My friends Wave is on the latest Version of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068735
Now he has Problems (Phone does not work with Sim Card) and he wants to let it repair.
How to get to the latest official Firmware?
The SIM problem may not necessarily be because of flashing to any firmware (original or modified). But you can flash back your phone to any earlier full firmware of your region. Hard-reset phone. Then connect to kies. If there is an upgrade for your region, kies will upgrade your phone.
If you still experience problems after flashing with an original firmware (not modified), please try to state in details what firmware you had before the first flashing.
And I hope your phone is not network locked...yes?
No its not Network locked but it had Vodafone Branding. Okay i will try updating over Kies.

Hi guys, I am not new to android, I daily flash my Samsung Nexus via CWM all the time.
However, My dad recently went to india and i believe got his phone unlocked their for Indian sim cards to work.
Now if they flashed a indian rom on the phone as well, How do i flash the native BELL rom? also, How do i unlock this?
I read around one has to download multiloader and find the Bell Flash file, or whatever the stock one is that Bell gives out in Canada.
Can anyone help me with this? I'm new to this area of XDA. Basically I need a Bell stock flash file, and need to network lock his sim card back to Bell again.
Cheers
Ok So from reading around it seems like I should do the following:
-Download Multiloader--- Done
- Download Bell Software from SAMFIRMARE, Im downloading the Firmwares for GT-S8500M - Canada (Bell)? is that right one?
- Follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759424 guide to flash my firmware,
and then I should have my dads phone back and on the Bell network right in Canada?
Please give more details so that it is easier to understand you and offer solution.
If I guess right, your dad's phone is Samsung WAVE 8500? And that the phone is completely unlocked now?
If the answer is affirmative, then there is no need to lock it back again to Bell Network. An unlocked phone can be used with any SIM card.
And as the phone was originally of BELL network, just go to Sammobile and download the Canadian firmware for S8500 (WAVE).
Flash your phone with the downloaded firmware and start using it. You don't have to LOCK for it to work with BELL.
The above is only if your dad's phone is WAVE and originally of BELL network. If not, please give more details.
Hey thanks spacks. It was originally from Bell. So if it was flashed to some firmware for india, I will just flash it back to the Bell firmware.
Right now its locked to his India cell phone carrier, So i should probably flash the bell rom to put him back on his original network.
If i run into problems I will post back here, as I am leaving for work now
Edit** If the phone is just locked to the indian carrier, How can i UNLOCK it without flashing a new firmware??

Ok i tried the first step to flash the boot files BUT now running into a issue, the laptop wont detect the samsung phone anymore, I tried reinstalling and updating drivers and uninstalling them, Can anyone help me? The phone boots up to the "Samsung Wave I8500M" logo screen but freezes...I really need to flash this Bell firmware asap.

This is not going well as expected :S
Go to SamMobile and download the canadian fw available there and flash it
Then try again with the flock to unlock your phone

Hey it's okay! I fixed it the driver was somehow corrupt, so I downloaded Samsung kies, everything is fixed. Flashed the Canadian firmware last night.
However, is there any way to get BADA 2.0 on the Canadian wave?? Any flash files? I can't find anything.....I hate when they delay updates!

Can I flash stock firmware via odin form diffrent country?
I have bought tablet in US. Now i want to gift this tablet to my brother, but he only speak in polish language
So I have SM-T800 with T800XXU1BOE2 firmware. XAR region.
I want to flash T800XXU1ANEB_T800XEO1ANE2_XEO via odin.
The reason for this change is lack of polish language in my current firmware.
Thanks in advance
Yes as long as the bootloader isn't locked and the roms use the same platform, ie exynos or Qualcomm.
However there may be issues with mobile data.
This is Wi-FI version, so this problem doesnt concern me. i think bootloader will not be a problem to unlock.
How can i check platform in firmware i have downloaded? (from sammobile.com for sm-t800 model, there was 3 diffrent i have picked the one with kies icon enabled).

You wont be able to unlock the bootloader, but no worries you have the exynos wifi version so you dont have a locked bootloader anyway.
No Point
Just flash the U.S. one and change the language to Polish
My friend's AT&T Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) was unlocked at 4.1.1 stock and now I installed Resurrection Remix (7.1.1). Now when I insert my sim there is no network but it recognises that there's a SIM but no carrier or whatsoever
Is my phone now locked or unlocked?
I live in India
Baseband - I747UCDLK3
Bootloader - I747UCDLK3
I have to return the phone by 10th March
I'm a novice, however in my experience once the phone is unlocked it stays unlocked no matter what rom you install. Perhaps another rom may work better in your situation. LineageOS seem to work well for my needs (with unlocked phone) and you should give it (or others) a try.
You may have lost the IMEI and will have to ODIN back to stock to try to get it back. Also, you can search for IMEI in the forums.
Check in about phone status under settings to confirm you lost the IMEI before all this.
I would flash it back to stock 4.1.1 from Sammobile.com with Odin.
7.1.1 roms will require the latest bootloader and modem to work.
It may be too late now but your main reason for lack of success is your "bootloader_modem" you are currently 5 or 6 places behind the latest release! Its very old and these ROMs require the latest bootloaders: I747UCUFNJ2 for Android version 4.4.2. Check out "enewmam17" threads on XDA for how-to and links to .zip files. Hope this is not too late to help in any case it's good for future reference.

I bought a A50 from ebay it was a SM-A505F/DS unlocked etc its a 4GB 128GB model
now i downloaded the xeu firmware for the UK and flashed via oden and everything flashed and it worked but when I try to check for updates it says processing failed when checking for updates
IT DOES NOT EVEN REGISTER TO THE UPDATE SERVER.
I TRIED WITH THE VODAFONE UK FIRMWARE O2 FIRMWARE BTU FIRMWARE AND XEU FIRMWARE ALL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE
this phone is an XSG model the firmware i used was from the SM-A505FN phone
why does everything work but updates anyone know how to resolve this.
Well if it does not work then you should keep your eye on the samsung's official galaxy a50 development page, and if update is available download the firmware and flash it with odin... Dont worry none of your data will be gone.. and btw if your bootloader is unlocked you wont get updates..

How do you expect it to work by flashing the wrong firmware? You’re flashing a NFC model firmware on a Non-NFC model. Download the desired region firmware for A505F, Remove your sim and flash the firm via Odin.
Can someone please help me find and flash my E5372 to an original Firmware?
I have an unlocked version from Bouygues telecom France that I flashed with Custom 21.290.23.00.00 firmware by ValdikSS. I want to get it back to an official international firmware and make sure all installed apps will also be erased. I re flashed it with the custom firmware, but the online partition /online/opt with all software I installed remain intact and was not deleted.
What I want to do in one word is getting it back to it's original state
Edit: problem fixed, I was able to find firmware and help here
