Hello,
i recently bought an Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 in Germany and found out that it is a Baltic model with the XXUFNC4 Firmware installed.
Can i install the official German XXUGNF1 Firmware on this model with Odin?
Sorry if i missed something but im totally new to Samsung devices
Thanks in advance
Sure u can. As long as the firmware is for I9505.
Mine was a Vodafone Austrailia model which does not have a 4.4.2 update, so i updates mine using ODIN using firmware of the Baltic region.

I have Galaxy S4 I9500 with the original firmware out of box is I9500XXUAMDK.
I want to ask can I flash official firmware region Asia. It has problem or not if we flash firmware another region?

i then got notified recently of an update (which was 4.3)
Hi all, Im not sure if im posting in the right section, I am new to forumns, I have a samsung galaxy s5 G900F, I am in the UK but cannot get update for lollipop via samsung kies 3 or OTA. All it says is latest updates already installed. My samsung was bought in italy but was unlocked to all networks. My build number is KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9, is the reason it is not updating because its from Italy and that I have to wait for Italy to release their update?
Well, yea if your ROM is Italian then you need to wait for the Italian update
Or flash a UK ROM, in which case you might as well flash the stock Lollipop ROM from sammobile or here XDA
Yes, your rom is italian no carrier, in italy for now lolipop was released only for some carrier(Vodafone and H3g)
Thanks for your reply, I am searching for the UK ROM and found BTU - is BTU for no carrier? also do I need to Root my phone to install the ROM?
Is it alright to install the Romanian Lollipop firmware with CSC ROM with an unlocked international SM-N9005?
If not what other official lollipop firmware can be installed other than the one from Poland with CSC XEO?

Yep, you can flash Romanian Lollipop firmware or other that will be not branded. The unique is that you don't gonna receive OTA updates.

Hi,
What model of phone do you have? The LTE SM-N9005? If so (and I hope someone could either second this or correct me if i'm wrong) I believe you could flash via odin (and you do not need to be rooted to do this) the lollipop update that O2 has. 5.0 is available for the UK via the sammobile website, so if the basebands remain the same and the phone is the same model, I believe you could just download the 5.0 update from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Since you would be flashing an official version of sammy's rom, you won't need to be rooted, nor have a custom recovery.
Cheers

so, you are using the sm-n9005, and the firmware u have is the same one as the firmware that the 02 UK version runs in 4.4.2.
Unless I'm mistaken, and if anyone sees I am please correct me, you could flash the 5.0 version with odin for o2 UK. I don't see why it wouldn't work, since it seems you have the same phone and firmware currently in 4.4.2
cheers

Your device is using of UK (with CSC: BTU). It still without Lollipop update. I recommend don't flash via ODIN any firmware and wait for future updates (via OTA) if you aren't rooted.
