Hi,
My Note3 is not specific to any carrier - bought from CPW (uk) without any contract / sim card. It seems to have the 'generic' firmware on it.
1. Does anyone know if I can flash the carrier specific firmware for my carrier on this phone ? my carrier is three UK, and im hoping their firmware will have a more reliable signal for their network than the stock one. I also understand that when Three turn on 4g this december, they will be sending a software upgrade to make it work. Im unsure if this is a sim update, or a firmware update, but it seems unlikely that my phone would get it if its not Three specific if its a firmware update.
2. Can I flash back after this?
3. WIll it burn my Knox fuse?
4. Will it wipe the phone (assuming I flash the zip from SamMobile using KIES) ???
Thanks in advance for any answers
George
No!
In answer to my own questions..
just downloaded and flashed the H3G rom for the UK, and it flashed everything, then failed at the end.
My phone is now in emergency recovery mode, so i grabbed kies, and went through the procedure... except it didnt see the phone..
now trying to re-flash the original using Odin...
The knox fuse has not been blown tho.
Hoping the re-flash to original works...
Only other option I can see is a complete recovery in Kies, but that defo wipes the phone

Loaded Kies earlier and it prompted for an update. Did so then hooked up my tab to check IF there were any updates.
Got the following under Firmware Information.

I updated to the German JB ROM when it came out, then swapped back to the UK when it finally released. I didn't change CSC or anything else. I did use Chainfires Exynos Exploit app to root and fix the exploit then I fully unrooted prior to flashing the UK specific JB release. Running firmware update from the device throws back the usual device has most recent firmware installed.
My device is saying OFFICIAL, in the Status menu AND in the Recovey menu. Anyone else having similar trouble with Kies?
May be it has something to with exploit patch which has rewritten some of the system files and change the binary numbers as ota checks for that I suggest you do a clean install
Csc LL1 BGL isn't UK.
you'll need to change it to BTU using csc changer, (don't forget that will factory reset)

I have the exact same issue. My device is not rooted or anything. Ive just installed the german firmware via odin.
Plus when I go to check for updates it says registration failed.

I noticed that yesterday after I posted this thread. I was under the impression you had to use an app to change the CSC on the 8010. Maybe my tab wasn't a UK tab after all lol.
The only thing I have ever done to the tab was install the exynos exploit fix, rooted, then unrooted and installed the german rom. Then I installed the UK rom when it was released. Never once did a factory reset or apply any CSC changes....
Yesterday I installed the exynos fix rom that Legion posted links to.
Its not causing any issues so far. Not had any region specific issues, but then I never had any before either.
I have N900w8 , which was Tigo branded and CSC showed the region Colombia "COL". It was on android on 4.3 and I flashed Bell 4.4.2 update. Although the flash was successfull my phone doesnt detect signal anymore. Now due to NB7 bootloader I cant downgrade as its not a mexican firmware, Please help . I am in India and using airtel network, I had bought the phone via ebay.
Bump !! Sorry for the bump But I really really need help here !

We need more details before offering help/advice. E.g. full firmware names before & after attempted upgrade etc.

Okay so your phone is a Mexican N900W8. You can update to the latest NC1 firmware here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=31089
You can flash an old modem back, if you know what your CP was in the past firmware, you could try.
Can you also check if your IMEI is not null/null and you have a working baseband under Settings -> About Phone.

He said it all, now it depends on your knowledge whether you know it or not, to decipher his problem.

When I had flashed Bell 4.4.2 which is this
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26653
After flashing IMEI is not null, baseband is still there although its the new baseband of bell. I also tried resetting CSC to rogers but it doesnt make any difference.
Before flashing , I had taken some pics

Does this change Knox status (will i lose warranty)? I'm currently on NEE firmware and would love to get N asap.

No, flashing stock doesn't affect KNOX
This method is already being discussed in the main N thread too

Does it wipe my data ? I have RO(MANIA) CSC. Will it work?
Did not worked for me. Still on my Home CSC ... I flashed CSC not home_CSC
It's the same for me. SmartSwitch shows a DBT version although I flashed the CSC from SamFirm.
When I take a look at the CSC on the phone with *#1234# I can see the OXA CSC. I think that's wrong...?
What's wrong? Can u please help me?
Several people from different regions reported this guide and firmware works for them: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-galaxy-s7-edge-nougat-ota-update/
I am currently still downloading
If you're coming from DBT, you have to flash TPL/PRT/PLS before BTU!!! After this, it will work...
I am on BTU firmware but is rooted and modified. Can i flash this without loosing data? My status will be official after flashing it without loosing data?
This is my version. Can I get 7?

Odin failing at sboot.bin could mean you are flashing wrong firmware for your phone or your trying to flash older version firmware than what is on your phone(bootloader version). Have you tried latest firmware g950fxxu4cri5.
Yes,I think it's the last one for my phone,actually using RENOVATE_ICE_G95X-13.4,but now I see that it was locked to a Portuguese operator, MEO and I'm trying to flash the unlocked operator rom, could it be that?

Could be. I don't use carrier branded firmware and if I can help it never will there's enough crap just with Google and Samsung. If it does fail with unbranded (carrier) firmware then flash the carrier version. Either way you will more than likely need the latest firmware version to return to stock rom.

it doesn´t want to cooperate,already tested a Carrier rom and unbranded and the error it´s always the same,after loading the binaries on Odin and the COM port get´s blues it fails on the first step.
Finally made it,using this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Thanks spawnlives for your help.
Hello everybody,
I am totally new so please forgive me if I ask something stupid.
So I got this phone, S8. In Download Mode, it shows Knox is not tripped (0x0) but my S-health and Samsung Pay doesn not work. And I am sitting at android 7 and cannot upgrade.
Pics attached below.
I know nothing about rooting or flashing so a little more details would be super great. Thank you guys.

Go in the recovery what version does it say at the top. Also what model is the device its written on the back next to imei number.
Looks like you are on carrier locked device with locked bootloader and rooted rom.
Your solution is to flash same version of stock firmware.

Hi Vcek,
It is S8, SM-950U. Unlock carrier. Android 7 version, G950USQU2BQK5
So in the end, is it rooted or none-rooted phone? The Knox 0x0 confused me alot.
I did some google and someone says sth about flashing with Odin, and flash all of the options such as Bootloader, AP, CP, CSC and so.
Then my question is,
1. Will flashing with Odin using the firmware I download updato.com (could not download from SamMobile) trip the Knox?
2. By saying stock firmware, do you mean "official" firmware or else? Like I can use a firmware for T-Mobile, android 9 (Pie) or I have to use a T-Mobile, android 7 version?
3. The firmware I got from updato.com is for AP flashing, so for other options like CP, CSC, where can I download the official files?
4. I should not flash bootloader, should I? Since it will trip Knox?
5. Is there any better sites than updato.com and SamMobile? One is so freaking slow and the other is not downloadable.
Thank a lot for helping me!
Hi all,
The problem was solved. I just flashed all of the options with a stock room using Odin.
