Hi Guys,
What would be the consequences of flashing JG1 firmware on an Australian bought (From Optus / Singtel) Samsung Galaxy S.
Is it possible to do this and if not is it possible to do this with other firmwares as i wish to root this device and load custom roms.
Thanks,
Draco
Should be fine... I'm got mine on optus too and flashed JFB, worked fine.
Only thing is, I think I'm actually getting more stalls and worse battery life with this firmware. However it's hard to tell if an app/apps are causing it or whether it's the firmware.
I did also flash my optus galaxy .
I used the JFF firmware.
I didnt get any problem during the flash.
But it doesn't mean that it solves the tremendous issues of my phone ....
I think the current one is fine for the present time i might wait until i see some more reviews on the new firmware before I bother to change anything. I also found out the handsets on contract are all unlocked so no issues there.
Cheers,
Draco
just ordered mine today from optus lets see how it goes !!

I have a question...I have flashed Optus froyo by patching the Kies...Does it lock my phone to Optus...Mine is unlocked phone but I am confused on this point after flashing to Optus firmware...I haven't got a chance to test with other SIM...I was on ZSJF5 eclairs
nope. It only installs optus branding, links and apps which can be removed via titanium backup with root. Optus Galaxies have never been sim locked. As far as I know only prepaid phones in AU are locked by law or something like that.
Thanks a zillion...
Hello,
New poster here and I could not find anything on any other threads so I started a new one.
I bought a second hand phone that had previously been unlocked. It was originally locked to Bell and then unlocked afterwards. I used it on MTS for a while and then gave it to a friend to use on Telus but when he put in his sim card it gave the notification "Phone not allowed MM #6"
I did some reading and it seems like that means that the IMEI is blocked but that can't be the case as I can fully use it on MTS.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem and use it on Telus?
If you need any more information just ask and I will try to get it to you asap.
Thanks for your help!
Hallo, I recently bought this phone on ebay that I knew blocked t-mobile uk, I upgraded the firmware nobrand, I changed kernel, csc, I tried all apps unlock but I could not, where is the block?
Please anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hi all, I've recently purchased my P10 which was locked to UK EE network. My SIM is on Three. A purchased a SIM Unlock code, but unfortunately it comes back as unsuccessful each time.
My question is whether this has anything to do with the firmware I flashed? I initially upgraded it to the Oreo release based on the instructions in this forum, then flashed a treble image. Would I have to simply revert back to the original firmware in order for the SIM Unlock to work?
Please help as I need this device working.
TIA
