Hello
I am wondering if its possible (and if so, if it works!) to flash a generic firmware on a Bell branded device (customization number 6616).
Thanks!
its possible to put a unbranded rom on a carrier branded xperia phone , without root i think it gets a little messy but it is possible... with root it should be easier
I'm looking for a workable reverse solution. I have an unlockable 6603. Can I flash 6606/6616 radio baseband and get LTE coverage on T-Mobile or AT&T when in the US?

after I flashed my rom the device doesnot recognize the network signal I checked the baseband and it is of a diffrent country and I need the modem files for egypt vodafone carrier

hey hello to all out there
Basically i am new in the forum but not to its threads which have always been a great help to me when it comes to rooting my smart devices or making them more efficient or whatevr so finally joined it to avial even more fun !
Well i own a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT- i9305 4G LTE which i rooted months back in order to install android kikkat 4.4 .But i later found that the android kikkat versions available den, were not the officail ones and the users complained various problems with the custom ones so i decided to wait for the official release and to install it manually using ODIN!
Now when the officail kikkat is avialable to download i am damn confused about regions i should download from ..coz my PDA version and Csc version denote different regions !
So what i need is some expert advice on this as to what to do in this case when the PDA and CSC /Product code show different regions!? Should i change my csc, den how?n how do i know the correct csc for my device coz my PDA shws i have a multi csc ?(n i dont knw what was my csc before i rooted)
Phone Info
Model:Gt - i9305 4g lte
Country of origin: MADE IN VEITNAM
Original CSC code: VDI
Product Code: GT-I9305RWDVDI
PDA version: I9305XXUEMKC

(P.s- I dialed *#06# to knw the IMEI n through it i came to knw that my phone is from germany so my csc should have code that matches with germany code but my csc code i.e VDI matches to ireland )
plsssss help guys!!!! :crying:

So are you having any problems? You can use different PDA(rom) and CSC(sales code) as long as they are from the same android version. It shouldn't matter otherwise. The baseband version will affect your reception and is region specific(ie. What may work well in one region may not work so well in another) If you want stock samsung firmware, the version you install will replace the PDA, CSC and baseband that you have now.

hey thnx for the reply ..
ahan i see ok hmm i sought of got u but still the doubt remains the same which regions firmware should i download now?
My baseband and IMEI denote germany (unlike my CSC which denotes ireland) so should i download the kikkat version for germany or ireland? i reside in UAE so getting firmware of Germany/ireland that wouldnt be an issue ryt?( as i already mentioned the firmware presently in the phone isnt of UAE either n is either of germany or ireland ... so i know geting of a new firmware of these countries shouldnt ceate an issue bt just want to be on the safe side so i am asking u)

So I'm assuming you really want official firmware. I would suggest a custom rom but it's your choice. I don't think installing 4.4.4 official firmware will be a problem, only with the baseband as I mentioned earlier might be a bit hit or miss as it will be chosen for the region where it was released. Also once you install 4.4.4 I'm pretty sure you won't be able to go back to 4.3. The only thing I can suggest if you are certain you want official is try one, then if you face any reception problems or excessive battery drain or something try another one. You are not limited to Germany/Ireland either: By flashing the firmware you download, you replace the PDA, CSC and baseband.

Firstly ya i want the official one coz want to get back my warranty.i know i can unroot to get the warranty back but still i rooted it for being able to get the official fimware on my wish .. but i will surely check with the baseband thing n confirm whether the one i choose will work well i m my region(ie UAE) or not as u said its region specific( that is what u want me to do ryt before proceeding with a baseband Just being sure ..its my first time so want to be clear mate
The question of not being able to go back to 4.3 has confused me like i was willing to back up my current rom so anything as u mentioned arises, i would easily downgrade ! ?
Lastly i am downloading the offical kikkat (from samsung updates.com) so should i back my efs folder and imei as well?any help with that would be gr8

As I've mentioned before when you flash the firmware, everything is included such as baseband
Regarding downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.3, I have read reports saying the bootloader won't allow you to install 4.3 as it is not compatible, but I'm not sure, I've never tried it. Just google and read as much as you can if this is important(being able to downgrade)
Always have a backup of efs folder on your pc. This contains important stuff such as imei.

Hi, I have a question. Recently my phone was updated to latest software 7.1 however i wish to return to marshmallow. This firmware that u have available, will it work for my country Trinidad and Tobago? What are the implications for installing a firmware not meant for your country? Also just for confirmation. The firmware software that I am finding does not match my PDA and CSC number.. Will this be a problem?
Hello everyone..* here is my issue,* I have G935A mobile which was unlocked at version of 6. 0. 1 from* Saudi Arabia.* I flashed it with latest oreo* U firmware,* flashing was successful and the phone runs nicely, but i lost network coverage.* The phone only say emergency call only. <br>
Does this mean my phone become carrier locked?* Is their any help to get back network connection?* Am stuck here please help me
How can this be done? I'd like the stock UK one (BTU service provider I believe?) as currently it's showing as VOD/VOD EUX etc.
Will my data be wiped? Is it really worth changing and going through the hassle? I've always had stock firmwares either out the box or flashed on Odin by myself but this time it didn't remove the carrier stuff.
I did initially flash the latest stock BTU firmware (all 4 files including CSC not home CSC), yet was still met with the carrier apps and the service provider info says VOD, I'm on Three the phone is unlocked but from Vodafone
