1- The phone’s Default primary keyboard language is in chinese , and i am unable to remove or delete it , so i need an Default primary keyboard language to be in English prefered ( very important for me) at least and i never use and need chinese language support , but i just confused (please see the attached picture) , which one do i need to select ?? , i prefer the latest dates as updated as “2015-03-01” but pure english language support is more important for me
2- Many of advice New Zealand rom (for english support) but what about Baseband (PDA and CSC) ?? can i use any country of ROM ?? i live in Cyprus , does Baseband or country code affect the phone modem working as better or worst ??
3- What about others ?? like Taiwan and Panama roms ?? are they also chinese like Honkong or they are English only as well like New Zealand ?? because they seems as more updated like “2015-03-01” if so , can i use them instead of New Zealand ??
4- My phone Signal drops frequently as dramatically (2G/3G) , and lots of time it is continuously switching betwen H and H+ and signal bars frequently drops from full to one or two line on even when my mote 4 standing on my desk (my previous Note 2 or S3 never droped like that, and also my GSM operator has no coverage issiues) , so are there any modem firm that i can update ?? (for U series only) or other country code (for U series only) Roms like New Zealand , Panama or Taiwan can also change the modem firm automatically from Honkong as well during the flashing process ??
So , following the above conditions and by checking the attached picture, please help and advise me an updated best official working ROM for my SM-N910U , thanks for helps

I'm not sure, But I always used to go with BTU or DBT (UK/Germany) Roms, as in earlier Galaxy S (i9000) days, These CSC used to have all apps available in Playstore rather than the rest. Still I go with these CSC.
DBT will come with some bloatware which you can remove easily with root.

1) You need to select Samsung Keyboard as your primary keyboard and set the English as the primary language.
2) You can flash any ROMs made for your specific model number SM-N910U. Flashing other country's roms are not going to affect your phone in any way.
3) From my experience, Taiwan releases updates for their Samsung flagship devices every 2-3 months. This is faster than average release of updates.
4) Signal drop is a known issue for the SM-N910U regardless of what ROM or Modem you are running. SM-N910U is equipped with Intel XMM 7260 LTE modem and Intel has not fully integrated its kernel and drivers for the device. I personally own two SM-N910U models, one for Taiwan and one for New Zealand. They both experience signal drops.

I would also like to add that spamming the forum will not get you the answer faster. There are other people that has the same urgency to get responses and put rest to their questions. Just keep that in mind please.

Dear friend ,
Thanks for your helpfull answer but , i still some confused , so what i understand your answers is that , signal problem is a comon on U series , thats ok , and you mean , flashing different countries does not affect to modem firmware ?? is that correct ? , if so we will just wait a good working kernel and firmware for the intel modem, later?? and my second problem is that , (please see the attached picture as well) when i first setup the note 4 , or if i factory reset the note 4 the default language is chinese and it is untickable or unmovable (like in the picture attached) , but then you can add english later , but i dont want to be the primary language chinese , i want only in english (primary default) and if possible then turkish (secondary add on language) , so the taiwan rom is like HK. rom ?? (like first language chinese and unmovable) or the primary language is in english ?? , if not so , what about the other Roms ?? , or may i switch to New Zealand rom ?? ( i am just asking it for only about primary default language, updates my second preference but , i want to switch the updated english one , not chinese )
thanks again

Flashing different country's roms are not going to fix the ungoing issue of signal disconnecting. We'll need to wait until a new update is released.
Chinese IME is not removable, but your default keyboard is Samsung Keyboard, which means the Chinese IME is disabled. You can click the Samsung keyboard settings to change your input language.
Taiwan rom is 99% similar to Hong Kong version. The HK version has a newer baseband, but the rom content is the same. If you switch your rom to NZ version, you will have English as your default language and the Chinese IME will not be installed on your device.

Or you could flash THIS if you want the latest firmware with lots of features
You can also install a third party keyboard like THIS
In short and what has already been said; you can use any other firmware for the N910U from any region without issue. Only thing is some have chinese writing and others don't. It sounds like you don't want it so you should be fine.
Newer firmware has newer modem and it may be better for your region. I haven't had any signal issues with my N910U and I'm from Australia where this version isn't sold (we have N910G).

