Got my Gear VR yesterday from T-mobile, went to set it up on my Note 5 N9200, when the setup wizard opens, I hit next, the wizard tries to connect to the servers then returns the following error:
Error Occurred.
Network Error.
I spent all day on the line with Samsung support, they kept dropping my call, and finally told me to go to a Samsung experience center at Best Buy. Does anyone know how to correct this?
I have the same problem. Only thought is that my Note 5 is from Hong Kong so may be on a different firmware than US phones - hence the network error issue. Please let us know if you find a solution!

Mine is also from HK, assuming you also have an N9200? I really hope Samsung did not region-lock an accessory, that would be really horrible for early adopters...

Yeah, the N9200. I opened up a support ticket to Oculus on this matter too. I don't think it's necessarily region locking, I think it's just they haven't pushed out the firmware for the HK phones to enable us to download oculus home.
Trying to figure out if there is any way to sideload the oculus home application but there's not much info out there since the new gear VR just came out a few days ago. Ugh, I was so excited to use it and then this...
Update
So, I thought I would give everyone a quick update, as I noticed there are people on a number of forums experiencing this issue. I spoke with Oculus, Samsung Hong Kong, and Samsung US (listed in order of helpfulness).
I learned that in spite of having Gear VR services, set up wizard, and other related software preloaded, the SM-N9200 still needs an update to set up Gear VR. Samsung Hong Kong claimed they did not know of any plans to release Gear VR in Hong Kong, which means anybody who bought an SM-N9200 likely just wasted 99.99 USD. Samsung's US support team knew nothing and was incredibly unhelpful, I'll leave it at that.
I'm very disappointed Samsung is maintaining a 1990's US carrier mindset, assuming we do not live in a connected world, and people would not purchase phones from other regions where they frequently travel. The HK version of the SM-N9200 is the only way for one to own a Note 5 and still have access to TD-LTE networks when they travel to China, as well as Google Services when outside of China, all without rooting.
I really hope Samsung stops punishing US-based SM-N9200 users for their loyalty, and pushes the update out to us ASAP.

Well, that's a huge bummer. Time to return this $99 paperweight.
Wow, what a disappointment. Forgive my ignorance but there is no way to extract what we need from someone that has a U.S. note 5 and side load it?
I have the SM-N9200 , and I've managed to get the Oculus store installed but trying to launch anything brings me right back to the set up wizard.

I've been looking to see if it's possible to install a custom rom that supports gear vr, but no custom roms for the 9200. At this point, I'm almost leaning towards selling my 9200 and buying an unlocked 920L or 920C...

That's fine if you don't need TD-LTE, still not optimal though. I reckon sometime after thanksgiving the files will make there way to the internet and we can stick it to Samsung.

Actually, 9200 is the same model they sell in mainland china so I can't imagine them leaving that entire massive market. Let's hope a solution comes up soon.
I have a n920w8 and there's not even Gear VR in my list of apps in "application manager". Need some help.

What you can try doing is download the oculus mobile SDK from here:
https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/
Then copy the oculus cinema apk over to your phone and install it. When you run that app, it should trigger the oculus installation wizard. That's where I get stuck though, it just goes into a "Network Error" loop for me when I try to progress but maybe you'll have more luck with your model.
Noted, I'll give this a try. If that network error loop is the same one you were getting before, then I wonder if Samsung's servers are actually detecting and blocking devices based on model number? Samsung is really worse than Apple about this stuff...

Most likely they are trying to download some low-level software based on the model number and there is nothing listed for our model - hence the "network error" message. Hopefully someone can share the required apk that we need for the fundamental software.
Anyone had any luck getting this working?

Nope, sadly I've been too busy to tinker around with this. Pretty much just waiting for an update or hoping somebody magically posts the correct software online...
Does anyone try to root their phone and change the build.prop file? e.g. Change the model number to G928F(Europe model )
I saw someone did these on their Note 4 and S6 which made the setup wizard run.
I haven't try it because there is no matured third party's ROMs so far.

I'm worried that this would have some seriously bad implications because the 9200 has a different modem chipset than the european/us models. That would probably work if the hardware was very similar and just had minor regional differences.

Sorry, I didn't make that clear. You don't/can't flash in a firmware from another model in another region. What you do in the build.prop file is to simply change a name. Only thing you need is to get root on your current ROM.
Hi!
I want to ask. And forgive my question. Some possibility of root Note 9 N960U & N960U1?

It is not available, and there is a high probability that it never will be available.
For example there is still no root for S9/S9+ in U version.

Thanks for answer. If the USA version It is so complicated to root, then I will buy exynos version. Personally I like the devices that I can have control and rooted.
We are bothered by the questions because it seems like every person creating a new thread asking about it seems like they will get a different answer if they create their own thread about it.

