I couldn't figure out how a VPN would help but I earlier played around with it anyway. Could not get any joy out of it. My Playstore account is already set to Philippines. I looked up xmlpak, not sure how it really works and I am reluctant to try it. Seems I would need to install the manager...

I bought and first activated my Samsung Note 8 in Saudi Arabia a couple years ago. The phone is still in factory state. It is still going great except since then I moved to Philippines and are now using it in Philippines with Philippine numbers in it. Unfortunately I found out that Playstore...

I have a Note 8 (N950FXXU7DSJ1) which I purchased in Saudi Arabia. I am now living in Philippines and having trouble installing country or region specific apps like Gcash and Angkas. Every time I have to download the apk and install it from the file browser. Whenever there is a new version I...

Its done and working!

Meticulously followed instructions and completed without issues. My Fire HD 10 (7th generation) 5.6.2.0 is fully compatible with this.

Success reported on a new Fire HD 10 with 5.6.2.0. How would I check?

Thanks for the response! I saw this before but was not sure I wanted to go down that road. Well I decided and here I go. I intend to try the following root process. Please let me know if any other preferred method is likely to be more reliable...

I was not planning to root my Fire HD 10 (7the generation) OS 5.6.2.0 so I got the 4 google account files set up as per instructions. Worked perfect. Then I installed Nova Launcher and had to add Launcher Hijack to make it stick. All worked great except no widget support. Solved that with some...

After flashing CWM I couldnt even boot up wirhout a custom kernel

Thanks Geoz

I been reading up and I still dont understand! Can someone please explain it in idiot terms what is Exposed and what it does! Level of understanding so that I cant even figure out if I am asking in the right place.

doedoejohn Done, rooted and working like a charm, thanks mate!

Thanks for the response doedoejohn! Before I do this can you advise if the un-bootable note 5 issue is to be expected from flashing the recovery without flashing the kernel and this is supposed to fix the issue? Second question is for purpose of sideloading where on my computer do I type "adb...

hey guys, A bit of help would be very much appreciated. My phone is N920C. I think i followed the steps 1-3 correctly then after step 4 realized I after all did do something wrong. Now I can go to download mode and via Odin flash either of the suggested recoveries. Can access either recovery...

Arghhhhh........ Tried every imaginable way that has been suggested and failed every time!!! Drivers installed and phone connects with every one of the suggested tools vroot, kingo, srs, framaroot but all exploits failing. This is my phone, any suggestions that would save me from this...

I saw what it says in the OP but just a tiny bit of hope that it will work on the Grande Duos GT-I9082, 4.2.2???

Greets, I have a note 2 N7100 for which I found an apk that allowed perfect recording but then some chip fried and service center replaced and st the note back to stock. Then I upgraded to 4.1.2 - XXDMG1. I tried the old replacement apk and it crashes, I tried this and it also crashes. Found...

There is a way, flash a prerooted ROM which will not increase ur flash count. Sent from the blue marble using XDA on GT-N7100

I guess i didn't know that.

Hey doc, Just discovered that flashing the ROM loaded stock recovery as well so had to re-flash TWERP.

Hey doc, all worked without a glitch. Thanks again!

hey doc, over the last couple years I downloaded and have Odin v.3.04, v.3.06 and v3.07 so can use any but just curious why in OP you suggesting to use Odin v.3.04?

Thanks, so far done the backup of everything including EFS. poceeding with rest. Appreciate the help. Sent from the blue marble using XDA on GT-N7100

This is the history of my Saudi Arabian N7100. An SDS hit it and got it back with a new motherboard Used mSkips Tookit wit ALLINONE to flash insecure boot, TWERP, root and busybox Flashed RedPill kernel still have 4.1.1 Now want to go to 4.1.2 to minimize possibility of another SDS but also...

That is another reason why I have not upgraded yet from 4.1.1. Still unclear what not to flash. Can somebody spell it out in a newb friendly way. Hope somebody who knows is back fro vacation and can advise.

I would think this would be a remote possibility considering that 4-5 different voltage apps confirm that the voltage is at the values I listed.

Using RedPill 1.47 and Stock ROM 4.1.1. Getting really strange UV capability. Wish somebody can tell me what is going on. :confused: Managed to drop to these hard to believe values. 200MHz - 600mV 300MHz - 600mV 400MHz - 600mV 500MHz - 600mV 600MHz - 600mV 700MHz - 600mV 800MHz - 600mV 900MHz -...