Official Brazilian GT-I9300 owners thread

Following the trends, here's an official thread for all Brazilian owners of the GT-I9300, aka Galaxy S III.
Just start, here's a pointer to download the official Brazilian ROMs using CheckFus downloader.
All ROMs provided by Samsung can be downloaded with CheckFus (http://fus.nanzen.se/), but the list presented by CheckFus doesn't include all of them.
The first thing you need to know are the CSC codes of the 4 operators Samsung works with in Brazil:
ZTA = Claro
ZTM = Tim
ZTV = Oi
ZVV = Vivo
ZTO = (none, unbranded, open)
CheckFus presents only ZTV, ZTM and ZTO, but any of them can be downloaded, following the procedures below, replacing <CSC code> with the 3-letter code above and no spaces before or after.
- Open CheckFus and in the firmware info pane, input the following:
Product code: GT-I9300MBD<CSC code>
PDA: I9300UBALE6
CSC: I9300<CSC code>ALE6
Phone: I9300UBLE6
Then click on "Check Firmware". If all data is corrent, it should look like this (using Claro - ZTA - as an example):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click on Download and the original firmware should be downloaded to your PC. You can restore it to your phone - for warranty reasons, for example - using Odin3 or MobileOdin.
If the ROM is not found, instead of ALE6, try using ALE7 (as in ZTO) in the CSC.
Nice idea! Let's try to exchange some information about the phone and brazilian ROMs and softwares.
I have one question: Is the Brazilian GT-9300 based on the International Version or in the US version? Does it have the S4 or Equinox ?
I'm worried about using these ROMs with the wrong hardware.
Regards!
Thanks Simonetti,
I tried to do step by step to download the version "ZTO" but could not.
The only way I could get was with everything blank and select the device model.
Then it auto-filled fields with data
Product code: GT-I9300MBDZTO
PDA: I9300UBALE6
CSC: I9300ZTOALE7
Phone: I9300UBLE6
Dandare
Our model GT-I9300 is based on international model that only has access to HSDPA+, the model that comes with the Snapdragon processor S4 is the only one with access to LTE.
I believe this area of ​​the forum is dedicated only to the international model, US-based models have other areas of the forum.
Doubt about firmware differences
What is the difference between CSC: I9300ZTOALE7 and CSC: I9300ZTAALE6?
I know the first is unbranded and the second belongs to Claro.
But the final ALE7 means that there are any improvements in the unbranded?

Usually (there are a few exceptions to the rule) yes: ALE7 is newer than ALE6.
But what really dictates the freshness of a build is the changelist number. while European versions are in the low 700K changelist, Brazilian ROMS are in the 500K range. The higher, the better.
Want to change my ROM to a more recently
Hi,
Where I can find the changelist number?
Can I install an European version in my GT-I9300 from Claro using Odin?
Do I need to root the phone?
Thanks
Does the Brazilian SGS3 has "S-Voice"? While I'm still happy with my S2 at least until Sammy release the SGS4, my brother just got a S3 from Oi (at first sight, it seems that it's unbranded), and it seems that there's S-Suggest, S-Notes, S-Planning (or whatever Sammy is now calling the calendar app), but no S-Voice... Would he need an European firmware in order to have the most commented novelty on his brand new Samsung flagship phone? It seems that S-Voice doesn't support Portuguese yet, even though Google voice search accuracy in Portuguese has improved dramatically in the last few months.

I've read a full review yesterday on the S3 (I don't remember where exactly, but I remember there was a link to it on UOL's technology section) that said that S-Voice was not installed in the brazilian S3 due to the fact that it doesn't support PT-BR yet (but, according to some high-level source on Samsung Brasil, it would be available eventually - I personally doubt it).
The review said, however, that one could actually download it from Samsung Apps - you have to manually search for it on the "Top Apps" area though, as it will not show up on the search area... Your brother could give it a try, but it will only talk to him in one of the supported languages (and by talk to it, I mean very clearly, almost fluently, just like in S2's VoiceTalk app).
Best regards, mate... It's good to see I'm not the only one fully satisfied with my S2 to the point of delaying its replacement (maybe for a future S4, whenever its released).

Cheers mate, that's very helpful indeed. I'll advise him to download "S-Voice" from Samsung Apps and use it in English. I'm very keen to see by myself how better it is compared to VLingo's "Voice Talk" shipped with the S2.

