Can I flash a different region firmware on my international note?

I have a galaxy note with italian baseband. My question is can I flash it with another region's firmware (asian firmware)?

Yes you can!

Yes.You can always flash any region firmwares on your phone.But the firmware should belong to your phone model.i.e N-7000 firmwares on N-7000,and I-917 firmwares on I-917.Which means firmwares are devices specific and not region specific
If you cant understand any of the above,the exact answer for your question is yes you can

would this affect my warranty? & flash count? and another question could i directly flash with an older firmware, im currently on 2.3.6 i was wondering if i could flash 2.3.5?

1.It wont affect warrant as long as you are in stock firmware.But if you have a network locked device I'm not sure because I have no network locked device in my region.If you have international unlocked note,you are 100% covered by warranty as long as its stock
2.Stock roms dont increase counter.Only custom roms do
3.You can flash any GB rom when you are in GB(to make it simple IMO)

Does this also apply to other devices?
That it is possible to use different firmwares.
(in this particular case LG optimus black p970)

Yup

Yes you can. You can us Odin for PC to do it. Do some searching on the n7000 forums and you will find all the necessary files and flashing tools.
I recommend checking out this excellent thread by Dr. Ketan http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
It explains everything in detail so you should be good to go if you read through it properly.
Hope this helped and good luck!

Marshmallow update for SM-G928I
Hi guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ (SM-G928I). However, I still didn't get marshmallow update for this phone. Can I flash this phone with a different model firmware? Such as SM-G928F or SM-G928C?

[Q] Official 4.1.2..?

Is there any announcement from Samsung, for official 4.1.2?
When we will expect it..?

"in december ..."

Can't wait..!!!:fingers-crossed:

6. Dezember..."in your boots"

Hope so, cuz Samsung is releasing the 4.1.2 to the I9300 now. Not sure if it will give it to us too or just some updates to make those people ( with I9300 ) happier as they don't have 4G.

Doubt it. I've just checked software update... nothing =(

I hope this come soon to our phones. There are those things that will make this phone better.

can't wait anymore

I just installed ausdims ported version and love it
Screw waiting lol

Why not? They're always like this.

Samsung have released 4.1.2 for the Korean SGS3 which I believe is Exynos Quad Core / 2GB RAM / 4G
Hopefully the i9305 should get the official update soon.

Don't forget that it is up to your carriers to push it out to you guys so you may not ever get it (not all that likely though).
Just install a custom ROM and get 4.1.2 now

[Q] Downgrading to 4.1.1 with 3 Sweden

Hello, I updated my system to 4.1.2 and rooted it so as to unlock the phone after which I found out that the only way to carrier unlock this phone is with 4.1.1
How do I safely downgrade so as to get 4.1.1? The phone is locked to 3 here in Sweden. I guess I need a Nordic version but have not found it.
I am very new to this so as detailed help as possible would be appreciated.
Model GT-I9305
Android version 4.1.2
Baseband version I9305XXBLL5
Kernel version
3.0.31-746327

Thanks

Hi..
You have to look and learn from the forum.
As a noob its dangerous to flash firmwares.
Info is provided everyware on the forum.
Its not against the law to search just breafly on the forum and google.
Google search: Downgrade i9305
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Premium HD app

Because its dangerous is the reason I ask for help here and of course I have googled.And I dont find anything about swedish/nordic firmware only people downgrading in England or the States. That is why I ask the question here.
Since I have sucesfully rooted my device I dont consider myself a noob, just careful.
So instead of stating the obvious like suggesting googling, maybe point me to a proper firmware that I can downgrade with.
Or a thread with relevant information.
Peace

If this is what to use which file should it be? This is why I put my initial question..
Using Odin is a breeze, its something else to know what to flash with so you dont brick your device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935570

Ok.. what ever..
Go to www.sammobile.com
There is where every one finds his or her firmware.
Register... goto firmware section... chose
Smartphone..android...i9305.. and the apropriet language for your phone..
The reason no one answeres this question is becaus its like telling you where to get toilet paper.

