You should give more details about your phone & What firmware you want to flash, to get proper guidance from someone.
Thx, I would like to flash the same firmware version but without carrier modofications to get rid of the bloat and get faster updates in the future. Version I'm running now is ANK4 and device is N910F.
No problem! If you download a signed firmware on SamMobile, you can flash it via Odin and knox will still 0x0. I did it because here in Brazil, my SM-N910C came with a lot of carrier apps and bootanimation, so I flashed a stock no carrier and it is working fine.

I've got a rooted, unlocked i9505 with firmware 4.3, and knox still at 0.
Been waiting patiently for an official XSA version of 4.4.2 (Kitkat) and nothing in sight.
This morning, the Google Play Store has been acting up, giving connecting/server errors. Have cleared Google Services Framework cache/data, Play Store cache/data as well as stopped, disabled and re-enable both Framework and Play Store to no avail.
The next step is a hard reset.
Given that I will be losing all info on phone, was wondering if there is safe 4.4.2 firmware I can upgrade to that will permit the 4G LTE/GSM network in Australia before flashing to the official firmware when it is released?
Thanks in advance
without tripping KNOX? for now -NO

Are you sure? I thought flashing a stock firmware from another country wouldn't trip Knox?

Stock, yes. That means: no custom CWM, no root.

Well if all he wants is a safe 4.4.2 firmware, that's not really a problem. I'd recommend downloading Odin from somewhere, and a stock 4.4.2 firmware from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com . I can confirm that the The VNZ and NZC (Vodafone NZ and 2degrees NZ) ones are unbranded, so are probably a good choice. Also comes with Navigon with (I believe) NZ and Australian maps, but I've had some issues with the activation for that.
Then if you want to just download and install an Australian 4.4.2 firmware when it comes out from one of those sites. Just don't under any circumstance try to downgrade from 4.4.2 to an older version.

Thanks. Will have a look. Aware that I will lose root. Just needed a stock ROM that will work. Do not intend to trip the Knox at this stage. Got the Nexus 7 for that.
Hello , i am trying to update my device to 6.0 but everytime i click update now i can see a new loading tab "Registering device" followed by "Processing failed." and sometimes "Registration Failed. " It is brand new , not rooted with the stock rom . The internet connection is good , i tried to wipe out the cache and i even did a factory reset . What should i do ? thank you
Just download the correct firmware from sammobile and use odin to flash it. You should be able to get around that issue by using this method.

No not at all, knox will stay 0x0 and your warranty will be retained. I can confirm this becuase i flashed the poland marshmallow firmware on my g928f and used it for like a month and then flashed the uk marshmallow firmware and knox is still not tripped. Afaik flashing the correct stock samsung firmware using odin will not trip knox and you should be all good.
i downloaded the build for my country . however the build number differs and there is no 6.0.1 firmware with my build number : XXU2AOL2 . can i flash it like that?

If your phone is unlocked and is indeed a g928f you can use an unlocked firmware including Poland(XEO) and UK(BTU)/(XEU) firmwares.
You can flash this marshmallow firmware if your phone is unlocked/ sim free. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/67513/G928FXXU2BPB6_G928FXEU2BPB6_XEU/
Make sure you wipe your phone before and after the odin flash.
DO NOT FLASH THIS FIRMWARE IF YOUR PHONE IS NOT UNLOCKED.
if your phone is locked to a carrier then you need to flash the carrier specific firmware for your country and depending on marshmallow availability you may have to wait for your carrier to release it.

I'm hunting for a way to debrand in the first place. I have a H3G (Three UK) branded phone and I've not had an update since I got it on March 8th. Still on the February security release.

There's a number of threads stating that using Odin will not trip Knox if you flash any other firmware. I was planning on replacing mine with BTU firmware as it is more up to date as well.
If you flash official firmware with Odin you won't trip Knox.

I'm in a similar position. I'm thinking about flashing another stock to my EE UK S7 Edge. I'm also still on Feb security release and really want to be receiving updates sooner.

You can easily flash ANY stock firmware with odin without issues. Images are available at sammobile and other sources. I´ve debranded my vodafone version to DBT
Hi,
My brother has bought a S7 edge AT&T model for me from USA which was rooted. I am not able to update the firmware to nougat as it was unlocked and cannot be updated in India using the local carrier. I wanted a small bit of help. I am planning to update the firmware for the first time ever on any handset, hence I am completely unaware of the process. Though I can see the guide, but I have the following questions if anyone can answer
Which is the best firmware to be used in India (would be helpful if you can provide with the thread link for the firmware)
Does it harm the mobile in any manner like lower battery life?
Is it difficult to update the firmware? What are the chances of me bricking it?
It seems that the original firmware has changed and the Samsung Pay is not working. How would I know if this is because the knox is tripped? I downloaded the Knox Status app and it shows warranty is valid, does this mean knox is not tripped? If so, I would like to update the firmware which would not trip the knox.
How does the back up work? Do I have to reinstall all the applications after firmware update?
My reason of updating the firmware is only have the latest features on the original firmware. Not for any specific modified features that I am looking out for.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Chandrahas Sampat

clean flash i would recommend restore apps via smart switch or any 3rd party apps
So yesterday I updated from Nougat (not rooted) to Oreo. After I updated I had some issues with my SIM. Basically most of the time I get "Out of service/Not registered in the Network". The SIM is working fine in other Phones. Already tried a reformat (with Stock Recovery) did not help.
So can I just use Odin v3.12 and the S8 Nougat files and flash them?
Will it brick If I do it?
The Oreo Firmware (and my phone) has no carrier. (DBT, Germany)
Same goes for the Nougat Firmware.
Thanks

- SM-G950F
- Exynos variant

Hi, in this case the Knox is altered? I was reading something about the new Oreo bootloader that would not allow the downgrade. Thank you and sorry for my English!

Are the firmwares for G955F and G955FD the same?
My friend has the FD version with G955FXXU1CRB7 - CSC ILO (ISRAEL), but I can't find G955FXXU1AQK7 for the FD version for CSC ILO.
Can I use the firmware for the F variant with Odin?
He is having terrible battery issues with Oreo, wiped data using stock recovery but it won't help.
Downgrade from CRAP (8.0) to AQL5 (7.0) and now I have a DRK error and it automatically starts the recovery, some help?
You can't downgrade via odin. You can only flash the same firmware or higher.
