502 lollipop for france is out for g850f.
i have a question - there is a chain or a specific path that samsung follow for releasing updates in specific regions?
to be more specific when lollipop arrives in romania for galaxy alpha g850f?
i saw that orange lollipop has been released for g850f in romania, but for the unlocked variant is still missing!
if someone has any idea about region releases, please post some details and i will give a BIG THANKS!
michael
no one?
somebody? any clues?
WTF?
There is no Orange Lollipop ... there is only a late update to KITKAT from Orange Romania that as usual is the crappiest mobile provider ever!
yep, sorry, my bad!
i saw something wrong.
still, about when will the update drops nearby, from first french release, there is a country pattern or something?
Nope, it could be hours, days, weeks, months depending on the mobile providers. The France release could be a test phase and after if results are positive they could go global.
Problems with software could lengthen the process and the recent apps button bug that some experienced is bound to do just that.
Or you could update to lollipop with odin. But so far only the french version is out.
5.0.2 is out in france. You can download the update from sammobile.com. Go to their site, search for galaxy alpha in firmware section, then follow the links to download it. When done, follow the tutorial on how to install odin and drivers for windows PC.I did this, first try and worked like a charm. I'm using 'international' 850F. It's really a simple procedure.
yes, but...
i have installed the french version, but i need my country version when comes out from the motive that i hope is less buggy...
there are tests now to ensure the other versions are bugless, but i dont know how many weeks we must wait for.
in the end they will push the 5.1.1 update, cuz 5.0.2 is difficult to make it clean considering google got issues too with him
when on android we have to be able to control oure frustrations regarding updates, especially from oure carriers ...so...
KEEP CALM AND WAIT FOR IT cuz im not calm and im reconsider my next strategy of buying future phone
anyone with some news about when lollipop is released in other regions? ...for G850F
there are 2 weeks from france release?
how much do we have to wait?
i hope not another 2...
The best sourse for news remains Sammobile. When the update is ready, it will be posted there. We just have to have patience.

It is carrier specific. The french version is basically a test release to the public and all carriers get the same firmware. It is up to them to release that version related to them.
Basically dont blame samsung, ask your carrier when it will be released
what carrier? i'm a free carrier user! i relay on a carrier just with contract but phone was bought from shop. i can choose any carrier i want! so... who gives the updates for unlocked phones? it's samsung, i think.
corret me if not

Your csc is your carrier since thats what you were asking for, in my case my unbranded DBT alpha still has to wait for debital, the german unbranded version.
Also since you dont care, then you have your version with the french release.

Doesnt matter, it will work on the SM-G850F regardless and its a new build. Plus this is a thread about Region updates.
I would flash but I dont have time at the moment but I am sure its featured with multiple CSC's so it should not effect the use to anyones area. All SM-G850F have the same hardware and features. The difference in CSC are region tailored with specific bloatware and minor differences like lockscreen shortcuts and signal icons (some use LTE and others will have 4G). Most importantly this build has a new changelog which means Samsung may have fixed some issues with the French build.
Can i get it on danish?

Helloo,
So, if i flash the new UAE, can i still get everything on Danish? I mean, is there multiple language on? English would be fine too ..
Another thing, would this trigger knox? Thinking its not a custom, but a official ROM from Samsung, so it shouldn't trigger, am i right or?
I haven't flashed it yet but I believe it will have all supported languages. It won't trip Knox as long as its official from Samsung it won't touch knox.

Hello
China Packages have limited active Bands and Aggregation is not active on Global Bands! This guide will help you to remove that limit and active global bands easily!
Because of new security patch, your device must be rooted to be able to activate Diag Port!
I have edited the needed file and all you need is below files, So download them and do the rest:
Files Required
1. IMEI Converter
https://www.mediafire.com/file/4qkiwnglhnejtmb/IMEI_Converter.exe/file
2. QPST Flash Tools
https://androiddatahost.com/w68st
3. Notepad++
And the Important File
https://www.mediafire.com/file/k5yccs1ih2islv8/EditedQCN.xqcn/file
Guide:
First thing First:
I'm Not Responsible for any Damage caused to your phone
Use QPST Flash tools and make a backup, So if any thing happened wrong you can restore it easily!
For start, the Diag Port must be on:
There are two ways to enable diagnostic mode after root which are as follows:
1. ADB
Enable "USB Debugging"on your phone.
Connect it to your PC/Laptop.
Open "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" Command Prompt with administrative rights.
Type adb devices and press enter.
Type adb shell and press enter.
Type su and press enter.
Type setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb and press enter.
2. Terminal Emulator App
Install any "Terminal Emulator" app from play store e.g. Termux
Enable "USB Debugging"on your phone.
Connect it to your PC/Laptop.
Open "Termux" .
Type su and press enter.
Type setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb and press enter.
If got success you must see the Diag Port in Device Manager like this:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So let's start,Connect phone to PC:
1- Open QPST and make a backup
Save the file for any further problem
Now use the IMEI Converter and convert your IMEI to HEX!
NOW:
Open Editedqcn file with Notepad++
1. Find the line zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz zz
Replace them with the HEX number of your FIRST IMEI
2.Find the line xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
Replace them with the HEX number of your Second IMEI
3.Find your WIFI Mac address- Go to setting/My device/All specs/status
Find the lines(4 lines) zx zx zx zx zx zx
replace them with your WIFI MAC (the mac is already in HEX so, no need to change just find the exact)
4.Now save the file
Open QPST and thsi time choose restore tab, browse for qcn file that edited and restore it in your phone! Wait for 10 second and then unplug the phone!
Restart
And Boom
Now 4G+
After doing the whole procedure our device have permanent support to carrier aggregation? Flashing from global to China beta for example we have to flag this again?

This guide is for Chinese packages that don't aggregate bands in other countries !
One question:
This procedure unlock BAND 28 in chinese phones too?
Because I buy a chinese one (in a Xiami store in Shangai) and use it in Brazil. When I was in São Paulo I already saw 4G+. but I don´t know if it was using BAND 28.
Thanks
thanks for your work, I did everything as instructed and BOOM... no 4G+

I believe that this is carrier dependent also, so if your carrier doesn't support aggregation, then no use about all this process!
Let's use my example, i have global version of this phone and all of this is natively supported and when i am within reach of my carrier station then i have 4G+ sign, but when is other way around then there is no 4G+ icon, no carrier aggregation!
If I put my sim card in my old Samsung s8 I have full range 4G+, on Mi9 full range 4G only. So I'm sure it's the Mi9's fault.
I am using xiaomi.eu and I get 4g+ on mine. I suppose I don't have to do this, right.
Can this support b20 on chinese device model?

Excellent!
Then You know 100% that there is a "fault" on Mi 9 side but again, if You have Global-EEA Version and not Chinese then this is strange because all this bands should be already unlocked-enabled in Global-EEA version of this device.
Now it's cross my mind, what type of ROM is on Your device?!
Is it Global ROM or EEA ROM?!
I believe that I heave red on some forum that if You are in EEA region then it's better to flash this ROM on device because there is also some modem drivers discrepancy between Global and EEA version of the ROM (if You compare sizes of corresponding files in those two ROM's, You will see that they are different also).
Now, maybe I'm wrong but I also have this EEA ROM on my device and just as i have said, at me this carrier aggregation is working as it should.

Put your SIM card in the S8+, turn on mobile data and wait till you connect to 4G+, then open the dialer and dial *#0011#, press STACK1 if the SIM is in slot 1, and STACK2 if in slot 2.
You'll get to a ServiceMode screen, take a screenshot of that and post it here. The phone may be using bands that the Mi9 doesn't support.
partially works
I have a Mi 9 Chinese, 6/128. I did all the procedures correctly, and it shows that I have 4G + on the screen, but when I try to use some application / browser, there is no connection. Any suggestions what might be wrong?

ah. but, I have a weird s20. The model number says it's an S20 Pro (build number is: m_l805_pmz_a6601_welcome_en_yl_128a16_v04 and a CSC of zmu1a0h5 - also note, i'm not sure if that's l805 or 1805 and yl or y1 - dunno). I got the thing on wish (ya, ya...bad idea, i know, but it's too late now). I'm not sure what ROM to get, if any. I'm hoping a friendly guru can help guide me. The phone says i'm using over 100gigs of internal storage, but...i don't have near enough apps to fill up that much. I installed one 26 meg app, yet the phone is claiming it took up 3gigs of space. Whaaaat?
Is there something I'm missing? I mean, cell phones confuse me sure, but (as a programmer) I think I understand the basics and this just baffles me. Will this ROM work on this phone? Can I change the CSC, cuz some things come up with chinese or korean lettering, which, of course, I can't read so that's annoying)

It's definitely a bad clone, Samsung S20 Pro doesn't even exist... I'd ask for a refund.

