I did exactly the same what you say and never couldn't back to TCE/TCE/TCE but if you can it's great.

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

You can't because bootloader in MXO is V2 and att has bootloader V1.

You have to wait an update from IUS it has bootloader V2.

Thanks for your answers, I guess I'll have to live without VoLTE
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Mark Hunter:
Your device is unlocked??? I have to do a "HotSwap" to restore TCE/TCE/TCE coming from MXO/MXO/TCE.

1.- Flash TCE Rom with ODIN 3.13

2.- First Boot , go to recovery and Wipe. (At this point my Movistar SIM is in the phone).

3.- Phone reboot from recovery and i take out the SIM (Movi) and Put the Telcel SIM.

4.- Phones detect the new SIM and ask for factory reset to apply changes.

5.- Phone boot and the CSC change to TCE/TCE/TCE.

Try that. Regards!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] nefi45:
I've tried that unsuccessfully. Maybe I'm mossing something. Did you apply HOME_CSC or CSC? Did your firmware was FRP enabled ? I tried flashing with my Google account active and Odin gives warning telling PIT file will be skipped. And I've tried removing Google account before flashing with no error yet ending with CHL firmware :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tiborprogmed:
you can always change CSC, with combination file flashing !!!!!!

I have flashed many devices with combination file, but that is a paid sollution so google it, and you will find.

however as others have said, volte services will be available with device bought from a specific provider.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Hybrid Soldier:
It's happening with my device too.

I bought it in Paraguay (UPO) and I'm from Brazil (ZTO)

I tried different ways and my CSC didn't change, it keeps UPO version.

I tried with the SIM card, without the SIM card and it theres no effects, I don't know why.

Now I can't downgrade because I'm in bootloader v3

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] roytje88:
Hi all,

I need some help I think. I searched everywhere and I kinda lost hope.

I unlocked my bootloader of my G8341 and a few months ago I got a working version of AOSP, but all of a sudden my phone didn't get past the Sony logo. My data is already lost, that's no harm, of course I made tons of backups :)

Tried to get back to stock rom with the latest Flashtool, but with no succes.. I think the combination of oem/vendor/boot is not right.

Of course I know that this could be a consequence but I would like to get my phone up and running.

Would like to get some pointers.. Any help would be appreciated!

[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Never heard of the app closer key. Can you elaborate? If you're talking about the right soft-key to close applications for the smarttoolkit app then i understand what you're talking about. But if you're referring to a different program, please share.

And BTW, to the original thread creator, The smarttooklit organizes the start menu in alphabetical order with anything in folder form to come up first. But you can also pin favorite programs to the quick launch section of the start menu which are the first 6 programs that pull up on the left-hand side. You just have to navigate through your start menu, press the right soft key select " pin to quick launch" and select which launcher number you want to assign the program to.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s3hacker:
Hi, I'm completely inexperienced with rooting phones and upgrading firmware. But I think I've found the experts =)

I've got a Samsung S3 SGH-I747 which is running Android 4.4.2. I use it strictly with wifi and it has a AT&T SIM card that doesn't have a plan.

My goal is to upgrade the OS so that I can use the TD Bank ap. 2-3 months ago they stopped supporting Android 4.x. So I want to upgrade to Android 7 or 8. Which OS would you recommend? How can I do this?

I've got nothing on the device that I care about too much (just a couple aps that I'd need to reinstall). So wiping it would be fine.

I've also got a Windows PC and a SD memory card (from my camera) - which could be used.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Are you in Canada? If you are, isn't your phone an sgh-i747m?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s3hacker:
I'm not in Canada. TD Bank is in the US.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Gotcha. TD Bank (Toronto-Dominion) is headquartered in Canada which is why I thought you were in Canada.

Before flashing anything, be aware of the fact that there is always a risk to flashing a phone with the possibility of a hard brick. Be prepared to deal with such a situation.

I have used the following instructions with great success; however, you may not be so lucky. Proceed at your own risk.

In order to run a custom ROM, you need to flash TWRP: https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys3att.html. Download the tar version.

I recommend flashing TWRP using Odin 3.07: https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421

Open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time, put the phone into download mode, flash TWRP in the PDA box. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the buttons to boot into recovery. Your phone should boot to the TWRP screen. Reboot the phone to ensure that the phone boots to the existing ROM. Reboot the phone and create a backup of the existing ROM and EFS folder to the SD card. Save both in a safe place.

Select the ROM you want to try and the appropriate version of GAPPs. Copy both to the micro SD card and place the card into the phone. Boot into TWRP, wipe data, system, cache, flash ROM, flash GAPPs, reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s3hacker:
I guess I'll order a micro SD card. My camera one is bigger.

Should I install Android 8? Can the phone handle it?

Thanks for the advice!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You can try different ROMs until you find one that suits your needs.

Android 8 may not work that well on your phone without bugs as 8.0 is quite new in comparison to the s3.

You can still flash a custom ROM without an SD card if you have TWRP installed. You can boot into TWRP, wipe cache, data, system, connect the phone to a computer, copy over the ROM and Gapps, and flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneyJSG:
Only flash a custom recovery if you don't care about the Knox counter that voids the warranty. If you like touchwiz, you're out of luck because there are no Android 7 or 8 touchwiz ROMs, only AOSP/CM based ROMs for the S3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s3hacker:
Thanks for the advice! I've made it all the way to installing a ROM. What ROM should I install? I tried installing a Lineage OS one (https://xdaforums.com/android/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3680656) but got an error saying it was for the wrong device. My device is a d2att.

Do I need something like this?

