Bloatware on a non carrier stock rom - Samsung Galaxy A71 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello everyone,
I have a concern regarding my phone, I bought it in Tigo El Salvador however the default rom is from Gatemala (Tigo) and it has all the Tigo carrier bloatware. I downloaded 2 stock firmwares from Sammobile (unbranded Trinidad & Tobago and Mexico) I installed the samsung drivers on my computer and I downloaded the latest version of Odin 3.14.4 also from Sammobile, entered download mode and flashed the rom from Trinidad & Tobago first. everything went ok, Odin showed a PASSED message and my phone rebooted on the set up screen. I went through the set up process but went I to essential apps section it showed again the bloatware apps from Tigo (carrier).
Then I went to recovery mode and did a factory reset, turned off my phone and flashed the unbranded, non carrier stock rom from Mexico, received PASSED message in Odin and same thing happened. Bloatware reinstalled when I connected to the internet, same carrier ringtones and sounds (turn on/off the phone), etc.
Can you help me find out what am I doing wrong? I really want to remover all the carrier bloatware and this does not seem to workout. as an FYI I haven't done anything else to the phone I just took it out of the box and tried to flash it. As a second FYI I am not that new in Samsung, I had from Galaxy S2 to Galaxy S7 and this was a piece of cake, then from the S7 I switched to Motorola and the I coming back to Samsung again. Not sure what could've changed throughout these years.
Please apologize if this is not the right place to post this and thank you in advance for your help.

[Q] SHV-E250K (aka Note 2)

I'm at loss here. I recently purchased what I thought was a stock standard Note 2. It seems the unit is originally from Korea. It has supposingly worked here in Australia (where I am).
I have tried to flash any Rom, and so far I have tried at least 15 (currently have Speedwizz Cent 2.1). The only one that works is the one that I found for the Telecom provider the phone was with (Olleh in Korea). Is there a possibility I can't flash a new rom, I have no idea what version was there prior. The one that will flash has no modem, and has apk's in Korean. It's of little use if I can't get the sim to work.
I have tried a number of the suggestions here, including wiping dalvik, data and using the XDLL7 recovery.tar. Seems to make little difference. Either the unit boots and then sits in logo mode, or the screen goes blank after a while. So far, I have always been able to get to Recovery or Odin mode.
Any help most appreciated. I need to make adecision on whether to send it back/dispute in ebay, so I'll try a few more times.

Samsung Ace 2 GT-S7560m Possible brick?

Hi,
I recently rooted an Ace 2 that came to my hands and flashed the CM11 found here.
After this wifi wasnt working so I tried some other MODEM drivers with no success.
Decided that I'd prefer having a WiFi enabled phone even with stock rom, I flashed the Stock one found on Sammobile for the phones' carrier.
Carrier is Bell Canada by the way.
After flashing the stock rom, phone refuses to get into recovery mode, and also refuses to open in generaly, staying in the GT-S7560 bootup screen for an eternity (or at least the 7 hours I left it open).
Phone works in Download mode however, except whatever I do there is like pointless, since nothing happens.
So a quick view is:
1) Bell Canada
2) S7560MVLBNA5
3) Recovery doesn't work
4) Download mode works
5) Phone won't start
If anyone can point me to something I would appreciate it, and as of searching before posting, I did search but found 0 similar problems, since everyone elses semi-bricked devices, worked like a charm after stock rom was installed.
Thanks in advance.

have you tried flash your firmware with odin? may work
My imei has changed loads of 0000s, I've flashed official roms with Odin x4 and still no network so I know how you feel hun, hope you get lucky with Odin usually never fails..
just read about dr.ketan's fix/patch and hope you have backup.

Unknown Baseband after flashing rom

Okay so i have the T-Mobile Galaxy s3. It has been rooted for a while with zero problems. I got tired of the older android on it and decided to install a rom. I installed Cyanogenmod 13.0-20151208-unofficial-d2tmo running android 6.0.1. When i first got it all booted and loaded with gapps, i noticed that it recognized my sim and that i had a signal but i couldn't use any LTE or just all around data. basically i couldn't go online (in case i just didn't explain that well enough. Phone service is a mystery to me). I did some searching online and found a lot of people saying that i needed to update my baseband. i found a baseband for my model (T999) and tried to flash it in TWRM. Once i rebooted, it said "No SIM card - No service." in the upper left-hand side. i have tried flashing multiple different basebands the same way with no luck. i tried backing up my EFS folder and the restoring it because someone said to do that and that just... just no... it didn't do anything. even Odin 3 said it was a "FAIL!". So here i am with this android equivalent to an Ipod and i hate this. Everything else in this ROM works perfectly aside from this but this is a super big problem. PLEASE HELP!!!! A phone isn't a phone if you cant even send a text.
Did you update the phone's bootloader and modem to the latest version before flashing CM?

Samsung S9 Live demo security check fail modem issue

Well I beat the retail demo software, but didnt like even after a official update on the phone itself it kept me at android 8.0 os
so i went ahead and wanted to install android 10 rom off sammobile. It went through without a hitch in odin..but then got the dreaded "security check fail modem" in red text and this phone has been locked and unauthorized software has been installed on this phone with the blue screen background.
Any ideas on what rom I could use to install on this to beat this modem check issue? I tried 3 different roms and all the same message, they all load via Odin fine and PASS green box, then reboots and same message.
Supposedely I found a original stock rom for the demo model but its some 1 file-combination file. Still searching to see what else I can find.
Let me know if theres a workaround for the red text modem issue.
EDIT: just to make clear, i only want to use wifi on this device for apps, I realize it cannot be used to make calls or being used on cellular network, thats fine with me.
