I have an x10i that was originally from hong kong and is now being used on rogers.
The phone seems to not be branded, theres no network apps or anything, so why cant I update the firmware? Is this because im using it on rogers?
i got mine from hong kong as well. It is still R1FA014. waiting for R2BA013 which is coming out from SEUS in couples of weeks.
You can get it via software update on the phone itself right?
in general, yes. but so far it is not available yet. some x10 users used the debrand method (instruction shown in other thread) to update to most up-to-date firmware...but i am just waiting for R2BA013...so i dont bother right now....
My phone ain't accepting sim cards anymore so I have to send it back through to T-Mobile UK, does anyone know if I will have to flash back the original t-mobile firmware or should I just leave it?
I have downloaded the Cetus T-Mobile firmware just in case which should suffice I think.
Hi
I have a Three UK branded Note 4 and I'm currently using it on Vodafone. I'm looking at flashing the stock firmware for the UK to debrand the device. Does this process change the radios at all?
The reason I ask is because sometimes I'm seeing loss of mobile data that I can only resolve by toggling flight mode. I'm wondering by flashing stock or indeed Vodafone firmware would help this situation.
Thanks
If it's a newer firmware than the one currently on your device, then it will more than likely contain a newer modem firmware too.
Post back how you get on.
I have a Three Note (although also using Three network) was thinking of rooting/flashing to get rid of some Samsung bloat.
flashed my vodafone handset to BTU stock no problems and yes it does debrand the handset in the process. As for radio's just let it update if needs be better to have the correct radio for the rom version.
Did you find any benefits over the Vodafone branded version? Improved battery life for example?
I have an Galaxy S5 900F on EE but the WiFi calling option is not shown. After talking to EE, because my phone was purchased through a 3rd party (Carphone Warehouse) it doesn't come with EE's firmware. After spending loads of time reading, I understand that I cannot flash EE firmware onto my phone because the PIT is different to my generic one and it will not flash?
Does anyone have an EE PIT or any other option could help me please.
Thanks.

I, and others I've seen on here, have the same problem. Need a fix for this
Suppose in the case I bricked my phone and I don't know the baseband version of it. Now what is the option to recover? Flash stock firmware via Odin but don't know the baseband??? What will happens if I flash another country stock firmware?? Will the phone hard brick?? Or it will work fine?? Thank you
The worst case is that your sim card will not work with that software. This is only if your phone is carrier locked.
If it is unlocked, or neverlocked as others put it, then you can flash any firmware you like, as long as it is for your respective phone model.

Make sure that this phone isn't locked to O2 or any UK carrier.

You should flash Nepal firmware then. It would give you better (more match) CSC code. The CSC (Consumer Software Customization) code contains the info about software packages specific to a particular region, carrier branding and also APN (Access Point Name) settings for data connection.
In my case, my S4 i9500 was made in Vietnam and when I received it, it had a Thailand firmware on it. It is a network unlocked phone. I live in USA. The first lollipop firmware came out was for Russia. So I flahsed the Russian firmware. My CSC showed that it is a russian phone. I used that phone on AT&T network that available in USA, China and Korea, and I had no problem.
Nothing will happen.
@sway8966
Are you really to suggest him to flash Nepali firmware on UK phone? I'll unlock it (the carrier-lock) first and then flash other countries' firmware if need.

Sorry to bump this up but im having problems with my s6 edge (Maybe because of this).
I recently acquired a phone from a relative from UK. The OS is android 7.0 and the carrier is three.co.uk (H3G), we have reset the phone to its factory settings and accidentally didnt noticed that it do auto update on the OS, then this bootloops starts to occur.
The phone isnt network-locked because the phone can receive signals, messages and phone calls on local sim.
Now upon browsing around SamMobile, There is an available Firmware for this mobile and even the firmware which is available to Philippines but only ver. 6.0.1
Is this possible to use the PH one or still i go to UK(h3g)?
