Dear All
Samsung Note GT-N7000
Android 4.1.2
My brother purchase by mistake a new Samsung Note GT-N7000 that is meant for use in Korea.
But here in Singapore, the set seem not compatible.
While I can make and receive calls and receive SMS, , sending SMS is limited to 80 characters
vs the standard 160 characters. Besides, there are a lot of Korean characters / messages
on the KB and other pop up menus, which I cannot comprehend..
I contacted Samsung service center and they tell me they cannot do much about
this , as this is a set meant for use in Korea.
Now I think, maybe I should take the risk and reinstall the firmware and SW.
( Perhaps Cyanogen or something similar ? ).
I am not skilled in this.
May I request anyone here to point to me some tutorial to guide me through step by step
in installing a new firmware / software and make it fully English compatible and for use in Singapore ?
I don't mind losing the warranty, ( if there is any ).
I just hope I don't brick the fone. It is only 3 days old.
Thank you so much.

Yes, It is GT-N7000
Only one question: Will it completely solve my problem as mentioned in my post..
or are there any uncertainties.
Thank you very much for your help.
You should take extra caution to varify it is n7000 or it is shv160 for korea. Use wrong rom will brick phone. Do some more search to varify first.

I went to "About phone " and checked.
Model number shown is: SHV-E160L
Baseband version E160LKLJMK1
KERNEL: 3.0.31-1034927
BUILD NO: JZO54K.E160LKLJMK4
My mistake - Earlier I looked only at the packing box: Which shows GT - N7000
Thanks for highlighting this to me.
So, should I look for SHV-E160L Rom ?
Yes.

I took a look at that page.
It is filled with dire warnings and tech terms which is Greek to me.
My original problem was that I could not make calls or send out texts.
When I want to make a call - either manually enter the number or selecting from contacts
a +82 prefix was added and the number is shown as invalid. Or Invalid recipient.
For texts, I could not enter any number or even select from contacts.
Now, thanks to a friend, I installed a dialer from Google play and the
phone seems to work normal. Still a few minor glitches are there which I think
can be fine tuned later on. A lot of time wasted tinkering with these devices. !
What surprises me is this. Here is a nice well designed fone with great
functionality. But in some areas, the designers seem to have slept on small details.
Just look at the flimsy back cover for example.
In this respect, the Apple I phone is tops.
The attention to detail is perfect.
My question: When there are now nearly a billion owners of smart fones.
How did this mature industry end up in a situation where endless bugs and glitches
seem to be in every fone model they put out into the market and cause headaches
to the customers ? - This is an avoidable tiresome experience to the users.
Another thing.
I found out there is a hidden code for this fone. 319 712 358.
The PW is: 0821
And there you set the mode to GSM only.
I also tried Cyanogenmod installer.
But it says that this model is not supported.
Thanks again.

Hi, Thanks if your reading this and answering me i really can understand what to do so ill just ask so many stupid question and see if you know some of them. so First how do i know if i have a GSM / CDMA?. Next if i got either the two one what is the best way to optimize my Tab. in a certain way that i can root/flash/rom/hack or etc. and my main concern is that if i was to return all it back like a factory restore can it be done?.
So in anyway possible help me i bought my SGT in Philippines and we get like a Open Line SGT i can use all our Telcom providers and use Different Sim Cards so i really can't tell what to do first.

You have the GSM Tab, I'm sure. CDMA is NOT very common in the Philippines, and you have a sim card slot, CDMA doesn't have this.
Also, unless your Tab was illegally imported from somewhere, you have the international version.

I recommend you try out your stock ROM first, and read heavily on these forums. Know your Tab, current firmware, etc..
Once you've decided to play around your tab's ROM, then follow these guidelines. NOTE: It is possible that you will end up with a very expensive paperweight (brick) if you make a mistake somewhere along the way. Tread carefully.
First, enter *#1234# in your phone dialer to get your Tab's firmware.
2nd: backup your data (in Kies) and apps (in Titanium Backup)
3rd: Root your device using SuperOneClick (this voids your warranty)
SuperOneClick with instructions can be found here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
4th: Verify that your "bootloader" is not locked. Last few releases by Samsung locked the bootloader so flashing the firmware may damage or brick your Tab.
You can use Bootloader patch to check. It's here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071&highlight=*#1234#
Again, read carefully and follow the directions..
5th: Finally, one of the best ROMs out there is Overcome. You will find all you need here. --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
I suggest you print out the included instructions (in pdf). You will also find all the links to files that you need in this thread.
I cannot stress further the gravity of your decisions... .. Follow the steps carefully and faithfully..
6th: If something goes wrong (I hope not), please don't blame me.
Best of luck!
P.S.

