You bought the phone used I assume? hence it being already rooted and 0x1?
If you update to MJ7 (latest) yes you will lose root because it comes with a new bootloader, but since you are 0x1 already you can re-root without worrying about your warranty.
You may need to be careful regarding REGION Lock though... Not sure if updating reactivates it or not. So read up loads before you do anything to it!
thanks i see, mmmm but how this region lock work i mean this phone is from europe that mean i can only put oficial rom from there ? or it will work whit all other rom whitout a problem
REGION Lock is where the phone is locked to a certain region aka Europe / USA / Latin America etc, If your phone is the European model in theory it won't work where you are presently, Unless the region lock has been disabled via the method Samsung require (country of purchase - one 5 minute phone call made to release the lock, so an EU simcard used first)
Hey guys,
I have a G920F locked to all of Europe, if I flash an Australian ROM (where I'm from), will it remove the region lock and let me use Australian sim cards?
Same here
I've got the same problem / question for my European bought s6 edge g925f. I'm very tempted to flash to the Australian rom.
2 days ago I got in touch with Samsung Germany and got very quick replies. After giving them the imei number they said unlocking should not be a problem and they will get back to me with the unlock code "within a few days". I'll wait to give that a try first.
Did you try flashing the Australian rom yet?
I have a galaxy s6 edge (SM-G9250) with chinese firmware, which does not support google apps.
Is there a way to flash Hong Kong base firmware ( or any country ) on this device.
I already try to flash it but all I get is error. I try installing twrp on my phone but it seems that this model is not yet supported.
anyone here with this kind of problem.?
Hi
I have a S7 G930F (single sim) version. It has an XSG firmware from the UAE (Phone is from Dubai).
I'm trying to work out how samsung pay will work when available in the UK. I can access the app now without any issues.
Would it detect that I'm not on a BTU (UK) firmware and not let Samsung pay work or is it depended on if I am using a UK Sim etc?
I guess the easy answer to this would be ' Has anyone used their current european G930/G935 in the US on Samsung Pay with a US sim card and had it work?
I can't flash BTU firmware and CSC as Samsung Pay will only ever work on the original CSC and even when installing new firmware and CSC from another region is keeps a log of the original CSC on the phone and detects a modification.
My know is still 0x0 by the way as I've only used Odin with stock firmware.
Hi,
I am from India and I wish to buy a brand new S8+. But the cost from Samsung India is quite high than the same from ebay which is $150 lesser than the Samsung India Price. So,I am now planning to buy the device from ebay (I know that it is a genuine Original Samsung device because of the seller). This device is imported from middle east (Unlocked). Now my question is that, Once i bought the device from ebay and flash the official S8+ ROM of India (via Sammobile using ODIN), will such activity trip my Knox counter or will treat this as an unauthorized ROM. I need to use Samsung Pay and Knox features and wanted to keep my device intact (un-rooted and official).
NOTE: Since, I did not bought the device from Samsung India, I may not get the warranty from them; I am ok with that. What I care more is that. will flashing the official ROM of a country (in this case India) into a foreign device (which is from Middle east, that is knox safe) will trip the knox and make unusable to use Samsung pay and other security features? Will I get OTA of India firmware whenever there is an update? Shall I go ahead with this purchase from ebay and flash India ROM from Sammobile?
Please clarify.
No. Knox will stay 0x0.
yes to all your questions
My S8+ got from UAE ( firmware changed to India) just got an update yesterday, pay works, knox not tripped.
Nah it wont trip knox. It will be same as indian unrooted device.
