Hi,
In the brand new firmware 12, you can see a new option available in the update section under the 3 dots.
LIke redmi or other chinese devices there is an local installation available.
I tried with the zip of the v6 version without success but may be it's a brand new way to go back to stock (in order to have VOWIFI back and so on)

Problem:
Updated my AT&T u8652 Fusion with a Huawei OEM firmware for a u8650 Sonic phone. The firmware upgrade did not finished all the way through step 2/2 but the phone boots up with the new firmware version identified via "About Phone". I did this without rooting the phone and have not back up.
With this firmware installed: I was able to root.
The problem is that this firmware was made for India - in the folder name is specified as this:
HUAWEI_U8650_Android_2.3_V100R001C151B863SP02_India_Trench
After the upgrade seems that all functions of the phone work, but the radio seems to be incorrect, I can no longer connect 3G, only EDGE, and the cell phone sensitivity is a lot lower than before the firmware upgrade.
==========================================================
I don't mind the u8650 firmware, but would like to get the radio portion to be correct for the US.
I have and identical Fusion that has been rooted with the stock AT&T firmware. I made a Clockworkmod/Rom Manager back up of this phone and installed the back up on the phone in question.
The functionality now looks like AT&T original, but the radio part is still messed up. With boot/system/data updated, the phone now has "no service".
==========================================================
I would like to put the broken phone back to the stock setup, but do not know how to utilize the identical phone to help enable this.
Or I would just like to update the radio portion for the broken phone.
Can anyone suggest some ideas to do this?
Thanks,
Rob

I seem to be in the same situation as you, its an ATT phone, but when I put an ATT sim inside it asks for an unlock code! Did you ever figure out how to get the original radio back?

Thanks for your reply. I could never fully overwrite the India firmware where I could get the 3g working. Since I was within 15 days of purchase at Walmart, I just returned the phone. I ended finding a perfect phone on Ebay for $65 and installed the "Zac" rom. No issues ever since.

Thanks for the reply
Hello everyone, I have a problem on 2 telefoni.Ho purchased 3 redmi notes 3 pro (SD) for my family, one arrived with Italian and the other 2 no, I upgraded via miflash to my and I mounted version "Note 3 qualcomm last global developer version fastboot" on the official site en.miui.com and work fine on my device.
I then tried to do the same procedure on the other two phones arrived in China and end of the flash without any error and selecting the option to flash, none of the two phones on but at some point I get this error message:
Encryption was interrupted and can't be completed. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible. to resume using your phone you need to perform a factory reset. when you set up your phone after the reset you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that backed up to your google account.
The phone at this point is blocked, dont start.
The bootloader is blocked!!
To remedy I tried to flash another rom, rom work with the other mobile phones but no longer read the sim !!
Now the questions are two:
1) How is it possible that on 3 identical cell and performing the same procedure one works and 2 no ??
2) that I could mount version that has the Italian as the language ??
If you were to continue to have the error not advise me sims to perform the procedure for the recovery dell'imei ?? I checked in the settings and under the written SIM1 and SIM2 is an IMEI code ....

