Hi guys. Sorry if this is a dumb question but is it possible to flash the Shield tab so it works on Verizon's band instead of AT&T/T-Mobile?
Many folks have asked this, but no one is game to try it out. Being in Australia, I'd really like to attempt the WW version flash and see if I could use my Virgin Mobile Australia SIM to connect to 4G.
It seems theoretically possible, and I guess the only thing that would happen would be that you would get a non-booting device and would need to flash the original OS back onto the tablet through ADB.

Hah, and I see you also asked exactly the same question on the forums.geforce.com forum.
Man, I wish forums.geforce.com had Tapatalk support. It is a terrible CSS scheme for mobile device interaction.

Thanks bro. Yeah lets hope there's a solution soon.
I'm going to create a new forum post requesting an update on Android 5.0 Factory Images, then I'll take the plunge I reckon!
The other thing you could do would be to Download the last known full recovery image then let the OTA process upgrade the OS to Android 5 (now that all the OTAs for LTE are officially out).
After such a huge change in OS, I'm inclined to reinstall the OS from scratch anyhow. I know folks may scoff at me for doing this, but I did it on my Nexus 5 and the device is running so much better now.

Hi,
I bought my Moto G from an online store in Romania. The phone is great, but my firmware is AsiaRetail and I would like to change it to a European one, or even the Global version. Can that be done without rooting my phone? Can I somehow select which version to install with the upcoming update? If so I would be very grateful!
Thank you!

Yes but it seems like I have to unlock the bootloader. I've had a lot of problems with my last phone and lost the warranty because I wanted a stock android experience. This time I'm trying to keep it simple and safe (as long as I can before I start a flashing spree again)

And talking about the flashing spree, I did surrender to it. Totally not worth it though, at least for now. Stick with stock, don't mess around, it's as good as it gets.

And what would I have to do to install a EU firmware without root or unlocked bootloader? All the guides I've found need at least one. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Dear friend, the following guide is intended for you. It does not require root, nor an unlocked bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
You'll probably want to wait until official 4.4.3 images are available - that way, you won't need to update your system after flashing, making for a very clean installation.
Enjoy
Hi guys,
It's my first post and I'm excited about joining to this forum.
Here's the problem of mine;
My friend from Sweden got me 2x Asus Zenfone 4's, 1 for me and 1 for my mom.
I live in Turkey so the phones does not recieve any signal. I'd like to know is there a way to fix this by installing custom firmwares or such?
Thank you.

This is the software on your phone that Gets your signal but im Not sure.
Hi guys, i've been a guest for many years and always i was able to accomplish what i wanted thanks to all the good tutorials and the ROMs that you make and everything, thanks. But, today i'm out of luck and i hope that any of you can help me.
My Galaxy S8+ was on AT&T and i had to change carrier so i unlocked the phone. Right now i'm under MetroPCS but i find that i dont get more updates. I started to search how to get them and got in some threads were i learned to install stock ROMs with ADB but still without success. Actually, my phone right now is with an older version of software.
The android security patch that i had was from July, i have March 1, 2017.
I found the (supposed) OTA files but when i try to install i get error in the installation.
Someone can tell me the right way to make the firmware upgrade?
Android version 7.0 / Samsung experience version 8.1 / Android security patch level March 1, 2017 / Baseband Version G955USQU1AQC9.
I feel like c9 was a mistake or base FW i Also Have A Att S8+ Unlocked i remmember that when i bout it it updated just cant remmember to what but i Flashed The G955u DE Fw and it updates no problem
Maybe this thread can help u get the answer

Yes, this was the solution. I had to pay for a new AT&T prepaid simcard ($10 usd), activate the device online and then change the date a couple of times until i get the August update. Thank you.

Hello. I just wanted to say thanks for posting. I wish I was more of a developer, I'd sure take a look into it. Maybe someone will be able to help. I read the posts in Reddit as well. Looks like the software is the first software released with the phone. I was thinking there's a way to dd a system image with ADB.
I don't know if you're familiar with that.
Hopefully someone can help.
---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------
Just another idea... I guess you could boot to TWRP since your bootloader is unlocked and make a backup. That way you don't have to flash it.
If you could do that and then PM me I'd like to take a look to see if I could get it workable. Up to you though. Can't believe no one has replied or gotten with you.

You keep posting in different threads hoping for a different answer. Search the original Firehose thread, I asked that question specifically. One person claimed to have success with a Sprint V50, but that's it. Are you going to take the risk based on one anecdotal successful data point? I'm sure not!

Yes, when you connect it to an hdmi usb-c adapter, it goes first into extended desktop, but you can change it through the slide down taskbar option. You can switch there between extended desktop mode and screen clone.
Only a few phones offer the possibility to use an HDMI adapter. Works on LG Wing, LG Velvet, LG V50S (and possibly V50, but can't test it since I don't own this one). Blackberry Key2, and possibly Keyone also offers you the same ability.
Too bad LG leaves the mobile business, they where finally starting to have very interesting phone with real useful specs. Folding devices with dual screens are the best and easiest way to go. And I have had some, since the Sony P tablet (probably the best, but no long term support / update, probably because it wasn't built by their mobile division) and ZTE axon M (same bad update support) being part of my favourites.
At least LG should give a longer support, about three years if you believe what they said.

Dude, for the last time, telegram != xda. You cannot post telegram info here as if the two sync together seamlessly. They are separate stovepipes of development with no crossover. Developers go there because they don't want to follow the xda rules as overbearing as they may be. Until that information is shared and approved at xda it's considered illegitimate.
