I cant find any differences at all actually, the offset for the S-Pen is there still and everything else works just as it did with the previous 4.2.2

Ill post my findings in the thread.
I am assuming you are talking about the browser bug? That was an issue with chrome's zoom being inaccurate on, frankly, every Galaxy Note up until now. They fixed it recently.

'H+' vs 'H' Icon
Hi
Just flashed this ROM on my HK Note N5120 LTE (CSC Was TGY). The device came from Panamoz.com as I was struggling to buy the LTE version sim free in the UK for reasonable money, and Kies was not offering to upgrade the stock 4.1.2 firmware to 4.2.2.
Used this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44241666&postcount=4
All worked fine, Answered 'No' when asked about making CWM recovery permanent. The CSC became BTU (UK) after the flash. CWM recovery was replaced with stock during the flash.
Since I am in the UK, I flashed the modem files that came with the ROM, and still get 4G. I have the same issue as everyone else regarding the S-Pen offset - probably not bad enough to flash back to 4.1.2 for me, but hopefully Samsung will fix.
My main issue is that compared to 4.1.2, I hardly ever see the device show 'H+', only 'H'. I travel the same route on the train daily, and now, I see 'H+' 10% of the time rather than 90% of the time. My other device on the same network still shows H+.
Maybe others have seen my 'H' vs 'H+' issue?
Does this device support DC-HSPA?? I recall that with the S3 and Note2, one gained DC-HSPA+42 (so called 3.75G theoretical max 42Mbps), when one bought the LTE version of the phone. The non LTE versions only had HSPA+21. Reason I am asking is I am wondering if the 'H+' now only shows for DC-HSPA rather than for HSPA+21 ??
Tempted to flash the old modem files again, see if my H+ returns to normal operation - and of course to see if its any faster.
My device is still rooted with the flash counter == 2, and It does still appear to be recognized by kies when connected to the PC. Time will tell whether I will get updates via Kies still. If not then maybe I will need to use Triangle to reset the flash counter, and then do a full unroot.

Just got mine from the same place. Your post has helped me with some questions I had. Thanks.:good:
No OTA For me
So, the next stage was to run Triangle away, which worked fine (counter reset to 'No'). Just be brave and accept the big red warning.
Following on from that, I unrooted using the unroot option in Super User app that was installed by chainfire's 'auto root'.
This worked too, and I confirmed root gone. After a reboot, I reconnected to Kies, to check that it recognized the firmware on the device as the 'latest'. It was.
I then tried the 'Software Update' option under Settings->about device, unfortunately, this no longer works it just says 'connecting to server' forever and eventually comes up with a message: 'your device has been modified, software updates are not available'. So No OTA for me.
Any idea how to get OTA working again??
Here is the screenshot from the downloading screen, showing 'official' for all the firmwares on the device. Could it have something to do with the CSC? (TGY on 4.1.2 and BTU on 4.2.2) ?
http://photos.veletron.com/index.php/album151/P1070688
If I goto Settings-->About Device-->Status, and wait an age while the 'Device Status' field updates, it reports 'custom'. I guess this is why, but how come given that the 'download' screen reports as per the above screen shot?!
Prior to running Triangle Away, and unrooting, the OTA check on the device, span for a while before reporting no new updates available.

I can not say anything about the OTAupdates since I never use Kies to update, but as for the modem, I am running the "old" 4.1.2 modem and it is working well for me, tho I have not compared my note now and before in regards to how ofteni see H+ or just H, most often I see the 4G icon where I usually hang out.
But I would try the 4.1.2 modem for your region and see if it changes anything.

Got mine updated to 4.2.2 yesterday.
Not sure why but my battery life seemed to have taken a hit since upgrading.
On 4.1.2 i used to be able to last a day easily with about 30 - 40% left each day (7am till 9pm). after updating to 4.2.2 I am down to 30% in 5 hrs. Tab gets hotter too. Anyone experience the same issue?
I am back on 4.1.2 for now. Everything's good again.
thanks man for update.
Just for info
After the update to 4.2.2 Mh1 by flashing the firmware here, I never got OTA again (says device status custom). Stock rom and flash counter zero. I was however able to update to MH2 via kies. I am still told device status custom!
No difference for me re pen pointer offset on MH1/MH2 not sure Samsung will ever bother to fix this.
My device now BTU but it started as Hong Kong. I suspect this is why it reckons it's "custom".

I have the same device but not the same problem. I also updated to MH2 via Odin and my status is normal. The offset for me is much better than previous, and I have no problem with the battery lasting more than a day using WiFi and push mail along with the normal use. However although recognized by Kies it would not update, I recon because of the CSC.

THere is a newer version. Does anyone know how we can go from JDQ39.N5120XXCMH2 to the new JDQ39.N5120XXCMI2 version?
My phone also says custom like Nigels problem above, I am having same problem that he was having when he first went to 4.2.2 from 4.2.1... I'm currently on 4.2.2 trying to go to the new CMI2.

