Hey there,
There have been a recent update for sprint mobile to WM6.1, which (according to some accounts) enables the GPS chip on the Samsung Ace SPH-i325. Unfortunately, us Bell (Ca) decided not to release this update for their networks. Also, if you apply the sprint update to the Ace on a Bell network, it results in a MEID reset.
My question is this: is it possible to just update or enable the GPS chip (firmware update) without installing the sprint mobile WM 6.1 update? Maybe it is possible to selectively isolate the code enabling the GPS chip without the other updates?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi there,
I have purchased a Note II GT-N7100 in the philippines and it's locked to Smart mobile.
I have tried downgrading to version 4.1.1 firmware and attempting the *#197326840# code but that doesn't have the menu's as shown in other threads.
I have also tried the galaxy sim unlock app in playstore but that has a message of:
"Device updated to a new lock systemnot supported yet."
and a note on the webpage
"* Please note that due to different hardware, many LTE/4G devices aren’t supported yet. On some SGS3, SGS4 and Note2, a recent rom update brings a new lock system that can't be unlocked yet. Don't leave bad feedback, we’re working on it, but that’s a complex process that requires time and access to locked devices! *"
Does anyone know of any way to unlock these devices for different carriers as I want to switch to another provider...
Thanks in advance for any help
Hello!!!
This is my first post to the forum and I hope someone can help me.
I currently have a Samsung S3 i747 on Rogers (Canada) which uses the same frequency as AT&T in the states. I want to switch over to Wind which is the equivalent to T-Mobile.
The hardware itself is compatible however I am having trouble enabling the band. I followed the following post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2344627 thoroughly but I am having trouble getting QPST to locate my phone.
The QPST version I have is 2.7 Build 378 and I have tried the newer version but same result.
Through device manager, I can see my phone
Within QPST, I add the new port:
I then get the following message of NO PHONE:
I am at a loss as I do not know what else to do. I can't afford a new phone right now and I do not mind the S3 for all of its problems.
My drivers are up to date. I am on Windows 8.1 as I heard the OS could be the problem but I could be wrong.
Has any one ever been able to enable this band on the S3?
Please help
Hi guys,
I was wondering if someone could offer me a bit of advice.
I have been doing a lot of reading and searching around the forum to find out if its possible to Unlock a Sprint S6 so that I can use it here in the UK.
I have been able to confirm that the radio band my preferred carrier uses is compatible with the phone but beyond that I am struggling.
Is it just a case of me flashing stock s6 uk firmware using odin or will I have pay for one of those SIM unlock codes advertised all over the web, I was able to recently flash and unlock my S4 mini using stock firmware, rooting the phone then running an apk file (cant remember the name)
Has anyone had any success in getting a sprint galaxy S6 unlocked in the past so that it could be used in UK.
I would be grateful for any comments and or pointers in the right direction if I am way of the mark here.
Thanks in advance for reading. Cheers.

You can unlock it using GSM tool
purchasing a New Unlocked Samsung s10 plus SM-G975U1 because i didnt want the bloatware & possibly may switch to different carrier down the road,my carrier is Verizon,just briefly read up on possibly losing some features.
- Wifi Calling
- Real Time Text
- VoLTE ("HD Voice") (Which means data now works while I'm on a phone call)
- Visual Voicemail
Can these all be reinstalled on a unlocked version?Phone comes with Pie 9.Or will i be ok and not lose these.Would updating to Android 10 fix this?

The Android version doesn't matter. As far as I know, you can't get them on the unlocked variant unless you flash a carrier firmware as all that you mentioned above is carrier related. Unless Samsung has put it in the U1 firmware, which I don't think they have.
Is migrating from G975U firmware to G975U1 safe?
Hello friends, how are you?
I have an S10 + / G975U that I got from my father who brought it to me from the USA, originally the device was from the sprint operator, but I paid and unlocked it, everything was removed from the operator and it now works with operators in Brazil, but now I am having an automatic update problem, "The current version of your software is not compatible. Visit a call center" reading this post I thought about migrating to the XAA firmware of the model G975U1, this process will end the problem of updates and had it been clean? can I lose my unlock with this?
I'm sorry if it's not clear, I'm using google translator.
Thanks.