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-att/development/lineage-14-1-d2att-rom-t3774764
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s3hacker:
So next I tried installing: OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170811-1820-d2att.zip which gave me an error because another package was already partially installed. I used the "wipe the cache" option. It prompted me to install root (second time). It rebooted and had a message about updating approximately 100 aps. Ask for wifi. Said "Just a Sec". Failed to find software on my PC to sync (good - as I don't want it to sync). Booted back into reset mode. Wiped it. Tried installing OCT-N d2att for a second time. And it finally worked!

Then I had to go back to reset mode to install Google Apps.

All in all this took about 3 hours of work and research.

Sidenote: For reset mode it was necessary to remove the battery for 30 seconds to get into reset mode (and then hold the volume up, middle key and power button until the second Samsung screen appears - I found instructions that said wait for the Samsung screen - but there are three Samsung screens!). I was unable to get into reset mode when I didn't remove the battery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneyJSG:
You can install any ROM you want that's compatible with your phone on the NE4/NJ1/NJ2 bootloader. You just have to find one you like the best.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] StoneyJSG:
That ROM you installed, OCT-N-WEEKLY-20170811-1820-d2att.zip is a weekly. Meaning it's probably not suitable for daily use and may have non working functions and bugs. Good that you got custom ROMs booting though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DavidWCS:
I'm not sure how many of us are out there, tinkering around with the 8+ year old Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 . While I am a newbie, I have enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CrDroid. The newest O/S that I flashed is CrDroid ( based on Android 8 ). Runs great. Stable. Long battery life.

I have always used ODIN to INSTALL a 'recovery' system such as TWRP ( which is a .Tar file )

After TWRP is installed ( using ODIN ) I unplug phone from my computer. Then boot into TWRP recovery ( holding down the three buttons ). I do a clean install (flash) of the newest O/S that I can find ( Android 4.4.2 is really old ). It is that .Zip file that I flash, then reboot the phone. Always works for me. Eventually I learned how to back up all my contacts, SMS, logs, photos, etc.

My banking app works just fine.

BTW I am totally free of Google; no Google Play Store, no Google Pay, no Google Framework, no Gapps, no Google spyware, no Google bloatware, no Google tracking etc. I download all my apps as APK's which are readily available on the Net ( Google them . . . just kidding! ).

My older Samsung S3 i747 was a 'd2att' originally locked to Rogers, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Then switched over to MTS (Manitoba Telephone System). Now running on Bell Canada. My replacement is also a Samsung S3 i747, originally running T-Mobile in Arizona, now running on Bell Canada.

These are damn fine phones.

[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Questions & Answers] scarecow47:
So I flashed a custom rom and it required a specific TWRP recovery. But after installing the custom rom I had to install another TWRP recovery otherwise it wouldn't boot into OS (this recovery was probably unsupported and thus my phone was forced to boot into OS)

So every time I wanted to boot into recovery mode I had to use an app like flashify and flash the first recovery to boot into recovery mode. And after finishing I had to flash the "unsupported" recovery again in order to boot into OS.

Now with the "unsupported" recovery, I installed Xposed and some modules and then restarted the device. And..........boom! The phone is stuck in a boot loop! And I can't even boot into recovery mode.

Now here's the other nightmares I'm getting:

1. Cant use ADB to flash a new recovery because my device is "unauthorized" and in order to fix that I need to go to developers option which is not possible (because of boot loop)

2. Uninstall Xposed: button combinations aren't working and I cant go to recovery mode to flash the uninstaller zip

3. vol up + vol down + power button doesn't open recovery because the recovery is "unsupported"

4. Can't even boot to fastboot mode by holding vol down + power. It tries to boot into OS and starts boot looping

5. Can't use sp flash tool to flash stock rom or recovery because whenever I connect the phone to PC, the phone tries to boot into OS and....you guessed it starts boot looping.

Now I'm out of ideas and really depressed. If anyone can help me out with this I'll be grateful forever.

My device is: Lenovo k4 note

Chipset: MediaTek MT6753

Currently on this recovery: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298981920

I just bought an official new sm-g930f with a Knox set to 0x000 and I want to keep it that way.

The problem is that my phone came with a lot of swisscom bloatwares and apps, since booting up the phone the swisscom logo starts, and I find that very annoying and maybe battery draining with all of the swisscom apps. I want to remove all of that without rooting my phone.

I read different threads about downloading firmware and flash with Odin. Csc changing BTU ZEF. I didn't really understand and I'm afraid of rooting my phone.

Please help me. Thank you all
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Flashing with Odin won't root your phone or trigger knox, you'd have to specifically flash a custom package to do that, which is hard to accidentally do.

Here's a guide for flashing with Odin: https://updato.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-official-samsung-stock-firmware-using-odin

Using the same site you can download the unbranded firmware and flash it, flashing home_csc will keep your data but may not get rid of all the bloat, flashing CSC triggers a factory wipe but should clean your bloat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Magnustip:
Thank you for replying I'm currently downloading a firmware that belongs to another country using SamFirm, my question now is :

How to flash the CSC (not home_csc) to get rid of bloatwares ? Does it come with the firmware from Sam mobile ? Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Magnustip:
Update

Update of what I did ; for the ones who may face the same problem : Please excuse my English ^_^

I used SamFirm to download a UK country of the Oreo O.S (Named: G930FXXU2ERD6) I installed Odin 3.13.1 on my i5 laptop and select every file of the downloaded firmware in the dedicated cases (I used Home_Csc file, instead of Csc file *this one marked failed in Odin for me anywa*), then hit start

Once Odin finishes the process you will be asked to enter your phone secured pin code. Enter it then you will be asked to Reset the phone. Then it will boot it normally. For me I did hard reset and wipe cache it after the reset.

Things are working the way I want right now and OTA updates are also working. No bloatware or swisscom animation during boot.

Thank you all have a great day.
