Is it possible to flash a stock O2 Note 4 with EE Note 4 ROM? I want the ability to use the EE NFC SIM with the tap an pay app EE app and also when the WiFi calling capability arrives in EEs ROM too.
Do I need to hack the phone and void my warranty/KNOX by rooting to try and change CSC or something for it to be allowed?
It did accept the German Lollipop 5.01 BOC3 update via Odin but I'm damned if I can get the EE 4.4 ROM onto it.
As it stands my Original O2 Supplied JB4.4 Note 4, went to LP 5.01 BOB4 then LP 5.01 BOC3 all via Odin but if I try to downgrade to the EE ROM it fails at hidden partition with an error about the image size being <512000. Do I need to donwgrade to the original O2 4.4 ROM before trying the EE 4.4 ROM? Do I need a .PIT file to repartition my storage?
For ref it is SIM unlocked via a code from O2 so currently runs EE.
I guess I really need to do more research but if anyone know s the answer I'd be grateful if they could shed some light for me.
Thanks.
Dan.

Hey all
I am unfortunate to have the UK N910F phone (PDAN910FXXU1ANK6 and CSCN910FH3G1ANK1) as this has not received the lollipop update. I have not rooted the phone and don't really want to root as some apps will not work with root I. E. Banking apps.
My question is there a international Rom that I could flash with Odin as I tried a lollipop rom with the wrong PDA and CSC (PDA N910FXXU1BOC3 CSC N910FVFG1BOC2) and that just bricked the phone, luckily samfirmawre had my original 4.4.4 Rom so my phone is OK
Many Thanks
Alexndr's BOC3 ROM will allow you to keep your current CSC:

Answering your question. There is German soft for n910f on sammobile. I flashed it via odin and it works just fine.
Be careful
About your question, be careful with that, if you have your phone from a carrier (including if you unlocked it), be careful because, for example, here in Spain if you have your phone with Vodafone and you change the ROM to a non-VF, you may notice that your payment by NFC won't work. BTW I works with some banks in europe and I had no problem with whatever o their apps changing the ROM to a official from another country (nor to a custom rom, but that's your choice), now I have your same model, bought unlocked to samsung with the indian ROM from sammobile
Hey guys,
I'm trying to revert back to the stock rom on my N910F (UK purchase - unlocked) but no matter which firmware I download via Sammobile, it just isn't working! It says "FAILED" on Odin when flashing. The only firmware that seems to work is N910FXXU1COH4_DevBase_alexndr - but this version has constant knox notifications and I'm giving my phone to a family member who doesn't want root or anything because she's not very good with phones, she also wants the stock rom installed only.
Can anybody advise me on where I'm going wrong or the firmware I need to install? Should I attempt 5.0 instead of 5.1? Thanks in advance!

Make absolutely sure you have the proper firmware, (correct country code) and so on..
Also..do you have a custom recovery installed.? IF so, you'll probably need to flash the stock recovery from the OS your needing to revert..after stock recovery is working, then flash the firmware..

Make shure to use the genuine USB cable and don't use USB 3 port
I have a GSIII Neo (GT-I9300I) that came from Iran. I was wondering if I could flash a 4.4 firmware from another country to this phone, since there is no 4.4 for the Iran GSIII Neo. And I want the official firmware, not a custom rom.
Any help?
yes you can, I have an GT-I9301I and every time there is a new update for official stock firmware even if it's not for my country, i download it from sammobile.com/firmwares and flash it via ODIN, as longer it's for my exact phone model, it's ok
and everything work perfect, even all the stuff relying on network (calls, sms, 3G, 4G ...)
No modem chnages or restore required?

- Do you reflash your past modem?
No, I flash all the new firmware with its own modem
- Is you phone carrier unlocked?
yes my carrier unlocked is unlocked but it have nothing to do with that.
my advice for u is to gow with an italian (ITV) or German (DBT) frmware, ive tried eveeery firmware and they are the best for smoothness and baterry life ... you wont' face any problem at aal, the only thing you'l have to do after is to set he APN manualy for 3G Connection and MMS, that's all, otherwise everything else is the same.

or you can go with a custom rom to update it with the latest firmware, Project Lucky S7 Style ROM is AMAZING and its very fast and smooth even better than a stock ROM. think abt giving it a try befor flashin the new stock rom

Good luck bro
Hi all, today I gave a look on sammobile and it appears that S3 neo ITV got an update to 2016 august security patches. This happened a year ago for ITV model. Even though I can't find the firmware I am running on sammobile, kies says that my S3 neo (June security patches) is ITV but I DON'T get the update in settings nor kies nor smartswitch. Is it ok to flash the latest firmware with Odin? It shouldn't erase all data anyway right?
Thanks if anyone answer this old thread (lol but still keen on my s3 neo)
Edit: and did anyone get august security patches?
Hi,
I want to change my firmware to EE (UK) firmware N9005XXUGBOF1 in order to use WiFi Calling.
Has anyone successfully flashed and used this one?
I only ask because I tried the newer version N9005XXUGBPB1 and it didn't work, something about the size not being right so I ended up not only having to factory reset but go back to my original UK no operator firmware.
I have a N9005.
Thanks a bunch

Due to illness (visual (vdu related so limited screentime)and brainfade!) Had to urgently revert to latest (Dec 24th) stock Oreo 8 Indonesian S7Edge (from SamMobile) as have SM-935FD (Duos) model with UK 3 network and Spanish (telefonica/o2) sims.
Uber would NOT work on my Superman Rom 2.9 (Nougat), even with Magisk etc... as also have pneumonia was creatnig PANIC situations! :crying:
Would LOVE to go back to FULL Rooted Rom (hidden) with secure everything (Android Pay, Gpay, UBER etc etc!) but unless I can guarantee all works without tripping ****, then i dont have the strength to do right now...
BUT - i am also having signal problems with 3 mobile (BTU) as usnig Indo CSC - because the BTU needs to be edited in order to get dual dialling pads in 'Phone', I cannot just odin flash the BTU csc over INDO... I dont think?? And also, as Sammobile stock recovery, am too nervous to odin TWRP in case i lose all the other stuff that ow works that I need
SO, any advice, SHORT links to read would be V V welocme and helpful...
Happy New Year all -Thanks!! :good:
