hi, i have SM-N9208 Taiwan set and having problem with the caller id is not showing which I believe it got to do with the phone number length that is different between Taiwan and Singapore. I am using it in Singapore now. So it looks like the option is to root and edit the CSC or I can try different firmware for SM-N9208 from Malaysia or Philippines. I also have issue with the keyboard but I am using swiftkey now so this workaround is ok for me. But the caller id issue is really annoying since you don't know who call you when the phone rings.

I prefer not to root of course so have anyone here done any flashing from Taiwan firmware to Malaysia firmware successfully without any loss of other functions? I want the NFC, dual sim and everything else is working as it should. Malaysia one probably is the best bet to resolve the phone number length for Singapore since we are having the same length in some number (eg. landline / mobile).

Any expert user here can give advise please? or anyone from Singapore that is also having the same issue, how did you to resolve it or did you flash with Malaysia firmware?

Thanks!!

It's a long thread so I don't know if it has already been talked about but I used this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42393470 on my Note 4 to flash different system images using Odin. As far as I know it will trip Knox but you can flash different parts of firmware to your device as long as it has the same hardware. Make sure the different parts of firmware you are flashing are from a firmware that matches your device hardware and make sure you know how to recover from a soft brick. Make sure you do not mind your warranty being void and be sure you are willing to buy another device if something goes wrong. In other words use at your own risk!
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edwardob:
simple enough....

just flash system part only tru ODIN... from another firmware

I did it..... flash Philippines system part separate and every thing work fine..

rooting not required...

I did it to get rid of Chinese keyboard stuff.....

extract required "system ' create tar file with that and your good to go...

because of modem you won't be able to flash full firmware

hope I didn't leave anything out...... see previous post in this thread

All this done at your risk..... you may trip Knox!
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuscape:
Sorry I am newbie on this and a bit puzzled:

1. So although it is the same model between Malaysia and Taiwan SM-N9208, they are having different modem? Thought both modem are the same?

2. There was a discussion previously that it was because the guy didn't run CROM app, and after CROM app was ok and can flash full firmware, correct?

3. I don't know how to get 'system' tar file for Malaysia, any idea? I have downloaded the a full firmware of Malaysia, that's all i got for now.

4. So if I managed to overwrite the system tar, what happen with the new update in the future? Does that mean I have to update it manually through odin and repeat overwriting the system tar again?

5. So is it confirmed will trip knox? how about yours after flashing the philippines system tar?

Hi all,

Did anyone tried this "DarthStaker ROM for All Note 5 Variants" ?

It's a custom ROM based from T-Mobile firmware support all NOTE 5 variants and other device too ex; S5.

There firmware is about 1.8GB size. Google will help you find it. I'm new here. So I’m not allowed to post the link.

I tried Darth Stalker V6 yday on my N-9208 and it didn't recognize my Sim until I did the 920I & 9208 conversion fix that allows the phone to recognize dual Sim Note 5's and then I only was able to make/receive calls and I never got the mobile data to work. I'm on the newer k2 baseband if that helps.

As you mentioned earlier, You had issue with data which was not working. If you have a issue, It's always worth to try. Never shot is always miss!

Hey all

I've read the whole thread and installed the Philippines TAR as given earlier and it did seem to trip my knox :(, in addition to that, I keep getting the "unauthorised actions have been detected" warning.

Does anybody else have that? Makes me wonder if the system.img in the TAR is not dodgy.

EDIT: My own little research suggested me that flashing anything that is not signed triggers Knox, after flashing the boot.img from another signed Phillipines image, my system status went into custom (as the file was extracted and repackaged into an unsigned tar file). Preventing me from doing OTA but stopping the "unauthorised actions have been detected" as it seems that the kernel is the one expected by the system. I can still update the software with ODIN and the custom cache/system imgs and that should work fine. Anyway, bye Samsung Pay :(

Hi all.

I've tried to flash N9208XXU2AOK8 latest Stock Firmware but Odin fails after few seconds (it stops at cm.bin)

My product version is BRI and the version I've tried to flash is SMA.

Could this be the cause? I thought i can flash any stock firmware as long as it is for the same device?

Never happened to my on Note4 and i was able to flash any ROM for any country ?

What do i need to do ? I really want the latest updated on my device.

Thx for your help in advance.

