Hi all, I have just got a JP ver. SO-05G with stock 32.3.D.0.148 firmware. It has SIM unlocked so I like to keep this. Can this tablet share SGP771's firmware or patch? If I cross flash SGP771 fw or LineageOS, will I lose the SIM unlock?
And is Magisk never work in stock fw?
Thanks a lot.

Hello!
I've searched many threads with usefull information through XDA forums, but some say that it is absolutely necessary that the phone should be unlocked, some say I cam update firmware even if it is unlocked.
I don't want to brick the phone,that's why I'm asking again...so, please, tell me which option should I choose.
Thank you in advance...
Your phone doesn't need to be unlocked to update the firmware
as above, the phone doesn't need to be unlocked.
However, if your phone is using branded carrier firmware, you can not update to a newer generic firmware and must wait for your carrier to release the updated version.
If your phone is running generic firmware, then you can just update to newer generic firmware no probs.

Thanks! You mean that if my phone is on Vodafone RO, I can upgrade only with a Vodafone RO firmware?! If I try to put a non-branded firmware will not work?
Thank you...

Hello.
Me too I am curious about changing my firmware.
My phone is carrier locked. But I want to use a non branded firmware.
Did you tried? It is possible without bricking my phone?
After flashing a non branded firmware I will be able to use SIM cards from other carriers?

It should work with official baltic 5.0.2 lollipop and I think the baseband should work too. I bought my device from Hong Kong and I use the nordic lollipop and I haven't noticed any baseband disfunctionment. Not sure about the root but it should work.

If you flash a different ROM, i suggest you back up your FTF. To do that, search xda how to make an FTF.
You will need to revert back to your original firmware region to receive updates for that region or flash FTF via flashtool
Quote me in case you expect a reply!
Good Luck
Hi guys,
I want to update my z2 to the latest MM but I'm not getting any OTA updates. My device is locked to a carrier (SMART TELECOMMUNICATIONS PHILIPPINES). I was wondering if I can flash any MM based ftf to my z2, is it going to face signal problems?
Please help me out. Thanks.

The latest firmware is not yet available for your current Carrier, although you could update with flashtool using a generic version! If you wait a bit until the update comes out I can make you an ftf for your Carrier.
Thanks a lot. I might try flash a generic firmware to my z2 just to try it. Then wait for the official one from you.

No problem!
BTW: .291 is out for the Customised Verison of Philippines, but not Smart Communications. Your version should be coming very soon!
Once it's out, could I just flash it over to my current?
Btw: will there be any difference?
AFAIK there is no difference.
Hi. I flashed android 12 russian version XQ-BC72 firmware,on my XQ-BC52. I lost network. Any idea? Thank you
You lost it due to other modem config. Idk if that'd work if you'd replace the file in the ftf with the a11 eu one and flash it that way.
