I'Ve just read that a new version of windows phone internals will be released in a few days. I've got a lumia 1520 rm 939 (China version of firmware) without 4g but with the same 3g bands of rm937 (Global version) .
I want to know if the new version of WPI will allow me to flash rm937 firmware, unlocking the bootloader, in order to unlock the 4g feature.
Thanks.

I was wondering, With my old nokia, to install a a different but 'Official' rom all that had to be done was to change the product code for the Nokia device, eg 2201 would be vodafone uk 2202 would be Nokia Euro unbranded.
I was wondering would it be possible for this to be done with an android device, (install uk unbranded) but also recieve all other updated released by HTC like a normal unbradned user, as this is what could be done on a nokia.
HTC must have some way to idenfy what type of phone is what (UK Voda branded or otherwise)
or would I simply have to wait for root/s-off and then install the Eu rom (and still be able to install updates released by HTC)
The way they identify which gets which, is by the rom on it, the rom version is the product id When we get open bootloader we can flash some other rom, and then install updates from that country
Here is my question I have an HTC 7 PRO (aka HTC ARRIVE,HTC GOLD) the model is HTC USCCHTC-PC93100 I have a student unlock but I need a full unlock. I am new to rom flashing on windows phones im used to jailbreaking and rooting android and ios. I was looking at try to flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499981 to my phone what I want to know is is it possible to flash this to my model of HTC and if I do flash it will it will I have to take my phone back to US cellular to have them reprogram the phone to their network or will it work just like normal after flashing any adive would help thanks.
Do you have a GOLD (also known as the 7 Pro) or a GOLD_C (also known as the Arrive)? The GOLD is a GSM phone, and won't work on Sprint or any other CDMA carrier. The Arrive is a CDMA phone and won't work on T-Mobile or any other GSM carrier. Flashing the ROM won't help here, either - this is a hardware issue (literally, the radios are different, plus GSM phones have SIM card slots and CDMA phones usually don't). Do *not* attempt to flash a GOLD_C ROM to a GOLD or vice-versa; it'll probably fail but if it doesn't you may make the phone unusable and unrecoverable short of using a JTAG connection.
However, if you want to flash a GSM ROM to a GSM phone, or a CDMA ROM to a CDMA phone, go ahead. However, that won't remove the SIM-lock if there is one. The odds are, if the phone can't be activated with your preferred carrier right now, re-flashing the ROM won't help.
US Cellular says its a 7 PRO but model says 93100 which is the arrive it doesn't have a sim slot so it is a CDMA and DFTs XSPL Tool says its a GOLD_C it has spl version 4.1.230513.1 I have tried the spl downgrade tool but it fails at 4 percent and says invalid vendor ID but if I did manage to flash it would if have to be reprogramed by us cellular to work again since its CDMA and not a sim card
I ran a system information tool and it reports the phone as the HTC arrive so I'm not sure why us cellular markets the phone as the 7 pro but it is definitely the HTC arrive gold_c with a sol of 4.3
Try to flash the older version of your US cellular radio (download from the website in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427907)
And then try to flash it, using the directions listed here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295068
In other words, you want to downgrade your SPL with just a radio flash (task 00). It is not necessary to flash the whole ROM. (Or you can do a hard reset - no big deal, as you will loose all your stuff anyway if you do flash a new ROM)
Then, you can go ahead and try to change RSPL and flash the ROM to see if it works. If not, not big deal, can always flash back your stock rom (also avail on above web site)
I have managed to downgrade my htc arrive us cellular spl and I used the xspl tool to install rspl and hspl now is it possible for me to flash this rom image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499981
the only thing is the rom image says gold_c_sprint and my carrier is us cellular will I be able to flash this and use the phone like normally or will I have to take the phone back to us cellular after flashing and have them set the phone back up with there network
I have managed to flash my phone with the rom I posted and it still works but all branding on the phone is now sprint is there any way to get the branding back to US Cellular via reg edit for warranty purposes I have went into
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\ and changed mobile operator to USC-US which is US cellular
I also changed the MODeviceName into USCCHTC-PC93100 which was the original name of the device. but im not sure if there's anything else that need to be changed and I cant figure out how to get the marketplace back to the us cellular marketplace they had apps that were only available when it was set up with us cell
I would be careful of changing things in DeviceTargetingInfo; poke the wrong setting and your Marketplace (and all apps installed from it) can stop working or your phone may receive an update that damages it due to an incompatibility with a prior update from a different MO or something.
