[Q] Firmware Versions

Hello,
I notice that in the ROMs page there is a UK firmware version called 10A that was released a week after a Vodafone Ireland firmware called 10J.
Does that mean that the UK 10A is already outdated or do LG ROMs get different version numbers for each region of firmware? In other words, does the UK 10A have the same firmware as Vodafone's 10J?
Thank you.

Okay, I can answer my own question. Just flashed with the UK firmware and it seems to have the same up-to-date radio versions etc as the Vodafone 10J firmware.
It also has the network config app installed by default.

Restore i9001 firmware

I need to restore the original firmware for my SGS+, but I can't seem to find it. I went to sammobile and found list of firmwares, but I can't find my country there, or any other country with the same carrier as I need.
I need a firmware for Serbia, carrier Telenor. The closest I could find is Croatia and Bosnia, but they don't have Telenor.
Is there a way to find the firmware I need, and if not, which one should I flash to successfully restore the original firmware?
btw, I bought my phone from Telenor and I have contract with them.

Flash an unbranded one for you device.
I had an Vodafone NL branded version but after the KIES update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 i got an unbranded one.

Flash another firmware

please can anyone tell
i have got a vodafone GR branded s7 edge
if i flash unbranded GR firmware can i still download OTA normaly ?
thanks in advance

Yes, as long as you flash an official firmware, you'll receive OTAs.

Nougat Firmware with MM CSC?

Hi...as the title says: Is it possible?
So to flash BTU and after it the CSC for my provider (it's from a MM Firmware)?
Tried the search function but couldn't find a statement.

it works, mine has xeu csc and I have flashed btu without a problem

Yeah...I'm also on BTU now. But I wanted to know if I could flash a 6.0.1 CSC now without problems.

yes, tested by me, downgrade is safe because bootloader binary is the same

Thanks!

@Pet1981 hey there? did you try to flash the marshmallow CSC? I'm thinking of doing so since Samsung Pay has been rolled out in my home country but I'm currently in Switzerland, using the BTU nougat update

Yep! Works without problems

Tried the MM csc for T-Mobile Germany (DTM) in Renovate 7.1.0 (Nougat) and it doesn't work properly, needed to switch back to the german unbranded csc (DBT)

Latest Nougat Firmware - Manual Install (Odin)

Hello folks,
I would like to update my S7 Edge (SM-G935F) to the latest Nougat firmware which if I'm not mistaken arrived UK BTU, which is:
PDA - G935FXXU1DQB3
CSC - G935FOXA1DQB1
I would like to install it via Odin, the most stock way possible (don't want root or custom recovery), just because that I'm tired that it haven't arrived OTA in my country (PT).
But I have a few questions regarding this manually update to the latest firmware of another country:
1) Manually installing the latest update from BTU UK will stop me from receiving future OTA updates? and if no, will I be receiving the OTA updates in the future from UK or PT??
2) My device with the currently firmware has no bloatware from any network (was bought unlocked), if I upgrade to the latest firmware from BTU UK, will I still have no bloatware? (or bloat will be installed?)
3) Will I have any problem from installing a firmware from other country (being both for the same model: SM-G935F)?
Thank you very much in advance! :good:

I have everything ready to make the manual flash, just want to clear this things out before I do it.
Thanks

Each country or region has it's own CSC which can be easily flashed
by itself without the need to odin flash a different country's full firmware.
The only time you need to think about bloatware is if you flash a specific
carrier's firmware like perhaps vodaphone and most other carriers add
their own bloatwares. But if you only flash the regional firmware for your
country or region like BTU UK you will not end up with bloatware.
Good luck and happy flashing!

Future OTA's will not be a problem if you have flashed
the proper CSC for your country before trying to update
future firmwares.

So you are saying that first I should change my CSC to the UK, then flash the latest firmware via Odin and won't have to worry about future updates? Can't I simply flash the latest UK BTU firmware and it will change the CSC and get me the latest firmware in once?
