Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
Flashing Samsung firmware with Odin is a straightforward process once you understand the requirements. This page contains the correct firmware file for the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220, the appropriate Odin version, and the steps to complete the installation.
Before you begin, remove any Samsung account from the device. If you skip this step, the Knox security feature will trigger, resulting in a KG lock that requires additional tools to resolve. Samsung firmware packages are distributed as .tar.md5 files. After extracting the ZIP archive, you will find files labeled AP_*, BL_*, CP_*, and CSC_* (or HOME_CSC_*). If these files are not present, you have the wrong package.
The Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 was released in 2011. On newer Windows versions, you may need to manually install the USB drivers rather than relying on automatic detection. Only one firmware build is currently available for this model. This stock ROM is suitable for recovery, unbricking, or bypassing the FRP lock. Samsung devices use Odin for installation, which is the same tool used by service centers.
This firmware was sourced from verified repositories and checked for integrity. The Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 launched in 2011. This page is updated whenever new builds become available.
The firmware for the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 is a compressed ZIP file. Download and extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip. You should see files named AP_*.tar.md5, BL_*.tar.md5, CP_*.tar.md5, and CSC_*.tar.md5 (or HOME_CSC_*.tar.md5). If you do not see these files, you have likely downloaded the wrong firmware package.
Keep in mind that flashing stock firmware wipes all data. This is intentional and resolves software issues such as FRP locks, application errors, slow performance, forgotten patterns, a device stuck on the logo, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth malfunctions, battery drain, and soft brick situations.
FRP Removal for Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220
The fastest method to bypass the FRP lock on the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 involves using a free Android apps launcher that allows access to settings during the setup wizard. If you encounter a Google account lock after flashing or resetting, our free Android apps launcher can help. This is why it is essential to remove your Google account before flashing to avoid this issue entirely.
Hard Reset Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220
To factory reset the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 without a computer, power the device off completely. Hold Volume Up + Power (or Volume Up + Home + Power for older models) until the recovery menu appears. Use the volume keys to select “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” and confirm with the Power button.
A hard reset restores the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 to its original factory state. This fixes most software problems, including slow performance, app crashes, forgotten locks, and bootloops. If the issue persists after a factory reset, a full firmware flash using Odin is covered in the following sections.
Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 Firmware Compatibility Check
The most frequent error users make is flashing firmware meant for a different variant. Before downloading, verify your exact device identity:
- Identify Your Exact Model Number: Go to Settings › About Phone and note your full model number (e.g. GT-I9220). The letter suffix matters, U/U1 = USA, W = Canada, N = Korea, B/F = International/Global. Flashing firmware built for a different variant can cause issues.
- Match the CSC (Region): The 3-letter region code in the firmware filename must match your device. Check Settings › About Phone › Software Information for your current CSC, or look at the Service Provider line in Download Mode. Common codes: XAA (US), BTU (UK), INS (India), SER (Russia).
- Check the Binary Level: Look at the version string in your current firmware (e.g.
XXU9BZDP, the number after the letters is the binary level). You cannot downgrade to a lower binary level. If your device is on Binary 9, only flash Binary 9 or higher firmware. - Confirm the Build Date: The last 4 characters of the PDA version encode the build date, first character is the year (A=2024, B=2025, C=2026), second is the month (A=Jan through L=Dec).
- Verify in Download Mode: Power off, hold Volume Down + Power to enter Download Mode. This screen shows your exact model, CSC, and current firmware version, use this to confirm before flashing.

Which Firmware Version Should I Download?
