N910T firmware on N910w8 - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All
excuse my ignorance but is it possible to flash n910T stock firmware
on n910w8 as both are snapdragon LTE varients?
So in other words I want to go from ANJ3 stock firmware to ANJ7 stock firmware..
My Note 4 is rooted with cwm recovery and I understand that i'll loose the root and
cwm recovery if I flash the stock firmware and I am totally fine with that.
Please let me know, Much appreciated!
Cheers

Anyone?

I'd hold off for now until development shows a bit more and people understand it a bit better. On the Note 3 for example you could flash any of the SNAPDRAGON N9005 ROMS on any of the devices, only difference was you had to install the kernel for your device.
EXAMPLE : Flash an N900T ROM onto your W8 would be OK but you'd have to flash the W8 kernel to get it to boot and work (wifi/signal etc).
EDIT: Just re-read, Stock isn't possible via ODIN as it changes the system and boot partitions are different, however with Custom ROMS my explanation is OK

Thanks for your detailed reply bud,
I guess i'll have to wait like you suggested. Only reason I wanted to switch firmware is because I find note 4 very laggy with the Canadian (n910w8) firmware. I know it's not my device because I've played with 3-4 different note4s and they are all the same. I've also gotten rid of most of the bloatware. Had a T-mobile note 3 prior to this and that was blazing fast with stock rom (bloatware disabled not removed). Not sure what the deal is with Note4s, i truly hope a future firmware update will fix the lag.

I imagine an incremental software update will fix the lag. The LG G3 also suffered this fate and was fixed with a little patch.

Yeah but when? I am infuriated and frustrated with my Note 4. I experience lag and complete sh*t wifi performance. I feel like I've been ripped off for buying this crap that isn't even throughly tested before shipping.
Samsung announces 9.56 Billion Dollars $9,560,000,000 profit in 2013 and yet they can't make a f***king stable phone to ship. Absolutely pathetic. At least Apple patches and pushes iOS fixes literally within a week. I don't expect to see an update to the SM-N910W8 for weeks if not months from now. On the Note 3 they were few and far between.
What a waste of money (and no I can't return it store policy used over 30 minutes of talk / 50 MB of data yeah yeah canadian carriers are rape and they get away with it so don't go down that road).

Glad you confirmed that all the devices in the store are also affected. Its rarely a hardware issue despite what people say "Return it and the new one didn't have it" more or less those people just aren't perceptive enough and believe what they want.

I was wondering, I would love to switch to Sprint or tmobile but I don't get 4g coverage were I live, is there a way to make a tmobile or Sprint note 4 get 4g lte from Verizon's towers, would it be possable to flash a different radio would that work. Thanks

[Q] Differentiate between US and CAN WiFi Tabs?

So I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 I bought here at best buy in canada a while ago and threw some custom rom's on it right away. Then in prep for the annoucement yesterday I followed Overcome's method to get back to stock. My question though is am I on stock US tab now? Or how do you differentiate between the two? Is it just tied to the Samsung Account you need to update your device?
If there is a difference in versions, how can I find a stock Canadian ROM? I have searched but came up empty handed.

Works like a charm. NOTE: You need to be rooted for this to work. I tried going from the US stock unrooted 3.2 and it kept crapping out on the restore of the system. Rooted the US stock and tried it again and works great! Hope this helps someone.

So if you are in Canada and had a US rom on your tab and flashed the Canadian rom and successfully upped your tab to the Cancadian ICS then technically anyone here in the States should be able to do the same thing and have ICS and avoid the wait.

If it would be only that simple... Methinks the serial/type number (and IMEI if applicable) will also come into play as this is transmitted back to the OTA server (at least, that is what I heard).
So, you could try when the 'got it' messages start flying about, but my guess is that it will not work.

Hey im the same boat as the other fella i have a Canadian tablet with a us rom after i tried out s ome other roms and wanna go back to canuck so i can get ics.. but everytime i try your rom my clockwork mod doesn't detect it.. am i doing something wrong? Am i using the wrong clockwork? I import and put it in the backup file of clockwork mod and try the back up restore but nothing even when i try to direst it by pick from zip file it doesn't detect the rom.. please help!!
I don't think there are any physical differences between wifi tabs are there? Its only what software that gets installed on them. Like how the US version has access to music in the play store but us Canadians don't.
I know with my Tab 10.1 3g internally its identical to the US. I use a T-mobile SIM with it and it works great when traveling to the US. But the back on my Telus unit has the pebble blue back on it and the T-Mobile reps were loving it because their Tabs all came with white backs.

Right on the dot. Hardware (except for colour) is same, software just a smidgen different, but there are no running fights between Apple and Samsung here in Canada. We are not important enough as a market.
I just bought a stock Canadian 7510 from a friend and did a factory reset on stock recovery....tried OTA and there still isn't an ICS update for this machine. I thought I would hold out but it's just not worth the wait when there are so many smooth and stable custom options. CM10 and AOSP have spoiled me...the 2nd camera would just be icing on the Jellybean cake.

