Samsung Galaxy Ace
So my phone is not receiving messages, and in Vodafone they said me they would have to upgrade my firmware.
I said I had the last firmware in my phone but they said the firmware they would install isn't available to be "installed at home", it's a special firmware..
The problem is... I have my phone rooted and I have deleted the Vodafone main apps, trough link2sd.
I don't know if I have to unroot it and to do a reset in order to update my firmware in Vodafone...
What do you think?
If I have to unroot it, how can I do it?
If I have to have the Vodafone main apps, a reset would install them?
Thanks

Hi there,
I've got a Samsung Galasy S2 factory unlocked that came shipped with GB 2.3.4. My question is, having bought that phone sim unlocked, can I flash any firmware available for that phone present in samfirmware? I'm fed up of waiting to get the official upgrade through kies, which is taking too long for spanish phones.
My main fears comes from flashing the phone with a non-free-sim firmware. Am I obbey to use, for flashing my phone, any Open Europe firmware if I want to keep having my phone sim unlocked? or could I in contrary flash it with any european firmware?
Thanks for your support.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5300 and i need to be able to debrand name(Mobistar) from my samsung galaxy S5300.
I have installed already firmware with Odin and everything worked perfectly but i get always to read in KIES at firmware: S5300XXLF5/S5300OXXLF5/S5300XXLF5/S5300XXLF5 (MST) and MST stand for brand name of the provider and i can't get rid of it with installation of new firmware.
So i really need help to tell me HOW I CAN DEBRAND NAME FROM MY SAMSUNG GALAXY S5300(POCKET)?
Please can anyobody help me with this problem? And simply installing new firmware doesn't help!!! Already tried it MANY times.
So it is branded somewhere in the phone with name of the provider and i want to get rid of it.
So now it doesn't work with the way i already did MANY times.
So it is branded somewhere where i can't remove it now with installing new firmware(NON BRANDED ALWAYS) only.
I guess it is branded in the phone memory. Because i can't erase(format) system storage. Even after a hard reset there is still kept 0.89GB system storage. So what i got to do to format or erase that systemstorage?

Just installing non brand firmware doesn't help at all.
I keep reading after my firmware (MST) which stands for Mobistar. So it is branded somewhere in the phone with name of the provider and i want to get rid of it.

i had Mobistar widgets till i reïnstalled new firmware S5300XXLF5 2.3.6 June 2012. NOw all Mobistar widgets are gone but in the firmware i keep reading S5300XXLF5/S5300OXXLF5/S5300XXLF5/S5300XXLF5 (MST) and (MST) stands for Mobistar. So i need to get rid of that to get back warranty because now i don't get support from KIES anymore.
I dont have a Mobistar sim but i kept getting notificaiton of Mobistar Tv etc.... .
I got tired of that and i couldn't remove those programs from the firmware cause they are branded in the firmware so i reïnstalled new firmware.
The problem is the phone is branded with the name of the provider Mobistar somewhere which i can't delete now. What important is what KIES say is the firmware name which is already installed as new, non branded firmware which i have download from sammobile.com and KIES says S5300XXLF5/S5300OXXLF5/S5300XXLF5/S5300XXLF5 (MST) and MST stand for brand name of the provider and i can't get rid of it with installation of new firmware.
So now i don't know how to get rid of the branded mark in the phone. I also had in the firmware which i couldn't uninstall widgets from Mobistar for Mobistar tv, etc. Even when i don't have a Mobistar sim i received notifications of upgrade of those Mobistar programs and i don't use those programs.
So i installed non branded firmware and even then i don't get rid of the (MST) notification!! That is the big problem.
When i don't get the possibility to get support for software upgrade through KIES then i have no warranty anymore for my brand new smartphone!
So everything is alright for my software only it is no Mobistar firmware which it should be now because the phone is still branded as Mobistar phone and i have no LOCKS for SIM, I CAN USE ANY SIM.
Can't i reïnstall new system storage without the brand of Mobistar?
Please can anybody help me soon so i have my warranty back?
Hi all. My S4 was rooted on Kitkat, and I ran a software called "Dr. Fone" from Wondershare to retrieve some lost messages. The software attempted to root/unroot and seemed to have messed up my root. I tried re-rooting and while Odin said "Pass!" the phone was stuck at the Samsung logo on boot. Clearing the cache and wipe data from recovery mode did did not resolve.
I looked on Sammobile for my country and found a "jellybean" firmware and used Odin to install. It came up fine but it appears locked to one of the carriers in my country. I use this phone when I travel and would like to have it unbranded again. Is my phone screwed? I see an unbranded firmware for Russia, but reading the instructions said to make sure your phone is unlocked, but now it seems locked to a carrier with the rom I installed. Is there anyway to get out of this situation and get back unbranded. I am afraid to try the russia rom and dig myself in a deeper hole.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Once a phone in unlocked it will remain unlocked. Can you change your APN? Branded firmware can disallow this function. If not I would flash the unbranded firmware and then change the APN to your carriers.

Hey guys! I just bought my S8 unlocked in Canada to use it with my sim card from Mexico, my S8 got blocked with that sim card and some forums recommended to use a sim card from the same country, do a 5 min phone call and everything will be nice. It didn't solve it but installed in my phone bloatware from Fido...
I fixed that lock region problem but not this one... Fido install as a bloatware Spotify, so I can only disable, cannot uninstalled unless I root my phone which I don't want to... Yet (at the end of the warranty) and of course, I want to install Spotify the premium one, but there's this little problem
app cannot be installed an existing package by the same name
I tried "uninstall" from abd with my computer and nothing... I tried using apk editor... Nothing...
If you guys know a possible solution another to root the phone, I'll appreciate
1. you can't root the canadian s8
2. change your csc to xac, this is the unbranded canadian s8 firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71525525&postcount=1413 this will wipe your whole phone and you won't have any fido bloatware
I get the same error unless I'm installing immediately after a fresh wipe. I dl everything I want then install it after setup.
It worked!!!
