You should flash that firmware vía ODIN. Yes, your device is Russian and should have the same languages or more than in android 4.3.

Greetings,
I had a short visit to Dubai and I've bought an X10 from the airport on my way back home. I had it sealed and I opened it when I got back.
It was shocking that it had no android market and I am stuck with the phone and can't replace it.
I just want to have the firmware other than the one loaded to it that is specific for Dubai with no android market, I've been reading in this forum and I guess this process is called "rebranding" if I am correct? Please guide me to how to get android market on my handset because they do cheat people when they sell android handset without market application.
Hi.
You could follow steps 1 to 6 HERE which will "debrand" the phone, then run SEUS for the latest FW, or should you want to root the phone you could follow all the steps.
I've followed the instruction till step 6 then I ran SEUS but it says my phone is up to date. I didn't do step 7.
I have the market now showing up, I will try it and get back to you. But I am wondering why SUES gave me no updates?
My baseband version is 1.1.27 and my build number is R2BA023
Are these the latest versions?
I've used the market app and downloaded my first application. I am really thankful for your help.
I do have a question, before I do steps (from 1 to 6) my build version was R2BA024 and after I did all you said I am stuck with R2BA023, when I try SUES or OTA update it says my phone is up to date. What does this mean? I can't update my phone anymore?
plz Re-post the link

Download Flashtool with a generic firmware, flash it into your phone and enjoy your unbranded phone with the market. After flashing with Flashtool use SEUS to be sure everything is cleaned with a clean install with SEUS.

I don't know what you want to backup, but you could sync your contact/agenda etc with google. After that, download firmware .435 Generic and flash it into your phone. You will now have a unbranded device with market.
AFter doing that, you can optimize your ROM with Flashtool, install xRecovery, root etc... After the flashtool installation you will lose EVERYTHING. So be sure you back-up all important things.

Back up and restore could be fine if it does backup everything you want.
Debranding means that your phone is not LIMITED to one provider with software updates. So when SE releases a firmware you will have to wait till your provider releases the firmware for you. But when you debrand you get updates from SE and not your provider.

Well technically this isn't debranding because your phone is not carrier branded (It's just a generic UAE with no Market).
This is just switching to another region which has Android Market. But the way to do this is exactly the same as when debranding a phone.
Android Market isn't available in the UAE region.
So if you re-flash with another region and get market, and still using a SIM from the UAE I think it would block any content. But then you could root your phone and use Market Enabler to fake another carrier and get Android Market to work.
But since you "brought it home" I can say that reflashing it to another region will get you Android Market and it will work. You don't need to back up your UAE firmware when replacing it with another region firmware, and after you've flashed it with another region firmware SEUS or PCC will always flash to that region firmware.
If you flash to another region you won't have SlideMe Market, because all other region firmwares all have access to Android Market and therefor comes with Android Market pre-installed instead.
I remember when the first 2.1.A.0.435 build was released, that was to UAE it had no Market so I made a xRecovery fix package to get Android Market on it.
But would suggest you to flash another region firmware instead of this, because then when you flash with SEUS or PCC again in the future you would miss Android Market again.
You can find the latest firmwares here (don't use the AT&T but go for the one below called 2.1.B.0.1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11038646&postcount=1
Sony Ericsson said:
The Android Market is not supported in the UAE. This is due to the fact that Google has not had the necessary agreements with the Regulatory bodies as yet. This is fully controlled and managed by Google. Sony Ericsson will be offering Slide Me which is an alternative to Android market in the UAE.

BE AWARE You can't root it or install twrp due to new bootloader
Hello to EVERYONE!!!
Here a guide on how to receive 5.1.1 (G920F ONLY)
1.Download this firmware
2.Install it via odin
3.Reboot to recovery
4.Wipe data twice
5.Wipe cache
6.Reboot
7.Check for updates
8.VOILA

Update on how to get the right CSC (XEF) for the 5.1.1. update to show up
Here is how to change the CSC code to XEF (absolutely needed in order to get the 5.1.1. update)
- install & root with your preferred way ( [ROOT] PingPongRoot ***S6 & S6 Edge Root Tool*** or CF-Auto-Root
- install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ (paid version). Now in order to make the "Change CSC" option you will need to update the Superuser to "Superuser v2.49"
Here is how to update the SuperSU:
- Download the zip file at http://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip
- Extract and get the Superuser.apk file from the 'common' folder inside it.
- Install Superuser.apk, it will ask to update the binaries to the latest version. Let it update.
- Reboot the phone.
One of the users noted (related to using the tool Phone INFO ★Samsung★ (paid version) to change the CSC code) that: "I finally changed the CSC with this steps: rooted with Ping Pong, installed Phone Info (thank you for this app), and SuperSu 2.94, changed CSC, error on Recovery, Wipe data factory reset in Recovery, flashed the phone with Odin. Tested with 2 G925F phones."
I can confirm I followed the same procedure and it worked!

Read my post twice. In order to be able to get the 5.1.1. (at least for now) you need the XEF CSC (France). If others can confirm that they can get 5.1.1. without the XEF CSC that indeed an update / downgrade to your suggested firmware (an other as well) will work just fine. Until then CSC change is needed in such procedure requires root (unfortunately)

Rooting with Ping Pong will not trip Knox, so you will not lose warranty.
I think they should have one version of firmware for all ..or even one s6 and one s6 edge ...not so many variants. ..

