[Q] Debranding/flashing of SM-T337V and switching to Europe - Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am wondering if there are any possibilities to unbrand SM-T337V (Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 LTE from Verizon) and change it's localization setup to European one?
Will stock european ROM for Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 LTE-A (SM-T335, i guess this is pretty much the same device) work properly once flashed into Verizon's SM-T337V tablet? What's the risk involved?
SM-T337V is currently working on KitKat 4.4.4 and i don't see any stock ROM's available for SM-T337V other than US-Verizon (which kind of makes sense) in samfirmware DB. Closest to this one appears to be SM-T335 multi-location (inc. Europe) stock KitKat 4.4.4.
Maybe anyone already did the similar and can share his experiences?

You never shouldnt flash otyer device's firmwar, and odin wont let you becuause you woud brick

Ok, this makes sense, looks that i need to stick to Verizon's branded US localized version of KitKat on SM-T337V.
Other question: is there any sort of way to introduce European localization and language packs on this tab? Sort of changing CSC on Sam phone? (In standard setup, I'm limited to pick from 5 or 6 languages)
Also, is there any way to unlock SIM from Verizon?

[Q] Can I install SM-G900F firmware on SM-G900H

I've bought Samsung Galaxy S5 in US and now when I'm home (I'm from Italy), I figured out it's missing some features. Is it possible to install SM-G900F (european firmware) on my phone?
Thanks!

If you are going to do that, you'll definitely going to hard-brick your device, and that my friend is nearly impossible to fix even with the most experienced technician and proper equipment that you have. G900F & G900H differs on hardware. Different versions, even those that are hardware identical carries the risk of hard-bricking it if you flash a firmware not intended for your version, what more if the 2 versions in questions are vastly different.

[Q] SM-T330 vs SM-T330NU - firmware

Are the firmwares for the tablets in subject interchangeable? the NU is the North American version and I'm wondering if I could flash a European version of the T330 to support mode languages. I want to add that sammobile has the firmwares listed under different codes.
Anybody knows if it is possible to flash an LTE firmware on the WIFI version of the same tablet? Thanks

I dont know, but I highly advise not install LTE on WiFi only tab, since there are hardware differences and you most likely will brick your tab

Hi,
do you've already got any further information on this? For I have the same problem: in the US we purchased a tab for my mom, but she isn't doing too well with the english UI (though she already got used to it - it's still android, after all ).
Anyway: there's also a WiFi-Version (SM-T330NZWADBT) of this tablet. Is there anywhere a firmware available for download for this particular model? And: is the firmware interchangeable in this case, as it's wifi-to-wifi straight?
Regards,

So can I install firmware from sm-t230 on sm-t230NU cause I want Polish language. or it's hidden and hidden languages are achievable with morelocale2?
"Locale More" did the job for me, all it requires is to run one adb command and it works well without root.

S4 i9505 LOLIPOP Google Edition help?

hi i have a UK i9505 s4 lte, i live in the UK also, i have just updated to the new lolipop BTU, i find it a bit laggy, way too much bloat, and messy. I have never used a Google edition rom after doing some research am still a bit confused and would appreciate a little help.
is there a 5.0.1 or just a 5.0 and where can i find the official unaltered download which will work for a i9505 lte version?
can i use odin to flash it , in the same way i flash a regular Samsung official rom?
can i use cf auto root to root it via odin like the regular stock sammy firmware way?
will a google edition work in the UK networks. eg is the modem compatible?
also can you give me a quick rundown on what will be missing compared to that of the regular stock FW eg
will i still have wifi share / direct? and other core features?
i dont mind loosing hand swipe, smart stay and those sammy gimmicks as i never use them..
thanks you in advance..

don't think so as there is no specific Latin American version for the S2 as in Tab S, Tab 4 etc. (no "M" version) that I know of. Maybe you may lose some country-specific apps that came with the ROM but maybe not a big issue. You can always flash back the original rom for your device. Keep that ready just in case.
Your device should be a multi-csc device. Download Samsung phone-info from play and post the available csc's under the CSC tab.

How to reflash SM-T337A to T-mobile firmware?

Hello,
I just got two Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 devices previously used with At&T and now unlocked. But I want them to be used with T-Mo and since I also have a couple of Galaxy Tab 4 from T-mo I want to reflash AT&T devices into T-mo firmware.
Is that even possible? Because I tried to find any tutorial for that but fail.
Can someone give me links or guide on how to do this?
Thank you.
Go to sammobile and looks for your device firmware and install the t mobile variant
(Not sure if installing a different carrier works though)
Hint:you might need the tools attached below