Since I received my N7000 on November 17, 2011 from Mobilecityonline my Galaxy Note won't update. It's running UBKK2 - the CSC is TTT - which a Brazilian CSC.
I've searched every thread and correctly followed every step of the process I've found unsuccessfully, I've tried the manual update and receive "no update available" every time I read about a new firmware release. The CSC is listing only 3 codes; VNO, TTT, and TDR - I installed each one of these CSC codes in an attempt to prompt a software update to no avail. I haven't even gotten the update from January that provided the addition of the Torch & everything that came with it!
Short of rooting my Note is there anything I can do to either change the CSC Code to one that receives updates regularly or manually update the firmware? I thought I'd wait until ICS became available hoping that would correct these issues but I'm slowly getting PO'd that I may not be even to receive ICS.
Plus I didn't/don't see the reason to have rooted by now - I've rooted all of my Android devices from HTC EVO 4G's & 3D's, Nook Color, to Asus Transformers. Is there anything I can do without rooting this beast and will I even receive Ice Cream Sandwich?
I'm begging for help please. I'd sincerely appreciate ANY help and I'm willing to donate to anyone that will help achieve everything I'm missing out on to date.
Thank you in advance,
Jim G.
If keeping it stock is all you want, just download one of the stock firmwares and flash it with odin.

They are the South Amercian firmwares currently out, but the European ones are newer if you want to try those.
Wow that was fast!
Wow! Thank you for the super fast reply. Can I D/L and use any stock firmware, I was hoping to use either the UK or German versions cuz they look like they get updates more often than the rest. If I'm wrong I stand corrected - could you please point out a version to use or am I stuck using the BZ version forever?
Oh Lord I hope not! * Forgive me - I saw you suggested the EU versions after I hurried to reply, my fault! *
Again, Thank You in advance,

Brazil Note.
I too have a Note with a ROM from Brazil. Since this is my first Android phone and I'm a noob so far, what will it take to get mine over to a euro one. Will this brick my phone? What region do you recommend for a US user? I understand that you meant Europe, but there a lot of choices like open, open euro or open germany or europ or german. Any directions or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
flshing a firmware for another region is fine... I offen just update to whereever has the newest update
But if i update to a stock rom from another country without changing csc, will i be able to update via kies whenever a newer csc update gets release online for my country? I got this ideia it wont be possible and will still need to change it again via Odin. It bother me if it wipes my phone each time i update. Still in kka/5 here with unlocked phone...

After updating to another regions ROM, You can just Odin back to the original stock ROM if you really wanted to, to restore KIES function for the original configuration.
But to be honest, the only time I ever have, is just for warranty purposes, I don't touch kies in any shape or form, there really is no need.
The way I work is, I like to use the stock ROMs, but rooted etc... So, when I got the phone, I rooted it, put the ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) on and now I just update my ROM with the repacked stock versions made to be flashed with CWM. They are exactly the same ROMs but rooted and deodexed, some I "believe" are multi CSC too.
Swyped from my finger, to your face on my Samsung Galaxy Note, using Tapatalk!
Thank you for all the help! I'm choosing to use the open-Germany (DBT) stock ROM cuz I've been keeping track of the ROM that was updated the most. I found it to be the German and UK versions but it seems the open-German edges it out.
I've got it all D/L'd and am actually waiting to get my notebook up and running after a CPU upgrade. Once I receive the thermal paste updating my Beast is the 1st order of business!
It sucks that the UBKK2 firmware never allowed any kind of an update, it makes me wonder if I'd even get the ICS update when it's released on March 15 or shortly thereafter. Of course that's according to the rumor mill and I'm simply referring to that since the SGSII's received their ICS earlier today according to SanFirnware.
So who knows? Again, I thank everyone fir their help and input.

Direct from my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000
Just a "heads up", I just did the OTA update to I9300XXEMG4 (4.1.2) - United Kingdom (BTU) on my SIII. Working perfectly before the update on the previous most recent stock.
After the OTA update, the phone gets as far as the Samsung boot animation and goes no further. Factory reset via recovery menu but it makes no difference. The phone has never been modified in any way.
It's going off for repair/replacement back to Samsung UK but as it might happen to others out there, I thought it was worth mentioning.
My gut feeling is that this is a symptom of SDS, showing up only at update time.
Sigh.....
READ
*** ATTENTION *** STOCK FIRMWARE I9300XXEMG4 -> Changes EFS Folder
If it boots into download mode copy what it says and post,, my guess is this is kies being it's usual self, in which case if everything is ok in download mode then download the Rom and flash with Odin
The fact that it gets as far as it does means it's not broken and it's not the result of the XXEMG4 firmware at all. STop this fear mongering.
However, since you're totally unmodified you do right in returning ti to Samsung.
It was an OTA update, not using Kies...

