I am on sammobile trying to figure out which rom I need to download for the 910c that is english (US). Which one should I use?
Well most roms are in english and have no carrier logo or anything in the firmware download section for 910c, Click where it says select country Choose any firmware From Poland, Pakistan or United arab emirates these will have no carrier bloat ware and are in english. (beware don't update to COJ5 BUILD it has a locked bootloader if you update to 5.1.1 COJ5 there is no going back to 5.0.2 or 4.4.4) use firmwares below COJ5 build if you dont want to be stuck on the latest firmware.

Thanks, and actually I already updated to it without realizing it was locked, which is why I am looking at the stock firmware. Sweetrom was constantly freezing and then going into endless boot. Not sure if I need to replace the kernal to fix that, but I figure I would at least try from scratch.
Today was a learning experience. Have been flashing for years. The one time I decide to update without researching it better I was bit. I know better now. Should have stayed on v14.

Hey guys.
Got an N9005 and just getting really impatient waiting for the Australian XSA rom to be released. It's so close I'm sure but, was wondering if I could perhaps flash a Poland firmware for now then flash an Australian one when it's released with no problems?
In my knowledge, a few years of flashing roms etc, it seems this would update everything including my bootloader, which is fine. Heard also that you cannot go back to any previous version of android after this procedure. Which I find weird, as what if I flashed a 4.3 firmware, wouldn't this revert everything back? Including bootloader?
Anyway, not that I'd want to go back, that was more just to see what the final say was.
Moving on, so I should be able to flash a Poland room for example then update to Australian? As they are official firmware, I shouldn't trip Knox either?
Thanks heaps in advance guys.
Anyone??
Thanks!!

You can flash the Poland firmware while you wait. Almost everybody ran Poland Kitkat when it was first released.
The updated bootloader prevent from downgrading. If you try to do it via odin, the update will fail.
Official firmwares from any region will not trip KNOX.

AFAIK Optus Note 3 is N9007, not N9005. So may be this is your problem?

Ohh sorry, I mean there is a separate model for Optus operator.
In fact there is N9005 that has CSC code is OPS for Optus, and there is N9007 specific for Optus.
May be you have the 1st one.
You can get your Model and CSC code by using Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.
I am in Thailand and have NH1 firmware.
Would I get any benefit from flashing a newer firmware?
For example India has NH6 firmware.
Can I flash another country's firmware on my phone?
And, does it give any benefits?
When looking at custom ROMS many of them say they need a certain firmware before being installed.
(though they also are very buggy at the moments so I doubt I want to flash them anyway .. LOL)
Thank You
There are not any major changes in newer versions they fix some bugs thats it however you can't just flash some different countries firmware it may cause bootloop and sometimes even soft bricks ...
Edit :- there are some methods where you can flash them safely for eg changing your CSC however I don't recommend it do it on your own risk ....Here's a link to change csc

Well, I am no expert but I have flashed Indian firmware to my grand 2 whic was actually bought from Saudi Arabia. It still works fine. Similarlly, on my previous phone which I bought from Pakistan, I flashed KSA firmware that worked fine too. So, I guess only options for available languages change and nothing else gets affected adversly. Experts, kindly, express your opinion for further clarification.
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:

Yet another person not to bothered about reading forum rules.
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
Hello guys,
I have a samsung galaxy grand prime, and I want to update it to Lollipop. Unfortunately, there's no firmware update to lollipop in my country/region. I noticed that there's an update for this device in Russia or India region. I wanna install one of those firmware in my device. Is it okay, although I'm not from India or Russia?
(Pardon my english)

It's G350H. And the baseband is XXU. I know about that, but I'm still not sure that's safe. Is there any risks if I flash it to any region firmware though my region firmware isn't available yet?

Hi argounaut! There's nothing really risky about updating from another region as long as it's the right firmware for your phone. I usually update just like this 'cause my region doesn't give anything at all. My first was from Russia and then I updated my firmware from Uzbekistan and then flashed the latest build from Panama. All of it are 5.0.2 (Lollipop) and I haven't had any problems at all upgarding from other regions :good:
(EDIT: And I have the same SM-G530H as you, so no need to worry about risks)

Not really, but you have to root it again after every update beacuase you will lose root access. And for the best firmware so far, I think you should always go with the newest build every time you update:good:

Hi man! I don't know if it's going to void your warranty but, I do know that flashing firmware from official updates from other regions are totally ok. If it's a custom rom or your phone is rooted, well I can't really assure you with your question

I just got my s7 edge G935F from UAE and it says United Arab Emirates under "about device"
Now i would like to get rid of that. Can i do so by simply flashing another rom (i would like the uk-BTU) using odin ? or do i need to change the csc code as well
i also want to get OTA updates in the future for the firmware i am flashing (uk in this case).... now i am getting ota from UAE.
Do i need to backup the efs partition?
I have flashed roms before on other devices, i am experienced. It is just that i am new to the s7 edge world, i just got it

If you want everything working properly, you need to do a clean ODIN flash. Download BTU firmware and flash all 4 files.
BL
AP
CP
CSC (Not Home_CSC)
This will wipe your internal storage so make a back up.
can i change my uk ee rom btu? Then i want to put nougat on the device :0)
or you can just flash nougat beta with odin and your csc will be btu
My case is exactly like yours, so let me know about your progress
Rember that the CSC file can also the flashed standalone, to change the CSS, done it several times.
To be honest im unsure of the OTA when you do it this way.
I have never been an OTA guy, hehe.