That is not true.
My S3 was bought from Claro, in Belo Horizonte, and it did come with all the S-apps, including S-Voice (which is, basically, Vlingo rebranded).
It doesn't matter anyway, because the application sucks. S-Voice is an over-rated bloatware that got uninstalled as soon as I rooted the S3.
One of the best features of the S2 was its ability to sync notes from Exchange, and that was removed in the S3. The S-Memo app (that replaced Notes) does NOT sync with Exchange.
Not many people here use their S2/3 for accessing corporate Exchange accounts, but for those who do, synching notes was a very useful feature that will be missed.

Yes, and you should, because all the European ROMs are a lot newer than the crappy Brazilian ROMs. If using Odin, you don't need root. You need root if you will be using MobileODIN.
I am in Belo Horizonte, and my S3 is featuring the German ROM (DBT), that is the newest there is. It works great and - regarding wi-fi networking and stability - it is a lot better than previous versions.
I used the original Brazilian version for 2 days tops. With it my S3 kept disconnecting from my home wi-fi network all the time (WPA2-PSK CCMP TKIP). With the German ROM it stays connected all the time.
I have made a post in the original ROMs teaching people how to download the German ROM using CheckFusDownloader through command line.
New ZTO ROM
Hi,
I´ve installed yesterday the Brazil unbranded version PDA: I9300UBALE6 and CSC: I9300ZTOALE7.
Today in the morning I was suprised by a message of new firmware update by FOTA.
When I finalized the update I got:
AP: I9300UBALF3
CP: I9300UBLF2
CSC: I9300ZTOALF1
When I installed the ZTO I lose all the Claro customizations what seems great.
But with this new firmware I´m getting poor 2G/3G reception.
Can I just upgrade my modem to another version? What is the best option for Claro carrier, I live in the Sao Paulo state.
The German ROM that you are using has portuguese as a language to choose?
THank you.

I've had mine for a week, bought it straight from Samsung in my country, has 1 year warranty and was able to hand pick my phone and the color I wanted. Rooted it the first day and today there is an update (LE6). The only issue I have is that when I ask S-Voice for the weather it gives me the results of somewhere in Russia, lol. but I'm pretty happy with my mobile, even tho it has "the crappy camera" some people are whining.

Read my first post in this thread (the very first post). It will teach you how to download ANY official ROM you want.
If you want to download using the CheckFUS downloader command like utility, just follow this this:

You should never accept OTA upgrades if you're rooted. It will obviously overwrite your system partition, thus making you lose su.
You have to undergo the whol rooting process again.

[q] please help to identify sm-n910u fake or not ??

Hi All ,
Me and my wife just bought 2 brand new and never opened box from a 2 different company , my wife unit is an SM-N910H WHITE and mine is N910U BLACK , that which i bought it 1 week later then her ( I just prefer to buy a 4G LTE version , so i bought it from other company and both company is on Cyprus) , so after when i first open the box and start the inspecting the unit (SM-N910U) my note 4 feels me a fake Note4 like , and i am still suspecting that my Note 4 is not genuie (please see the pictures that i attached ,that why it makes to feel me like that), but however the phone INFO samsung says that it is original, and also my ANTUTU score is about 51300 , and please note that my s-pen is working with buttons and pointer, but i am not sure about that , so , please SM-N910U users help me to identify that my unit is original or Fake (please check my all the pictures that i have attached , see my box type , see the battery and back side of the phone and plese verify that , yours SM-N910U are just same or not , i have also searched and checked the google images and youtube videos for trying to found same box info or back side for only SM-N910U series but found out nothing ) and beside i have a few general questions about SM-N910U series as well at the following
1) when i first run my SM-N910U to set up it , it starts with chinese language and a chinese keyboard by default , so , i had switched the language and keyboard to english as well, but the keyboard is there in chinese by default and i am unable to un-tick or remove it (because i never use chinese and it is affecting my sms , handwriting , and s-voice usage style ) , is there any way to remove the chinise language support or keyboard with or without rooting ?? with stock rom as well ?? or if i just flash an other country coded firmware (not hong Kong)with the other modem firmware for the SM-N910U series from sammobile , can it be an international english version with 4G support or not ?? is it possible ??
2) on a some of other forums that i am just checking instractions for rooting my SM-N910U, i have read that, the chinese SM-N910U models (which is i thought mine it is ) is not capable with 4G/LTE and it is not fully compatible with 4G/LTE but, my band shows that and selected that "LTE/WCDMA/GSM(auto connect)" is it True or not ??
3) I just rooted my SM-N910U and i think i void my warranty (KNOX 0X1) , is there a way to reset this counter to 0x0 ?? or if i just fully uninstall root from Super su on menu -settings , my SM-N910U counter will be again to 0x0 or not ??
PLEASE NOTE THAT: I DONT THINK TO USE THE SWEET ROM FOR NOW , AND WILL CONTINUE AS STOCK A FEW WHILE
THANKS FOR YOUR HELPS