As far as I now, S9 and S9+ snapdragon versions are still not rooted.
There is at least 1 guy searching for root but so far, no progress.
So, maybe s845 Note 9 will get root someday but don't have high hopes about that and if root really matter to you, I will advise you to buy another phone.
I strongly advise buying the exynos version now, or buying another device if updates and such will be a big deal. I had the same concerns, this is my first unrooted Android device I am considering purchasing, and I have to make the decision based on what is most probable, root not being an option. Otherwise, you'll be pissed the entire time you have the device that you let yourself fall into the hope trap.

I will wait few months, as it happened with note 8, that a root for the snapdragon came out, if the root does not come out with note 9 snapdragon, I follow your advice and buy the version with Exynos. Thanks! ?
I do not know, but with so much developer here in XDA and other forums; there must be some way to unlock the bootloader. Or is have to pay for it, or beg of carrier companies??

I asked the OP of that thread a month ago and he confirmed that that root method can not be done on the S9, S9+ or NOTE9, which means that the device will most likely never be rooted, unless Samsung suddenly, randomly, allows for the bootloader to be unlocked.
I upgraded to the Snapdragon Note9 anyway though myself. I found that I didn't really miss root all that much on my Note8 and didn't want my battery on my new phone to only charge to 80% by using SamFAIL, so I just got the non-carrier branded one this time to cut down on some of the bloat. I could've went Exynos, but in the past I'd mainly only used root to put other roms on the device and maybe clear out some space, but the Note9 comes with 128gb internal minimum with the potential of an up to 512gb sd card, which is plenty of space for me to just disable a few apps. Most of the roms too most often didn't have the air command features for the spen(or most of the other functionality that Samsung devices are supposed to have) and the pen is why I buy the Notes in the first place. The ones that did try and incorporate those features(including the Touchwiz roms) always still had other problems too, so I most often found myself going back to stock anyway.
Frankly, it's just been nice having a device where Samsung Pay and everything else just works. I've had the unrootable Snapdragon Note9 for a month now and I love it. It has tons of features that the Note8 didn't have, like an spen that works as a wireless bluetooth remote for your camera, music and other apps, as well as more space, a better battery and more. That's just my take though.

Carrier companies do not have control over bootloader locks. I have tried going through them in the past about this and they have no clue what you are talking about unless you get lucky and get a person that knows about root and even if that does happen they can't and won't help you with it. It has to be done by manufacturers.

Have you considered the N9600, international version? It has the SD845 processor (like the U and U1) and root/TWRP are already available. Knox gets tripped, of course, but that only negates Samsung Pay and a couple others.
Just having a little trouble locating units for sale (at good prices) here on mainland US.
Forgetting N960U and N960U1! I bought N960N!! And my problem resolved! Finally I got root!! ?

Just to figure out my info on versions is correct... I thought N9600 (with Snapdragon) is the Hong Kong version (i.e. not "international" or "global"), and N960F (with Exynos) is for "global"/europe (although it seems to have different band lists for UK). (I'm not considering rootability etc., just the target market / naming.)

Personally, I have no idea. I read it on this page: https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-sm-n960-model-number-differences/
I found another list (much shorter one) that does not have separate entry for UK. Maybe the longer list simply lists bands that are active in the region (e.g. if there are bands in use in UK that aren't used elsewhere in europe even if the phone would support them).
Not relevant to this topic (rooting U/U1), though, I just noted it for the peculiarity of seeing that difference for the same model code.

Hey guys. So I've been a samsung user for years now and I stopped checking XDA or rooting for a long time now. So please bear with me.
I am interested in getting this phone from AliExpress (the only way for me in the middle east).
It's obviously the chinese tencent version. The seller mentions that it is flashed with a multilanguage ROM but with no OTA updates.
He says that we can ask for pre chinese phone in a completely sealed box (running unmodified software, chinese original rom).
I personally use my phone in English only and don't care about the multilanguage thing. In fact, I've previously perfectly used a Xiaomi device running the chinese rom.
So here goes my questions:
1- Any downsides of getting the chinese version and keeping it that way to keep getting OTAs?
2- Will I be able to flash google services and apps?
3- Is it rootable and unrootable on chinese rom?
If so, will we still be able to receive OTAs when rooted?
4- Is there's any way to have call recording without root? (I mean built-in support like xiaomi phones for example)?
5- Is the RAM management really as bad as I've heard? (check this review at 6:10). I mean I want to have full use of the full use of those 8GB ram.
6- Is there any way to flash a global rom and keep getting OTAs?
Thank guys.
Buy the North American version from the Asus website and save yourself a ton of trouble. Just be aware this phone will not do VoLTE or VoWiFi with any of the USA carriers.

