I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 Verizon last year when I was traveling through US. I was able to root and unlock it to work with a carrier of my country (Brazil), I was even capable to set my language on the phone through the app "Language Enabler". I upgraded to android 4.3 and it worked just fine, but since when I upgraded the android to 4.4.2 my phone came back to the original language (english) and I couldn't set to my language anymore (Seems like Samsung is not providing additional languages outside US on this new android version) . Reading some treads here, I discovered that downgrading the android to a previous version (that included portuguese as a language option) would be impossible thanks to the bootloader. My question is, there is a method of unlocking the bootloader safely, so can I downgrade my phone from 4.4.2 to 4.3? Can anyone help me through it?

Hi,
I purchased an HTC Mozart in a store in Israel and I got a T-Mobile branded phone with only English and German keyboard.
I know there is no official Hebrew keyboard but I don't want the T-Mobile ROM, I would like to have an unbranded ROM so I will get updates from Microsoft and won't be tied to T-Mobile updates.
I'm a noobe in this whole area of ROM and flashing, and I need help understanding the basics.
I saw the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898900 which listed a lot of unbranded ROMs for Mozart phone.
Some questions:
1. How do I find out what is my phone's CID?
2. What will an unbranded ROM allow me to do? Will I get updated directly from Microsoft without T-Mobile?
3. I suppose I can wait until the Hebrew language is official supported and only then get a ROM with the Hebrew language. Is it a right assumption or will our ROMs get the aditional languages as well?
I have this firmware and radio versions:
Firmware: 2250.09.12505.111 (--> 1.25.111.05)
Radio: 5.50.09.18_22.24.50.09U
Thanks,
Raanan
I swear there was a thread by ansar who describied a way to unbrand Mozart without all this Gold Card (and especially Y-cable) hassle. I can't find it for some reason anymore.
With regard to your question 2, I suspect you'll get two things after unbranding - you'll get updates faster, and you will be able to flash ROMs that support your language when it's added. You won't see Hebrew keyboard on your T-Mo De phone till cows come home.
Now if only I could find that thread...
I think you mean this thread:

Hi guys,
I got in hands a Samsung SCH-I939D in China (where I live). Of course the Android version in it is a chinese Android with all kind of app sI don't want, no market, no google apps ect...
I looked on the forum for some info about this phone but the search engine didn't give me any relevant result.
Main question : Is it possible to find any custom Rom or at least non chinese rom possible to install on this phone?
Second question : Has anyone tried to hack this phone and is it possible to install google apps, root the phone or anything?
I have some intermediate knowledge about android (rooted, installed custom roms, unlocked... several android phones)
Thanks.

Hi there,
I moved to the US from Germany and I am going back to visit. I would like to give my mom my old GS4 but she doesn't know ANY english. I formatted the phone and I didn't see German as a language. I rooted it and put on Safestrap but I don't know which custom roms might have German in it.
Right now I am on 4.4.2 with I545 VRUFNK1 . Any help would be very appreciated. I am still fairly new to this whole thing but I managed to root the phone etc. I am just looking for a custom rom that works with this phone and that also offers German. Thanks guys
I have seen where a number of people have successfully ODIN flashed a US Cellular model with the Verizon firmware -- has anyone done the reverse or tried the Turkish ROM?
I've downloaded all 3 as I'm still on the last Oreo OTA, so ready to go.
I ask because of all the bloatware from Verizon and inability to disable most of it in app settings.
I am using this with a GSM SIM, so doesn't matter as far as Verizon connectivity.
I have never had a US Cellular, so just unaware of they throw a myriad of JUNK on it like Verizon does. Zero knowledge of Turkish version.
I understand this is a rather odd thought process, but why not? Haha :victory:
Thanks for any input!
I use samsung t827 tablet Turkish rum but can this tablet be root and can be used as a phone ..?
