this case the dates of updates. But you can try the latest directly without risk.
Note that this does not always work 100%.
And why have posted the global version that you will not be able to install.
V13.0.8.0.SKHEUXM or V13.0.6.0.SKHMIXM

You seem to be using a custom ROM. Maybe that's why you aren't receiving updates.
I would suggest you to read about Anti Rollback Protection before you do anything.

Its rom is stock and A.R.B,as indicated by his name, is for downgrade not for update.

miui 12.5 global poco f3 max version 12.5.6.0 at stock rom not written like that but
from what i know, you can not lock bootloader with costum rom installled.
if you want to try update manual, you can directly download 13.0.8.0.

Did you read?
no root,bootloader locked.
"miui 12.5.8 designed by pramod phuyal"
it's a theme, that's all.

tap on big "12" (upper left side box) to enter update options.
then tap multiple times on the big "12" to enable more options.
now tap on 3 dots and chose "download last firmware"
this should download latest firmware for your phone (V13.0.8.0.SKHEUXM)

yes i did.
what if it is simply because there is no magisk app and device verified in google play store "about".
hey, what a "theme" even that place changed.
if it's like that.
then download 13.0.8.0 or
download 13.0.7.0 if any, after that 13.0.8.0 if want to update manually in updater by "choose update package" with logical sequence since 13.0.6.0 and below from miui 13 will result "can't verify update"
if want to do it with very "sequence" from the very first miui 13 for poco f3 you can use mi phone assistant reboot to recovery after that you can read here about mi phone assistant work even bootloader locked.

Just flash v13.0.8 ZIP through MIUI Updater

Hi
I utilize an outside screen by means of the USB C port (usb C/HDMI link), it functions as promoted (Samsung Dev X,...)
I would like a USB C port replicator that permits outside screen + Power tablet power supply (I viewed as one, yet it no longer works for the outer screen)
Do you have a model to prescribe to me?

Sucess . I have MIUI 13 but the problem was... MIUI Updater app version. After uninstalling updates it did work fine (OTA).
