Hi guys. As you know the OTA for the KitKat version of the One is starting to roll out. Problem is, i bought this Sprint One in the Philippines and currently running a local sim card which works for me. Now i only get GSM when i enable mobile data. I've read several threads about it and its just the way it is i guess. Is this sim unlocked already?
This is rooted and the software version says 'benny's 4.3'. Baseband version is 1.00.20.0913_3. Will i be able to update this OTA or should i wait for someone to make a modded version of KitKat specifically on the Sprint One to be able to use my GSM SIM? Most likely the OTA will be a CDMA version though. Thanks.
HI,
I recently got a Moto x (unlocked and system version 139.4.5ghost_row_LRA.en.us) from ebay. The original carrier was bluegrass cellular and now am using lycamobile sim card on it. It currently has andriod 4.2 on it. I like to upgrade that to 4.4 for couple of reasons. But later i figured out that there is no upgrade available for this system version.
is there any other way i can get kitkat on my device? By rooting or etc???
I read many ways to do this in internet and confused. Am not sure if this system version does matter while rooting or not. Can some one please help me out here and give me step by step instruction to get kitkat?
Hi all,
I bought the Galaxy S6 from AT&T when it came out, but switched over to T-Mobile from AT&T last year. Because of this, I have been unable to get any updates and have been stuck on Android 6.0 when the current release is android 7.0, so I've been thinking of flashing my phone. I was curious as to whether I'm able to flash my G920A with Tmobile's G920T rom? Would it work? And if so, after I flash it, would I be able to receive updates normally from T-mobile's servers, as I'm currently using a T-mobile sim, or would I have to flash every subsequent update?
Thanks
Doubtful, since AT&T has a locked bootloader. If the bootloader was unlocked you might be able to try.

You cannot flash a G920T firmware on a G920A. First off, Odin won't let you because the G920T firmware is only signed to be flashed on the G920T.
And even if you somehow rooted and used FlashFire to force the firmware onto your device, the firmware would brick the device, and without a USB jig or SD card port, the brick would be permanent.

I too am seeking answers on this as I have an SM-920A I brought over to t-mobile. Unlocked the phone, installed the t-mobile SIM and the phone works fine, except, it still has all the old ATT apps I no longer need or desire to be there AND without the T-Mobile apps installed, I cannot use their LTE Signal Booster. Is there any way I can install these t-mobile apps that would have come with the SM-920T load?

Just do this and remove the AT&T apps you don't want completely.

So, what can be done -- if anything--to solve this issue?

Verizon is my carrier and I am upgrading to an S10 from an S7. I bought a new S10 loaded with the first Verizon version of Android 10, G973USQS2CSL1. I want to get rid of the bloatware and go back to Android 9. My plan is to flash the U1 firmware, G973U1UES2BSIV, using all 4 of the U1 files. Then flash the Verizon CSC file from this firmware, G973USQS2BSIV, so I can get the "Advanced Calling" for Verizon. I was going to try to do that on my S7 but never got around to it. Here's a thread I created on the S7 forum that said that's what I would need to do to run the unbranded firmware on the S7 but also have Verizon's Advanced Calling (wifi calling, video call, hd calling). https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/install-verizon-advanced-calling-g930u-t3997525
I noticed the S10 Verizon firmware now has a 5th file, a USERDATA file. Will I need to also flash that?
I wanted to point out, my new phone is currently locked, but Verizon automatically unlocks it after 60 days. https://www.verizon.com/about/consumer-safety/device-unlocking-policy Will it be a problem if I flash the unbranded firmware on a phone that is still locked? Since Verizon is my carrier, I will obviously be using a Verizon SIM card.
Thank for the help.
You can flash any firmware to your phone as long as it's for the U or U1 models as the "U" means Universal. Bought a phone from AT&T? Flash the Sprint or T-mobile firmware without issues. Same for Verizon and other U.S. carriers firmware.
Flashing the unbranded firmware will get rid of the bloatware, but will also get rid of other features like wifi calling, advanced calling, etc. The user data file is just all of Verizon's bloatware and info crap.
As for going back to Android 9, you can do that as long as you're still on the v2 bootloader. If you've upgraded to the v3 bootloader via OTA, you won't be able to return to Android 9.

I'm on v2 bootloader. Have you heard of flashing the VZW CSC file on top of the U1 unbranded firmware? Apparently people have done it on older devices, like the S7, that only took the 4 files when flashing. I'm trying to run unbranded firmware but still have the Verizon Advanced Calling (wifi calling, HD calling, video call).
Okay if you're on bootloader v2 then you can go back to Android 9. I haven't heard of flashing the carrier CSC file with the unbranded U1 firmware. It might work or might also brick your phone.
Help Guys!
I know I am a dumb f**k but I accidently flashed xt1789-01 Firmware on my 04 Model.
I have IMEI and everything showing on my phone.
But my Sim isn't working for weird reasons. (It says the sim card isn't compatible with Verizon)
I wanna revert back to Att but it isn't as easy as upgrading to Pie on my Att z2 force.
It won't letme flash Att back on my att phone. It says wrong firmware (lmfao?).
I guess it says this because of the last update on att model was Oreo 8.1.
And the last one on Verizon was 9.0.
