Update to what? On what firmware you are (baseband and build)? I don't think you can update if you not using at&t sim card and at&t version phone will NOT upgrate to international software.

Hi,
I have a 2nd hand S3 i747m with ver 4.1.2 on it. It is unbranded, rooted and has TWRP on it as well. How can I tell which ver. it is? Or does it even matter when flashing roms? Trying hard not to screw it up ?.
Thanks for any info.
Did anyone of u update to the new firmware > MK*+ from november or new KitKat and got his phone locked by RegionLock ?
This mostly happened when u got a phone from a different region and u use it in other region. For example u buy phone in India and u use it in europe
Thanks
I appreciate the information. I was about to launch KK Russia in my gt-i9192.
Thank you:
Nope....
I am from India and my I9195 is not officially sold here. My schoolmate bought this device 5 months back from UK or Dubai.(Not sure where) It had UK unbranded JellyBean firmware and then I immediately updated it to brazil jb and I never had network issues.
Even with kitkat firmwares I did not face network issues. Do you mean RegionLock results in unidentified networks in other regions? If so then my s4 mini is not locked.
Well RegionLock is official on Note 3 and S5 . Thought our phone will get it too with an update. I am glad it did not
Hi guys,i am the owner of a Galaxy s4 Mini I9195(i don't think i have the Lte option) but i don't know wich update is for 4.4.2 and for this phone.It's bought in Romania and unlocked and the BB is I9195XXUBML4 .My question is,wich stock Rom is for me because software update shows i have up to date firmware?And if i flash it will my phone get locked on that specific carrier again?
You can flash any 4.4.2 firmware with odin
But if i flash any stock Rom from my country with Odin,won't my phone get carrier locked or something?Atm it's unlocked but i'm a bit too scared.
[Q] Note 4 N910A unlocked and outside USA > Can I install TMOBILE Lollipop firmware?
Have a SM-N910A (AT&T) Note 4. I'm using it outside the USA. Already unlocked via CODE.
My question is... Since AT&T Lollipop can not be root and considering I will never use it with AT&T service..
Can I install the TMOBILE lollipop firmware on the SM-N910A (AT&T)? So I can root it? Currently I'm running AT&T 5.0.1 Lollipop but I'm experiencing the Hello Hello bug and out of a sudden today I'm not able to send or reply to SMS.... I'm getting tired of this.
I really appreciate any help.
Tnx.

No, you cannot install any firmware other than AT&T signed firmware
P.S. if it were that simple we wouldnt be trying to get root for the device we'd all just flash some other firmware, and this topic is all over the forums and a little searching goes a long ways
Hi,
I'll be getting a Canadian S9 soon but i have no need for the device and i'll be sending it to my sister in the states (she is on AT&T). I want to know if i'm OK just flashing the latest version of the US firmware to the Canadian device? and what is the CSC of the unlocked version of AT&T in the states? Will she be able to update as usual after that and will Samsung pay work?
Thank you very much in advance.
