[Q] Upgrading Android on Unlocked Samsung Infuse???

Hey,
I have a question. I have Samsung Infuse that I bought recently, it was locked on At&T but I unlocked it with no problems. The thing is it still has all the things from At&T, even the Software Update runs on At&T.
Is there any other way to upgrade to the newer version of Android without going through At&T? Because every time I try to search for update after 1 min of searching it says that it can't connect to At&T server. My firmware version is 2.2.1. (if that helps in any way).
This is my first Android phone and I'm still learning everything about it. But I'm going back home in Europe and I need everything to work perfect there.
To delete every setting and restriction that at&t put on my phone I have to re-install the software?
Thanks

how did you unlock it?

go to the Samsung infuse section in the forums and you can probably find stock gingerbread to flash to your phone.

well I unlocked it with a code of course.

[Q] Updating a rooted Samsung Replenish

I bought a rooted Samsung Replenish last week off Ebay. I had trouble activating it, so I had to call in to Sprint to get it activated. After doing a factory reset on the phone, it finally activated. But now there is an update available and I have found conflicting info as to whether or not updating it to GB would brick it. Does anyone here have any firm answers on whether or not attempting to update it would brick it?
Additional info:
I think it has a custom ROM on it, as the About Phone specs are:
Android Version 2.2.2
Baseband Version S:M580.06x.ED23
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Build LeafRom 0.2-Beta
When the screen comes up, it displays 4 penguins and has "ShabbyMod" at the top.
Any assistance is appreciated.

not sure how to update for you, but LeafRom is a custom rom, google that and look into it, maybe there is an update?

Any updates?
did you try the OTA update? did it work?
LeafROM is a custom ROM possibly still Beta, I think at this point it was released almost a year ago and since the current Replenishes are shipping with GingerBread 2.3 it may be a tad behind.
I found mention of it HERE
also try ACS they have been doing some work on the replenish, looks like there may even be a CWM for it..

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Nexus Build ITL41F.I9250XEKK9

Hi there i recently bought a Samsung galaxy Nexus unlocked, build ITL41F.I9250XEKK9 its an att docomo phone that i bought off amazon.
Anyway when i go to search for updates it says the phone is up to date and there are no new updates and i'm currently running android 4.0.1.
I did seach google, but i really no nothing about roms and flashing devices so i didn't really understand much.
By the way the first time i connected the phone to wifi it updates the phone but it only did this once. The current version is ITL41F don't no what it was before the update.
Can someone help me or give me a guide to how to update my galaxy nexus ITL41F to a new version of ICS. By flashing the device and using an official ICS rom.
Any help greatly appreciated.

any help anyone?

Same problem here
I've got the same problem here. It installs a "system update" periodically but I'm still suck on 4.0.1. My build # and purchase location are the same. Did yours come bootloader unlocked, i.e., do you see the padlock icon when you first turn on the device? Unfortunately I didn't figure out what the padlock icon meant until it was too late to return it to Amazon.
I'm starting to get worried that someone sold me a hacked firmware that is sniffing my passwords...has that ever happened?

[Q] Verizon system software not recognized

Please help. When I tried to install a custom rom onto my samsung galaxy s3 the phone rebooted and came up with a message saying. "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help. " I need to know how to fix this quickly so my parents don't find out and I am not able to go to a nearby Verizon store. I just want my device to work and I do not care if files are erased, as all I want is for my phone to work on android 4.4 kitkat and still be able to text and make phone calls. Is there any possible way to do so?
Thanks, for considering!

For your information
Also for your information I need this done by April 13.

What version of Android is it currently on?
Off hand I would think it's either on 4.3 ML1 or 4.4.2 NE1. You will have to use Odin to go back to stock which will solve your problem. Both mentioned bootloaders are locked and you cannot install a custom rom. Your limited to certain roms based on which version your on and those will be touchwiz based roms only

bought phone from becetech wont update firmware

im sorry if this is in the wrong section but ,ok so i bought an open box galaxy s6 from becetech online and it would not let me update the firmware past 5.1.1 which made me a bit suss, downloaded root checker app and it came too me rooted. apart from not being able to update the firmware past 5.1.1 as far as im aware the phone has no issues and works perfectly fine. i downloaded the *samsung* phone info app, in general under manufacturer it says Samsung/verizon so im assuming that is part of the reason they rooted the phone as it needed to be unlocked from verizon to be refurbished? so what i want to know is how do i find out exactly what becetech have done to the phone and is there an easy way for me to update the firmware to nougat or at least marshmallow without stuffing the phone, like i said the phones running fine its just really bugging me not being to update. obviously im not able to work it out myself but i can follow instructions so any help from someone would be greatly appreciated so thank you in advance.

Could someone with a bit more knowledge please tell me if the reason I can't update the firmware is because the firmware csc is TGY when I'm in Australia or just because it's rooted or what? I'm getting no answers from the company who I bought it off

Are you trying to update via the phone update feature? If so this won't work as rooting disabled the ability Update using ota

First I tried OTA then downloaded samsung smart switch and gave that a go both no good. What I want to know is, if they had to root the phone to refurbish it will it brick it if I try to update? Won't it reset all the company I bought it off has done to it to refurbish it? Which I'm guessing is quite a process as when I look at the open source licenses there's a long list of files that have been changed. It just sucks that it's locked to a three year old version of the firmware that I'm worried apps will start to stop supporting in the near future? Apart from that I can not fault the phone there's been no problems, maybe I'm asking a bit much for a $400 phone?

From what I can tell you have a g920v variant if the phone Shows Verizon but the sure fire way to know what variant you have is turn the phone off once off hold home-power-volume down, this will take you to download mode but should tell you your variant. You don't need to root a phone to refurbish It, you can flash Stock firmwares via Odin. I really don't know why they would have Rooted It tbh, you'd need to contact them, but I know for sure you can manually download the latest Verizon firmware and the phone should work. Maybe they Rooted it as part of making it network unlocked, o really can't say

Ok I tried that and a bright blue screen came up warning about custom OS then press up volume for download and down volume for reset? I just pressed down as there was no other info on the screen but it does say it's a sm-g920v in the settings as well as the root checker app. Another thing was I did ring samsung support gave them the serial number and IMEI and they said an authorized modification had been done on the phone but could offer no other support as it wasn't an Australian phone. I'll keep trying to get some info out of the company I bought it off and try to sort it out thanks for your help :good:
