Domestic Unlock Question

Hello Everyone,
I currently have a SPH-L720 that I performed the international sim-unlock on and currently use it in the UK. I plan to use it when I return to the states on Verizon, but am curious if I need to perform the Domestic Sim-unlock and change the LTE bands under the hidden dialer menu or should it work automatically since the phone is currently carrier unlocked and then only need to change the LTE bands? Thanks!

It doesn't support the Verizon LTE bands to begin with. Pretty sure you will never have 4G, if I'm wrong kindly point me to the info.

Ah ok I was under the assumption that I was able to modify my LTE bands as I saw on an S5 tutorial.

Would you mind linking that tutorial? As far as I know you can only change them to bands that are already supported by the device.

SPH-L720T stuck on Global??

Hello everyone. I recently bought a few Galaxy S4's to resell. I kept and unlocked one, then sold the others on ebay. One of the buyers just contacted me and told me that they cannot get the phone working on their sprint account because Sprint says the phone is stuck on global mode. What is global mode and is there any easy way I can walk them through correcting it? I dont rememebr seeing a global setting in the *#0011# menu.
Thanks in advance.

I would tell them to Odin the stock software from www.sammobile.com that should reset everything to stock. Global mode is where it is unlocked and can use either a CDMA or GSM signal (as most of the world uses GSM not CDMA, hence the name global).

Thanks for the reply. I thought I used ODIN to format this phone before I shipped it, but I could be wrong. How can I make sure that the phone is able to work on sprint before I try to sell it again?

Yes, it does that as well... As for the last question, I don't know. Kind of hard to tell on an unactivated phone. You could try Freedompop, it's free and they use the Sprint network. If it works on there it should work on Sprint.

Help: Information about my s8 phone?

I'm sorry to use Google Translate because I'm not good at speaking English . My s8 phone can't tell which version it is? Sprint, T-mobie, Verizon or At&T. And I can't update via OTA in settings, so can I know which version it is? Which rom install for my s8 phone? thanks all.

I don't know which ROM to install for my phone, because CSC and Baseband and PDA are different. It cannot be updated by OTA in settings. My android right now is 8.0.

Search for the Frija Tool and you can download it yourself.

I thought the tool only provided full firmware and not OTA.

Yes, you are correct. I don't really see a difference as long as you use the HOME CSC when installing the Full Download version. I originally put the TMB version on my phone as it came out weeks in advance of TLS but did install the TLS version once it came out.

But if I flash with odin this it will factory default the phone?

That might be a question for someone more in the know... I have been flashing my phones since the S2 and never had any issues so I am not sure what the effect would be if you are correct. When I flash my phones back to TLS using ODIN, I still get OTA updates. Maybe that is because I only buy factory unlocked phones, I don't buy from carriers.

S10 Plus Snapdragon version not getting OTA updates

Hello guys, i bough my phone samsung S10 Plus with Snapdragon processor, G975U, and it is running android 10, i want to update it to android 11 but it displays my phone is up to date. OTA updates or Smart Switch doesnt work, tried many times. I live in Brazil and here its sold Exynos varian, since i dislike that version, i bought the Snapdragon USA version of S10 Plus, G975U.
The phone displays AT & T carrier when i turn it on, but its full unlocked, im using my carrier here in brazil, without problems. How can i update it safely, i am afraid getting the wrong rom or brick it. My bootloader version is showed bellow.

Thanks for your help. I will install G975UOYN5GUE3 one. Since i want to keep my apps and data i must flash HOME_CSC_*** right. Or it is not recommended and i should flash just the CSC_*** file? Im not sure

For some reason when i set odin up and the files, i get stuck on file analysis. I suspect is the home_csc that is causing it to take longer. I dont want to erase all my data. Yep waited like 10 min and the process did not start, still on file analysis. Using Odin 3.14.1

Finnaly i did it. Have switch versions, odin 3.14 worked for me. 3.14.1 did not, dont know why, but Who cares, now im running android 11 on my device

Congratulations! I don't know/care about CSC stuff, I never added it to the installation list.

I flashed with home_csc so i could keep all my data and apps. Everything went fine. Thanks

Hi there. I'm having the same problems. Can you run me through how you selected the correct firmware for your device?

Hi... how about the latest android12 firmware ? Mine is same as OP, an unlocked ATT. Is it better to flash U1 version ? Can also direct to beginner guide as i'm not familiar with these procedures..

U1 is the unlocked variant. You can crossflash any USA Samsung variant, and you will not have any issues - just the carrier bloat and services are slightly different. Keep in mind that inserting a SIM card could change your firmware.
