Hello everyone. I would like to know why in the Settings / About Phone / Software Information under the heading "Service provider software", in addition to ITV, I also get written the TIM (TIM is the telephone operator from which I took the phone).
The fact is that I downloaded the complete ITV (no-brand) software through the SamFirm program and made a completely clean installation
Why does TIM still appear to me? I want to eliminate it completely from the face of the earth. Is there a way to completely eliminate all kinds of information regarding TIM?
Someone then can you tell me specifically what information is there in the Service Provider Software section?

Hello guys,
First of all Happy new year.
I just got a Samsung Tab and I am learning on it (how to ROM...etc...)
But since it is my first device (android) I would like some help from you
anywhere I can find some tutorials...help ?
what is ROm and what's the difference between ROM and Firmware
what is CSC ? is JPJK2 the latest version ? how ? where ?
thanks a lot.
Pierre
@Pierre. What country are you in, what mobile carrier do you use and what's the sales code on your phone? No one will be able to give you ROM version advice without these basic details.
ROM and firmware are the same thing, people use the names interchangably. The ROM/firmware is the usually seen as the PDA version thats on the device as this is the Android operating system. The devices also have modem software and the CSC (customer specific customisations). The modem code contains drivers for the modem (ie data and voice), WiFi and (afaik) bluetooth. The CSC contains vendor specific applications and mobile network connection details (eg. APN settings).
Have a look around in this forum and in the Samsung Galaxy S forums for tutorials / advice etc and enjoy your Tab!!
If I've given any bad information above, could someone who knows more please feel free to correct me!
I bought my Optimus 7 in the UK, SIM-free, from Expansys. It was shipped from France. MFG tells me my version is LG-E900AT-00-V10a-NLD-XXX-OCT-15-2010
That looks like a Netherlands ROM.
Strangely, the 'Original ROMS' thread, for Netherlands lists a later version:
DZ_LG-E900AT-00-V10b-NLD-XXX-NOV-09-2010+0
So I'm older than 'original'.
Zune doesn't offer any updates (Firmware 1.0.1.12). I'm sure it can tell I'm in the UK so perhaps wont update a 'Dutch' phone?
Does Zune offer firmware updates or only operating system?
I have read nasirahmed's excellent ROM thread, but am uncertain if I should follow that path, or wait (forever?) for Zune.
Getting a WinXP PC with USB 1.1 would be a major pain.
And would I load the NLD V10b ROM, or EUROPE-OPEN, or UK OPEN?
I read there that someone bricked their phone by loading a ROM from a different country.
I'm looking for an update for 2 reasons:
1) the screen response is not great. sometimes (often), I tap a tile. it acknowledges the tap by jiggling but no further response follows.
2) the phone has a tendency to inappropriate landscape mode. this happens most often when I hit the (portrait) home screen tile for Settings. Settings appear in landscape.

I felt your pain, Mark. I bought an unlocked E900 from Amazon DE and hoped that by using the MFG app I could remove the carrier branding in the hope that Zune would update to UK Firmware.
No such luck.
I ended up re-flashing the phone with original European software which then allows the use of the LG Network Setup app.
Incidentally, this does not fix the problems that you mention, as I still had them on the "NoDo" update. Mango has completely cured the problems you mention, even though it's beta software.
I would recommend considering trying that.
Thanks for your comments. I did re-flash from NLD-XXX to GBR-XXX and that resulted in firmware changing from 1.0.1.12 to 1.0.1.10!
Have looked, but not too hard, for info on obtaining Mango but no luck. I'm an MS Action Pack subscriber rather than the full MSDN and it's not available in my downloads.
Hey all
i recently received a gift from Germany - a new S5 SM-G900F .
I've been told that the seller put a local SIM Card in the device and initiated a call for about ~5 minutes,
so it won't be Region Locked.
But when i enter a local sim card from my country, i get a message "Invalid SIM" and a request for network unlock code.
browsing a bit online, i found out that there are paid services to get an unlock code, but for that,
i need to input what network the phone is locked to.
How can i check this?
plus,
is there a free way to get the unlock code, or only the paid ones?
thanks!

