But that firmware is not 5.x. Would it be okay for us to flash a note 4 firmware (non dual sim version) onto the SM-N9100?

By no means flash another ROM if is not developed especially for your model. Most likely you will get i nice brick.
As for a lolipop ROM, i'm still searching. Until now i have found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-n9106w-qualcomm-t3007061/page15#post59798895 but it's developed for SM-N9106W, i'm waiting for a confirmation that is working for SM-N9100.
GR8 day !

For whom is interested :
On Samobile.com you can find the now Lolipop Firmware for SM-N9100 Duos.

I have dual sim SM-N9100 Hong Kong Version and I have recently updated it to Lollipop using Kies. I have faced the following bugging issue:
It takes long time (5-10 sec) in the Dialer when choosing the SIM to make the call whereas before it was spontaneous and that's why I had to use a 3rd party dialer from Google Play.
Other than this, I had the phone for few months and it works smoothly. I also faced auto focus issue

I don't have any of those problem and i'm also on Lolipop.
Maybe you should try reflashing Lolipop through Kies.
Or, if you have root and recovery installed , you could do a data wipe.

I have contacted Samsung HK and their answer was useless as expected. They said (its only 10 seconds so its not a big a deal), They never admitted the problem. After resetting to factory setting and fresh Lollipop install, the problem still exist.. Im using a 3rd party app phone instead of Samsung Dailer.

Hi to all im using Hk lollipop for m9re than 3 weeks and i can say that is a very nice rom...maybe a little better than kit kat. ..
I have only found 1 bug and 1 weard problem...
The bug is as you have describe above but this hapens only if you have choose "allways ask" and only if you try to make the call from recent calls or favourite contacts...and NOT directly from contacts list....
The weard problem has to do with message app and sms settings.....
In kit kat there was a menu "iinput mode" to choose between "Automatic , Alphabetic & Unicode"...the Alphabetic gives you the opportunity to have 160 letters instead of 70....
After updated to lollipop this menu still there....
When i do factory reset the menu dissappear....
I had returned back to kit kat but the menu wasn't there too...
I reinstall clear lollipop with original recovery and no root but the same results...
The menu isn't there anymore.....
Very strange issue. ...

Hi All, officially the second sim card is marked as 2G slot. Has anyone tested or know if it's possible to make it work with 3G/4G? is it a ROM thing, or is it hardware?
Australian networks are shutting down their 2G networks and I don't really want to move to a different phone.

Did you have the same firmware as mine? If yes which file did u use to upgrade to gingerbread?
Thanks
I'm using Overcome 2.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074759
Just follow the guide exactly, you will need to flash the modem.bin it recommends for Tmobile.
This doesn't touch the folder where the unlock file resides.
I have flashed 2 roms since unlocking and still unlocked.
Mainly iam interested in the stock rom 2.3.3
anyone with t mobile tab that has upgraded to 2.3?

I have. Works fine.
I have also. Works fine. Also it gets rid of that annoying white tmobile screen. Yes!
I have been trying to get rid of that for 4 months.
Before you flash, check the threads for changes in 2.2 to 2.3.3
It is a diff system. Key lights never go out now,
different (worse) taskmanager. You can no longer clear two levels of ram. Some other changes.
Different (worse) download manager. You can no longer see progress its now done or not done.
It is gingerbread so the browser screen has that annoying bounce floating window thing. It annoying also. Makes repositioning or scrolling a browser window a hit or miss.
You are gonna have to flash our tmobile modem.bin to get 3g back.
Interestingly enough, now when I put my g2 sim in here i get internet. Its faster than my tabs 3g according to speedtest.net. It used to take me to that prepaid site.
I am using overcome beta 1 also.
Also apps needing 2.3.3 work now.

Galaxy K Zoom 2 (SM-C115L) Flashed with UK K Zoom rom?

