Hey everyone,
I live in Turkey and I bought my N9005 from Germany (Saturn-I think it is DBT version)
I contacted samsung.de and they provided unlock code for region lock.
and it is officially region unlocked.
I've been waiting for kitkat update for DBT version but nothing came online yet.
So here is the question,
What happens to my "unlock", if I flash poland or any other FW via Odin to my N9005?
will I need to contact samsung.de for a new unlock code , which takes 10-15 days to get one.
or it will stay region unlocked after Odin flash of any FW (european)
Thanks in advance for the answers.
So, i have just purchased an unlocked brand new I9005 in my country (Romania), and i was surprised that it came with 4.4.2 out of the box. As i saw from gsmarena, for my country android L is available, i checked the sammobile site, and it's true, for romania there is a version of android L for i9005, but it's Vodafone branded. If i flash that firmware with odin:
1. will i trip Knox?
2. will i lock my phone to vodafone carrier?
Thanks in advance
No
No
Can I install the Polish 5.0 build on a Carrier locked EE (UK) Note 9005?
Sorry for the question. I'm struggling to understand the requirements. My Note 3 is locked to EE. If I install the unbranded Lollipop 5 on this will it cause issues? Does the SIM lock have any affect on the ROM?
I'm thinking if I install the Polsih or UK Vodafone Firmware the phone will no longer work on my Provider? All I would then need to do is request a Unlock code?
Any help will be appreciated.......I'll leave thanks!
I got a three branded s6 Edge + and the three branding really annoys me. I dont feel like i have the need to root the phone but is there a way to unbrand the phone?
I tried to find the BTU version for sweden on sammobile but i only found the three version.
So can i just go with a UK BTU version or should i just wait for a swedish one to get released?
Use Odin to flash an unbranded firmware. Download the firmware from sammobile for your model.
Please tell us the model of the phone, the country, locked /unlocked (also the carrier if locked), any information about the update in your country / information from your personal carrier.In Romania on SMG-935 F unlocked I didn't recieve the update.
The most important countries already received the update such as UK, a part of France and some of Australia.
This thread will help you determinate when your getting the update based on other people's info from your country. Please share your info.