Folks I have a question about my SM-N9208 from the Philippines, let me tell you what happen 1st. I bought the device from the Philippines one of their Carrier (Globe) so they had it locked. I went to someone who can unlocked the sim1 slot so that I can use it here in Dubai, he was able to unlocked the sim1 slot and sim2 slot, now I can use any simcard on both btw he rooted the phone and voided knox. When I came here in Dubai all is working except the DATA, I cant choose a default network for each sim card. So what he did was useless and cost me money:victory:

He said I will be able to use the mobile data here by flashing it using XTC firmware from the Philippines. Any advise woulf be really helpful!

SM-N9208 Greek handwriting and video calls option

My Samsung Galaxy Note 5 SM-N9208 BRI doesn't support Greek handwriting and video calls.

After reading a lot of posts I am still confused.

Has anyone successfully changed /installed another stock firmware so that both these functions work? Without causing other problems that is.

If so, please bare with me and try to post detailed instructions on how to perform the required steps.

In theory all is needed is to install through Odin a stock firmware downloaded from sammobile but I keep seeing guys having problems during the Odin procedure, eg. Stuck.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anmolkakkar:
I guess the N9208 firmware is already on latest Bootloader/Modem of Lollipop i.e. OL1

And if we try to flash any other variant/CSC having a lower number than OL1 for anything, i.e. Bootloader/Modem, it doesnt allow since downgrading isnt allowed. Thats what my closest guess is.

Meanwhile I am trying to install N920C MM update on my N9208. Hoping that it doesnt trigger Knox as official Samsung firmwares dont trip Knox, right guys?

SM-N9208 to SM-N920C

Dear all.. i hope that someone can support me on the below solution:-

1. I need to flash my SM-N9208 with another note 5 version SM-N920C

2. I read the whole post and i understand that i cant directly flash with the full SM-N920C firmware

3. Solving this requied:-

A. multi-file firmware (4 files BL,AP,CP,CSC)

B. Re-partition by using PIT file

4. Doing this with Odin is very easy and clear.. there is a place in Odin for every file mentioned above.

I just need your experiance to confirm whether i am right or something is wrong ?

And i need your confirmation on the PIT file that i am going to use.. is it the PIT file for SM-N9208 or PIT file for SM-N920C ?

Since i am going to flash to SM-N920C i need to select the PIT file for the version that i am willing to flash to, right ?

So I bought my shield tablet back in March, used it until about may I think. Was browsing the internet then it suddenly crashed and got stuck on the Nvidia boot screen. tried to reboot several times. Nothing. So I forgot about it and thought I would just google the reset option later when I had time. Now since June I have tried everything! From factory reset to fast boot and adb my pc won't even recognize my tablet. Also I never turned on usb dbugging cause I didn't even know what that was. I even gave it to the IT guys at work and they couldn't fix it. Now after reading everything there is to read on this problem and trying to fix it myself I'm stuck on the no command screen with the dead android robot.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThunderArts:
TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery that you can flash on your device. You can flash it like the stock recovery over fastboot. With TWRP you can make full system backups, installing roms or other stuff, wipe partitions and more. Keep trying to install the drivers on your pc. Try to use another usb slot or boot your pc into test mode to install the driver. If you can still access the bootloader, you have really good chances to rescue your device.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace0169:
Okay will try that. Thanks man.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mojar7070:
I see what your doing wrong. You probably don't even have the recovery img to flash. That's why it's giving you a write error.

There is a tutorial in the general section, that should have all the files and links, etc etc that you'll need to flash TWRP/CWM recovery and root the device if you want

First off, let me ask, what is your end result for the tablet?? Are you trying to just go a Complete stock tablet or are you trying to do anything custom (ex. Custom rom, recovery etc etc)

I'm assuming that since you unlocked your Bootloader, your trying to do something custom.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amartolos:
Those official nVidia recovery images come with smaller .img files such as recovery.img, system.img, etc. You'll need to flash those one by one ("fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", then run "fastboot flash system system.img", etc. etc.) or you can just run the flashall script that I think is included in the nVidia images.

Otherwise, if you want to flash TWRP, you'll need to download the TWRP recovery (you can rename it to "twrp-recovery.zip"). Then you'll need to "fastboot flash twrp-recovery.zip" in order to flash the twrp recovery to your tablet.

OK. Then the link I gave earlier should help flash stock software onto your tablet.

However, that guide is only to go back to factory "state" Operating System wise. It may not help with hardware. Once your flash everything correctly but device still doesn't boot, its probably not software related.