Hi,
I've imported a Korean spec K Zoom 2. As far as I can tell, it's identical to a standard K Zoom, but with 16gb internal memory.
Has anyone tried to flash one used one of these and tried to flash it with the standard C115 ROM? The Korean software has the camera sounds locked on - which I find really annoying, and a really tacky boot loader.
I am also looking for a firmware sm-c115l
mine is stuck with the triangle
imposible to find original firmware
I give $ 50 (paypal) in the first that found for the sm-c115l
(Not C115 / C115M / C115W)
theyoyo84 (@) gmail. c o m

i flashed the c115l with the uk firmware its now stuck in infinite boot up. any help or locations for Korean firmware much appreciated

Hi,
Even if I'm not a specialist, you should try to get the last official firmware from 2016 (samsung website)
That is true that you will have korean letters on the phone even if you move to English.
Then use the dial pad and enter 319712358
Then if it's a LG U+ branded C115L type 0821
You should be able to access to the hidden menu to activate 4G.
or
Why don't you try to move to C115 international version firmware (post available on this forum)
you won't have anymore korean letters, but I'm not sure you will get 4G.
Good luck
Hi, I just got on ebay a korean C115L Galaxy K Zoom. I want to root it, but I see people have bricked their phones using the C115 tutorials..
Has anyone figured out how to do it on a C115L? Thank you.
(Mostly I want to silence the camera shutter noise, so if anyone knows how please respond!
Thanks

I tried the dial pad instructions above and successfully enabled 4G / LTE. However I couldn't receive or make phone calls so had to disable.

[Q] How to install EU ROM on my n910T

I want install a EU ROM from n910F on my n910T, because I need a polish language and how to change csc to xeo?
so what can I do? is it possible?
I'd try the vision international rom first:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3066794
Okay, but I have networks problem so I asked how to change CSC.. all the time phone shows 'emergency calls only'. Phone has been unlocked..
Edit: Now I have a Canadian Lollipop and It is even worse
Note4
Maybe this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3072920
Did you find the solution? I'm also from Romania and i have issues with bad signal/ signal loss etc.
~arcanandrei
So I found a solution. F**k this phone, give back to the site and buy a new note 3...
Edit: But still trying to solve this problem

If you go to the Canadian Note 4 topic in the general subsection of the main Note 4 forum there's a data/signal fix for 5.0 that lets you get international roms to recognize your sim card. If you flash the rom you want followed by the patch followed by a compatible lollipop kernel (I recommend ael v13 but the KT one works too I think) back to back and then reboot you can run pretty much any stock based international rom on the n910t and n910w8.
Edit; forgot to clarify the rom has to be a snapdragon one, xynos is different hardware so no workaround there.

Do the calls come/ go through, but one party can't hear theother? Or is iit amatter oif calls outright not being able to be made or received? If it's the former I've run into that on other roms aand reflashing them worked 9 times out of ten.

Samsung Note SM-N9208 Duos

Hello,
I bought N9208 today with the knowledge that it is compatible to my current carrier TMobile. I have several questions for those who have this phone.
#1. Am I able to install the operating system from TMobile? I am basically a noob when it comes to rooting etc etc. The phone comes unlocked.
#2. What is the primary difference between the N9208 and TMobile' N920T. I purchased this phone because it has 2 Sim slot and I like the Titanium color.
#3. What should I be doing first upon receiving the phone? How can I add flash software to this phone?
#4. Does unlock also mean the phone is rooted?
Any help or advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the patience.

#2. What is the primary difference between the N9208 and TMobile' N920T. I purchased this phone because it has 2 Sim slot and I like the Titanium color.
-> Tmobile phone will have Tmobile bloatwares
#3. What should I be doing first upon receiving the phone? How can I add flash software to this phone?
-> Worship its beauty. Flash software???, what year is it man... Flash passed away already.
#4. Does unlock also mean the phone is rooted?
-> no unlock means you can use it with any carrier you can think of. if you want to root, go here , this worked wonder for my 9208.

I think you shouldn't do anything to your phone during a few days, to make sure that everything works fine. With an unlocked phone you'll be able to use any SIM card, and with a rooted phone you'll be able to see, modify and delete system files that otherwise can't be seen, so if a phone is unlocked it doesn't mean that it's also rooted.
To flash a new ROM you can use Odin.

Thank you, the tracking says my phone will arrive tomorrow. I will make sure it works fine with TMobile before doing anything else.
Oh... what do you mean by "To flash a new ROM you can use Odin?" Does this mean I can use TMobile's operating system and not from Taiwan's since this is from Taiwan? Sorry i am really a noob when it comes to this.

