Yesterday I just flashed my first android phone to its latest firmware JM2.i was struggling with it for an hour to find out how to keep "My Account" app while removing all those other craps.It worked fine on my rooted phone after flashed to new firmware but not sure how its on other or without flash.
Moreover,to Australian supplied galaxy s,you can keep your provider apn setting after flashed by using method provided in this forum,try to find "flash without offical csc".Everything works just fluently on my first time flash,without any seeing problems yet.Hope it can help you guys still wonder should flash or not.
there was a thread that have My Account app but the problem is the widget is not working..

Hi,
i bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 about two months ago, i'm from Spain so i'm not sure it is a T-Mobile device. I think the device came with 4.0.1 update of ICS and some weeks agot the device i got 4.0.4 update and then using CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 managed to get root access so i was able to install busybox and UMS application from xda forums. So everything was working fine. About 3 days ago i got an update notification which showed me a message which said "Updates will be provided in the request order preference" or something like this, i repeated the operation some times in order to gt the update but had no luck so i thought i had to wait for 4.1 update to get published.
The curious thing is today, when i woke up i noticed a firmware update was ready to be installed so went through it but the strange thing was when i went to settings to check the version and i saw it was still/again 4.0.4 version of ICS. Also noticed Google Play Books and Google Play Movies got installed so on one hand it seemed everything went fine cause new apps were there but on the other hand 4.0.4 versions was still there. After that, i went to check if i still had root access but i hadn't. Then tried to grant root access again using CF-Root and Odin 1.85 but had no luck, so now it's not possible for me get root access again and i'm also still wondering how is it possible that today's update left the phone with the same Android version as before the update. Does any one has a clue about it all? The only explanation i can find is the phoen came with 4.0 version, first update got me to 4.0.1 and today's update guided me to the 4.0.4 but i'm still wondering why root access is not working as it should.
Hope someone can help. Thanks in advanced!

Hi,
I have a galaxy s4 mini gt-i9515 lte on the three network on the UK. I'm currently running cyanogenmod nightly but wish to flash back to stock for gear compatibility.
I'm having trouble working out the right stock rom.
The only one that matches my baseband is the Spain movistar rom.
Is that right? Will that have me all Spanish? What would happen of I flashed the rom for three? The baseband doesn't match, but I don't know if that's an issue?
Thanks.
I have the same as yourself and after looking on SAMMOBILE and other places I would be wondering what to use too. I'm not sure what the last update 3 have released in the UK but it looks like it might have been XXUAMF5 which you can download from here. I have a copy of it I downloaded last year as a go to stock ROM if I needed it. You can always use Kies to check for updates after.
Excellent, will give that a go. The movistar one appears to have "issues"
RIght, so the H3G one didn't work as I've got an unlocked phone from Carphone Whorehouse. So I had to go with the BTU I9515XXUBML4, and that "works" only my NFC won't turn on and my wireless is INCREDIBLY unstable, just stopping providing any network connections.
Is that likely to be a "Wrong Stock ROM" issue, generic Stock Rom Issue, or an "I've messed my phone up" issue?
Ran just fine on Cyanogenmod, and I had /some/ wifi issues on the original ROM, but not like this...

I doubt you have messed up the phone. There is a collection of ROMs here. Perhaps you need to flash a compatible kernel rather than the CM one. Sounds like you don't need a branded ROM or anything.
Hello everyone!
I have a problem with my brother's Tab. He had one of his friends root it and they installed a custom ROM. Then it stopped working and they asked me to fix it. I managed to reinstall the stock ROM and recovery, the only problem is the baseband. None of the firmwares I found on the internet come from an Italian device, so everytime he tries to make a call it says "Out of service area". The carrier is WIND.
So, how can I fix that? Should I go on an italian forum and ask someone to upload his baseband so I can flash it with ODIN or there's something else? 'cause I also thought about using Kies, but since it has 4.2.2 on it, it won't let me update it, since it's already at the last release available.
Thanks for your help, and please tell me if you need more informations.
My gear VR dosn't work and I'm trying to find latest software version for N910A, because update doesn't work in Europe I have to do it manually.
I could only find stock default soft on this forum
OR what's the name of the latest baseband? My current is default N910AUCU1ANIE so I can google it
I tried using IPVanish to pretend I'm in america but rubbish AT&T updater tells me to wait 24 hours again. (flashing through odin helps to skip that)
I don't know what your trying to do but I know you can change the date on your phone by a day forward after unchecking auto date and time in the settings. Worked for me when I heard at&t had a update out and I already had checked for a ota that day.