Hi Dear, I have same situation like yours
did u find any solution?
best regards
Did you select clean all before flashing ?
Read this thread
https://xiaomi.eu/community/index.php?threads/35527/
I apologize for writing late but I really take long to find the solution to my problem that I have solved the question in a casual mode...!!
I purchased this 3 cell, at the same store but at different time, the first phone is a snapdragon edition, but the other 2 phone are SPECIAL EDITION....
The store sent me the different phones and do not know why, without telling me, the outer box is not clear, bear the same inscription.
I found out by accident, approaching the phones, I realized that one was slightly longer than the other and doing a search I found the measures that explained the difference, are therefore come to the conclusion that the two phones arrived after they were SPECIAL EDITION, would never have started with the Rom Snapdragon, downloaded the correct version everything is back to normal !!
All's well that ends well!!
Thanks!!
Hi all!
I bought an S6 Edge second hand and after flashing a stock ROM, I had the "emergency only" calls issue, I tried everything I could find in the forums to no avail and I ended up taking it to a repair service. I did not think they could fix it but they did and I would like to know what they did to it in order to prevent it from happening again and to know if I can leave it as default (not custom OS) so that it can upgrade.
State of phone when bought:
So, the phone was working well with all carriers (from Colombia). The only thing I was able to notice after I bought it was that it was still on Marshmallow (6.0.1) with carrier branded stuff. It was in perfect shape otherwise.
So I downloaded a stock ROM and installed it using Odin. After this the phone would not let me make calls as it was not registering on the network. It did not even let me make emergency calls despite getting full bars of signal and being able to recognise the list of carriers when attempting to manually connect to them.
Important: The ROM downloaded was for the right version of the phone which was the G925i and the IMEI, serial number and baseband were not altered from the original. Also, I checked the phone to see if it was reported as lost/stolen and it was not (of this I'm sure because in Colombia you can consult a centralised database on any carrier's webpage). Also.. Here in Colombia it is illegal for carriers to lock phones.
Steps I took to fix it:
Downloaded ROMs for all carriers, branded and unbranded, I even installed one from Trinidad and Tobago and a LATAM one.
I performed all the tricks to disable and enable flight mode, location services, try con connect manually to the networks, changing to GSM only, GMS/CDMA, international roaming, etc.
I also extracted modem.bin from an earlier version and flashed the modem.bin with Odin (6.0.1 moden on 7.0, 5.1.1 moden on 6.0.1 and 5.1.1 moden on 7.0). All modems flashed correctly and the issue remained exactly the same.
So I finally gave up.. I installed the latest stock ROM which was an unbranded Nougat (7.0) version and took it to a repair service and they fixed it in a couple hours.
What I noticed after the phone was "repaired":
- The phone was rooted, SuperSu was installed, no other root app was installed.
- On SuperSu, there are entries for ADB shell (they all say Superuser command contents have not been logged for this entry) in a two minute timespan.
- The android version was downgraded to 6.0.1, I was told not to try to update it.
- Developer options was enabled with USB debugging turned on.
- The boot option (the one where you can wipe data and cache partition) was left as original (not the TWRP one).
- The ROM used to downgrade was the same I had before but only downgraded the version.
I suspect this same procedure was performed before on the phone but it had the original ROM carrier branded so it seems as if they installed a custom ROM, rooted it, connected with pc and performed some command line stuff to fix it, then cleaned the bootloader to a stock one.
The questions:
Any ideas what did the repairman do to fix the phone? Also, would it be safe to make a full backup with TWRP and flash again a stock ROM upgraded to 7.0 and then flash the backed up modem to get it working? Or would that possibly screw up the repair?
Thank you all in advance for any help. I'm sure there are lots of people out there experiencing the same "emergency only" issue I had but there does not seem to be a fix around, but clearly there is one! So I hope this sheds some light into what could possibly happen.
I have been at this issue since Saturday and gone through a lot of possible solutions but to no avail. So first of all i am in Ghana. A friend came to me with his s6 edge that he had some issues with his phone going off when he unplugs the charger and getting stuck in a bootloop when turning it on unless he plugs a charger in before it boots up fully(even with full charge)
So first of all he wanted to do a factory reset(phone was not rooted). Factory reset completed successfully but issue still persisted.
Specs of the phone was:
android 5.0.2
model number = SM-G925F
original csc (i wasnt able to note that down because downloading stock firmware was going to be the last ultimate weapon. first i was going to try some custom roms to see if it fixed the issue. Besides it was working fine here in Ghana.)
