Hello Guys,
I got my s8 a few months ago and have being traveling around the same region, I had installed a custom rom and used XME firmware (for malaysia) and recently went to India for a holiday and realised any local sim that I had purchased would not working saying the sim is locked or something along those lines. I just ended up getting data roaming since I didn't have much choice.
I was wondering if I were to flash the rom again, which baseband should I select which would work in all?
Thanks ^^

Hi Guys and Girls..lol.
I have AT&T Note3 that is under contract and I want to be able to use it in India during my month long visit.
I have the phone rooted, with safetrap (Latest version) and ROM from here.
I also installed the Region Lock Away app (got it from here) and it sucessfully did its job and rebooted.
I still dont know if this phone is ready to be used in India.
I do not have any other SIIM to test it.
Would anyone have any idea as to how I can test the phone without SIM CARD to know if its unlocked to take any other SIM cARD?
What would I do to make it ready for use in INDIA.
Thanks for your time and help.

Hello everybody, I'm thinking of buying a slightly used S5 G900F. The price is really good and it could save me a lot of money instead of buying a brand new one.. the only problem is the network lock as it came from a postpaid line. Now, could i flash an Official Firmware or a Custom Stock with the same CSC and remove the Sim Lock? Any ideas about issues that may come up? Thank you, guys!

Hi all,
I own a SM-A500M phone. The phone has unlocked stock rom (original rom is not modified by carrier) and updated trough OTA to android 5.0.2. I know 4g does work in my phone because I could use it with my prior carrier, but I recently changed to CLARO and with this new provider I don't have 4g acces, only H+ and it is really slow and laggy connection.
I know the following:
1) Sim card is a compatible 4g nano sim
2) The carrier CLARO has 4g coverage where I live
3) The phone is not the problem
4) I have tried all the usual FAQS (APN's, select LTE in config, reboot) with no success.
5) The phone's variant is right (latinoamerican brand), so It can't be due to frequencies or bands problems.
I asked for help in CLARO and told me that this has happened amongst users with unlocked phones (that is, rom not modified with CLARO's bloatware), and the solution is to flash CLARO's rom. But the problem with this solution is that CLARO hasn't released android 5.0.2 update (and I think it will never update) and I really like android 5 and wouldn't want to return to 4.4.
So, is it true? Is there a chance to fix this problem with minor tweaks? What is the problem here?
Since I recently acquired this phone, I would prefer not lossing warranty, so rooting and custom roms might not be an option.
Thanks in advance. Kind regards!
You could try to flash their rom and check if it works. Then you can be 100% sure that hardware/chip/network provider are fine. I have the same phone on since last week, but still did not go to get the chip at a movistar office. Maybe you need to activate the chip and they refuse to do it unless you get their rom. Maybe just getting their rom, and then flashing back the updated stock one or a CM or whatev would be enough.
Hi
I just purchased a S6 edge+ SM-G928A which is I believe from the at&t network in the usa, I purchased it from
a electronics retailer on ebay, the phone works perfect and came with MM installed however I want
to upgrade to Nougat and the at&t software updater refuses to download which I believe is down to
me not having a at&t sim card, something that is impossible for me as I am from the UK and currently use the three network.
My questions are
is it possible to upgrade the firmware and if so can I flash the usa firmware or do I have to find one that is international or european?
I semi familiar with using odin and flashing etc so that part I dont really need help with, I just need advice on flashing the right rom .
could i for instance flash 3 uks firmware for this phone? or another uk provider.
any advice appreciated.
