I need help, I don't know wtf I was thinking, my sprint s6 is on CPF4 and sim UnLocked, I was going to upgrade to PL3, with Odin, run CF-Auto Root Next, Then TWRP, Then Flash TDH-JR v1.0 .... I Ran CF-Autoroot First like a idiot, I'm rooted on CPF4, tried to go ahead and remain calm and used Flashify to Flash TWRP, only to get stock recovery and if it worked was going to stay on CPF4 and figure something out but, this phone is Sim Unlocked, and I'm starting to worrying I'm going to lose it
UPDATE: SOLVED , NOW ROCKIN DEBLOATED. JAH, ITS BADASS, INSTALLING BLACKED OUT EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW!!! QUESTIONS JUST ASK, OR ILL BE BACK TO TELL WHAT I DID WRONG
Ps: HAHA AND IM STILL UNLOCKED USING METROPCS
Did you get sorted out or do you still need help? Typically if you update an unlocked phone's firmware, you will be locked again and will need to unlock. Not what you want to hear, I am sure, but that is as much as I know on the topic.
not for me. I am using an unlocked S6 Sprint now outside US and have been updating firmware so many times, the phone wont be locked again UNLESS you change the CSC (SPR, XAS...).

Interesting and I did not know that. How would the OP know if it was safe to upgrade? Check that his current (or prior version, not sure where he is in the process) was SPR and then proceed to use a TAR that was the same?

Not necessary either.
I did tried to download different tar files of the same Sprint firmware version which are SPR, XAS,... and guess what? They are exactly the same, even every bit.
That means, OP could flash any csc tar file, as long as its for s6 sprint (g920p***** tar file). The phone stays unlocked still.
The only thing that locked my s6 back was when i used Samsung phone info app to change the CSC. The phone rebooted and locked. I had to unlocked it again and it costed me some bucks...
How did you unlock your phone?

First, thank you guys. Just bought a note 8 WiFi version GT-5110. It is a good device, loved it. I've been researching and reading all over the posts about rooting, install custom rom, firmware and etc... I guess the first thing to do is to root my note 8. So, before I root my device I want to know for sure I can return back to original unmodified stock. I found that I can use ODIN to flush official firmware. However, I checked samMobile for the firmware for my country which is Canada. But I couldn't find. I used toolkit to check my note 8 firmware. It is N5110XXBMC9 and the region is XAC. It is the oldest. Hate it, we are so close to the us but always treated differently, and very thing is more expensive.
Question:
1 Can I just flash US region firmware? Since I have the WiFi, it has nothing to do with the phone and carrier. Or, can someone tried to flush a different region firmware tell me what is the outcome.
2 If I flash an US firmware, will I still able to claim warranty in Canada(just in case).
3 Will Flushing firmware with ODIN increase flush count, even I flush with official stock?
4 Last question, after rooting, will note 8 achieve floating multiwindow like note 10. Or, we are still limited to have to window side by side, but with rooting, we can put more apps to choose.
I know you guys are busy, if anyone can help me or point a useful post for me I would be really appreciated.

I would also like to know the answer to this question as I have a New Zealand international model but the rom is old. Can I flash the UK version which is the most uptodate. (I have the wifi version).
Thanks
I decided to give it a try myself.
I flashed the latest BTU N5110XXBMF2 which worked a treat. I checked and this is what is displayed
Custom Binary Download = No
Current Binary = Samsung Official
System Status = Official
So it worked fine for me.

Hello. I am also having this issue, with a GT-N5110 from canada. May I ask the steps in which you flashed the firmware? Did you do it via Odin?

I just downloaded the firmware and used Odin. It didn't wipe the sdcard it just updated the apps. Its worked well ever since.
I have since updated to N5110XXCMK1 using the same method.

Thanks. I used the same method to flash 4.2.2 on my device. I am also now on xxcmk1.

flash counter
Hi guys! I was looking to know about this. And I got a few question:
1. I want to make sure about the flash counter. If I change to XXCMK1 my rom, the flash counter goes to 1, or would be like the note 8.0 came with that stock room (nothing change in the counter)?
2. It is a little off of the main question but I will ask anyway: have you tried to add icloud email to the native email manager in the XXCMK1 rom? (Asking just in case you did it, since I read that rom is the one that doesnt have problem to set up in the native email manager?
Thank you guys (literally). I will appreciate your answers.

But it did when I used auto cf root afterwards to root the phone.
2. Nope I haven't tried.

I had an issue where I (think) I soft-bricked my device, as I could not get it to boot up, it would get stuck on the "samsung" logo and then display a black screen and go no further. My device is Canadian as well, and was running stock Canadian firmware, but I had rooted it before hand and was attempting to flash firmware from another country.
Well, I ended up downloading the US firmware for 4.2.2 from another thread here on XDA and flashed that in a last attempt to fix it, and it worked! But now I'm running US firmware. Since the KitKat update is now available in Canada, I'm downloading that as we speak and am going to flash it when it's done.

