Nice:
It's amazing to see that you had the drive to make an app just for your fellow SGS4G users.
Thanks Alot FB.

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V).
I went through a factory-wipe, update to 2.3.6, root, custom kernel, CM7 install, and now on CM9. It seems to work fine. Except I'm on AT&T!
I just purchased your app. I will try it out in a few hours. If it works, I'll leave a positive review here and on the Play store.

Thank you, but if you're already using your SGH-T959V successfully on AT&T it means that your phone is already unlocked and don't need to attempt to unlock again.

I was *not* using it on AT&T, that is why I bought your app.
The phone was locked to T-Mobile. When I put in my AT&T SIM, it asked for a SIM PIN or something.
With the T-Mobile SIM inserted, I ran your app, wrote down the number, put my AT&T SIM in, typed in the number, then it said "Network Unlocked" (or something like that).
Does this mean the device is unlocked for ANY GSM network (such as Bell or Rogers), or was it telling me that it was unlocked for just the AT&T SIM?

It should work with any compatible GSM network that uses a full-sized SIM card.

Hi, quick question about your App.
There will be soon the SGS4G Google Edition. It will be available only for AT&T and T-Mobile.
I'm from Belgium and I planned to buy the phone during my holidays in the U.S.
Do you think your app will work in this case and unlock the carrier ?
Regards.

Whoever decided to name the phone the Galaxy S 4G picked a bad name. The phone this app is designed for came out in 2011 (SGH-T959V or SGH-T959W), so it will not work on the new 2013 Galaxy S 4.

Will it work on non rooted?

If I rename your file in update.zip will it unlock also a not rooted device?
I tried some other files but unsuccessfully as not signed.
Can I ask which ROM do you suggest for this t959 4g and if it support front camera?
I used to convert avi files from my cheap camera to latest space conscious mp4 h264 on the gt i9000 with official ROM CM10.1 rc5 but often with big files it just slow down, freeze and restart, which parameters of CPU and RAM should I fine tune to achieve video transcoding done? (actually Roman 10 1.5.6)
Thanks
I temporarily rooted with z4mod 1.4 but antivirus alert me of Lena virus, I ignored it but I loose connection shortly using Internet in places never lost before.

This is a native android application available from Google Play, not a flashable zip file.
Are you sure you're using an SGH-T959V or SGH-T959W

Deleted.

idexample said:
Yes it is the 959 but I made the example with my old gt i9000 as it is similar in RAM and spec.
You offered aside your Google Play apk also a zip file in your other thread but I was asking how can I flash it if not rooted ask for zip signature.
About the conversion of videos now I have better results with Mackay ROM, must install yet the latest 2.11.4.

Good luck!

As you work from long time on this device, can I ask you after stock gingerbread what you suggest to put on please?
For non bricked device I will need root and custom recovery, cwm TWRP or other, in other posts I read about Amonra....

Hello,
And thanks for this amazing app. But suddenly it doesnt works for me. I´ll explain.
I´ve purchased one SGH-T959V from Tmobile from ebay. I´ve done the "return to stock rom", root and installed the busybox. When I´ve purchased your app, it downloads but apperas an error message:
Couldnt install on USB storage or SD card.
I´ve tried to install another apps, and they´re installed succesfully.
Could you tell me what can I try?

You can....but its not recommended, and if you do it you are doing it at your own risk.
Also keep in mind that if you update the "Germany ROM" to 4.4.4, you can NEVER go back to the Sprint ROM (safely, without great risk of bricking) until Sprint releases their FULL 4.4.4 SBF. Otherwise you would be "downgrading" which is well documented to put you at an extreme risk of bricking.
Good Luck :good:

Yes. It should work just fine for you, but I don't support anything other than the stock sprint rom with my Sim-Crack.
You might TRY this, first: When you flash the 4.4.2 Germany ROM, depending on whether you are using RSD-Lite or Manual Method either:
1. If using RSD Lite, unzip the SBF for the germany rom, and edit the XML file with Notepad or similar. Erase the 2 lines containing "erase modemst1" and "erase modemst2"
2. If using the manual method, simply skip the two commands "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2".
If you do that, the Sim-Crack should persist and you shouldn't have to re-do the entire procedure after you change ROMS.

