Hi All,
My Wifi and Bluetooth communication is damaged on my Samsung s7 duos (G930FD). My wifi and bluetooth will not turn on regardless of the Rom installed (Stock or Custom). I've flashed the superman rom and have been using my phone without wifi or bluetooth since a month after purchase (5 months now).
I purchased the phone in bangkok and would like to get the phone repaired in Germany. Does anyone have experience with getting a phone from a different region repaired in their home country? Additionally, from everything I can see, the hardware specs are the same for the G930FD and G930F European model regarding the wifi and bluetooth.
Any insight would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks all!!
Hi,
I would first check if your phone is genuine, i found it suspicious that both communication hardware failed just like that after you flashed a rom, i mean original BT and WIFI cards have a specific drivers attached to it and won't work with a knock off. Maybe a sign?
You have some apps in the play store to check it out.
If it's genuine, register the phone on the samsung website and open a ticket, they'll probably help you out.
Good luck.

Awesome and thanks for the advice. I know it's definitely genuine as i bought it from a Samsung store. I will register it today and check to see whether they can get back to me. Thanks for the response!!!

HTC Touch Pro ROM code for Hutchison ‘3’ Network - version 1.90.861.7
Can be download in the HTC e-club at http://www.htc.com/au
Too bad there isn't any list towards what had been fixed. Fingers crossed for those have problem with phone rebooting while roaming.
Do you know if there is also a radio rom included? And if so, which version?

I'd like to know this also, i can't check at the minute as im at work, but will do when i get home unless someone beats me to it which they probably will, ahem... Jcepi2005... lol
I don't think this version is new? I got my Touch Pro last Tuesday and it has version 1.90.861.7 on it already.
I tried to login to the HTC eClub Australia website and it asked me to register. During registration it asked for my HW S/N, which I got from the back of my handset. But it doesn't seem to accept the S/N! All I get is "Sorry! Your hardware serial key data is not correct !"
I bought the phone from Handtec UK. Does it mean I would need to register in the UK site only?
Yes, u can register at UK site only.

My rom is 1.90.861.7 out of the box from the 3 network. Should i go on and apply the "update" anyway?
Mine (received it during the last week of October), also has this version on it already.
Mine has this version too.
I got mine well over 2 weeks ago and I have that version...
To the poster who was asking whether they should install it anyway... I'd say no. Not worth the time if the version numbers match up...
will i see any benifit of upgrading to the Aus 3 ROM? I'm using it on 3, but on the stock rom i got when i ordered it from the UK...
People I had the 861.6 rom on my Touch Pro from 3 Aus and upgrading to this 861.7 rom has improved GPS acquisition time dramatically and the device seems to run smoother to me. I was one of the very first in their front door to buy it when it came in a month ago.
If you have .6 I recommend it. If you already have .7 then theres nothing to be gained. Cheers
Anyone willing to give me a copy of the new 3 AU ROM? I bought my TP from Europe so I can't register with HTC AU. Hopefully I will see some improvements even though I have no major issues at the moment. You just can't have enough right?
Bump. Anyone?

Did you ever manage to get the LTE version working in the UK? Would also be interested to know where you got it from as I can't find an LTE for sale anywhere.
Connection the European SIM

I am interested in that too because i am struggeling with the same issue. The watch I have is an unlocked Korean version with a Tk telecom branding.
Maybe there is a complete neutral firmware for the LTE, that allows the connections of an ESIM via Gear App, as it was allowed with the Gear S2?
GrandMasterPlank. Not really tried yet, to get it working. Got it off Ebay, the same as Pixmixa the Tk telecom branded one. Think it will work has the same radio's as the Gear S2, that O2 were selling for a short time last year. But do not know if any mobile network will connect it, and how helpful they would be. Got this one because it has the possibility to connect to the mobile phone network, not sure if it ever will. But a least it can make an emergency call if i need to, not tried but said I can.
UK networks don't support esims at the moment so I doubt you'll get it to work

How did the scan of the sim card worked? Did it work in the UK or which country? Which carrier(s)? Thanks

