S2 T810 9.7' Wifi Stock rom

Hi friends
I have been on stock rom for a while and contacted Samsung they have updates for LTE ver to NOugat but no for Wifi ver they don't care and no more updates. Thats why I hate samsung after service and same issue for my TV as well. Regret buying it.
Anyway since I am now on stock rom Android 6.0 I would like to flash it my self.
Do I need to unlock the bootloader or come with unlocked?
Which rom do you recommend is stable and receive OTA regularly?
Million thanks

SM-T810 is wifi model, bootloader is not locked as LTE version
You can download and flash by yourselft. ( Cellular South is US )

Hi thank you for reply
Will Cellular south make any difference in any where or lack of anything, if my tab is from Hong Kong?

Region is not important as all Samsung S2 tablets are the same hardware, only firmware and software are customized for certain region.
Right now, there are many firmwares for Android 7 in different countries.
Go to sammobile then select the region closed to your country like Singapore where many people speaks Chinese.
Today, I flashed a Hong Kong firmware to my SM-P580 ( US version ) to bypass FRP. I don't know Chinese but there is no problem to switch to English
at the first screen of settings.
After that, I flashed Germany firmware, Android 7, to a now Hong Kong tablet to get Nougat.
I don't have any problem to flash firmware from different region to my US tablet because I have a choice to select English as my language.
I went from US to Hong Kong, then Germany tablet without any problem.

UK Oreo 8.0 Update?

Hi i just wondering when we will receive oreo update in UK?

What carrier you on?

EE , UK

Vodafone UK.....
Sent from my Note 8 (2017 Phone) using XDA Labs

I'm on EE but my device was originally an O2 one.
I had to manually install the France ROM via ODIN and I'm having no issues.
I find it a little bit odd that the Middle East was updated after France, and not the rest of mainland Europe, but ah well. The France ROM will suffice for me until a UK ROM is released.
Question: would there be much of a difference between the two?
France and UK I mean?

I flashed it and still have the we WiFi calling available

lost patience a bit and flashed it myself this morning, just waiting for the backup/restore to complete, mine is unbranded OXM XEU uk/ireland and all went smooth, I did a factory reset first and used CSC instead of Home CSC so complete setup from scratch

I think AP is same, but different BL and CP, should be better if flash with original country BL and CP.

Thats not VoLTE, thats wifi calling. Without an official ROM you cannot have support for the VoLTE protocol.

I bought my note 8 sim free and got the oreo update yesterday. I'm on Vodafone but I doubt it matters when it's sim free.

Can you confirm what version handset your on
BTU or XEU I have BTU handset and still sat waiting for Oreo

Looks like XEU

BTU released this morning

Would be a problem if I flash another android firmway?

There is my situation:
I have a Samsung Note9 phone with model number: SM-N9600. I heard that there is possible to update my android to 10 version. But i didn't received any update yet. My phone has this version of android 9:
"N9600ZHS4CTA2/N9600OWT4CSK1/N9600ZCS4CSKA
Security patch level: January 1, 2020"
It would be a problem if i try to flash another firmway version for SM-9600 which has the android 10 update?

That explains why you're not getting the update. Use samsung phone info in playstore to check csc.

Thanks for explanations! So in conclusion I don't need to be afraid of flashing another firmway, while is for SM-N9600 model?

Of course as long as it's same model. If you're in doubt, just flash firmware of same csc(like mine is XME as shown in phone info app)
Use samfirm/frija to download the firmware.

I can't keep the same CSC because on it I don't have android 10.

KDDI Variant?

The OTA Images download page lists two images.
One normal one, and one "KDDI only".
What exactly is KDDI? My take from Googling it is that it's some Provider.
The device I got came with said "KDDI only" Image on it (Build Number ends with ...021.A1), and VoLTE and VoWiFi aren't working, and I somehow suspect it might be the wrong image.
Makes me wonder if I can just sideload the non-KDDI OTA image to fix it? Anyone happens to have any insight there?
Edit: Just sideloading the non-KDDI OTA image does not work. Downgrade-Prevention kicks in.

Same here in the UK. My phone is running (RD1A.200810.021.A1, Oct 2020, KDDI only) but surely since i brought direct from Google, it should be (RD1A.200810.020, Oct 2020)?
I've posted on the Google product forums, to see if anyone can shed any light on the matter.

