Hi,
I have recently asked a friend in the US to buy a Samsung Galaxy Tab (verizon) for me.
Its a contract device locked for a year with Verizon. I have a few question...
1. Wat connectivity options can I use in India?
2. Can I unlock it? How?
please help.
Thanks
I am in India for work for the next 2 months, and have a Verizon tab, only I am not locked into a contract... I would love to know this as well... I suspended my number for now and have been running only on wifi since I got here, but having a data connection would be amazing for me while I'm in Bombay...
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
I wanna use it in India not only as a wifi device but use a data plan too...
please help...
need to know wat all i need to do to get started...
root it?
deactivate VZW?
Unlock?
custom rom?
please help....
Verstion SGT is CDMA based, so finding good operator for data plan is difficult in india. Tata indicom and RIL is your bet but dont know about their data plan.
For other help regarding rooting, custom Roms, refer SGT development section.
Any Info on the Solution
One of my friends sent me Verizon Galaxy tab and I cannot use it in India. I can't return it as well because the return period is already over!!!
Is there a way I can make the Galaxy Tab P1000-7"inch tablet work in India on Reliance or TATA???
PLEASE HELP ME
Thanks in advance
A quick fix

note : network unlock remains even after flashing as /efs is not cleared
Be happy , press thanks
Hi everyone,
Before I begin, I just want to say that I've searched for a clear answer (here and on some french forums), et and I really didn't understand anything... Since I bought my Note a few hours ago. I'm new to this.
I just don't get anything, with all the Odin and kernels stuffs...
So, let me explain my problem : I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Note that was previously simlocked (at SFR, I'm in France, and I'm with Orange), the seller said it was sim unlocked at a store (but hey, I don't know if it's true).
Thing is, the Note has a Custom Rom, and I'd really prefer a Stock one (I don't like JKay, I want OTA update etc..).
But :
1) I don't understand anything. CFW is installed, if that can help you... I don't know which Rom I should take, how to install it... I'm Lost.
2) Do I lose the sim unlock by reverting to a stock rom ? If so, how to keep the unlock ?
Since I'm a real newbe, I took a screenshot of the "About the Phone" section to give you more details. It's right here
Thanks to all of you, have a nice day =)

I just bought a GSM unlocked Galaxy S3 (edit: i9300, android 4.0) and went with T-Mobile's online pre-paid plan. It's all stock except for having root access through CF auto-root. Edit: the device is not rooted, just using CF auto-root to give apps root access. Everything is still stock as far as I understand how CF auto-root works. The device is still running 4.0 and no updates are available. Are we being left behind? Or was there an update, and if so, why can't I see it?
Edit: I haven't checked KiesAir, and I'm not at a machine that can allow me to do that with my phone. I'll try that tonight after work, but if somebody could chime in, I'd still appreciate that.
Apologies in advance if this is posted in the wrong forum or if I'm asking a questions that's been asked a hundred times already. I've tried digging in the forums for an answer, but it's far too time-consuming and produces little or no results.

Hi Diashi!
1. Q & A Forum is the right place to ask - no reason to be worried.
2. You bought the LTE version (GT-I9305) ??? - 'cause you only wrote Galaxy S3 - if so, this is the best place to ask.
3. We're not being left behind - but if you got an unlocked and rooted device, you will not receive OTA's (Over The Air Updates)!
You'll have to flash them manually with Odin (Windows), or Heimdall (Linux), or through CWM recovery.
So the first thing you have to do is, check if you have a GT-I9300 (no LTE) or a GT-I9305 (LTE).
And if you still have questions > feel free to ask!

It's an i9300, which has LTE. The phone is not rooted and there are no roms installed. I simply installed SuperSU.apk with CF auto-root to allow root access to apps that require root. I did this so that updating the OS wouldn't be an issue in the future, but i don't know yet if this is absolutely the case.
Thanks for replying KuliX. Anybody else who wishes to weigh in, it's all appreciated.
Edit for clarification.

