Hi,
I have a Note Pro 12.2 bought around april through eGlobal, which delivered from Hong Kong. I live in Holland by the way.
The langauge was asian or English. In order to make it Dutch I rooted the device in the first week, instead of starting using it and then after let's say six months start all over again after rooting then. But all I have tried in the last months, the best I get is a boot loop. So it gets to 99% but the last procent will not get OK. Itried several European ROMS which you can find on several sites like this one, but not 1 is getting OK. All the possible tips to get out of a boot loop (wipe cache/ wipe data etc etc) didn't work out.
I cannot imagine what might cause this. Is it logical that there is some kind of region code soemwhere in the hardware or so, that mkes it in compatble with a European ROM?
Is there somebody out there who can help me to sort this last hurdle out? It is annoying.

Hi
I received 3 days ago my Unlocked Galaxy S II from amazon and the phone came from poland according to the box, so i was reading the Rooting guide for this phone and theres no Firmware from Poland in the list, so 2 questions regarding that matter:
Can i use whatever Firmware i can from any country/region to root it??
is there a way to go back to the original Firmware(polish one) if i want to sell the phone or i just want to do it.
Thanks very much to all the responses, im new to samsung so im a little sceptico about all the procedures.
Second Issue:
my phone is updated to official 2.3.5 and every once in a while the phone turns off and i have to reboot it to make it work again, i read that it happened while in pocket since power button gets pressed, but it happened to me when its over the desk with no pressure over the power button at all, any ideas here??
Thanks to all for the responses.

Any ideas?? Somebody??
Hi,
Long story!
I got an S3 from a friend who need help because it was very slow and whatnot, anyways, he also told me that this S3 is not from UAE but it's working fine here, just very slow.
I said well, I will install a UAE firmware and hard rest it, which I did but ever since, I get this NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK.
I read every possible thread about this issue here and elsewhere and tried all methods like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z6zTfe-sC4
None of it worked out for me.
I tried another Android firmwares (4.3 Etisalat UAE, 4.2.1 Etisalat UAE and finally 4.3 T-Mobile Germany)
The reason, I chose Germany is because when I did first the hard reset before installing the UAE firmware, the phone was in German, so I had to choose English.
Now, obviously something in the UAE firmware is not compatible with the phone, maybe modem, basband...I don't know.
How do I know which firmware to download from sammobile and from which country.
I'm not even sure that it's Germany! It could be Austria, Swiss and even Germany has many operators, O2, T-mobile, Vodafone etc......
Is it even possible to restore the phone to it's very original software after trying all of these Firmwares? I doubt it.
One more thing, from the threads I read here and there about this problem, this issue has to do with the IMEI but it's not my case I think.
When I hit *#06# I get a regular IMEI, nothing lost.
PLEASE HELP!
Thank You in advance
Take it back to your friend. It's either stolen and imei blacklisted or region locked now you updated it to 4.3.
Search and read to find out more.

This friend of mine works at the Norwegian Embassy and his phone he got it from the Norwegian staff there, but it was bought outside the country.
And he has been using it for over a year .
Anyways, I went to samsung and it's either software or motherboard because the IMEI is showing on the device meaning it's written on the software but it got corrupted on the hardware.
will see
waiting for their call
Motherboard
Hello. Very quick question I'm hoping someone might be able to answer definitively. I picked up a Galaxy Note 3 Neo today (model SM-N507) which is the Taiwanese version. It has only been updated to 4.3 whereas some other territories are on 4.4.X. My question is, would it be possible to flash one of the Official Firmware builds from Sammobile and NOT risk bricking the phone?
For example, in the event that the flashed build has different LTE bands, would a problem like this actually brick the phone, or would I (theoretically) be able to use it, just without LTE? I am willing to experiment so to speak, so long as it doesn't actually prevent me from using the device.
In the past I had purchased a Hong Kong Galaxy Tab 7.7 that wasn't updated to JellyBean and flashed a Malaysian Firmware without a hitch, but in said case the model numbers were the same. With this, I would be flashing SM-N505 or such.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Hey guys, how you all doing?
A few months back i messed up and hard bricked my phone (Moto X 2nd gen) doing an OTA update. The company wanted to charge me with 250 bucks, so i bought a new phone. (moto Z play)
The other day I got an email from AliExpress where they were selling a new motherboard for 20 bucks. So I got it to fix my "old" phone.
Everything worked perfectly, but when I started the phone, everything was in chinese, even the android version..
Being the chinese version, it doesn't have Gapps and it doesn't allow to use my native language (Spanish).
So my question is: Could I flash the Spanish stock rom or would it brick again? I just want to have a phone just in case mine breaks or something. I want to be able to get OTA updates and all, but with the Spanish version of the OS.
I hope you can help me. Thank you very much for your time and for future responses.
Cheers!

Yes you can but your phone becoming a brick depends on whether you screw up while flashing the os.
If you can then pls invest your time in another motherboard since I have heard that Chinese motherboards aren't that good because some are fake etc..
Have a nice day!

[Guide] GPay in unsupported country (Yes, India too)
Okay so after having tried several guides, apps hacks and what nots, I couldn't get GPay to work here in India. However after some more fiddling around I ended up getting access to rather easily than expected. I'd straight away get to the steps...

maybe the same process could be done to make samsung pay work in your region.
