But anyway, I made the mistake of flashing my ROM to a Korean Firmware. Now my phone doesn't get a signal. I have the baseband. How do I apply it? I have set my phone to USB Debugging mode. What software do I need etc?	Nomad (952)

However, you want to be in Fastboot Mode (at the Bootloader level) and flash it from there. To get in to Fastboot on most phones it's one of the Volume Keys + Power. On Samsungs it's Vol-Down + Home + Power (They call it 'download mode', vol-up takes you to Recovery). Think of it like this: Fastboot is the Bootloader, the first thing your phone sees when it gets turned on, kinda like the BIOS. From there, you can flash a custom Recovery (OS Manager), flash the firmware in some instances, flash a custom RADIO Firmware etc too Hope that points you in the right direction	Chilling_Silence (9)

Maybe the bootloader is still locked? I have installed Java and Android SDK . Nothing happens when phone is plugged in . After it is off if I press volume up and power button it goes into recovery mode but doesn't give me options . It just says service centre blah blah or press power button for 8 seconds to use phone .

1402215	2015-06-08 11:08:00	It was locked. I had to use FreeGee app to unlock it. Now when I press the two key combination I can choose "start" normal, recovery or restart bootloader. Now let's see .... The more I read online it seems this is a notorious phone to unlock.	Nomad (952)
