I want to return my i9500 to complete stock. I am in the UK, but can't find the i9500 firmware for UK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257645
I know this is because i9500 is not sold in UK. But, what would people recommend to install??
Thanks

Go to Sammobile the latest firmware will be on there
I have heard that the Pakistan ROM has little to no bloatware.
Does it matter which countries ROM I install?
Is there any country where the first language on the first screen says "English" (i.e you don't have to change it from French to English)... so it at least looks like a UK rom?

Hi
I just recently got S4 black and it looks like it has vodafone UK firmware on it CSC being I9505VODAMD9.
I believe due to this it will take a lot longer for me to get any official updates from Samsung? Can I easily change firmware to unbranded version? Will that void my warranty?
Anyone Please?

Hey guys,
I've recently bought an Galaxy S5 G900F from Vodafone Germany, but now i live in Romania.
The phone is running stock with all the vodafone and samsung bloat.
My question is how to flash an international rom without any bloat, or maybe my current country rom?
Sorry for being noob but i am new to samsung, not android

Just use Odin and flash any unbranded firmware from Samsung Updates,SamMobile or links from Firmware thread here
so there's no need to unlock bootloader and so on? only download firmware and flash via odin? does this unbrand phone? i mean get rid of vodafone bloat?
Bloat comes with the ROM, if you flash a clean bloat free ROM, bloat is gone

Example, my phone also had bloatware by the carrier, but I flashed various firmware various countries unbranded and branded without problems
carriers bloat is gone
but Samsung bloat comes with all stock firmwares
I now even i'm with Malaysian firmware or (not remember now)
See Firmware thread in General section
Thanks for the info
Would I be able to flash a T-Mobile Note 3 firmware (N9005XXUGBOD6_N9005TNLGBOD1_TNL) on an international N9005 LTE?

You can use any EU firmware, branded or unbranded, interchangeably on an EU device. The only thing you may run in to is 4G not being white listed for your provider, or a Size error in ODIN.
Yes. TNL is T-Mobile Netherlands. It's PHN (Dutch Unbranded) with a few apps and logo's. However, if you try flashing it over the Polish version, you'll get a Size error and will need a PITfile.

Yes. TNL is T-Mobile Netherlands, which is a modified version of PHN, Dutch Unbranded. It's not T-Mobile USA.
Thanx for the responses guys.

So, just to clarify, I would be able to flash the N9005 TNL firmware over an N9005 XSI firmware?
And if I did flash the N9005XXUGBOD6_N9005TNLGBOD1_TNL firmware, would I be able to go back to the original N9005XXUGNJ2_N9005OJVGNH2_XSI firmware?

I said EU firmware on an EU device. I know Europe's starting to resemble the Middle East more and more every day, but last I checked the United Arab Emirates wasn't a part of Europe.
It might be possible, but I can't say for sure.

In general, no. You can't downgrade.
It can be done, but there's a lot more involved than just flashing back old firmware.
Hi all,
Running a rooted S5 G900F, familiar with odin,
lots of tutorials for upgrading to Marshmallow, which I'm really fed up waiting for,
BUT on Sam mobile firmwares, which one would I need to successfully upgrade my phone in Australia?
Thanks
Doesn't seem to be any specific Australian region ROM for the G900F, so I'd go for BTU (United Kingdom) which is carrier free
See how you get on with that
Use this site instead, no limitations
