I recently bought atrix and i can only asume that it's from t-mobile uk(the boot logo) and my phone thinks that android 2.2.2 is the latest update -,-. How can I debrand my phone? I had galaxy S while ago and it was very easy, u just had to flash international rom with Odin but here i'm completely newbie and can't rly figure out what's what.
Also it seems that battery is kinda ****y(15min of some galaxy on fire 2 took 10% of battery), can i assume it's a rom thing? The phone was used before and I'm kinda spooked that I bought faulty phone.
Im also looking to do this with a friend's phone.
Is there anyway of force flashing the UK retail version of 2.3.5 onto a UK T-Mobile Atrix?

Hello everyone!! First of all, sorry if this has been posted already and please excuse me as I am completely new to the smartphone and android scene!
I do not own a SGSII yet but I am seeking to buy the white version of the phone, which is currently available at Bell. I'm planning to just buy out the phone itself without a contract because I will be going away to the UK in January for about 9 months. I am aware of the fact that Bell has its own firmware, giving it the name i9100m instead of i9100. So, I was wondering if I root and unlock the phone, will I be able to update the firmware and perform all the functions that a generic i9100 would and therefore be able to use the phone in the UK when I move there?
It might be a stupid question but I just thought I'd better be safe than sorry
Thanks in advance!
Yes, it won't be a problem

Yes it will work, whether you want to unlock it for rogers here in Canada or on a carrier in the UK, the process is the same. You can pretty much flash any rom you want, as rooting the bell phone pretty much breaks kies will to update. At least it did for me
Thanks guys! I thought that I had to go through a different process for unlocking and modifications, thanks again for clearing that up I will be on my way to purchase a SGSII very soon
Hi there! I really hope someone could help me
with my problem. Well first of, I'm an entire noob with
Androids as I have been a Nokia loyalist
(sucks to be me). I have a factory unlocked S3 GT-i9300
bought from China and was sent to me
here in the Philippines. I have tried
upgrading it to JB 4.1.1 via OTA and Kies
but I've had encountered roadblocks for
the longest time. That's when a friend of mine suggested to use Odin but the
mofo didn't tell me that there were
other stuff that I need to consider (all
the Phone, PDA and CSC stuff posted in
the first post of this thread). So I
downloaded from www.samfirmware.com an official JB 4.1.1 ROM for Globe Telecoms
Philippines since that's the network that
I'm using and flashed it on my S3 via
Odin. Everything went well except for
the part where I'm being asked for a
network unlock code! WAAAAH! My phone is now locked and I don't
even where it's locked to. Is there a way for me to unlock it again
without having to pay those unlock
code generators? PLEASE HELP!!! TIA!

Hi guys, Merry Christmas!!
My old S2 is on ORANGE network at the moment, and i would like to give it to my mother as she hasnt got a smartphone.
She is on o2, i was looking on sammobile and it has different firmwares, branded and non-branded.
My question is, can i flash the s2 with the stock non-branded ROM or will this cause problems because my s2 is orange branded at the moment?
I don't want to brick the phone
Use galaxy s2 sim unlock from google play and then flash o2 firmware
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

In theory it should never happen nothing. It is sufficient that you flash a ROM of the same nation, for safety
Hello,
I have come here asking for massive help i am in the U.K and got my s6 edge on contract through mobilephonesdirect on the EE network, for the last 3 months i had battery and 4G problems and sent it to EE they replaced something and reset the phone but its come back with vodafone software in italian on it even tho when it went to them it wasn't on there and they will not change it to EE they have told me i need to go back to mobilephonesdirect and get them to sort it as they have supplied me with a vodafone branded phone in italian when it should be EE, now i'm thinking to save all the bother of explaining it all to them i could root the phone and install EE branded software onto it? but this is where i need help I have never rooted and phone i do not want to brick the phone, so is anyone willing to point me the right way im guessing i need the EE software for the phone and a guide to install it. please help I have had nothing but problems trying to sort this.
Thanks Sam
