[Q] what model is my phone?

I did the *2767*4387264636# in my dialer, and for my Pcode i got i9000HKDAUT...
1. how do i find out what country that is? I can't find a reference to it on anywhere other than here
2. How do i tell what firmware and ROMs I can load on it?
3. Is there another way to get 2.3 for this model other than kies?
link to where i purchased it from
Thanks so much for the help, it really means a lot

HKDAUT is unbranded in Switzerland. I have the same.
As for what ROM you would like to have, the possibilities are endless with Odin. If you want gingerbread, there is a leaked version or a Cyanogenmod 7 test version. I'm running CM7, there are a few bugs but overall I find it stable enough!
Just be careful before doing anything with Odin, as if you don't read carefully and follow instructions you risk bricking your phone!

very unusual seeing as i got my phone from a chinese seller, but thanks. How did you find out yourself?
Also, is the "i9000" an international model, or is there a specific product code which makes it one?
One more thing, how do i find the release date for my... swiss.. phone ( i still find it weird considering i'm in australia) for the official 2.3?

No release date yet for 2.3 .
Product code is tied to area country continent and network supplier of the phone .You get official updates through Kies for your product code when that network upgrades the firmware .In your case its whenever the generic/unbranded Swiss models get the update dont matter where in the world you are .
Unofficial channels firmware etc i would lokk on the Oz posts .

Stock firmware with a new an improve ROM, better theme with bigger "fonts"
Google it, I'm sure you will find it aesthetically pleasing.

Seriously though, i'm not sure what to look for when looking at ROMs. Do I need to look for compatibility our should I assume that they're all automatically compatible? Do I see if it's compatible with my product code or my firmware version or what? I'm at a loss so as to how to start searching for a custom ROM.

Carrier Branded ROMs

Is it possible to find carrier branded ROMs for this handset?
I saw on SamMobile but the list is very short!!!
Thanks

is very dificult, but you can put any rom of any country on your galaxy plus.

I thought about that...
My wife has an I9001 but I need the branded ROM before flashing a new one in case of warranty need... How can I save the one she has now for future reflashing?

Only using CWM/Faemod (backup option in there) but still it would be hacked then. You'd need to go back to the stockrom mentioned in the Settings --> About (model, firmware, baseband, kernel, build). What is in there? Please post and we'll tell you what ROM to use...
PS. Topic should not be in the development thread - use the Q&A for this type of questions.

Some questions...

I am going to buy a galaxy camera but I've some questions about this product.
1) I live in Italy and I found a galaxy camera imported from another country in a shopping online site (so I can save money).
If I buy it, can I use an Italian sim card? So is the camera sim/region locked?
2) Is 4G/LTE supported? And has anyone tried how fast it is?
3) I saw on sammobile that latest Italian kies firmware was released this month, January 2013. Can I flash the Italian firmware also if galaxy camera is not an Italian product?
4) Does flashing a new firmware with Kies increase the download counter? So do I lose my warranty in this way? And can I reset counter with jig o triangle away?

1) I live in Italy and I found a galaxy camera imported from another country in a shopping online site (so I can save money).

2) Is 4G/LTE supported? And has anyone tried how fast it is? Only on the EK-GC120
3) I saw on sammobile that latest Italian kies firmware was released this month, January 2013. Can I flash the Italian firmware also if galaxy camera is not an Italian product? Flash away! You can flash what you like
4) Does flashing a new firmware with Kies increase the download counter? So do I lose my warranty in this way? And can I reset counter with jig o triangle away? It only increases if you put something custom on there, like if you root it, but it can be reset with "Triangle Away"

1: if it's unlocked(usually is) you can use any(micro) SIM, but 4G might not be the right frequency.
2: there are 3G and 4G versions, so for 4G you need to get the 4G version and check if it supports the frequencies used by your carrier.
3: only if it's the exact same model.
I used the UK update on my Dutch camera and it works fine.
4: flashing a firmware with kies should always be safe.
if kies increases your counter Samsung made a mistake and can't legally void your warranty.
kies however can only flash updates for the region your camera is from to my knowledge.
you can use Odin to flash a different region rom, which is safe as long as the rom is an unmodified stock rom.
depending on which rom you have installed triangle away may or may not work, it should work on older roms and will most likely receive updates(if it didn't already) for newer roms.
a little note on region switching though: there really is not much need if it's a European version.
all European roms include a very large list of languages in settings, which includes Italian.
the only region that really has any advantage would be UK, because they got the last big update before anyone else.

R: Some questions...
Thanks for your answers. So is the latest UK firmware the best? I thought it was the Italian one because I think it's the latest released in Europe.

Can't really comment on that as I've not personally tried the Italian one to make an informed comparison. Usually firmware released around the same time, are essentially the same firmware just with specific region changes.
But looking at the change list numbers, there maybe enough of a difference to say there are more code changes in the latest Italian release.
Only way to know which is "better", is to try them both out yourself, unless someone here who has tried both, can answer that question for you.

Hi,
is there a way to backup the efs-folder ?

change from SM-N920K to SM-N920(?)

Guys, so I'm getting my Note 5 finally
The problem is that I'm getting an SM-N920K model. It's from olleh.com and embedded with preinstalled stuff and a logo of the operator when I turn the phone on.
What can be done to get rid of this? I didn't find and stock rom that is suitable for sm-n920k version. Is it possible to change from n920k to n920C or n920i that have stock versions?
Thank you!

No i dont think so... S/K/T these are korean variants. May b someone make a custom kernel then it works...