How to tell which network my S5 is locked to?

Ask the seller?
There are online vendors that will do a database search to match your IMEI to a provider.
The CSC in the baseband may identify the originatind carrier.
Root your phone and look at the system properties to see what MCC your phone is whitelisted to.
You can find elaboration in the forums. There is a wealth of information in existing threads.

Thank you for the reply.
of course asking the seller seems to be the simple way - but it was bought from an ebay seller in germany, and in the meantime
of waiting for his response, i'm looking for an alternate way.
i'm not really sure what CSC stands for, but the baseband listed in "about" is:
G900FXXU1ANE2
About the MCC part - i've rooted the phone and installed Phoenix rom. i have no idea what MCC stands for
or how to check it.
I'll be grateful if you could direct me.
Thank you

I'm interested too!
How to find if my phone is factory neverlocked or not?
And...how to check if the phone is region lock?
I buy the device from ebay!
Personally, I need help, I can not get my phone to be original (retail), I've already gone to rom 5 times and it only stays on the software channel, since I live in Brazil, it comes with some applications from the TIM operator and does not update to the Nougat, could anyone please help me? (Google Translate).
Try this maybe? RETBR > https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/athene/official/RETBR/
Unfortunately, to no avail, it still continues the timbr on the software channel and installing the carrier's apps.
Hi,
I am experiencing problems trying to use my SIM card in my yotaphone 2 (yd201) after I flashed new firmware onto it (when I bought it it was YD206 and it worked). I live in Slovakia and tried to use different sim cards and also I tried flashing different radio firmwares (EU, HK, CN, ... with android 4 and 5) but all i got every time I turned it on was only emergency calls message. I was unable to connect to a network manually nor automatically.
But heres the thing, I live in the UK as well and everything works well there (with my slovak SIM card).
So my questions are: What was the original YD206 firmware (I didnt note that before flashing yd201) was it HK? I will try to flash YD206 again to see if it works and then reflash with just leaving the radio firmware from the YD206 (whatever firmware that turns out to be).
And second, more thechnical question is: Does anyone now what could be the underlying issue here? The technological cause of the problem? Is it incompatibility of the radio firmwares to work with frequency bands of mobile signal in Slovakia? (unlikely since they seem to be largely the same standards as in UK)
Thanks to anyone who offers his opinion, I wouldnt like to have to throw an amazing smartphone just because the call function doesnt work
Regards
Stefan Rastocky
I thought HK was 201 and 206 CN
Are you positive the CN firmware has the same problem as the HK/EU/RU?
And reboot a few time after updating before considering failure" , when i've updated my 201 to 5.0 it took 2 reboots for the mobile network to "get going"
hi, thanks for your answer
Oh, thanks for the suggestion, I didnt think about rebooting. What I did was just to go to settings and try to register on a network. I will try the firmwares with rebooting tomorrow.
Should the combined EU-RU firmware (its radio part anyway) cover all the wireless signal bands in europe? In other words should I be fairly confident that if I install it, the problem, if any, will not be about radio band compatibility?
Thanks again for the reaction. I will let you know about what comes out of it.
By the way is this a forum about yotaphone 2? Since there is a yotaphone 1 picture and description on the title page.

there is no specific yatophone2 forum , I have a "real" 201 but AFAIK the 206 is CN (china) en you need to china drivers in a EU / RU firmware,
frequencies of both models: https://www.frequencycheck.com/compare-devices/qkjseR/yota-yotaphone-2-yd201/yota-yotaphone-2-yd206
(cannot be changed AFAIK by any firmware update)
freq used in your country/carrier https://willmyphonework.net/
Hi, thank you for the answer. According to the last url you provided I should be able to use a network here. FIY:
https : / / www . frequencycheck . com / compatibility / Zlrtl0 / yota-yotaphone-2-yd201 / slovakia
But I am just not. I have also run out of different radio firmwares to try, so I dont really know what to do now.
Could it be that the phone is somehow locked from connecting to the networks?
Thanks