IMO. It is real note 4.
Go back to factory and try to do update. If it's real the phone will update.
its real.
1. no you need to flash a NZ ROM to get rid of chinese input. you cannot flash anything other than a 910u rom.
2. yes 910u supports LTE on some bands.
3. no you cannot reset warranty counter and you have destroyed knox security on the device permanently.

Thanks for your best answer can i also use the NZ modem firmware with the ROM as well ? , or i should not change the modem firm ??

so i heared an program some about called that "triangle" or something like that to reset the counter , so doese'nt it applicable ??
IMO. fake note 4 usually contain 720p HD display. The real contain Quad HD.
The different in this case is easily noticeable, especially somebody with real Quad HD display side by side.
Then if you doesn't state about it screen. I think it is positively sign.
I just checked my U and it looks the same as yours. Mine is real, so I think your safe. Time to relax.
no triangleaway cant reset it. mine is the same as yours and its real.
you cannot reset knox counter without buying a new phone.
Dear all friends , I want to say thank you for all (each by each ) that who just helped me about my questions and validate that my SM-N910U h.k version as a GENUINE and now i also agreed and make sure that this model (SM-N910U h.k ) is also an original Note 4 so, the case is closed for me , Those users that who have just the exactly same series of Note 4 , and who they could not find any info or pictures for verify it ,and also whose them is not sure that SM-N910U h.k is orjinal or not (like me ) can check the comments whose helped me and the pictures that i attached , so if all same with yours now you can make sure that its GENUINE SM-N910U h.k , lol i also verify that , and finally if the moderator wish to lock the thread he/She can lock it and can change Thread name as SOLVED thanks for all again
also one more last question to zurkx about flash a NZ ROM , even i asked it about my #5 post but i think Zurkx did not saw it ( thats my mistake sorry ) , i had asked that if can i also use the NZ modem firmware with the ROM as well ? , or i should not change the modem firm ??
Just connect to pc and open Kies if it reckons it then it's real. Easiest way

yes the modem is the same on all the same models of the phone. so a 910U should have an intel modem (check it before flashing) which should be the same as the NZ intel LTE modem.
Well mine says camera 15.9 MP
So i went to some pages and found the same thing in all original note 4 but in those note 4 fake it says 12 MP.
Device you have made in china but you're using turkish sim card but you said you buy devices from cyprus.

Dear 1980Aksoy , Due to your Nick name, I am guessing that , you are an Turkish Member as well like me but i did not excatly understand that what you mean , but i am assumming that you are from Turkey , and i am from Cyprus , and Cyprus is not belong only to greek cypriots , so i am a turkish cypriot member, so thats why i am using Turkish Sim Card and the operator name is KKTCELL (it is an GSM operator partner of TURKCELL which is at TURKEY) , anyway if you read my #1 post you will understand why i prefered the SM-N910U model , but before i had an SM-N910H that which is the back side product label of the unit was different with the U model (as shown at the pictures) , so i know that the U model was an HK product , but i did not expected a different information label and a simple label (that feels not genuie) like , made by samsung with some chinese letters before i just unbox the unit after i just bought .
However the marketter are here too canny that they sell SM-910H (as an 3G variant) about 1800 TL , and they sell SM-910F (as an 4G variant) about 2300 TL , but even i dont prefer to buy an 4G or LTE version before because of the quad core (snapdragon variant) but after i search some info at google and forums , i found that some of eight cores (Exynos variants) variant work as an LTE as well (like SM-N910U, SM-N910C or SM-N910CQ (which is currently wide on Turkey) , and unfortunately it is hard to find SM-N910U and SM-N910C or SM-N910CQ units on Cyprus , and when i found 1 unit (SM-N910U) i bought it as an 3g price at 1800 TL from the seller ( because some of belives that all the Exynos variant does not support LTE) but this supports , so if the seller was made sure that this SM-N910U unit supports LTE , she would try to sell it to me as 2300 TL as an 4G unit

