Going through your requirements I noticed you said the phone needs to be already unlocked. But its not so how do I get that done before proceeding to this.If you have a private mail I can reach you on so we can talk more info. I really like your page and I am going subscribe to it
You can flash the global ROM normally, if something goes wrong, just flash the carrier stock ROM again.
what is the password
Does not work on sprint version android 8.0
got auth failed..
Any solution for this?
This error happens due to the outdated Odin version. We’ve already updated the new one, just download it and try it again. Thanks
Mine is writing FAIL. it is a chinese version
it’s only for the US-carrier variants.
Hello it keeps freezing on me when I try to apply filefile AP
Maybe the current bootloader level of your phone is higher than this global build.
I install rom, but after reboot still don’t have multi language, in first configuration there is only a few language but not mine (Polish)
You should then update your phone to newer Android version. It can support your language.