You can't do anything unless you have at&t sim card in your phone and you are on at&t network. Otherwise phone will not update, also do to lock bootloader and no root we can't pull update from phone to create current firmware. Your phone is on last avalable official firmware and longest you can't get phone on at&t network or someone find root for this phone you can't update. Sorry for bad news.
Edit: If you in London have Samsung store you can go there and see if they can update your phone true Smart Tool.

Thread cleaned. Keep it on topic folks.

My current is default N910AUCU1ANIE too . Can't update
Hello,
I am currently with Freedom Mobile, but my phone was purchased through Rogers, has the open Network Bands to use the Freedom network, and a new P6 Freedom Mobile SIM Card. My phone is also running as HTC_001.
Before modifying my phone and having to re-do everything I may have done in the past:
Can anyone on either Freedom Mobiles network with their stock RUU confirm they have the Wifi Calling option and it works?
To be able to use services of a carrier, like WiFi calling etc, you MUST be using a firmware that came from that carrier. If freedom issue a specific firmware for the m9 you must use it. If they don't and their phones come "network unlocked/debranded", ie using the 401 firmware, then you should be able to access the WiFi etc on any device. Another example is if you want to use tmobile features then you need a tmobile firmware.
So the question you need to find the answer to is "does freedom carrier have a branded firmware for the m9".
You are correct. Based on my research earlier, I came across that same conclusion.
I think the best/only way to test this however, is a) if someone has a latest version of their branded firmware and can check this or b) I get a TWRP restore and install this on my phone (I assume this is possible and not IMEI restricted) or c) I find another way to get to a stock firmware.
I changed my CID back to the Freedom Mobile one and downloaded the stock TWRP backup from the old Canadian Stock ROM thread, but it is either too large or possibly too old and incompatible with my phone.
I had to use ADB commands through computer to restore, and it looked like it would accept. However, the computer was stuck at "unlock phone screen to continue" and TWRP said "MTP enabled."
Those backups are most likely too old. You can try to find a suitable RUU on easy-firmware or you need to contact llabtoofer's RUU service since at the moment there is no freely available RUU for your phone. The links can be found in the FAQ of the ReadMe thread.

Just a quick update. I ended up aborting this "project" of mine.
Despite using Mac OS, encountering corrupt zip files and other files issues where I would get an 22 RU_HEADER_ERROR, I ended up finding my biggest issue.
My MID was set to OPJA10000, instead of 0PJA10000. This issue caused multiple hours of frustrations. I have now flashed my phone back to stock 4.28.401.3. I will most likely have to reinstall TWRP and restore my previous backup.
On another note, is anyone else unable to find the HTC Mail app in Google Play store? Mine crashes every time I try to reply to emails or create a new one. Google Play Store on the computer shows my M9 is not compatible.
Get rid of Google Chrome. I don't know what's exactly the reason but current chrome versions break the HTC Mail app.

Same for me. Not compatible.
Just an update to this.
They released a new version of HTC Mail v10.70.1031252.
Based on quick trials, this has resolved the recent issues regarding HTC Mail and Google Chrome being at the latest version, regarding crashing when creating a new email or replying, but I have not tested it extensively.
I know this should be a new thread with a proper title instead of piggybacking on an old one, so if a mod can create one (or prefers I do), that would be great.