Hi All ,
Me and my wife just bought 2 brand new and never opened box from a 2 different company , my wife unit is an SM-N910H WHITE and mine is N910U BLACK , that which i bought it 1 week later then her ( I just prefer to buy a 4G LTE version , so i bought it from other company and both company is on Cyprus) , so after when i first open the box and start the inspecting the unit (SM-N910U) my note 4 feels me a fake Note4 like , and i am still suspecting that my Note 4 is not genuie (please see the pictures that i attached ,that why it makes to feel me like that), but however the phone INFO samsung says that it is original, and also my ANTUTU score is about 51300 , and please note that my s-pen is working with buttons and pointer, but i am not sure about that , so , please SM-N910U users help me to identify that my unit is original or Fake (please check my all the pictures that i have attached , see my box type , see the battery and back side of the phone and plese verify that , yours SM-N910U are just same or not , i have also searched and checked the google images and youtube videos for trying to found same box info or back side for only SM-N910U series but found out nothing ) and beside i have a few general questions about SM-N910U series as well at the following

From what I can tell the main board is real because you have gotten OTA updates plus all the graphics look right. But I think the housing is a cheap aftermarket (look at the overspray of the black paint around the back edges), so it could possibly be a factory refurb. To answer your question about the N910F/N910U marking, since the base madel if N910F you will see the "F" even on "U" units, perfectly normal.
Sleep well!

[Q] SM-N9008 to a SM-N9005

Hi, I live in China but am not Chinese and have inherited a 14mth old Note3 SM-N9008 from my wife, who is Chinese. Just wanted to clarify this point as a lot of other posters with an SM-N9008 have been shot down for having one instead of getting a model relative to where they live
OK, with that out of the way, I have no issues with voiding the warranty as it's gone anyway (14 mth old).
My key question is after reading the "how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones" (sorry cannot include the offsite link being new here) topic, and perhaps my understanding is wrong and so please correct me if I am, if I change the PDA, PHONE and CSC codes to match correctly to another locale NOT China (eg UK), then I am a) basically changing my 9008 to a 9005 in principle & b) my 9008 will accept ROM's for a 9005 and work fine.
Or is this 'trick' of manipulating these codes to give a new locale only for the purpose of if you have a 9005 in Chile which has not uploaded a new Stock ROM but say Spain has, I make my 9005 look like it is now from Spain and will therefore be able to get the new 9005 Stock ROM?
I have only ever rooted and applied another Stock ROM to one other mobile device before, about 2 years or more ago, which was a Chinese model of the Note 10.1 and it's worked perfectly fine in all that time on the Intl Stock ROM - except for updates online which I don't do (I do manual app updates where required) because the updates give me the Chinese version due to the CSC etc not being changed and so thinking I am Chinese.
Has anyone tried this before at all? Changing the PDA, PHONE and CSC codes from one model to anothers so as to have access to other Stock ROM's in your preferred language and without the locale's bloatware, as well as being able to have appz like Intl google play etc (which cannot be included in any 9008 Stock ROM)?
I've looked at detailed specs for both the 9008 and the 9005 models and they seem exactly the same, just the PDA, PHONE and CSC codes make each different.
If anyone has, please can they help tell me the process steps I need to follow (such as do I root 1st and then change the codes, or change the codes 1st and then root?
I do hope someone can give me some positive feedback please. Thanks in anticipation for any help you can offer me.

Mr @Shozaf.shah yes search and ask to your developers and teachers if u get any solution so please inform me
cuz the keyboard you are looking at is from the states. Ours is made for china/english its a different keyboard vs stock american english. You need to install a different keyboard from playstore. That's just how it is.

