[Q] note3 n9008 available roms?

Hi guys, my dad is bring a n9008 back from China. It has the qualcom 800 cpu onboard. I have done alot research on this phone, and only found the guide to root and flash recovery. So my question is: is it possible to flash roms made for other variants( such as n9005) onto n9008? Since the n9008 won't support the wifi calling from TMO, i would rather put a CM or AOSP on it.

is it possible to flash a tmobile rom and have the wifi calling working?

as always, you got your phone from china, get help there, in other words, if you want support, get yor phones in your own country, imagine this, you will get a warranty also, is not that amazing?, yes you save some money buying overseas, or from a no one knows about seller, but, at the end, you get no support, think abot that in the future,

Pray its not a fake

well i got the phone as a gift. so its not my choice at first place.
so far i'm able to install all of the n9005 roms(x note, omega, lidroid) and everything works flawlessly.
the tmobile rom can be installed normally, but i just cant turn on the wifi( it stucks at turning on screen)
anyone got a solution to that?

Now you can install a CM11 ROM!

I too have been given a GN3 as a gift but it's the N9008 model.
I tried flashing the latest N9005 KK stock firmware, but I had no luck.
Do you know if there's a possibility of "changing" the model to a N9005? Hardware wise I believe they are exactly the same?
I imagine LTE is also not on this particular model? Am I correct to say that all Snapdragons are capable of having LTE? Would it be the firmware that "enables" LTE?
I don't really want to be on the Chinese firmware.
I've rooted the device and got gapps on their, but I'd rather a proper international firmware.
If anybody can help, it'd be great.

Stockrom i9505

Hi all,
My rooted phone just broke, and i want it repaired. I don't know my original stockrom, and i don't know if it matters. I live in Denmark and i use 'Telia'.
Does it matter that it is the original, or can i just use one i find on the internet, as long as it is to i9505?
I have at ensurance on it, so it should be free, but if i use a not valid rom will it be?

Thank you very much!!
I will chose the option that can be rooted later (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/31852/I9505XXUFNB9_I9505BTUFNE1_BTU.zip/)
Also, I am suddenly very confused. When I bought my phone, it was the Galaxy S4 (on the receipt and everywhere else). Now, in that website they call it GALAXY S4 LTE. Does the LTE make any difference? I double checked, and the model number I gave you is correct: GT-I9505

Hi ,
Is a S4 capable to use LTE data transfer ( better than 3G) also your model has qualcomm CPU , that is the model use in Europe , I have a S4 3G ( I9500) and uses exynos cpu
The I9505 is a S4 LTE

I don't know why you are saying that it will only work for two weeks, but if is just change the buildnumber you can flash a turkish rom with odin, but i'm no a expert in the matter so hope someone can give you a better answer.

[Q] Please help me find the stock rom for my galaxy s4

I was an exchange student in Canada a while ago and I bought my galaxy s4 GT i9505 there, it was unlocked for other carriers, because I live in Brazil, so I bought it and a friend of mine tried to update the OS, but he did put the Google Edition OS on my phone, and now it doesn't recognize my sim card, it's like I can't catch the signal again, anyways, I have 2 main questions:
1-Can I go back to Samsung stock rom and it will be okay?
2-What is the correct stock for the M919VVLUAMDJ baseband version? Does the carrier matter? Because I don't know,because I bought it unlocked
PLEASE HELP ME =(

but then,which one should I download?
The VTR,GLW or the MCT one? The thing that bothers me is that I don't know the original carrier, since I bought it unlocked and rooted already

Every Rom is different than other, there are some goods and some bads of every rom. Its up to You, which rom suits your needs Everything that you need to know is under Settings>About

Not sure what to tell you other than your phone might have a personality disorder.

Its a strange situation.

It seems as if you have flashed the wrong cscs or something as it is showing several different things I would find the stock firmware and start clean

Thank you for the answer, I get this phone from china.
So I didnt flash anything.
The strange thing is that the S/N on the back site is not the same when I search via *#06#.
On the back site is written like SM-G950F.

maybe is a fake one ....... as I Know the S8 series an others .... are built in Vietnam

This may also be true I have seen a lot of 'clones' in my day and can tell em apart sometimes
May be one of those cross flashed refurbs
We had this issue in lg g4s real bad claim to be one model with other firmwares....ended up being 1 model with other parts and other firmwares which made for a crap of a time
Heres the issue you have a exynos model according to some info and us snap model by others. So its real hard as you may need to find what true bootloader is on the device as you may brick trying to restore as snaps are bootloader locked
I would contact the seller and ask What is up that you know something isnt right. And you are not happy as you cannot upgrade as the device has much misleading info inside it

Thank you for the information , maybe its a refurbished phone.
I will have to contact the seller.
