Fake Samsung Galaxy Note 5 - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I recently bought a note 5 thought it was real then notice it was a fake note 5. My question is can you install a custom rom on it? I already got it rooted but I'm having problems install twrp or any other recovery software. I have no use for the phone I just want to experiment with roms etc on the phone.

What is a fake? Please show us some detailed pictures

The phone is a counterfeit phone which is made in china. It's not a real phone made by samsung. I'm trying to install a custom rom but when I do i just reboots and never goes into recovery.

if it's a fake phone then you have to find the rom compatible for it and not use a custom rom made for the real one.

Yes you can but you will need to find fake custom rom to install on this phone. ??

[Q] Touch recovery?

Hi, I wanted to know can I install the galaxy note i717 recovery on n7000? Or is there a touch recovery for us? And if I would install will everything work or go "BOOM"? Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app
don't think there is a touch version yet for n7000.
I guess the speedmod kernel uses the att note cwm version and it works on n7000... so may be.. but not sure

No, the i717 is a totally different Note than the N7000. I would highly recommend you do NOT flash anything to your Note that belongs to another Note version.
There used to be a TWRP recovery in the AOKP builds (ICS) but I think it was removed. Also used to be a touch CWM recovery in Hydrocore kernels, but Gavin removed it because of a little problems. So you are stuck right now, but maybe eventually the touch recoveries will get worked out. It's not too hard to just use the keys.
I agree.. the software (and even the hardware part) workings on the i717 should not be mix up the N7000, else you could risk getting a soft brick on your phone (worse a hard one).
Best you can do is file a Request under the I717 section to have a developer mod or create a touch recovery on the phone.

[Q] my i9000 boot loops a bazillion times

hi guys
my i9000 boot loops a bazillion times before it finally decides to start up normally.
I was wondering what could be the cause of it and if there's a way to fix this
the phone is rooted on stock gb 2.3.3
(just rooted the phone, didn't flash any custom rom or kernel on it)
everything else works great, except the boot loop problem when I reboot the device sometimes
if flashing is a solution, please recommend something that works great with the i9000
I'm really thinking to flash it, but thought to ask here first
thanks!

Flashing it is probably the best option IMO you should give one of the many 4.2.2 ROMs a try the i9000 loves it

is it possible to jump straight from 2.3.3 rooted stock, to a 4.2.2 rom like you suggest?
and what are you having on your i9000 m8?

I'm pretty sure most of the mods work for i8190T as well, as long as you dont mess with your modem or efs.
Have you tried any of the roms, like CM10.1, AOKP?
Just make a nandroid in recovery before you ,and if it doesn't work just restore your backup.

Even though it stats its for i8190 or other, it works in the N & L variant, you'll lose NFC though if you are on the N variant, but you still keep your baseband from the L variant
So the roms will pretty much work as long you dont tamper with your efs/modem folders
Have they made a way to back those up other then me finding and making copys of them elsewhere, that sgs2mini toolkit is even limited to what can be done with the i8190T

EFS is most important to backup. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37310230&postcount=21
"/modemfs" is mmcblk0p12. Use this to backup whole partition to external sd:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/extSdCard/modemfs.img
Baseband can be found in official firmware from sammobile.
Did you have any luck? I also got the GT-I8190T model (from NZ too).
Is there an alternative to the magic rooter? I really don't have the money to buy the "auto update" feature to root the T model (it's like $30-40NZD).
Simply install N version ROM. There is no technical difference between them except the device name.
Alot of L variant users uses 8190 version for daily use with no bugs
So, who is going to go first??!!
I also am a kiwi with the TDCAMA3 on the XT network. I have two wifi tablets with CM ROMS but I am chary of phones with their frequ band requirements. Would like to start with rooting and cwm recovery, though.
Would also not like losing NFC just in case I find a use for it!
Look I8190T is just a model with 16GB of internal storage and NFC nothing else.

