2.3.5! Awesome.
Here's the thread:

Have you tried it already??

how do u install this kind of firmware. is just an exe.
u just click it, selec language and click start?
has it got built in odin?

Maybe we should clarify first, which region this firmware is dedicated to. Europe, Asia, Africa, America? It could cause major problems flashing a firmware for the wrong region.

i9001BUKP2 letters: "BU" refer to Vodafone T-mobile which is a German company. It's also a Network carrier code so it doesn't refer to specific country or region.
Languages included in BU firmware are:
de,el,en,es,fr,hr,hu,it,nl,pt,sl,sv,tr

Sure that it is Vodafone / T-Mobile as it is only labeled as Vodafone at sammobile?
(Competitors?)
Is there a way to find out for which country specific the firmware is?
I download the files at the moment and can have a look later today...

I'm interested on this rom,
some screenshot of vodafone customization please?

Flashed it and have been using it two hours. No bugs etc. About 90 percent battery left, text messages and calls ok. Working very nice. I live in Finland btw

Firmware will be installed via Odin Ex 1.01
The firmware is extracted about 900mb in size.
You can choose some European carriers see attached screenshot

Softwarebranding? Vodafon Logos?

greek language
Does this rom support GREEK language ?
In sixth post my question is answered.

You can root?

2.3.5 Vodafone
After flashing this rom, the phone will try to register into vodafone network only? or any other carrer will be available ( ex. orange, cosmote...)
thank you.

The firmware works in any network except that it has some bundled apps from vodafone in which you can easily removed if you rooted your phone right after.
check this out on how to root your phone:

No I have congtsar as provider and even APN were right after installing.
Only some Vodafone applications are installed.

