SM-G985f - How to delete carrier Branding [Answered] - GSM-Forum

corvinu · 10-09-2020, 14:49

Hello

i have a Samsung G985f which i flashed with this:
G985FXXS5BTIJ_G985FOXM5BTIJ_XEF because it has Carrier Branding from Hutchison 3 Austria

After flash it is without branding for a short time but after that it installs automatically the carrier setting with the carrier branding.

How can i flash it to get the carrier branding away.

thx

You can try flash phone with needed region firmware and complete first setup with inserted sim card according to firmwares csc. For example: if i need svitch branding to ukraine then i need to flash SEK firmware and complete setup with ukrainian Vodafone sim card. This works with s10 and older, not tested with S20.

Thank you for your reply.
I tried but it always starts with the 3 Logo. I tried also to hard reset it after flash but no succes, i still have the carrier logo from 3 Austria. If you know something else which i can try?

Thanks.
