I flashed my phone back to stock a while ago not realising i flashed it with tmobile france software then did an OTA upgrade to gingerbread and it stayed as tmobile france, meaning now my phone always thinks im roaming lol
iv found an old tmobile UK sbf file which is the 2.2.2 older software version and im planning to sbf flash it then do another OTA update which will hopefully put me on gingerbread tmobile UK
im just asking to see if this is a a safe thing to do or could i brick my phone by downgrading sbf files etc...? thanks!
NO.
No, nope, nonononononono.
No.
why not? please explain lol i dont want to ruin my phone
LOL no problem. The "One Guaranteed Way in the Whole Wide World" to brick your phone is to SBF flash to an older version than what you're on currently.
Unfortunately I don't have any experience in getting different carrier's firmware; just didn't want to see your phone get screwed in the process.
ah i see thank you, i guess il just leave it and get over the annoying roaming symbol then! haha what would happen if i flashed over it with a UK version of the same software?
I guess my question would be: are you actually being charged for roaming? If so, I might change your title to ask how to get back on UK Tmobile -- someone else might have some better ideas.
nope i dont think i am just get an annoying popup all the time saying im roaming when im not and okay ill try to do that thanks
Hey guys. I couldn't get AT&T to unlock my s3 so I downgraded to android 4.1.1 to do the free unlocking method. It worked, but my phone has AT&T apps in it, and when updating it says crap like updating from AT&T server or w/e.
When using ODIN, was I supposed to install the AT&T or the T-Mobile version of the 4.1.1 android?
I figured since it's an at&t phone I have to reinstall the at&t so it doesnt mess up the drivers or anything (I totally made up that conclusion myself).
Also, I don't get 4g LTE now and only get E internet. Do I have to do some settings so the phone cooperates with T-Mobile?
As always, thank you very much for the helping hands.

You're probably going to need to setup the apns for Tmobiles network to work for your phone fully.
It automatically made one called tmobile but I dont know if I have to edit it.
Was I supposed to install android 4.1.1 for at&t or tmobile?

As far as i know you should be fine on the at&t rom, You're just going to need to edit those apns probably.

Well, how about this? I install the T-Mobile rom. Shouldn't that have the proper apns?
Now another question comes to mind. Since this is originally an at&t phone, will installing the T-Mobile rom mess it up?
Anyone? Help plz
I purchased a carrier unlocked Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to flash a Jelly Bean or KitKat rom on this device without losing the carrier unlock? I am currently using this on a GSM network (Cricket). I managed to do enough searching to get it rooted using Framaroot. But I'm not exactly sure what my next step is. It seems like many of the roms are Verizon specific...but I could be mistaken. I'm sure some of you have been through this before...and I'm a total newb to this device and carrier. I'm pretty decent with using ADB, Odin, etc. I just don't want to brick this thing just to upgrade the Android Version.
What is the newest/best Verzion phone that is fully rootable/bootstrap? I am still running an old S3 an want to upgrade sometime soon.
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question.
Thanks for any help.
After giving up on rooting my AT&T phone well over a year ago this week I just found out rooting was available. Right now I am leaving AT&T and going over to T-mobile. I would like to get all the AT&T software off my phone since I will be with T-Mobile.
In searching for rooting ( I have not done it since my HTC One) I see rooting for 5.1 and 6.0. Right now my phone is running 7.0. Can you root with 7.0 running?
When flashing a Rom do I have to find ones that are specific to G925A?
Thanks for any help confirming this. I just do not want to brick this phone. First time I do things like this I want to make sure I have all my information correct.

So your just switching carriers to T-Mobile? And your using the same phone G925A?
It still has a locked bootloader so it's still not rootable. From what I can find you can root 6.0.1 on an older firmware with ENG boot firmware. But not for 7.0.

i need G925AUCS7ERC1 7.0 root file
