Ok, Yes i am a noob to this forum
My serious question is.....which firmware region do i get so that my phone will work properly and start in English for Australia? I have unlocked my phone myself, and i have flashed it many times with different firmware already so getting the region code from it is hopeless? All i need to know where to get and which firmware to use on my old S5570 Galaxy Mini to work and start in English in Australia.
Thank you.
Any help with this would be great as i want to run stock firmware but only for my region (Australia) and to only start in English instead of having to change it when i restore it etc..
Hello? Bump? Anyone? Surely someone can tell what stock rom i need for my region?

Hi guys!
I want to help a friend of mine to debrand her I5800. Searching in the forum left me confused and I'm not sure about it. The phone is hungarian branded with T-Mobile. Is it enough to flash a stock rom or do I have to unlock with http://samfirmware.com/ ? Sorry for the newbie question, but some answers what to do and use to debrand would help a lot!
Cheers

Just flash any custom rom here in the development subforum.
if you mean you want to use a different network on it then search for 'how to unlock GT i5800' and it should come up

Hey guys,
I have an internationl galaxy s3 which i believe is Iran region. I dont live in Iran. I actually live in Pakistan. So heres my question. I've read a number of ways to change the CSC. Will I be able to change it to Pakistan? Also, my s3 is still stuck on 4.0.4, If I update, will I get the 4.1.2 update which has been released for Pakistan. Also, can i brick my phone by changing the CSC?
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
I've had a bit of a read about on the forum but can't find a definitive answer which assures me enough to go ahead.
I've got a samsung galaxy s3 i9300 which was locked to o2 and currently on 4.1.2
I purchased an unlock code which has unlocked the phone successfully.
The phone is branded o2 which I am wanting to de-brand, having a read around it seems i need to flash the stock 4.3 BTU rom which I have downloaded from sammobile.
Question is, if i flash the BTU rom to the phone, will it cancel my previous unlock?
Any help or confirmation would be greatly appreciated, thankyou

Hi xda, it's been a while since I've been here and looking around has me scratching my head a little.
Anyway I have just purchased a galaxy s6 from eBay foolishly thinking it would be easy to remove the simlock but after a little reading I'm beginning to think I may have made a mistake. I'm not sure what network the phone is locked to as I have not yet received it and the listing states in the title O2 but the description says Vodafone, all I know is the model begins G920F. I thought maybe rooting and flashing a stock firmware would remove the simlock but after reading it looks like this is not the case. I then read also about "tripping knox" which sounds like something I don't want to be doing.
Root is probably something I will be looking to do in the future but not essential right now but I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me the best way to go about putting my virgin sim in this phone.
Please help
Thanks Peter.
I thought the 920F is the facotry unlocked international version so any sim would work.
When are you receiving this? Where are you trying to make this work.

Most European providers don't simlock, so you will most likely just have a provider rom, they are easy to replace with a generic stock rom
He is sending the phone out first class tomorrow so I'll report back after I have received it. I'll be using it in the UK, hopefully I'll get lucky and just be able to use it as soon as I get it. Thanks for the replies people.
Try buying an unlock code from one of the many reputable online unlockers.
I am also in the same boat. I bought samsung galaxy s6 sm-g920f model from malaysia and now when I insert indian sim its say its locked and asking for unlock code. I am just worried now. i am thinking if i can flash stock indian firmware sm-g920i to realease the lock.

no you need an unlock code
Well I received the phone today and it seems I don't have to worry about the simlock as it's a bloody counterfeit!!! Grrrrrrrrrr, in the middle of a dispute atm but hopefully I'll receive a refund. Anybody that wants to help please see this thread...

Greetings and welcome to assist. I think your variant is the sprint version. It shouldn't matter that its a US varaint as long as it is compatible with your carriers frequecies (if not there is little we can do).
There are several guides on how to root your device and flash twrp here