Same here, none of my friends' Canadian P7510 tablets (some US ones did get the update, while in Canada) have seen any movement, neither OTA nor Kies... Seems we will have to wait "because we are too friendly"...
Ah well, even though it is not fun, it is what it is. Is CM10 now with fully functional cameras for the P7510? Methinks that will be the way to go anyhoo...
Still doing my twice-daily checks on ICS, which keeps me off the street. What better way to spend time in anticipation of something that may be coming later in the fall...

Thanks for notifying, now about the locked bootloader, got any where on that? is it the same as the AT&T s4? confirming if recoveries, kernels can be flashed. Also do you have a recovery.img available? (so I can build cwm and twrp)

Hey Guys,
Here is an extracted boot.img, recovery.img, and sboot.bin from the I467UCAMF1 firmware... they have since updated to I467UCAMF2 OTA via AT&T, but it might be worth still looking into making a root/recovery for the MF1 version or possibly seeing if it will also work on MF2 or if it is possible to downgrade via ODIN.

Hi DanMc85,
Have you already root your i467? I'm about to buy one today but would like to know if we will see some new ROMS from XDA, etc. Could you confirm to me that your i467 is LTE like Canadians one?
Thanks,
JmCourir.
RIP
Nobody made a custom recovery or ROM for this device. Rest in Pieces Note 8.0.
Bricked it, Reflashed JB, Bricked it, Reflashed JB, Updated to kitkat, Tried to reflash JB, failed.
:crying: RIP :crying:
I know this is an old thread, but I just can't let go of this tablet! I need a tablet that is not too big or too small so that I can take notes with it. A 10" tablet gets heavy in your hand after a while. Further, very few tablets come with a built-in stylus. If I have to carry an extra stylus, I would either forget or lose it. In fact, I read a 2017 report that Note 8.0 is considered one of the best tablets for note taking! Enough promotion for this aging (4-year-old) device. Now the reality...
Until anyone comes up with a bootloader exploit, the SGH-I467 (AT&T version)'s obituary is essentially written. Yes, you can root it with KingoRoot. Since it's one-click, it cannot get simpler. However, if you can't bypass the bootloader, you are stuck with 4.4.2.
However, the Canadian version (SGH-I467M) has an unlocked bootloader. If anyone would just port a kernel for this tablet, it would give this one many more years of life. Even with the GT-N5120 Lineage OS 14.1 ROM and Boeffla kernel, I can get LTE connection and Nougat out of the box. Light sensor and MIC are still broken, which is expected since this is N5120's kernel. N5120 has two MICs and proximity sensor while I467M has only one MIC and no proximity sensor. I assume N5120's kernel on an I467M would be looking for the wrong MIC and there is some correlations between the proximity and light sensors. Bluetooth is also broken. I don't have explanation for it. I can't explain either why Boeffla kernel would enable the LTE connection since the European radio bands are different than the North American ones. I'm happy it's fixed though! The native kernel from the 14.1 Lineage OS can never establish the radio link though it does see the SIM and IMEI. (The 13.0 LOS cannot detect the IMEI and SIM at all and Boeffla in this case cannot fix it either.)
I am not a developer, but if anyone is willing to port a kernel for SGH-I467M to work with LOS 14.1, I'd be happy to be your beta tester. Thank you

SGH-I467 (NOT I467M, the Canadian version) has a locked bootloader. Once it is upgraded to KitKat, you cannot go back to JB! When I used to hack SGH-I467, I downloaded the -AMF1 firmware (the only one in circulation), thinking if anything went wrong, I could always re-flash with this official firmware. Boy, I learned my lesson when I bricked it. Since mine already had Kitkat, this official JB firmware in circulation is useless. I almost sold it for parts until I came across someone on eBay offering the KitKat firmware!

It's funny Samsung released the kernel source code for a tablet with a locked bootloader. What can you do with it? I think they are doing it for the sake of fulfilling their open source obligation.
On the other hand, if SGH-I467 and SGH-I467M share very similar kernel, I can imagine someone can port it for SGH-I467M. I am actively looking for a kernel for the Canadian version, I467M, to extend the life of my Note 8.0
I have both I467 and GT-N5110, and are both on the latest 4.4.2 introduced last year about this time.
I am not a dev, but since owning the two devices, i have modded my tablets to be nearly identical. The GT-N5110 has Boeffla kernel and the I467 is stock.
Both run circles around any developed ROM, as for 10 hours of use on battery and no issues, plus mods from S5, Tab 4 and wee mods never released in any developed firmwares to complete a full featured gallery, and allow color blind, interactive control and grey scale mode.
It took messing with 5 different roms and combining missing systrm files for adding hidden features in stock framework and touch wiz.
Only needed a wee mod to remove the few stage fright mp4 issues to button up left over security issues.