To your understanding:
Go to Settings > About device > model number
GT-I9300 = no LTE
GT-I9305 = LTE
there is definitely no device with Model number GT-I9300 AND LTE!!!
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOU!!!
CF-auto-root means = your phone is ROOTED - not just for some apps which require root - YOUR WHOLE DEVICE IS ROOTED!
The only different is, you do not have a custom recovery like CWM.

Ahhh, I see. So if KiesAir turns out to be fruitless, should I try to install 4.1 somehow through Odin the same way I installed auto-root? I'm not even sure where I would look for instruction to do that. Oh, wait. What about 4.2? Is there a version of that for i9300? Sorry for being such a grunt, but answering these questions should help other people in my same situation.
Also, the wiki for the i9300 says it has voice over LTE, but I'm guessing not data. That's a real disappointment. I thought the i9300 had everything. It's not a deal breaker though.

There is no Android Version higher than 4.1.2 - that's the latest brand new firmware!
You can get it here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware
And I would suggest you to switch over to GT-I9300 forum - cause you will run into heavy problems if you flash the wrong firmware!!!
And YES - you can flash newer firmware with Odin!
I'll give this a go and might report back later. You've been a great help, KuliX. Thanks!
I am happy to report that my phone was able to update from 4.0 to 4.1 through Kies (not KiesAir) - while I was using CF auto-root - without a single hitch. Everything is in place as it was before the update: rooted apps, settings and all.
Special thanks to Chainfire for making CF auto-root, an my life a lot easier. And thanks KuliX for providing some valuable info.
Hopefully this will help somebody else out there.
A little confused, do you have the 9300 or 9305 as the 9300 does NOT have LTE.
Go to settings>About device
I am a little concerned for you as if you have been sold the 9300 as having LTE it does not! So you may not have something that you have paid for.

The seller on eBay had a long stat and feature page which said the phone had LTE. Technically, it does - for voice. But not for data. This isn't something that I was aware of until KuliX brought it up. I'm not disheartened, though. T-Mobile seems to have plenty of HSPA+ in Los Angeles, and by the time they get real LTE up next year (probably summer or later), some new Samsung whatever will be out and I'll just rotate to that.
The i9300 I bought was for $620 (roughly), and included tax and shipping. It's the best price I could find. Little details like this are something I'll consult with members on XDA in the future, before I buy. This was really just my mistake.
Edit: sentence structure.
As long as you are happy! That is what counts!

that can be changed it can do it on data too voice and data use the same paths thrue the modem and radio you just have to flash it to the firmware
of the SCH-T999 to the radio or edit it to include the data portion the radios and modems are same between phones im allmost 95% sure of that
based on my resarch of the phones and also on the I9305 the same. T-mobile doesnt have 4G or LTE they use the 1700mhz band Odd Tiering
both the SCH-T999 and the Samsung GT-i9300 have the same radios and modem its my theory that if you add the firmware from the T-999 are the same , now dont get confused the Roms are diffrent because quad core vs dual core and the Snapdragon S4 processor is in the T-mobile version but that has nothing to do with the modem or the radio modules, its all programming.. because if you look at the spects for the T-mobile side version T999 version it doesnt even list the LTE for regional now guys let me say some thing why would they use LTE for voice when GSM has more then enough for the band space for voice? that makes no sense...its the FCC regulation and certification of operation, its just programming guys that is all.
Hello,
maybe someone can help me or at least talk to me:
I purchased a new, sealed and locked I8190N in Germany, from TCHIBO Mobil. They are subproviders in the network of O2, j4yi.
To use the phone with another provider, I purchased an net unlock code from Ebay. I received the codes (NCK and SPCK) after some days from the seller, which do not work for me. It says something like "problems while running unlock process". Unfortunately the seller is an imposter, as he does not give me refund even I was able to show the codes he sent me do not work. But this is another story. :silly:
My question would be: Is there a stock rom I can flash to my phone? I checked my phone, at the moment 4.2.1 is installed, with I8190NXXANA1 as baseband. The last hint could be unlocking it at a phone dealer shop in town, because I was told unlocking with cable is more likely to help if code does not work. But who knows... I'm used to flashing mobile phones, running CM on my Motorola Defy all the time. But with Samsung and the special NFC version I got, I do not know wether I can use CM I8190 (without N) for my phone. Or if I should unlock it at a dealer somewhere in my town before starting flashing anything.
Thanks a lot for help and reply! :good:
afaik, you dont need phone unlocked from service provider to flash custom rom, phone just needs to be rooted.then flash rom with custom recovery. stick to roms suitable for n, i have n version & run virginity rom, but try a few & see which you prefer, there is a lot of great talent here.be careful & enjoy.

