(CHINA) SM-G9250 Owners' Thread

Hi All,
Just picked up my shiny new Gold SM-G9250, and I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread for all of us who own it! Phone has already updated to baseband G9250ZCU1A0D3, and seems to be running very smoothly so far!
Being a Chinese version, there's no Google Services on the phone, so would be curious if anyone has managed to root their phone and get GApps on there yet.
Hope you're all enjoying your phones!
:good:

Hi man!
I'm looking for a green S6 Edge and the only variant that has this color available is the G9250.
So, does it dual sim? or single sim? Does it have any logo on the back saying it is Dual?
Thank you

It's a single sim phone, I'm afraid.

Why are you afraid?
Can you post some pics of your device?

as in 'I'm sorry it isn't Dual Sim.'

Any of you having the low bright and dimming essues ? My s6 edge gets waaay brighter but only outside.... auto or not auto still brightness problems.. software or hardware essues?

I haven't noticed anything yet, but I have mainly been using it indoors - only took it outside for a short while yesterday.
I'm out and about today, so I'll keep an eye on it and post later with what I find.
Still trying to track down root/recovery for this firmware if anyone has been successful? There was a page based on the phone's original firmware, but not sure whether to risk it.

I'm rooted used odin

Nice!
Could you direct me to a link for the files you used?

iGordy101, how did you unlock your SM-G9250? Did it come unlocked?
To the other G9250 users, the Taiwan version of the the G9250 comes with Gapps installed, perhaps there is someway to load it onto there?
Based on model numbers released so far, it looks like only the regular S6 will have dual sim option, but only for limited bands.

Oh Guys! Not sure about the different regions, but the members on MOBILE01 found that 'crom service' in Samsung Apps is the factory bootloader unlock! I just unlocked my bootloader, ROOT, HERE I COME!
---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------
I'm So EXCITED! Samsung provides factory bootloader unlocking!
I posted the details here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...o-bootloader-unlock-s6-edge-sm-g9250-t3086325

Just a quick update.
I also found the CROM service post, unlocked and rooted my Edge. However, the recovery seems to not have taken properly (I'm getting the dm-verity verification failed error when I try to flash a zip or reset the phone). Phone still works fine, but I'm still that elusive step away from getting Gapps running on it!
Haven't had any problems at all with the auto-brightness bug that I can see - perhaps it's a handset issue thing? I'm just waiting for the firmware to appear on Sammobile so I can reflash it and try doing the recovery thing from scratch.
Keep the post updated if any of you have luck getting a working recovery/Gapps on the phone!
Cheers!

How were you able to use the app? My app force closes.
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Premium HD app

I didn't have any problem - found the app on the store, downloaded, it opened and unlocked without issue (and very quickly). I'm model SM-G9250, so it could be because of that.

Anyone had any luck yet finding a fully-working recovery for the AOD3 build? Or any other method of getting Gapps on the phone?

Hong Kong version G9250 , everything is unlocked , single sim and comes with google services. On AOD5 now

That's interesting - is it ok to flash firmwares of different regions between phones of the same model number? HK firmware flashed to a mainland phone for example?

i would also like to know this and if so, how to do it

Apparently it's ok to flash firmware to different regions, but it will break OTA as the CSC codes don't match up.
I've been checking the Chinese message boards, but there isn't currently a working root/recovery for the AOD3 build. Hopefully, some clever person out there can help out with this, as it's way beyond me!

I gave it a try with the HK firmware - didn't work, and soft-bricked phone. Had to flash the original software again. Wouldn't suggest anyone else tries, just in case.
I'm sure the proper files will pop up online soon - no need to rush!

can someone explain the simplest way to get google apps?
ive unlocked the phone using crom, so what is the next step to get google play?
is the simplest method rooting it? Is there a method that works without messing up the phone?

[SOLVED] Anyone has the stock rom for Huawei P8 lite? Enable dual sim P8lite.

Hello, i need the stock rom for Huawei P8 lite because in my country the carrier sells the phone with the second sim disabled from rom software.
I just need the stock rom to replace it.
Thx in advance.
//Edit:
How to enable dual sim:
1. Download ROM: https://mega.co.nz/#!rcFDzZSa!V1zxHlmSqIvhF1_FjIOsyu762s8ZURmYDRtxcQeDyI0
2. Read the instructions in the archive which you have downloaded. Pay attention!!! You must flash the second file also - that enables dual sim.
3 If u followed the instructions corectly u should have dual sim.
Many thanks to @kjartandi !!!
Official downloads if anyone needs it: consumer.huawei.com/at/mobile-phones/support/downloads/p8lite-at.htm

Here are the official downloads
official downloads: consumer.huawei.com/at/mobile-phones/support/downloads/p8lite-at.htm
@kjartandi does this rom is for dual sim version of the phone? because i need the stock rom which has the dual sim integration. my phone comes from the carrier with single sim rom software
Is your p8lite dual sim? Did you test it with nano and micro sim?
Thx in advance.

