Nice:
It's amazing to see that you had the drive to make an app just for your fellow SGS4G users.
Thanks Alot FB.

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V).
I went through a factory-wipe, update to 2.3.6, root, custom kernel, CM7 install, and now on CM9. It seems to work fine. Except I'm on AT&T!
I just purchased your app. I will try it out in a few hours. If it works, I'll leave a positive review here and on the Play store.

Thank you, but if you're already using your SGH-T959V successfully on AT&T it means that your phone is already unlocked and don't need to attempt to unlock again.

I was *not* using it on AT&T, that is why I bought your app.
The phone was locked to T-Mobile. When I put in my AT&T SIM, it asked for a SIM PIN or something.
With the T-Mobile SIM inserted, I ran your app, wrote down the number, put my AT&T SIM in, typed in the number, then it said "Network Unlocked" (or something like that).
Does this mean the device is unlocked for ANY GSM network (such as Bell or Rogers), or was it telling me that it was unlocked for just the AT&T SIM?

It should work with any compatible GSM network that uses a full-sized SIM card.

Hi, quick question about your App.
There will be soon the SGS4G Google Edition. It will be available only for AT&T and T-Mobile.
I'm from Belgium and I planned to buy the phone during my holidays in the U.S.
Do you think your app will work in this case and unlock the carrier ?
Regards.

Whoever decided to name the phone the Galaxy S 4G picked a bad name. The phone this app is designed for came out in 2011 (SGH-T959V or SGH-T959W), so it will not work on the new 2013 Galaxy S 4.

Will it work on non rooted?

If I rename your file in update.zip will it unlock also a not rooted device?
I tried some other files but unsuccessfully as not signed.
Can I ask which ROM do you suggest for this t959 4g and if it support front camera?
I used to convert avi files from my cheap camera to latest space conscious mp4 h264 on the gt i9000 with official ROM CM10.1 rc5 but often with big files it just slow down, freeze and restart, which parameters of CPU and RAM should I fine tune to achieve video transcoding done? (actually Roman 10 1.5.6)

This is a native android application available from Google Play, not a flashable zip file.
Are you sure you're using an SGH-T959V or SGH-T959W

idexample said:
Yes it is the 959 but I made the example with my old gt i9000 as it is similar in RAM and spec.
You offered aside your Google Play apk also a zip file in your other thread but I was asking how can I flash it if not rooted ask for zip signature.
About the conversion of videos now I have better results with Mackay ROM, must install yet the latest 2.11.4.

Hello,
And thanks for this amazing app. But suddenly it doesnt works for me. I´ll explain.

Couldnt install on USB storage or SD card.
I´ve tried to install another apps, and they´re installed succesfully.
Could you tell me what can I try?

Really? Sim slot 1 support gsm sim card out of the box?
Because 802d china/taiwan has sim slot 1 locked to cdma only and need root to unlock it so slot 1 can accept gsm sim card.
EDIT : i seem to misunderstood ur answer. Ok so we have to wait for root tutorial for india version then.

I was planning to buy this phone but am reluctant and not sure whether this phone will work outside of India like AT&T in US.
Please advice me on this front as I'm a very frequent business traveler to US and Canada.

[Q] Can you flash factory images on the unlocked Motomaker Moto X?

The title says it all.
Motorola only publishes "Developer Edition" factory images. Can you flash those images onto an Unlocked Motomaker Moto X?
Thanks!
Edit: Answer below

I am wondering the same thing. I have a bootloader unlocked AT&T phone. I would want to flash the factory image for the GSM phone (less the radio, as they are different).

Short answer... YES. The factory images for the Developer Edition phones is the same as the Non-Dev edition of the same model.. Example: Verizon Dev X is XT1060, Verizon Retail and Moto Maker X are XT1060. The ROM/SBF is exactly the same.
When it comes to the GSM Dev Edition, its the same as the T-Mobile X

I would not recommend it because of the different modem files between the ATT XT1058 and T-Mobile/GSM Dev XT1053,
Then again, I haven't really paid much attention to cross flashing between models. I think there were some fastboot flashing just system.img or certain parts, from one model to another back when 4.4 was first coming out... but I don't recall the details.

I'm going to fastboot the TMO 4.4 to my AT&T phone later. just going to skip the modem and see what happens.
edit: The 4.4.2 from the Dev Edition works perfectly on the AT&T phone (with bootloader unlock). No AT&T bloat installed.

Wow! That's a great discovery. I purchased a GSM Motomaker Moto X and flashed the factory images... I had some trouble because the device had already been updated to 4.4.2, and the images were 4.4. I got a security warning when trying to flash gpt.bin and motoboot.bin... otherwise, things went flawlessly.
So there's your answer. Flashing the Unlocked GSM Motomaker Moto X with the Developer Edition Images works just fine.

Another confirmation here. I have an XT1058 and flashed the 4.4.2 XT1053 sbf files. Works absolutely fine.
But now when I connect my phone to the computer, It says my phone is an XT1053

Just be careful at the OTA... you'll likely have to flash back to ATT, or block it, and wait for TMO/DevEdition XT1053 SBF to come out so you can flash just parts again.

At first I did not, then I tried it. Didn't notice a difference.

Here's a question; so I flashed the 4.4 factory image, and then (what I thought was) the 4.4.2 stock update zip. The kernel version is:
3.4.42-g8ee710a

Is this the official kernel?

Um, read POST #3 of this thread.. The use the same ROM/SBF, and locked vs unlocked doesn't matter since its signed by Moto and meant for that model phone.