*whatever you do, do at your own risk, I just shared original materials and obviously will take no responsibilty​
I am sure many will appreciate this.
Question for you: Would the TELCEL MEXICO E900h one be compatible with the E900h on Canada's TELUS?
This is amazing, thank you so much!
DONT TRY THIS
I just did everything and the program gave me an error in the progress: ErrNum4008 RAM PROGRAM. That's all I got and now my device doesn't do anything anymore. I cant turn it on, nothing. Not even the Emergency download mode. I've seen bricked devices but this is far worse. I don't even get a splash screen or whatsoever, the phone is dead.
you can use this without any issue.
I was able to re-flash my device (initally locked by VF Spain) and I have the EU-OPEN FW and all process was ran fine.
Only one note, please disable the USB 2.0 on you computer and run the SW in compatibilty mode with XP and administrator Rights.
Thanks for the post.
me the same... succesfully flashed my mobile from Vodafone Italia to Telecom Italia Mobile.... just a question: EUROPE OPEN is an operator or a version without any kind of customization? Thanks))
have you had any issues with MMS after this process or using it on your chosen provider,
and one more question if i may,
did you have the bluetooth issues before you started this process and was it rectified
basicaly i have the bluetooth isuue as in it dont work at all( it did but it stoped)
and im wondering if this helped resofle that conflict or if i should just get it sent away from my provider ??
To solve the MMS issue you have to select the appropriate .xml file for your provider, that file contains provider specific-information for MMS, WAP and other stuffs.
Here it's how:
-Dial: ##634# :this will enable MFG, a secret app
-Press the "call" button
-Now the MFG icon is listed on the "programs list".
-On the MFG screen input this password: 277634#*# (translated is appmfg#*#) and press enter.
-Now you can access to many options, tests.....
Go under 7.Engineer Menu then under 6. Other Settings, then choose Set network profiles.
Here guess which one is the correct .xml file for your provider:
I have TIM Italia, so mine is _PROV_TIM_IT_222_01.xml yours should be there somewhere...
tap to select it, wait, then you are done!
Cause one of the guy tryed to flash with a FW of different than the original one, for now maybe it's better to flash with SAME NATIONALITY or EUROPE OPEN until we got better news
Remeber to everyone to disable screensaver, standby, antivirus and any open applications while flashing, if possible use a clean updated installation of Windows XP (because these software's runs better on XP)
Is there a way to start the program and then connect the phone and hope it gets recognised? Like some kind of button combination. I think I've tried them all but you never know. The thing that frustrates me the most is when I got the error I was still in the emergency mode so I could still try and flash another rom. But after I turned off the phone it didn't respond to anything anymore.
With the FW EUROPE OPEN you can install the "LG Configuration Tool" and fully use it to autoselect the provider or change it manually.
Also, you can use the MFG menu. But the MMS problem with this FW is solved.
thanks rider for the reply i probaly should of made my question clearer, but your reply was what i needed and the folowing replies are helpfull
maybe i should just give it a go and see if it fixes my bluetooth issue
there does not seem to be a vodaphone UK listed (is there actualy one) as this is what im on not sure if id be able to get it back to original
another Q what was the MMS issue
just be careful flashing because a memeber bricked his phone because flashed with a rom of a different country.... use another UK provder or (suggested) use EU OPEN and then customize settings the way I told u (mms, wap....)
we are not sure the brick was for the different country but while we have better news stay on your same countries or EU OPEN that should be valid for all countries.
Again, when you flash use the correct DLL, one is for the E900, the other for E900H, also roms are different so be careful.
When you flash shut down AV software, all the applications and if possible under Windows XP or at least in compatibility mode (personally I used Win7 x64 and no compatibility... but WinXP is better for this old programs....)
Nasirhned,OP
Sorrry if you have posted aboouth this [Q] else where
but i am curious as to your post about the firmwares for Optimus 7 is there one for VodaFone UK as i do not see one listed
any users that have questions about if this process fixes your Bluetooth issues i will reply with my results
Hi, I've added VODAFONE UK firmware, Please check again.
hi again!,
the MMS issue is that the not open devices, cannot configure 100% the mms apn settings and this function cannot be used.
With an open rom it is available to configure and use with any carrier.
Regards, and goog weekend!
That's not exact.
You can the same personalize the configuration of the mms with any firmware selection the appropriate XML file in the mfg menu!
The best thing anyway is to use the correct firmware for the correct provider unless you have really specific needs (you change different SIMs frequently)
Always charge the battery fully before any operation. If any error occurs while upgrading the phone will remain in Emergency Download Mode, DON'T PULL BATTERY AT THIS SITUATION, try update again.
Same problem we saw before on Samsung Omnia too.
Yes, in the MFG menu you can re-select the settings but for example in Spain, the device sold by Vodafone, is locked (or the xml is corrupt) for the Orange carrier, I had been notified that this happend to another carriers in another countries...
Regards,
Hi, could use a little advice if possible.
I'm planning to flash UK Vodafone to Europe Open (eventually to use with my O2 sim) via Windows 7 and have some questions:
1. Which USB driver to install: LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497CA20 or LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497MA20?
2. On windows 7, how exactly to I disable USB 2.0 and enable USB 1.1?
3. How to I actually download the firmware? Clicking the link on Europe Open either gives me a 403 or another strange page - obviously this one is a show stopper for me.
4. Where do I put the firmware and the dll - is it in C:\Windows?
5. When (if?) flashed successfully, will the nodo update mess it up and reinstall the Vodafone stuff or will this be a permanent Europe Open that can be updated by Zune as if it was the original firmware?
Sorry for the newbie questions but I like to be careful and I really need to do this as it's the only way of getting mms on my unlocked UK Vodafone.
Thanks in anticipation.

Where did you get your SHV-300S ? if you imported in then it should be automatically factory unlocked.. Also if you wanna remove the bloatware use this app Link2SD and by the way be carfeful what you remove as you can brick your device just make a full rom backup and save it some where before you proceed.....