Mines 8 gig apparently on XT network
Random fact my 8gig model GT-I8190T after I rooted the device with the Odin flashed recovery and installed superuser which allowed me to uninstall alot of the bloat ware and still retain it if needed via '' rom customiser '' app my phone doesn't lag out and freeze any more.
Also did I get ripped or what No external SD included I used a 16 gig from my old I9000

For all you GT-i8190T XT owners I have made a public folder in my drop box with all required files to root your phone reliably
http://db.tt/O7Gn5gHb
1 Unzip odin
2 Use three button combo to put your phone into download mode, (turn off completely , hold home, volume down, and power - for those that don't know) press up I think it is to confirm download mode.
3 with device connected to Odin flash the. MD5 file in the PDA section (do not tick repartition)
4 after reboot connect phone to pc and move the update superuser to your external SD can be done before to save time.
5 turn phone off again. And then go into recovery, home+volume up+ power hold until the first screen comes up.
6 flash the update super user from your external SD.... Important it's external SD..
7 reboot phone enjoy you rooted stock GT-i8190T
Just use rom customiser from the market to remove all your bloat ware

Hey, thanks for the files.
I used the root toolkit for the s3 mini. Chose option 22 (install for 8190N)
Installed just CWM, restarted the device to recovery and just installed CM10.1 from here:
http--->maclaw.pl/2013/09/19/release-cm10-1-s3-mini-10 (I need 10 posts post a link, so just copy/paste that)
Everything seems to run fine. The phone runs 10 times smoother than it did before. Stock android is the tits and the quick setting bar is nice.
overall, no regrets. Interface is 200% better than it was on touchwiz
Now that I run custom roms on my i8190T the Samsung splashscreen displays "I1890N". That's all well and good but my question is whether the "T" is essentially the same as the "N" model and whether I would be safe to flash the latest i1890N modem? Thanks for any help.

How do i root the SM-N9208 DUOS model

Hello this is ny first time buying a non carrier unlocked international phone and Im having trouble figuring out if and which method of root to use on this phone SM-N9208 DUOS
even im thinking of buying this model,but waiting for dev support,there are rumors that dev support for note 5 will be minimal ,i hope some one will dispel my fears n reply,coz i will definitely not buy this without proper dev support
I'm waiting for this as well. I am unable to restore my apps from my old Galaxy Note 4 because I cannot use Titanium Backup on my SM-N9208 until it's rooted.

I have ordered mine seconds ago (even root is not ready yet). Why dont't you use Smart Switch?
Root for N9208 is now available by flashing SpaceX kernel. I just did it myself and everything's working fine.

Clarity
Ok to be clear you MUST download from Galaxy Apps and use CROM services app (no it's NOT CDROM service which after playing and burning them for years I always subconsciously entered into the store search and thought the app was deleted since it wasn't returned in my search ... drove me crazy! ) to unlock and root the phone.
Prior to this you need to turn on developer mode and then in developer options turn OEM unlock ON.
Root is available directly from Chainfire below and loaded via Odin. There is no need to mess with custom kernels to root.

Yeah mate I tried some of the custom roms here that supposedly support the 9208 ... they don't.... well kinda but unstable, bad battery and simply a nightmare AND slow! ... do an Antutu benchmark on that Indian guys rom you are back in Note 3 land or something!
The root link and technique works and stock rom, great battery and good speed and super stable. More work to do Xposed etc yourself but stable in the end. :silly:

Gt-S5570 questions

I have had a galaxy mini for a while and its just been gathering dust since I got an s5 so I decided to see what it can do. First I'm trying to install cwm but no matter where I look people always seem to brick their phones trying to install it. Does anyone know one that actually works? Also on the cm official website there is cm 7 for the mini but it does not specify whether it is for the gt-s5570 or just the s5570 .The last thing is can you use "apply update from sdcard" in the stock recovery to flash a ROM? It seems like it does the same thing so I'm wondering whether I need cwm at all.

Installing CWM is not that much hard. Just take precaution and install correct files.
CM7 work on both GT-S5570 and S5570(they are same). Dont wory about that, just pick the ROM and install via CWM.
U cant apply update via sdcard in stock rom.
