If i remember correctly, i don't have imei sv before. But now after flashing Darky's rom i just noticed that it was there right below imei. Is that normal? i tried flashing back to original jpjg8 but still getting it. Should i be worried? Thanks!
Seriously? Nobody here ever noticed if they have imei sv before? Or any of you guys here can tell me if you have this on your phone now? thanks
Had it ever since.

Have bought it yesterday so I have no custom rom (yet) and it is there too.
No big deal: IMEI SV
This number identifies the Software Version of the device as specified by the manufacturer. See also:Wikipedia and query: International_Mobile_Equipment_Identity

As per my knowledge changing IMEI may cause damge ur cell and it is offence too. I personaly recomended that Please go to your nearest official service center and ask them to do so.

Mod please help him if any better solution available.
I was under the impression that Kies looked for branding on the phones present firmware and then retrieved/installed the matching one from the Samsung server. However. At least one person has stated that though their phone was unbranded/sim free that they have had a Vodafone 2.1 update (they were using the VF network at the time) that has effectively branded their phone and placed all the bloatware that comes with VF as well. How can this happen? Does it read the sim for network operator and do it from there?
here's a clue

Read more into the registry keys info.
Sent from my SHW-M110S using XDA App
in one of the replies on that topic it was mentioned what Kies looks for to find the firmware you should upgrade to
Ahh I see. But that is the question. This was an unbranded phone so it would not have had any network marker in the registry but did have a VF sim in the slot. It still installed the VF doctored update instead of a generic one. (this is the info I have been given)
it has nothing to do wth the branding
it's the model ID that it looks for and the previous ROM
each model has its own ID if you read the registry you'll find it

Yes I understand that but it is through the model ID in the registry that it knows which branding the phone has. Mine for example is GT-I9000HKDXEU which is generic UK and is not T-Mobile.

Unfortunately, any discussion on modification of IMEI numbers is not allowed on XDA as it is illegal in most countries and XDA is based in the USA and would, potentially, be held liable for such activity.
Google would be your best friend.

Thank you for the good advice ^^^^^

Hello,
maybe someone can help me or at least talk to me:
I purchased a new, sealed and locked I8190N in Germany, from TCHIBO Mobil. They are subproviders in the network of O2, j4yi.
To use the phone with another provider, I purchased an net unlock code from Ebay. I received the codes (NCK and SPCK) after some days from the seller, which do not work for me. It says something like "problems while running unlock process". Unfortunately the seller is an imposter, as he does not give me refund even I was able to show the codes he sent me do not work. But this is another story. :silly:
My question would be: Is there a stock rom I can flash to my phone? I checked my phone, at the moment 4.2.1 is installed, with I8190NXXANA1 as baseband. The last hint could be unlocking it at a phone dealer shop in town, because I was told unlocking with cable is more likely to help if code does not work. But who knows... I'm used to flashing mobile phones, running CM on my Motorola Defy all the time. But with Samsung and the special NFC version I got, I do not know wether I can use CM I8190 (without N) for my phone. Or if I should unlock it at a dealer somewhere in my town before starting flashing anything.
Thanks a lot for help and reply! :good:
afaik, you dont need phone unlocked from service provider to flash custom rom, phone just needs to be rooted.then flash rom with custom recovery. stick to roms suitable for n, i have n version & run virginity rom, but try a few & see which you prefer, there is a lot of great talent here.be careful & enjoy.

Thanks. I only wonder if it is maybe not possible to unlock it afterwards any more (after I have flashed CM). I will go to local dealer, to see if they can unlock it.
i dont think it will be a problem, let us know how you get on
You said your Android version is 4.2.1 Do you mind sharing what's your devices' model number, 'cause GT-I8190 runs android 4.1.2 and GT-I8200 runs 4.2.2. I haven't seen anything like your firmware on the S3 Mini (official by Samsung, that is)

Do not know what you mean? But already solved problem with unlocking at a local dealer. Afterwards I installed CM and now everything is ok! :laugh:
I mean that no S3 Mini version is with Android 4.2.1. Do you mean to say 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? Glad you fixed your problem

I did not save it. I guess I was just wrong!
I bought a new Galaxy Note 9 online about a month ago (which I'm slowly starting to regret because of this issue), and I'm trying to upgrade it to Android 10. However, the Model Number and the Baseband version says SM-N960F/DS and N960NKOU3ASG1. After searching online for a while, I found a forum post from here two months that talks about my exact problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/help-android-10-update-note-9-t4047729 which basically says to flash the firmware via Odin.
However, I'm having some doubts of whether it is the correct firmware of not, though this could be due to having problems with Sammobile for a long time. When I talked with one of the admins of Sammobile, he said that my phone has a "Custom ROM"/"Modded firmware" and to ask "the procedures on XDA where you downloaded the Custom Rom from "Ketan"... " This is the forum discussion I had with him, along with images of my phone showing the software info: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/45917-download-link-for-firmware-not-working
If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it

So yours is N960N?
mixed firmware
According to the Sammobile admin, I have mixed firmware, N960F & N960N
Model Number: SM-N960F/DS
Baseband Version: N960NKOU3ASG1
Build Number: N960FXXS3CSFC_Dr.Ketan_P13_XDA
and then Service Provider SW ver says SAOMC_SM-N960F_OXM_BRI_PP_0014 ...
edit: sorry for the late response, noone responded for a while, so was busy with other matters
It flashed with a custom rom. I have seen so many F versions with this issue. You should be able to factory reset then use Phone Info app. Do a refurbishment check with the app and also check what firmware. Find out what model and region..get the firmware and flash with odin. Whenever I have purchased a device off line I always ask seller to send a pic of the software screen.

I'll do the factory reset tomorrow, its getting late in my time, and I have to sleep early cause I work as retail morning shift.
The app that you're talking about is Phone Info, made by uax.io correct? The phone I'm sure is brand new because I remember discussing it with my sister and talking about just getting a brand new phone and not wanting to deal with returning it due to the current pandemic situation. The big problem I seem to have is that I'm not sure exactly what firmware I should use, since the Sammobile admin said my phone is using a mix.