KDDI network subscribers in Japan

Hey there from Germany. I pre-ordered mine direct from Google and it was delivered from UK to Germany.
Mine also has the KDDI firmware preinstalled

Same here in france, tried to install magisk with the kddi boot img and it didnt worked

I also have the 021.A1 ROM on my Pixel in Germany, I rooted with the boot image from the international 020 build however - that worked fine, and I also pass SafetyNet on basic attestation with the HideProps module. @SOSODU13016 what issues did you have exactly? Did the root not get applied when booting up? Or did your device simply not boot?

The root did not applied ?, but booting was fine

Try to patch the boot image yourself in Magisk Manager, and flash it another time. It also took two tries for me for some reason until Magisk finally was installed. I've also read from others that they had to reboot multiple times.

I'm confused, how do i know if i choose the wrong boot.img ? will i enter in a bootloop ? i'll try to patch myself with the kddi version since i'm on the 021.A1
EDIT : Ok i used my own boot.img patched with magisk based on the 021.A1 boot.img from google and it worked. Thanks everyone !

My Pixel 5 sold by Amazon UK. Came with RD1A.200810.021.A1
The box says Imported into UK & EU by Google Ireland. So doesn't look like a Japanese version.

Same here but bought from Carphone Warehouse.

I'm in France, bought it from the google store, I've a kddi image too. So I don't think it's related to an oper

I've been using the Pixel 5 since Monday, but this morning I should restart my phone for a system update.
It was on version RD1A.200810.020, Oct 2020
and now RD1A.200810.021.A1, Oct 2020, KDDI only
I live in Germany and the phone also comes from Ireland.
The update process seems to be bugged.

Hi,
I've actually sent an email to the Google support regarding this topic, enquiring if it is normal for a phone purchased on the French Google Store to have a Japanese carrier variant pre-installed.
For now the request has gone through 3 different departments at Google as none of them feel sufficiently qualified to answer the question.
I'll let you know if I get any real feedback.

Hi,
same here. Bought on the german Google Store and got my Pixel 5 from Ireland shipping with RD1A.200810.021.A1
Would be interesting to see if it is possible to flash the "global" november factory image without getting a downgrade warning.
Also it would be interesting to know what the actual differences are between the global and the kddi versions.

Interesting. Did you notice any differences between both versions?
I'm still waiting for feedback from Google that I will likely never get. I do hesitate though to "go global" as :
1) most (if not all) European pixel 5 have been delivered with KDDI version here in Europe. Must be a reason to this.
2) I have no idea about the changes between both
3) I actually have no issues with KDDI version. I even get WiFi calling here in France from French network operator.
Will keep my eyes open.

I didn't notice any difference. But I am sure that the global versions will be updated before the carrier specific versions.

lol, that's kinda strange.
You guys bought the Pixel 5 from EU Google store and got Japanese carrier-based firmware while I bought the Pixel 5 from Google Store Japan and got normal variant firmware.

Google changed the description with the November-Update today and it seems that they've mixed it up previously.
So the current regional versions are:
RD1A.200810.020, Oct 2020, AU & JP carriers
RD1A.200810.020.A1, Oct 2020, KDDI only
RD1A.200810.021.A1, Oct 2020, EU carriers
RD1A.200810.021.B3, Oct 2020, Verizon
RD1A.200810.022.A4, Oct 2020 (global?)
RD1A.201105.003, Nov 2020, JP carriers
RD1A.201105.003.A1, Nov 2020, AU carriers
RD1A.201105.003.B1, Nov 2020, EU carriers
RD1A.201105.003.C1, Nov 2020 (global?)
Anyway. As said, I bought my Pixel 5 from the german google store and not from a german carriers store. So I expect to be on "RD1A.201105.003.C1" instead my phone updated to "RD1A.201105.003.B1".
Still confusing but at least the "KDDI only" - discussion is solved. I guess. ?

Question Flashing Global firmware on CN device will unlock CA for Europe users?

As the title says.. Anyone who got already the device have unlocked BL and flashed the Global Rom?
In this way we could check if the channel aggregation combination will be unlocked for the non-CN countries and we can get 4G+ (in Italy for example we can got only if 3 or more channels are aggregate)
Use the app NetMonster for testing purpose

It does work already for some. EE UK seems ok for CA, Vodafone UK not.
I'll be interested in the answer to this too, and if the xiaomi.eu rom will include it, if indeed we find the global/eea roms work and CN one doesn't.
