I recently purchased S23 Ultra SM-S9180, but i want to covert it to the global model SM-S918B, will it brick my device?
If you find an answer, please post it. I have also a S9180 but Hong Kong version, and would have been great to use a global rom.
What I really wanted to try is if there was a way to have esim, because our version doesn't have it.

Thanks. So I can't flash to global ROM, but in case I want to try, can I flash from Hong Kong to Taiwan? (They are both S9180). Seems some metro cards functions are desactivated on the HK version, but the Taiwan version has it.

No idea about those two, you can try it. You won't brick the phone, if there is an issue, it will fail to even start flashing due to a mismatch. But, as I love to say, do everything on your own responsibility.

Yes the BRI, TGY and CHC firmwares are interchangeable on an SM-S9180. According to MobilityPass the S23 Ultra CHC Variant has eSim capability but even if it works on your device the CHC Firmware is vastly inferior. As far as Metro Card goes I doubt it's compatible.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
I read the mobility pass information that you sent, but I'm a little bit confused. I'm sure 100% Chinese firmware doesn't have esim.
There is no esim in China, and I went to a Samsung store in China, check, and even talk to a sells man.
Unfortunately I think that that MobilityPass just assumed that all the S23ULTRA variant have esim.
Anyway, thanks for your help!

If you install CHC Firmware then you can check, just because a salesman said it that doesn't mean it's accurate. MobilityPass doesn't assume that all S23 Ultra's are eSim capable, they specifically note only the CHC Variant has eSim capability with the SM-S9180. CHC Firmware overall is horrible considering all the apps you won't have pre-installed. My question is since you already have dual sims why bother with the eSim? You can only be in so many places at the same time.
I mean I went to the store, check the phone by myself, saw there was no esim, then talked to the sales (actually he thought that using Hong Kong firmware will activate the esim, but he was surprised that it was not the case when I showed him my phone).
I have 3 sim cards, which make me use 2 phones... And I travel abroad pretty often.

You can change CSC between TGY and BRI, using Samfw tool. Flashing Odin ROM won't change anything.
It's because both TGY and BRI are in the same OZS multiCSC and share the same ROM.

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to debrand a Telus RM-819 Cyan. I have searched but not really found anything about this particular model. My father has a unbranded USA RM-819 cyan which was won at a Microsoft conference, so If it is possible to "extract" the firmware and put it on mine, I suppose I could do that.
Thanks,
Jared

Hi,
No you can't "extract" the firmware and put it on your phone. (not for now anyway)
But the good news is you can debrand your phone to any variant you want (or like to your father one).
What you need is:
1. Navifirm+ - an app to download the debrand fw
2. Nokia Care Suite - an app to flash/load the fw into phone
3. Install & run "Nokia Care Suite" & follow the prompt and flash your phone
I have flash many many Lumia 800 with using this.
BUT PLEASE BACKUP !! BEFORE DO ANYTHING AS I CANNOT HOLD FOR ANY DAMAGED.
Let me know if you have trouble.
and Wish You Luck !!
Thank you for getting back to me
Can you tell me if this is the firmware I would want,
RM-819_NAM-US_CV_VAR191249_CYAN_V1 (059M190)
It is is listed on .11501. That appears to be the unbranded USA version?

Yep, looks like it.
Can you see ..12070 or newer?
It better to flash the newer one.
That appears to be the newest one available. I can always use the cab sender after to update to 12072?
*And also, here is what I have so far, Do I need to do anything or can I click start?

That's completely normal... You have to enter your SIM-card PIN code You need to do this every time you start a phone which uses SIM cards.
I see, well I bought the phone second hand so I was not given the code. I purchased an unlock code for $20 and it fixed the problem. Thanks for your help.

Couldn't you just swap the SIM card? I don't know if it doesn't work that way, but over here your phone number actually is linked to your SIM card. This means I would swap the SIM card anyway when I get the phone, and I'd get the code.
Telus apparently SIM locked this phone so only their SIM cards would work with it. I am in the US using it in Straight Talk (prepaid mvno), so I can't really swap out the SIM card as far as I Know.
one question ,is it possible that an unlocked lumia 800 was relocked after the debranding ?
because that just happenned to me. after installing an Australian firmware on the Telus Lumia, upon restart it said Sim Locked. good thing i still had the email when i purchased the unlock code and the same code worked again, but i dont get why changing firmware would relock the phone.

I guess that the phone, when bought officially unlocked is factory unlocked. Unlocking with a code obviously write something on the phone. That might be erased when doing a (full) flash of the phone. It does not seems to happens when using the zune or WP7-Update-Cab-Sender way (upgrading).

In theory the answer is No as this model should not be relock by after FW reflash/debrand.
Which Aus FW did you use & SW you flashed with?
You sure it said "Sim Locked" not something else?

I don't think it's possible. It's impossible to SIM UNlock it with flashing another ROM, because SIM lock is written on a special place in memory that shouldn't get flashed. So the other way round seems very strange to me...

