Upon my recent move from Japan to mainland Asia, I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note that is not tied to any specific carrier, and I was wondering about the model Number. The phone gives the model as B920 in the "About Phone" section. Is this model number compatible with the ROMS listed in this section? I absolutely love this device, and would love to modify it the same way I have done my Asus Transformer Prime and my gTab. Thank you all for the help and information.

There is no such model I believe...
Android version/Baseband ver/Kernal ver/Build no./ ?
Any pictures?
Front/back/without backcover/without battery+backcover
I think you might have a bootleg dude.
Baseband: MAUI.11AMD.W11.19.SP.V2.2011/08/13 15:33
Android: 4.0.3
Kernal: 2.6.35.7
Build #: B9320_V1.4.5_20121521
Custom Build: 1337751970
It works great, but if it is a bootleg... oh well. That is a risk you take sometimes. I can always use it as a dedicated remote for my HTPC!
Thanks for all the help!

I think that's a fake
Go on sammobile and put your serial number on factory guarantee and see what comes up.

Not a real GNote , 100% sure of this. Good buy for a touchscreen remote control..
Thanks for the information. That is what I thought when I bought it. Touchscreen remote, here I come!!!
Did u not kno it was fake? U can just tell by the battery, no logo nothing. Does it perform well

The display model had all the necessary logos and the like, but when I started using it and playing with it, I noticed some differences. So I had an idea that it was fake, after the fact. That is why I came here to delve the depths of everyone's knowledge. It performs well, and does the job. Since it is a knock-off/ bootleg, I arm concerned about durability so it will be the remote control for my XBMC HTPC! A role in which it will shine.
Upshot of the whole story, yes, I got taken. First time ever when it comes to electronics. So I have to laugh instead of getting angry. Thanks everyone for all the information!
Went out an purchased a real one this time! and I absolutely love it. Thanks to everyone for helping realize that I had bought a knock-off. Boy do I feel kind of dumb.
Dude it's so totally obvious from the pictures it's a fake if you ever looked at a pic of a real one. Glad you got the genuine stuff as it's a completely different world.

About 4,500 Baht ($150 US). It came with ICS "pre-installed"!!! For everyone wondering, yes I feel less than smart about the whole situation. I can only laugh about the whole thing. It is working great combined with XBMC as a Media Center remote!
can I buy it?

Take the goophone y5 as there is already a community for it.(Check my signature)
XDA is not an iOS forum. Moved to Off-topic.
Google meizu mx. Its already rooted thanks to xda. Its eats all those fake iPhones. Retina display. 4 inches. And something called responsive light notification.

Hi guys, I think there is quite an unbelievable offer for Austria Hutchinson users. Basically you get this phone for 69€ on a 20€ x 24 months contract. With the contract you get also 1000 minutes 1000 SMS and Internet unlimited so should be fine. Before I saw that I thought of sticking to my galaxy s for a while.
Now that said I would love to take it as long as the offer lasts, but I am concerned about 3 things:
a) i am a custom Rom user since 2 years. Never been on stock again. And I looooooove cyanogenmod! Do you think there will be custom roms for this?
b) the camera quality. While I'm not too much concerned about the video quality, I use my phone as a compact camera outside to take pictures. So how bad is it in your opinion? And do you think will it improve with upcoming updates?
c) you know something about the possibility of unlocking this phone?
I guess probably I'm asking too much but maybe someone knows better.
Thanks in advance!

It's only an okay camera, there's better, the Galaxy 3 has a better one for instance, not by that much, but clearly. No idea if this is a hardware limitation, but I'd guess so.

No idea ... but I guess with root you should be able to do more or less anything,e specially, once CWM etc are there? But I'm no pro.
We have root and CWM now, devs are working on CM10 and 4.0.4 Sense 4.1, so soon we'll have great ROMs :laugh:
And i think we'll have unlocked bootloader soon too.
Hey guys,
This phone looks really cool. I was thinking of buying this phone. I want a phone that can get rooted and a lot of ROMs. Do u think Im in the right place?
I have read a lot of reviews and from what I can gather is that this phone is a tad better than the One X and a loses the battle just barely vs the GS3.
What do you guys think? What are the pros and cons of this phone?
Also which is better looking? The white or black model?
Thanks in advance guys!

You shall like the white one. Also, your favorite food is grilled chicken, and you'll only drink root beer. Also, move to Mumbai, which is your favorite city from now on. Any other totally personal decisions you can't make I'm happy to answer, too.
Hey thanks dude!
I was asking because I've never owned anything but Motorola Androids and they have locked bootloaders. Ive never seen this phone in person and the reviews online only show the white one, so I asked here for this awesome community's opinion...
Also I like grilled chicken but prefer steak. Hate root beer, and if I lived anywhere it would be 'MERICA. Ill be sure to visit Mumbai sometime though maybe we can have a beer together.

Is LG policy still suck and unreliable? Since the older models like O2X said to not get ICS!
Yesterday I saw it in the market ,and it has the same price as HOX , I saw some comparison which end by no winner, yet the HOX really has a good support by both the company & xda community ,so from a fear comparison aspect ,which yr choice in case of : screen,camera quality and shutter speed ,video quality(some said its better in the OneX even with has low fps compared to O4X! ), and battery, thx ahead

This is not an answering machine...
Personally, I chose the LG because it has exchangable battery and micro SD slot. They both have Tegra 3 and good displays, so it's no big difference hardware-wise. HTC has a large fanbase, so you'll have more custom roms on the HOX, plus the possibility to unlock your bootloader with HTCdev. LG might learn and do something similar, but as they're not open in saying what they do, no one can tell.
I was checking on eBay yesterday cuz I want a LG O4X and saw there was a developer version kinda like the Razr has one too... can anyone confirm this?