Hi! Yes, when you flash the files in the Step2 folder, it should enable the dual sim!

theoretically yes beacause all p8lite are dual sim by manufacturer

hello. i followed the same steps and the results are following:
-P8Lite Orange RO, single sim so called variant
-Flashed the ROM via tutorial, Step1 and then Step2.
- ROM has now dual card(sim) management enabled. Upon start it requieres 2 PIN's, each for every sim.
Only SIM1 has signal, sim2 has absolute no signal. When sim1 is disabled from dualcard management only then sim2 has signal. did a reset, started from scratch, same story.
is there any way to resolve this. to make it completely Dual Sim Full Active, as it should be from Huawei. The Huawei P8lite codename is ALE-L21. No other variant.
from huawei site i could not download any ROM.

OP, I'm glad you got it fixed. Continuing this thread in XDA Assist is not the appropriate place. However you've found a solution for your device that can help others so I'm going to ask a moderator to move this thread here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help.

I've seen the same problem reported here:
htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1016301&page=7
The user fixed the problem flashing the spanish firmware.
I've downloaded both firmwares (MEGA and Espana). The only difference is in the "step2" folder (it doesn't exists in Spanish firmware). Step1 folder IS THE SAME.
So, in my opinion you shuld try to flash only the "Step1" folder and check if all is ok.
Let us know if this fixes your problem

Afew days ago I bought one from Vodafone in Greece which was branded and thus it supported only one sim card. I just flashed the official B046 firmware and the phone now is dual sim. Of course it is nοt Dual Sim Active as very few and expensive phones are. It's a regular Dual Sim Standby phone which disactivates reception on one while on a call on the other. Don't flash the "Spanish" firmware. I did, a week ago, and I ended up with a phone that thought that it had firmware B311 and that it was a different model. I couldn't even do a hard reset! I then downloaded the Mega firmware, flashed Step 2 first, then Step 1, then Step 2 again and then I did a hard reset. Now the phone works brilliantly.

i have flashed the spanish firmware. same story. only one sim at a time has signal. at one point both did not have signal, kinda paniked. the spanish firmare allowed me a reset and the data about phone and firmware was same B046.
I am trying now to do step2, then step1, then step2 again than a reset. hopefully it will bring something

They probably rectified the problem and they are now offering the correct firmware for downloading.

no succes.
so... i have no other idea.
i have used the Mega download with 2 steps. i have used the spanish firmware. all of them have the same build number.
everything goes smooth while "upgrading" via sdcard.
i do not know what to try. it is interesting that i have signal on sim2 only after i disable sim1. when sim2 has 4g data enabled then both sims do not have any signal

i have downloaded all available firmwares. i even downgraded to b041 from b046b. SIM1 has signal, sim2 has no signal. when one is deactivated , the other one has signal.
i did a hard reset every time after the flash. No success! can anybody with more knowledge on this investigate and help.

Your sims supports 2G? Because when you enable all the 2 SIMS, the second one goes in 2G.
For example, in my case (H3G Italy), I can't use my SIM in 2G, so if I enable the 2-SIM mode, the second sim has no signal.
I must use (as second SIM) another operator which supports 2G mode.

i used the same sims in another p8lite(dual sim from the store). it is not the sims

Dear Admin, please mark issue as Unsolved.
i have tried 5different sims. just to be sure. same issue.
i have flashed again the Firmware from Mega file. step 1(b046b) and step 2. no resolution.
i have downloaded from huawei 3 firmwares. one called open market(b046b), one marketspecific(b046b), one from malaesia(b311). flashed them all, same issue.
Phone works great, yet it is a shame i can not use it as Huawei designed it(aka dual sim full active, signal on both sims simultaneosly)
there are P8Lites , like mine, with vendor specific firmware, where the second sim is disabled. there are users who managed to free the sim2 slot without any issue yet there are users who could not do that. what exactly did the vendors do is unknow for now and we need a dev for a custom rom.
please take a look!
ps: there are users who say that the latest OTA update(b052) brings signal to sim2, but it is not confirmed by many

Only a clarification: P8 Lite IS NOT DUAL SIM FULL ACTIVE, it is Dual Sim Dual Standby: the 2 Sims works concurrently, but when you receive a call on one sim, the other goes offline.