You can't use a firmware of the N920T on your N9208, as they are different models. You can only install a firmware that is specific for your device model.

So what should I do? lol I don't want Taiwan's apps. I would like to cater my phone as closely as TMobile's.
I have the N9208 and use it on TMOUS. It does not come with any Taiwan apps, just all Samsung official apps. The traditional Chinese keyboard and handwriting recognition are on by default. I have not tried turning them off since I do write in Chinese sometimes. You cannot install TMO FW as they are two different models. The main difference is that the TMO supports Samsung Pay while the N9208 does not yet since it is not supported in TW yet. It is not rooted by default.

It's up to you, just know that if you do root, it will trip Knox. That means you won't be able to use Samsung Pay if it gets released in the future and Android Pay unless there is some workaround. Yes, there is Simplified Chinese. You can also always download third party keyboards if you prefer.

Oh, what do you mean by "traditional chinese on by default?" I mostly type in English, so I hope English Language can be on default. I currently have Note 3, and if I swipe the space key, it switches to simplified chinese. Is Note 5 similiar to this that?
I guess I will leave it alone for a bit and see how it does. I read on the T Mobile forum at Tmobile website and it says N9208 does not have "LTE" and that wi fi calling isn't available? Is this true though?
Thanks
I just received my Note 5 N9208, and there isn't simplified chinese. Do I go to google play to download it? Also, the weather, how do I add multiple cities' weather? I am not liking the Samsung keyboard already. Can someone help? thanks

I just mean that when you first use the device the default keyboard and handwriting are set to both traditional Chinese and English. Yes you can deselect Traditional and change it to English. On the Note5 you just click on the globe key and it will change the language. It does support LTE. I posted a picture in a post somewhere, you can look at my history to find it. It does not have wifi calling from what I can tell.

I read elsewhere in the forum that the N9200 (China Note 5) does not come with the google play store and that rooting is often required to get it. I don't want to root. Does the N9208 come with the google play store? I assume yes since it's the Taiwan version, but would love to get some confirmation. Thanks! My plan is to use the phone on AT&T in the US states, and on China Mobile in China (N9208 should be fine for use in China as long as not using China Telecom, from what I've seen on frequencycheck).

downgrade to original Note 5 andriod software

My Note 5 is not happy with the software version Android 7 how can I put it back to the original version of software supplied with the phone?
What exactly version do you want? Are you on stock or custom? What is your device?
I was not pleased with how my phone was acting on 7.0 so I downgraded to 6.0.1 XSA using Odin but it wasn't long before I let it take the OTA back to 7.0 because I felt the pros outweighed the cons.

When entering text into the stock messaging app it would auto space and not capitalize the first word of my text. If I would shift for a capital letter for a word it would not capitalize that word until I backed up and swiped it again. The Samsung browser which I like a whole lot will freeze at times. I have the "I" version and downloaded the XSA 6.0.1 from the app Updato.
Well, it would be a pleasure, if someone give me a hint, what's the latest 6. x Stock for the N920C.
When I'm again on 6, 7 will again come via OTA,or not?

1)You should mention coutry and csc too while asking for latest official 6.0.1 build for your device
2)And yes after downgrading to official Marshmallow 6.0.1 from Nougat 7.0, You will get OTA updates by samsung but you can prevent your device from auto updating by turning off auto-download using wifi/data from setting
I'm using Vodafone in Germany. What do you recommend?
Thanks
Back to v6

I got fed up with V7 - My battery kept running out - I kept answering calls that I wanted to reject - I lost my favourites in text messaging. - The bottom line is the battery running out all the time.
So this is what I did
My phone is a Note 5 SM-N920C and I use it in England.
I downloaded this zip file containg V6 XSG-N920CXXU2BPBA-20160309213520.zip (marked for the United Arab Emirates)
I got it from this site http://www.galaxynote5update.com/ga...are/n920cxxu2bpba-note5-sm-n920c-marshmallow/
It worked perfectly in English (not Arabic)
My battery now does the whole day again - I can reject calls again and my message favourites have come back.
The only problem i to remember to ignore the phones attempt to upgrade again to v7.
I am very happy with my phone now