Hello all. What about temerature of subject's surface when it's CPU 100% loaded?
Hello guys,
I really do not want to spam the forum , but I see myself obliged to talk about the biggest deal of this year ... It is between Samsung and Asus !!!
As many of you, I want to buy a tablet , a good one ... and to be honest, the best ones available on the market now are the TF701T and the new Note 10.1... If you do not agree , that's ok , you should respect my choice !!
Anyway, if you look around in the forums of these two tablets here on XDA, you will find nothing but problems (lags, bloatware, bad build quality ....) and that's very very annoying for a tablet with such a price !!!!
Yeah they have both good stuff inside their stomach, but it's not enough !!!
It's like if Asus and Samsung are cooprating now.... releasing high end products with problems since the begining.
Please be objective !!!
Uh..
You got so excited, you forgot to ask the question..

Great , thnks for the small review . Do you have a dock ? if yes, everything is good?? and from where did you get it ? thanks in advance
People who are satisfied will not complain.. So on this forum you will always find more people complaining than happy people. Nevertheless are the negative things just something that let you make a good decision for your new device.
I'm a linux user and my mission is too get linux working on this devices. Still I'm impressed by the usability of a keyboard and touchpad on android. I see the device more as a laptop than tablet (or maybe better.. it is both).. but for a laptop, is has an incredible battery time!
And the screen and its resolution is just awesome!
mine has a loose bezel and thats about it. no dock yet

Was that the best you can come up with? Like really?
If you were in the TF700 threads last year you would have seen we ALL had problems and I most certainly voiced them. For me, Asus finally got it right with the tablet. Although, there's some issues with the dock. I don't own a dock, so no problems for me.
Lastly, I agree with the poster above. A site like this is seeked out by several types of people, such as the tech savy and tweakers. But mostly, it's folks that have a complaint, or need info. Does it bother you that someone is having success with their device?

The emoticon shows i'm just kidding .... and no it doesnt bother me at all , i would be very happy if there are units without problems. I even havent buy one yet. Im more interested in the asus' but you know ... reading all these negative reviews ... come on , put yourself in my shoe!!
Indeed, I'm a happy user too. Nothing wrong with my device. Got an azerty keyboard dock with no isues at all.
I was waiting for the tf701 but when i was traveling in the US i could only find the Samsung and since neigther will be available in my country anytime soon i bought the Samsung.
My previous tablet was the tf300 and i wax happy with it until it was stolen.
One thing that i can say for sure is that Samsung did huge improvements and the difference that was so clear for me in the past between the tf300 and the first generation of the note is almost gone.
So far I'm happy with the Samsung and despite what others said my device is flying, I'm playing dead trigger 2 from the sd external card with 0 lag at all. Of course that turning off some pre installed apps and function helps a lot.
I'm sure the either choice will be a good choice.

You'll find negative comments on all device threads. That's why they are here. You'll rarely see happy consumers on these forums. You get more of a sense of how happy people are with their device on Amazon. As flawed as the TF700T was last year, the majority of consumers still loved their device. Go figure.. Lol.

Well, devs need users and testers for feedback, testing, development, ideas and more
You (talking generally here) want something - you need to get off your high chair and either show some initiative and work toward a common goal
or keep whining and pretend to be entitled to judge and have an opinion of others that you virtually know nothing about - well great, but that does change exactly nothing (and causes abound frustration to become even more)
Or do you expect that miraculously out of nowhere without any work of preparation, thought and development - there pops out a ROM and is immediately 100% fully usable
Thanks to @moonbutt74 and his tester(s) for getting this in a close to daily driver material state,
There appears to be issues with microSD (external storage) detection on Ivy (Z4/Z3+) SINGLE Sim compared to Sumire (Z5) SINGLE Sim,
so that currently doesn't work
I don´t think the Z3+ is a bad phone in any way. I think Sony screwed up the release and promotion of it alot when they named it Z3+ instead of Z4 (like in Japan). They also very quickly released the Z5 which didn´t have the heat issue.
I come from a long line of phones with great community developed ROMS (HTC Desire, HTC Desire HD, Samsung S4, Moto X) and I have every confidence that this phone could be great too if the devs got all the files and info they needed.

Hi,
I'm looking into buying a S21 Ultra or S21+ Live Demo unit for multimedia use only, the seller told me there is no software support since may 2021, is it possible to flash the rom of a "normal" variant to get the latest update ?
Thanks you a lot
bump please
Demo units are not for sale, therefore almost always illegally obtained. Expect no support.
My advise is to stay away from demo units.
Standard international, up to date rom, can be flashed using odin on these device

Expect some issues. If you are looking for multimedia, remember when you do any unofficial mods to any Samsung phone. You will lose HD Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.etc. Unofficial mods dumps Google's Widevine keys. If it's not very cheap then normal S21U stay away from it. If it's like half price, It looks like a deal.
But as myself, if I was planning to buy demo unit I probably choose OnePlus or Xiaomi because they are more easily modable.

once you learn the ups and downs of flashing, you will realize alot s possible.. live demos should be no exception.

Except, you can't enable OEM unlock on the device, and the download mode screen is totally different to the standard S21...
Theory and practice are different. So I guess your response is not first hand experience?

There is only a few limitation like some benchmark that can't be installed, you can't connect to Samsung account but overall is very well usable, I guess I could go more in depth in rom flashing, rooting and so on but I don't really care right now
It can be OEM unlocked, I have the warning message at each boot that my bootloader is unlocked.
Also, I don't think it can OTA update, it's running the april update and it says that no update is available.
