Well, yes. I wish I had found a simpler method but I didn't and I wanted to make sure everything is going to work fine without letting issues happen during or after installation. Perhaps it seems complicated because of that and that I didn't want to take chances. Better be safe than sorry, I presume. For me, who has been flashing ROMs since 2010 it didn't take more than 5 minutes to complete all the steps. Evidently there are lots of users who just gotten into bootloader unlocking and don't know much about the details of flashing. That's why I tried to make this guide quite well detailed. Anyway, if I find a simpler way or I get know of an easier method or Realme itself will approve the change between regional ROMs I'll add those steps to my post of course. Don't thank me yet. Thank me if it worked btw!
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nagar.xda:
Thank you for your tutorial, Excellent!

Should this convert Realme Q to Global version or just ported rom? Developers saying it's impossible for now because of different partitions sizes..

I have flashed the ported R5P rom in the Russian forum on my realme Q few weeks ago..

What about ota update in your method?, would it work and I can update regularly or not? I have to wait update fixes to fit the realme Q?

And can I lock the bootloader or mobile will getting bricked?

Many apps don't work because of root and unlocked bootloader..

Appreciating your effort ??
[Realme 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] greenys':
According to my knowledge official ROM change from global to China or vice versa is not possible. I don't know about OTA updates. I presume you can't update that way if you flash this ROM for as you said different partition sizes. This ROM while it's still made from global, several stuff from system were removed so it'd still fit onto an RMQ device's smaller partition. The ota updates are not modified this way so I think you couldn't update that way because the ota would be too big to fit onto the RMQ device's partition. I believe you shouldn't worry about root and bootloader unlock. Without rooting and using safetyprops Google notices your unlocked bootloader thus both cts and basicintegrity will fail. In my tutorial I go through that bothersome Magisk method to trick Google's security system. After doing that both SafetyNet checks pass, meaning Google shouldn't see your device as rooted. Root is dangerous for some apps because it can trick them. Unlocked bootloader is dangerous for the device and its owner. At least according to Google. Meaning with Magisk SafetyProps applied only DRM Widevine stuff shouldn't work completely like Netflix full HD and above. Every other app that requires certified device fingerprint should work. Banking apps and online purchases work just fine for me. I think you shouldn't worry, only if you're the type of guy who wants ota updates badly and watches DRM protected content all the time. Else this is completely safe ROM.

[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] phoneissue:
1. does lg g8x sprint unlocked support tmobile volte?

2. can we cross flash lg g8x sprint unlocked with lg g8x USA unlocked variant?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] atirox:
1. The hardware and software support VoLTE. Whether or not you can get the proper T-Mobile IMS settings programmed onto your Sprint G8X is a totally different story.

2. I suspect that by using a jig such as Octoplus it would be doable. Or even using the modded version of LG Up, so long aa you have the proper KDZ file. Until someone manages to unlock the bootloader and we can have at this phone we wont know for sure. What model is your G8X?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] doctorman:
Now that we have bootloader unlocked .. is the sprint g8x a good option for TMobile?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] GnatGoSplat:
I would also also like to know. Probably should have done the research a week ago, but I bought an unlocked Sprint G8X to use on a T-Mobile MVNO and just recently learned that it'll need VoLTE for voice calls to work after the 3G shutdown. Ugh.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Try looking up SPB Backup ver 2. It has a cool little feature that allows the upgrade (or downgrade) of any rom installed. Not sure if it works through different versions (wm5, wm6 and wm6.1) though.

Hello amazing community,

How to evaluate ROM ability of Mate30 PRO
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] drdespair:
Hey all, just wanted to share a tweek that I found somewhere (not for diamond) that helped me out with my aqusition problems.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS/

EnableAGPS = 1

GPSMode = 4

dont know what exactly it does but it fixed all of my getting a lock problems. (dont forget to update your QuickGPS with the latest data also)

The only thing I want to see fixed now is the horrible update delay that you get when you are walking, still havent seen any solutions. From my point of view it talkes about 30~40 second of walking time before the position "catched up" to you, then it work quite well for as long as you are walking and stop only for a few second, if you stop for longer it seem to go back into what ever mode it is in from start so another wait for it to catch up.

I am doing all this is OziExplorerCE. Tested it on Googlemaps as well, works fine but the follow delay is there too.

D.

GPSMode = 1 means Autonomous (Self Fix no Assistance Required, Pessimistic Approach, Very Slow but Very Accurate)

GPSMode = 2 means Assisted by Server (Less Optimistic, Somewhat Slow but Medium Accuracy Quality)

GPSMode = 4 means Assisted by Server with Extended Ephemeris (Very Optimistic, But Sometime we loose Accuracy Quality)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bastono:
can you let us know what's the other setting on your SUPL AGPS? such as ServerIP, ServerPort as well as other setting. These attributes are crucial to get AGPS works.. Thanks in advace.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jdobry:
Could somebody to export

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS/

complete tree to this forum. I would like compare other values in this tree with my phone. Thank you very much.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MikLSP:
I'd guess that AGPS is Assisted GPS and it can also be activated using the Advanced Config Tool

Same issue here. The customer support is so bad. I've had a mail chain with about 25 mails. They say they would fix it in a certain date. And when that date approaches they say my phone doesn't support VoLTE and VoWifi. I tried my SIM in a redmi note 7 pro and Mi A1 and I am not getting both services. They just kept sending me in circles. Make a tweet tagging Bharti Airtel. They might take up this issue if it gets enough traction.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 Questions & Answers] eagle06:

I expect there will. The previous models have the option for 2G/3G (as well as 2G only) if you want to disable the faster mode. I am with you. I live in the UK but while I occasionally travel to cities that are getting 5G soon (like London) where I live won't be covered for at least a year.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] sublimaze:
If you are not in a 5G area, the 5G radio has no signal to capture, so enabling 5G has no benefit. You can prove this to yourself using a download speed test app.

