You can use any EU firmware, branded or unbranded, interchangeably on an EU device. The only thing you may run in to is 4G not being white listed for your provider, or a Size error in ODIN.
Yes. TNL is T-Mobile Netherlands. It's PHN (Dutch Unbranded) with a few apps and logo's. However, if you try flashing it over the Polish version, you'll get a Size error and will need a PITfile.

Yes. TNL is T-Mobile Netherlands, which is a modified version of PHN, Dutch Unbranded. It's not T-Mobile USA.

Thanx for the responses guys.

So, just to clarify, I would be able to flash the N9005 TNL firmware over an N9005 XSI firmware?

And if I did flash the N9005XXUGBOD6_N9005TNLGBOD1_TNL firmware, would I be able to go back to the original N9005XXUGNJ2_N9005OJVGNH2_XSI firmware?

I said EU firmware on an EU device. I know Europe's starting to resemble the Middle East more and more every day, but last I checked the United Arab Emirates wasn't a part of Europe.
It might be possible, but I can't say for sure.

In general, no. You can't downgrade.
It can be done, but there's a lot more involved than just flashing back old firmware.

Hi I just got a Note 3 on eBay, I think the seller was from Hong Kong but they opened it and installed Singaporean firmware on it.
I want it to run HK firmware but I heard about all these issues with the partition? I'm confused, which firmware am I allowed to install? I have XSP so I think that is Singapore.
I have a Rose Gold White 32GB.

Yes, you are right that the HK firmware can not be installed on another Note 3 due to different PIT file.
What is your Original CSC? You can check it with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.

Sorry, Sony was very easy for me to flash, I am seriously confused. I just want a firmware where there is Traditional Chinese. My Sony Z2 with German firmware had all the languages, weird that Samsung doesn't include all. So can anyone please direct me? I don't want to flash the wrong firmware and brick it. Thanks.

Since your phone is XSP now, you MAY NEED the PIT file from the HK phone to flash the HK firmware.
Search in the forum for the PIT file and also the instruction.

SM-N910C firmware with no carrier branding and bloatware

I have a version of SM-N910C that is region unlocked/factory unlocked and not associated with any carrier. That is, the phone and firmware are not branded with any carrier logo and and has no carrier bloatware. The product code of my phone is SM-N910CZKEMTZ, which means region code MTZ is not associated with any country. The problem I ran into is that sammobile.com does not have the firmware for this version listed. The only place I can find the original firmware for it is over at samsung-updates.com and the download links they provided would take about 17 hours to download, unless you pay.
Does anyone know if there is another firmware for N910C (other than MTZ) that is NOT carrier branded? I actually tried the one listed as "unknown" from sammobile.com and it turned out to be for a carrier from Chile called Entel.
you can try the russian NK5 version from Sammobile, flashed it on my 910C and it works perfectly.. except for the IR but that is an issue with the phone itself
Is the Russian firmware branded by a carrier?

This is the link for Russion firmware, it isn't branded by any carrier . SAMMOBILE
I also have the N910CXXU1ANK5 and can confirm that it's bloat free. In my case I received the OTA few days back.

Thanks. I will give the Russian firmware a try. Some people claimed that N910CXXU1ANK5 fixed IR blaster issue.

S7 Edge International on AT&T

Hey y'all,
I've had this S7 Edge International version for a while, and I was wondering if there is any way to improve signal. My internet is slow when I'm not on WIFI, I notice that in certain areas it is good, and most areas is just 1 bar which is meh. Any way to change some settings on the phone to fix this?
what csc are using? I got a France 935 and xfe works OK on AT&T. I did read you don't want to use an AT&T csc as it would be for a snapdragon and mess up a exynos based phone. maybe try BTU

*#12580*369# in the dial section on the phone app it will list it. it's the 3 letters after G935F

it says UUB
I think that is a multi csc for Latin America. might look around xda about using a different open multi csc. also are u updated to latest firmware. maybe since it is an international grab one from UK that has an updated modem (cp) file.

How do I do this? and does it trip knox?
if you update to an official Samsung version Knox will not trip. look for entries about official Samsung firmware and Odin. I assume that this international s7 edge will not be back in it country of origin. if it was and on a network there you'd get updates. if it is in the United States on AT&T then no updates would be pushed to the phone since they would be for the snapdragon version.

I get updates, it's just software updates though, nothing AT&T pushes afaik.
I meant firmware updates from either Samsung or your carrier. if you use *#12580*369# the first two lines should end in BPHJ. That would be an updated firmware. what do the first two entries say
