Which version of the Note did I get ? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys and Gals
Was just looking through all the Roms etc.. (more over the Official ones)
and I am not sure which model of note I got sent
I bought it on contract from Dial-a-phone and it was unlocked out of the box.
It did a few updates the day I bought it.
But I'm curious as to which version I got.
More for when ICS does finally get released and hopefully I'll be one of the first not having to wait for Country / Carrier updates.
My phone shows

}
Which version / country is this for etc...
Is it Europe or Open Europe or some other country that Dial-a-phone got their stock from
by the way what is the difference between Europe and Open Europe ?
I'm not sure which one I should be going by as I have the following -
a baseband that says
N7000XLA4
A Kernal that has N7000XXLA6 in it
and Build number of Gingerbread.XXLA6
I am in the UK by the way
I know when I had my Galaxy S2 I flashed that to open Europe to get rid of the O2 Carrier Garbage
So Don't mind if I have to flash my Note to another one to benefit from a Quicker update to ICS when its released
Though there is no Carrier Bloatware on this at all.
Thanks

Hi there,
I think you are using the Europe Build.
The difference between the Europe and the Open Europe Build is simple:
Open Europe= It's leeked for developers, this Build includes dev tools
Europe = Build for users
That's why I think you are using the Europe Version. I don't think you bought a developers Note with the Open Europe Version. I don't know if this Build is sold at all.

Ok, sounds good then.
Hopefully the Europe version will get an ICS update first being as there's no carrier to wait for.
But then again I have read the UK Unlocked/Sim Free Galaxy S2 is still waiting as apparently Samsung want the carriers to do theirs first and see if any issues come up before they release a Sim Free update as these get used on all networks..
One can only hope this won't be the case with the Note..

europe version
I got the same as you

Unusual Note

A friend of mine sent me this image, he has had his Note for some time now and only just recently got an update to 4.0.4 .He bought the note without a carrier so there is nothing extra in it.
However, he's never been able to root the thing.
I have used this site before, ages ago with my pocket PC's and more recently for my HTC Sensation.
I replaced my kernal for a 1.5Ghz overclocked version with mikes ics rom and rooted, and the phone has just been awesome. However a few months back when I did some digging for his note I was unable to find anything on it, and now that its updated I thought i'd give it another shot. However im not sure if the information I need is in the image he sent.

oh, blah, How could i of missed that. Ok thankyou
Question, I assume I want the
N7000ZSLPM---4.0.4/12.07.18-N7000OZSLPM
Is this correct? I note there is nothing that matches the Baseband number.
Also, Honk kong or Taiwan? It was purchased in Australia.
I found my HTC less confusing, even though they are more work

Blur_Version.91.2.29001.XT890.Retail.en.GB is the officialñ firmware for the UK
Blur_Version.91.2.26001.XT890.Retail.en.EU is the firmware for the rest of Europe.
In practice, they don't have any differences other than the update rollout speed may differ (but by a little time lapse)

As you can see here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=13
The two files are not the same in size, and if you decompress the "system_signed" one has 25mb more...
I don't think it is just a difference on rollout area...

I received my moto with en.GB but I had SIM issues as You said so reflashed it to en.EU but it didn't help so it pushed me to change carrier. Maybe some additional stuff like preinstalled apps are different but no significant difference.
I received my RAZRi from Germany with Blur_Version.91.2.26001.XT890.Retail.en.EU installed.
After some fail modding and bootloops i installed the Blur_Version.91.2.29001.XT890.Retail.en.GB.
What i have noticed is that the en.GB has newer Build-Date and i have a better Battery-runtime with less wakelocks...
For comparison
- my en.GB.: Build-Date is "3. Feb 2013" with Kernel "3.0.34-gc6f8fd7" from "17. Jan 2013" Build-Nr: 9.8.2I-50_SMI-29.1359956748
What is your "Dates and Numbers" for en.EU ???

Will a carrier based Note 8 950F be able to flash a non carrier official firmware?

Long story short. I have purchased a brand new imported UK Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F. Upon opening the brand new box, I got nothing out of the ordinary. Booted the phone and what do you know? It's locked on Vodafone UK... (it didn't accept my Vodafone RO sim for some reason). Talked with the guy, the guy freaked out because he sent me the wrong device and told me I'll get a phone unlock code within the next 3 days.
After I'll unlock the device, I wonder. Can I flash a normal, non bloated BTU firmware onto the phone over the UK VOD firmware that's currently on it? I adore the device but I ****ing hate being stuck with carrier **** especially knowing that Samsung is slow with updates and it being a carrier based firmware, it will be slower also. On my old S8+ I did the same.. worked like a charm, Knox not tripped, phone was running stock non bloated firmware and to this date is receiving updates normally and is working properly.
I heard that Samsung has decided to region lock the devices from S9 forward (or was it Note 8?) but I'm not worried as I like the UK firmware.
TL;DR: Got a Note 8 UK Vodafone locked phone. Can I flash over the UK VOD firmware, a normal BTU firmware?
I am asking strictly because I heard that the Note 8 might be region locked and that could maybe interfere with my plans.
its not region locked.
Yes, you can!
And I wouldn't worry about the region lock. Because UK and Romania are both EU countries and the region lock is enforced for the greater EU area.
This is what it shows on Eu Region Lock devices.

Typically, in the US, the U1 version will change CSC when you install a working SIM from a different carrier. Of course, this won't work for you since you won't have a US carrier SIM. There may be ways to force-change the CSC on Snapdragon, but I haven't found them to work.
What's weird is that your phone already appears to be a multi-CSC ROM (you can see this in the "XAA" for the CSCs there). So you don't need a new ROM, but you still need to find a way to actually force the switch. I'm not sure if that's possible.
Note that per your CSC, this was originally a VZW (Verizon) phone, and is only "currently" an SPR phone... because it doesn't see a matching CSC to work with.
Anyway, all that said, I don't believe USA phones can have native call recording either. USA laws are crazy in this regard, so I don't know if any ROM will allow that here. That being said, I have been using BoldBeast recorder on my Android 11 phone and it works great. I do believe it won't work on A12, which is part of the reason I have not upgraded my phone to A12. You may want to give that a try, anyway, to see if it can work?

i think because the company unlocked the phone for the user after he paid the full price
before that the device was locked to their career

S20 FE 5G still on android 11. Can I update without rooting the phone?

I've bought this phone second hand online a year ago and I thought since it's not declared as stolen on IMEI it would be fine.
From what a guy told me it's from france so it's probably connected to a carrier from there, but I haven't figured out how to check myself.
I'd like to know if there any way to get the update without breaking functionality of the phone, like google pay, bluetooth or other issues i've usually had with rooted phones in the past.

It's worth mentioning I tried updating using smart switch and it didn't work.
you can download firmware suitable for your location and flash it with Odin all without triggering Knox, you can even keep your apps but with such a big jump your cache will need wiping afterward from recovery.
if you look in settings / about phone / software info / service provider software version. you should see 3 letters being listed there 3 times. that your (current) CSC code, googling that will tell which network or country the phone is from. you also need to find out the CSC version you want to download for your country. don't pick a CSC for your network, pick for your country.
Looks like your carrier tag is SFR, so if you search for firmware with model: SM-G781B and country: SFR, you will find firmware for it with Android version 13.