There is a "Marketplace Config" app available that allows you to select the OEM and MO marketplaces. On a GSM phone, the MO marketplace is usually automatically switched depending on the SIM card (this switch may take a day or two).
Another option would be to start with the US Cellular ROM, and customize it with full-unlock and any other changes you want. This is not my area, though; I have no real experience with creating custom ROMs but there are entire sections of this forum devoted to the topic.
that might be what I have to do is just make a custom us cellular rom Ill look for a section in the fourm to see what I can find on how to make a custom rom

Yahooo! i have found my radio. just googled htc 7 pro shipped rom.
Well, hi folks...
I recently bought a Nokia Lumia 710 but and I didn't understand a lot about the Windows Phone 7.5, and so I'm here learning...
First of all I think is worth say my Nokia is running Build 12121 Tango and that is was updated via navifirm and ncs...
I first got this issue when I tried to flash a Chinese build 12180 Tango and Support Tool gave an error: Signature Verification Failed... That was ok, I didn't need that update anyway... but now I was trying to downgrade my phone's boot-loader to qualcom's but apparently ncs keep giving me this same error... I tried to another rom (an old one, 12120) just to test, but this time it was from my country, and now it worked. Then, apparently this issue occurs when I try to flash another country's rom, but I need to in order to downgrade to qualcom's bootloader (once I have it dload). My country is Brazil, my current rom is branded by Claro Brazil (actually, the original carrier once bought from).
Is there anyway I can get it working...
P.S.: I'm trying to flash a Russian variant build 12120 that was given here in this tuto: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599401
Hi, I bought a oneplus 8 phone from verizon USA I'm from Europe (Romania) and I'm on Orange, I saw that on oxygen update my device is not compatible with local installation, for reasons of state policies that do not allow the user to access the firmware, you can tell me if I will continue to receive the update, that I still have android 10 and I'm afraid I can no longer update
Hello, man how you unlock your sim? I am out of the USA and cannot use with any carrier. Thanks.
You should be on 11 now. It may not be able to update due to not being on Verizon's network. The only way to fix that would be to convert to global but I'm not sure how to do that on a Verizon device as they don't offer the bootloader unlock token service. I know there is a thread about it on here though.
Hello, I would like to preface this by saying that I don't actually live in the US. I got this used unlocked AT&T Galaxy S21+ a few months back and an issue I noticed after using it for a while was the fact I was not receiving any OTA updates due to the fact I was not using an AT&T SIM card.
Now I want to switch AT&T to carrier-free firmware where I will be able to get regular OTA updates automatically
My current specs:
Model: SM-G996U
chip: Snapdragon 888
Baseband version : G996USQU1ATLF
CSC : G996UOYN1ATLF
AP/CP : G996USQU1ATLF
Is it suitable for installation?
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g.../SM-G996U/USC/download/G996USQU5CVDB/1640229/
N.B/: May doing this flash will brick or damage my phone?
On SamMobile, underneath my device model, there list of several firmware labeled with different US carriers. As long as the firmware I flash is under the model number I have (SM-G996U), nothing should break, right?
Please suggest me firmware. I want to get rid of carrier barrier and want to get regular updates automatically safely.
Did you try the rom? I have the same problem
OTA is CSC based. You'd have to use Samkey to unlock the CSC to a unlocked US one.
Flash the u1 xaa firmware. Works on my phone in canada
I have a similar issue!
So I received a refurbished S21+, it is unlocked and all but it has AT&T bloatware and I can't update to oneui 5.0... I live in italy but this phone comes from Germany and apparently has a US AT&T firmware (SM-G996U-OYN-ATT). I was following a tutorial with odin to flash to SM-G996B with ITV, which is the italian version with android 12 and oneui 4.1.1 is it safe to do so and then get the android 13 update the standard way? Could I straight up get android 13 and oneui 5 flashing the most recent rom or is it even worse?
The other solution I thought about is that I could just get the U1 XAA, but i have U for now and I don't quite understand if it's completely risk free or not.
