Hi all,
I bought Galaxy S7 Snapdragon SM-G9300 model. But when i opened and setup the phone, i couldn't see APPS button and i can't make any firmware update in settings !!
I have 2 years warranty and i can't root the phone. So, is there any official way to make this phone a normal S7 !?
I need your advices. Thanks
You could try flashing firmware with Odin, it doesn't require root and won't affect warranty. http://updato.com has firmware files for various models and countries, as well as a flashing guide
You can root the phone and method is in a chinese website. I can show you because i`m chinese. And if you want to update you can use Odin to flash newest ROM.

I already flashed many times with Odin but in "Sammobile" and in "Uptado" when i search SM-G9300, there is only OPEN CHINA firmwares.Even i try them, all of them are being installed with Chinese settings and without Google apps.

Chinese open rom ROM need you to install play store manually and other google apps.

Selam Alper,
I downloaded the latest firmware from SAMMOBILE the rooted it. After root, you can select Turkish language and do many other things.

Hello Everyone,
a friend brought me a Mate 8 from China and I want to switch from the AL10 version to an international one to get rid of the chinese base and to reintroduce google play and other apps to the phone. I simply dont speak chinese, you know?
The details:
Found Phone : HUAWEI NXT-AL10
Firmware : NXT-C00B197
I managed to unlock bootloader, get a twrp on in and to install SuperUser. The last two was difficult and I used the SRK tool from sonboons.
My first issue - I never could tick the function "unlock OEM" or so, because it is simply not shown in the "Developer Options". Is it ok to ignore that?
My second issue - Which Roms should I load onto my SDCard before wiping and installing them? When I look through the forums it always says something like "Before you flash this, go flash Version B1xx and then B3xx. Which Roms exactly need I flash in order to get from my B197 to a stock rom with google apps or a customized rom where I have google apps, minor optimazations and no bloatware?
If you have suggestions, you have my unlimited gratitude

You can find all the official stock firmware here: Huawei Mate 8 Stock Firmware official thread
With regard to the bootloader, if you managed to install TWRP then your bootloader is already unlocked.

Thanks, the first link looked promising until I got to step 6 where the files of the oeminfo and custom.bin (C432) need to be downloaded - no longer available
Please help! I'll keep looking in the meantime...
Here is it for C432

Well i had the firmware version DD from Peru (PET) with a working playstore (certified) and with netflix appearing in the search of playstore.
This morning i flashed G955FXXU1AQDG (PHN) including OXM CSC, after that my playtore showed that my device was not certified and netflix didnt appear in the search...
I have no idea whats happening, im not rooted or anything i have the exynos G955F version and everything happened cause i flashed PHN firmware, now i cant go back cause the latest version in my original firmware (PET), is DD so i cant downgrade.
And yes i cleared cache data in playtore, factory reset the device and reflashed the new firmware with the same results.
Pushed latest version of Playstore in apkmirror and still cant find netflix in the playstore, i had to download netflix from apkmirror too, theres no issue installing it but im wondering this isse is going to affect other apps or making more problems later.

You changed the device region that why Netflix is not showing in playstore.
Try to go to playstore then account/payment method/more payment settings/settings and change the country save it. Restart your phone and check again

The main cause of Netflix disappearing from the playstore is changing the region or the device id make sure your device id*model is correct. That's what i know lets hope xda members find other solutions for you. Cheers

You CAN'T flash every firmware on your device!
You have to check what your CSC is!
Your device is from Peru (PET) which uses the Multi-CSC OWA
Now you have flashed the Multi-CSC OXM
THAT'S the reason you've problems with your device!
I was having issues with netflix as it was avaiable in playstore ,but the apk didnot work too.
At google play store about menu there was device not certified so i knew this was the main reason behind all this.
Fix:
1. Goto developers option and turn off OEM unlock .
2. Restart
3. Disable Google Playstore and return to stock app.
4. Clear cache and data
5. Enable it
6. Happy Streaming. ?
Hi all,
I bought one HTC U11+ china version, without google apps.
How to How to install google apps for it.
Pls help me. Thks so much
Hi,
Are you sure that you need to install google apps again on a Google Android smart phone? or china version has a deep-modified knockoff Android?
If so, I think you may wait for S-OFF patiently, then write a different CID and flash with ROMs from normal world.

You must not know much about chinese devices lol, it is common that they come without google services if on chinese firmware.
No google services = no playstore or apps and other missing items.

Well I didn't find a way to install it through hisuite. But you can do it through Huawei Firmware Finder on the play store. Only thing is you need to know which firmware you need to install.

If you modify your phone ( root ) you will loose the option to update ( OTA update ).
If you want to update you phone you will have to download firmware and flash with Odin. Everytime that you update firmware you will have to re-root you phone again.

Generally yes ( mainly with rooting )
You can backup your app/data by using something like Google backup service or smart switch ( PC app ).
Hey guys,
Hopefully I'm not requesteing a completely useless thing cause I haven't found a fix so far. Since it's somehow related to firmware flashing via Odin, I chose to ask in this thread.
I bought my Galaxy S8+ a while ago and carrier unlocked it (It was on Vodafone Romania). Ever since unlocking the carrier, I can't seem to receive any firmware updates for some reason.
Smart switch says I'm at the latest firmware version but according to Sammobile, I'm far from being at the last version. (Still Android 8 on it)
My phone is not rooted (I haven't felt the need to root it so far because it's been doing great). Any ideas how can I fix this and install the latest firmware?
If I download the latest Romania firmware from sammobile (carrier-free version) and flash it through Odin, would it work or I'd encounter a difference because the CSC is Vodafone Romania?
Thanks!
Hey is there a way to root the SM-G975U with security update on july 1, android pie, and a way to unroot? (like the stock rom files)
