Can we change Samsung Galaxy S5 Version?

[aashishj]

Hi Friends,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 - G900AZ (Cricket Wireless Version). But as you know this version has limitations like no tethering/hotspot etc. I have been with Cricket for more than 6 months now and I got my mobile unlocked with the carrier.

Is there a way I can get the software version changed to either the generic version (G900F/G900H) or to any other Carrier Version like AT&T or TMobile (G900T/G900A) etc?

Please let me know if there are any official options (like getting it changed from a Samsung Service Center/ Carrier Service center) or unofficial like Flashing or getting it done from a local phone repair center etc.

Will be waiting for your expert advises. Thanks is Advance .

You can use FoxFi to get around the hotspot issue.

* FoxFi (WiFi Tether w/o Root) - Android Apps on Google Play

* Foxfi and Credentials erased - regain No Lockscreen pincode password

* FoxFi password removal the easy way

* FoxFi remove the pincode permanently

Nope .... Even FoxFI says Mobile Hotspot not supported

Apparently Cricket has the Hotspot function eliminated from the their version of the ROM.

they did that on purpose to keep their costs lower than other carriers.

So, even if I get it unlocked tethering cannot be enabled?