Vodafone Germany still offers the previous S2 and shows how the activtion process works. Here you can see:
vodafone.de/hilfe/samsung/gear-s2.html#so-aktivieren-sie-das-esim-profil-fuer-die-samsung-gear-s2-classic-3g-smartwatch
(Please fullfilll the beginning of the URL, I am not allowed to post Links.)
Unfortunately, the app does not offer the menu for the S3 But its at least just a software issue, isnt it?
Pixmixa I have seen the same video, somewhere online, in english. Here is my best guess what appends the Usim/esim need to be registered on the mobile network. When you turn the S3 on it looks for a uk ICCID which is listed under Gear info/About device the first bit 898205 is for the country eg it is set for Korea. This need to be changed, which might be possible as the is a small slot at the bottom of the watch. Looks like a micro usb connection, which i have read on XDA developer is used to reprogram the esim. esims must work in the UK because the Gear S2 was being sold by O2, and i spoke to someone at O2, who phoned someone he worked with who a bought the (o2.co.uk/shop/smartwatches/samsung/gear-s2-classic-3g/). Got a QR code with it and was using it to make and receive calls.

Thank you, that is very interesting information. And you are right, there is a small docking port hidden under a plastic cap close to the wrist at the S3 too. Do you have any further information concering the reprogramming process? Maybe the process for S2 and S3 ist the same and someone who can do it for S2 can do it fo the S3 as well.
Is the docking port a micro usb connection? Not taken the plug out on mine. I was hope some Xda expert would know how to reprogram the esim.

No it is not. The watchside looks like something special. See this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...-providers-t3501589/post70423547#post70423547
Does remind me of my connection on the gear S. Which if I remember correctly you can connect via USB to your computer.
Hi there.
NAND-chip in my N8000 is died.
I tried to find a "new" motherboard for it.
It costs $72, but a motherboard for N8005 costs $35.
I want to buy the last one (N8005) but I cannot find any ROMs (at least android 7) for it.
Will ROMs for N8000 work in a N8005?
I do not care about 3G and calls. I use WIFI only.
Never seen that model N8005.
It was a limited production model for Turkey only .
You can search the forum / google for N8005 .
As a N8005 owner myself; AFAIK, the only difference is the lack of Phone application in the factory ROM. The reason behind it was a tax legislation for devices with SIM cards that can make phone calls, so without the Phone app, the applied tax was way less.
I've installed several N8000 ROMs over the years without any problems, or at least not that I remember off.

