Buy Note 5: region block

Hi guys,
I'm an italian user and i want to buy a Galaxy Note 5. I know that Samsung use a region block. How i can do?
I see some model on eBay but if they are blocked i can't use my SIM.
Thx for your support

Nobody know something about? I see a lot of Note 5 on eBay but i want be secure.

SM-N920I has no region lock. It's the Asian model and should support European LTE bands.

Unless Samsung has changed something the only thing the region lock does is lock your phone to your region if it was not made for your region and was not first used in the region it was made for. So if you buy a phone that was made for a region other than yours and you use it in your region first, it is locked to your region and you cannot use it in another region. If it is used first in the region it was made for you can travel to other regions and still use it.

Sir I am using SM N920I in Pakistan & have recieved no updates. Someond told its a regional locked handset & will not get updates. Pls confirm.

N920C

Are you using your country's sim?
If yes, your device not regional locked
Just check sammobile for your device and country
Also you can use Odin to update your phone make sure that you have right firmware for device

Thankyou Sir. Will I get OTA updates in Pakistan?
In Sammobile, My country is not listed against this model?

Difference between N9200 and N9208

Any thoughts. Both N9200 and N9208 support the same LTE bands. I assume the difference is something to do with level of Chinese language support? I ask as I have N9208 and this set to English does not work consistently for keyboard predictions and S Pen handwriting input, not as good as the UK only Note 4.

I did some research. Looks like both models the same except N9208 is dual SIM. So both probably have special support for Chinese.

No such problems here - Set mine to English & everything is in English.

Perhaps I need to reset. So your S Pen input instead of keyboard with the 4 quadrants works okay?

I've installed SwiftKey so that may help with improved predictions.

Hey mate, how did you go with English language support issues on your Note 5, as I'm planning to get 9208, but want to make sure, everything works as normal. Any help is appreciated.

both N9200 and N9208 are dual-sim
but N9200 it have extra CDMA bands (2G CDMA - CDMA800 , 3G CDMA- BC0(800), 3G TD-SCDMA B34(2010), B39(1880))
N9200 are for Hong Kong and China Open
N9208 are for Taiwan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Mayanmar, Indonesia, India, Mayalesia, Philipines
in rest are the same

I have a N9200 HK model which I got imported. Now I am using the phone in India, is it possible to flash N9208 firmware on N9200 from sammobile via odin as both are dual sim phones with same hardware.

so... when I put rom from N9208 to N9200 should be ok with bands on second sim ?

I am quite certain that N9208 ROM won't work on N9200 since none of the other N9208 ROMs work on N9208 (not even N9208 Indian ROM works on Taiwan variant) (pretty differently built hardware maybe). Since there is no cross-device compatibility of N9208 with any other, hence I am guessing that vice-versa also may not be possible. It could return an error in ODIN during flashing.
Although, I'd say you may be lucky if you try downloading from sammobile and flashing through ODIN. Let us know how it goes, it may be helpful for folks who have been trying to install cross-device stock ROM on Note5 (especially us N9208 Taiwan variant users). :fingers-crossed:

N9208 ROM Compatibility

What happens if I install a N920C/i/(or any single SIM) ROM on my N9208 (dual SIM) phone? Only SIM 1 will work or my phone will be bricked?

Compatible with all N920C roms.
Thanks for looking in

Did you successfully installed the room of N920C on N9208? If you did, can you please share how you did it?
I have a N9208 from Taiwan, I live in Latin America and the modem seens not to work properly. I would really appreciate any help.

I just installed the ROM without any patches. Only SIM 1 will work so don't worry if SIM 2 doesn't work.

Don't know specifically for 920S model. But then i had a malaysian 9208 Dual sim and all i had to do was go to recovery wipe everything and install Indian firmware using ODIN. Once that is done VoLTE will come. Its to do with CSC files and Indian firmware supports Indian network CSC configuration.

Hi i am awaiting your help. Pls reply.

they are already unlocked, you just need to check if they use the same bands in NZ.
I used my N9 in England without a problem with the stock firmware.
Regards . Saludos.

What model is your device sm-n960F or SM-N9600 i am in NZ and have SM-N9600 which is the Asia and south american variant
there is no NZ Firmware for it and you wont be able to receive VOLTE (Some helpful error about not being supported on this software version) but you can get Wifi Calling from 2degrees
