[Q] Is this mod possible? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

hi guys,i'd like to know if it possible to mod old phones firmware such as nokia 8310/6510 to allow to send more than 160ch sms,and if it is possible how difficult would it be?
I love those phones,and don't use it more because of this limit...
For example the nokia 6310i in the latest firmwares supported 160+ch sms...although 6510 and 8310 don't (I have mine flashed).
Thanks a lot

no one can answer this?

seems possible... assuming the carrier supports it should be possible

The carrier supports.
and as I said 6310i got it supported through firmware updates, so guess it shouldn't be that hard..any clues from where to start?

Just buy the normal Gnex and unlock the bootloader it with ADB (many guides on this) and than flash CWM and a custom ROM.. If you are in the state and want carrier unlock than buy it online or purchase an SIM unlock code for it.
There is no need to hunt down an engineering phone. The nexus was made to be a "dev" phone so you can easily root/mod it.
The only reason to get an Engineering device would be that it potentially could have access to early versions of software updates. My opinion would be though, if you have to ask what is different about it, you should probably just buy a normal version of the device as it would be less likely that you'll ruin the phone.

As I had indicated in the linked thread quoted by Pechkin000, if the engineering bootloader on the Galaxy Nexus is similar to the engineering bootloader on the Nexus One, you have access to many more fastboot commands (although most of them would not be useful to the non-technical user). I would love to have access to an engineering bootloader.

[Q] SCH-R890 same as ???

Since I cannot seem to get the search function to return even results I see in recent posts, I am unable to locate any previous posts that may already answer this.
If I purchase the US Cellular variant of the S4 mini (SCH-R890) should I be able to apply root -- and more importantly CM10.2 -- procedures/how-to's that were made/written for the int'l version (GT-I9195) to my phone?
Using carrier supplied software is a deal-breaker for me, and I am not seeing any information from people saying it is or is NOT compatible.
Does anyone have any info to lend?
(Apologies if this should be in Q&A)
For the time it's probably going to be just root. You can't be the only one with that version

Can anyone speak to the possibility of using the int'l ROM on this phone?
i'm interested to know this as well

I gave up and got a different phone on Verizon, since USC had such a small selection.
Haven't looked again, but I would suspect something might be available now...

Zenfone 2 ZE551ML help

Hello there.
I'm about to receive one of these from Gearbest, and from what I've read, it's likely that it will come with WW software but the device itself it's the CN version.
I already have bookmarked the tutorial to flash everything to WW, but my doubt is, what about LTE bands? Is it really possible to unlock all bands? How?
Is there anything anyone can recommend for this device regarding roms and mods?
Thank you in advance.
I know that the question may be a little noob-ish, or even a bit stupid (I don't know), but please, can anyone help?
its seems that nobody have this phone. Im going to buy one in aliexpress, it looks like a great phone but, without suport.
When and if you two get these phones and depending on what they are which you dont know at the minute, there is a forum for ze551ml which covers everything from bricked devices to changing LCDs

No need to be ironic man, I have my fair share of XDA experience, I just never came across a region-specific device that inspite having the same hardware worldwide, doesn't have all network frequencies available on every baseband... What I asked basically was, is it really possible to have all LTE bands available on a CN device, and secondly, based on users experience here, is there any rom, kernel or mod that you can recommend...

Mine is from Gearbest, it's not a fake, but the problem is... They only sell the CN version of the Zenfone, and what they do to sell it to Euro users is flash the WW version of the firmware but they don't convert the device fully. Anyway, for 123 euros is still not a bad deal, considering its the 4gb ram version.
Thanks for your help

Difference between Galaxy S6 models

Hi All. This is a very specific question. I'd like to know the concrete differences between the many models under "Galaxy S6"
For example, zerofltexx vs zeroltespr. I do know that spr is for Sprint and the other is the International.
But what I want to know is:
- Is there any hardware difference?
- Would I be able to flash a fltexx in a ltespr (I suspect that I won't be able to do calls, but I don't care about that, I just want to know if it would work
correctly for the hardware)
- Is the baseband different?
Thank you!,
John A.
this link might help you:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/sprint-vs-unlocked-one-t3675652
I believe they both have identical hardware. And yes you can flash either XAS or SPR firmware, it works fine from my experience

How to change CSC to US in a galaxy watch 3 SM-R845F?

HI,
it's annoying that some of the features in watch 3 are not available in Germany for at least next 6 months like BP and ECG.
Thus, is it possible to change the watch to US version to make it work?
There are some threads about changing CSC, but none as far as I could find about watch 3...
Many thanks for any help!!!!
SM-R845F is International NON US Version...
US Version for USA is SM-R845U
IMHO same warning like LTE GWA2...
Don't play...
IMHO similar nonsense like GWA2 known:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81683551&postcount=21
+ untested on GW3...
No idea if it makes sense to kill new and expensive device in 5 Minutes...
Best Regards

Many thanks! yes, I said, it's german version, not US version. but the new features are already unlocked in US, therefore wanted to change. But understood that there seems to be no way currently...
I think it's an unacceptable marketing strategy from SAmsung...
many thansk!
If you mean BP/ECG...
Are you 100% sure it is allready available in USA?
For me it looks like Running Gag...
Samsung Health Monitor App work only on South Korea Phone...
And is blocked also on US Phone...
We should try to differ beteen rumours... dreams and Samsungs coming soon...
Btw, I am from Germany...
We can talk via PM in German if you want...
Best Regards

About GW3... look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/samsung-galaxy-watch-3/gw3-region-change-t4148221
1 user confirmed my "modified" files as working for SM-R845F.

Edit 1.
XAR is part of SM-R845U.
It is NOt inside SM-R845F...