New bootloader blocks downgrading, be careful installing 5.1.1 OTA!
Kernel built after May 15th (including some 5.0.2 and all 5.1.1) have PingPong xploit fixed. Be cautious when installing OTA these days and FlashFire might be your best shot of upgrading systems. i do not recommend to install 5.1.1.
This guide does not offer a guarantueed, immediate update. It simply does flash a French firmware, since this is the first EU country to receive OTA for G920F, which is fine. BUT the way updates are, they will not come to everyone immediately. So it can last up to a week, before the OTA finally arrives and you should tell guys, before they are forced to setup their S6 from scratch and end up frustrated.

OK, but from what I can tell the update is available for all the devices with that firmware via OTA; at the moment they are upgrading to 5.1.1. Why do you consider it can take a week?

Since this happens for all OTA`s, they are incremental. So some users get it on day 1, others on day 2, other even later. It`s like that since ages. Manufactureres use this careful way of rolling out upgrades to avoid issues, in case OTA includes a major bug.

1. Install this APP and look for your CSC code (Pic 1).
2. Look for that 3 letters in "Select Country" -> HERE. It will tell you of what country is your device.
3. Download, unzip and flash via ODIN the latest firmware for your device (Pic 2).

Welcome to XDA. This is not Facebook. Use a clear and explanatory title. We don't need clickbait here.
Settings -> about device -> software info -> baseband version. Here u can see name of your build. Now go to sam mobile.com -> firmware -> write SM-g935f -> find latest nt&t build. If it is the same, u have the latest. If it's not, you can use odin.
The firmware should be the latest 6.0.1 but the Android security patch level is May...

I checked that and indeed is different. What should I do with Odin?
1. Download the newest firmware.
2. Download odin.
3. Unpack the zip file, don't touch the tar.md5 file.
4. Take that home.tar.md5 file and put it into PDA or HOME not sure which one newet odin has.
5. Reboot Your phone using vol down + home + power, now when You see a blueish screen press vol up to confirm, and then plug Your phone into Your computer.
6. Tap on Start on Your computer and wait until it finishes
Note: I'd recommed You to backup the data that You have on Your phone, Odin shouldn't format data nor internal storage but just in case it's better to be safe .

6. Tap on Start on Your computer and wait until it finishes
Note: I'd recommed You to backup the data that You have on Your phone, Odin shouldn't format data nor internal storage but just in case it's better to be safe .

I can't find the model number of my telephone on the website you have suggested me... The model number is SM-G935A
No worries. Found it for You .
Link 1: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/102653/G935R4TYU4API5_G935R4USC4API5_USC/
This one is official but it's like universal USA firmware.

This one is for Your model. After flashing it You should get an update to get newest security patch.
First try the second link since it's the firmware made exactly for Your model .

If its not letting you I don't think you can. Just try to get on PC and update through samsung kies.
You can also go on sammobile.com and download the latest software/firmware and ODIN it to your phone. Instructions are right on the website as well as the latest ODIN software.

Correct root=no ota
I dont know what happened but when I check root again after two hours i got this:
so is it any better than the last MM update?
I checked and i dont have OTA marshmallow. .i dont have pc to try with samsung kies
i have installed it on my EUR phone and it flies as a first impression , security patch update august 2018 though. will report battery life later in the week
Can i change something in phone to get update? Why is happening this? Why i dont have update OTA? Does anyone have this problem and how is fixed? My big problem is that i dont have pc..
If your phone is rooted there may be a program that disables the update applications (com.samsung.sdm and com.samsung.sdmviewer if I remember correctly). What applications (other than stock) are on the phone, such as titanium backup, app quarantine, etc.
Now if someone rooted the phone to make it work with your phone network or other software you use this update may disable the phone and/or software requiring root.

I dont have any app in phone that need root for working.
I found and install this SDM but i need a phone to connect with..
can you give ne a little more explanation of this app? What do i need to do when I install it?
I dont have anyone app in phone that need root to work.
Can you give me a litlle more explanation abot this SDM, i found and install it on phone but..i dont know how to use it
Was it not already on the phone? This app automatically checks for OTA updates and downloads them.
You can open settings, scroll all the way down to the 'system' section, click on 'system updates' and then select 'check for updates'. Just make sure you have mobile data connection of some kind. (Cell or Wifi).
SDM should be installed on the phone unless someone specifically removed it. Of course be careful what you download and install. Lots of malicious software out there... If you had the ability to see the 'system update' option in settings, you already had the com.samsung.sdm package and did not need to install anything.
Was this phone sold by your carrier/provider originally or is it one you bought online and was made to work with your carrier/provider?
It is from provider Tmobile.
I give my phone to service provider and pay 10€ and thay put 6.0.1 marshmallow to my phone.
When i get back to my home,I get info that I can update android.
I have download the update, 300mb but when i try to install it,i cant. I get some update error.
Does anyone know what is this update? And how to install it? I have download a couple of times but its always the same. Can not update.
I finally have Marshmallow 6.0.1, but I cant install this next update.
