[Q] Is it possible to flash i545 with s9505 firmware

Got my mates phone which he bought in America and in the UK it won't let him send messages. The message centre number section is missing from settings so was going to flash it with the i9505 firmware to see if it fixes it. Anyone know if this works
Edit: sorry made mistake in title. Im looking to flash with i9505 not s9505

[Q] ROM's With Different CSC's?

Hi Guys,
I originally asked this in the ROM's thread, over here
But i didn't get any answer, at all, so i was hoping someone here could clear the questing up for me.
Everything on the Custom CWM Flashable ROM matches my existing software verson apart from the CSC as found by *#1234# .
Will this be OK or will this brick my device? Any help would be really appreciated, i know there's someone out there that can help me out.
All the searching I've done on CSC's just tells me the differences not the consequences.
I live in the UK and i'm on O2, just need to know if the ROM will work?
Thanks in advance!

from my experience about my older samsung devices galaxy tab and note 1 it cause only factory reset your phone but don't know if knox thing change something about csc too.

[Q] SM-N900 (The Americas) Region-Lock

Hello,
I post this thread, helpless finding a solution..I hope it is not a duplicate..
My uncle bought me a SM-N900 Unlocked Note 3 from Bestbuy Florida, USA. He did not touch the phone till he brings it here, Turkey. When he deliver me the phone i could not use it with my Turkish sim card and i was shocked of course.. I searched for solutions on the net and found some answers about it. Here is (actually are) what i did to overcome;
1) Firstly i rooted the phone and tried the Region Lock Away app from Chainfire, unluckily the app doesnt support my model, i found out from the forums (or it was what i understood)
2) Next i communicated with Samsung Turkey and deliver the phone to Technical Support. After 10 days they gave me the phone back telling that they tried a code to unlock it, but it didn't work so they gave back the phone unfixed.
3) I searched for reliable unlocking sites, tried 4 of them but no result. Now i am also coping with refunds..
4) I take the risk and tried custom ROMs hoping that it would help but it also did not solve my problem as i found out that region lock is not a security system that is bound with the firmware..(as my understanding it is a whitelist that is embedded with the baseband (?) (bios?))
5) The last thing i tried was changing the firmware, i removed the TTT (Trinidad&Tobago) firmware and installed Saudi Arabia Firmware.. But no solution..
Now i have a 800$ phone (not even including the extra fees to register the phone in Turkey…) and not working as a phone...HOW NICE!!
Regards,
P.S. HELP MEEEEE!!!! (((

[Q] Looking for 4.2.2 for i9500

Hi all,
I bought my S4 in Thailand, and didn't know it would region lock when I used it with my True Move SIM card. So, I moved back to China, and was vastly unhappy to find I could not use my new phone here.
My phone is 4.3, and upon research, I found I could not unlock my phone in 4.3 as the service mode had been blocked for that, and if I want to unlock it, I need to go back to 4.2.2. I know how to do this, but the problem is that I cannot find 4.2.2. Every link to the file is on hotfile, and hotfile is dead.
Does anyone know where I can find an official version of 4.2.2?
Cheers,
Shawn

just root your phone and put imei remover it will unlock it and you can use your simcard in it, you can find the remover in this website. this happen to me and I did this and my phone is working the only problem is you will need to do this each 4 or 6 monthes. Hope this will help you. Note if you search it in youtube there is a vid will teach you how to do this if you are new about it.

Greetings,
In most countries, it is unlawful to change IMEI. In XDA land, it is forbidden to discuss this process.
