Hello all,
I have the Samsung Galaxy s4 mini (GT-i9195) on EE in the UK, I am wanting to know how I debrand the phone with out rooting it or putting a custom Rom on it. (main reason I don't know how to and don't want to mess up)
From what I have seen I just do the following
Unlock the phone. (code from EE), then use Samsung's kies to update the firmware from EE's 4.2.2 to Samsung's 4.4.2 KitKat.
If I get the code from EE, is it just that simple? I enter the code and it unlocks to any network provider, meaning I can use kies to update the firmware and debrand the phone? or am I missing some step's?
Again I do not want to root the phone or put a custom Rom on it as I want to keep the warranty and have OTA updates as well as keeping the 'flash counter to 0'
Thanks for any help you can give me sorry for the n00b questions.