All is good there, so you have a choice of returning it to Samsung or flash the Rom with Odin
Again, doesn't mean the update broken your device, not when many of us are installing the Kies version with Odin just fine :/
I'm not having any problems with EMG4, flashed with mobile Odin just fine including root.
I also don't think that Samsung will release the MG4 as a broken firmware knowing that it can be flashed/OTA'ed by masses who owns an international variant of the S3.
My guess is your download of the update got corrupted while in the middle of the file transfer. And the fact that your device can still go to download mode doesn't mean it's bricked.
KIES updated my S3 to EMG4 yesterday no problems at all. Unfortunately it still doesn't like USB chargers, like the ones provided by Samsung! Probably just bad luck. You're quite right to send it back.

Dude,
For the heck of it I flashed emg4 firmware using Odin Mobile. No issues whatsoever. I'd use odin on the desktop. If the device is still bricked, use odin on the desktop to dump the firmware. you can try an older firmware for your own comfort. It's definitely something with your Kies.
Flashed mine this morning OTA. Working perfectly.

It's definitely going back under warranty. Samsung are sending a return envelope for it.
It's possible that I'm just unlucky as my wife's S3 updated just fine at exactly the same time. "adb" cannot see it and as it's still under the two year warranty, I'll let Samsung figure it out. Glad it wasn't hers that died.. Life would be "interesting".
Maybe they'll give me a nice 32GB version as a replacement
I'm more than a little concerned that this update messes about with the EFS information. Any idea why?

ah well i got that encryption thing and now i don't go past the samsung boot animation either.
what should i say to samsung for them to RMA it?
Contact Samsung support by phone and tell them what happened. That's all I did. I explained that I had tried the normal "customer" recovery methods (factory reset etc) and there was no argument at all. Because it's my main phone and I need it to be reliable for work, it was completely unmodified, so there should be no problems.
They just wanted my details, the phone serial/IMEI and the purchase date.
Was your phone encrypted? I had decided not to do that with mine as it's a significant performance hit.
Please change the title of the thread to something more factual.
XXEMG4 - services 4 files
This is official factory 4-files firmware XXEMG4 for emergency recovery . ( TORRENT ).
I have a GSS4 i9505.
it is unrooted/100% stock, as I do not wish to muck around with any of that just incase the worst happens and it needs to go back to repair again i'd feel safer knowing that its device status remains Official.
about 6 months ago it went back to optus for repair as the battery had swollen leading to problems.... when i got it back the repair slip said, replaced battery, tested phone - no issues, updated to latest firmware.....
which i thought to be weird as i thought i was on 4.2.2 already.
anyway... Optus has now finally released their version of android 4.3... except when i go into phone settings and click update.. it says i am already running the latest version... when i connect to Kies via USB it says "your devices current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies"
in Kies i get
PDA:MDE - PHONE:MD8 - CSC:MD6 (OPS)
when i do *#1234# i get
AP: I9505XXUAMDE
CP: I9505DVUAMD8
CSC: I9595OPSAMD6
i have no idea what any of that means
would i be correct in assuming that since i have never mucked around with roms,etc and the only time anything like that has happened was when it went back to optus for repair.... that optus stuffed something up and that why i cant update ?
If you are sure to be fully stock and unrooted, then maybe kies is gone crazy.
You can manually update your phone by using odin and the last official firmware available on sammobile. (I see that for Australia(Optus) it's the 4.3 MK8)

*NOTICE TO OP
Using this method will trigger KNOX warranty void
cheers.... i had thought of odin but as mentioned about, figured that it'd probably void warranty which i would like to avoid as knowing my luck the screen would all of a sudden stop working and i'd have no way of re-official'ing it.
might just have to take it into optus and get them to update it themselves.
So essentially, I'm in a bit of a tricky situation:
I have a Vodafone UK GT-N7105.
I had stock ROM, before I rooted it and bricked it in the process. I then restored it to a similar (but I suspect different ROM):
AP: N7105XXUEMK9
CP: N7105BUUEMK2
CSC: N7105VFGEML1
The question I have, is that I'm fairly certain that I should be able to update to KitKat now, but neither OTA or Kies3 show anything.
To add to even more confusion, I've switched networks from Vodafone to O2 (UK), now.
Have I reflashed my device with a different firmware which means that I can't get any more OTA updates?
Otherwise, which firmware version would I be able to flash my device to get it "back on track"?
I'm pretty sure Samsung hasn't released 4.4.2 for N7105 (the lte version) yet! The firmware is only available for the N7100. You have to wait...