Yea slowly trying one by one new settings and letting it run for a while so that when I go to the next setting and experience an issue I am sure its the newest setting that's causing it. Thanks will do as suggested.

Gets more and more strange. GPU under-clocking and under-volting of following frequencies working for days without any usage issue. I changed the minimum and maximum MHz to include the below frequencies and didn't notice any difference in the Note behavior / performance. When running the...

Should not be a problem to set it to any available MHz frequency if you dont mess with stock voltages. Seting it to 1 GHz might though be a problem. I dont know any kernel that would alow that. During testing I had my note2 set to min/max on every frequency from 200MHz to 1600MHz. Works fine if...

Updated the OP with the full range of voltages 200-1600. I don't OC so those will not be doing. But I still have the original question. Is it possible???

Not yet using frequencies above 1200 and will not use above 1400. Even stock 1600 is not necessary. The note is fast enough even at 1200 for normal usage without palying games. The shot is just software reporting on all system frequencies. UV and UC for me. Sent from the blue marble using XDA...

You really need to do it on your own. Nobody else's setting can be used even as a start point. I tried that and ended up confusing myself. Eventualy had to start from scratch. So far finiahed testing from 200 to 1200MHz. Attached is my results so far but really doubt u can use it to start with...

Try restarting Odin while the note is connected. that worked for me.

I am using ES File Explorer and have set it up to include all my cloud storage as well as shared folders on my LAN. All works great over Wi-Fi but have not managed to figure out how to set it up to access my LAN shared folders remotely over Internet. Is it possible and if yes can you please let...

Yes higher frequencies still at stock and not used but will be getting to them at their own time. Fact though is that even with cap at current 900 MHz and with Stability test running I can still use the Note normally for any regular tasks. If I don't play games I would never need more speed...

My STweaks is also 1.1 and guessing the menu difference might be due to different kernel. I am on RedPill, stock ROM and probably irrelevant but TWERP as well. I have mixed feelings about the achieved UV. Very happy if it is true but suspicious that there is some kind of a reporting error and...

maybe you can find the answer here: http://www.nfcworld.com/nfc-phones-list/

This is really strange and probably even stranger to complain about but I want to understand. I UV on my Note and so far managed to drop to levels I find hard to believe. 200MHz - 600mV 300MHz - 600mV 400MHz - 600mV 500MHz - 600mV 600MHz - 600mV 700MHz - 600mV 800MHz - 600mV 900MHz - 600mV...

I have no idea which ROM to flash??? So many different versions. This is the history of my Saudi Arabian N7100. An SDS hit it and got it back with a new motherboard Used mSkips Tookit wit ALLINONE to flash insecure boot, TWERP, root and busybox Flashed RedPill kernel still have 4.1.1 Now...

I am on RedPill as well but no luck with STweaks. Will try Android Tuner, thanks! Really strange!!! RedPill and root so all of them should work fine, sliders are there for both CPU and GPU no obvious reason why they would not work but setting them to anything does not seem to have any impact...

> choose ur build, then to download ur ROM > 8 than > 1 then > choose the appropriate stock ROM version. if you already have the ROM > choose ur build, then > 6

What do you use to set the voltages other than the CPU voltages (GPU, memory)? I tried STweaks but it doesn't set voltage at all on my Note. Tried System Tuner, it works but also does only CPU voltages. Voltage Control works but is limited to CPU voltages and additionally the voltage steps are...

Off course will test first to see how well it works on mine. Thanks!

No time for games but want to try GPU UV as well. Expect it would give me a bit of extra battery time. Would appreciate if you can post some starting settings so I don't have to start from scratch. Thanks!

Many thanks for the settings. I also run RedPill so simply copy pasted the same. I don't run any games so no need for higher clock speeds. I limit mine to 1400. So far 100% stable and since no games with time I might be able to do even lower voltages.

Dont take it for granted, I suggest to research around but I remember about 6 months ago reading somewhere that you are able to pick the closest build. Mine was also not shown so I did accordingly and it worked fine for rooting but in spite of including recovery it stayed stock. There are though...

I been having trouble with Odin recognizing my note so uninstalled everything and started from scratch using the Toolkit. Installed the drivers and flashed All in one with Twerp. Worked perfectly!!! Many thanks! I did the above on the stock Saudi 4.1.1 ROM. Would like to now flash an...

Thanks mate, read a good portion of the thread and have to admit its way over my head so couldnt figure out how it relates but it did remind me of mskip's Toolkit. So I: unisntalled Kies uninstalled Samsung drivers ran CC cleaner ran registry cleaner rebooted Then I started from scratch with...