Galaxy S6 Marshmallow

Hello XDA users,
I bought a galaxy S6 two months ago I always try different ROMS and Kernels but now I want to flash Marshmallow.
I have the unlocked version, SM-G920F running XtresTolite and Hacker Kernel on the 5.1.1 bootloader. I live in Israel my phone's service provider is Golan-Telecom it's taken from Cellcom. As if I flash cellcom's firmware for the galaxy s6 it will work on Golan Telecom cuz it's from it.
I want to flash Marshmallow through Odin cuz I don't have the update.
Can I flash any official Marshmalllow on my phone without problems like losing my network like "Not registered on network", if so, please tell me what I can flash and tell me the steps. I already have a TWRP backup.
Thank you. ?
I never had carrier problems while traveling so I guess You won't have any problems either.
1. Dowmload newest rom for Cyprus or United Kingdom from Sammobile.com (or any 6.0.1 that is unbranded).
2. Download odin 10.7.1
2a. Use usb2.0 ports only.
3. Hold power+vol down+home (to boot into odin mode)
4. Unpack the zip file and in AP select Your tar.md5 file.
5. Let it reboot. Enjoy.

The cyprus version looks like the only one that isn't unbranded (UK is vodafone branded, don't know if that's good?). Also the france MM is also unbranded but the PDA version is different from the rest. It's G920FXXU3DPAD instead of G920FXXU3DPB8.
So which one should I choose the unbranded cyprus or the unbranded france one?
I have the Proximus branded version from Belgium btw.

I was always had problems going from XEF to ANY other FW.... I don't suggest to use it.
I hope it takes only few days to get another FW, wich is unbranded.
I flashed XEF french MM to my g920f, no problems at all, spo2 works, everything works, battery is good, camera flawless
Just flash XEF like @Duzzy5 said or get cyprus version. It's Your choice . Both versions are pretty much identical.

I successfully flash my SM-G9550 Hong Kong to the open China version, so here's the steps:
#1- you have to remove FRP lock first on the S8+
#2 Put it on download mode [press Bixby + volume down + power buttons al together for few seconds]
#3 Flash the Chinese firmware with ODIN 3.13
I can't post links on the forums yet cause I'm new guy here but I'll be glad to share Odin + Firmware links!

G9650 (Snapdragon) CSC Change/ Stock firmware change (NON ROOT)

Hi everyone,
Recently I flashed a stock ROM on my SM-G9650 and wandered around quite some time before gathering all the information to flash the firmware. Now I’m here gathering most (if not all) the information anyone might need to flash stock firmware to your device. This method does NOT require root and does NOT trip KNOX
First of all:
-Disclaimer-
I will not be responsible if your device gets bricked. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. This is a guide, and even though its pretty straight forward, stuff happens.
Now, onto flashing the device:
A few prerequisites prior to flashing the device:
- ODIN (latest): https://odindownload.com/
- USB Drivers for Samsung: https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
- An ORIGINAL Cable for your device (Preferably the one that came with it).
- WinRAR or 7zip
- A backup of your data (Optional)
- Patience and time
Ok, now onto the flashing:
First things first: this is a guide for the G9650 (Hong Kong) Variant with UNLOCKED bootloader. If your device model is different, find a thread according to your device.
1- Go to: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/40735-Galaxy-S9-G960-multi-CSC-pit-language , and find the correct Multi CSC for your country/Region. (I live in the Caribbean but chose to use ZTO because it has LTE+ and VoLTE, and the only bloatware is Word, Excel, PowerPoint, LinkedIn and One Drive.). Once you find your CSC, head over to https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and download your desired Firmware. Here is a link for CSC code meaning: https://www.androidsage.com/2017/07...specific-product-code-csc-and-country-region/
2- Once downloaded, create a folder on your desktop and move the zip file to it, then extract. (You can choose any folder you want, I recommend desktop because it is easier to find)
3- Install the USB Drivers previously downloaded.
4- Reboot your pc (By actually opening windows and clicking reboot.)
5- Open Odin and search for the folder you placed the Firmware in.
6- Load BL, AP, CP and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC) onto the correct slots.
Now onto the phone part:
1- Unlock your phone and go to Samsung switch.
2- Back up your data. (If you do not have personal data, then skip)
3- Factory reset the phone, through the settings option.
4- Wait for the phone to boot into the welcome screen.
5- Turn off the device
6- While holding down the Bixby button and the volume up, press the power
7- When the Samsung logo shows, let go of the power and Bixby buttons. Keep holding the Volume up button until you boot into recovery.
8- With the navigation keys, factory reset the phone, once completed, wipe cache and data.
9- Turn off the device.
10- Turn on the device while holding down the Bixby button and volume down. Once the Samsung logo shows, let go of the Bixby button. Keep holding the volume down.
11- Once in the download mode (blue screen with an android), let go of the volume down. Press volume up to select download mode.
Back to the PC part:
1- Once the device is in download mode, connect it via cable and wait for ODIN to recognize it. (a blue box indicating COM port is the indicator that ODIN has recognized the device)
2- Since the BL, AP, CP and CSC have been loaded onto the correct slots, and the device is connected and recognized, go into options and make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset time are checked.
3- Press start and BE PATIENT AND CAREFULL, Flashing a firmware takes time. If your cable breaks connection with ODIN, YOU MAY brick your device.
4- Once completed, your phone will boot up on its own, reboot it manually.
Congratulations, you have just flashed a stock, almost bloatware free Samsung Firmware.
If you have any question, feel free to ask.
- To Mods and Admins: Forgive me if I break any rules, this is my first thread. Just let me know what went wrong and I will fix it ASAP