Dear UNOPARATOR,

I used to run Android Revolution HD (up to the latest version which was 21.0) back in the day.
A couple of months ago, I resurrected my device from the shelves and installed a version/derivative of Lineage 14.1 but not sure which one.
But I'm having random shutdowns/reboots, changed my charging port etc. Not sure if the device or the ROM is to blame...
Sorry for late reply.
Hi, I had a Gear S3 Classic from the UK which broke whilst charging, I bought a replacement mainboard and installed it successfully (phew!) but after turning it on it's a South Korean model (SM-R775S).
It's all in English now but it has different apps that are installed and I'd like it how my original watch was, is there a way to do this via the options or a firmware change?
Thanks.
Only to be sure...
Your dead Board is SM-R770 BT only...
And now you have ""Jackpot"" with Korean LTE?
Is this correct?
Because Korean LTE is not first choice to change something...
With SM-R775S you have little bit "luck"...
Firmware is available...
For SM-R765 not...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/please-help-bricked-gear-s3-sm-r765s-t3665558
So you have not really easy mission...
Best Regards
Hi, yes it was a SM-770 that I bought in the UK, it fried when I used a different wireless charger on it
The replacement I received from eBay is a SM-R775S, I don't know if it's LTE or not, so by jackpot do you mean I have been lucky by getting this mainboard?
I've actually got used to it now, I've managed to delete a couple of the apps that are in Korean and it's all working pretty much how the old one was, I'm a bit OCD when it comes to things like that but so far I'm ok
Thanks for the reply.
Hi,
I'm trying to get my Xperia 5iii vowifi working on Freedom mobile in Canada.
I want to test if they USA customization would work.
It might not, I see my XA2 H3123 had a customization for Freedom, which I know won't exist on anything newer.
I can see in xperifirm a usa customization for the 1iii with firmware 61.0.A.23.20
For the 5iii there is no USA customization but has the same firmware number.
Is there a usa customiztion on the way? Or can I download the firmware for the 1iii
It seems the phone is not out in the US yet. That’s what I’m waiting for to pick one up. I’ve seen pre-orders at US retailers saying Jan 11 is the date they will ship. So, you might find the firmware in a few weeks. I wouldn’t recommend trying to load the 1 III firmware.
Hi @Yakkosmurf ,
Thanks for the reply!
I'm really torn between trying to get this to work, and selling the device before messing around with it.
I think I'm going to give the MBN method a try
Any updates on this?
Several news articles say the 5 iii is out in USA now, but I cannot find any stores shipping or carrying it in north america (Canada)
I do find shippers selling what they call the "international version", apparently versions from Taiwan or Hong Kong.
If it turns out the "international" 5 iii is the same as the USA 5 iii and can just be reflashed to USA (I did this once with an older xperia) now the USA 5 iiithen that starts to look like a possibility…
Confusing me further the "international" XPeria 5 III is model number XQ-BQ72 and the USA model number is XQ-BQ62. No idea if there's an actual difference.
Hi @mcc111 ,
I'll tell you what's happened with mine. I bought the XQ-BQ72 and it does work on the networks here, but you can't get any of the added services like VoLTE or VoWifi (this one was important for my uses).
I tried flashing most of the roms from XQ-BQ72, but it seems the problem is there needs to be a configuration file in the modem, which basically won't exist if they haven't launched in the country (none for Canada).
I then tried flashing XQ-BQ52 which seems to be the European model, but that was even worse. The signal would connect and disconnect repeatedly, so there might be some hardware difference keeping it from playing nicely. Or, the 52 just has modem settings that don't work here. But I am not experienced enough to know which.
Because of that, I doubt flashing the 62 is a good idea. I haven't tried because I gave the phone to my wife who doesn't need the extra network features, and it'll be a headache to take back to screw around with more.
I bet since the 62 has been launched, it'll be available online eventually.

Can you discribe who you got to flash the os? I tried flahstool but it didn't recognize my 5iii, then I tried newsflasher and got stuck in a boot loop. Saw a couple people in the newflasher thread getting bootloops as well.
Do you mind share your process?
There is a solution reported as working for both Xperia 1 III & Xperia 5 III posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/5ii-1-5iii-volte-patch-guide-to-release-the-root.4363269/
So, can anyone confirm that they were able to Flash a Xperia 5 III US Rom with 5G working, VolLTE and Volwifi working?

I used new flasher.
Newflasher guide to install new firmware for Xperia XZ Premium, XZ1 and more | Xperia Blog
One of the most frequent questions we get asked from Sony Xperia owners is how to change the firmware. Whether that relates to upgrading/downgrading major Android versions, debranding the handset or simply changing the firmware region for faster updates. Using
www.xperiablog.net
This was a few months ago. My flashing to other firmwares for the same model worked fine, but none had the modem configurations to work with freedom. If I flashed the other model, my cellular connection wouldn't work properly.
I haven't tried the USA version, and can't as I gave the phone to my wife who doesn't need the wifi calling.

I couldn't get this to work in Canada, but I'd love to hear if anyone else got it to work.
My understanding of this method is your configuration files need to exist on some other version, which it seems mine were not.
A note, it turns out that the XQ-BQ72 (international) and XQ-BQ62 (usa) actually support different bands. The XQ-BQ62 supports more bands. You can see this on this site and some other places: https://www.phonemore.com/compare/p...xq-bq72-vs-sony-xperia-5-iii-xq-bq62/17024281
The bands missing on the XQ-BQ72 are N20, N66, and N71.
No idea whether the remaining bands are adequate for USA 5G and/or on which providers.
I eventually got a XQ-BQ62. I'm having some issues with it but I'll make a new thread for that.