So that's when i flashed a twrp and i dont exactly remember but i think i might have tried to flash a lineage OS or something. But long story short, when u try booting up, the samsung galaxy edge screen with powered by android came on and stayed there. and it did not go on to boot up.
After trying through the night i then decided to use the ultimate tool and flash a stock firmware. Try as i might none of them got past the "Repartition Operation Failed" portion of flashing it. The Pit File was becoming an issue. Tried firmwares for my country, countries nearer to us, contries in africa and finally even european firmwares. And since from reading from here and other forums that the F variant was an international version the international pit files should work but they werent.
All this while whenever i go to Odin Download mode on the phone, the product name there was SM-G925D. This started the confusion because at that point i had looked through alot of firmware and that was not an option. When i searched google for that, the search results mostly correlated it to SC-04G, which looking at it was a Japanese firmware. I didnt want to use a japanese Firmware for obvious reasons. At least i wanted a firmware that was by default in English. But after about 2 days and seeing a lot of answers saying stuff about going to settings and checking stuff there plus me wanting to see an interface and work my way from there i succumbed.
And lo and behold, it flashed on the first try(i used the 4-part files firmware. It was android 7.0). But when it came to booting up, the splash screen had changed from samsung bla bla bla powered by android to NTT DOCOMO powered by android. But it booted up and i skipped through the setup. i had to change the language to english but there were a lot of japanese bloatware that came with it. But as i expected when i popped a sim card into it, and restarted the phone, there was the not available symbol(circle with a bar across) where the network bars were supposed to be.
Seeing that this was not going to do, i went to the settings this time to check on any important details and this were the new details
android version 7.0(January, 2018)
model number=SC-04G
build number was now SC0.....(cant write the full code as im currently in odin mode)
But obviously it was the japanese network. After this i have downloaded more firmwares and they all fail at "Setting PIT...Re-Partition failed". Somtimes i try to mix the 4 files up using maybe the CSC portion of the Japanese firmware but BL, CP, and AP of firmware from my region. This time the error is "sboot.bin failed".
And that has been my grind till now. Downloading likely firmwares and all failing to doing extremes like the mix and match. When the mix and match with BL, CP, and CSC of Japanese with AP of my region works and eventually boots up, there is no touch input. The touch does not work. When that happens i just have to start all over with the SC-04G, which never fails to work.
I have even seen some things about changing csc files in the file explorer with root so i flashed the Japanese FW and rooted it. Went through the processes but to no avail.
PS:
The first part of the Odin screen where you choose to continue or reboot is now completely in Japanese whiles it was formerly in English.
And there is no indication on the phone itself that it was from Japan. The back says Samsung and below it says Galaxy s6 edge. Friend bought it from a shop in Ghana here brand new.(not from a carrier)
****So here lies my confusion. How come a phone with an original model number of SM-G925F have a Product name of SM-G925D in Odin and hence only Flash Japanese Firmware SC-04G(CSC code = DCM) but would not flash any of the international variants. Even if i can eventually get the Japanese firmware to read the sim card we can manage it that way. But thats for when there are no options left.
So please i would like to know your ideas as to how this is happening and any possible solutions that might be different from what my batallion of open tabs are telling me. You can also let me know if you want any more details i might not have included. Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
Update On Issue
I ended up using the japanese firmware in the end because it wasnt picking anything else.
This time after the setup process, it picked up the sim card and the imei is available. So since network is now available i just rooted it with cf autoroot and removed the japanese bloatware and everything looks normal now.
Except the original issue of going off randomly whn power cable is pulled out even when having full charge.
:good:
Having a hell of a time getting my S7 updated. It's a LTE (Verizon) version yet it does not have a SIM card or data plan active. Whenever I go to check for updates, I'm being told it is up to date. Current Android version is 10. I'd like to get this to Android 13 if possible.
So I tried to manual path. I downloaded Smart Switch per one recommendation, and that does not pop up any "updates available" messaging. I downloaded the Verizon/Samsung upgrade utility and it does not see the device. So my next idea is to use ODIN. Herein lies my problem: I cannot find Verizon firmware (Android 13) for this device. Verizon has a huge guide on the new version but no download links to the firmware to be found. Sammobile does not have it, and the other Samsung firmware sites only seem to have 12.
Any recommendations would be extremely helpful.
