I have S8+ NTT DoCoMo model SC-03J. I am trying to use it in USA. It's carrier unlocked and works with US Sim card but has weird Japanese messages and DoCoMo bloatware.
Please tell me a procedure to get a custom ROM for Snapdragon version(Most custom ROMS are for Exynos version-Dream2lte, But mine is a SNapdragon version dream2Qlte). or how to flash a stock ROM of another country say US-Unlocked with English language.
Thanks

Hello I am Greek and today I flashed my friend's Austrian n9005 the Greek stock 4.4.2 rom succesfully via odin and I wondered if I can do the same with american models such as verizon's or us celurar's or at least flash europian modems to them and work with 4g becasuse I don't know their actual hardware compatibility and many ebay sellers say that they sell "verizon n9005" or "us cellurar n9005" which tempiting from their name and price.I hope for some enlightenment to what could I choose from us ebay to save some money...
Greek 4g works on 1800mhz
Hi guys one of my friends bought a S4 in the US, It's AT&T locked SGH-I337 so can't use it with sim in our country (South Africa)We have two models of S4 here, the I9500&I9505. Was wondering what the right steps is to get the phone working? Must I root the phone and flash custom Rom & kernel or just unlock sim card? I'm not new to Rooting or flashing Roms but haven't fidled with carrier locked phones before [emoji3] [emoji2]
Send from my UNBENDABLE NOTE 3 ?

Hi,
I'm looking purchase and root the GN3 N9005 International Version (I'm in the Caribbean) and I would like to know if there was an option where I could have multiple Roms installed and I choose whichever one I wanted at any point in time. I see that there is safestrap but based on what I read it seem that its only on variant models(Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T) would SafeStrap allow me to do this?
Please advise.
Thanks
Hello everyone,
yesterday, a family member gifted me an s7 from the USA (SM-G930P). He bought the phone off SPRINT as a SPRINT unlocked version, and, of course, because I live in Europe and want to use the phone with a European SIM card I have the "hands free activation" mark that is sitting on the top left edge of the display. I also noticed some changes, for example the "mobile data" toggle is nowhere to be found and also I don't have the options to choose the network mode (2G/3G/4G). I love the phone and I also would like to keep using it, I only need some answers from you guys.
My first question is, if the phone will actually let me use 4G network with my European SIM card, or will I be limited to 3G?
My second question is, If I can flash an international firmware for another carrier and another country on the phone, and if so, will I have the advantages of that firmware, like the Mobile Data Toggle??
Thank you very much for your answers.
If you install the 'Network' app you might be able to change the network type.
In general you should be able to use an unlocked P variant with a foreign SIM but you may have to activate with a Sprint SIM first.
You can't flash the international version since it's Exynos and the P version is Qualcomm CPU.
I am not sure if this model has Samsung region lock which is another thing to consider.
If I was you I would try to flash the U firmware (US unlocked) as it has the most support for international 4G bands among the Qualcomm US models. It also doesn't have all of the Sprint bloatware on it.

Thank you for your reply. I am currently using the European Sim from my carrier and I have no problems with it. I managed to get rid of the Bloatware by using Package Disabler Pro, but it still sits there somewhere on my phone. So far, the phone is working very well and other than the bloat sitting on my memory and the lack of LTE, I have no complaints.
Can you tell me if someone has tried to flash the U firmware on a P model with success?

Could you tell me how you did it, or link me a guide??
I had bought an unlocked Sprint galaxy S7 (930P) off ebay which died on me. Got it repaired from the service center and they sent me a locked device instead. The phone is currently on Software Version - G930PVPS4BQC1 and the hardware revision is Rev 0.6. I'll be using the phone in India and have a few questions.
1. I need to get this SIM unlocked from a service online. Does anyone know of a reliable place to do so?
2. If I flash the U Rom on it after unlocking it, will I lose the unlock? (I don't mind downgrading from Nougat to Marshmallow)
3. Should I unlock first then flash the ROM or flash the ROM first and then try to get it unlocked?
4. Will flashing the ROM directly unlock the phone itself?
Please advise.
...
you could try gsm zambia to unlock your phone it works i tried it myself a few days ago, also after my phone got unlocked i flash the U firmware/rom and the unlocked remained. so you should unlock your device first then flash the U firmware :good:
PS. if you one nougat better to downgrade if you can do marshmallow so when you wont have any issues flashing to U firmware. :cool

Can I Switch Between Official ROMs on LG G6 (KT Telecom "LG-G600K" to "non-carrier")?
Hey all, just a quick question… what's LG's devices traditionally been like when it comes to installing ROMs from other region? Is this something doable?
I'm hoping to one day, perhaps swap to a more plain-vanilla ROM that doesn't have pre-installed much bloatware. I recall installing/upgrading LG's phones in the past using the official .kdz files, and I'm curious if I could do the same…
I bought a South Korean LG G6 (model: LG-G600k) and it's riddled with carrier bloatware. There's a few traces of Korean-specific services as well that I wish I could get rid of…
Newer lg devices ( g4 , g5 ) is only having 10 percent of support as compared to old models like g3 , g2.
If you install a rom of different carrier (with same device model and region) in your phone it may work if both carriers are using same bands.
If you install a rom of different carrier of different region ( with same device model ) it will give you ntt code error.
We can not install international model rom ( non Carrier ) to any Carrier specific model.
Until root is achieved you can try to disable unwanted apps.
If you have your phone inhand please provide system dump it will be helpful for further development.
Thanks for the answer!
Basically, the best bet on removing bloatware (and traces of Korean-specific services/UI elements) is by flashing a custom ROM; once root is achieved and custom recovery is made…, correct me if I'm wrong!
Also, I can only flash other Korean-based ROM (carrier built, or otherwise factory ROM) into this LGM-G600K. Am I right?
I'll look into providing a system dump. I did it once many many years ago; not sure if I remember.
@hidea
Yeah you are right
But you can always try other roms with same model number. For eg lg g5 h960 model released in india as well as in Indonesia. So roms of these model can be switched with eachother .
Now I'm having open euro h850 international model of g5 i can switch to tim Italy rom but cant switch to Vodafone rom ( gave me ntt code error ). Vodafone Germany and tim Italy both carriers are using h850 model but i can switch only to tim Italy.
So there's no hard and fast rule for switching roms with same Device model. You can always try which rom works for you. But don't try to flash other model rom to your device.
Sry for eng.
I Have the same phone, LGM-g600k, I disable all KT apps , but still have some ones in the phone, i search for a firmware for flash into our phone but without success.
hello! were anyone of you able to root G600k, or change the region, or do anything to remove KT specific poo from the phone? i'm not able to enable volte and its frustrating since the carrier here only works on volte