This is the most common question, so use the table below to find the correct file for your situation:
| Your Situation | What I Recommend |
|---|---|
| Phone is completely dead or stuck on logo | the latest version, download this one. It is the latest Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 firmware available. |
| FRP / Google account lock only | See the FRP bypass guide above, you likely do not need the full firmware for this. |
| Not sure which region/CSC to download | Check Settings › About Phone › Software Information for your current CSC, or enter Download Mode (Volume Down + Power), it shows the CSC on screen. Match the 3-letter code (e.g. XAA, BTU, INS) to the firmware filename. |
| Phone slow after a recent OTA update | Try the next older version, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. Make sure the binary level is the same or higher than what your device currently has. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash the latest version first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| the latest version failed with a flash error | Try the next older version instead and double-check your AP/BL/CP/CSC file assignments in Odin before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | the latest version, clean state, fresh start. |
To tell which Samsung firmware is newer, look at the last 4 characters of the PDA version string (e.g. S938BXXU9CZDP). The first character is the year (A=2024, B=2025, C=2026), the second is the month (A=Jan, B=Feb… L=Dec, Z=final stable), and the last two are the revision (0-9 then A-Z, where Z is highest). But before comparing dates, always check the binary level: the digit just before the date code (e.g. XXU9CZDP = Binary 9). You cannot downgrade to a lower binary level. If your device is on Binary 9, only flash Binary 9 or higher. Also make sure the 3-letter CSC code in the firmware matches your device region.

Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 Flash Setup Checklist
Go through this list before you open Odin for the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220. Two things that commonly cause problems with Samsung devices: a Samsung account that was not signed out before flashing, which can trigger KG lock, and a USB cable that works for charging but drops the connection mid-flash. Always use a proper data cable, not a charge-only cable.
- Back Up IMEI Numbers: Dial *#06# and write down both IMEI numbers now. You will need these if you need to restore your IMEI after flashing.
- Remove Google Accounts: Sign out of all Google accounts to prevent FRP lock after flashing.
- Remove Samsung Accounts: Sign out of all Samsung accounts to avoid KG lock.
- Back Up Your Data: Back up everything, photos, contacts, WhatsApp chats, important files. Flashing wipes the device completely.
- Charge Your Device: At least 50% battery. A device that powers off during a flash is very difficult to recover.
- USB Cable & PC: Use a proper data USB cable, not a charge-only cable, and a Windows computer with available USB ports.
- Install Required Drivers:
Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 Firmware Installation Guide
We are using Odin for this. A quick tip: keep “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” both checked in Odin, those two options together give you the cleanest flash result. If you are not sure which Odin version to use, check our Odin versions page. Some older Samsung devices work better with older Odin builds.
- Download and Unpack:
- Pick the correct firmware version from the downloads above and save it to your PC.
- Extract the ZIP file. If the extracted folder contains another ZIP inside, extract that one too. You should end up with the actual firmware files, not another archive.
- Driver Check:
- Double-check that you have installed the required drivers. A missing driver is the most common reason the flash tool cannot detect your phone. Reboot your PC after installing.
- Load the Firmware File:
- In Odin, click “BL” and select the BL_*.tar.md5 file. Click “AP” and select the AP_*.tar.md5 file. Repeat for “CP” and “CSC”. Use HOME_CSC to keep data, or CSC for a clean flash.
- Connect Your Device:
- Enter Download Mode: Turn off your phone, then hold Volume Down + Power (add Home button on older models) until the warning screen appears. Press Volume Up to confirm and enter Download Mode.
- Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Odin should show “Added..” in the log area, this means your device is detected.
- Start Flashing:
- Start the flash by clicking “Start”.
- Leave everything untouched until completion. Even bumping the USB cable can interrupt the write and cause a failed flash.
- Wait and Reboot:
- The flash is complete when the tool shows a success indicator. Disconnect your phone.
- Turn the phone on. Do not worry if it sits on the boot logo for several minutes, the system is rebuilding itself from scratch.

What to Do if Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 Flash Fails
- Odin Shows “FAIL” Instead of “PASS”:
- This is usually a mismatch between the firmware region or model and your device. Confirm your exact model number in Settings › About Phone before selecting the firmware. Even a single letter difference in the model code matters.
- Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 Not Recognized by Odin:
- Reinstall the Samsung USB drivers. Make sure you are in Download Mode. Try a different USB cable, Odin can be sensitive to cable quality.
- KG Lock / Knox Triggered After Flashing:
- This happens when a Samsung account was still signed in before flashing, or when unofficial firmware was used. Always sign out of Samsung accounts before flashing. If KG lock is already active, a professional unlocking tool is generally needed.
