just tried to flash singapore singtel firmware which is not even global, odin pass all 100% but upon restart everything is still all XFV and vodacom bloat. so for some reason my note is definately not even taking the firmware it seems. its like odin sends it all successfully but then the phone...

mustang7757 im back, i read on another forum to use comsy odin but that also didnt work as odin needs to be v3,13 to work on these new notes. anyways so i found on XDAdev website the patcheD 3.13 version which should be like comsy only newer. i even checked clear nand flash and even put in the...

i have already tested, ive used 2 different companys sim cards, i still get vodacom splash screen. also worth noting is that vodacom is the only carrier left in south africa that loads their own junk and splash screen, the other brands just load XFE or XFA with no splash screens or bloatware

unless you actualy mean outside of firmware, then the official country code is ZAF

South Africa has 3 of them XFV (Vodacom and branded with vodacom bloat and splash screen) XFA (Open to all south african and also lesotho networks and unbranded) XFE (Open to all south african networks and unbranded)
