[Q] Is my SGS rooted?

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 =)

Debrand Note 8 after bootloader update

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

Question change Vodafone rom 12.0.5.0 ( RKSEUVF) TO 12.0.5.0 (RKSEUXM )

i have to wait the normal 168 hours to unlock my bootloader so my question is, can i download Rom 12.0.5.0 (RKSEUXM) and load to phone memory and update Rom 12.0.5.0 (RKSEUVF) via recovery before unlocking the bootloader, i guess it may reject the update as it has a different ROM reference , install ok, or just brick.

i have debranded my phone (i had your firmare) with xioami tool v2. i do this eith locked bootloader without brick. now i am on last eea version

Thanks for the info, will find and download this prog, then have a go...cheers

unlock bootloader and flash latest eea firmware is the best solution

Hi,
Can you please explain how did you manage to debrand this phone? Which ROM you installed while debranding? Did you loose your data?
Will be grateful for your help and tip.

Huawei P10 Chinese ROM on Global Version?

Hi everyone, sorry if this has been asked before, I'm just curious to find out, I have a Huawei P10 on the way (UK) and was wondering if I could manually update it through the SD card method without Bootloader unlock. I'm not sure if the bootloader is unlocked yet, it should be here tomorrow. I have what I believe is the Harmony OS ROM file (update build VTRLGRP1CHN 10.2.0.0.106) and would like to install it to the P10. I'm not worried about losing GMS, in fact, that's my primary reason for wanting to get the Chinese ROM on it. any advice or help would be greatly appreciated

Question EU to GLOBAL

I have the latest MIUI.EU Rom (12.5.10) right now, If I happen wanting to go back on Global Rom, how can I go back to Global Rom? Is there a tutorial on how? Thanks.​

very easy

It is better to do this procedure with the bootloader unlocked.
Also pay attention to the anti rollback control, where you risk bricking the phone.
If it happens only with the pro version you can act with EDL.
I went from the Vodafone Rom to the European one but it wasn't that simple.
As for the miflash there is a new version of october that works better with the 11t.