This depends on the carrier. Some carriers allow users to switch between 5G/LTE/3G/2G, and some don't. Verizon is notorious for restricting user options, even on Verizon-branded devices.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] saman0suke1:
Hi, I'm thinking about buying a locked T-Mobile Google Pixel 4 XL being from outside the US, and I'd like to check first with you guys what are my options yo unlock it. I've read here that if the owner Is a long-time owner they can request the phone to be unlocked, although this might not be the case with the person I'm planning to make the purchase with.

Is my only option to unlock it by buying a code (if that"s still a thing..) anyway, I would appreciate your help, thanks!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Intub8:
I contacted T-mobile directly because I do not have an account. The rep told me if I bought the pixel 4xl in the store I would still have to wait 40 days for an unlock code even though I am buying the phone outright.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] TeeJay420:
Took me about 6 or 7 Pixel 4XLs, ordering and returning via Care, TMOHelp, or a Supervisor from either. On the 12th (of February), i received my last and final Pixel 4XL, when i received it, i left it in the UPS Box, so the IMEI is yet to be active, and i owed FULL PRICE for the device, and i contacted the right Rep @ TMOHelp on Twitter to white list my IMEI, before i even activated or turned the device ON. The TMOHelp rep asked for the new IMEI and 5-10 minutes and he would try and work his "MagentaMagic" and i tried explaining, as long as he whitelists the correct IMEI, we wouldnt and shouldnt have any issue. He came back and said all went well, just turn the device on make sure I update the UNLOCK App and choose PERMANENT UNLOCK and there she was : T-Mobile Google Pixel 4XL Carrier Unlocked and awaiting fastboot instructions... Only took 6-7 Devices and a little over a Month!

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] CBMC:
Mine was unlocked immediately (within 20 minutes) via the Twitter help. Once the rep white listed the IMEI it took about 10 minutes for the permanent unlock to show up. My device is not paid off, however I have had 6 lines on a business account with auto pay setup for over 2.5 years. I'm definitely thinking account longevity helps.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] TeeJay420:
https://twitter.com/TMobileHelp
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Caltinpla:
I used the chat option within the T-Mobile app and got it unlocked immediately after the phone reboot. He didn't even ask for the IMEI number but just the last 4 digits of the phone number of the phone to be unlocked.

He mentioned the phone must be active with T-Mobile service for at least 40 days, account in good standing, and been with them for a long time. So, it really depends on how and who you talk to to get it done!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] CBMC:
Yes. I think the length of time you are with them is the key factor. The guy on Twitter said as much.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] crypt0kiddie:
Okay so I am in shock right now.

I'm a brand new T-Mobile customer, my phone is on a lease and I just got this Pixel 4 XL like 4 days ago.

My phone is fully SIM unlocked and I can verify that the OEM bootloader unlock is no longer greyed out and I've already checked it and it worked.

Originally when I asked I said hey I don't really have a good signal where I work can we unlock the phone so I can use a different sim when I'm at work and they told me I needed to pay off the phone and wait the 40 days.

I tried messaging them again and asking them to enable the dual SIM feature and they did. They asked why I needed it and when I told them they said sure no problem, they set my T-Mobile SIM to be an eSIM and then white listed my phone so I could use the T-Mobile unlock app so that I could use my AT&T SIM.

Sounds like the trick is to ask them to enable dual SIM mode due to signal carrier issues. I will say that the person that I was speaking to told me which type of tower I was connected to and that they could see that I had an extremely poor signal in that area and that there was probably nothing we could do to fix it. Basically they verified that I was in an area with a poor signal and then were like sure no problem!

The person helping me stayed right there on Twitter and walked me through the entire process until I had both SIMs functioning together.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Caltinpla:
Have my phone just over a week, tried and failed 2 times!

Finally, after third time chatted with T-Mobile through Twitter got my phone unlocked.

It depends who you talk to... Just keep trying!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] KING_SONY01:
Hello everyone!

I'm not too familiar with Samsung devices, I believe my last one was a Galaxy S4 :eek:...

Anyhoo, I ordered a Note 10+ SM-N975W which is the Canadian variant with a Snapdragon 855 after reading it is superior to the Exynos version, however I'm European often travelling between the UK, Spain etc.

To get to my question

Is there any firmware I can flash on to my device for example N975W to N975F or even N975U1 which is US unlocked

I realise the chances of flashing N975F are slim as that device has the Exynos, but any help is greatly appreciated!

My carrier is EE not sure if that matters
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
You can only flash firmwares for snapdragon, NEVER firms for exynos
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] KING_SONY01:
Thank you for your reply!, I suspected this was the case.

With that being said!

Is there a firmware you'd recommend between N975U1 or N9750?

Both are Snapdragon variants the difference being that one is US Unlocked the other is China/Brazil

The only differences I imagine there is, is the timing of OTA updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
I own an exynos model, what I know for sure is that the differences in snap firms are mainly about the bands supported, you must dig into this
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] joyousfrank:
The N9750 is supposed to be for the Snapdragon Dual Sim model.

If you need to flash a different firmware, I'd recommend you to go for the U1.

My old S8+ was originally W and I flashed the U1 firmware for "faster OTA's" but I always ended flashing newer version on my own.
