Smart LTE prepaid
[Galaxy Note II General] council:
Use abroad

Hi,

Can a locally bought Note 2 7N100 (from Smart) unit be used abroad (Australia) using their local SIM card?

FWIW, baseband is DLK5, Build DMC3.

BTW, what's the current official firmware for this model here in the Philippines?
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
Check your Aussie carrier. If it supports these bands then you should be fine:

2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G: HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

I succesfully flashed it. I ordered for a globe lte sim. The problem is i dont get LTE signals even though i am on an area that has lte. Is there somebody who succesfuly got lte
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
Get your prepaid LTE sim provisioned by Globe. I read from other threads that a lot of Globe users did this by either calling Globe customer service or going to the service center.

Dude . Did you get lte signals from globe already?
[Galaxy Note II General] NadMaj:
try asking in this thread kabayan... this is the only PH thread where majority of the users are of the LTE variant (I9505)..
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
You need to get it provisioned..that is Globe will have to enable LTE on your LTE postpaid SIM. This sounds odd but this is what happened to some users in the i9505 thread. (This and having a globe firmware installed should get you the LTE signal)

switching firmware

Hi Sirs,

Short background:

Current Phone: Note 2

Current Build: DMC3 (from Smart - originally downloaded as DMB2)

Available online and downloaded firmware:

GLB	N7100XXDMB2 (Globe)

XTE	N7100XXDMB2 (Philippines)

I understand the Note 2 isn't locked - I tested it with a different SIM.

Few questions:

1. Would there be any difference between the Smart and Globe firmware versions?

2. Would it be possible to "switch" from one to the other - using the necessary tools we have (Odin, etc)

3. Is this "generic" (Philippines) firmware any better or safer if I were to use it in another country, compared to Smart or Globe?

Lastly -

Where could I find the changelog (or similar) to see the differences between the firmware variants (Smart vs Globe) or DMB2 vs DMC3?

I'm moving abroad in a few days and I want to be sure my phone works well enough there.

Many thanks!
[Galaxy Note II General] redlinux:
1. No major difference; both are the same at 4.1.2 (latest)

2. Yes (try Mobile Odin and you'll never have to use a PC again)

3. I don't think it would matter. As long as you get that signal on your phone, you should be fine.

4. Unfortunately, I have yet to see one. Perhaps our other kababayans know where to get this changelog (if it does exist).

SG Note II to Philipppines

can i upgrade firmware of Singapore Note II to Philippine Note II version for my phone to support Philippine LTE service?
[Galaxy Note II General] jon1011:
I don't think that there's a Singapore variant, so probably you're using the international variant (GT-N7105).

If yes, then the answer to your question is also a yes. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] wyndcryst25:
Assuming your device is Note II LTE or N7105 and unlocked, yes you can flash Philippine FW. Also your SIM card should be LTE ready, visit your data provider center for replacement if it's not supported yet.

Hope this help.

After rooting and if you want to stay on stock FW but want some theming/tweaks (i.e., changing battery color, clock color, and so much more not just theming) look for Xposed Framework and modules, it is also included in the the guide above.

Here are some screenshots to show to you what Xposed FW can do:

Hey guys. Anyone had experienced the same problem and was able to solve it?

I had my note 2 for like 2 months now, never rooted or flashed anything (pure stock). Lately I decided to wipe data/factory reset it due to some apps frequently crashing. The phone didn't have any problems after the wipe. However, what I notice is that Kies Firmware Updates doesn't seem to recognize my firmware anymore. Any idea how to fix this? My bad this is my first android phone. TIA

It says in Firmware information:

Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.

*current firmware version: PDA:MC3 / PHONE:LK7 / CSC:MC1 (XXX)

[Galaxy Note II General] wyndcryst25:
Hey bro!

Based from your current FW version, MC3, latest version for the Philippines is MC3 both for N7100 and N7105. So no updates for now.

Btw, if you want to root it and enjoy ur phone to the fullest, find the guide of dr.ketan. He is quite very helpful.

And next time your apps misbehave, just go to settings > application manager > choose the misbehaving app > Force stop > clear cache and data > uninstall > reinstall. It will save you more time than setting it up again.

And oh, i mistakenly pressed the thanks button of yours and that is ur first, u should be thankful to Tapatalk. :D

Hi. Thanks you so much for your reply. Apparently, this isn't from the Philippines. My wife bought it in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Im just wondering how come Kies is giving me this now "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.

*current firmware version: PDA:MC3 / PHONE:LK7 / CSC:MC1 (XXX)" when It used to tell me that My Firmware has the latest updates whereas now its saying Kies doesn't support update on my firmware. Or that's nothing to be worried of?

One more question sir, will there be any difference if I flash Philippine ROMS? I saw these from another thread

N7100XXDMC3 N7100OLBDMD1 - Philippines(Globe)

N7100XXDMC3 N7100OLBDMD1 - Philippines(Smart)

N7100XXDMC3 N7100OLBDMD1 - Philippines(Sun)

N7100XXDMC3 N7100OLBDMD1 - Philippines

and i kind of gotten interested if they will work on my ROM, or perhaps if there's gonna be a difference or totally the same. Thanks for your patience, im still on the process of learning :)
[Galaxy Note II General] wyndcryst25:
Hi Bro!

Learning is good!

As for your phone, assuming it is unlocked on any provider of Saudi Arabia, you can flash via odin or mobile odin the XTE or Philippines version. No difference between those 4 if based on change lists, carrier name was just added to note that you have to use it if your lock on the particular carrier.

Also, say your phone is locked to a particular carrier in KSA, you can unlocked it using GalaxSimUnlock paid app from Play Store then flash XTE version via mentioned method above. There is a free way to unlock it but you have to downgrade to 4.1.1.

Hope this helps you Sir.

[Galaxy Note II General] afylioe:
Woah this is a very good and informative reply. Many thanks. I don't think that my phone is locked to any KSA carrier since I was able to use smart/globe sim cards after it arrived here in the Philippines. I found out that the firmware I'm using was N7100XXDLK7 - Poland which is from 26.11.2012 update. So switching to N7100XXDMC3 N7100OLBDMD1 - Philippines XTE (April 2013) should be a good choice for me right? btw what is XTE if i may ask? sorry, couldn't seem to find what it stands for in the web, or perhaps my searching isn't that good. Thanks again :)

Im not sure about which brand is good but if you're planning to get one, you may want to install Galaxy Charging Current (Playstore App) on your phone, then try each cable that you see. A good cable should give 1700-1800 Average and Maximum Scores. My stock cable gives 1800 of both scores.

PS: The cable needs to be plugged btw, otherwise there wont be any currents lol. Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy Note II General] wyndcryst25:
Heheheh... I could not find it before either.

XTE maybe is just a nomenclature for unbranded carrier here in the Philippines.

Just a couple more of days reading and probably you will root your phone too. :) :)

btw about the slim rom, ive got it working for a couple of days now. and it seems to work well witht he LTE phone i got from ensogo.

sorry about the typos from the last post, i think im gonna stick to the slim rom till there comes a stable 4.3 version.

It worked well with the titanium backup for the apps, but it got some issues with the contacts backup by titanium,

it restored the contacts but for some reason the it doesnt get recognized by the messaging. luckily i got the trend micro backup as well. so i used it for the restoration. my google contacts is messed up so cant rely on that. anyway i hope this helps :).

data base for directory bind not yet sure if its gonna work or not.

Only issue im thinking of is how do i install the "samsung apps" app since its got a few free apps available that aint free on google play.

anyone who knows how?

thanks!
