Firmware region ROM checks - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

Hi all,
Dont know if this is the right section, apologies in advance if its wrong.
I'm trying to keep my phone stock as much as possible. I have a G8142 but currently flashed as a G8141 due to wanted the Australian firmware for VoLTE.
I wanna retain the 2nd sim and keep it as a G8142, but have tried different regions in order to see if i could get VoLTE.
When using the Australian G8141 rom, the modem is: amss_fsg_maple_vha_au_ims_tar.mbn
Any advice on how I can find that particular modem file in a G8142?
or is it possible to flash a G8142 firmware and use that modem file from the G8141?
I have tried to flash a G8142 firmware with the OEM.SIN file from the G8141. Upon load up, i get an error screen saying "there is an issue with your device, contact support".
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

What carrier do you have?

Modify Oem.sin

is any workaround to modify oem.sin? i just want to add my operator VoLTE settings. Thanks
Did you ever figure this one out?
Its impossible to edit a .sin file and flash it using flashtool.
You have to do it via a custom ROM, hence a rooted device is needed

Is it possible though to take an OEM.sin from another firmware variant and flash that so I can get my VoLTE 'settings'

hmm,, I do not know, you can try it. Just swap the necessary .sin files using flashtool and try to flash it. there are 3 outcomes.
1. it will work (Great)
2. It will not flash (No problem)
3. It soft brick s your phone, so just flash a .ftf to restore your phone.
It works to flash oem.sin from other regions firmware with no problems , my problem is that my operator just released VoLTE and VoWIFI and Sony didnt add the settings in their firmware and the only way to do it is if i root the phone or if i could edit OEM.SIN before flashing (but seems thats not possible). My operator doesnt sell any Sony phones so probably will take a long time till my operator will contact them to add the settings in the firmware or maybe not at all or maybe only for latest devices or for the future models (i cant know that). Sony does have the VoLTE settings in like all EU firmwares and VoLTE + VoWIFI in specific operator firmware but only for Orange in my country and im using some other operator.
Edit:// just get the firmware that has your operator settings then flash only the oem.sin from it with flashtool , i did that with mine and i had no problems.

I have a problem in that my phone was never released by my operator! Do you think it'd be possible to get an OEM.sin from another phone altogether? They have released both the XZ Premium and Z5 Premium (I have the X performance). Alternatively I think if I edit the modem.conf I might have a way to get VoLTE too

this is experimental try replacing firmware folder with elabel-Gxxxx-india-row_xxxxxxxxx_41.3.A.2.XX_S1-ELABEL-LIVE-DE8D-PID1-0004-MMC.sin and also you need to manually extract update.xml from indian firmware.... if it is set to unpack automatically in xperia firm it will be replaced by update.xml from the big file that size 2.6GB , you need update.xml from the indian firmware placed inside 46MB file
FYI without unpacking there will be like 3 files
one size 2.6 , other two size 46mb and 1.2mb
we need update xml from 46mb file and sin from 1.2 mb also dont forget to remove elabel-Gxxxx-yourcountry-row_xxxxxxxxx_41.3.A.2.XX_S1-ELABEL-LIVE-DE8D-PID1-0004-MMC.sin

Unfortunately only phones on my provider which has VoLTE support for Xperia xz performance and I can't yet extract the sin from that firmware
I have edited the relevant files on my device. Is there any way to force the phone to pick up the new oem settings? Will it require a format (reset to get it to work)?
UPDATE : reflashed phone via Flashtool. Excluded oem partition from flash and now have working VoLTE

which files have you edited ?? can you explain step by step please?
Can you please explain how this was done in more detail?
Is it required to unlock bootloader or root the device? I want to keep all my DRM keys but just enable VoLTE (and VoWIFI if possible).
Guide is here. It should apply to any device that has an oem partition provided you have the relevant files. That being said I haven't tried it on any other devices https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp.../guide-enable-volte-operator-handset-t3816565

OS for SM J327P

I accidentally wiped the OS of my Samsung Gallaxy J3 Emerge (Boost Mobile). It happened while at TWRP recovery. The phone was bought online from USA. I had rooted the phone and had TWRP recovery. Now every time I start, it shows TWRP recovery but no OS available.
I had tried to install two firmware via twrp but failed. Did I use the wrong firmware or the problem is something else?
Please help and advise me on the possible solution and if so the right firmware for this device. Thank you.

You can't flash the firmware via TWRP.
This is the reason why we always make a big deal out of creating a nandroid backup of your stock operating system in TWRP BEFORE making any kind of modifications to the device. If you had created a nandroid backup, you could restore that backup to fix your device.
Since you didn't create a backup, you'll have to flash the stock firmware for your specific model number via Odin to get the stock system working again then start over with installing TWRP and root again.

Thank you sir for your reply.
I thought I created a nandroid backup (but still looking for it), so if you could provide important instructions how to restore that backup in case I finally find it? Yes I installed those two firmware (mentioned above) via TWRP and also via ODIN but failed.
I had problems in figuring out the right firmware for this particular device and also where to get it from, so if you can help me with this I will be very thankful and grateful.
Thank you again.

It isn't complicated, go to Sammobile .com or samsung-updates .com and enter your specific device model number in their search feature. That should give you a list of all available firmware for your model number, then you just choose the newest version that has the correct 3 letter code for your region, country or carrier.
If you don't know the correct 3 letter code for your region/carrier, try doing a Google search for:
"Region code for (enter your country and your mobile carrier)"
That should show you the 3 letter code that you need, then look on the list of firmware for your device and choose the newest version that has the correct 3 letter code for your region/carrier.