Ummmm.....Please install a fake phone checker or something because there is no S20 Pro and 'welcome' is usually used in phones bought of fake stores.
Would you please send me screenshots of the settings app and other UI elements? I would like to tell if you've gotten yourself/your parents have gotten you a fake device.

This device finally seems like a worthy buy if one wants to go into the Samsung ridden 4nm fabrication 8 gen 1 CPU. Best temperatures and lowest throttling of all phones with that chip.
One can only hope if Realme releases it with an unlocked bootloader right at launch for it to get a proper aftermarket dev support.
Well, I am planning to consider a Realme smartphone, GT2 Pro is looking really a great phone, but unlocking bootloader and rooting is mandatory to me and i really don't know what to do.....
I guess on realme phones is not easy like xiaomi / google devices doing that. At last unlocking the bootloader could be easy but how is difficult to find official ROM updates in order to patch the boot image to install magisk?
Honestly after years with OnePlus I needed a change of pace, and this Realme catched my interest, same doubt of others, I'm using Magisk and root privilegies for small thing that probably won't hurt my experience, but I'd like to have the possibility to unlock the bootloader and install/modify things in order to get a better experience.
Let's cross fingers and hope for some developments, probably I'm going to buy it at or close to launch for the early bid discount.

Global Realme are nearly impossible to be unlocked, that is why i asked.....
This promising to be a very good phone, but xiaomi is always the 1st choice for people who need the phone to be unlocked......
It should be possible to convert the Chinese version which I have to the Global one. It's been possible on previous GT series.

But you need to unlock the bootloader.....
I hope it only take a while to be unlocked.... I've bought the chinese version. Ok it work fine, only some features here and there that give me some trouble, like not work "ok google" but instead there is this Breeno app that I absolute hate and other minor annoying things. For the rest its a very premium phone.
I hope someone with the EU/Global version will tell us something soon.
For mnow I have debloated all chinese apk and unuseful apps from ADB command (can't with Breeno main app, the search bar, market and whatsoever all gone), work fine, but the Google services doesn't work at their best. Wait for EU/global indication (if possible)

Dunno how the situation is in other country, but here in Italy Realme made some really bad moves.
The 100€ discount for the early bids became a 50€ discount for the 8/128 and a pair of buds for 12/256 (official site), on amazon IT the discount is right but it's available at the end of march.
So... I thing I'll keep my OnePlus 7T and wait

Well... I'm from Italy too....
Interested in the 12/256 version.
Used for a while the EU version of this phone thanks to a reviewer who gave me it for a day.
All I can say, it's a good phone with some bugs. Pictures are really great.
The problem is unlocking bootloader and installing magisk is mandatory to me and I already know that with Realme it's not easy as Xiaomi or Oneplus..... (Updates etc etc...).
So... let's see what will happen..... (including wating for the Xiaomi 12 Ultra too...)
I'm really planning to get this phone. Hopefully we'll see bootloader unlocking and custom ROM development on it.
So how do we know if it’s unlockable?
I have the global GT 2 Pro, in the DEV OPs „Unlock OEM“ is available
You can try to enable developer option, then enable OEM Unlock and USB debugging.
Then you can try to search and download the app Depth Testing 1.1.0 and try to apply.
If that app works, you can reboot to bootloader and type
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
Note that your phone will be wiped and all will be erased.....
That is the main problem of Realme phones, unlocking bootloader must be approved......

You can try to enable developer option, then enable OEM Unlock and USB debugging.
Then you can try to search and download the app Depth Testing 1.1.0 and try to apply.
If that app works, you can reboot to bootloader and type
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
Note that your phone will be wiped and all will be erased.....

