[Q] GT-I5800D? SIM Card, ROM Questions.

I r n00b.
I have this GT-I5800D. As I understand it, this is a Canadian only model that comes on a plethora of Canadian Networks such as Rogers and Telus.
I have managed to Root my phone with little hassle. My question however, is to use a different ROM do I have to unlock or do anything otherwise special to this phone to use my SIM?
Also, this will be my first attempt at doing anything like this with a cell phone so general pointers would be much appreciated.

No, just go ahead and flash a ROM but be warned that if a ROM is not according to your area, in your case Canada, then you may not be able to make calls etc. I think. Go onto samfirmware and you can find your regional ROM.

You should maybe flash a custom kernel so you can backup your current rom so you can restore it if you are facing problems like not being able to make calls as mentiones by Smonic earlier. Or you can download a stock rom from sammobile.com and have it ready in case you cant make calls etc. I'll pm you the exact link if you need it.

Well, I'm from India.. Got my phone off eBay, shipped it to a friend who brought the phone for me. I'm not sure if any retail stores still sell it. You can find one on eBay for about 200$. And if you don't mind used mint condition phones or so, they cost only about 150.. Worth every single penny IMO.

Leftovers
You won't find it in retail stores ever... Only used on Ebay or in stock leftovers (if succeed)

I bought my second Relay in http://www.gsmnation.com/ couple of monthes ago. In a brand-new condition. Now it is out of stock there but you can follow this site and check the availability regularly

i bought it trough ebay, its says new in box plus they will unlock it for free so it should be good
we'll got back to the forum when i'll get ti.
by the way if i will vhange the rom to an AOSP one will it break the factoy sim unlock?

No No.. Nothing of that sort should happen..
God forbid,but if it does you can flash back to JB and unlock it using the method listed on Xda..

thanks for the reply, i'm still waiting on the delivery. i will install TWRP or CWMR first and the root the orignal rom and then back it up completely before doing someting.

Dude... there are plenty of new, unused Relays on eBay, im getting one next month.

well i reciveid mine and its unused and factory unlocked as promised. i also got the t-mobile sim card its like i bouht it strait from them, will find a use for it for sure.
i'm still on the stock 4.1.2 rom. the baseband is T699UVBMC5, kernal version of 3.0.31-995683,and the build number is JZO45K.T699UVBMC5.
is this the offical lastes modem/baseband that will aloow me to install the latest 4.4.4 based rom?
i already install CWMR and rooted my device but my question is
if i wil install a 4.4.4 based rom like liquidsmooth or CM11 can i roll back to the orginal rom via a simplae restore operation within TWRP?
as for now the stock rom works preety much prefect. the calls are great, the gps lock i great. no problem with any feture that i use exepet
for a random restart of the device once in a couple of days if i overload it.
i don't want all the t-mobile crap so i'm considering the alternative.

No body can answer me?

You can always go back to stock, the firmware is available on the sammobile website.. U'll have to use odin to flash it though.. As for the latest baseband and modem u're running the latest official software, so flashing over it should not be a problem. Works fine for me..

thank you all for the replies.
i will have a twrp backup and do an odin backup via: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082288
and install liquidsmooth after it.
i still prefer backuping my own phone retaher then flashin frimware from sammobile as it will probley lock my sim back.

[Q] Software update without Verizon wireless?

I recently bought HTC One M8 Verizon for International use and I was wondering in future how can I update it? It says that updates are working in CDMA only.

So you can always manually download the update.zip from this forum for an ota and copy it to the phone and then run it from stock recovery. Your HTC phone is a lot tougher than that silly Sammy [emoji1]

US last country to get updates

Just kidding, Mainly because the "Carriers" have to add their bloat to the software. Sometimes I wish I lived in the UK.

Cloudy G3 supports all variants, also some people have had no problems flashing other roms, just flash a D850 kernel, i came from CM11 to miui, but its didnt have the right kernel, all it did was just black screen, i could go into recovery no problem, im probably going to download the D855 lollipop and D850 kernel today

[DEV] Marshmallow ota zip (do not flash!!!)

Somebody posted this at the Indian forum.
Hope you can make good use of it
It's for the Indian dualsim style
Posted it here for the dev's to take a look at it and create something for all pure and style owners to benefit.
If you do decide to flash it...I'm not responsible for the outcome.

Flashing it on a single-sim version won't brick it. There are several people doing it because they want to get dual-sim working. I am currently making a backup and trying to flash it on a german 1572.

Like I said. I'm not responsible.

Downloading and backing up current rom.
Edit:
Getting this error: error executing updater binary in zip
Will take a closer look at this.

Like i mentioned, this rom is for the Indian dualsim version and probably won't work on other style/pure phones
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA Free mobile app

And I repeat: It doesn't brick the device! It's the same like with the Moto X Play. You can also flash on a single sim device a dual sim rom.

Where did I mention anything about bricking?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Oky to explain what changes for a single sim Version: you get a menu for dual sim, but the options change nothing.

Hi @alex1301. I am from Australia. I have a single Sim XT1572. Can you point me in the direction of how to flash the new Indian OTA zip going around? Was there any complications doing it on your European XT1572?
Also do you know what is the safe way to make a backup of my stock 5.1.1 rom in case I brick it and need to try and flash a back? I am familiar with Nexus phones but unsure how this works with Motorolas. Thanks!

The problem at the moment is that it doesn't flash correctly because it only patches existing files. We need to wait for someone who makes a backup of an updated factory resetted marshmallow rom.
