I am starting this thread for the G920I model of the S6. Codenamed "Zerofltedv".
Where is G920I Available?
- Singapore
- India
- Australia
- USA
- Latin American countries
- North America
The S6 comes with regional locks for particular countries, And need to be activated with a sim specific for that region.
What is this thread about?
- For discussion.
- Online and local availability.
- Isssue discussion.
- Custom ROM development specific for this variant.
- Pricing
- Accessories
Curious to see which country with the G920I model gets updates first so I can flash that region's firmware in Odin. Australia will obviously be last as usual so I'm keen to get off this firmware ASAP and get onto one that doesn't block auto-rotate in the Gallery app

I got my device today, and there was already an update ready to be installed. BTW just checked my gallery app and it does rotate.

Interesting, are you on Indian firmware?
And regarding the auto rotate, it's been an issue on Samsung phones in Australia for years due to some lawsuit with Apple.

Can you advise your software details as the Australian variant hasn't had an update and I'd be interested to see the difference in software.
I wonder if the Edge has had an update as well?

No details on the changes, but it looks like Indian firmware has a build date of 31 March while everyone else is still the 7th of March.

They have'nt specified anything specific to be non functional, so it will work on all 4G networks.

Yes, I am on the Indian firmware, which came right out of the box, got a small update yesterday thou. If our models are G920I then we should be able to flash any firmware for the same. My question is what is up with the regional locks? will that be a problem?
IS anyone here having the flash always on problem? mine is very dimly lit if you see it in the dark. very very dim, I have to try hard to observe it. Is it a major issue? are your devices doing the same?
am on a singapore version and i dont have the flash always on problem. battery life sucks though, coming from a OPO.

It's because of the crappy samsung apps running in the background .. Knox and ****. My flash is not that lit that it is noticeable... I have to look really hard. Very hard to see.. But it is glowing.. The technology must be this way I think

Apparently it is not a normal feature and samsung has been made aware of this issue and they are working on it. Saw this today on the xda channel.
Whew, just got this today.
Are there any custom ROMs for the S6 that are in development?

Hello everyone,
I just got a new Galaxy S3 from China today, but it came with many preloaded chinese apps. It is not really branded, only preloaded with several things. I tried restoring phone from configurations, but the applications didn't dissapear.
I would like to flash a clean international versin with no added chinese things. Could you please point me to the right direction?
This is my first Android phone, but I had a Tablet before which I flashed a couple times, so I'm not a complete noob.
Thanks a lot in advance!!!
Cheers,
C.S.
You might go to I9300 International for better specific help over there :good:
Your probably the only one on this forum with one so I don't think anyone knows if any ROMs are compatible with it.. But the root method may still be the same so you can try rooting it and than installing Root explorer (paid) or ES File Explorer (free) to remove them from system/app or just get Titanium Backup (paid) after rooting and remove them that way (best option IMO)
So just head over to the international forums and read their easiest root method.
Best of luck, be careful, those things aren't covered under any warranty if you brick it huh :what:

Hmm pretty much the only info about its build you could compare to others would be under Settings > About device, screenshot that and post it up over on the international forums and ask them if it resembles theirs in any way. Personally I'm pretty positive the ROMs won't be directly compatible and definitely wouldn't flash any of them, but if I personally can't use an Android phone without root so I'd personally try the root method and pray to god my phone booted afterward lol
Tough situation man, curious as to how it goes for you so post back if you try !

Some people can only afford what they can afford man. No point in discouraging what they buy. Obviously OP knew it was a knockoff before buying.

I would personally try to flash a standard i9300 ROM onto it. Then you wouldn't have to worry about any sketchy apps that have been added.
There's no guarantee it will work, but if it really is a legit i9300 (which it seems to be), I would imagine the standard international ROM would work on it.

No more waiting, guys! It is here. :laugh:
Firmware versions for Italy, Switzerland, Luxemburg AND UNITED ARAB EMIRATES released! More to come. Stay it touch: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P905
Interesting. On the Note 3 Italy was the first EU region country to receive 5.0, and now again on the NotePro....
Oh well. I'll wait for a while if you don't mind, too many problems with Lollipop on the Note 3 for my taste. (Same hardware.)
Well Spotted!
This is excellent news, thanks for finding it! The lack of any sort of communication on this from Samsung has been disappointing to say the least. The latest version of Touchwiz is miles better, I've really been looking forward to seeing it on the Note Pro.
Hope the P900 also receive the LP update in next few days

Great news but I'll also wait since lollipop on my note 3 was horrible. Didn't work at all with my pebble so that I went back to 4.4.

The same problems that plague Lollipop everywhere. Bluetooth connectivity issues, WiFi connectivity issues, memory leaks, errors on Contacts and Camera, Deamon battery leaks...
I haven't updated my Note 3 yet. (Erm, since Februari 2014. NB7 works flawlessly, I'm keeping it.) But I handle all Samsung-related claims for one of the largest providers, and Lollipop sings the same tune on all devices.
Add to that the inherit issues known to these devices, such as screen flickering, reboots, bluescreens, and I'm a little hesitant to mess with the firmware. Seeing as how mine hasn't shown any of those issues, which seems to be a rarity here on these boards.

