So, I have a Lumia 920 and I want to install a xap that is published on a specific country (not US).
I've tried downloading it manually and sending it via e-mail but it says it can not install this "enterprise" app.
I have the phone dev-unlocked and I can install xaps I create myself.
What are my options apart from cannibalizing my MS Account (change region to that country for 3 months) or hard resetting the phone with another account?
Thanks in advance.
PS: To be clear, it's a banking app from that country and it's free. I just happen to live in an other country and they are not publishing it here.
just change region in setting (no hard reset needed) and install app... after you done you can change to your region again... i install many apps from others regions without problems and work fine after that in my region
... so easy!!!
Thank you very much!

Good day,
I'm trying to download many applications and always get the following...
"Device's country is not supported"
Used market unlock with no vain.
How can I overcome this issue?!
Help is highly appreciated.
Try to flash other Firmware version. like KL8........
root and install market enabler then use any of European countries or the USA presets. Works for me in android market and samsung apps
I got this unit, relatively cheaply, in china. I realised it was rooted on two items: superuser was installed, and when keeping the start button depressed it came up with some chinese menu for shutdown, even though the os language was set to english.
I could set up my google account without problems, but i couldnt access the market. It was as if they used a short cut with an android market icon. Having said that, when i went to the market website online, i couldnt sign in on that. My non rooted htc phone has no problems accessing the market.
Interestingly, when i connected to wifi it popped up a softwarenudate notification, which it couldnt download due to absence of a SIM card (i didnt put my sim card in it yet)
Any thoughts/comments/suggestions?
What is your usage location?
what version of ROm you have? (setting - about phone)
you have to see there
baseband version ?
Build version?
Kernel version ?
Right, i managed to get the market working by performing a factory reset.
Baseband version=N7000XXKJ6
Kernel=2.6.35.7-N7000ZSKK1-CL706440
Build=GINGERBREAD.ZSKK1
Right now i found that the problems i ave with this build, is that any firmware updates cannot be installed (i get a registration error message, and yes, i did register the unit with samsung).
It also contains several chinese apps that i cannot uninstall and are a nuisance.
One is called 360-something (its in chinese which i dont read), another one is called Gexin. Both apps actually report new messages.
There is also a QQ security app running (i know QQ is very popular in asia).
Ideally id like to have a UK or US original firmware, so i can update to ICS when it comes out in the next month or so. But a modified US orUK rom would probably do as well if necessary.

Well am not sure about this forum. i read that Odin is not available for Mac. So please read carefully before flashing
Hi,
These are probably newbies questions but I could not find a definitive answer for them. Basically, I think I am having some mismatch between my CSC code and my location.
I bought my GT-N7000 in Senegal (where I live) a bit more than a year ago, with a GB ROM. A couple of weeks afterwards, I received an OTA update (pushed) without any issue, apparently the last one on GB. Then the Note was caught in a storm and the motherboard was fried. The local after-sales service ordered a new motherboard, which was installed in August. Since then, I have not received a single OTA notification.
A few weeks ago, I tried to force OTA to check updates, but I keep getting a Server connection error. I installed Kies but am then getting the Device not supported error, though I have not rooted the phone or changed anything from the stock base. I also tried both processes while visiting in France, using a French (Bouygues) sim card but with a similar result.
The *#1234# maneuver gives the following:
PDA: N7000UBKK8
Phone: N7000UBKK3
CSC: N7000CHOKK3
The CHO CSC code is confirmed on Kies. Apparently, this is a code for Chile, so I don't quite understand why I would have it for a Senegalese phone. When using the 272 + IMEI code, I also get the CHO code, with no alternative choice.
I tried looking through various sources, here and on SM, but cannot find any confirmation as to what the CSC code for Senegal should be (i.e some national code or a regional / open one), as I did not check this with my initial motherboard.
The local after sales service has no idea about any of this ("you should not try to update too much via OTA, your will fry your motor") and they suggest the current GB 2.3.6 ROM is indeed the latest one available here. So my questions are:
1. Is there a way to confirm this latter assertion?
2. In case there is in fact a newer stock ROM but the CHO "discrepancy" (provided it is indeed a mismatch) prevents it from being reachable on OTA and Kies, to which code should I change my CSC to make them available again?
3. Should this change not be possible (or the CHO code be the correct one), which ROM (most likely JB) should I use via Odin to be sure I will still be able to use any and all of my local setup. Since there is no reliable Wifi here, I have to rely on 3G (this gets all the more tricky since I am using a small operator (Expresso) instead of the large Orange one) so losing the expresso APN in the flashing process is not an option (I understand crashing APNs can be a drawback of flashing non-national ROMs on Odin, maybe I'm wrong).
Sorry if this is all very basic, but not finding any specific, local info is getting a bit frustrating
Thanks
You can try CSC Changer from play store but i doubt that you will find csc for your country there, even if you do and you choose it, it will format your phone. JB update is available in Africa but not in your country, nearest one being south africa and kenya. You can flash firmware for any of these countries. Regarding APN Settings: if you are rooted used TBP to backup your APN settings or even My Backup Pro can also backup your APN Settings which you can restore after flashing firmware for any of the 2 countries mentioned above.
Make sure to format everything from recovery (ofcourse after backup) and flash JB using Odin.
Good Luck!!!
Cheers!!!
Hi all!
I need to record calls due to professional reasons and I don't manage to acheive it.
My phone has it's original european rom and I don't want to root it.
Does any one knows any app that could allow me to record calls?
In my previous phone I used Total Recall that worked fine, but I dont managed to make it work with the A51.
Any help is appreciated.
the acr call recording app
Hello,
you can try this app: ACR (Another Call Recorder)
It´s available in the play store and the free version should do all the things you need. For more specifications you can use the paid version.
As i read in the commends you should play a bit around with the microfon settings because of the volume of the incomming voice.

