I'm having the hardest time finding an answer to this. From what I can tell the T3 has slightly different firmware vs. the T, but I can't find any other difference.
Can anyone enlighten me? And if they're practically identical, why create a new model number?
Thanks in advance!
We have one of each, and I've been wondering the same thing. Other than the software difference, the only other thing I can see is that the T3 seems to be a little faster and more reliable on LTE benchmarking.

The T3 is a slightly newer/different hardware. Both can run ROMs built for the 900T. And, they are rooted the same way. However, the firmware is slightly different. I have a T3 and it wouldn't boot when I accidently Odin'ed the 900T firmware. This was before I realized I had a T3. However, I downloaded the T3 firmware and it worked great. And, then I just flashed the 900T ROM that wanted.
Here's a link to the firmwares for the T3:

Can someone as to be so kind to explain step by step on how to go about flashing this particular version of the Touch Dual **I've never done it before**
Because its seems as though alot of these ROM's are for the European version.

(For the first part of you havent flashed it yet)
Yes, a lot of the roms are for the Euro (Niki). Ours is the Neon.

VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!
The last thing I would ever need to do is to damage this pretty brand new device and make it become a paper weight
Hi, I am opening this sub-forum for N7005 variant as its a closer relative to I717 than the international N7000 note.
So far, as read and tried from other earlier posts, I managed to root, flash CWM, flash TWRP and flashing of various roms from this I717 Forum without any issue, yet. No changing of modems. So far, no issue with basebands so 4g still works great.
Roms I have tried, the original Paranoid Android and the Cookies & Cream. Both are great roms.
Hope that the Mod dun close me down on here.
Cheers!

Are you trying to say that you had use the same firmware to root your lte note using i717?
yup..
Followed this method.. TWRP same as I717.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-i717-roms/how-to-root-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
Original thread that I read was from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1876490&page=2
This is a good thread. I have been trying to find the N7005 all over google and got very a little and mostly, 'irrelevant' results. I believe the note LTE might be a different from the N7000.
Would also like to know if you already have successfully installed the I717 custom ROM on your N7005?
Yes.
I am starting to believe ours have the exact same hardware as I717. It just carry a different model no because of the different baseband.
I have tried ( and successfully flashed ) the original Panaroid Android, the Cookies & Cream, Unofficial CM10 and Liquid Jelly. and also a kernel ( cant remember the name..) All worked well apart from issues with the standard bugs from the current developement of Jellybean. Just be careful not to touch the modem.
There is one little problem though.. I cant really find a convienent way for ours to flash back to stock or remove root if I ever need to send back for official servicing. The only solutions on the web suggest flashing US Carriers specific roms , which does not apply for us.
Well actually, there is a way to go back to official stock.. 2 day ago there was a minor update from samsung. so I flashed and it remove the root. And my firmware now read, Official Samsung.
I haven tried flashing again as I felt that though all the developers are working very very hard for JB and I do really appreciate the efforts , imo its not that stable yet.
Its pretty safe, I tried and they worked. BUT, PLS DO A BACKUP OF YOUR STOCK ROM!! Need any more info, I can share.
Disclamer: I will not be responsible for any kind of damage, bricked or blow ups...
And, U have to understand that if things goes wrong during flashing or any weird errors appears later, the developers are not oblige/not able to help as the I717 stuffs just " happen to work " on our device.

I'm currently still stuck with my SGS, looking at N7005 when my contract expires. You said don't touch the modem, why is that the case? From my understanding you can just flash the baseband back on my SGS, is there an issue if you flash another modem on the N7005? Region issue?
The SGS have great international and local support. Any resources are readily available.
I717 is pretty much confined to the US. Their modems are specific to their baseband's bandwidth. There is no such modem in our region that u can safely flash that is guaranteed to work with our carrier. I know HK they have a forum for N7005 but its all in chinese. I am not too good in that. And, I dun see any real needs to flash the modem as well.
BTW, for local users that have a habit of flashing roms, I wouldnt recommend this model at all. The device is great but zero local support. I have even checked with Official Samsung Singapore and they dun even know if N7005 is getting JB but Original Note N7000 will be and the Note 2 will launch with JB. Go for more sensible options my brother...
I bought this purely because it was cheaper that time. And I traded in my nexus so this phone was basically free.. Then later I realise I will have the flashing "issues"..

