Hi everyone!
I would like to ask if, despite having installed the new January update, I could still safely flash an official unbranded firmware ( from the same region) in my branded device (exynoss version) without hard brick it.
I'm asking because I have read many conflicting opinions about the subject.
Thanks in advance!
looks like you Can but don't hold Me to it. I'm leaving Myphone alone I can not afford a Bricked phone

Hello.
I just bought a new Galaxy S phone online. The phone was unlocked (originally T-mobile). The phone has firmware 2.1 update 1. When I run the Samsung Kies utility, it tells me that there is an update for the phone (probably firmware 2.2). If I update the phone will it continue to work or it will become locked again?
Sorry if the question sounds stupid but I am a newbie to this and I don't want to mess something up. Is there a way to backup the existing firmware so that if anything goes wrong I can restore it?
Thanks
I bought SGS that was unlocked from orange (UK) then sold in another country (mine)...
1. Does unlocking procedure include rooting?
2. Is this prohibits me from getting official update through Kies?
A simple yes/no will do, although if u answer no plz help me out and explain
(had a hd2 before this one, did some rom flashing.., never did unlocking though)
Unlocked and rooted are two different things and neither should affect kies offering an update.
Sent from my GT-I9003 using XDA App
hopr this helps!!

1.No..(flash via odin to some unlocked firmware)
2.It depends..(ie) if for the previous problem, you flash a firmware not from your region then no your kies wont be able to give you an official update.. so download a region specific firmware( for ex dd means india, dx means singapore. find ur region code). Instead of this i'd suggest you to go to samfirmware.com and get the best rom.
thank you for replies
i found out my firmware is I9000XWJV1 which could also be found in official sources, so i supose it should be available for me to use official updates...
still is there a way for me to know if the phone is with stock/retail firmware or its rooted with a rom thats just almost as stock?
sry if i may sound silly at any point, im new to samsung rooting and stuff
kies says:
"This version of your device cannot be updated.
Current firmware version DA:JV1 / PHONE:JVE?CSC:J
Can you tell me if it means i wont get updates ever, or just couse now its not available?
Nevermind, i found uot myself.. google almighty =)
Hi all,
I'm running a Huawei P9 with a build number of L19C900B190. I am not rooted, bootloader locked. Having an insane time trying to find a way to upgrade from Marshmallow to Nougat. I can't find any other C900 firmwares, so is it impossible for me to upgrade? In my desperation I have finally resorted to opening a new thread. Which regions received the C900 firmware? I am based in Singapore.
I understand another method i can go is to unlock my bootloader, root my phone, flash another oem firmware like C636 or whatever and then upgrade to Nougat. However I am trying to find a method that can keep my warranty intact as my device is just a few weeks old. If anyone can point out a firmware i can flash Nougat for my phone type via the dload method, I would be really grateful.
Oops. Sorry mods could you delete this thread, moving to questions and answers part of the forum.
You flashed a wrong update file then you got c900. Which cXXX were you using when you buy your phone? You should find it and flash it. C900 is cross flash code, no region for it.
Good evening,
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Note 9 (unlocked) from Three UK, and for various reasons I'd like to remove the carrier firmware and switch to the factory Samsung software (I've noticed several bugs and slowdowns and want to rule out the branded firmware).
I don't have access to a PC so i'm hoping I can do this with JOdin3 on my Mac.
My phone is version N960FXXU2CRLT
Can anyone help me with the correct unbranded files for the UK, and whether this is still possible to do on Mac?

So your one ONE UI PIE 9 ? You will need this firmware BTU as that's unbranded see this link sammoble sucks link! https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy/SM-N960F/BTU/
Thanks. Does it matter that the phone version is different?
(Mine ends CRLT)
I assume that once done, I'll be able to update OTA as normal?
Hello
I bought a Mi 9 last week, and an update was offered out of the box. It was 11.0.6.0(QFAEUVF) and I installed it. I've done a little research since then and the VF stands for Vodafone. My problem is that I don't have anything to do with Vodafone. My SIM card is from another provider (Telenor). The phone works great and I don't have any problem at all, but is it something I should worry about? I'm afraid I won't be able to upgrade to MIUI 12.
Can I just download and install the offical EU rom on my phone without unlocking the bootloader, TWRP and do other things i'm not familiar with?
For example if I downloaded the 11.0.9.0 QFAEUXM from here could I just simply install it without voiding my 2 year warranty? Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm really New to this stuff
Thanks for reading