Thank you for your reply and time, I really appreciated it.
I had tried what you said, and here's the results:-
1. Sammobile.com has no search result for Galaxy J3 Emerge or SM-J327P.
2. Samsung-updates.com has 14 firmware available for my device i.e Galaxy J3 Emerge (please see screenshot I attached).
I was confused and couldn't find the 3 letter code for my region, country (i.e Kiribati) and carrier (i.e ATHKL) when I googled it. I suppose the 3 letter code you mean are something like SPR, BST, VMU, etc.
May be I can try the ones (firmware) with BST USA since my phone was purchased online from USA. The phone was also unlocked and always booted up with Boost Mobile Logo even though I had been using the sim from ATHKL - the network carrier in Kiribati. That was the information of my phone before the problem.
I always appreciate your help, advice and recommendations. Thank you.

Flashing the Boost firmware should work, after flashing the firmware, if the radio(modem) isn't working or allowing cellular or mobile data connection, you might need to flash a different modem that has been extracted from another firmware for your model number to make the device compatible with the networks where you live. If it needs a different modem, you'll have to do some research to see which modems for your model number are compatible with your network.

No, SPR stands for Sprint, BST stands for Boost, VMU stands for Virgin Mobile, these 3 letter codes are not the region codes I was talking about. These are 3 of the major US carriers. The 3 letter region codes I meant are listed in this link below. Kiribati is not listed, your country is probably considered to be in the Indonesia or Malaysia region or some other south Asia region.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/samsung-android-csc-phone-tablet-t2949229
Here is a firmware that should work for you, it is a generic firmware for USA devices designed to work on all USA networks. I'm giving you the generic firmware because flashing a firmware for a specific carrier may brick your device if that specific firmware is not compatible, such as flashing a SPR firmware(CDMA network) when the device was meant for BST or VMU(GSM network).

S7 SM-G930V Need advice for a flash! I'm lost !

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930V and I cannot receive and send MMS.
I am in France
I made several adjustments in the apn, but in vain.
So I want to flash the phone to see if it solves MMS problems.
Problem, I can't find the right files for the file.
I installed this one
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s7/firmware/SM-G930V/VZW/download/G930VVRSBCTC1/329889/
And that installed a VERIZON overlay and that wasn’t what I wanted at all and it didn’t solve my problems.
Can you tell me the right files without operator overlay?
thank you in advance
Hello
can you tell me that original firmware version to this phone?
thank you
Nobody knows ?
Your best bet would be flashing the G930U firmware, it's the generic non-carrier specific firmware intended for carrier unlocked phones. It would have the best chance working in Europe.

Make sure you flash all 4 files (AP, BL, CP, CSC), make sure you use CSC and not Home_CSC, this will wipe data but it will be necessary to fix your issues

It looks like you have an g930A (which is AT&T) as your PDA version, where it should be g930V or g930U. Make sure you download and flash all 4 files (BL, AP, CSC, CP). You can get the unbranded firmware from the same place you got the other at samobile. That is the G930U firmware.

You cannot flash because the bootloader version is B11. Most threads don't mention the bootloader issue, either because the thread is old, or not enough people updated their firmware to experience the issue.

First, check your system settings to see if it still shows your IMEI number, if it is gone or is all 0's, you will need to restore your EFS partition or restore your IMEI number.
If you still see your IMEI number, you might need to find a firmware that has a modem.img that works in your region/country, then extract the modem.img from that firmware and flash it on your device.

Thank you for reply.. My IMEI still shown however my signal service still zero eventhough I put different sim card or try to turn on radio its still not change. Do you know where can I find that type of firmware that have modem.img because i dont think Xperifirm have it.

It might not be a modem.img, it might be a modem.bin or some other type of file extension, the point is, you need a radio/modem file that is compatible with your region/carrier network.
You will have to search for all of the available firmware versions for your specific model number from all of the different regions/countries/carriers, then find out which of them use the same kind of network/radio bands that your region/carrier uses. When you find a firmware that uses the same network/radio bands that your carrier uses, download that firmware then extract the radio/modem file from that firmware then flash that radio/modem file on your device.
If you bought the device used, you might be having this issue because the device's IMEI was blacklisted before you purchased the device. If this is the case, you won't be able to fix the issue until you contact the original service provider to see why it was blacklisted and what they require in order to remove it from blacklist.

Need help flashing rom on my Samsung device.

Hi everyone,
I bought a phone from a friend, turned out the phone was a Russian version but the was thing is that, it doesn't connect to my local network, sim works fine but whenever I try making a call, it says "not registered on network ". I Googled this issue and finally found a way which I hope will work. And that's flashing it with firmware made specifically for my region, but the model number differs. The phone model number is SM-A750FN while the firmware I found online for my country is SM-A750F. Can I flash it without facing any problem? Or if you any better way to solve the network issue I'd be glad to know.
Thanks in advance.

I Googled this issue and finally found a way which I hope will work. And that's flashing it with firmware made specifically for my region, but the model number differs. The phone model number is SM-A750FN while the firmware I found online for my country is SM-A750F. Can I flash it without facing any problem? Or if you any better way to solve the network issue I'd be glad to know.
Thanks in advance.

You don't necessarily need to flash the whole firmware, you could probably just extract the modem.img from the A750F firmware and then convert the modem.img to an Odin flashable .tar file and then flash the file using Odin. All you should need to change is the software that controls your radio.

Yes, IMEI changing will definitely cause an issue, the network will not recognize your device if the IMEI is different than the one that should be there. There is more than one tool or method to fix your IMEI issue, I'm not familiar with those tools or how to use them as I've never had a need to use them.
Try doing a Google search for:
"How to repair IMEI on (your specific model number)".
Thanks
