Parent teacher Association? I don't see how custom Rom can be blocked by local regulation body as they don't see it.they only see imeib and phone model. Just make sure the correct csc is used and modem.

Lol...Pakistan telecommunications authority... You're right though, sounds like they are trying to avoid stolen devices and therefore need to register imei. Don't see any issue with custom roms.

On a PTA approved phone, do I just flash the ROM normally like ppl tell us to do? Since it isn't VIP patched and the IMEI is registered, it should work without causing sim not registered issue?

To everyone having this question,
PTA wouldn't be able to detect a custom ROM in your devices. Also they wouldn't have any problem with that.
I have always been using different ROMs in different devices from Samsung/QMobile/Huawei/LG/Xiaomi for 6 years.
Just make sure to backup your NVRAM in twrp and copy it to a safe location if the device is patched otherwise you may lose your IMEI.

I'm sick of this
Samsung recently released the new XXLRQ (ICS 4.0.4) Update for the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 that combines features from Galaxy S III and the Note II, I'm pretty sure you all know about this.
So I flashed the update using ODIN and it worked perfectly, the ROM is great and all but the problem is the Network Lock Key !
I can't use my phone as AN ACTUAL PHONE! No calls, no texts, no mobile network, nothing!
Any help ??
Thank you

Please help - How to change firmware on N 7000 Samsung ?

Dear All
Samsung Note GT-N7000
Android 4.1.2
My brother purchase by mistake a new Samsung Note GT-N7000 that is meant for use in Korea.
But here in Singapore, the set seem not compatible.
While I can make and receive calls and receive SMS, , sending SMS is limited to 80 characters
vs the standard 160 characters. Besides, there are a lot of Korean characters / messages
on the KB and other pop up menus, which I cannot comprehend..
I contacted Samsung service center and they tell me they cannot do much about
this , as this is a set meant for use in Korea.
Now I think, maybe I should take the risk and reinstall the firmware and SW.
( Perhaps Cyanogen or something similar ? ).
I am not skilled in this.
May I request anyone here to point to me some tutorial to guide me through step by step
in installing a new firmware / software and make it fully English compatible and for use in Singapore ?
I don't mind losing the warranty, ( if there is any ).
I just hope I don't brick the fone. It is only 3 days old.
Thank you so much.
John

Yes, It is GT-N7000
Only one question: Will it completely solve my problem as mentioned in my post..
or are there any uncertainties.
Thank you very much for your help.
You should take extra caution to varify it is n7000 or it is shv160 for korea. Use wrong rom will brick phone. Do some more search to varify first.

I went to "About phone " and checked.
Model number shown is: SHV-E160L
Baseband version E160LKLJMK1
KERNEL: 3.0.31-1034927
BUILD NO: JZO54K.E160LKLJMK4
My mistake - Earlier I looked only at the packing box: Which shows GT - N7000
Thanks for highlighting this to me.
So, should I look for SHV-E160L Rom ?
Yes.

I took a look at that page.
It is filled with dire warnings and tech terms which is Greek to me.
My original problem was that I could not make calls or send out texts.
When I want to make a call - either manually enter the number or selecting from contacts
a +82 prefix was added and the number is shown as invalid. Or Invalid recipient.
For texts, I could not enter any number or even select from contacts.
Now, thanks to a friend, I installed a dialer from Google play and the
phone seems to work normal. Still a few minor glitches are there which I think
can be fine tuned later on. A lot of time wasted tinkering with these devices. !
What surprises me is this. Here is a nice well designed fone with great
functionality. But in some areas, the designers seem to have slept on small details.
Just look at the flimsy back cover for example.
In this respect, the Apple I phone is tops.
The attention to detail is perfect.
My question: When there are now nearly a billion owners of smart fones.
How did this mature industry end up in a situation where endless bugs and glitches
seem to be in every fone model they put out into the market and cause headaches
to the customers ? - This is an avoidable tiresome experience to the users.
Another thing.
I found out there is a hidden code for this fone. 319 712 358.
The PW is: 0821
And there you set the mode to GSM only.
I also tried Cyanogenmod installer.
But it says that this model is not supported.
Thanks again.

Plz check it again. That topic for Note5 Duos N9208, not for singgle sim Korea variant.
N920K and N920S ROMs can share each other's ROM?
You know what is problem? I can provide a ROM but not possible to update frequently. Once there is no regular update then some user push badly and never understand developer and keep spoiling thread..

We just need major updade, not frequently and quick update like international.
If you are only option to have custom Rom, I'm pretty sure they will not complaint, just praise you and your hard work.
N920K, N920S and N920L can share same rom, just different modem, bootloader which dev will not touch on any Note 5 variant
Devs shouldn't have to bother with different modem, bootloader, we the user can easily find that ourselves plus a dev has enough on their plate when creating a custom ROM.
There are a couple of Note5 ROMs available for which you're searching here on XDA.
The problem is some people don't bother reading and/or researching for their smartphone.
Good luck my friend.
Ok then I will look it soon. BTW which base you want to use K/S or L?
I will provide only one kernel on which ROM is based on. Users either use that one OR select custom kernel.
Now one of you may ask mod to close this thread and keeping dev section clean.

Let me download it first. If I could find audio fix then it will be better as you may get updated with international ROM
I will check and send you fix if possible. Meanwhile do flash my ROM L4 and make nandroid so anytime you can test fix.

Change band settings and MNP settings. For some phones these settings are applied automatically but for lenovo a7000-a we need to manually apply these settings. Use band-40 as network base for both sims and MNP - TCP must be valued according to the network provider which you are using. [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106] all the best bro

The problem is not about doing, the problem is who is gonna do it... Some are trying but still without a luck. And same hardware, not necessarily means easy to port.
