as changing imei in this country is ilegal mate dont think you,ll get any answers on that question mate think its against forum rules to even talk about it

It's illegal in many countries, for good reason too. OP has no need to change their IMEI just because they got their device in another country. If their network uses the frequencies the phone uses, it will work.

Well if you say so then can you answer my other question?

This is illegal and no need for it, if u want to use ur phone in another country just flash the International unlocked stock rom or ur phone country stock rom, thayeof course if ur phone hardware supports it...

Not in every country. For example in Turkey you have to register your imei(for a fee of course) to work within the country. Imei's of phones sold in the country are registered by importer.

[Q] updated phone while on holiday in Asia broke s note

Hi
Just got back to UK from holiday in Asia
Now S Note is broken, just crashes. I think this is connected to language selection.
I have 2 downloaded input languages for samsung keyboard, English UK and Thai but cannot delete either. other languages i download can be deleted.
There are 2 possible reasons for the Thai having being downloaded
The guy where I bought the local sim in Bangkok downloaded it or the more likely reason of a major update being installed while in Bangkok.
I have tried factory reset but Thai still downloaded.
any ideas how I can remove Thai download?
phone details are:
Note 2 n7105
android: 4.1.2
baseband: N7105NEDMJ2
Build Number: JZ054KN7105XXDMJ1
Thanks for any help.

Many thanks

U can check your csc And see what's your phone sales code. U can change the sakes code by entering a code in the phone dialer and then update the firmware. Cant remember of u need root

LG E975 - No LTE Option

Hello Everyone,
Hopefully this issue can be solved, as I'm using stock Android JB 4.1.2 (E97510h-EUR-XX) on my device and there is no LTE option in:
- System Settings> More...> Mobile Networks> Network Mode
Now, I believe it can be enabled by making a change to persist.radio.lteon as found here:
- https://community.vodafone.ie/t5/Network/Supported-4G-Phones/td-p/137830/page/1
However, it requires root access and as far as I'm aware, there is no root exploit for E97510h-EUR-XX at this time:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249033&page=2
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163814&page=5
Here are my questions:
1. Is there any method to replace or edit persist.radio.lteon without rooting my device?
2. If 1 is not an option, is there any method to successfully root my device?
3. If 2 is possible, can I unroot and will this process be undetectable?
Any help is much appreciated :good:

He hasn't bought a Korean Optimus G, but an E975. But for some reason if you put a SIM card from one carrier in the phone you cannot choose LTE, but if you put in a SIM from a different carrier you get the option to choose LTE. That's because LG has had the brilliant idea to block LTE for some carriers on an LTE enabled phone.
You can try contacting LG so they release an update so that LTE will be enabled for your carrier, but it would be faster to root your phone and adjust the build.prop like you said in the first post.

doesnt matter where mobile is form .. dont u see i bought from korea and europe soft was working but no lte so why he cant put korean onto european ?!?!?! it will still work + with lte enabled ..
contact lg god .. it is not down to them how do u want contact them and yeah they will tell you omg we are sooo sooryy we will correct it for you .. fkin pathetic .. they will crap on u .. man
lg doesn't block nobody .. the carrier needs send u setting .. dont u remember when 3g came up they been sending settings over SMS ? APN settings and MMS settings ? nowdays it is up to carrier send update over network NOT via sms .. and those carriers who has settings ready then 4g doesnt work ..

Why bother putting Korean software on your European phone and risk having a bad experience (due to the fact that Korean software is guess what optimized for Korean carriers)? When you can just root your device and change the build .prop which is less trouble and less risky to perform than to put a Korean software on it.
But to answer the question of the TS. You can root the E975 10 H firmware. I used Framaroot, and it works fine. You can read all about in the thread FAQ (Freaking Annoying Questions) in the Q and A section.

risky ? how can be risky .. so people here happily flashing third party roms and that's alright and when try to use original official rom then is risky ????! man are you OK?
optimized for their carriers ? no .. only APPS are included .. and those apps can be easily ignored ..
i think that your buildprop editing is risky .. ordinary people wont be messing with customizing files
wait for carrier till end of march then
I dont need to read nothing for me all working am enjoying LTE(4G) u dont it is your problem what u do ..
do what u want ..