Thanks for the warning i kinda know Bricking and doing this to Galaxy Tab is Voiding your Warranty but i was so stupid i cant tell if i am using GSM but now for what you told me GSM is a Tab that use Sim and for using my Tab now its kinda great but i wanna maximize my Tab so i can do different things and for now ill just read and read but still going to wait for more things and before i do this i am going to enjoy my Tab. Already Sold my iPad and i kinda want to know if SGT 7" is already good or ill be buying the new SGT 8.9 and 10.1 so for now thank you very much and already reading some files but wish some Filipino already tried this but i think ill do just fine i can understand some part but still need to read first and will ask again if need help. BTW are you a Filipino or ???
I'm a Filipino too.
Voiding your warranty should be no problem since you can unroot your phone back. Moreover, I'm pretty sure that you got the GSM one since as Sef pointed out, it's pretty rare for us to use a CDMA device (partly thanks to our backwards and slow internet back home).
Moreover, to optimize your device, just try the ROMs out. You should read the guides how to flash them, of course, whether you wanna use Heimdall or Odin.
Pinoy ako! Hehehe.. (Im Filipino too! LOL)
I feel the same way now about flashing.. I am confident in doing it but am still doing heavy research. Take note that some roms do not have all the features of the stock rom, and they have bugs too.
Maybe in a month or so, I`ll flash this tab and then update this thread.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Okay Thanks ill be doing it too in a few weeks or months just need to double check some details and if i make it success full ill make a guide how i did mine. wish someone in phil can make a video or guide . i keep hearing that using mod ROMs rocks. but still lets see what happen.
hi bro. im also in the phils. ive got my tab from smart for two months, and i'd say im quite satisfied with the stock rom. with all the posts i read from various threads regarding problems in installing custom roms (the latest, also here, regarding overcome sucking the tab's batt), im not fully convinced to try it. my two cents: why fix something that is not broken?
ive had my sonyericsson xperia x8 also for quite sometime now, and flashing it is much less complicated than doing it in the tab. i simply cant risk bricking my tab!
also,a wk ago i had my tab repaired in samsung head office because of dim display. they replaced the lcd even if my tab is already rooted. so rooting i think doesnt make you lose your warranty! they even upgraded my firmware. love the new date, time and weather widgets.
i will just wait for the gingerbread upgrade this may!

Hi all,

PHONE : N7000DDLB1
CSC : N7000DDLA1
I need to upgrade to an ICS ROM (with root). Please direct me to a proper guide
I Followed this guide. It's really a simple guide for anyone .
I've purchased mobile Odin Pro. Can I use it with ICS as well ?
YES. I Can .
Can I switch back to my CF-Rooted GB again (I've CWM backups) ?

ICS Repack Problems
Hi all,
I managed to flash ICS Repack by Chainfire on my galaxy note today. It is pretty cool and really fast. But I've few questions to ask regarding this new ROM. Please be kind enough to direct me to a appropriate thread if these questions are already been asked and solved.
After I flash ICS Repack, I cannot find CWM anymore. What happened to it ? and how I can get it back ?
How I can go back to my old GB rooted ROM (I've CW backup of that rooted LB2 GB ROM) ?
By now, this ICS version cannot render South Asian languages. but LB2 rendered it very well. Are there any option to get that language support on this ICS ?
I need to change this Keyboard (Chinese) to English. Any other method to change it (Instead of installing GO Keyboard) ?
In our county phone numbers have two formats (our numbers are start with "0" but receiving calls don't have that starting "0" ). But in this ICS ROM, those 2 numbers are Identifying as two different numbers. Any method to fix that issue ?
Can I get my CPU speed to 1.4GHz again ?
Please be kind enough to help me on these matters.
Thank You.
This is why users should study BEFORE they flash. Anyways. Flash CWM, boot it, resrore backup. Cant help you much. Just got my Note happy studying

Stick with GB for now...people working with ICS around here like to make you jump through hoops just to get your phone to work...so if you're not will to spend the time on it, then stick with GB...no fuss, no muss.
The answer to 3. is a very simple 'yes, you can always go back'.
Also, massive thanks for updating your OP with the answers you have found. If only all question-askers did this.

Hello Gang,
I own a N7000 and I did the original 4.0.3 update via Kies. Boy am I dissappointed in how the Note runs now...not only me but everyone in my office which has one assigned to as well. I work for the trademarketing company for Samsung in Dominican Republic and I am not supposed to load a non-original ROM on my device but....screw it. That being said....I am wanting a stock like ROM, preferably with the new TouchWiz interface a-la-Note-II.
Any suggestions?

