I recently bought a refurbished GN3 in the UK. It was marketed as an N9005 but it turned out to actually be an N900A - the AT&T variant. Obviously all the AT&T guff is not much use to me, and I'm having difficulty making it install the 4.4.2 update from the UK.
Does anyone know if it's possible to install the generic N9005 ROM on this phone? Any pointers to how to do it?
Cheers,
Tom
I currently own an Australian Optus carrier variant of Galaxy S7 Edge (OPS) and want to install an Australian unlocked variant of Galaxy S7 Edge (XSA) since unlocked variant has recieved 2 updates since its launch but carrier variant has received none..
1. So my question is will this trip my KNOX Warranty and will it disable my Samsung Pay app use?
2. Also, if I install another country's Galaxy S7 Edge firmware that has the same model number, will this trip my KNOX Warranty and disable Samsung Pay Use?
3. Which country (code) receives the fastest new updates for the device SM-G935F?
4. Lastly, can I install a Galaxy S7 Edge firmware with a different model number? I want to try South Korean variant firmware..
You can flash any official Samsung firmware, and it won't trip Knox.
Someone else asked this earlier today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/to-flash-generic-australian-rom-to-t3364559
Also, Samsung Pay isn't in Australia yet, and won't be for some time.
The Aussie carrier devices should get the latest update soon hopefully.

Thank you for your reply. Just one more question! I heard that if a phone is rooted, Samsung Pay app is not usable on that device afterwards so will it be the same for installing the other firmware? I know that Samsung Pay is not yet available in Australia but I would like to use it when it's launched.
Correct. Samsung Pay won't work on a rooted device.
Also, if you root, you will trip Knox. You can't use Samsung Pay on a Knox tripped device.
Even if you go back and flash stock firmware, this will not reverse Knox. This is permanent.
But if you just flash Samsung unbranded firmware over your Optus firmware, this is ok. Samsung Pay will still work.
Just to clear up something else, does your handset need to be unlocked before you can flash another official samsung firmware?

Hi,
I've the exact same problem with my GS8 bought from USA. Do you have a solution now or still looking for one. Kindly share.
Thanks.
I have the G950U in the UK which was originally from USA, but I would advice not to flash the F/FDfirmware to the U since the U has a Snapdragon chipset and Sony camera while the F/FD has the Exynos chipset and Samsung cameras. Haven't payed with Samsung Pay yet but it registers my UK cards.
Hi did anything help?
I bought the samsung s9+ to replace this phone and need to send it back to samsung for trade in. Just curious which firmware should I download for the international version of the phone? I initially bought the phone in Europe over an online site like Ebay and I'm not sure about the country as I bought the international version.
Hello all,
I have just bought a Samsung S8 model number SM-G950FD from eBay seller never-msrp listed as New and sealed.
I noticed they sold over 9500 items until now. Does anyone here own one from this seller and can confirm from which country the firmware is and if OTA updates (Oreo) are available?
I am not planning to root and load any custom ROM, so want to make sure I will be able to update to latest OS thru OTA.
Thanks