Use any of stock 4.1.1, unlock it and then flash it with latest Nordic 4.1.2

I guess it must be the file from November 2012 to use with Odin for any GT-I9305 from Sweden then, regardless of carrier? Not the one from September?
This one to use?
I9305XXALK5_I9305TLAALK1_TLA.zip
So if I downgrade to 4.1.1, do the unlock procedure, then it is as easy as to upgrade to 4.1.2 again using Odin and all should be back to normal. Correct?
The carrier unlock procedure can only be done on 4.1.1
Thank you for helping out!

Ok Djembey, just saw you posted a reply and that answers the question then. Many thanks

TLA is Telia and not Nordic, NEE is Nordic. And remember to do a full wipe after changing to another CSC to get OTA updates.

Glad I checked back here, was just about to do a downgrade using TLA firmware. This feels shaky to say the least :/
On Sammobile I can only find the 4.1.2 firmware NEE,I9305XXBMA3_I9305NEEBMA1_NEE.zip, where to find the 4.1.1?
So downgrading and updating using the NEE firmwares will make sure I receive OTA in the future?
And do I need to do a full swipe both after downgrading and then again when I update to 4.1.2 after unlocking?
Many thanks!

ANY 4.1.1 for the I9305 can be used! You will only use it for the unlock.

So is this the correct procedure?
1.Downgrade using TLA
2.No swipe
3.Unlock device
4.Upgrade using the NEE firmware
5.Then do a full swipe
Done
Thank you

FYI: Stock ROM NEE is for all Nordic Countries and it's better than TLA as is updated more frequently.
CSC_NEE contains settings for 34 Nordic Networks.
Btw, he's with 3 Sweden....

Well, I hope you guys are out there. I succesfully downgraded to 4.1.1, unlocked phone and then started Odin to upgrade to latest NEE firmware
but the upgrade failed. Now it only starts in emergency mode and asks me to attach to Kies. Trying to run Odin again only fails.
What do I do now?
Hopeful :/

Running JZ054K.N7000XXLT4 -- Is there a better stock ROM out there?

As the title states, I'm currently running stock:
JZ054K.N7000XXLT4 with a baseband of N7000XXLT3
Is there a better firmware out there that I should be running? I want to keep it as stock as possible, but I'm feel like I'm missing out on a newer firmware even though my Germany unit says I'm up to date.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

My personal advice would be, if you are insisting on purchasing a note it is a lovely device, I wouldn't replace mine with a newer galaxy S3 or even an S4. But I might consider a note 2 if I were you. The large screen is awesome.
Another word of advice is to keep the note as stock as possible, unless you love fiddling with modded ROMs, and that could be challenging.

You have xxlt9 firmware available which you can flash. Just make sure sure flash the carrier free version (not from vodafone or orange as it wouod be bloated like hell).
And the modem version is same that's xxlt3 so I dont think that would be an issue.
I'm from Indiabut using the UK latest furmware myself. No troubles at all.

And CM11 4.4 kitkat is out, but it's not a bugfree stock experience, and that's what I think the OP is asking for.

Just install a custom rom chances are it'll still be slow and laggy just like all other Samsung stock roms, once you go aosp/cm there's no going back to slow stock roms.

I really don't think all custom samsung roms are slow. Try The Galaxy Project. Not slow or laggy at all in my opinion.

How to root 4.3 firmware for GT-I9305?

I'm not sure but i guess that you could flash custom roms without losing your warranty.
When you want to restore your warranty just flash the stock 4.1.2 with odin.?
Not sure if this works.
Since the 4.1.2 version doesn't have KNOX.

Hello Mate I asked the Same Question and i have already read the same replies i got which doesn't answer your Question and will probably leave you frustrated.
There is a Leaked Roadmap on XDA which is Basically a very short list of when they expect the update to be released.
I can tell you it said November/December so it could be any day really.
I have been on Sam Mobile and they have Released 4.3 for our Handsets in Germany, Germany (Vodafone) and Spain (Vodafone)
I have asked the Question if these can be installed on a UK Handset and change the Language or if it wont work.
I hope this Helps answer your Question