I know i can download diffrent keyboards from play store currenty im using Xperia keyboard.apk Gboard.apk Swypkey.apk and many differents i can download, but u know what am i talking about i have rooted phone now what was the benefit of what i rooted my phone..? I can't even Change and replace now the Stock keyboard what u talked about stock China vs Stock America, i saw many Posts many videos about to replace the system keyboard, As a S6 Keyboard S7 keyboard in any Samsung phones by Root Explorer but when i did this its not worked, the Msg comes up The Samsung keyboard unfortunately has been Stopped u tell me some solution if we have rooted phones so we can easily changing in our phone system setting and this is a minor matter for u @travis82 because you are a developer and also @criszz @abuawaahed also a developer @AL_IRAQI @sriszone
And also when i go to the play store its also sayd
You are having issues cuz you might need a deodex rom or deodexed keyboard. The stock keyboards come with more than just an apk they usually tie in to framework and have seperate files on the partition for the samsung ime. I would need to make a new rom and test keyboards to make sure it does not crash the system. There isnt an easy solution its not a copy paste job like you assume it is.
Maybe try an aosp keyboard here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/linea...oid-keyboard-aosp-7-1-2-android-apk-download/
Samsung Keyboard here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...-keyboard/samsung-keyboard-2-1-01-40-release/
Also just to change the keyboard there was absolutely no need for root to achieve this.
So I wil let the other "devs"... help you through this and I will work more on my kernel and LineageOS little by little. Good luck to you.
ps.. did you try hitting the face on the top next to the mic for emoji?

Yes you can; read, search, test. Don't give up. Personaly i don't undestend what you trying to do and how you do it. My 2 cents. Find a deodex rom from samsung marshmallow, unpack keyboard, copy to your system priv-app, set permision and that is.

your mobile is real or twrp would not boot. stop being a drama queen over a damn keyboard jesus christ. China/HK regions keyboards have always been like this even my Note 4, S5 Duos, S7 Edge, C9. THIS IS NORMAL for all China HK mobiles here cuz WE TYPE CHINESE TOO. I told you before, do your friends have C9 no its a different mobile. This is the common keyboard pre-installed on all samsung hk/china region devices. If you think its a fake ill buy it off ya so my son can upgrade his LG G4 with it. Then you can buy a ****ty variant from your region.
If this has to be explained one more time you will go on my ignore list.

replace Korean Samsung S8 (SM-G950N) stock ROM with another one from Spain.

Hi All,
Please excuse me in case this was already adressed in other post.
Case: I bought in South Korea a brand new Samsung Galaxy S8 (SM-G950N) Exynos version. Im very happy with the phone but there are a few diferences between this one and the spanish version of the phone. For example, since in Korea apparently is not legal to silence the shutter of the camera there is no option in the phone to remove this sound. Other things are for example the apps that by default are installed in the phone. In my case the carrier is KT and I have a ton of apps that I cannot use or Im not interested.
Questions:
Q1.- Is there a possibility to install the samsung stock rom for the S8 clean (from Spain for example) and get rid of all this crap and at the same time maintain all warranty and Updates as any other "not modified" phone?
Q2.- Will the software change once i insert the SIM car from my spanish carrier showing me option available in the S8 spanish software version that i cannot see now from the Korean version?
Q3.- can I use a baseband from any other carrier and if not is there compatible basebands with my phone?
any help will be much appreciated.
thanks in advance.

I have a Korean phone (g950N) and have done everything that you want to it EXCEPT my warranty is void. Initially, I rooted the phone and flashed a different stock ROM. Since then, I've flashed a custom ROM (Renovate-ice) as it gives me far more options and flexibility. During the installation, you can choose the country you want and it will add all the relevant software and frequencies etc.

AFAIK you will not get to the result you want, as long as you don't want to void your warranty (knox 0x1).
Flashing a g950F Firmware on a g950N device will lead to a not booting phone.
So:

Also, no. Your CSC won't change when inserting a different SIM.
As to the third question, I can't answer.
But if you would be willing to void your warranty, you of course can change the csc to a spain one, get all the spain carrier bloatware and can deactivate the shutter sound.
voLTE ISSUE
I am facing a similar problem.
i bought a galaxy s8 (SM-G950n) from south korea. But here, in india, i can't use voLTE. i can use LTE and other band at ease except voLTE. Then googled and found that indian csc code installation may help. But the problem is that the phone i have is single sim and the indian model has dual sim. If i flash the indian stock rom will it brick? If it bricks i can't gp back to south korea to resolve that. i contacted the korean samsung service but their help didn't work.
Give me a strong solution.
