If it already has Gapps then it's likely been opened and flashed unless it's a HK version but not sure about it having Gapps. The N9100 brand new Chinese mainland version doesn't come with any Google stuff on it. You'd need to root, install CWM, then flash Gapps. This, of course, trips Knox and prevents OTA updates in future although flashing via Kies should work.
Be careful - buy from legitimate places (carrier stores, well established resellers with history, etc) unless you want to risk acquiring a clone or pre-modded phone.

Not so in some regions like mainland China which is where the N9100 is intended for although there may be a N9100 variant specifically for HK (?)

Becareful that might be a clone!!!

guys i also came to know about the same and he told me that there are international version which has same !!!!!! he send me screenshot & i checked on honk kong website & it says google apps are installed !!!
me too confused.

I checked official Samsung Hong Kong website, there is no Note 4 N9100
In addition, I found a seller in eBay from Hong Kong mentioned "This phone is Chinese Version and the Rom is built by professional engineering team, which will optimize the phone performance and function based on the Official Firmware.(Support Multi-language / Support Google Play Store / Remove of China apps)"
From where they get N9100 international version with Google apps ????

Yes there is a Hong Kong version of N9100 Note 4 Dual SIM (N9100ZHU1ANK2) with Google Play services pre-installed (non-root). I'm 100% sure cos I just bought 1 in Hong Kong last week at HK$5,100
In Samsung official HK website (http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/home) you can see on some of the banners that says the Note 4 is "available in 32GB and in Dual SIM version". The Dual SIM version has only 16GB though.
The packing box is exactly same as posted by dhawal4u. It has the Samsung Hong Kong website address printed on the box and that big warranty sticker (model no.: SM-N9100ZKUTGY). It supports the following languages: Deutsh, English (UK), English (US) Francais, Italiano, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (HK) and Chinese (Traditional). This version is definitely better than the China N9100 that comes without Google services.

Purchased International Version Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + Stuck with Chinese apps HELP

I just bought an international version of the Galaxy S6 Edge + SM-G9280
This phone is stuck with all chinese data, including preset internet searches through Baidu, and chinese apps, and maps is completely in chinese.
I've changed the language settings but this is a huge issue as PlayStore is not an option to download, I am stuck using the chinese app store (Galaxy Apps) I would like to flash the phones firmware to a US version or International English version but only finding links related to the flash for the SM-G9250 (China) Firmware flash which specifically said it was for that version ONLY .
How do I do this without bricking my phone, or accidentally tying my phone to my Carrier which is T-mobile where the phone becomes no longer unlocked?
If im totally SOL how can I at least load the playstore on my phone?
Btw I have already checked this phone is not a fake it's real.
Thanks for the help guys!

Happy new year, and god luck.

Samsung Galaxy A5 SM-A520F/DS questions

HI i just bought galaxy a5 2017 duos model.
I expected it to have samsungpay, but it is not preinstalled and i can't seem to download it.
it has nfc chip so i am guessing it should support it.
perhaps it's because of the firmware's country stetting.
I found out that it has pakistan firmware installed.
does anyone have a5 2017 dual sim verion which has samsung pay enabled?
if so, would i be able to get samsung pay to work by flashing different country's firmware?
i checked smamobile and there was austrlaian version firmware available, which is perfect as i am in australia and bought the phone form grey import supplier.
does anyone know it is safe to flash SM-A520F firmware onto A520F ds version? i couldnt find ds spesific firmware on sammobile.
Thank you in advance
Hi neighbours, Indonesian here.
I'm using A5 2017 DS version as well and no Samsung pay installed also.
I guess it's only installed based on region which have Samsung pay services running on those selected country
Yeah it works fine flashing the Australian rom. I'm with Telstra so went with that one and Samsung pay is enabled. You also get VoLTE with Telstra.
My phone had the UAE firmware on it originally. Dual SIM function is still there too, not that I use that though.

SM-T350 US ver., can I Odin other official FW (other variant) to it?

Brought this US ver. SM-T350 to China and noticed that Google and all the google framework were not accessible behind the great firewall. Sammy does sell another variant of Galaxy TabA 8 incher SM-T350NZWACHN in Mainland China. Question is, can I simply Odin the Chinese official fw into this tab? I assume the Chinese variant has taken care of the google issue (providing alternative).
Thanks a lot.
I have SM-T580 and SM-P580, region is not an issue in Wifi model. I did flash Korean, Hongkong, Germany...etc. on my tablets without any problem as I could choose English is my language in the first page of setting up the tablet.
When Nougat was available in Korea or Germany, I flashed the firmware to experience with new OS. Then when US version was available, I flashed back the US firmware.

What firmware for N910F International version (stock)

I bought the samsung s9+ to replace this phone and need to send it back to samsung for trade in. Just curious which firmware should I download for the international version of the phone? I initially bought the phone in Europe over an online site like Ebay and I'm not sure about the country as I bought the international version.