I purchased the unlock code from http://www.mobileincanada.com/. It took about 2 hours to get. I should note that the previous owner of my phone (Telus RM-819) had it unlocked previously but that apparently gets cleared out when you reflash a firmware.
Hello guys,
I am using LG G5 H860 imported from dubai. Current firmware is for taiwan.
It does not support VOLTE for Indian bands.
I have flashed the firmware (supposed to be Indian )H86010j_00_OPEN_ESA_DS_OP_0804.kdz
provided here - http://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h860-firmwares/
Sadly the above firmware does not support the volte for indian bands.
From my understanding v10j-IND-XX supports VOLTE (reliance jio).
Would appreciate if anyone can provide the firmware.

LG G5 Indian Firmware
Hi Guys, I'm also using same Taiwan firmware and waiting for Indian firmware to use VoLTE Service
I am too in line waiting for Indian firmware. Thanks
Its of no use. I had a (sea) version . I visited to Lg service center . And the engineer was very helpful.
V10J is just a FOTA KDZ size of 590 mb. You can not simple install it . It will brick ur pcb . Inorder to proceed you first need to install ver LG H860V10C-00-Ind .
Once its is done if you modem version allow the baseband it will let to get direct to V10J . or you need wait till LG BRIDGE detects the same.
I got mine done .
Good luck with yours.

Out of curiosity, what were the errors? Was it from newflasher at the beginning when checking that the device matched? Or was it actually during flashing one of the .sin files?
The former is possible to work around - I've seen the same thing when trying to flash E5823 <-> E5803 firmwares. The latter I'm not certain about...

I bought my Xperia Z5 Compact last year. It's one of those for which NFC cannot be turned on. It had come with an outdated E5823 firmware. After testing some custom ROMs, I ended up updating it to a stock E5823 Nougat ROM (obviously rooted through the stable Magisk v20.4). Nevertheless, after checking my Xperia account, I've found out that its IMEI number actually belongs to a SO-02H model. So, go figure!

If your bootloader is unlocked, download the stable Magisk v20.4 zip file and install it through a custom recovery (usually TWRP), either directly or via adb sideload.

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and check under configuration if bootloader unlock allowed=yes. You can switch the firmware from Docomo to a 5823 (or 5803) variant. You need to edit an .xml file to do so prior to bundling the .ftf while xperifirm is still open after downloading it.

If it say : NO like this picture, is it posible to switch to 5823? And what is the uniqeu character IMEI that belong to SO-02H and other type of z5 compact?

Yes, you can still change your firmware with an official generic rom from other regions (ie 5823 or 5803). You may loose functionality of NFC, but that's about it; your IMEI will not be touched (nor will your radio bands) , it will also not change your bootloader lock status.
I've been reading up on firmware options on here but can't figure out a straight answer. I have the hong kong version of the s9 plus 256gb with the snapdragon chip. My question is can you use odin to flash USA firmware to it? Without getting a hard brick.
Like the fully unlocked firmware for us models that isn't tied to carriers. Thanks.

i have the same question...any answer?
I do not know, but it would be great if you would upload your firmware to https://androidfilehost.com
Also, would you please tell me if you are able to use the native call recording functionality that Samsung pushed out in May with your phone
Sorry for no punctuation my keyboard is screwed up for some reason
Thanks Very Much

Based on what I've reviewed this look to be the best option to do so once you confirm the firmware is compatible.

Yes.. I had/ have a sm-g965u and I flashed it to a sm-g965u1. It's not hard to do, but it's also not super easy. Honestly I'd wait another month or so until the offical android 10 is released. But if you really wanna switch to the sm-g965u1 it's possible and the guide is here in this forum. Just be careful if you attempt because you could brick your phone.
Sorry for being the broken record here but I have a Verizon s9 plus that's updated, and I want to flash it to the u1. Is it possible to do this because my firmware is the latest vzw?

So how does one obtain either legitimate access to or a copy of illegitimate nature of this android 10.0 smg965u1 beta?

if i want update TO ANDROID 10 manually via odin patch, will it be network locked later?
i live in indonesia.
thanks before and sory for my bad english.
No worry about that be sure to update manually from:
sm-g965u to sm- g965u1
Download sm-g965u1 (this firmware is unlocked version)
Sm-g965u (this firmware working just with your network,, means ? locked. )
So download sm-g965u1 and you can just update it to android 10 manually via ODIN ..... read carefully my post.
So your question answer is NO , be sure install sm-g965u1 and no problem all your life, ( sm-965u1 (multiple sim , with this firmware put any sim .)
" if i want update TO ANDROID 10 manually via odin patch, will it be network locked later?" Never , install sm-g965u1 ok ?
Any questions???

Try XAA or SPR
You can try first XAA ok for CSC should be fine .. please take out your sim card before flashing....after flashing try different sim (different carrier)after that you can put your sim back

oh man, thanks for your help n respons.
my phone at android 10 now, and network not lock.
thanks you very much:victory::victory:
Enjoy my friend
So what is the difference between 965U and 965u1 U is network unlock.. U1 is factory unlocked.. If flashing U1 will not unlock the bootloader, what good is it really.
The difference ? ...al most the same .. if you want to root you phone you should buy european version . Those version s965u -u1 , its american snapdragon. There is no way to root 100% , some one tried , they root this phone about 90% seem like everything is working but the battery is charging only i dont remember about 80% and some of the option is not working , like you can't buy through samsung pay or something like this ....
But if really want root you phone I recommend you European version s9 plus or s10plus or any phone with processor Exynox . They are 100% rootable, with oem unlock (bootloader unlock)
