Why the hell did you bought that device? You cant get sim functionality since that device doesn't have a working radio. You can still flash a N920C rom and use it as an iPod tho..

But don't give up. Keep looking. LOL

Samsung Note SM-N9208 Duos

Hello,
I bought N9208 today with the knowledge that it is compatible to my current carrier TMobile. I have several questions for those who have this phone.
#1. Am I able to install the operating system from TMobile? I am basically a noob when it comes to rooting etc etc. The phone comes unlocked.
#2. What is the primary difference between the N9208 and TMobile' N920T. I purchased this phone because it has 2 Sim slot and I like the Titanium color.
#3. What should I be doing first upon receiving the phone? How can I add flash software to this phone?
#4. Does unlock also mean the phone is rooted?
Any help or advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the patience.

-> im not sure, but most likely not at the moment.
#2. What is the primary difference between the N9208 and TMobile' N920T. I purchased this phone because it has 2 Sim slot and I like the Titanium color.
-> Tmobile phone will have Tmobile bloatwares
#3. What should I be doing first upon receiving the phone? How can I add flash software to this phone?
-> Worship its beauty. Flash software???, what year is it man... Flash passed away already.
#4. Does unlock also mean the phone is rooted?
-> no unlock means you can use it with any carrier you can think of. if you want to root, go here , this worked wonder for my 9208.
Any help or advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the patience.

I think you shouldn't do anything to your phone during a few days, to make sure that everything works fine. With an unlocked phone you'll be able to use any SIM card, and with a rooted phone you'll be able to see, modify and delete system files that otherwise can't be seen, so if a phone is unlocked it doesn't mean that it's also rooted.
To flash a new ROM you can use Odin.

Thank you, the tracking says my phone will arrive tomorrow. I will make sure it works fine with TMobile before doing anything else.
Oh... what do you mean by "To flash a new ROM you can use Odin?" Does this mean I can use TMobile's operating system and not from Taiwan's since this is from Taiwan? Sorry i am really a noob when it comes to this.

You can't use a firmware of the N920T on your N9208, as they are different models. You can only install a firmware that is specific for your device model.

So what should I do? lol I don't want Taiwan's apps. I would like to cater my phone as closely as TMobile's.
I have the N9208 and use it on TMOUS. It does not come with any Taiwan apps, just all Samsung official apps. The traditional Chinese keyboard and handwriting recognition are on by default. I have not tried turning them off since I do write in Chinese sometimes. You cannot install TMO FW as they are two different models. The main difference is that the TMO supports Samsung Pay while the N9208 does not yet since it is not supported in TW yet. It is not rooted by default.

So what should I do? Just leave it alone for now, and not root it? Can the keyboard be changed to simplified chinese?

It's up to you, just know that if you do root, it will trip Knox. That means you won't be able to use Samsung Pay if it gets released in the future and Android Pay unless there is some workaround. Yes, there is Simplified Chinese. You can also always download third party keyboards if you prefer.

Oh, what do you mean by "traditional chinese on by default?" I mostly type in English, so I hope English Language can be on default. I currently have Note 3, and if I swipe the space key, it switches to simplified chinese. Is Note 5 similiar to this that?
I guess I will leave it alone for a bit and see how it does. I read on the T Mobile forum at Tmobile website and it says N9208 does not have "LTE" and that wi fi calling isn't available? Is this true though?
Thanks
I just received my Note 5 N9208, and there isn't simplified chinese. Do I go to google play to download it? Also, the weather, how do I add multiple cities' weather? I am not liking the Samsung keyboard already. Can someone help? thanks

I just mean that when you first use the device the default keyboard and handwriting are set to both traditional Chinese and English. Yes you can deselect Traditional and change it to English. On the Note5 you just click on the globe key and it will change the language. It does support LTE. I posted a picture in a post somewhere, you can look at my history to find it. It does not have wifi calling from what I can tell.

I read elsewhere in the forum that the N9200 (China Note 5) does not come with the google play store and that rooting is often required to get it. I don't want to root. Does the N9208 come with the google play store? I assume yes since it's the Taiwan version, but would love to get some confirmation. Thanks! My plan is to use the phone on AT&T in the US states, and on China Mobile in China (N9208 should be fine for use in China as long as not using China Telecom, from what I've seen on frequencycheck).

Help what is the original firmware for this phone
That's an International model, you can flash whatever country firmware you want.
No I want to flash stock firmware back to it, and you could be right but I have not read that anywhere. Yeah I see the film where for every other variant but the G called Samsung they offered me no help because it wasn't international version. I do have a rooted now but I lost most of my functions with the S Note and Spen.

There are LOTS of different firmwares you can install because the SM-N920G was sold in many countries. Just use Odin to install whatever version you like the most, check out the attached screenshots. If you wanna feel like you did it right, select a firmware that could be compatible with your country, but there is no wrong or right firmware for a G model, because it is international.
Wow it's 4 am I did not expect to get a response so quickly and so thoroughly will put thank you very much.
Hey bro I got that right but I'm trying too hard and I am stuck on the team win screen so I can't get into the recovery how do I get out of that boot loop please and thank you
Hey thank you very much XDA members your advice is always the best even though being new sometimes I don't quite understand it but I was able to fix my first bricked phone it took 3 or 4 days figure it out but I got everything in the pass and now I'm going to try to reboot it again lots of love

This live demo unit could be easily equipped with Snapdragon. Better say him to check the hardware with CPU-Z before continue.
