Discover model (verizon/international) by software? - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Hello,
I'm thinking about buying an used Pixel, international version at my local market.
He doesn't have the box anymore, what I have is the screenshot below.
Is there a way to discover the version by these? Or by software? (I can ask for more info)

If it's international or Verizon.
How do you know that the bootloader is unlocked?

well i mean in the question you stated its international firstly, but i am 99% certain for it to be running OPR6 that has to be manually flashed which requires bootloader unlock. Cant say as to whether or not this is the international version but it is definitely the google play store version and not the verizon one.

Just asking sincerely, since I've never bothered opting in to the betas, but can't users with the Verizon locked version opt into the beta releases through the web - in which case they then receive an OTA to the beta, not manually flash?

hmm actually maybe but im not too sure, if thats the case then no you cant tell through this image per se but googling the baseband and build number may tell you what version it is too

if the OEM unlocking option is greyed out as shown in the screenshot then the phone is very probably from Verizon.

Stock to Sense 5

I'm trying to update my Evita phone to the newest Sense 5 OTA. Currently, I'm on 4.0.3. I've modified the **** out of this phone previously, I have SuperCID and the bootloader is unlocked, but I flashed a RUU before I gave it to my brother and now the hboot is at 1.01.0000. Radio is 0.15.3201.09. Phone is currently unrooted. I'm wondering what my options are now.
I have the OTApkg for the Sense 5 update, but when I try to apply it in stock recovery, I get an error like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note that I did do this on stock recovery and did not wipe beforehand. Not sure if it makes a difference, but based on the error, I think I may have to update to a newer stock version for it to work? I'm not 100% certain, but I figured I'd put this out there before I did anything further to avoid messing things up. I'd appreciate some quick help on this. Thanks!

That hboot and radio number are really old. It was actually a leak before the phone was even released. That is a pretty weird RUU to have flashed.

It absolutely makes a difference. The phone needs to be up to date in order for the OTA to install. OTAs often do not have all modules present (such as hboot modules). They just include what has been changed since the previous OTAs. Meaning if the OTA had actually installed (on your device which is missing several OTAs), you probably would have bricked your phone.
You need to update to 3.18 before you can install the Sense 5 update.

Where can i download the latest application? I have an older version I found on the internet that I am about to use to attempt unlocking a Samsung Emerge SM-J327P. Would love to have the newest out. I see a different (looks newer) version in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQXvCl0ZYFQ
This handset (J327P) is a hard one to unlock. I already tried the bit3 firmware / combo flash method but MY Z3X SamsungToolPRO wouldn't read the SPC / MSL for some reason. I don't know of anything else that will. My Octoplus box doesn't seem to be able to do it either unless i'm missing something. So trying this solution on the firmware indicated in the video I have already flashed. Hopefully all will work!
Hi there. Just want to say Hats off to CdmaDev Yemen Team, Mysterious Dev, and the rest of you guys lately. You have really pulled through with Sprint with their latest RSA in place and all. Not to mention Tracfone and StraightTalk!! I speak with some of your team now and hope to work on a few things in the future. I started the J337P unlock here to see if i could do this one and you guys already had it done. =] BillA and Austin? i think mentioned on GSM-F.

I have a SM-J337P phone that I need to unlock from the Sprint network. The cdma-yemen.com website is gone. Do you have a copy of the software mentioned in the first post or some other free software to do it?

Is it possible to switch GM1910 to European ROM without unlock or root?

Hi all,
sorry if this has been asked and answered (I did search first).
My daughter ordered a Oneplus 7 Pro from a European seller but it arrived with Chinese writing on the back.
A quick search of the text "GM1910" reveals it to be a Chinese model (see picture)
So our options are to try for refund or if possible, change the OS.
So my question is, is it possible to change the ROM to European (UK) without unlocking the bootloader or rooting (she uses apps that wont work rooted/unlocked)
Thanks, Steve.
(EDIT...)
Some additional questions...
* What ROM is it likely to have pre-installed?
* Will it have English already?
* Is it likely to be littered with Chinese apps?

I bought a GM1910 and it came with Oxygen OS, not with the Chinese version. Currently it's updated to 10.3.0.
Just open it and power it on.
I think these are sold in HK market so it comes preinstalled with OxygenOS

Hi xander, thanks for the heads up.
You were correct, it did have oxygen (v9.x) so I got the EU rom and did a "local upgrade"
For anyone reading this in future...
1. download the GM21BA EU ROM (V10.0.3 at time of writing)
2. copy it to "internal storage" area of phone
3. in phone, open settings > system > system updates > menu (gear icon) > local upgrade
easy peasy.
Cheers.
As long as the update is the same or higher then what you have on it now. Let's say your on the 10.0.3 gm21ba which is the 1913 then you can download the update gm21aa 10.3.0 for the 1917 and will succeed. I have the 1910 and done this quote a few times. I read the the 1910 is the only one that can be cross flashed but that I have not tested. Flashing didn't really change much in my opinion. Also you won't get any additional lte bands with just by flashing. If you do update and your stock and bootloader is not unlocked then you cannot downgrade unless you do get your bootloader unlocked

Question Switch firmware versions // Remove China censorship

Hi everyone,
i'm currently living as an expat in China and will do so for the next two years.
I bought a Samsung Tab 7 FE here in China and would like to switch my firmware version to the international or european one to get rid of the censorship and not being able to install certain apps like Maps etc.
I've read through the recent rooting thread, unlocked my bootloader and got Odin and Frija downloaded.
What i can't find is the international firmware version of my device.
To make it clear:
Model Number: SM-T735C
CHC: CHC
Frija suggests this file:
SM-T735C_1_20211123165801_q8v4albsaf_fac.zip.enc4
But this will probably just update my firmware to the latest China firmware, right?
I also looked on sammobile but they seem to not know my device...
It should now be possible to do what i'm trying to do, can somebody give me some advice how to proceed?
Thanks in advance, have been waiting since June to get rid of this firmware
Did you ever figure this out? I'm in the same position now and was looking for an answer to this too.
The "C" means you have a special hardware variant for China, it will not work with non-Chinese firmware. Your only option is a custom ROM, and with Samsung's recent moves against those, good luck.
Hardwarewise it's exactly the same, just got the restrictions on the software side. Unfortunately i've not figured it out yet @citizenjack, currently i'm using it only for media where i works just fine. I think sooner or later someone will come up with a solution
you can try this

Can you explain why you think this could work @chsey1 ? I'm afraid i'd brick my device, not even the model is the same.

This won't work as it's the "C" variant and it won't accept this firmware.

Question Downgrade from UI 5.1 to UI 5.0

Good day all,
I'm currently running the latest firmware update for the SM-S908W model One UI 5.1 Feb 2023.
The notification icon pallet is driving me nuts and I know there are work arounds, but I am interested in downgrading from One UI 5.1 to One UI 5.0.
Is simply flashing the stock firmware in Odin capable of accomplishing this task or is there a possibility of bricking or other unforeseen issues?
If it is possible, can someone direct me to a guide?
Please and thank you!
You can usually use Odin to downgrade, provided your bootloader is unlocked. Keep in mind that certain bootloader versions will not permit downgrading.

Thank you!
I used this video as a guide. I can confirm I have successfully downgraded to One UI 5.0!
Make sure you download the latest Samsung USB Drivers (https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver) so your device is recognized by Odin.
Cheers

You can downgrade as long as the binary is the same.
You don't need to unlock the bootloader
