Hi all.
I plan to get the fido gs4; I want to unlock it (if need be), flash the BTU-I9505XXUAMDF stock rom and then root it.
I plan to do this with odin.
Now my question is, dose anyone foresee any redundancies or problems with my endeavours?
Thanks in advance.
No xd
hey there !
my cousin got a few weeks ago a smg-900v from a friend from the states (we live in Israel), and he suffers from a lot of problems with the verizon rom.
few questions :
is there any "clean" rom for this phone - without verizon apps, that I can flash with ODIN on his device ?
is there a way to get rid of all of the annoying "ROAMING" warnings / 2 clocks (roaming + "local) on lock screen ? I mean, is there a rom "clean" from any "memory" of verizon, that will let his device act like a non-branded device, at least with everything related to carrier ?
basically he's looking for a rom as close as possible to samsung rom, just without all of the problems caused from the fact the device is in origin from Verizon ...
thanks a lot in advance, really appreciate the help !
First off get root access (if you don't know what that is do a LONG search).....then get a good root browser or (I prefer) titanium back up pro. Find all the Verizon apps and delete them right quick. You can get rid of all the Verizon stuff yourself without having to find a de-bloated custom rom
Hey,
thanks for your reply. but what about getting rid of all the roaming messages / warnings ?
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.
Thank you everybody in advance for the help you may provide.
Please could you help me to understand if i can fix my scl23?
This is the thing.
I got myself a KDI au gs5 scl23 with kitkat 4.4 and as i understand its rooted with a custon recovery, beacaus of the sim unlock, and the recovery its in japanese.
The phone works fine, but when i try to use it on ultra saving mode, its says that it`s samsung account isnt activated and doesnt allow me to change it(in the settings of the phone there isnt a way to change samsung account). So it bugs on that samsung account, and doesnt allow me to use internet and the keyboard when im on the ultra saving mode. By the way i live in Argentina and cant find anyone who speaks Japanese.
So, Trying to fix this samsung account problem i upgraded to lollipop 5.0, but it lock the phone and it doesnt get any antena signal, its says insert a sim, but there is no "no sim" mesage on the mesage board.
And now im dowloading the 4.4 firmaware files to downgrade it to 4.4 and to unlock it whith service menu commands.
Have anyone been able to unlock it with service menu on lollipop, or in any other way? Beacuase lollipop fixes the samsung account problem but olso locks the phone and installs custom AU rom, only in japanese or english laguage.
Thank you very much to everyone.
same here
This is the same thing that happened to me, did you manage to revert back and unlock the simlock on 5.0? Any luck upgrading to 5.0 and using your sim with the device.
cheers

Ended up downloading the 4.4 rom for phone again, installing that. Had to clear cache and do factory data clear to get phone booting again after downgrading. Then I was able to complete the Sim Unlock steps outlined here

Super frustrating using a phone like this, as it has so much bloatware from Japan which I just want to get rid of. But up and running now, with several replacement mods for keyboard, messenger etc
A lot of information out there, thank you internet and forums like this one for having so much information to get things working again. :victory:
Hey guys!
Recently came home from Japan and since I bought a Galaxy S5 there with the operator AU, supposedly a SM-G900J but having the model name SCL23 there, and would like to use it here in Sweden.
I started off with downloading Odin and flashing the oldest firmware I could find for the phone at Sammobile. I then used this guide here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f777/samsung-galaxy-s5-scl23-unlock-guide-1886172/ and actually managed to unlock my phone. Seems to be working fine making calls and using LTE. Although from that I can digest the hack seem to be tricking the phone that it is roaming. Since I could not enter the Network menu at all with my Swedish SIM inserted it is quite useful anyway.
It kinda sucks being stuck at the oldest firmware though, and I believe flashing to original operator Lollipop 5.0 will remove the unlock hack. Will try in a little bit.
Anyway, I don't care about warranty or anthing so my phone can become Knox 0x1 for all I care. So, can I root it with towelroot and try to flash any custom ROM on it? Or will this brick the phone since it is some kind of special Japanese version? And will a custom ROM be operator unlocked?
Thanks!
Well, I managed to fix everything on my own and everything seems to work excellent with Lollipop OS, operator applications cleaned and operator lock unlocked.

Use this guide and flash the BNG3-firmware and TWRP recovery with Odin. Then install the custom ROM in recovery.
I might add that I did first use this unlock guide in the original ROM and also rooted with SuperSU before flashing the custom ROM. I'm not sure these two steps were necessary though.

Hi! I'm currently waiting for my scl23 to arrive and planning on unlocking and upgrading to lollipop. I came across this post and want to thank you. I will be trying to do the procedures here once i get the phone. I'm hoping you camn help me if ever a problem arises.
note that u can't use finger scan and dock-charging with this rom, though
I used the stock rom for unlocking and root following instructions from that vietnamese link. Then just TiBU to remove the bloatware. Everything works okay for now. Thanks!
