Which build of Android 6.0.1 should I put on UK unlocked S5/G900F?

I have an unlocked UK Galaxy S5/G900F.
Which of the following should I install? [screenshots attached]
Or should I wait?

This one is stock G900F 6.0.1, with BTU CSC added
Code:
https://mega.nz/#!SMRlERrY!oeOX8W_4tbQbArTN-LzTKWJ1xi_8LLrN_ZoSg-Dzs1Q
Will trip KNOX if you haven't already
Otherwise probably best to flash the UK Vodafone one and debloat / remove branding

Because it's modded to have BTU (United Kingdom) CSC (Samsung haven't released 6.0.1 BTU for the G900F yet)
It was a different region that is on SM, can't remember which one it was now
I'm running it on my G900F, best ROM to date

Flash zip via twrp?

No and No
ODIN and then you need to reflash TWRP and then SuperSU from TWRP
It's a stock ROM

Downgrading SM-910F from marshmallow to lollipop

Hi guz,
I want to downgrade my NOTE 4 from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. I googled it and did show one of the thread on this forum using ODIN method for that. My problem is to find the correct firmware version for note 4.
My device info is given below
Model Number: SM-N910F
Baseband version: N910FXXU1DPB1
Build Number: MMB29M.N910FXXU1DPE1
Please help me on finding the correct firmware or suggest me on identifying the possible versions.
Thank you.

Go to sammobile and find the last released 5.1.1 firmware for your device.

Thank you for reply.
I have already checked sammobile, I did found some 5.1.1 firmware for note 4, my problem is I couldn't find any for my build. so my question is can I use any other similer version, if so what version?. Please be specific.
Thank you.

Use any unbranded firmware mate, UK for example. By unbranded I mean try those which don't come with any carrier labelling, you know like O2 etc.

I have downloaded the following build
Code:
Model: SM-N910F
Country: United Kingdom (EE)
Version: Android 5.1.1
Product code: EVR
PDA: N910FXXU1COI3
CSC: N910FEVR1COJ1
Will this work, mate?

Yes, unless EE is a carrier name it should be unbranded.

Installing the EE firmware will also install EE's own remote phone locking software in the persdata partition (Which is a real pain to remove as it will keep coming back even if you flash a non EE firmware) as well as EE's bloatware.
Use the BTU firmware for a clean unbranded phone.

Thank you for the valuable insight. Its a good thing since I have delayed the downgrade.

Flash an official firmware from a different region?

Hello,
I own a galaxy S5 SM-G900F running a the stock 6.0.1 with security patch from 1 april 2017 (build version G900FXXS1CQD2)
AP: G900FXXS1CQD2
CP: G900FXXS1CQD2
CSC: G900FNEE1CQB9 (NEE means this is the Findland region)
I would like to install the latest firmware version (build version G900FXXS1CQH1) but this is a version for the Netherlands region (NTL). It also includes a more recent security patch from 1 August 2017.
My questions:
Can I flash with Odin, the build version G900FXXS1CQH1 which is a different region ?
Will I lose all the settings? (According to my readings, flashing an official firmware with Odin does not erase the data, this is like an OTA update)
Does it include the French language?
Thank you in advance
Philippe

Yes you can flash firmwares from any region. You also won't lose any data after flashing it. French language is included too. Hope it helps.

If your s8+ csc is ZTO (Brazil), i think it will probably be okay since it's included in the OXM multi-csc.

What is the procedure for manual installation? I have not root, not twrp. thanks. My current version is G955FXXS4CRLB

My CSC is EVR (EE UK). Can I flash this using "home csc" without wiping the phone? What CSC will I have if I do this? (I'd prefer to be on DBT because it usually gets faster updates and I don't have time to wipe my phone now).

I have added the guide for ROM installation now.

Any feedback yet ? Is it worth to flash ?
As I had read, on Pie there are a lot of functions from Oreo were removed.
Is there on Pie surround shot for VR in camera app ?
Is root or debloat possible ? In beta versions there was a problem rooting and removing bloatware.

You will probably end up with BTU since EVR is not included in multi-csc and wipe.

Can anyone please make flashable zip for stock recovery? Currently got no access to pc.. Thanks in advance
