don't worry it still works here....

Filmware.

Get from Sammobile.com
It is a firmware.

Does anyone here use the Engadget app?

is not difficult, but hate once flash new firmware, when phone boot
android is upgrading .......
wait very long

any idea how much? est...

I checked sammobile, it doesn't listed as one of the Malaysia's firmware. Or is it as what you said, a Thai version? If I flash it, will it be a different method or any difference?

Edit: Alright, it's a Thailand's firmware. Is it safe to flash over a SME set?

You can flash to any version.
I'm SME unit as well and using Thai firmware.

I am using a SME set and now using the Thai DMA5. If you look carefully even our DLL7 also is the same with Thai, Phillipines, Vitenam. Singapore and other Asean region...

thanx guru
btw i cant seem to get anything then i try to type "getprop ro.bootloader"
and i saw N7100XXDLL7 which means i am on new bootloader

Thanks for the replies. I read last few days I think from tot31 that flashing a version before XXDMA5, LL2 will increase the flash counter. How did that happen or any special instructions before flashing to other region firmware?

Sigh, I really asked like a noob here regardless hw many hundreds custom roms I flashed before

but why i can still reset my counter to 0 and my binary to official using TA?

IINM...to add to your confusion

Firmware includes the WHOLE package of PDA, CSC. Modem and bootloader. Depending on the update that Samsung decides to push, you may get any, all or some of the above in the package.

Unzipping the TAR will show you. If you have flashed hundreds of other roms it's the same principle.

This seems to be occurring at random. The only reason I can suggest is that some emmc versions may have its own firmware that allows resetting, while most others do not.

Maybe you can download the app emmc check from playstore and share your firmware version.

i have checked b4 its VTU00M FWRev:0xf1

Later early in the morning gotta go to salon, forced by mum.

I was so reluctant because I thought of going only on 1st during FT Day. Then I started to give all sorts of excuses and she just threw me with one statement: "You won't be bored because you have your phone. Since your phone is so smart, you can online and watch dramas while waiting to get your hair done."

She is right, I almost forgot that I can do so many things on my Note II.

ya damn right.. .but prefer to drive with phone haha... NFS Most Wanted on Note 2 + Nooz apps + samsung headset is superb nice
