I am signed up with Three UK
I wanna use the band 20 signal but my phone is stuck with band 3..
How can I use band 20? Do I need a custom firmware? can someone help me please!
is there a way to disable band 3? or where can I download custom firmware from Three UK?
Make sure you are on stock btu firmware. no need for custom firmware anymore. make sure on latest update!
Hi Sam what do you mean BTU firmware ? is it the one that came from samsung itself?
Because I bought my phone directly from samsung.. and it says (To USE WITH EUROPE ONLY)

Okay here is my situation. I have a Bell Canda S8500M phone that I flashed with S8500XXKF2_Full_SHP_sYCO firmware but now lost my UMTS 850/1900 bands so no more 3g signal =( I only get edge. I looked all over the web and can not find the S8500M bell canada firmware anywhere!! I found the Latin America firmware S8500L S8500LUHJL1 that i flashed and got my 3G back but Kies wont let me log on to Canada Samsung appstore anymore.
1)Is there a way to flash my phone with a European firmware while maintaining my UMTS 850/1900 bands from my now S8500L?
2) Does anyone have the original Canada s8500M firmwares??
3) Can I flash part of another Euro S8500XX firmware but keep my 3G bands?
4) devs can you implement a North South America 3G friendly hybrid firmware?
Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
1)you can use the European firmware and get 3G signal too by flashing the whole European firmware except amss.bin (contains modem config) use the one from S8500LUHJL1
2) Don't know where to find those
3) if you mean by the bands 3G then it is same question as 1 with same answer
4) i am not a developer so i don't know if they can
Best Regards
Thanks for your response I will give it a shot and see if it works to flash the Euro firmware without the amss.bin.

I flashed the modified S8500DDJI2 on my phone without the amss.bin file and it worked! I still have my 3G connection and hacked firmware!! =) thanks a million!
Has anyone had success doing the above (keeping the amss.bin file to retain phone's frequency band) while flashing with a Bada 1.2 firmware?
I too want to keep my phone (8500T) 850/900/1900/2100 compatibility.
I have tried flashing S8500XXJID (Euro 1.2) while maintaining my S8500L amss.bin on my Canada Bell S8500M and no luck. No go on the 3G on 1.2 BADA for 8500mhz/1900mhz devices. Maybe a DEV can help implement this in a Hybrid 1.2 firmware with those bands supported.
Hi,
I just purchased a Galaxy s5 sm-g9006v. This is the chinese unicon Samsung galaxy s5. It's unlocked.
I have a t-mobile sim. The phone works fine but the only problem is that it's only running 2g speeds! and i've been reading and i think it's a problem with the bands the phone is working on.
I've also been reading about changing the firm-ware modem but I need a little help.
My question :
Can I change the bands that my phone is using to t-mobile compatible bands to run hspa+ or lte or 4g ?
If so, is it as simple as flashing flashing t-mobile firmware from sammobile (sm-g900t) to my phone via odin?
And if I can fix it without having to flash the whole original firmware by just flashing the modem (which is 5mb), where can i get the modem for that firmware and how do I flash it alone ?
Thank you
I bought my GS5 from Canada which means it's set on canadian LTE bands, now I'm trying to use my phone in UK and it doesn't connect to data network, not even HSPA so I was thinking that flashing a UK firmware might solve the problem because I read somewhere that since GS5 runs on Qualcomm its hardware supports all LTE bands by default but I am still afraid that the wrong firmware might brick my device. Can anyone please confirm that information. thx a lot
As long as that firmware is supported by your specific GS5 model this should not be a problem.
I live in South Africa and have flashed many stock firmwares from different countries.
Just a note... you might not have to reflash the entire ROM but merely flash a supported modem/change the csc. Changin the csc does however factory reset your phone.
Yes but a different csc file from the stock rom version will prevent the phone from receiving ota update. Anyway it's not my phone so I won't take any risks and the owner seems to be fine with hspa connection.
Search sammobile.com for the phone model and stock firmware from UK. Just flash that and then you won't have to change the csc

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.

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)?

once i take the firmware from other countries and then i install to my phone,
does my phone will going to operate that firmware even if it come from another country
because i tried to find firmware according to my respective country unfortunately i missed it.
so please i need your assistance ..please
I had bought s7 edge G935P , but I am in India , so for LTE bands to work I have been using the G935U firmware and got all the LTE bands, which Jio Carrier supports in India, but It didnt had the VoLTE Option, as I had seen that T Mobile , they support VoLTE, So, I had flashed the latest G935TUVU4APK1 G935T firmware, but this dosent work on Jio sim. But as this dont work, I badly need to switch back to G935U to get the requird LTE bands work as usual and use global mode on U firmware with no bloat of T Mobile . But Later on when I Tried Flashing the U firmware, It always failed, then when I digged into it found that, the installed T Firmware had Latest Bootloader than U and thus I cant flash back to the U, (maybe some efuse lock/trigger issue) . So, I just need to get back to U , is the answer simply NO? or do I need to wait until I get a latest bootloader update for U Fitmware? Or Any other way to get back to the U firmware? Please Help me... I need this BADLY.
Doubt- Can I use the Latest Bootloader of PK1 and flash the U Firmwares PEH1 , AP, CP and CSC ? would that work, or do any help to get back to U firmware?
Which G935U

Which G935U did you flash? I flashed my T-Mobile S7 Edge with G935TUVU4APK1 G935T to G935UUEU4API3 G935U and it flashed just fine.