Note all at own risk, also of loosing warrantee. Also note cause its a company phone you can get FIRED for altering it.
Pause and think about that.
Companies work that way,and you wouldn't be the first.....Considering you work on intellectual property department you are compromizing your companies security by altering. You dont want that...
Perhaps best to ask your company when 404 is landing in your country and go that way.
If you dont care anyway here are the steps:
edit: read read read, also read stickies of forum. Be warned you become flash addict
step 1 Secure way back. Check if the original rom on phone is available, so you can always go back to condition as is now. Download it and save on safe location. You might need to check your csc, this can be found by dialing *#06# for emei, then dial *#272*yourimeihere#. That csc is the countries phone csc, probably Argentina. Updates are rolled out according to this csc. So as example if a rom is dbt, its either debitel or open germany. The rom then is a german rom. Just because your in country x doesnt mean phone is. You will note there are no us n7000 roms, as it was never launched in US.
Step 2 Secure efs, as this contains important info, you might need to restore before or after going back to current condition. Root your phone, make efs backup save on multiple locations.
How, see dr Ketans thread in sticky section development for root. See toolbox thread dr Ketan in general section for how to backup efs. Save multiple locations(on and off the phone)
Step 3 Download 4.0.4 rom of choice and flash it throught dr Ketans way in same thread as root. You need not root it, but its nice to do so. Flashin different csc roms can corrupt efs, which is another good reason to back it up.
Step 4 Test and enjoy!
Again, all at your own risk, I take no responsibility for your actions. You do this your fault.

Thanks Baz.....actually the company is pretty cool....my S2 is pimped out...but the only thing that they dint want is clients testing a modded phone...cause customers might expect what it doesnt have.

And also, if this question is somehow "overdone" (I can see it being a question at a regular basis) OR posted in the wrong forum. Then sorry!

I installed a custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305N a while back. First I used clockworkmod to fix a loader, rooted and all that stuff. Then I installed the only Cyanogenmod I could find. (It wasn't an officially supported one at the time, I have no idea how that rom is doing now however)
I then reformatted everything to the original loader and rom. It looks mostly the same as it did before, but with some new features.
However, I need to send the phone to repair. The battery is defect and the charger seems to drain its battery.
A phone support guy that I know, told me that it is possible to see a "history" on all the roms and roots and etc, that has been done to the phone. In order to make sure that nobody reloads the warranty Rom and sends it off to repair. Is this true?
If so, how can I fix this? Is there any way to just reboot the phones so called history? Or did he just tell me this to scare me off?
Is there any way I can test my Samsung if it is eligable for warranty, without sending it off to their repair? (And do they check all phones for custom roms?)
Thanks for any help! Sorry for the LONG thread.
I am not that good with computers and programming. Could be worth mentionning! I managed to load the rom through tutorials, that's it. =P

Thank you very very much!
In fact, thanks to all good replies. The triangle thing was what I was looking for! I am a total rookie but I feel as though I learned quite a lot. Perhaps I should root my new phone now. "Haha".
No but, I actually got one question.
How do I know if it really is my official rom? I read somewhere, that every telephone-operator has their own Rom. So just picking one of the Roms might not work?
How do I know if the source is correct? I'm a bit concerned that I might format the phone, send it in, and they notice that I flashed with the wrong Stock Rom.
I have a Galaxy S3 i9305N with the operator Tele2 in Sweden. Sammobile.com has 3 stock Roms available (One only for members though) Which one is correct? Or does it not matter?
Thanks for any help again.
Many apologies if I am a bad googler. This is one of my first issues I have never been able to Google my way out of ;P
EDIT:
GT-I9305N Sweden 2013 March I9305NXXBMC2 I9305NCOVBMC2
GT-I9305N Nordic countries 2013 January 4.1.2 I9305NXXBMA2 I9305NNEEBMA2
GT-I9305N Sweden 2012 September 4.1.1 I9305NXXALIA I9305NCOVALI7
Those three are my result. How do I know which one I should go with?
EDIT2:
I was looking around a bit. I think the right one would be 2013 March (Top) right? Thing is, I find another one through a Swedish forum with a thread just like this one.. and it puzzles me what to pick. Does it matter at all? I used the one from the Swedish thread a while back, and I noticed it differed a bit from the Rom I had on the phone from purchase... Is it best to go with one from Sammobile? (And if so, which one.. )
Okay my friend! I checked it out...
On http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9305N are only 3 firmwares for the I9305N
BMC2 is for Sweden and 4.2.1
BMA2 is for Finland and also 4.2.1 but
ALIA is for Sweden an 4.1.1!
Now is the question with which firmware your phone was coming?
I guess, my friend, I don't know the answer... you could try each firmware...
I'm sorry, I really don't know!

From what provider did you buy the phone (after you know that search the internet for the firmwares it provides to your phone).You only need to search a bit then you will find the rom you need. Gl.