Thanks. I only wonder if it is maybe not possible to unlock it afterwards any more (after I have flashed CM). I will go to local dealer, to see if they can unlock it.
i dont think it will be a problem, let us know how you get on
You said your Android version is 4.2.1 Do you mind sharing what's your devices' model number, 'cause GT-I8190 runs android 4.1.2 and GT-I8200 runs 4.2.2. I haven't seen anything like your firmware on the S3 Mini (official by Samsung, that is)

Do not know what you mean? But already solved problem with unlocking at a local dealer. Afterwards I installed CM and now everything is ok! :laugh:
I mean that no S3 Mini version is with Android 4.2.1. Do you mean to say 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? Glad you fixed your problem

But that firmware is not 5.x. Would it be okay for us to flash a note 4 firmware (non dual sim version) onto the SM-N9100?

By no means flash another ROM if is not developed especially for your model. Most likely you will get i nice brick.
As for a lolipop ROM, i'm still searching. Until now i have found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...-n9106w-qualcomm-t3007061/page15#post59798895 but it's developed for SM-N9106W, i'm waiting for a confirmation that is working for SM-N9100.
GR8 day !
For whom is interested :
On Samobile.com you can find the now Lolipop Firmware for SM-N9100 Duos.
I have dual sim SM-N9100 Hong Kong Version and I have recently updated it to Lollipop using Kies. I have faced the following bugging issue:
It takes long time (5-10 sec) in the Dialer when choosing the SIM to make the call whereas before it was spontaneous and that's why I had to use a 3rd party dialer from Google Play.
Other than this, I had the phone for few months and it works smoothly. I also faced auto focus issue
I don't have any of those problem and i'm also on Lolipop.
Maybe you should try reflashing Lolipop through Kies.
Or, if you have root and recovery installed , you could do a data wipe.

I have contacted Samsung HK and their answer was useless as expected. They said (its only 10 seconds so its not a big a deal), They never admitted the problem. After resetting to factory setting and fresh Lollipop install, the problem still exist.. Im using a 3rd party app phone instead of Samsung Dailer.
Hi to all im using Hk lollipop for m9re than 3 weeks and i can say that is a very nice rom...maybe a little better than kit kat. ..
I have only found 1 bug and 1 weard problem...
The bug is as you have describe above but this hapens only if you have choose "allways ask" and only if you try to make the call from recent calls or favourite contacts...and NOT directly from contacts list....
The weard problem has to do with message app and sms settings.....
In kit kat there was a menu "iinput mode" to choose between "Automatic , Alphabetic & Unicode"...the Alphabetic gives you the opportunity to have 160 letters instead of 70....
After updated to lollipop this menu still there....
When i do factory reset the menu dissappear....
I had returned back to kit kat but the menu wasn't there too...
I reinstall clear lollipop with original recovery and no root but the same results...
The menu isn't there anymore.....
Very strange issue. ...
Hi All, officially the second sim card is marked as 2G slot. Has anyone tested or know if it's possible to make it work with 3G/4G? is it a ROM thing, or is it hardware?
Australian networks are shutting down their 2G networks and I don't really want to move to a different phone.

Hello,
I have a Note4 SM-N9100 dual sim bought in China. I am wondering if I can install the Hong Kong Firmware for it and make it work. Does anyone have an idea or have done this with success? Thanks