Hmm... I called Samsung up, and they told me that KitKat was released for my phone (I gave them S/N and IEMI)... but I s'pose they could just thought I had a N7100 instead of a 105
Tip 1: Questions go in the Q&A thread.
Tip 2: Here is the easiest was to find the latest stock firmware
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Have a nice day.
Ugh, I totally just said the same thing as EmptyArea above me.
Post deleted and head slapped.
After updating to Android 6.0.1, the phone is randomly losing mobile and gps signal. It happens about 30-40 times a day, especially when moving around, like driving . Almost every time I look at my phone, I see "No service, network not found" or "gps lost" messages. After about 10 seconds, the signal comes back and everything is ok again. Very annoying and impossible to use navigation apps, like Waze and Google Maps. I have made a soft reset, a hard reset, wiped all data and cleared the phone cache, checked and cleaned the Sim card. Nothing helps. Before update the phone worked brilliantly. Also noticed, that the signal won't drop when using wifi, the problem occurs only when data connection is on. And I'm not the only one, I have 2 friends with the same phone and the same problem. Looks like a software issue. Can somebody help?
PS. I'm from Estonia, and the software version is G901FXXU1CPE1/G901FBAL1CPE1
Thank you in advance...
Hi mate,
I Have the same device although mine uses a custom ROM but the problem I experienced was exactly like yours
Samsung released a new issue of the 6.0.1 for our phone, PDA G901FXXU1CPF6 CSC G901FPHN1CPF2 you can login to the sammobile site and download it
As I said above I have a custom ROM so I only flashed the modem firmware from that release and worked fine after that!
Hope that will help you!
Thanks for your response! But I'm using a totally stock phone and I see, that this firmware is for Netherlands. Does it work on my phone or I have to wait until the Baltic version is released?

Hello,
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work but just in case make a note of your Access point name settings in the mobile networks tab just to make sure that everything is the same after you flash the new release .
If you follow the steps as described in the sammobile site you won't have any problems.
What I have noticed however is that after I flashed the new modem firmware the mobile hotspot does not work anymore but this has to do with my custom ROM.
It worth trying though the performance of the phone after that is exceptional and the signal strength is higher than before and most importantly, doesn't crash anymore..
Let me know if you need help and keep me posted about your results!
i had that ROM for a while, didnt help in my case, still same issue. I'm currently on XXU1CPG3 with which the issue still persists, gonna try flashing the new TPD CSC ROM (currently the newest) ROM Version CPH9. My baseband is still CPE1, which do you guys have?

Baseband:
G901FXXU1CPE1, I have a totally stock phone with the latest official firmware.
Latest official firmware from where? ("latest" is region dependent)
Ok, the cph firmware updated the baseband to cph, on my side it's only been a while 14 hrs since flashing but it seems the signal problem is finally fixed

From what I understand it doesn't matter which ROM you are using the baseband is the one that causing this problem..
As I said I have a custom ROM and when I had the CPE1 baseband then I had all these problems.
If you flashed the ROM and your baseband is still CPE1 then something did not go per plan I think..
After flashing ONLY the modem firmware from the CPF6 release to my SMG901F is reported that the baseband version is CPG2 however..
This version works for sure..
I might try the CPH9 release now to see if the issues i have with the mobile hotspot will be solved

I'll try to install that CPH9 release too. Let's see what happens, because I have tried everything else.
To me it seems, that this CPE1 version is having problems with switching between network modes. I checked, that in Settings- Mobile networks- Network mode is set to LTE/3G/2G (automatic connect), but I haven't seen H+, H or Edge symbols on top of the screen. Only 4G/4G+ or no reception at all. Like it's locked in 4G network or something. And sometimes when there is no 4G network coverage, there is also no signal. But that is just my logic...
Ok, I flashed the latest CPH9 firmware and my baseband changed to CPH3. CSC Country turned to Netherlands instead of Baltic. And it seems that the issue is fixed!
I made a little test, I went to the cellar to get bad 4G reception and instead of showing No Service, 4G turned to H without losing the cell signal. Let's wait and see...
Thank you guys a lot for your help! :good:
Hi
1) I have the latest PHN version for SM-G901f stock& rooted. I see the TPD version, will it have dutch language if i flash it ( without wipe anything) in ODIN?
2) What does TPD stand for anyway?
I want to do this because i see TPD has latest security_patch sept 1
With rooted Phone there is no way (as far as i know (3) ) to get security updates without getting the message it as screenshot given under here....
I can confirm that the issue has been fixed for me as well! ****ing finally! :cyclops:
Btw it will not switch to Dutch

Pliss help me with step to fix it
Hello! It seems all the firmwares ending with CPE1/CPH1 are problematic. You can try some other firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G901F/
Select the firmware what seems best for you, don't select the operator-based ones, like vodafone etc. If you click on the firmware and scroll the page down, you will see step-by-step instructions how to install it. Good luck!
Ok but i can't found latest country band FW have same with indonesia network (except FW country singapure now i using it)