And that's because you have good quality international devices (P905 / P9005).
I haven't got any problems with my devices, even though both are rooted, debloated by frozing apps and got Xposed Framework with many modules.
Oh yeah, and I did root them both with Towelroot so Knox Warranty is 0x0 and I am also keeping them running KitKat (mostly because Lollipop got too much white colors, and I don't like that).
@ShadowLea, if there is anything you need root for, go for it!
Sorry for shooting off-topic so bad
Having had a number of Samsung devices I'd advise to never upgrade the firmware because they always wreck it and it's not like you can easily go back without tripping knox or whatever. 4.4.2 is doing the job nicely for me and like ShadowLea my Note pro has exhibited no problems other than the less responsive screen whilst charging but that'sa known issue on loads of Samsung devices (and others).
I hope it'll be available for P900 soon too
I'll wait. Pretty sure that lots of shortcuts (e.g. pulling down the notification bar etc.) won't work anymore on Lolliflop.

Something similar has been done, but you need to exclude the bootloader and modem files, and do so at your own risk. See posts 5,6,7,and 8 of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p905-update-to-4-4-2-p905xxuaob1-mar-t3066259

I updated this new firmware using Odin. I was tired of waiting.
The only other phones I've had are the Samsung Vibrant & Note II and I'm kind of hoping you guys can clear this up for me.
What is the difference between the different "G920I" versions. I understand the difference between the G920 variants (I/T/V/etc..) made for specific carriers/regions but I don't understand what the different variants of the G920I mean (which have different build numbers).
I am looking here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G920I/
Can any of these firmwares be flashed on any G920I version? I thought the G920I version would be the same internationally but I'm not sure why some devices are being updates and others are not...can someone clarify?
Thanks.

Just the icon most likely. EU roms show 4g instead of LTE.
The update brings up a new feature "rich communication", also installed Samsung gear app.... Other than that I'm still looking out for new stuff.
Just want to let you guys know that today, Sony has uploaded the official firmware for the USA version for the E6603 device. It's version 32.0.A.6.209 with a region tag of R4B. It's listed as Customized US (unbranded). This is the first time the firmware is released for a non dual Z5 device. The CDA is 1300-4290.
I'm guessing this firmware is still lollipop and not marshmallow, right?
Quick question, if I switch firmwares, would I lose my DRM keys? I have locked bootloader still and don't want to lose them. I do want to switch firmwares to US or Canada so I have a local baseband. The signal is not the best and I'm pretty sure switching firmwares will definitely help with that.
You only lose DRM keys when you unlock bootloader.

Offcourse there's noise when zooming, that's the way digital zoom works.
If you take two pictures in a tripod stand, one zoomed and one not zoomed you can cut the not zoomed image to the same size and have two exact same images. Digital zoom is worthless, it is the exact same thing as zooming in on a pic in the gallery.

lolol, does that mean the US devices only have it disabled in software? Seems likely, I didn't think they'd start a new production line just to remove the fingerprint reader.

See, the signal was why I was looking forward to this being released but I won't trade fingerprint for better signal :/
Honestly the signal was just the same.

You need someone who got the phone to try flashing the phone with other firmware,that way you know forsure if they removed the hardware.
I think when on 8th of February someane buys officiall US variant, and if Fingerprint doesnt work, someone will just try to flash other versions, for example CE1 or other, to see if it'll work. Might be.

Just updated feels smoother somewhat.
Battery life is much better...
We were all waiting for the new update to come but Once more Samsung has manage to destroy some things
One of them is screen auto light adjustment... At least at Exynos AQG5 version
Before the update you could just adjust the bar wherever you like and then with one off - on to auto switch you have return to full auto light adjustment...
Now this is impossible
With auto on if you move the bar this setting is saved like the ideal auto lighting condition and stays that way...that means that auto lighting is working good but from the base of your previous adjustment and not full stock auto.. If you deactivate and activate again the auto switch nothing happens because of the previous "saved condition"

Why starting this thread when there is already a BIG thread about FW-updates?

Sorry, but I don't see 'Moderator' after your name. If the mods have no problem with this thread, why have you? If this thread has been created inappropriately I'm sure they'll close it.
With all due respect, if you don't like it, please just move on and stop trolling.
Plus, there are plenty of threads here about updates that are not in the firmware thread.

He started the thread he linked. Personally, I like threads like this one that speak to specific updates as they're released. I don't feel like wading through 40 pages of a thread when 37 have nothing to do with my particular phone/region.

That thread is a nightmare to read through. Sometimes when a new update comes out especially when it's in a new region, it's useful to read a nice fresh thread from page one detailing issues.
Also that thread is for ODIN not OTA.
Carrier update?

Hi mate, just wondering if your S8+ is on a carrier?
I've got the unlocked version and I don't have any updates, I've also checked SamMobile and Updato and can't find an unlocked one. However, I did see the update for Vodafone.
Also, does anyone know if I'll get any bloatware if I flash the Vodafone version?
Thanks!

My carrier's Sky Mobile, who 'piggyback ' off the O2 network, but I don't get any O2 bloat.
My version is XEU If that makes a difference, the wierd thing is that on Updato it showed a date for XEU of the 14th of July, but I only got it on the 24th. Would be interesting to know whether anyone from O2 has received this yet.
Not sure if flashing Vodafone will install their bloat like inserting their SIMS would.
The UK roll out never makes much sense. Some network firmwares are released before the generic ones, but its not consistent and can change at anytime. The only consistent thing is that EVR (EE) is always last, and usually skips releases entirely, often as many as 3 or 4 releases.

This is how stock Android works. Auto brightness still works, it's just based off where you set it, not where the OS decided it should be.
The service mode code *#2683662# which allows you to select specific Lte bands as well as enable 4 mimo no longer works after the update, just says not supported, anyone have any workarounds or reasons why?
Just got the update , No difference i can see
Does the Bixby remap apps like bxactions still work on this update?
