Hi,
I Have a T-Mobile Galaxy Tab (SGH-T849).
and i Need to flash an unlocked modem so i can use any carrier instead of T-Mobile
I had android 2.3.3 then i rooted the tab and installed cyanogen mod 9 (stable)
my carrier is Etisalat (Egypt)
so someone can help,please.
?
Mod Edit: Removed needless formatting
Flashing modem doesn't unlock carrier.
The lock info and imei numbers etc are in /efs
It is an encrypted filesystem. That no new rom replaces.

alright
i checked this topic and i didn't understand all the steps.
what about the spt box thing?
finally, is there a way to unlock the carrier?
So I live in Romania, and I have I8190 (international unlocked non-nfc model) and I have xxamd3 since I got it in July... Problem is, software update (even kies) say I have the latest version, however, the latest version for "Romania" (without any carrier) and Vodafone România (my Carrier) were released in September...
I know I can easily flash with Odin, but why am I getting no update by kies or software update?

Nevermind, I got it carrier-free from eMAG, and it apparently has the COA version (cosmote), which is pretty much the only one who didn't get the amg4 update
My question is, what happens if I flash the Romanian version for no carrier? (this might also fix some connection issues, since I am on Vodafone)

No problem. I am from Spain and I use a rooted ROM from Germany without problem.

Yeah, I researched a bit, and I found that the ROM or the CNX (Vodafone ro) cdc were not in my system (/system/cdc), guess I'll just wait for the update from cosmote, I unrooted my phone for warranty, and I don't want to lose it

I am on the UK rom and thought about going to the US rom, but I am rooted and have null installed and have my gear right how I want it. So the question is If I flash the US rom will I lose my root and all of my stuff and have to do it all over? I am new to this.

Yes you will be wiping everything when you flash the new firmware. It basically formats and re writes then new firmware. There is no need to switch back to US version. I am still on UK aswell with no plans of redoing to usa version.

I tried to Odin back to the US ROM and all I get is stuck on the Samsung screen on the gear. I even tried to go back to stock UK and same result. Everything flashes fine just won't get off the Samsung screen. Only way I can get the gear to work again is to Odin the recovery and flash null. Am I missing something?

Hi everyone,
is it possible to put stock rom from european version of S5 Active to AT&T S5 Active? Do I have to change kernell as well, or just simply flash stock rom from G870F? Thanks

you cant flash stock G870F to your device, the bootloader is locked (research goes along way towards answering your question) the only way you would get the 870F is via a custom rom based on that device, and you cant flash any kernels no matter what.
so in short NO you cant do whatyou want,
you need to root your device, install safestrap and flash a custom rom if you want anything outside of stock.

NO YOU DID NOT UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER, you only SIM unlocked the device for use on other carriers, you still cannot flash the stock G870F odin firmware to your device.
I'm not sure if that is 100% true. I think you can flash another but only if it is the same kernell. So if you are on 4.4.4 you can flash the same but you can't upgrade from there since the bootloader is locked. You can only upgrade an AT&T stock Rom.
Thanks for your reply. .....But i unlocked my bootloader with App called EZ-UNLOCK, is there any possibility that I still have locked bootloader....my android is 4.4.2.....Both G870A and G870F are similar in every Headwear. ....... do i need to flash kernel first......
Thanks

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY, EZ-UNLOCK app for locking/unlocking the bootloader and it said I did it successfully,
(1). My device is rooted.
(2). 4.4.2 Stock.
(3). No AT&T firmware Support
(4). Bootloader is unlocked. (if EZ-UNLOCK did it)
So what I need to do to flash G870F stock Firmware and Kernell or official 5.1 lollipop to my S5 ACTIVE G870A At&t, plz tell me Which KERNELL do i need and where can i download it.

If you truly have a SM-G870A then I highly doubt the app worked or we would all be using it. You can flash with Odin to any G870 with 4.4.2 or upgrade to 4.4.4 and flash that equivalent. But I wouldn't mess with it if you don't know what you are doing. 5 will be out soon. AT&T is just taking it's time and we are being very impatient.
I did a quick search of that app youve used there and it says IN THE TITLE its for the verizon S3, not only that the thread for this app says its not only not been updated since 2012 but will hardbrick your device if you use it on the later firmwares. That app is most likely lying about the bootloader being unlocked. At the end of the day it is locked and we just have to deal with it and work around it.

I assume you mean flashfire, as mobile odin does not work on our device. If you didnt, look in to flashfire, it will do what you need.

Alright, but back to my Question, is it possible?
hi, just picked up a locked (vodafone uk) s3 mini from a friend. was an unwanted upgrade. would flashing an open uk rom via odin remove the lock?
No, you will have to get it unlocked from Vodafone or via Web based service