It was actually $970 with tax directly from Asus but that gets you a valid warranty and the North American LTE bands so the phone will work properly here. You may want to read through the other threads here. All of your other questions have been asked and responded to. Good luck

Greetings everyone ,
So apparently from the title Xiaomi Devices has stopped working in Syria starting this week ,
the devices suddenly got "locked" with a message declaring "this device is locked , Xiaomi policy doesn't allow this product in your country"
with only an option to connect to Wi-fi network ,
the devices that were reported were both India and International versions
any official announcement from Xiaomi regarding their new policy ?
also any chance to make these devices work again ? this issue will affect hundred thousands of people I will appreciate if someone can provide a solution
Thanks !
Xiaomi themselves haven't mentioned anything regarding this, but quoting an official retailer:
Xiaomi's new policy protects its products, as every product must be activated in the country it was intended to be sold in.
The solution, according to them, is return the phone to the retailer you bought it from, which they will reset, and then you need to use the phone with a SIM from that same country for at least 3 weeks
Given that I'm from Syria and considering the phone situation there, if you're importing a xiaomi phone, unlock the bootloader as soon as possible, preferably while in the country you bought it from, then solving this would be much easier.

Hi! Any chance you can share the link where you quoted that response from that official retailer? I am from Cuba, where Ximi phones already stopped working. Mine is protected tho, using a custom ROM, however, I would like to clarify myself a bit anyway. TIA
I bought a Xiaomi redmi note 10s, global versión, factory unlocked, in Amazon, United States. My intention is to use it in Cuba. Could I configure it in Unite States and then use it in Cuba with no problems? This is what I’ve been thinking, since I don’t want to modify the boot loader, just use the phone as a standard user.
Can Xiaomi detect my phone If I use a SIM card from Cuba?

The phones that are stopping are only the ones getting newly activated on those countries,
Activate the phone in the US using a US sim card for a couple of weeks then you should be good

Just bought one in iran with a pretty good discount, i wonder if i should enable the bootloader or not? Should i flash it with a custom rom or not? So far no phones here have been blocked but given the fact that we are already in the sanctioned countries club i dont think it would be long before that same hapens to us too

As far as I know there are no authorized sellers by Xiaomi in any of those countries, so if they want to block their phones they have to do it either on everyone or none at all. I think it might have happened on some few Chinese or European versions devices smuggled into those countries Or else we would have millions of users complaining it not just some rumors with one or two pics
Hi I just bought a 512 10 pro dual sim unit, I am 100% new oneplus owner.
I am wainting on the parcel, the unit suposed to be a CN unit with global rom on in. I do not know if it will get OTA updates or not.
If not I understand I may need to manual update them, but going to oneplus support site for firmwares and stuff there is nothing for the 10 pro.
Can anyone give me some advice on this please.
Also I understand that the T Mobile is IP67 but I undestand that the "others" are same but because the payment for the certification is not stated but the units are the same. I will never go blind to "check" if that is true but any support on that will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Check out my root thread if you want to root your device... also has info on unlocking the bootloader.
I would recommend using oxygen updater, it's an app from the play store that provides up to date firmwares, I'd say to turn on full updates always. Never install partial updates (incremental) if full firmwares are available.
Also what is your variant? I saw 512 but that's not a model number. It'll be 2213 or 2210 or something

There's no question that he has 2210 with either 2213 or 2215 rom. I didn't provide any advice and I'm not going to since he has a botched phone/rom combo.

Then why are you commenting on this thread? (Rhetorical) I wouldn't take your word for it only theirs.. If you're not going to help them then please refrain from posting in this thread, you're not helping buddy.
I have this exact same model, bough in French shop and using it in Europe. It was I think a grey import, model sticker is 2210 and it came with Chinese only doc, but ROM (found in about) is 2215. Came with oxygen os 12 (first boot was tricky because battery was empty, charge was slow and it finally booted in the bootloader, so I was a little worried... But after a full data wipe I rebooted in oxygenos12, got normal setup with all European languages and charge at 80w. Got a normal Ota to oxygenos13 since (all the way to c26, I think it went throug two or 3 intermediate versions), no problem in the end, I didn't even had to install oxygenupdater. Phone is not rooted and look like stock, as far as I can tell. Only issue I see is that it's wifi is a little bit temperamental, I need to stop/start it when I see connection troubles... Not sure it's the phone or my router, cause it happen only at home, not in the office...maybe it's because I have both 2.4 and 5ghz on the sale ssid at home...
AFAIK this is a special version (nickname fat panda/fat dabai) which is why it's Chinese only, but being the only 512GB version I guess there is a quite a lot of imports. So grey market, but there are good chance the internationalisation is done quite well.
I am happy with my 2210->2215 ROM, at least for now, but I did not attempt any rooting or ROM customisation yet. Not sure I will, as custom scene is very quiet to say the least, regardless if your phone is Grey market or completely stock with unambiguous region lock...
Not really blaming oneplus, it's now the norm for Android with very few exceptions (pixels, nothing... And old models).
Just sad oneplus used to be one of these few exceptions...
sorry for the delay the model is NE2215

2215 is NA/Global rom iirc, not North America only. I think most Grey import 512GB models will have this rom. Mine have at least, they did not install 2213 even if it was imported in France...
So far is working fine, since this is my first oneplus I do not have any other to compare.
The only "issue" is that when connecting to car unit for android auto use, the usb option list apear 2 tines so quick that I can not select the android auto option and it is only in charge mode, this was the thing that made me go for the 10 instead the 11, but now I am looking for a possible solution