I did look at the original note and S3, but what I wanted was larger display and I have a budget so I might not consider Note 2. I wanted to get LTE Note since it supports LTE and it would be a waste if we didn't make use of that.
I did see on starhub website that it states it is upgradeable to JB, but their website is always providing inaccurate information. Thanks for the recommendation, might reconsider. :good:

Can I have the link, please?
The 4g would come in handy for sure. I actually turned that off coz its eating my battery like theres no tmr..
Regards the HK forum, I dun have the link anymore.. ask Google my friend..
I realised the information on our local telco (Starhub) said processor is 1.4 Ghz, but the SHG-I717 is a 1.5 Ghz Scorpion.
Also the firmware stated on Samsung website says it should be ICS instead of GB, where Starhub says its GB and upgradable to JB?
So which is correct??
Look elsewhere for information. Believe the opposite of starhub. The specs they listed belongs to the international note N7000.
Hi dude, can u please show how u did to sucessfully to flash this stock roms to pandroid rom.. thank you in advance

I've been reading forums and searching forums all day, but can't seem to find a definitive answer to whether I'll be able to root my specific version of tablet or not, there's so many different types, build numbers, UK versions/US versions my head is close to blowing! Any advice would be soo much appreciated.
I bought a tablet off Ebay, a GT-7510 (US version I think, although I live in the UK) which came with Honeycomb installed. I then updated OTA to ICS 4.0.4, but it seems pretty laggy in general compared to the other Galaxy tabs I've seen, now I'm at the point where I'd like to root it and try some custom roms to see if they're any better than the stock ICS rom.
Here is the info for my tab which I think is relevant:-
Android Version 4.0.4
Kernel version 3.1.10
Build number IMM76D.UELPL
I've found so many different methods of how to root certain variations, but can't be certain if one of them applies to my tablet, whether I'd have to flash it back to Honeycomb, whether it only works for UK or US versions etc etc, that I've given up searching and thought I'd start my own post, and hope that somebody could tell me whether I can definitely root my device, and which would be the best method to do it? I have no warranty on my device as it's a refurb, so rooting doesn't bother me, but I'm worried about using the wrong method and bricking it.
Really hope somebody can help me, thanks very much in advance for any advice.

For the P7510, rooting it is dead easy - just download a recovery and flash it using ODIN. See the rooting guides here. Honeycomb doesn't complicate things at all.
Thanks k1mu, when you say honeycomb doesn't complicate it at all, some of the guides I've read specify that they're for honeycomb installations only, I have the stock ICS rom which was installed OTA, is Android version not an issue anymore, and the guides will work no matter which version you have installed? Also, my tablet is a GT-7510, not a P7510, not sure what the difference is, if any? Sorry if I seem dumb, just want to be sure before I go ahead.
Thanks very much for your help.
Just to update for anybody searching who is as confused as I was, I got root access using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029664 from user Jovimon.
I recently switched carriers. I was previously on sprint and now I am on Verizon. I had 'goodness jellybean' on my sph l710 & I also have it installed on my sch i535(rooted obviously and also unlocked boot loader). I had the KT747 kernel on sph L710 & I really liked it. I tried flashing the KT kernel onto my I535 model using the version that comes in the Team Nocturnal add one. It flashed and worked and everything seemed good except one problem....my screen rotation was backwards. I tried the Agat kernel also and ran into the same issue. So my question is this, is there different variants of the kernel? I'm sure most of you if not all, know that goodness was ported over from Sprint to Verizon. My thoughts were that if the kernel was listed in the add one/mods that it would be compatible with said phone model it was shown on. I've been looking all over for the answer to this and have not found anything explaining it. This is my first time posting on here, so I apologize if i rambled on to long or anything else annoying. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated regarding my issue or tips on posting in the future. Thanx in advance!
Phone is SCH I535

Ah...10-4, tho...would it still not apply tho, due to the fact its a general question that applies to all phones and not just the s3 even? Not that I'm arguing your point Cuz I do see your point, but its a gen question applicable to all variants. But if it does need to goto the intended forum, how would I do that. Thanx
Well, kernel is specific to the hardware of the device. Simplistically, it communicates between the applications and hardware. So, yes, it would vary with phone version. To stay on topic, this means on my I9300 I cannot use a kernel from any of the variants you mentioned.

OK...perfect. I don't know why I was having such a difficult time with this one. Either way, thank you very much. Like I think I mentioned before, in the tn updater it brings up that KT kernel. I'm thinking maybe that wasn't changed when it was ported over from the Sprint version. Maybe, maybe not. I just now actually came across the Verizon version of it. Thank you for your help though, very much appreciated. Hopefully this may help someone else out to, who is still learning the ins n outs of this 'stuff' lol. Take care
I'm sorry, I searched the forum but can't seem to find the answer; What are the differences between the FOG and FOF versions? I have an S5 custom rom with the 0B1 baseband that I'd like to bring back to stock, but I'm not sure what to use or what to avoid. Thank you.