to get a record of calls from the line (high quality). you need to change the firmware region. There are three regions in which call recording and Samsung Pay work simultaneously. India, Thailand, Vietnam. If you need the Samsung Pay to work, you need to configure it before manipulating (I recommend that before these actions, configure everything that you use, for example, payment, biometrics, etc.). After setting up Samsung Pay & etc. (if you need it of course), download any of the firmware (India, Thailand, Vietnam), take only one file from the firmware - "HOME_CSC ....." Next, we need a computer with the Samsung driver installed and the program ODIN. run ODIN on the computer with administrator rights. connect the phone. insert the HOME_CSC file ... in the program one into the CSC window and flash it. !!!important. ODIN program and firmware file must be located in the root of the disk, otherwise there may be errors. SIM card should not be on the phone. !!! I also advise you to backup, just in case. but nothing should be lost. maybe after the firmware several regional applications will appear - disconnect or delete. Regional holidays may appear on the calendar - go to the phone menu - settings - applications - calendar - reset the application, clear the cache. for clarity, watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzVksyLJH6U&t=1111s (start watching 8.25 minutes) video for example, there is too much that we don’t need. follow only my instructions, I repeat, there are inaccuracies in the video - it is just for a good example. good luck! Have a good mood! let it all work for you!
P.S.!!! You do not need to unlock anything. no need to put a tick anywhere and unlock the bootloader! You just need to turn off the phone, then enter boot mode and flash this file. all!
P.P.S. Your firmware should have an identical version of the bootloader. bootloader versions must match. an example is A515FXXU3ATC3 - the bootloader version is the fifth digit from the end, i.e. here in the example, the third bootloader. you can have any, you need the same firmware - download the appropriate one. If in the future you want to receive updates over the air, do the procedure in the opposite direction - flash the file back from your own firmware, update. then you can again flash a new file from India, Thailand or Vietnam. you can also flash the entire firmware of these countries, but there will be no updates by air until you return to your firmware and most importantly you will have to configure the phone. when flashing a single file, configuration is not required.
P.P.P.S. from programs that record from the microphone, the best recording is obtained from the Cube ACR program (you need to add an increase in clarity in the settings) the bad thing is that the recording quality is still worse and this is an extra application that has its own permissions.
Thank you. It works. But the issue I am facing the facial recognition not working, while registering the face it failed..
Hi YOisuPU,
Thanks for your huge help.
Let me see if I understand well: once i flash the file "HOME_CSC ....." i will no longer get the OTA updates?
Where can I download the firmware (India, Thailand, Vietnam) ?

Until recently, it was believed that in order to receive updates by air, you need to repeat the operation in the reverse order, that is, flash your own HOME_CSC .. get updates .. and then flash HOME_CSC India, Thailand, Vietnam again. Now I get messages that updates are arriving to someone in this state, since most firmwares are inter-regional and differ only in the presence of local applications. I conclude - that everything happens on an individual basis, perhaps an update will arrive and the recording of calls will also remain in place or maybe not. but if the update doesn’t arrive for a very long time, we know what to do. we can download the firmware ourselves and update it all through odin. and then install HOME_CSC India, Thailand, Vietnam again. or we can install the full firmware of India, Thailand, Vietnam and download the updates each time independently. To save your data, make a backup or just flash HOME_CSC. In general, there are two files in the downloaded firmware, flash one of them 1) HOME_CSC - your data will remain in the phone 2) CSC - your data will be deleted - the phone will be like new from the store. firmware can be downloaded https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a51/firmware/#SM-A515F

never encountered this. I will try to find the answer on the net. I can advise on my own - for any glitches and incomprehensible situations - try reset the application. settings - applications - show system apk - choose the apk you need - cache reset + data reset.
p.s. I recommend that before these actions, configure everything that you use, for example, payment, biometrics, etc.
I know there are guides out there, but I seem to get stuck with all of them.
This one gave me a version of Odin for Mac, but then it turns out you need Heimdall, which only works with "Microsoft Visual C++", which only works on windows.
Download JOdin3 for macOS, Linux, and Windows [Odin for macOS]
Download JOdin3 for macOS X, Linux, and Windows OS - Latest version. JOdin is also known as Samsung Odin for Mac OS and Odin for Linux.

So I tried using a friend's PC and finally got Odin, but that was as far as I got.
This one mentions "pull/push commands" but doesn't explain what they are or how to use them.

How to Change your Samsung Galaxy Watch Region! – Roonby
After the updates of Samsung Galaxy Watches with the latest Firmware, there is a bit problem, where users can’t change their region. It is probably a security measure by Samsung. However, if you are interested in messing around your Samsung Galaxy Watches and wanted to change its region...
roonby.com
The watch was purchased in Italy. Apparently blood pressure and EKG are supposed to be available in the EU as of a month or two ago, but I don't see them. Samsung Pay popped up, but it only offers the option to apply for a Samsung card, which it then says "isn't available." No option to add existing cards.
When I first got it, I set the location to France. I tried wiping it and setting to Germany, but once it was set up again, it was clear it was still set to France. I'm guessing this has something to do with my phone recognizing it once connected? I'm open to changing it to any country where all features work, but ideally Germany or the US.
How did you try to choose Germany as the new region? In your case (you were able to choose a region at first use) it should be possible with a factory reset.

It let's you choose from a bunch of EU countries, but you can't choose just anywhere.
