I there,
I am living in Shanghai and I have a China Mobile Number.
China Mobile is now deplying their 4G network, the problem is they have their own 4G Network standard (TD-LTE)
which means that you have to buy your device from their shop (fine)
but they are full of bloatware and without the Google Applications (not fine)
My question is does somebody know if it possible to root and flash the rom on a CH Mobile bought telephone ?
(without messing up everything of course)
Cheers
D.

Hey.
I have a GT-5500 with CM7 and Android 2.3.7 - this phone is from germany and has the I5500XWJP4 baseband. As of now I am in canada an I bought a local SIM-card from PC (presidents choice) - when i put it in the phone it wont connect to the service, but if I use my o2-SIM-card from germany I do have service an I am able to call and write SMS.
In germany the phone hat no SIM-lock, so I could use SIM-cards from any provider.
So my question is how to get the canadian SIM-card working?
I think there must be some kind of county-lock otherwise it should work? Do I get sth wrong?
sincerely
Klaus
Hello, I want to know why my Moto G XT1032 Brazil performs and receives calls. Receives but does not send SMS and no data network work or is not detected ... Networks such as EDGE, 3G ... I'll tell you everything I did in Moto G since I bought for you to understand: First, I installed the ROM of the United Kingdom 4.3 so I can upgrade to KITKAT, after a time my data networks stopped working, then installed the ROM from Germany and to no avail. I went back to stock 4.3 ROM from Brazil, today I made the upgrade to the KitKat and still no data network. How do I get my network back up and running? (Sorry for the english, i'm brazilian, translated in google translate)

maybe it's cause from your carrier network, not your device
have you try with others carrier?
or, if the carrier isn't the problems, please check thread of the rom, is there anyone else having same problem like you
As Said, I bought this phone from amazon, not sure which country's version they have sent me but I am unable to get my wind mobile sim running in this version. I tried to install sm-n9005 firmware for Philippines and Thailand but none worked.
Can anyone please suggest me or give me a link as to which country's firmware I have to install. I went to wind mobile service center and they say ya this mobile can work with wind by doing some flash and they will charge me $50 for that.
So can you suggest me the firmware version I have to download ( as I see almost all the European and Asian countries in the list except Canada.
I am using

Hello,
i use the software XperiFirm to download firmwares for my Z5C.
I live in Austria but there are only three providers in the list from Austria.
I have a phone without any branding and i don't know which one i should use because i am not a user of any of this providers.
Is it possible to use for example the T-Mobile firmware even if i don't have a T-Mobile Sim Card?
And is it also possible to use a Firmware from another country?
Best regards
Zillinda

there might be problem with sim card if you flash USA roms cause they more restriction & ...
but other than that you flash any official firmware with same android version.
:good:
Normally you can use any version for E5823.
The difference between the austrian roms are that providers pack some of their apps into the rom( like "a1 apps" or "mein a1" for example. If you want a rom without provider apps you can use the customized de version for germamy for example.
However you could of course run into a little problem by using a rom from another country that i had myself.
From what you said, i assume you are neither using a1, t-mobile nor drei as your provider. All of the other providers in austria like bob, hot or upc are using the network infrastructure of one of the those 3 big providers by national roaming.
However his could result in you to have allow roaming all the time to use mobile data. Could cause costs if you live near the boarder or if you forget to turn of when you leave country.
I had this problem with the customized de firmware for germany with which i got my device. My provider "Ge org" wasn't recognized correctly. After flashing the A1 firmware( Ge org is using A1 network) all works properly.

Hello, thanks for your answer.
My provider is HoT and it's using the infrastructure of T-Mobile. When i flash the T-Mobile Firmware do i still get the OTA updates and what about the warranty?

I also believe this should be the best choice for you.
If you stay unrooted you should have no problems with OTA updates. Warranty should be afaik no problem if you don't unlock your bootloader, which is not needed to install another stock rom. However i don't know for sure, cause i don't care much about warranty since i repair hardware issues on my devices by myself

Do i have to reset my phone before flashing? I currently have a firmware without branding and i want to flash the one with the T-Mobile branding.
Is it possible to flash it without a reset?

That's up to you.
A dirty flash should run and work properly. But a dirty flash (especially when your data and apps is the same as when you where using Android 6.0) can result in unexpected behavior:
- Crashing apps
- Wakelocks
- Battery drain
...
So it's always better to do a clean install when you upgrade to android 7.0
If you don't care about the possibility of instable behaviour or battery inefficiency, then a dirty flash (keeping your data/apps) will be much easier/faster.
