I've searched for this, but can't find it anywhere.
I have this Galaxy Note, absolutely great device, but as my boss is a cheapskate I got a version from Poland, including the branding of some provider there. So besides getting this friggin annoying bootscreen, and the phone starting in Polish, I also have to install the Polish firmware updates.
This is the version I can update to: pda:lc1 / phone:lb2 / csc:lb1 (pls)
But I have been holding it of as I want to get the NL version. Only now ICS seems to have been released and while I'll probably go to a vanilla version, I would still like to know if it's possible to change from a Polish version to a Dutch version.
Please let me know if this is possible.
Thank you in advance for your reply.

i have the same model. LC1 is still one of the latest revisions of gingerbread.
ICS is not officially available for any version of the note yet aside from the chinese rip off models (if it did launch, im sure you'll see 20 odd threads about it). the ones available now are just leaks from samsung and custom ROMs.
you can flash to a multiCSC official rom and change the csc code if you want, otherwise, you can just flash ICS stunner, AOKP, AOSP, CM9, etc.
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).

Hi,
Just got a G925A. This was a compulsive decision based on my next question:
I know that that the international version (G925F) supports many other languages that do not appear in the AT&T version.
Any way to get those languages? in other words:
1) Is there a way to install a specific language on the device? This would easily solve my problem.
2) Is there a way (and is it safe) to flash the G925F version on this device, with or without gaining root?
Thanks!
I believe if you go through keyboard settings there's an option to download more language options

What I Mean is
I mean display languages, not typing languages...
I saw there are apps that can do that (more locale 2 etc), but they require root, and this is problematic (5.1.1).
Any ither advice?
Thanks
My bad, but yeah I'm out of suggestions without being able to edit build prop sorry man

When you update to Nougat 7.0 you can download any language you want. Go to Settings-General management-Language and input - Language- Add language and click on 3 dots on right top corner and choose all languages. Find what you looking for and download.

already sent requests no reaction, also 9208 as far as I know only for Taiwan region, but this phone version buying a lot of people over the world through online shopping, especially in CIS countries (Russia, Kazakhstan and etc.), so Samsung is very strange from this point of view and no support unfortunately, that is why i'm trying to find help here.

You can flash Vietnam firmware, Android 7 is available
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-s2-80/SM-T719Y/
At the welcome screen , just roll up and down to select English as your choice of language.
If you don't know how to use Odin, then don't try.
Vietnam firmware? I Will wait for the official one.

This is official firmware from Samsung which must have English language. All samsung tablets are the same, don't ever think your US or Europe tablet is superior than the one sold in Asia. Actually, most Samsung tablets are made in Vietnam.
Only the firmware and software are customized to fit certain region. That's why they always have the file CSC ( Customer Software Customization ) to flash a firmware.
I can flash 4 different official firmwares: United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Korean, and Germany, my tablet's status always be OFFICIAL. This is not rooting, you're flashing different official firmware. If you don't get it, then don't try and waiting for the OTA update.
In the Tab A forums, many users flash Korean or Germany to get Android 7 as you can flash back the original firmware when it's available in Nougat.
Even after updated, don't like the Nougat, you can flash back MM without problem as I did. because some apps are not ready for new OS.
Anyway I need the Italian firmware, not the English..
