Just wondering i bought this GT and it apparently came straight from Samsung.
I see some stock roms but if i wanted to restore to stock would this be the rom version i look for ? im coming from HTC lol this is new to me. i have not rooted yet, when i do i do a backup but its nice to have the oem rom file te restore
i have a P1000N model with nam bands and phone voice.
Hey guys , I'm a new member to xda please don't mind if I'm asking this is the wrong form but I recently bought a Samsung focus from eBay it was unlocked (not factory unlocked)
....
As for the SGS 2 there is an app that finds the unlock code in your device
.....
So I was wondering if there is something like this to find the unlock code (of already unlocked Samsung Focus) in the device

No such thing, mate.
Your phone should stay unlocked as long as you don't lock it yourself in Diagnosis.
Q
So if it's unlocked with unlock code and not factory will it stay unlocked if I let's say update it to windows phone mango ??
yes even i would like to know this. after we update it to mango, will it still be unlocked or will get locked?
Folks, please use the search before asking.
I've answered it in too many threads already, for example here.
Hey Guys,
I have a BELL Samsung G5 - G900W8 locked to BELL running CyanogenMOD 12 custom ROM... I seen posts from a year or so back saying that at that point in time you CANNOT unlock your SIM service for any other carrier. Just wondering if this still is the case....
I have my phone customized the way I like it, so I do not want to flash back to a stock ROM and have to do the process all over again (Unless there is a way to save my current ROM, run a STOCK ROM in the background to put in the UNLOCK CODE (IF THIS IS EVEN POSSIBLE))....
Lets see if I can get some good news today!
Thanks in advance
best bet i'd say, buy your unlock code then try it with while under your current rom, if it doesn't work, you surely can backup your rom and flash a stock rom to do it then restore your custom rom.
We have all got the hot news that the HTC m8 T mobile version is getting the long awaited Nougat update!!!!!! But that's for only T mobile users,,What about us with unlocked versions,,can anyone port the ROM from T Mobile HTC one M8 to our international versions please???? Thanks
It was a (horrible) mistake, there is no Nougat for the T-Mob M8: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/breaking-htc-one-m8-is-getting-android-7-0-nougat-update-t-mobile-will-be-rolling-it-out-soon/
If it were true, are you asking if it's possible to port a T-Mob ROM to other versions? If that is the question, then yes it would not be that hard to do.
If you are requesting someone do it, such requests do go over well on XDA; and typically don't get much response. Basically, devs don't want everyone constantly nagging them to do things, or when a ROM is coming (if they have admitted to working on it).
It's a mistake.
HTC one A9 got nougat update today.
Maybe there will be a port or maybe not.
Hello Techies
On Christmas Day My Redmi 3S Prime gave up the ghost , the Mobile radio refuses to latch onto a 4G Network and can only reliably make a call when a GSM network is selected . This seems a pretty common bug , though I have scoured the solutions ( which seem to work for others ) ; swapping to multiple sims/providers , manually setting APM and Factory Reset , though the phone barely connects to 2G/ Edge Technology . This is a huge inconvenience as I use the phone for both business and personal life - not being able to use it is a royal pain in the ass .
I have contacted Xiaomi who recommend flashing to the official developer ROM Version: 7.12.21 (MIUI9) . I currently have latest MUI Global ROM (8.5) I have tried updating (downgrading ) to an earlier build (8.1) - using the 'upgrade' app on the phone , however this would not work , the device said it could not update to an earlier build . However I will try the developer ROM next , which I guess should work ?
The other option was the fastboot upgrade , which allegedly allows the phone to downgrade to a previous version ( I wanted a stable ROM , I dont really need Dev ROM ) . However the instructions are extremely vague and were written in a different environment (for earlier MUI builds and WIndows 7 ) . When following the official 'Fastboot' flash guide , it transpired that 'download mode' did not work with MUI 8.5 - so it seems the guide is irrelevant
Bottom line currently I am lost on what to do next . I will try the DEV ROM and see how that goes I guess .
After some reading , I am of the understanding that my Bootloader is locked ? I had purchased the phone with the official Global MUI rom installed and have only updated it with OTA official updates previously . I did not want to unlock the bootloader as my banking app (Barclays ) will not install on unlocked devices. I understand unlocking the bootloader also roots the phone .

Try flashing the phone in edl mode. I don't think it needs bootloader to be unlocked to do that.
For procedure you can refer Google
Update:
I did manage to update to MUI global 7.12.21 Beta using the Stock updater app . However this did not fix the issue , the phone still connects just with GSM and Edge Networks . I tried all of the existing configuration solutions after the update , which also did not resolve the issue .
I also contacted the Xiaomi Outlet on Aliexpress , they suggest that I unlock the bootloader , as per the email they had sent me

My gut feeling is that this is a hardware issue , it seems as though the radio reciever has burned out . I have already flashed with the native app . Is it worth trying to unlock the bootloader and reflash another rom ?
I dont want to waste any more time on this , any suggestions or thoughts on this are appreciated
So the reseller is asking me to unlock the phone though the Mii Unlock App , then flash it .
How can this make the 4G radio come to life ?

If you really feel it's a hardware issue, then it's recommended to claim the warranty or replace. I'd suggest you not to go with bootloader unlocking at this stage

Hello
OK I made some progress , I changed the sim Card to an O2 Network Sim which works perfectly . I had tried exhausted all other practicable solution given including the above . This doesn't explain why the phone stopped working with all EE network providers ( tried Virgin , EE, Plusnet ) .
http://en.miui.com/thread-1429676-1-1.html
How can I find out which bands a sim card provider is using ( Live Information ) . I have tried to research this but bands have changed over the years , so not sure which provider is using which band . I wanted to determine which bands the phone will currently work on .
