Hello everyone.
I just received a phone from a relative in china. It is a Note 2 GT-N7100 version. I am new to modding phones with roms and know nothing about rooting and such. I only want to install this phone back to my local canadian roms (Rogers or telus). Also, this china phone doesnt have any google apps, not even play store. So I want to install the phone back to north american version and get rid of all those chinese apps that comes pre-installed. thanks
Flashing most roms in this forum will solve problems.

I can't find it on my phone and I can't go ahead with the purchase on the website. Sucks, clearly Rockstar don't want my money.

thats what I am trying to say
Same here, it says the game is incompatible and can't purchase. I contacted the game company and they said S3 is not compatible (even though it is for number of people!!!) due to resolution... I don't get it
Those of you who were able to purchase the game, are you on stock or custom Rom?

There is nothing to do with custom rom.I dont know only for aosp rom, but with custom Samsung rom the game keep says that is incompatible.
Maybe the users who runnning max payne using a moddified id in build.prop (i havent test it yet)?
the same happened with MC3, GTA 3 etc.
The solution I found with MC3 (when it was not yet free on Sam Apps and not yet "compatible" with S3) is to buy it direct on Gameloft website and they will send you a sms with a link to a direct APK download.
Whereas the above worked with Gameloft, it did not work with Rockstar games for GTA 3. I contacted the support and they just said: yeah its not working with your phone (they redirected me to a page with a list of compatible devices and S3 was not on there). Found the APK then in other sources (will not disclose here due to forum rules), whereas I would be more than willing to pay.
Not compatible with my s3

I think they are yet to update the play store details, I have played GTA 3 on my Samsung GS3 International and it works flawlessly without the slightest drag even though it shows incompatible with my SGS3 in the Google Play Store. I am now downloading MP3 for my mobile. Anyone want me to share the file?
^ Nah, I'll just not buy it since they CBA to sort it for my phone. I wasn't going to apy full price anyway.

Well, as someone has already said, you can only download it when you are on an AOSP ROM (or, at least, it has worked for me on CM9). I don't know why Samsung ROMs make the phone incompatible with the game.

Or you can get from an other phone that it work on.
Just copy the apk to the S3 and you can run it, but not update it.
I also was little mad when it did not work after I did buy me an S3, but I have my old phone left so I just used that APK:laugh:
My aunt has recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy Note for AT&T from an independently owned store. They rooted the phone and unlocked it for 4G. Along with my guidance they were able to enable the 4G data on it. My question is, can I update the phone to Android 4.0 or whatever it needs to be updated to? The phone says that it wants to update but it can't connect to the AT&T servers since it is on T-Mobile. Can I do this in another way?
If you rooted it you shouldn't take any update without unrooting. And if you're rooted you should install a custom ROM anyways. plenty of ICS roms for the note

yeah i think so.
I know the Taiwan model is slightly bigger, but is there anything else that's different?
Any issues with either model?
Sent from my C6906 using xda app-developers app
I don't think the Taiwan model is bigger. The Chinese model is and it has plastic around the sides instead of aluminum. I've got the Taiwan model and have no issues. Haven't seen a UK model yet.

Is yours not the L50T model? Do you have the 3 mic holes and lanyard slot at the bottom of your phone? I've been reading a few threads in the accessories section (screen protectors) and some are saying that their screen protectors aren't fitting their Taiwan Z2 due to it being too long (some said that they needed the longer version from China models).
The L50T, made for China Mobile is slightly bigger.

China has 2 different models, one for China Mobile(use TD LTE), one for China Unicom, the Unicom model is called L50u, it is exactly same as the international modelL50w.
When you order, be more specific, tell the seller you want the one for the China Unicom, they will know.
The L50T dimension is 149x73.3x8.2, L50u and L50w are 146.8x73.3x8.2, longer by2.2mm.
Hi, to avoid a new thread I'd like to ask a few questions:
For europe (italy) use which china version is better? L50u, l50t or l50w?
Does it come with official rom and gapps or I need to unlock it? Had htc one m7 802t and got to many troubles to get gapps.
If it comes with a custom rom, how do I update it?
Do the 3 missing holes worse the phone somehow?
Thanks!

all Z2 versions are about the same, small minor differences with design and board,
the differences arent going to make majour issues
try getting one for your region to avoid sim issues
gapps it comes with by default
updating the stock rom can be updated through OTA or sony PC companion
custom rom updating... it has to be an app or something within the rom its self or you can do it the usual way which is flashing a new version of the rom
also by the way the you cant do much at all without a custom kernel containing recovery, and you cant have that without unlocking the bootloader

Sim lock shouldn't be a problem, might ask the seller first tho!
I was more worried about being stuck with a chinese rom (like the m7 802t) and forced to flash a custom rom.

i think you may be, im not too sure, the good part about most xperia roms are that they have multiple languages and if you get a generic asian device then it wont be sim locked
not sure about mobile net bands
try googleing or perhaps someone with a asian model can help
Check the China 4G Band work in your country too.

depends on the batch you gets, check in General threads you will see a post [ defect/ issues with batch ] so far the 14w20 is apparently good :3
you have to check personally for the gaps please refer the thread i just suggest, your bootloader should be unlock for rooting else you can't and if will brick your device
gapps = google apps. Chinese rom is unlikely to have google apps installed.
I hope this question is not a stupid one...
I want to say that I tried searching and all guides come either outdated with broken links or just designed for a different model.
I have a Galaxy Note SGH-i717R which is a canadian version. I cannot find a current working rooting method that will guide me through installing a CWM or TWRP recovery plus let me flash CM or any other KitKat based ROM.
I have downloaded:
CWM-TOUCH-i717-6043.zip but I know I can't install it until I root. But all rooting guides are outdated and do not work.
I have a good idea on how to root and install custom roms, I've done it on various phones including on my Nexus 5 and 7.
Can anyone give me a link or a quick breakdown of what I need?
I can't stress enough that this is a SGH-i717R not SGH-i717, i have a Canadian Version.
Thanks in advance!

With all the different variants of this device, no two are as similar. There have been many to flash the US version to Canadian model. I see no harm, but it is your device. Have you read the Super Everything thread?

I think i've read that thread too and i think most of it did not apply to the R version of thsi phone. Also someone was mentioning that the phone since it is a canadian variant..will reload the stock ROM back on under reboot. Is this true?

Its running 4.1.2
And its not i717 but i717R.... something about the Canadian R variant make its almost impossible to flash with AT&T versions of the ROMs. OR I am not reading the threads correctly.

It's been so long since ICS, I'm not sure if you have to flash JB before going to KK or not. Look for any thread with JamieD81 on it. He's from Canada so his should work.

Its not really a big deal weather i get CM on this phone or not, but since I have it as a spare phone next to my Nexus 5, I really want something more modern running on it.

Ok. I'm in Turkey and I'm not sure but I might install German ROM to my Gear S. There might be Deezer in it. But question is will it void warranty? I asked Samsung TR and they said it does. But they also said if you install stock ROM to phones it will void again.
Is there any way to understand that if Gear S is installed with ROM ?(I mean official rom but other countries.) I don't know much about this ROM business but I remember when you use official ROM it doesn't increase some sort of conting mechanism right? Would it be same for Gear S too?
And if there is anybody from EU please answer: Do you have Deezer?
I need to know if anybody from EU can access to Deezer.