Update: flashing went great, just had to remove the .md5 at the end of the ROM file. Everything seems to be in order.
I didnt see this on the other thread about sim unlock for the original t-mobile S3 so my apologies if this method has been posted before.
I have tested this on SGH-T999L aka theLTE version of the S3 for T-Mobile. I did this on 4.1.2 and it will more likely not work on 4.3. I havent tested it on T999N (Metro PCS version) but if someone does and it works, let us know
1. Go to https://towelroot.com/ and download towelroot. Install it and run it. Now you are rooted.
2. Install RegionLock Away
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551
3. Run it and grant root and reboot and now you are unlocked.
Optional step
4. Update through Kies to 4.3 and it will work despite being rooted (Device Status shows "Official" if rooted through towelroot). Update fails if you do it through the settings so this is the only to update besides odin/flashing
I test it an AT&T Straight Talk and everything was working with LTE
Thanks! I had run Region Lock Away to confirm it was safe to try a while back, but was never able to test if it actually SIM unlocked the device. If it worked on 4.1.2, I think there is a good chance it would also work on 4.3. This needs confirmation though.
Also, SIM unlocking is permanent, so it should remain unlocked regardless of how you update or if you flash any custom roms.
It may also be possible to unlock 4.3 this way, I suggested a couple people to try this but they never replied with any feedback so don't know if it worked or not. This method works on the S4 with 4.3 but I think you have to downgrade the modem if I remember correctly, or it may only be needed for 4.4.2. The same might apply here
I am guessing that you need to have a stock based ROM. I attempted it with Carbon ROM and got "Could not locate CSC data!"
Yup, gotta be stock to unlock, whether you are using a dialer code or any other methods.

So, StockMod or S3Rx should work?
Not sure tbh. The dialer has to be unmodified stock. And I'm not certain if one of the system apps like keystring or factoryapp, or one of the others would be needed. Some custom roms debloated these, not sure about those two. (They probably didnt, but I can't say for sure. ) you could try it, but if it doesn't take, try flashing stock with Odin. Root66 should be ok if you do

I'll give it a try just to see if it works and give feedback,
The patch returns with Successful on S3Rx. I will have to wait til I get home to test it with another Sim card to see if it actually works.

Does not work on 4.3 build NC1.
I get a hold of alot of phones and work at cell phone repair shop so i always try to find ways to unlock them instead of wasting money on unlock codes. On the S4 you have to downgrade the modem and sometimes roms on 4.3/4.4 to unlocked them. So if we can downgrade the modem, i think we can unlock on 4.3.
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
Well, it wont brick, but downgrading the modem simply just doesnt work. No signal or anything. That's why the free unlock no longer works on 4.3.

Hey,
Still a bit of a noob to the whole rooting process and navigating XDA forums, so I'm having trouble finding the information *I think* I should be looking for. Basically, my phone's just begun crashing periodically, multiple times a day: anything from Camera, Process System, Touchwiz Home Launcher, or Samsung Apps have "stopped working" / "not responding" before. Of course, my phone's warranty has expired, but my contract isn't up so an AT&T Store wont re-image it for me :crying:
Even I can tell, at this point, that it's either my OS that's failing, or it's my hardware. I figured the easiest way to test this would be to put some stable CyanogenMod on it.
The information I'm looking for is: "is this possible?"
AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4
SM N910A UCU2DOI2
Currently @ 5.1.1
Thanks for reading,
~Vita.
No it is NOT possible to use any form of custom firmware or to root this device. It has a locked bootloader that has yet to be cracked open and the future of that happening os very bleak to non existant.
As for reimaging the device go to the note 4 at&t general section on the forum and read up on using odin and the 5.1.1 image posted there it will wipe the phone and format yhe system and data partitions and reinstall it like a new phone just like at&t would do or the manufacturer if you sent it to them.
Good luck
Thanks for the response.
Sorry for the dumb question, but isn't Odin able to flash any firmware onto a device? The "locked bootloader" means that only the stock OS may be reinstalled? Why is this...
Also, it seems unlock progress is being made on the N910V. Maybe hope?
Thanks for mentioning Odin, I'll try re-imaging the phone.

Well the problem is the kernel the bootloader prevents the devs from using an unsecure kernel (one not created and signed by at&t) on the phone if one is used the phone stops boot and says it is an unsecure non at&t kernel and to take thenphone to at&t store.
Odin can only write the firmware versiom that is currently on this phone in this case it is 5.1.1 if you flash any other note 4 versoin such as 4.2.2 it will brick.
Sm-910a flash example
Update ver Official at&t 5.1.1 / currently on phone 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 = good
Update ver (downgrade)oficcial at&t 4.2.2 / currently on phone 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 = brick not good or odin fail
Update from another carrier such as tmobile or verizon for 910t 910v 910g = fail (do not attempt)
Until oir boot loader is unlocked there is nothing we can do to mod or use custom firmware on this phone any attempt leads to a brick requiring using odin to re-flash the latest firmware (5.1.1 at this time) in order to make the phone functional again.

