Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I have an asian unlocked M8 and I live in Mexico so I cant use LTE. To solve this I got S-off, supercid, wwe mid and wwe firmware with Android Revolution Rom and still cant use LTE (Europe LTE bands do not include band 4 aws, so its the same crap). I tried to flash att and t-moble radio but mi phone did not recognise the radio file (Unknown baseband) so I get no signal. Then I flashed the wwe radio and got the same no recognition problem. The only way to get back signal is to flash again the firmware (it does not work to switch the att radio image in wwe firmware)
I need att or t-mobile bands to use mexican carriers Telcel or Movistar LTE (band 4 aws) and I guess I should use att or t-mobile firmware with the matching based rom.
- Can someone recomend me a rom version and firmware version to download??
- Is the unknown baseband problem because of the wwe mid? Should I also change the wwe to att or t-mobile mid and cid??
Thanks for your time and help!!

What if you current firmware version, is it Euro 4.16.401?
Where did you get the AT&T radio(s) and what is the file name?
Are you sure you are using the baseband for the right Android version (4.4.4 or 5.0, etc.)? If you are using the wrong radio for the Android version, that is the only reason I can see for any problems. As long as you are using the right version (Lollipop radio with a Lollipop ROM, etc), the radios should be interchangeable (with exception of Verizon, Sprint, M8x, dual SIM - don't mess with those).
But I would still advise to flash the whole firmware (not just the radio) to assure that everything plays well together.

I would suggest the Lollipop AT&T firmware (4.28.502) or Dev Edition (4.16.1540 - same band support as AT&T version) which you can get here (attached with the full ROM, unfortunately): http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
After that, you should be able to use just about any Lollipop ROM for the M8.

Yes, my current firmware is 4.16.401.10
I got the radio images from here, but I certanly mixed basebands with android versions.
I will go with your suggestion of flash a whole firmware.

Can I flash this firmware with another rom, say INSERT COIN? I read in the ROM instructions to use 4.16.401.10
Can I use the ROM attached to the firmware you suggested with my local carrier?
Thank you again for your help.

As I said, the firmware can be used with most any Lollipop M8 custom ROM.
The instructions say you need 4.16.401 firmware, but that's just a "lazy" requirement. Any Sense LP firmware should work with the current InsertCoin. To be fair, many of the "international" devs are Euro based, so they have little or no experience with other region's firmwares; and don't want to be held responsible for issues that arise for using them.
You should use or select the firmware based on region and carrier band support (in addition to Android version); not by ROM.
chortiman said:

You can. I'm personally not crazy about AT&T specific "features" (as the ROM is meant to include). Even having AT&T as a carrier, I tend toward the non-ATT based ROMs.
You may need to manually enter your carrier's APN info to get data connection.
Perfect.
I am currently in my work but at night I will follow your suggestions and come back tomorrow -or as soon as posible- to inform if this worked and may be useful to someone else.
Best regards!!

Hi,
I flashed succesfully the att latest firmware, but it is the same, no LTE signal.
I recently found this posts to UNLOCK QUALCOMM BANDS and I tried to follow the steps to do so, but they are very unclear and I got stuck in step 3.
I wanted to come back to this post to share a solution, but i cant find it. If you can complete the guide, please share your results.
Best regards.

Check your APN, sometimes carriers use a different one to support LTE.
Otherwise, if you tried only one firmware (such as AT&T) then try another: T-Mob or Dev Ed all supposedly support AWS.
Please help me figure what rom I need to flash. Its an unlocked phone, USA and im looking for the unlocked version. is it XAA, XAR, or XAS?
can you put the build number for it please. its a galaxy s9 unlocked USA phone. thanks. It wont connect to my network tower. It has verison software on it but not working on my network.

Need to know what firmware you are running at the minute first, if your bootloader is version 5 you cannot flash U1 firmware as you cannot downgrade the bootloader and latest U1 bootloader is v4
XAA

Is it safe to flash A505F firmware on the A505FN device? As far as I know, the only difference is NFC.
And is it possible to void the warranty by doing this?
I tried Smart Switch a few times, but no updates.

Hi thanks for your reply.
Should I need to remove all accounts, and make a factory reset first?
Smart Switch only will provide you the newest firmware in the same line, not an option to use other different firmware from a different region.
Ever is recommended to do a factory reset/format data before to "switch" to other firmware and make a backup before to restore it in just minutes with SS.
Install Phone Info(Samsung) and there you will find the CSC availables for your device before to change the firmware (most of the international models are multi_CSC compatible), search for the regions and compare them here https://www.****************/2017/0...specific-product-code-csc-and-country-region/ if some of them is convenient for you then you can flash it, check before your bootloader version, I think all are now in v1 but check it before to go further.

Yes, you usually can (I switched a lot of times) but you could find some issues regarding to radio/baseband depending on how different they´re.
Take a backup before using Smart Switch, take note of your actual firmware in a safe place if something goes wrong and don´t forget to enable USB debugging and OEM unlock before to go.

Hi,
Good yes already did a backup and OEM Unlock and USB Debugging are one.
I'm simply waiting the firmware to be downloaded. Take very long time to download from samfrew
Finally succeeded in flashing to INS.
I forgotten to remove my Sim Card but even that it has changed the CSC.
Thanks a lot for your help @SubwayChamp

Hey, what's the model of your device? Is it FN, or F? Because Indian firmware is A505F, so I don't know if I can flash A505F firmware on my FN device.

My model is A505F. I don't think you may install F on FN. It may work but you may have several problem with correct functionality of the phone or even brick it.

F firmware on an FN device should be ok afaik, but I believe you'll loose NFC
Also keep in mind that INS csc has this string in cscfeature_network.xml
<CscFeature_Message_ConfigImeiTracker>+919560345888,+918424098931,+919176905802</CscFeature_Message_ConfigImeiTracker>
I remember that this was a problem on custom roms for the old A-series since all roms for some reason added INS csc, so a bunch of users in europe got charged extra for messages to india if they didn't remove that from cscfeatures..
Not sure if it still acts the same, but I can confirm that the string is there in INS csc for A50.

Thank you.
There is finally firmware with July patch for FN versions of this device, so probably I'll wait few days, because only 5 countries in Europe got an update to the newest version, skipping June security patch, but I hope we'll have new features in the camera.

I don't think the US firmware T-mobile CSC will work in this case, I have not seen anything suggesting it's use is possible for this scenario..
Also if you search SamMobile for the firmware for your device and don't see T-Mobile firmware you will probably need to use custom firmware (with the features added) and root the device (required for custom firmware).
big thanks dude
is it possible to push tmobile CSC file into international version phone ?

You could probably flash it if the files were released for the model of phone you are using (of which you have not said). At that rate your best off just flashing the carrier firmware itself to ensure full compatibility.
Looking at SamMobile I can find T-Mobile carrier firmware for the N975F, N9750, N975W and N9760
Hello, I currently have an SM-N976N.
I bought refurbished and live in Ireland.
I am looking for a compatible firmware that's not Korean but not having much luck. I can't flash anything in Odin except n976n firmware, and even that didn't seem to get rid of the sky telecom provider bloatware and branding.
I can provide CSC etc if anyone thinks they can help! Looking for something like a global or UK Ireland Unlocked like the B...
tried to flag KOO firmware...I used CSC as opposed to home Csc but I also used userdata file in Odin as well.
The sk splash screen and bloatware is still present.. There was a warning or info message on phone after I flashed, and then it rebooted again. I couldn't read it as it was in Korean.
Also, if there's no way to change to a euro firmware, is there any way to change bootloader/recovery/download language?