German Stock Rom for XT1053 running 4.4.3
Hello,
I just registered to the forums today. Have been lurking for a while but since I finally received my Moto X DE today I have a few questions.
*I hope this won't be regarded as hijacking this thread, i just want to avoid opening a new thread for something that might have been posted already.*
My XT1053 is the US GSM Verison, it has been imported. Therefore it german is no language option in the currently installed ROM.
To be able to use touch control etc. in an effective way (english language per se is not the problem) i want to flash a german Stock ROM.
Best suited one i found on sbf-droid is Android 4.4.2 Blur_Version.163.44.2.ghost_row.Retail.en.DE. But i read often that downgrading may make you run into serious issues, even bricking the device.
I also want to be able to receive the german OTA update to 4.4.4 after flashing to 4.4.2, if that is possible. If that is not possible i would even tend to stay on the US 4.4.3 until there is a flashable 4.4.4 german retail on sbf-droid.
This is the current info on my ROM etc.:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Right now everything is running fine with the ROM, except the language issue. I even have 4G. Also i feel no need to root the device right now because I first want to see how it suits me as it is.
Further i read that SafeStrap is able to install the ROM in a new partition. Maybe this is the most secure way to achieve my goal and havng the chance to easily revert if it goes wrong?
So i already searched for a anser to my question but, honestly, all the information i gathered here somehow got mixed up in my head. Now i would feel way better if someone had a heart to give me a quick advice or just a link to the right method.
[TL;DR:] I have a US GSM XT1053 that is totally untouched and running stock 4.4.3 (212.44.21.ghost_row.Retail.en.US).
I want to install a german retail ROM with the ability to update to german 4.4.4 easily and asap.

You need to wait until the full 4.4.4 German SBF is available to do this without risk of bricking.
The problem is that you are already on 4.4.3 -- if your phone were on 4.4.2 or earlier, it would not be an issue since you would not be downgrading.
You need to hang tight until the 4.4.4 leaked german sbf is released. If you decide to attempt to downgrade, you are doing it at your own risk and may very well end up with a brick.
Good Luck.

Ok, thank you for the confirmation! So i will just sit tight for the next weeks and F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 on sbf-droid constantly
When 4.4.4 shows up there, i might return to this thread for details...

Hello,
after sitting in my cave, waiting for weeks i am back.
Since yesterday i am getting the US 4.4.4 update offered and it is beginning to annoy me.
Therefore i checked again if there is a german 4.4.4 sbf available.
I found this german 4.4.4 sbf (XT1052_RETAIL-DE_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_54_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip) on a filefacctory moto X firmware website that i cannot link due to restrictions.
Is it safe to flash it on my US XT1053 that is currently running completely stock (EXCEPT THAT I SWITCHED TO ART RUNTIME!!!) 212.44.21.ghost_row.Retail.en.US?
Also i currently have LTE with my phone in germany, so it would be nice to keep it that way
.
Does anyone have any tips on how to do it the most secure and easy way? Maybe also doing some sort of backup?

Ok,
i just decided to take the US 4.4.4 OTA for now. I don't really miss german, except for the Touchless Control. I will now stick to the US Version until the german Android L SBF is available. I just dont like to wipe the Phone now and then wipe it again in a month or so when Adndroid L is available.

True indeed. Unfortunately I can't post the link but send me a message if interested. Nevertheless, I will see if I can post a Mega link after some time.