LG V40 bootloader unlock & root

Did someone do it for you? And i don't think there's anyway to flash any sort of firmware on it at the moment.

I just need to find out which firmware supports Metro by T-Mobile's HD calling and the sorts.

Which network does KDZ work best for Sprint and on Android PIE?

I would like to purchase a new LG V40 Sprint phone and convert to Verizon. Can it be done and be 100% fully functional like a original Verizon V40?
By the way, it will be used on Straight Talk with there Verizon sim chip.

I realized that using the Sprint fw if I make a call I can't use data.
Does the Sprint V40 have to be bootloader unlocked before I can flash anything else?

Flashing generic UK firmware from O2 - complete n00b request

Hi,
I'm in the UK; have an Xperia 1 II from O2. Bought outright and using my EE sim in the phone. I am investigating the possibility of flashing generic UK firmware (i.e. to match the firmware on the phones sold direct from Sony) so that EE wifi calling hopefully starts to work. Phone is unlocked.
I've never flashed a phone before and am trying to figure out how it works.
My understanding is:
1. can obtain firmware via Xperifirm
2. can flash that firmware using Flashtool
3. don't need to unlock bootloader to flash new firmware.
My questions are:
4. is it as simple as the above? Download my selected firmware and then flash using Flashtool?
5. is Flashtool a third party software? I see the Sony dev site also offers a flash tool called Emma. I have also seen references to a separate Newflasher and the need for an fsc script
6. how do I confirm which firmware is which? I presume I would be looking to use the 'Customized UK' firmware listed in Xperifirm, CDA 1321-7192 / 58.0.A.3.31 / R8A.
Thanks, appreciate any info.
Cheers,
Michael

I posted how I did it here and in this simpler guide here.
Your understandings are correct. FlashTool includes XperiFirm.
4. Yes, though you will have to do a couple of additional steps because the FlashTool devices database has not been updated with the .fsc for the phone yet.
5. Yes, FlashTool is 3rd party software and allows you to change Customization. Emma is only for unlocked bootloaders from what I remember. You will need to also download the .fsc and .properties files I provided and rename the .fsc file.
6. Yes, 'Customized UK' from XperiFirm is what you want.
On Windows you will need to install the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers in the Flashtool\drivers directory to communicate with your phone. Follow the instructions here as you need to start Windows with driver signature enforcement disabled to do this.
Once you have that all set up, downloaded the firmware and FlashTool has processed the downloaded firmware, you will be ready to flash. Click Flash and choose Flash Mode, then set it up as in my first link - this will wipe all data on the phone.
When flashing, an error of "those files are not in the fsc script: persist, reset-non-secure-adb" is entirely normal. When flashing has finished successfully it will say "synced".

Thanks heaps - I'll have a go.

O2 advised me the phone is unbranded and unlocked as if bought direct from Sony is this incorrect ??

I have bought mine on o2 also and will be using on three uk .. apart from wifi ifoes everything else function OK without o2 sim ?
To be honest I'm torn between cancelling o2 as they told me the phone was unlocked and unbranded and getting a s20 plus
Thanks in advance Mike

Hi,
It has an O2 app preinstalled. No branding or startup stuff. Everything is fine except no WiFi calling visible for EE, which I expected. I did talk to O2 a bit beforehand and they said the firmware would be specific but nothing else. It is unlocked, my EE SIM is working fine aside from WiFi calling as above.

I doubt you will get VoLTE/4G calling working on EE or 3 with the O2 firmware either. (At least it didn't work for me with a Vodafone SIM). To me VoLTE is much more important than WiFi calling as without VoLTE you cannot make a phone call on 4G and instead have to also have a connection to a 3G or 2G network to make a call.
Flashing the Customized UK firmware should fix this.

Yes exactly. WiFi calling not working on EE out of the box. Just need to take the time and get brave enough to do it!

Did you flash your Xperia 1ii? I have the same, O2 phone with EE sim , no wifi calling but everything else OK. I though it was working before the last Sony update but maybe it wasn't. I notice the mobile signal shows LTE but when I put an O2 sim in it says 4G. I didn't realise it was a firmware issue so looking at doing this. I need wifi calling at the back of my house as the mobile signal is very weak.

Hi, yes I did using this wonderful thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-1-II/how-to/successfully-flashed-customization-t4119707
Read it first as there can be some scary moments depending on which usb-c cable you use to connect the phone to the pc (don't use the Sony one) but it all works if you follow the instructions and I now have WiFi calling over EE.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot over the weekend.
As an aside, if you got it from O2, did you get your 'free' headphones?

Hi
I'm in same situation. Can you please confirm that you can change the mobile bands.
Ie. You can select it to change the preferred network type?

Does this give you volte as well, or will it just give WiFi calling?

I managed to flash to stock UK and now have Wi-Fi calling on EE - but - I have lost the ability to edit the APN. When I hotspot some apps get confused with IPv6 so I delete that from the EE APN but cant do it now I have flashed. Also lost LTE option. Just generic 5G/4G/3G/2G. Can you edit your APN and do you have LTE?
As for the headphones, good for you - still waiting for mine

After flashing from O2 firmware to stock UK firmware I only have the one option of 5G/4G/3G/2G

Noob question but does flashing the firmware impact using NFC payments and Google pay?
Also does anyone know if/have experience of, the Hong Kong version (dual SIM), being able to use VOLTE/WiFi calling here in the UK? I need a dual SIM phone ideally but I read somewhere that flashing the dual SIM with a UK firmware will disable the second sim slot (which makes sense to me).
Thank you!

LTE is 4G isn't it. Does O2 just put LTE in their firmware rather than 4G?