Some advice on "upgrading" my ALE-L02

Hi guys,
I'm a little noob with geek stuff but still I like to do it by myself.
Story: I went abroad for a six months trip and I bought a P8 lite in Japan (Soft bank carrier). The model is a ALE-L02-C111B210 (single sim) and from my search on the forum, I understand that it is the same as L21 except LTE frequencies may not work. I have different ideas but I'd like to check before doing anything stupid (which I am )
The phone has a lot of japanese crappy apps that I cannot uninstall and no updates are provided by this carrier. That why I want to root it and debrand it.
1- When I put my european simcard, it ask me for a network unlock code. I cannot get it from the carrier because my account was closed and they don't want to hear anything. I then found website who can give me a "generic" unlock code for this device against 10€. Before paying for a code, I'd like to know if rooting the phone and puting a custom/unbrand rom, it will also unlock the network or not. I compare to my old iphone who can be unlocked once rooted
2- I read a LOT of threds about L21 and several people with the L02 used the video for RootJunky who give all required files included a firmware file but an old one I think (V100R001C636B120).
Can replace it with one I got from huawei website but following the same procedure ? for instance : HUAWEI P8 Lite Firmware(ALE-L21, Andriod 6.0, EMUI 4.0, C432B565, Austria, Single SIM, Channel-Others)
3- dumb question. what's the stock rom for ? because it is only 34Mb on the RootJunky repository
Thanks a lot for any help/answer

1) Which website? Are you sure it is safe? Don't give credit card information on such sites without confirmation. Iphone rooted?Iphone can be unlock and jail break but remember root is different from jailbreaking.
2) You may flash other country firmware. It's no big deal. But you may need to unlock bootloader.
3) stock rom is the default rom that phone comes with. Its size is usually above 1GB. 34MB can't be stock rom.

Phone not fully working ( No mobile data ) , Xiaomi Recommend a Re-flash

Hello Techies
On Christmas Day My Redmi 3S Prime gave up the ghost , the Mobile radio refuses to latch onto a 4G Network and can only reliably make a call when a GSM network is selected . This seems a pretty common bug , though I have scoured the solutions ( which seem to work for others ) ; swapping to multiple sims/providers , manually setting APM and Factory Reset , though the phone barely connects to 2G/ Edge Technology . This is a huge inconvenience as I use the phone for both business and personal life - not being able to use it is a royal pain in the ass .
I have contacted Xiaomi who recommend flashing to the official developer ROM Version: 7.12.21 (MIUI9) . I currently have latest MUI Global ROM (8.5) I have tried updating (downgrading ) to an earlier build (8.1) - using the 'upgrade' app on the phone , however this would not work , the device said it could not update to an earlier build . However I will try the developer ROM next , which I guess should work ?
The other option was the fastboot upgrade , which allegedly allows the phone to downgrade to a previous version ( I wanted a stable ROM , I dont really need Dev ROM ) . However the instructions are extremely vague and were written in a different environment (for earlier MUI builds and WIndows 7 ) . When following the official 'Fastboot' flash guide , it transpired that 'download mode' did not work with MUI 8.5 - so it seems the guide is irrelevant
Bottom line currently I am lost on what to do next . I will try the DEV ROM and see how that goes I guess .

After some reading , I am of the understanding that my Bootloader is locked ? I had purchased the phone with the official Global MUI rom installed and have only updated it with OTA official updates previously . I did not want to unlock the bootloader as my banking app (Barclays ) will not install on unlocked devices. I understand unlocking the bootloader also roots the phone .

Try flashing the phone in edl mode. I don't think it needs bootloader to be unlocked to do that.
For procedure you can refer Google

Update:
I did manage to update to MUI global 7.12.21 Beta using the Stock updater app . However this did not fix the issue , the phone still connects just with GSM and Edge Networks . I tried all of the existing configuration solutions after the update , which also did not resolve the issue .
I also contacted the Xiaomi Outlet on Aliexpress , they suggest that I unlock the bootloader , as per the email they had sent me
Thanks for telling us the troubles you met. Do not worry. We are here to help you.
Sorry to tell you, the phone you ordered has out of the 6 months free repair warranty.
Please try the suggestions below to try to fix the problem by yourself.
1. pls do Reset of the APN in Settings-Mobile Network-Choose the SIM card-Access Point Names-Reset to default
2. Reset the phone (Please copy your data before you doing this step)
3 download the Develop ROM of your cellphone from http://en.miui.com/download.html, and then transfer this ROM pack the folder ‘downloaded_rom’, then go to Updater APP click the button on the right top corner then choose option “Choose Update Package”, click the develop ROM you just download and wait for the system update succeed
4. If the 2 suggestions above can’t fix the problem,please unlock the phone and then flash it.

My gut feeling is that this is a hardware issue , it seems as though the radio reciever has burned out . I have already flashed with the native app . Is it worth trying to unlock the bootloader and reflash another rom ?
I dont want to waste any more time on this , any suggestions or thoughts on this are appreciated

So the reseller is asking me to unlock the phone though the Mii Unlock App , then flash it .
How can this make the 4G radio come to life ?

