Wrong section, this should be in Q&A.
Anyway, the problem is that the phone seems to have been rooted or another firmware seems to have been flashed to it. You can download the latest firmware from Samfirmware.com and then flash it through Odin (Many guides available online and on YouTube). That'll help your phone get to the latest updated firmware.

Any country is fine. Every firmware works for every country unless you purchase your phone through a carrier

It's same like the UK version? Because I saw that update on sammobile a little time ago. But this romanian version it came out after the UK one. So it's something new, or if you can find some change log please post it, I'll try to search to.

do you have to root the tablet in order to install update?

No you don't need root to install it, you need a recovery mode like CWM or TWRP (hope that's the name). If you're from the region where the official update is available ota, no you don't need root or costume recovery, you can update via Kies. If you will flash the ROM from sammobile site via recovery (ex. CWM) and you have root, you will lose it becouse that's the official ROM from Samsung and it's not already rooted, but you can reroot , your device. Look in to the Android Development category to finde out more about rooting and flashing ROMs or Kernels. I recommend you to read more about rooting and flashing ROMs becouse you can brick your device easily, so take care.

Did you successfully flash another country's firmware? As I'm not using Kies, I'm not even sure which country it comes from! I'm a little worried about baseband being different in different countries.
Came across this, which suggests it might not work in the first place: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53721117&postcount=5
I flashed with odin a firmware for g900h from south africa that looked to me it had kinda same csc letters. Worked fine and now i have latest software for my phone. Kies recognise it also. All ok. No problem with modem or basebands or anything. My phone is carrier free so unlocked.

My S5 is also THR, so I looked-up sammobile for firmwares with PDA:NCI, PHONE: NCI and CSC: NCH.
Found Irak and Egypt to match those and both have the NE2 update available. Not sure I'll proceed with this considering some users reported bricked device and had to find the appropriate firmware. What if there are none for this country?
I wonder where to get the original thr firmware also. I flashed as i mentioned and all working great

So you flashed your THR model with the Egypt firmware and all ok? Good, I'll proceed with that as well.
South america i think. I found one that matched my csc letters, allmost. Check for the one for you.

Flashed MID country, but no unlock setting for s-view case. Not sure I had this option before though? Don't have the s-view case either, maybe that option shows up when the case is there?
that wasn't the case on my GS4, maybe someone can confirm??

Too late but maybe this is a help for other persons, You can flash: THR, ACR,MID,XSG,PAK,EGY,XFA,AFG,TMC,TUN ; All this firmwares are the same. Install "Phone Info app" to see the codes that you can flash. For Lollipop I have flashed Panama (TPA) and works ok.

You could go to the store where you bought it and let them update it for you.

By flashing official firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=31893 you are able to do it officially. Odin is official but it's the backdoor of the official-ness, usually used when trying to recover your device.
Authorized service center also flash threw odin, but they knows what they are doing, if someone doesn't know & flash wrong way or wrong firmware.......

Stock ROM for the UAE variant

I visited the sammobile firmware website and searched for the stock firmware and didn't find my n910c exynos I bought it from the UAE but I see most of the other countries has the same baseband version N910CXXU1ANJ4 is it possible for me to download any one with the same baseband version? , Any body know what to do ,Thanks!
My friend - you've posted your question in the DEVELOPMENT forum.
There are several reasons why this is undesirable. I will report your thread to a Mod to have it moved to the Question forum - here on XDA people really appreciate other people stick to the rules.
As for your query, I suggest you persevere and find exact same C version or flash the custom ROM for C found in this development section.

WIFI Disabled after trying to root

Hi guys, im from Argentina, i tried to root my S7 edge SM-G935F made in vietnam using CF-Auto-Root with Odin following a tutorial in youtube (big mistake), when i finished, the Wifi icon turned grey like it was disabled. I cant turn it on (obviously cant find any Wifi networks because its off).
I tried doing a hard reset but the problem continues. The phone was working perfect. I downloaded root checker after trying to root but says "Root access is not properly installed on this device" , so totally fail :good:
What should i do? What ROM can i flash? and how? Here is my actual software:
Android version: 7.0
Baseband version: G935FXXU1DQB1
Kernel version: 3.18.14-10422490
Build number: NRD90M.G935FXXU1DQB7
Thanks

First things first, flash official firmware via odin, then try rooting again and choose Any touchwiz rom from xda (cause aosp is not really stable as there's no source code released)
How to flash firmware via odin
Do some research on google (at least it's how you become pro [emoji6] )

yes, but try to flash the one for your country as the csc has the codes need to have your phone working optimally with your provider.
Other countries will work but not 100 %