So from what I understand, I could use Odin to flash the 4 files which correspond to the specific AT&T 5.1.1 SM-901A version of my phone (which is exactly what I have) to re-image the device and make it functional again. The problem is, I cannot find these devices on sammobile D:
Could someone direct me to these files? Or are they not out because AT&T sucks? Or, what.

I am sure that you are referring to a sim unlock. A sim unlock and unlocked bootloader are two completely different entities. To flash a custom rom you will need to have your bootloader unlocked, which is something that a few of us are currently working on. Until then, no custom roms can be flashed on the att variant Note 4s. Take care
the boot loader says Qualcom secure boot : disabled ?

Flashing with HOME_CSC will wipe your phone, only do this if you want a clean install.
The non-home CSC should leave all the user files untouched.

Nice work...
Installed this with all tools in thread. Appears to take the image, updates Android to 32% then shows "Erasing". Reboots, says something about rebooting for Sim Updates, does this for a few mins. Then updates Android apps and boom, new stock phone no provider junk on it. Very nice. If I find any issues after the phone setup, I will post update, but if nothing, appears this is now a Stock unlocked phone.

Had most recent April Update
No longer on sprint, it's on GoogleFi now, but was unlocked by provider

I'd say oreo, the newer the better for the sake of actually being able to obtain the apks from the google play store.
I was able to run most games just fine with this rom. :good:
Is this specifically for TMobile users? It's just that i noticed it was TMB-$(version_info).
I guess my question is, does it matter if i use this on a Straight Talk phone, or should i suck it up and spend a day downloading the VMU rom from SAMMOBILE?
More specificity, if it matters. Previously i upgraded from stock Straight Talk rom that came with the phone to VMU, with the SM-G930U firmware. I'm looking to upgrade from Nougat to Oreo now though.
Currently my phone is running VMU-G930UUES4CRG3-20180809155130

EDIT: i went ahead and got my s7 unlocked with the ATT code. on trying to flash i got an SHA256 error. after some google i checked the bootloader is "8". is this why? update checker says i'm up to date with Dec 3 2018 security updates...
I'm sorry but is these Snapdragon S7 variants likely to have a Android 9 Rom in the future?
I know it's idiotic btw hope some responses would be left.

Flashing with HOME_CSC will wipe your phone, only do this if you want a clean install.
The non-home CSC should leave all the user files untouched.

This is the first time I've done this and other guides seems to say the opposite. Can someone confirm which I should use if I don't want to do a clean install?
Thanks
Will WiFi calling still work after installing this on a T-Mobile S7? Thank You.

Make sure to flash with Odin3 v3.13.1.
I'd tried 3.12.x and had no luck. :silly:
Was able to flash my S7 from Verizon to unlocked with this.

I've uploaded this because updato was miserably slow,
just don't want others to jump through as many hoops as I did to get it.
Good luck and thanks for stopping by! :fingers-crossed:

I converted my unlocked US Note 10+ to T-Mobile. I am not receiving any OTA updates. My phone says that I am on the current software with December 1st Security patch.(the package I flashed in Odin) SL8 There is a January update available SLB but my phone doesn't see it. I know I can just manually flash it but it's kind of inconvenient. Anyone else able to pull updates after converting? In the T-Mobile app my device shows as "Unknown device" so I'm not sure if I should go back to the unlocked US firmware or try to figure if I goofed along the way. Thanks for any help.

Did you use the non home csc when (and do the factory data reset after successfully) flashing the phone with T-Mobile firmware?
If you didn't then that can cause the issue your having with OTA.
Yeah I did that. I'll back up my data and flash the old update, factory reset, and then see if it'll pull the latest update. Thanks. I've read where a couple of people are having issues with ota updating
I brought my Sprint Note 9 to TM. I didn't flash anything, but couldn't get OTA updates. I know I could have flashed TM, but I was lazy. I called my TM experts. They called Samsung. Samsung looked up to see where the nearest Samsung tech was. It was at a Best Buy. She was in the Geek Squad area. She evidently flashed the TM firmware. After that I was able to get the TM OTAs. There was no charge for this. I happily upgraded to the 10+ 5G when TM got it. I love it! It also came with Android 10 on it.

So I flashed the old firmware, used the non csc file, hard reset and I still can't pull an ota. Not sure what's wrong.

This is normal since you brought your own device and didn't purchase it from T-Mobile.

Your not doing something right or have skipped/missed a step..
When flashing the t-mobile firmware do so in it's entirety. Be sure to use the userdata as well.
The flashing process is pretty easy and rather straight forward, but as a refresher follow the instructions at the bottom of this post

That may be the issue. The tutorial I used said not to flash the userdata. So when I do this again, I should flash the Tmobile userdata along with it.
