Root UK Peeps, Don't Use N8010XXALGC_N8010PAPALG5_PAP

[urbandruid]

I'll try this again in the right forum!

By way of introduction I just wanted to warn other UK GT-N8010 owners off the above firmware...

I was led to believe it was the stock UK one and flashed it yesterday. It contains a really annoying retail demo after a few seconds' inactivity, and there's no ability to lock the screen.

I learned today that N8010XXALGC_N8010OXXALG4_EUR (I got mine from sammobile) is the correct one to use and it will restore your tab back to factory settings. I wiped/factory reset after flashing, and restored all my apps and stuff with TitaniumBackup after using zedomax's root and everything's groovy again.:thumb:

Regards,
Steve

As far as I can tell, there isn't one specific to EU countries, you just set the language when setting up for the first time after installing.
I can verify the _EUR one from sammobile works fine.
