hi, i am totally new to samsung and android and ditched my iphone to get the new edge plus mainly for the gear vr.
however mine is a g9287 which is from hong kong (scammed into it) long story.
anyways i got my gear vr, hooked it up and get network error when trying to run the installer, apparently its because of the hong kong phone ?
is there any way around this at all or is it a case of buying a new uk phone ? i thought maybe change the firmware ? if possible.
thank you
i know its not going to be this simple but i have got to ask, would it be a case of just downloading a uk firmware and flashing it to my phone ?
I'm stuck on the same exact thing as you and I've heard that there's supposed to be an update to use the Gear VR
I'm on a SM-G928W8 running G928W8VLU1AOGD and when I plug in my device, I get nothing. I can use the cursor and the proximity sensor works but no install.

Im living in Mexico City, One month a go, I Bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 device on a Mexican Web Site.
When my device arrived, I notice that this device was made for the Arabic market, but I hadn´t any problem I insert the SIM card, and everything was running ok.

I have exactly the same issue. How did you end up fixing your phone??????
Hi people,
I was given a Samsung S5 SM-G900X live demo unit from a friend, he asked if i could remove the retail side of it and use it as a normal stock S5. After doing some research i have managed to remove the retail app but i am not sure if i can flash it to stock as the 900X is only wifi, no calls or texts, is this correct?
The S5 does have a sim card tray if this helps.
Regards

Basically, I got a galaxy s5 on EE (a uk network) it was all good and fine until it got stolen, whoever took it knew what they were doing as I couldn't track it or look at any location history, they didn't get access to any of my stuff though thanks to my fingerprint but i'll get to the point.
my bank replaced it under home insurance (i wish they didn't) because they gave me a refurbished virgin mobile s5 and i'm with EE. so whenever I reset it on kies it installs all this virgin **** and different APN settings and so on. This has also now stopped me from getting any updates like lollipop, friends that have s5s all have it and i'm stuck on crappy kitkat with disgusting touchwiz. (i came from a nexus 5)
I went on sammobile.com and found an EE firmware (i tried putting a link in but it won't let me)
I tried flashing it and it gets to the last step "HIDDEN.img" and it fails. so from here i'm forced to reset it via kies and it puts all the virgin crap on it. is this because of the virgin csc? and is there any way i can make my phone a completely unlocked phone as if i brought it from samsung or something?
thanks.
So i have an issue that my s3 frontier watch (att branded) cant be used for numbersync with an unlocked s8 that we have.. after hours in chat with att reps, they came to the conclusion that because hd voice doesnt show enabled for the phone, since not att branded.. the solution is to go to a best buy and have the phone (wiped) flashed with the att firmware?
Has anyone done this either at the store or on their own.. is there anyway to avoid wiping the phone.. or maybe some other workaround..
Thanks in advance
Hey guys!
A friend of mine just bought a galaxy S8 in Portugal, and will soon move to Angola, and wants to use it there.
He's done the 5 minute local call, but after it, the device is still not accepting the Angola Sim card.
Any other options to remove it?
Thank you

I had an S7 from China/SE Asia. It worked OK in the US on AT&T as it was, but I wanted a US (universal) firmware. Eventually I could flash a US universal, or leave the phone OS as it was.
To get the region to change to US, I had to flash the correct CSC package. It took me a few tries at finding the correct CSC, as the CSC had to match the version of the OS (version/number wise, not region wise).
For S8's I can't remember about the issue of minutes or when that criteria became included with the S8's system.