Exynos update is only available in one region, though it’s only a matter of time before the update becomes available to others either through Samsung Kies, an OTA or both methods. To check for the OTA, you can always head to Settings> System> About Device> Software Update.:thumbup::thumbup::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

How to install kazakstan firmware to india s5 exynos octa????
hi i have downloaded the kazakstan firmware and i want to install it to s5 india..
my phone is not rooted
please tell me how can i install the firmware?

I am on my 3rd reinstall, first I upgraded via Odin on top of kitkat, and system was too slow, 2nd I rooted via auto root (It works btw) and apparently I deleted with Titaniun Backup something important and system refused to boot. 3rd reinstall I just rooted and deleted some bloatware and everything is working ok. This is Multilingual btw. overall not so fast no so slow, I use cm12 official nightly in another device and its just a bit slower. Used Sammobile link to get the file

Hi! i downloaded it today and it's running now! works great! i don't know how to root the device with android 5

It works perfectly. Although I tried different versions of the country. Can we root that? Is anyone try to root it?

[Noob Question] Help me identify my Galaxy Note 8

Hi there,
i bought my Note8 around Novemeber 2017 from a UK online reseller: everything was fine, i got it (i live in Italy), it was brand new, sealed, etc
Now the problem: i didn't get any firmware update since then, and i'm still stuck at the August 1, 2017 Android security patch level.
By googling around the Build Number, it appears my phone is actually from South America, but i'm not sure.
Question: can you help me identify where my phone is exactly from?
And if it's from another region, does that impact my ability to get firmware updates?

BTW you should get OTA updates fine if on stock unrooted firmware. My N950F is from the UK (XEU) & I'm in the USA, OTA updates worked fine when I was stock. Some regions/countries get updates slow but yours is an old fw & you should've got an update by now.
You could always flash updated firmwares manually though. When happens when you go to Settings>Software update & check for updates?

ITV/ITV/BRI
Bri = Taiwan? But when i search using the Baseband version, it looks like my phone is from South America.
I keep checking the software update tabs, but it says i'm on the latest firmware:
Current version: N950FXXU1AQI8 / N950FOXM1AQHF / N950FXXU1AQHB (this last one is my Baseband version).

Yes BRI is Taiwan. Baseband version doesn't tell you where the phone originated, it's just the modem version. You can check N950F from other regions with the same baseband version. You can pretty much flash any region N950F firmware, the BRI part will never change though. Just read up on changing CSC, if flashing firmware from a different region, I believe changing CSC will wipe data. Firmware will be pretty much the same though if you flash an unbranded (carrier free) firmware.
Weird that you don't get updates, there's 5 newer firmwares than what you are currently on. Maybe someone else can figure out why updates are not working for you. I wasn't stock for very long so I'm not sure. I waited like 3 days before rooting mine & that was the longest I have ever waited to root since I've had Android phones.

So, if i understood correctly: my note 8 is from Taiwan, and i should have received the latest OTA (N950FXXU3BRA8) but for some unknown reason i'm still stuck at N950FXXU1AQI8.
And what does the ITV / ITV says about it?
Is there a way to find why a device doesn't get an OTA?

Have you tried installing smart switch Samsung app on PC?
That app has an option to update firmware also.

First ITV is the active CSC. Second ITV is the CSC configuration of your SIM card. Since your phone is running OXM firmware which is multi-CSC & includes ITV, when you put your SIM card in it changed to ITV/ITV/BRI.
My phone is originally XEU which is also originally OXM multi-CSC. But I'm on Tmobile USA & the OXM fw does not have TMB CSC. So when my phone was stock it stayed as XEU/XEU/XEU, worked fine but I did not have any Tmobile USA features then.
Check out the following thread, it explains. Not sure if the info is accurate but it makes sense. Says OTA update does depend on carrier so it's your ITV CSC that is preventing OTA update. If you were on a firmware that does not include ITV CSC then OTA would work since your ITV carrier is not allowing it on your phone for whatever reason. But ITV does have all the latest updates so not sure why you are not getting them.
It doesn't really make sense but I say makes sense cause that is consistent with my experience since my phone was getting OTA updates fine when it was XEU/XEU/XEU. Doesn't matter now as I'm rooted so OTA don't work anymore & I'm running TMO CSC. Again not sure if the info is accurate in the thread but check it out.

