Anyone knows about how to get an international firmware for "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9507V, China Unicom". i bought the phone in China and there are few things for which i want to change the software to any international one.
Some of the issues are,
Can't install Google play or store
Can't install Samsung Keyboard
Only have 3 languages, Chinese, Korean and English
And there is another problem with the phone, i.e. the screen flickering issue. i searched the internet, a lot of S4 users are complaining about it. My S4 flickers only while calling or receiving a call in GSM, when the signals are low and the flickering is just like when a magnet is brought near a TV.
Any solutions... I will be thankful....

Thank you and thread closed!
I was looking for Samsung Galaxy S3 to use on Straight Talk. It was for the nice lady who works the phones out my place of employment.
I found a great deal on craigslist, US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-530R) I check the ESN, its not stolen.
I use the Straight Talk BYOP Finder tool to check compatibility. It tells me as what I learn later to be a "generic CDMA message" that it spits out for every CDMA ESN saying it will work with a network access code
The phone is not compatible they say, they don't care their tool didn't even get me some McDonalds before it ****ed me.
What can I do with this phone? US Cellular is more expensive than most plans around here at least and there is no US Cellular store within 100 miles.
Thank you for any time you spend here, you're all given a limited amount of time on this earth and you're spending some of it helping a stranger with a phone problem. Thank you. Happy Newyears!
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your issue that has a solution. If your phone supports the radio bands on straight talk, it should be possible. Not sure if you need to sim unlock the device also.
Best to ask for help in this dedicated help thread in your device section,

hi, i've got a phone, samsung galaxy s4 (32gb) and i've been using it without any issues for months, but recently it just stoped recieving or making calls.
on the notification bar it say "no registed network". I tooked it to a sansung center after changing my sim card, to eliminate the possibility of the issue be on the sim or network operator, and there they told me there was something wrong with my IMEI.
I checked it and this is the number that appears when I type "*#06#' : 004999010640000/01
as you see, this is is wrong, and its nothing like the IMEI number that is on the back of the celphone. the thing is that that happened by itself, I haven't done anything different from calling, texting and occasionally gaming. at the samsung center from my town they apparently didint know what to do... can anybody help me?

New to xda and adroid alike. I have several devices and not just android so i have a proposition. List of devives at end. If someone can walk me through the complete process of rooting and installing custom roms and everything else step by step from beginning to end on one of my devices then i would offer one of the others up for trial purposes as long as whoever tries their very best not to brick it as warranty will be out the window of course. Almost all are still under warranty and most are rather expensive.
The at&t s7 edge is what i would like to root but may be better if i learn on something more practical and less expensive. I am pretty open EXCEPT the to s7's are off limits u til i am positive whoever may take me up on this knows exactly what they are doing. I really dont need any bricks as my house is wood and vinyl.
Here is what i have from cheapest up at least in what i see in them.

*ipad mini 2
As you can see i have a couple and always picking up others if i can get a deal on them. The s7's i think i want to wait on unless i can find some spares reasonably priced but just about any of the rest should be fair game depending. Like i said teach me, and experiment all at the same time. If there are more than one person/people that want to take me up on this then maybe we can work something out or ill just have to choose which to do. Endgame is to be able to without hesitation be confident enough to pick up any android and do whatever is possible with it, i mean isnt that what androids are all about?
