Hi,
I know the majority of questions around flashing firmware are people wanting to move away from carrier specific firmware.
However, I have an unbranded G925F and am using it on the Three UK network. This means that I can't access Three's VoLTE feature.
Does anyone know how I can flash the Three UK firmware on to my G925F so I can access the VoLTE feature? I've tried flashing the firmware from SamMobile through Odin but it keeps failing and soft bricks my phone. I've had to flash the BTU version to restore it.
Any help from the experts on here would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Mo
Can anyone help?
Use a PIT file to repartition your device before flashing rom from any region.
Three has a different size hidden partition. So as above need to use the correct PIT.
Thanks success123 and lynxblaine.
Sorry for the late response, I didn't have email notifications enabled but I have now.
Are there any guides I can follow and where can I get hold of a PIT file to repartition my device?
Thanks,
Hi there doesn't seem to be a direct PIT file so without being able to be sure I would try the hidden 200m and see if that works... if not try a higher size

Thanks lynxblaine, I'll give that a go.
Sorry meant to be for touchmyface.

I've got 5 pristine telstra SGSII's here and I got my SGSII with custom ROM on it.
how do i get the modem from the telstra hardware onto my hardware?

Could you please post the modem, I flashed over my firmware with a custom one.
thanks
Any chance you have the telstra modem?
Telstra Modem
Hi Soregums.
Did you, or are you able to post the Telstra modem?
I am wondering if this will help my problem of not being able to access Foxtel on the mobile, as it doesnt recognise the phone as a compatible 3g phone.
I'd be willing to give this a shot and extract the modem firmware from my stock i9100t.
I've read that just dd'ing out the modem.bin does not actually give you a file usable in odin though. Could someone please clarify this?
My understanding is that in the process of rooting I'll lose the stock kernel though and there's no way to get that back unless Telstra post their firmware on Kies, right? Am I able to extract the CSC too?

Incorrect Modem.bin is flashed via Odin as phone .

Stock Samsung kernel is what everyone else uses .

Only from a functioning phone with root access .
Unless you can find a way to strip a rom .

I was on Samsung GT-I9100 / I9100XXK14 / 2.635.7-I9100XXK14 before rooting and flashing custom roms. On 2nd flash I lost all sms and call logs (nothing else) while using Titanium Backup Pro. I also had backed up in Kies. But found out I can't restore from Kies becuz it doesn't recognize custom rom. Purchased TB after I lost original XXK14 firmware due to a botched backup on my part. Can anyone help me get back to my XXK14 firmware temorarily so I cans restore sms and call logs?

Saw this link earlier but the XXK14 download link is broken and I'm not knowledgable as to what other stock roms I can use here in the U.S. on AT&T (not sure that carrier is an issue other than the fact ATT is GSM / HSPA+ 21 Mbps). I'd really appreciate directions to an alternate XXK14 link and/or another compatible GB 2.3.5 stock firmware.

I've checked and can't see anything there. Thanks.
Alternatively use Check Fus, Google it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Here is what you need to do
1. Get Check FUS downloader: LINK
2. Run FUS Select you Carrier / Region / Model and Download the Stock firmware for your phone.
3. Backup anything you need. You will need to wipe the data and the cache from Recovery mode before you flash the downloaded Fware..
4. Use ODIN and Flash the Downloaded Stock Firmware to your phone. You will loose the root access and you should have your stock back. Yeah before Install Wipe data and cache.
Lemme know if that works. If any doubt... just ask. Dont do anything wrong i'll try to help if i know the answer.

Did you try the "firmwares" link??
I have concerns about you flashing your phone if you can't navigate a website... No offense. I'm not trying to be insulting, but it's really easy to find.
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie so please bare with me. I have a Virgin Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S2 which was on Gingerbread 2.3.4 or 5. I foolishly flashed it yesterday to yes you guessed it, ICS 4.0.3. Now as far as the phone itself is concerned, everything is working pefectly fine. No issues whatsoever except now I've noticed that my carrier has changed to T-Mobile UK even though the phone has full functionality on the Virgin network still? Also I get the "This device cannot download firmware" message now when connected to Kies.
Have I totally ruined my phones chances of downloading any official firmware in the furture now? And how can I correct the display of my carrier? I'm guessing I will have to find a stock ROM from somewhere and re-install. But doesn't that do something to a ROM install counter someware on the phone?
Thank you in advance.

You are fine. Nothing has gone wrong. Use the FUS and get the stock firmware for you phone. Flash it via ODIN... Read the above few posts.
For your Flash counter and Bin counter, You can reset it back to zero. Look for Triangle.apk . TO use that you need to have a rooted device. Super user permissions... so run Triangle while you have rooted device? If not then root it to reset the bin or flash counter ( If you want) or just flash back the stock Fware..
No you havent ruined you phone. You can download all official firmwares. Just wait for the offical ICS for your region.
Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. So just to clarify... If I re-install the stock firmware there will be no need to root the device and install the program that resets the counters?
Also, I've noticed that Virgin Mobile UK isn't listed under my territory?
Thanks again.

From memory the only CSC that has Virgin UK is the CPW one Carphone Warehouse . Flash that or enter network settings manually .

no usually you dont need to do that
first tell me what do you exactly want to do????
i have flashed my s5 couple of times for upgrading it ..... its quite easy .... fully exit your antivirus and kies ... enable usb debugging ..... go to download mode ..... connect your phone .... (if phone driver is installed on your PC) ID com turn to blue or yellow ..... check some option (depends on what you want to do exactly) .... choose your file(s) that want to flash them ..... and .................start.
some people advice to remove external card (but i didn't do that)