Chill out dude. I'm only trying to help the TS out. He didn't ask anything about flashing a ROM, only to solve his problem with or without root.
Flashing any custom ROM is more risky than rooting a device. As it involves more steps then just rooting. So why make it hard for yourself?
Flashing a Korean ROM would mean flashing a KDZ file (that's the way I changed the E975 10 H back to E975 10 D) and that process probably changes the baseband of your phone(which is not the right one for the E975), so it could definitely influence the experience and battery life, etc.
You say that ordinary people won't mess with the build.prop file but they won't have any problem with flashing a Korean ROM?
BTW: There is no need in quoting the very last post everytime you make a comment, as it is clear what you're replying on.

That quote button has reason to be there .. that is why am using it ... And people know which answer belongs to particular person ..
for me is easy flash kdz ... and then obviously u need to flash modem back .. that is not hard too ..
And u are right in only one thing .. yes when people changing roms flashing then phone drains battery .. yes when I converted to E975 my F180S battery was very very bad .. I flashed original korean back and battery is much much better .
Like I said you can try korean if no leave it and wait for carrier to sort it out .. but they have time tho

No one here recommends to flash korean kdz in international versions nd vice versa too... Try some othr rooting methods nd try to change the build.prop.... Have yu tried moto chopper root method...??
Edit: looks lyk moto chopper method doesn't help yu... Yu cant yu downgrade ur software nd root it....

[Q] How do i unlock sprint samsung tab S ?

Hello,
As the title says, How do i unlock my Samsung tab S from Sprint so that i can use it on AT&T or internationally? I've searched all over google and this forum itself but i couldn't find a post that explains how. Is it possible to unlock this device by adb or other methods of unlocking such as editing the hex? Any help is very appreciated!
I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong sub forum or anything. I'm new here.
Best regards.

Possibilities
This is what I found out:
The chip in my Sprint Note 3 and Samsung Tab S 10.5 is similar and when compared the base bands were different. I unlocked my Note 3 using SSU. I tried the same on the Tab S it did say unlock but nothing happened when I installed a Local SIM ( Airtel )
The other thing I would like to point out is that SM-T807V, SM-T807R4 and SM-T807P all use the same chipsets i.e, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, and one has the possibility to choose the GSM/Global-Mode on the SM-T807V( Verizon ) I am not aware of the U.S Cellular (i.e,SM-T807R4) though. If someone could shed some light on that.
So I would assume there are 2 ways to go ahead with this, one would either be to downgrade the baseband to that of the Note 3 then install Android 4.4.2 and then use SSU to unlock ( not to sure on this method just gave it a thought though ) and the other would be to flash the ROM on the SM-T807P with the Stock ROM of the SM-807V but then we are road blocked by the Kernal so possibly we might need to fabricate a new Kernal for this.
This is my first post on xda Hope what I said has helped. Do let me know if anyone has any development on this because I am stuck too.

Several issues with the plan.
You are unlikely to be able to flash the baseband from the Note3. There is no firmware available for the t807v and no source code.

How about the SM-T807R4 ? Can we use that ?

I'd be pretty sure the bootloader would reject it.

But doesn't the SM-T807P have an unlocked bootloader?

It does, but the carrier versions seem to be more picky with what they'll flash.
The only way is to try it. Make a twrp backup then go for it.

why the the Exynos 5420 is so bad compare to the qualcomm snapdragon when it comes to optimization?

Sorry, I am new to all that but i could give it a try. I'll let you know sometime in December the Tab has gone in for a service, the battery seems to have expanded and my top left screen has poped out and then the touch stopped working and my screen went all gibberish.

Hey i had called sprint and all they told me was that this device isn't ment for global use and it only supports CDMA and LTE, and that was a shocker because the verizon one supports global use

Has anyone come up with an unlock for this yet ? I am stuck with a locked device ??

Noob asking for help updating from 4.4.4 to 5.1+

Hello!
I am a developer in New Zealand with a USA AT&T Samsung Note 4 sent to me by Oculus in 2014.
Sorry for being a noob with this stuff!
The phone has been unlocked to work on the New Zealand Vodafone network - for this reason (from what I understand) the AT&T Android updates do not work "Your device is up to date!".
A 360 VR video plugin I need to use requires Android 5.1+ but my phone is 4.4.4.
Is there a simple guide somewhere that I can follow to update my AT&T Note 4?
I do not care if it wipes any AT&T stuff - or are the different provider's versions of this phone actually different hardware-wise?
I've tried searching but lacking some of the terminology needed to get it done. It all seems needlessly complex just to update the OS...
I contacted Oculus support who forwarded me to Samsung support who told me to try "Smart Switch" PC software, which said my phone was up to date. Contacted them again and they told me to take the phone to a Samsung service center in Albany 30 minutes drive away. I'll try this if I have to.
Thanks!

Edit: My model number is SM-N910A