If you really feel it's a hardware issue, then it's recommended to claim the warranty or replace. I'd suggest you not to go with bootloader unlocking at this stage

Hello
OK I made some progress , I changed the sim Card to an O2 Network Sim which works perfectly . I had tried exhausted all other practicable solution given including the above . This doesn't explain why the phone stopped working with all EE network providers ( tried Virgin , EE, Plusnet ) .
http://en.miui.com/thread-1429676-1-1.html

How can I find out which bands a sim card provider is using ( Live Information ) . I have tried to research this but bands have changed over the years , so not sure which provider is using which band . I wanted to determine which bands the phone will currently work on .

Hi guys,
I just gave me iphone xs max to my wife since her iphone 7 is already too buggy and slow. Now that I moved to s10+, I love it and but the customization option is overwhelming me. Happy though that its customizable.
Then I realize 1 critical thing. I bought a snapdragon USA version of AT&T from local importer. I am located in Asia. When I looked at the software version, its only at "G975USQU1ASD3" with security patch, March 2019. I tried for 2 days now to get the OTA update and it just wont come. Saying that I already got the latest update.
Naturally I checked google and found so many updates, and one of them, night mode in camera, I really want. Now I am a newbie in all of these. My question is.. how do I get the non OTA update? I don't have a PC, but I might be able to use my work PC. I do have an micro SD card.
In summary:
1. Where to find the update files? the non OTA version
2. Is it doable without PC?
3. Can I just jump to the latest firmware update, or do I have to do it manually one by one?
4. Will it wipe my phone, because I spent hours customizing it before checking the problem.
Thank you very much if there's anyone willing to help me figuring things out.
regards,

Naturally I checked google and found so many updates, and one of them, night mode in camera, I really want. Now I am a newbie in all of these. My question is.. how do I get the non OTA update? I don't have a PC, but I might be able to use my work PC. I do have an micro SD card.
In summary:
1. Where to find the update files? the non OTA version
2. Is it doable without PC?
3. Can I just jump to the latest firmware update, or do I have to do it manually one by one?
4. Will it wipe my phone, because I spent hours customizing it before checking the problem.
Thank you very much if there's anyone willing to help me figuring things out.
regards,

1.You can download firmwares on sammobile.com for your model
2.You can use work PC but need get small software named Odin and samsung drivers for correct work
3.You not need install one by one you can flash directly to latest one but must use HOME_CSC and make backup with samsung app named smart switch which is already on phone if not you can get it on Google Play Store

Hi, check the thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/guide-g975f-flashing-megathread-faqs-t3936704
there are answers for all your questions=)

thank you very much guys!
I need an urgent help however.. I changed my csc to SPRINT from ATnT, using *#272*IMEI number# method. I kept changing to T mobile, and all, until I got stuck with SPRINT.
Now I tried the *#272*IMEI number# method and it won't let me do it with SPRINT CSC.
HELP please ( I just want to go back to ATnT or T mobile again..

To try and force a change of the csc power down your phone, remove the SIM card and boot up your phone without any SIM inserted. After the phone has completely booted up insert your SIM and you should get a message that the network settings are being updated.
I purchased an unlocked AT&T S10+ as well to use on T-Mobile. Since you don't actually have AT&T service I would very strongly recommend that you flash the U1 (unlocked) firmware. There are instructions for doing this in another XDA thread.
AT&T firmware is modded specifically for their messaging, network and WiFi services. Since I'm not an AT&T customer I got no OTA updates until I flashed the U1 firmware. Immediately after flashing the U1 firmware and booting up OTA updates were available to download and I receive OTA updates when they are available so there's no further need to manually flash updates using a computer.
The current U1 firmware has night mode for the camera and was just updated this week to the August security patch (which is good for Samsung).

Hi thank you very much for your help. I appreaciate it. However, as you can see from my opening post, I kinda did a mistake and locked myself out of AT&T now.. I am stuck with Sprint after changing CSC 3x feeling safe.. then Spint removed my ability to change CSC via *#272*IMEI#
:crying::crying::crying:

You shouldn't need to change the CSC using the dial code. If you cold start your phone without a SIM card then insert the sim after your phone has fully booted up you should get a message about your network settings updating.
I would also still recommend flashing the U1 unlocked firmware.

Hi thanks again for replying to me. I tried many times doing this but as soon as my SIM card got in, SPRINT OMADM took over.. I can't even get rid of the notification.. sigh..

This might help:

That's apparently something annoying that's specific to Sprint.
To get rid of any US carrier stuff on your phone I would still suggest using the modified Odin (which can be found in the XDA firmware flashing threads for the S10+) and flash the U1 firmware version which is carrier free.
