Sorry for stupid questions, we need help.
We decides to update ROM for Acer Liquid from 1.6 to 2.1. We are living in France, mobile phone has simlock to SFR provider.
We downloaded the official ROM from official site (Acer.fr) and started the updating process following instructions. Midway through the process the system came up with an error. We attempted again the update and the error still came up. On the second attempt the sim card stopped functioning.
Could someone please suggest how could I update ROM to a 2.1 version while maintaining operator simlock. Or how could I re-lock avoiding Hard Reset?
UPD: IMEI number has gone.
How can i restore it?

Hello.
I just bought a new Galaxy S phone online. The phone was unlocked (originally T-mobile). The phone has firmware 2.1 update 1. When I run the Samsung Kies utility, it tells me that there is an update for the phone (probably firmware 2.2). If I update the phone will it continue to work or it will become locked again?
Sorry if the question sounds stupid but I am a newbie to this and I don't want to mess something up. Is there a way to backup the existing firmware so that if anything goes wrong I can restore it?
Thanks
If you’ve used the unofficial ChevronWP7 updater tool and then received a 80180048 error message in Zune, you have a very easy solution for that, at least if you are a HTC HD7 owner.
I recieved this error when I tried to install security update 7392. So I downloaded the latest official image for my phone from this site and flashed it to my O2 DE HD7. After that there was no 80180048 error during the update process and phone has now 7392 build.
You can find at least 16 branded ROMs for HD7 right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=783
Yes, but after this your device is no more unlocked. So it´s the question, what you prefer, an unlocked device or the new update.
Howdy,
Need to find the Australian ruu for my sensation xl purchased thru Vodafone Australia.
I'm unlock the phone and install another rom but now want to revert back to the standard
HTC rom.
I have tried the following with no success.
-Relocked the phone.
-Tried to install EU and HK RUU , both get to about 16% and fail.
-On other try's, receive the following "Error 131 or Error 150"
I have called HTC and they said they do not allow customers to download
the rom as it gets pushed out and updated via the phone.
Please can anyone help..
Error code 130 means the region is not right, unless you can get RUU Australia, otherwise, I don't think you can revert them back.
The reason why you can't get over 16% is the signature verification has failed.
Got an unrooted o2 galalxy s. Got a official unlock code from O2, but appears to be already unlocked as putting any sim (Tmobile. Orange, BTMobile) I am able to make and receive calls and it does not come up with the unlock screen to enter the code as per instructions.
Wanted to unlock as O2 has not upgraded to Android 2.3.6, which I have already upgraded to on another phone. However on Kies show I have latest firmware and does not give option to go to 2.3.6.
do not wan to root etc, but wondered How I get Kies to recognize its not tied to O2 and allow the 2.3.6 upgrade
Note the firmware Kies says is the latest ends with (O2U) which seem to be a O2 particular firmware. How do I get round this as seem not to be truly unlocked/unlinked form O2
I think it will always be viewed as an O2 phone by Kies as that's what it is. Unlocking it does not change the fact that it was an O2 phone and probably has O2 branding.

How can I rebrand it from O2U to XEU without rooting to putting in a custom ROM etc
would Kies reghack and spoofing to think it XEU work or is there a danger of "bricking it".
Not my phone ( mines as 2nd hand one which is has been put XEU by the seller , i Believe, so was able to upgrade to 2.3.6))so do not want to take nay chances. ( other than a very low risk option)
The easiest way is flashing a different firmware using Odin.
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25722239 to download the necessary stuff and just follow the instructions.
You should backup your data as it might get deleted.
If you just want a 2.3.6 firmware without rooting you can stop after finishing step 3.
don't you need to be rooted for Odin?
No you don't need root to use Odin.
Used Odin and updated OK. Kies does however now says the phone is not compatible with standard upgrades via Kies, think this is because the CSC is still O2U. So any future upgrades ( not expecting any from Samsung) will have to be done outside of Kies..
Thanks for the help.
Hello guys;
First of all, Let me post my phone software info:
Android Version: 4.4.2
Build Number: KOT49H.G870AUCU1ANG3
Phone Location: out USA
I tried all methods available to update my phone at least lollipop not even Marshmallow! and every time i get the message "The is the latest software update available to your phone"!
I tried the software update inside settings, Kies 3 (also emergency recovery method), Smart Switch, AT&T SIM Card inserted with USA VPN...etc)...non of them worked for me!
Does any one manage to have a legit Lollipop or Marshmallow Odin Stock Flash?!
I saw some methods over recovery with OTA update packages but it is too risky since there is no Stock ROM for the device in Sammobile also i am afraid to brick the device or losing IMEI and no service Box is supporting it!
looking for your help!?

Thats becuz there isnt for att yet. Therr are over the airs for 5.0 but nothing else. And the update to 5.1 but its stock and unrooted you have to be rooted im sure for that and using flashfire for it so it just changes rom and not bootloader . Allowing you to still downgrade back.
