GT-N5100 change ROM - bought in China

[masbath]

Dear all,

i am living in China and I receive the note 8 GT-N5100 for present... but as you may know in China, Android is customised with no google services and play store! impossible to choose language except korean, chinese and english (but all the samsung applications are much more chinese languages aware than english)...

So I try to change the chinese ROM with a european one last week end through Odin but it failed during the process (on the forum, it seems that a bootloader or something like is blocking the process) and I restore it through KIES.

i am now in a guerilla mode with my tablet as i will whatever it takes to break these chinese limitation and have a real international tablet.

i read that mobile Odin pro could be a solution? but through the device no appstore, so can't buy it (and seems that mobile odin is not covering yet note 8).

i am looking for your help on that, if you have any ideas, please help!

thanks

Questions first. Are you rooted? Can you use the root tools here to root your device? That will be a prerequisite for most things. If your trying to instal the google framework for play services Try the instructions on this link Make sure you use the manual installation method. I know this is for the kindle fire HD but the file structure should be similar and it will get ya up and running.

hi thanks for you reply.

i added a file named: CF-Auto-Root-kona3g-kona3gxx-gtn5100.tar.md5 through Odin on the table with no problem (red android robot as a pirate) and it has added superSU.

so i suppose that i have rooted it?

Try the v1,1 toolkit for the Note 8. You find if in the original android development Section. Install and follow the Instructions, You have to check if your version is supported, else you follow the instructions and send your version to the dev. Then wait for support. I found the toolkit great and easy to use. Just root and install custom recovery, and you will be good to go!

Your rom ends with BMD2, therefore it's outside the span BMC9- BMD1. Follow the an screen instruktions, and send your version to the dev. He will add your version shortly, then you are able to run custom roms!
