I have tried almost 10 diffrent firmwares from different places. They all seem to be the same ones and none of the firmwares seem to work except this Australian one (courtesy of Mercyless) which can also be found somewhere in GSMHosting.
I have a few questions if someone may be able to answer or help:
Why is it that most of the firmwares available are not working on my phone, leaving me with a circling logo at boot screen?
Why does the Australian and Vietnamese Firmware seem to be the only one that works?
I would appreciate if someone would direct me to a the UK Stock firmware for this phone or even talk me through (if possible) to install the Alcatel Pixi 4(4) firmware as suggested somewhere on the internet. Thanks.

I recently Bought my S5830. It Originally came from a carrier named IMMEX, which is a small startup wireless provider in Pennsylvania, USA.
It was unlocked, and worked well with my At&t SIM card. It originally had 2.2.1 on it, and unfortunately that is all I remember.
I wanted to overclock it and long story short, I flashed as many roms as I could in a 24 hour period without backing up my original Firmware.
I am currently using gingerreal, and it works better than any other firmware I have found., I get a quadrant score of 1950 and I'm happy with that, except there are a lot of bugs. Wifi barely works, I can't install any apps without the phone rebooting, and I can't connect to HDSPA.
I checked at Samfirmware, but they have no usa region firmwares that I could find. I can only assume that this phone never had a major release in the USA.
Does this mean that I am screwed, or is there a firmware that is similar enough to my region that i can restore full functionality to my device?
Also; I am sorry if this is in the wrong forum. The general Forum description says for Q&A, but the tick box below this text frame tells me I am breaking forum rules by posting this here.
i think why don't you flash European or asian firmwares ?? if you want stock then you can use them there is really no difference ... just some are more stable
Well, that is a simple fix. Thank you VERY much. Downloading now, as soon as hotfile will let me, I'll update the thread with the results.
Hey, I tried several different firmwares from asia and europe, and I still have connectivity issues, with both Wifi and 3g. With any of these, I can't make outgoing calls either.
Any new Ideas?
try flash different modem and see any of them solve ur problem. see thread in development subforum
I am looking to flash a ROM to my SGS3 but have to start again as a noob.
I have used mskips tool to root the phone ( i think ) In the tools menus it gives an option to download a stock ROM from samsung-roms i think and it gives some different versions that end in:
XXALE8
XXALEF etc, etc
What do these refer to and how do i find what is suitable for me/most up to date.
My carrier is T-Mob UK and the letters from my Device Info page is BVALE4...not sure it is the same thing yet but im guessing so. I am first looking to try a stock/rooted ROM and then i will probably move up to custom stuf once my knowledge grows a little...along with my confidence. Any pointers welcome.
Best Regards

ps Hi to J0SH another Hull member
This is my first post and am completely new to smart phones, and have got out of my depth. I bought a new Samsung S2 i9100 from China about 6 months ago. The GPS stopped working (something I discover from another thread here, is not uncommon), and I tried to update the firmware using Odin.
This failed and the phone is now soft bricked as I understand it, as I learnt from another thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/how-to-replace-chinese-firmware-t1192575 ) that Chinese Samsung phones cannot be flashed with European firmware.
I have looked on samsung.com and Sammobile and the original firmware is not listed anywhere (I9100ZCKG4). I have tried installing, using Odin, CWM Recovery and the stock firmware listed on samsung.com for China, but both fail.
I have read the thread on this site on this issue and following suggestions from here this takes via Chinese sites http://bbs.gfan.com/android-2099143-1-1.html and then I eventually end up at http://bbs.gfan.com/android-4920184-1-1.html where I think there is a link to the firmware I9100ZCKG4. The link takes me to http://115.com/5lb/ and Google translate is unable to make any sense of this page, and I cannot get any further.
The other problem is that I think I enabled USB debugging before starting ,but now cannot be sure.
Maybe I have learnt and expensive lesson, but any help would be most welcome, especially if expressed in terms a beginner is likely to understand.
Thanks

Hello,
I have recently obtained a Polaroid (Southern Telecom) P916 Tablet (9", 16GB, BN: 10,01,009,120,01). Unfortunately it seems to have been flashed with the wrong firmware (P906) as showing in the recovery menu. The factory reset/wipes do nothing and I believe I need the original stock firmware for the P916. Unfortunately, Southern Telecom does not have it on their firmware support site, and their tech support department are too incompetent to find it. They keep telling me they have no upgrades for this firmware, despite me asking for the original.
If anyone has this tablet, or knows where the stock firmware can be found, or a compatible custom rom please kindly let me know.
Thank you very much.
Hi,
I bought a G850EMW from China to work in the UK. It has Android 10 and works perfectly. However I would like to update to Android 12. I have seen guides for this involving downloading a Rom from LGRom.com.
My current phone is running "V20a-LAO-COM". LAO seems to be hard to find information about, and there are no LAO roms on the site. I saw on one forum a reference to "Latin Amercian Region".
My question is can I go ahead and flash my phone with a Rom from say Germany (DEU) or will this cause a problem (is this a "cross-flash") as I'm supposed to find a compatible "LAO" region firmware? I don't want to brick my phone, but I would like the latest security updates, battery improvements, etc.
Thank you.