You might want to consider changing the links you have posted for Odin - The latest version is 3.13.1 - The xda link has Odin 3.10.6 and the first Odin link has 3.12.x
Sammobile.com is one of the more reliable sources for Firmware & They conveniently have a link to Odin 3.13.1 as well..
XDA also has a link to the latest version of Odin here:
https://forum-xda--developers-com.c.../odin-available-3-13-1-oreo-fws-t3755957/page
It's strongly recommended to use Odin 3.13.1 to Flash Oreo Firmware ??

The link i posted has ODIN 3.13.1, when you open it in the browser (request desktop site on mobile), under the first image is the button for it. I used that link and said (Latest) so that when you head there you get the latest odin. Also, the link for the firmware is sammobile . I now see that its not very intuitive so i will add the link for the firmware (just have to type the device model and download the desired firmware. Thanks for the heads up
Can I use this guide for my S9+ exynos version G965F?

You can follow these steps but refer to the G965F thread for your appropiate firmware version

I have been out of the Android game since the S7 Edge. I just swapped from iPhone 8+ to a S9+ and love it so far. Question I have is which firmware can I use to debloat my S9+? It's on T-Mobile and I dl the stock firmware from the posted link but I don't think this is the debloated firmware. Any help would be appreciated as I don't know what all this CSC stuff is.

Your previous CSC was TEL? Is it grouped with the VXX in the multi CSC?

I would highly recommend searching the forums for your variant since it is a Snapdragon and probably has locked bootloader. This guide is for G9650, even though the process is basically the same.
I'm familiar with how to flash with Odin but just don't know what debloated stock ROM is compatible.
---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------
I don't see a section dedicated to just the T-Mobile version on the S9+.

Make sure the downloaded model matches your device model. For a US variant its pretty hard to find one since most (if not all) put some kind of bloat on them. Search for: Bloat free firmware g965U, and look around.

I bought an unlocked s9+ from ebay and later found out that its country sale came from Panama. My canadian GSM network does work on the device, but certain apps like samsung members show spanish promotions or samsung pay not being available.*
Can the csc code and country be changed in this case so i am able to get the canadian setting and access.
Model: SM-G9650
CPU: Snapdragon 845
Disclaimer: i have never tried alteration of any phone before so im new to this.
JULY Security update for ZTO (G9650) now available
