Please post only if you can help.

Answer is probably that your network has not updated yet .
Product Code defines Kies update if no update for that product code = answer you got on Kies .
Either read more on Reg Patcher thread to see if you are doing something wrong .
Or take phone to a service centre .

Revert IMEI

Hello, I don't know whow this happened, but I just pulled my 2X out of my pocket because it got very hot. I noticed that it was stuck on the bootscreen. After I pulled out the battery and rebooted, I was welcomed with a message by Whatsapp telling me that my IMEI has changed.
Now this is funny. I have no idea how this happenend but my IMEI has been changed to my baseband version:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Fortunately I have written down my original IMEI when I got the phone, so I have my own IMEI here. I only need a way to revert it. If someone knows how, please tell me! I have found an answer in this forum which states that it is not possible... Well, it must be if this could happen!

8. Reset
Hope it works
Btw, this took 20 seconds, by typing "restore IMEI o2x" in search bar, so as always: Read, read, read, try, try and then ask. I am constantly amazed how many helpful and skilled people are here.

I appreciate your answer, but I also searched the O2X forums and found that post. That USSD code does not work for me, phone just says it's an invalid USSD code. I think it only works on LG stock firmware. I am using temasek's CM7 build 135.2.

Then backup your Rom, flash stock or rebuild and do process. Then restore. Simple as banana.

Asian language message presented when attempting to root using Odin?

Hi Everyone,
I have been attempting to root my SM-N9208 using these instructions.
Whilst I have followed the instructions to the letter I have not been able to finish the rooting process.
When I boot into 'Download Mode' I see the following screen -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The above screen varies slightly from that shown in the instructions (provided in my earlier link), but in essence the options are the same. I therefore press on the Volume Up button.
I am then presented with the screen below -
At this point I load up Odin and attempt to flash the rooted Kernel. Odin inadvertently freezes and I am presented with the screen below (on my phone ) -
Unfortunately I cannot understand what is written on the above screen. Can anybody share some light on what this screen says, and or explain what I can do to proceed with the rooting?
Any help here will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo

Hi All,
I have answered my own question, there is a vital step missing from the instructions in the link that I was following. Of course I found a better set of instructions on this very forum - [GUIDE] How To Root SM-N9208...why go anywhere else?
Once I followed the 'CROM Service App' step and rebooted into 'Download Mode' I was presented with the screen below -
Simply pressing the Volume Up button got me on the right track and I was then able to flash the rooted kernel.
Kind Regards,
Davo

it said you have to unlock your phone before flashing any stuffs, i think it means bootloader not sim lock

Hi uLYgRaPHiCs,
Thanks for getting back to me on this - the message as you suspected is related to the 'CROM Service' lock status. I overcame this by downloading an app from the Samsung Store and unlocking the CROM Service. I have now successfully flashed a custom ROM to my phone.
Kind Regards,

Deleted all SMS! - Recovery Options? - unrooted Android 8.0.0

Hello.
I was deleting 2 SMS messages, I did long press on the 1st until the blue tick appeared then selected the 2nd SMS.
I then quickly went to the top 3 dots to select 'Delete' and the next thing I saw is blue ticks all the way down the right hand side of the screen with 'Deleting' on the screen.
The screen refreshed and it was blank - all SMS messages deleted :-(
What are my options to recover them?
I have looked at apps like Fonedog & Dr Fone but after they connect they state root is required.
I was not using Google backup and had just tried Mi Cloud backup/sync a few weeks ago but with just photos selected.
My phone details;
Model: Mi 5
Android version: 8.0.0 OPR1.170623.032
Android Security patch level: 2018-10-01
MIUI version: MIUI Global 10.2 Stable 10.2.2.0(0AAMIXM)
In Developer options:
OEM unlocking is greyed out but it says "Bootloader is already unlocked" underneath (see screenshot below)
Mi Unlock status says "Unlocked"

Your help and suggestions greatly appreciated - I had some sentimental messages I would definitely like to recover. I have removed the SIM, turned off Wifi, turned on aircraft mode and phone is turned off unused.
If the bootloader is already unlocked - could I try to root the device (with low risk of data loss) then try Fonedog & Dr Fone recovery again?
When I first got the phone I tried Kingo-root and similar apps but they failed to root the device. I didn't take it any further at the time.
I know, I know, about backups and have already berated myself. I'm very careful deleting things and this Mi 5 has worked beautifully in the time I have had it. I just don't know how it could have happened. I promise to setup a daily backup/sync once I get over this.
Thank You.

Help Odd SM-M205M or F

Hi, I need to ask for help, I have 2 brand new phones that work ok, 4gb ram and 64 storage, and I need to update them, but:
1.- Phone's model, baseband and software version: Model: SM-M205'M', Andoird 8.1.0, Samsung experience 9.5 Baseband M205MUBU1ASD3 Build Number:M1AJQ.M205MUBU1ASD3
2.- Back Sticker: Model SM-M205'M'
3.- But, download mode: Product Name: SM-M205F, Current Binary: Custom, KG State: Checking. OEM Lock: OFF, Secure downloading: Enabled, Carrier ID: MID, CCIC= S2MU004
4.- Odin "M" firmware, fails in pit, every single one, even combination using bit1 and bit2 firmwares, and even reading pit or extracting the open pit from firmware
5.- Manual Update: Failed to update software/ The operation system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software updates using Smart switch on your computer or visit a customer service center. (Smart switch: No update available)
So how to update as M version and not F version, allegedly non rooted as being new, out of the box and how to change the product name, as software, box and back sticker?
if you search the imei info in servers, it states that is a SM-M205F.
Thank you.

This is telling me that the "M" version was flashed on to it (with or without root?)
Have you tried flashing the "F" version firmware?

Hi, thank you for your attention. Yes indeed, the phones are F, if their Product name on download is F, but M box, M back sticker and M full software, non rooted,
I do think that F firmware, will be the best option, but how they managed to flash it like that, firmware from one version on another product name version, without root, so I can replicate it, if needed, because of the LTE differences between F and M, or to reverse it if anything goes wrong.
But in Service provider SW version: OJM region MID, but it is Middle East and SM-M205F is the model according to it?

Hi, after flashing several F versions without issues, I was able to update to the last using smartswitch but at the end, the phone's software went smooth, but if you try to update from menu, the same failed message even after successfully done with smartswitch, and the worst, no signal, afterwards, and the other phone with the M version has signal with both sims from different operators but only one receives calls, the problem is that the one updated is now in Bit8 as SM-M205F, and has signal, imei status ng and MIPI test success, as the other in *#0011#, but can not register on both networks.