[PREP] Android 4.4(samsung) preparation, do's and dont's

Hey guys, as you all know the big news about how we are recieving the big android 4.4 as announced by samsung, so what do we need to do in order to prep for this release?
Heres some tips!
1. Do a full nandroid backup! Even better yet, if you know how to, convert it to a odin flashable .tar
This is so if anything goes wrong, we have some chance of fixing the device
Backup
System, data, cache, efs
2. If you dont wanna lose warranty on your device then dont bother flashing the 4.4 firmware via odin, theres a real good chance samsung implemented knox. So just wait for a dev to release a stock, rooted rom without the bootloader and knox files included.
3. If you dont care about warranty then by all means, flash the latest firmware, and when it arrives, update via odin or simply on the device itself.
So the moral here is dont flash the new bootloader until someone either confirms there is no knox. Or just wait for a dev to release a knox-free 4.4.
Take care and get ready, get set, go!
there are a two thing i worried about and that is knox and i do not expect a huge update

actually ALOOT of things changed.. almost all 4.3 mods are not compatible with 4.4
1. because the android api level is higher
2. because almost every single file got a re-write

If US gets 4.4 then international certainly will as US is slower at updates than the rest of the world so theoretically the unlocked 19300 should get the updates first!

Yes, and that is to be expected, since root trips the custom flag.
I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect you'll be waiting a looong time for CM on the S6, given the exynos processor and locked Bootloader (on our ATT version).

I can wait. With removing a lot of bloat and junk crap my phone is much faster. I notice free ram is a lot more. Faster boots without having to auto start all the junk. I'm good for now.
Just the post I was looking for. Downloading the 235.96 MB update right now.
Lol CM? They cant even perfect or at least provide decent ROM for their 1+1 and Yureka phone what more on the latest hardware. By the way I own the 1+1 and its buggy even the official releases. Im not saying Sammy software isnt buggy its jusT CM is worst.

G935U Nougat

Hi All,
I'm a little confused as to where us U firmware users stand with Nougat. I've seen differing reports of what the known plan is with this. I believe some are saying we're waiting for Verizon to release it to the 935u, otherwise I'm reading that we're on a quarterly update schedule and won't be seeing anything until April.
I bought my 935V from VZW and flashed over to unrooted U firmware - actually by using the normal flash method and then doing a firmware restore from verizon's utility to get full unroot. Not exactly a typical method, but it gave me peace of mind knowing everything is completely stock U.
Everything is running great so I'm not in urgent need of an update for any reason, but would like to see some new features.
Lemme know if anyone has any clues here as for what to expect. Thanks in advance!
Not exactly sure what you mean by going full "unroot".. unless you ment, you wanted the U firmware for a smoother "root" can you please clarify bubby?

Good to know. Thanks.
I had to root in order to flash U FW, but the root process we have for GS7 is really process heavy and battery draining. I wanted an unrooted version of the U firmware with no bullsh*t and good battery life so I unrooted and restored using the software tool.

Ah Gotcha, sorry I misunderstood the op. Maybe give the T or V carrier FW a spin till U gets released? I haven't upgraded yet but am tempted. Been using stang 5.0 rom and been pretty impressed. I'd say I would recommend it even with the faults of the eng boot.
I also believe I seen a "no root no bull**** playstore Nougat rom" by jkruse, or something to that effect. If that's something your into
Lots of cry babies over in the Samsung forums. I can see why everyone is so upset but Samsung never promised faster updates for unlocked variants over carrier models. I'm content waiting at least until April for the nougat release of the 935u. Screw Verizon bloat. It's not worth putting up with it for Nougat.
There are some articles with Samsung's new commitment for monthly security updates on unlocked devices. This should mean that the 935U will get Nougat this month with March security update.

Well, sorta agree with you. I'm patiently waiting for the U update to 7.0, but in the mean time I'm running the Verizon update on a backup device. I can't really enjoy 6.0.1's UI after having Grace UX.
G935U Nougat (G935UUEU4BQD2) is now available!
check samfirm and sammobile for downloads of firmware G935UUEU4BQD2 (7.0)!

Smart Switch PC can also do an in-place update to 7.0. It's the April security patch.
I've downloaded the nougat U firmware and can't get it to install over the latest VZW firmware, the one that came out in the last few days. Has anyone been able to, if so please outline your steps.
I have U firmware on Verizon s7 edge works as charm. Use latest Odin to install the firmware

I would flash the full Odin package for U 6.0 and then use Smart Switch PC to update to 7.0.

Yes i have the original UDP and the tethering option works. How ever i cant get the verizon video calling to work??
So from what I'm getting, to install (if I'm on Verizon Nougat), flash Unlocked 6.0 first, then smart switch to 7.0? Also, I read that someone had been having issues with using LTE while in a phone call, can anyone confirm? And what happened to all the other fix files, since I remember the first time flashing the unlocked software required more subsequent flashes as well.