- Boot Loop After Flashing:
- Enter recovery mode (Volume Up + Power) and perform a factory reset. This clears any leftover data from the previous firmware that may be causing the conflict.
What to Expect After Flashing
Here is what is completely normal after a successful flash:
- How to know the flash was successful: Odin will show “PASS.” in green text at the top-left of the log area. If you see this, everything went fine.
- Battery percentage may seem inaccurate for the first day. The battery statistics are calibrated during normal use. Charge the phone fully once without interruption and the readings will stabilize.
- Fingerprint and face unlock data are erased during the flash. You will need to re-register your fingerprints and face data from scratch in the security settings.
- Storage will show almost full capacity available since all your apps and files are gone. The system partition size varies by firmware version but is typically 4 to 8 GB on most devices.
- Stuck in a bootloop after first boot? Enter recovery mode and do a factory reset from there, see the hard reset guide above. This can happen occasionally and does not mean the firmware is wrong.
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile data should all work right after setup. If mobile data is not connecting, go to Settings, SIM and Network, and re-enter your APN manually, the flash sometimes clears carrier APN settings.
- Dial *#06# immediately after setup to check your IMEI. Do this before you insert a SIM card. If it shows “unknown” or “null”, follow the IMEI repair guide below before doing anything else.
Missing IMEI or Corrupt Baseband on Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 After Flashing?
A missing IMEI on a Samsung device after flashing usually points to a corrupted EFS partition, this is the partition that stores your IMEI and carrier settings. Note that restoring an IMEI that is not your original number is illegal in most countries, so only do this if you are restoring the number the device had before you flashed. Tools like ChimeraTool or BFT can help with this. Check your local laws before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Will flashing erase my data?
A: Yes, flashing with Odin restores the device to factory state, including Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread), upgradable to 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) default settings. All apps, photos, contacts, and accounts will be removed. Back up everything you need before you start. There is no way to recover data once the flash is complete.
Q2: Can I flash this firmware if my phone does not turn on at all?
A: Yes, in most cases. Samsung devices can usually enter Download Mode even when the screen is completely dead, hold Volume Down + Power for 10 seconds. If the battery is completely drained, charge it for at least 15 minutes first.
Q3: What should I do if I encounter an FRP lock after flashing?
A: Use our free Android apps launcher. FRP lock activates when a Google account was still signed in before flashing. This is why signing out of your Google account before flashing avoids this issue entirely.
Q4: How long does the flashing process take?
A: The actual flash usually takes between 3 and 10 minutes depending on the firmware size and USB connection speed. The first boot after flashing takes another 3 to 8 minutes. Do not interrupt the device during either stage. If the progress bar in Odin appears stuck, give it a few more minutes before assuming something went wrong.
Q5: Is this firmware compatible with other Samsung models?
A: No. This firmware is built specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 GT-I9220 running on the Exynos 4210 Dual chipset. Even variants of the Galaxy Note N7000 with a different letter suffix can have a completely different chipset inside. Flashing the wrong firmware can leave your phone in a state that is very difficult to recover from. Always check your exact model number in Settings.
Q6: Will flashing void my warranty?
A: Flashing official stock firmware generally does not void your warranty since you are restoring the device to its factory-intended state. However, some manufacturers may flag that the bootloader was unlocked or that the flash counter increased. Check your specific warranty terms with Samsung support if you are concerned.
Q7: Is it safe to flash during a power outage risk?
A: It is best to avoid flashing during unstable power conditions. If your PC shuts down during the flash, it can corrupt the write and leave the phone in an unbootable state. If you are in an area with unreliable power, use a laptop with a fully charged battery instead of a desktop.
Q8: What if the flash fails halfway through?
A: Do not panic and do not disconnect the phone. Close Odin, restart it, and try the flash again from the beginning. In most cases, a failed flash just means the process needs to be repeated. The device is usually still detectable by the flash tool even after a failed attempt.