To me everything is still confusing: if my fw is "multi csc" (and it contains ITV) why it doesn't get the OTA? Who is blocking them?
My network carrier? Samsung? Who esle?
To me, a "multi csc" fw sounds like a "multi region dvd" that works in several regions, and not the other way around.
Anyhow, is there a way to get my phone into a state where i get regular OTA updates without tripping knox or anything like that?
What do i have to do?

Hello,
I am in the same case, but with XEF/XEF/BRI.
Did you found a solution?
Thanks

Thanks for the heads up. Just updated as well, USA and using it now.

Thanks! I'm amazed Samsung bothered to put the last release out just 14 days ago.

I got the update for One UI 4.1.1, but I'm still in Android 12

Google did the same thing on the Pixels, where we were most definitely on "12L"/"12.1" but in software version it still said "12".

Okay
Do you know ho do I disable phantom process killing ? Google should've added option to disable it in developper options, but I can't find it

No, I don't know anything about that. I haven't checked on the Tab S8 Ultra yet, but on my Pixel 6 Pro, there's this option:

Maybe the "Background check" option could also help, if it exists in OneUI?

I got the update yesterday on my S8+ but after the first boot I noticed the black background on the boot branding with the white text was flickering instead of solid and once booted the image quality is way worse, like there's no contrast and a yellow filter over the whole screen.
Rebooting doesn't help and no visual related settings were changed under display nor accessibility, anyone else having this problem?

I've been using Android 12L on my Tab S8 for a couple of days, and so far I am very impressed! The taskbar is the game changer. Opening 2-3 apps on the screen was already possible with the edge bar and split screen on 12, but the process is more simplified and intuitive on 12L. The only issue is that you can't use the taskbar on Nova launcher. Samsung launcher isn't too bad but I much prefer Nova... enjoy!

Oh, wow! No wonder I haven't seen the taskbar since I'm using Nova. That's crazy.

Yea, reading around it sounds like the taskbar doesn't work with any non-stock launcher! So disappointing!

I won't hold my breath, but here's hoping either Samsung will provide a way to use it without their launcher, or someone provides a root way to enable the stock AOSP 12.1/12L taskbar, at least.

If you download the XXV firmware for your exact model number through SamFirm or similar software, then yes.

If you can unlock the bootloader you can flash any firmware you want. Just make sure it's the one for your model.
(your model number may be different)

Flashing stock roms shouldn't need bootloader unlocks. Since EUX is stock rom so it should be flashable anyway without touching bootloader. Because it is stock rom.
Also I'm quite sure I have seen others on here flash other region roms on their devices without needing to unlock bootloader.
Never touch bootloader while warranty is active, doing so voids it.

Okay, I assumed wrong that changing CSC (flashing EUX firmware over top of XXV) would require a bootloader unlock. My mistake! Thank you.
I'll always unlock my bootloader immediately, though. No problems for me in the past 12 years, but to be fair, it was only the past 7 years that I've unlocked bootloaders. Before that, and when I was still on Verizon, I was always using exploits to be able to root my Verizon devices. My main devices for the past 6 have been Pixels except for one brief revisit with a Samsung phone a couple of years ago.

Well CSC is only a region code sort off. But every rom for each CSC is stock rom so the device won't become bricked or having issues flashing any CSC region roms. But if you flash a custom rom that is not stock then bootloader unlock is required. Because those do not contain correct certificate that the stock roms do and which therefore becomes rejected or failed when trying to flash them without unlocking the bootloader. While stock ones will pass through without any issues.
I used to flash custom roms years back when there was a workaround where only root was needed to flash. Then bootloader could stay as locked and such, but it was due to a glitch/exploit being used under root method.