I've tried it but no luck...
Same here. Looks they locked the app out.
Can we able to unlock the bootloader in the future? Or realme won't give us the permission?
Hi, I recently bought a Realme GT2 Pro and sadly it had the chinese ROM version, which has no Google apps or services, and it's full of bloatware. My objective is to flash/install the EU ROM so I can select many other languages and have Google services installed, with no chinese apps. So, first, here's the info of my phone:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then, the dev options:
And finally the nv_id:
So according to this "If the result is 01000100, 01010001 or 10001101, you have the GDPR ROM installed, otherwise you have the export one", I have an export ROM.
My first question is... what's the difference between RMX3300 and RMX3301? Are they the same phone and can their ROMs be flashed in both models, both ways?
I have a Xiaomi phone and the way to know if you have a Chinese, Europe or Global version is to check the ROM name: CN, EU or MI. I was expecting to find that 3300 is a Chinese GT2 Pro and 3301 is a Global GT2 Pro, but it does not happen to be the case.
According to my model, can I just follow this tutorial to unlock bootloader:
[Chinese and Global Version] Unlock bootloader, updated
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, etc! I have not tested the global unlock, Global version unlock thread. Make sure you make backups before unlocking the bootloader, as this operation will wipe all user data and apps...

using the RMX3300 deeptest apk?
And the follow this tutorial to flash Global ROM:
[Chinese Version] Install RMX3301 Global stock firmware from Chinese
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, etc! Warning: This procedure didn't work for some! Please test at your own risks! Additional warning: do not relock your bootloader once your global rom is installed. You risk...
forum.xda-developers.com
even though the title says RMX3301 which is not my model?
Thanks!

I'm quoting this part because I wrote it. I was talking about the global model (RMX3301), not the Chinese one (RMX3300). You don't have the export ROM, nor the GDPR one, but the domestic ROM (for the Chinese market) and your nv_id reflects that.
Now, I don't know the differences between the Chinese and Global models. The fact that the model number is different means something changes. Maybe it's just the certifications, or the LTE/5G bands that are different.
In any case, you can cross-flash the RMX3300 (Chinese) to RMX3301 (Global). If you literally follow the guide, you will end up with the export ROM (and TW nv_id). You can, however, flash any ROM you want, export or GDPR, and for each one of the two, chose which nv_id (region) you want. Each region has different installed apps. I suggest the IN region for the export ROM, and EUEX for the GDPR one. If you live outside India and Europe (EU, UK, Switzerland and EEA), and you want to flash a ROM that's more relevant to your country, you can chose Turkey and EU-NONEEA-Double for the GDPR ROM, and Taiwan, Indonesia, Russia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, South Africa, Latin America, Brazil and MEA for the export one.
I hope it's not too much information at once.

Thanks! I am doing the process right now!
Yeah, I want the Europe ROM. BTW, is there a TG group for this phone?

I'm not aware of any group specific for this phone, sorry.
Okay I just did the whole unlock bootloader process, the app all fine, recognized the fastboot device, proceeded, successfully unlocked, restarted and started from welcome tutorial.
Now I will flash the EU ROM hopefully.

Okay... when flashing the Global ROM, in the process there's an IMG used called super.img. Should I replace that super.img by an EU img?
I don't know what FW that super.img flashes on my device. I guess my question is... if after all that process I get a global ROM, should I then later go here:
[Global/EU] Collection of firmware files
Since a lot of people is asking for firmware files, OTAs, boot.img, I decided to collect all the resources here, so that it would be easier to get what you need. First of all, you have to identify your ROM version. It is not the scope of this...
forum.xda-developers.com
And choose a FW to flash over the Global ROM?

You should use all the files from the desired ROM, not only super.img. In the topic you mentioned there are instructions to extract the OFP file and merge the super.img. I understand they are not very clear, but it wasn't the scope of the post.
You should however be able to directly use OppoRealme-OFP-Flash and skip the extraction process. Please note that many anti-virus programs detect the tool as as virus. While I'm confident it's a false positive, if you don't trust it you can use the Python version, or do it manually (extract and merge the files, then flash as per instructions).
