Can anyone tell me any major differences between farrier branded firmware and the btu firmware. From what I can gather carrier branded get the updates first so would there be any point flashing to btu my device is unlocked would I gain anything thanks.
Hi! I would like to ask if there is an Unbranded European NI4 Firmware for the SM-G900F? Almost all I see are branded ones, though there are 2 Unlocked Asian Firmwares, but a little hesitant to flash them. European FW by my experience are the safest to flash.
Many thanks!
Yes, currently NI4 are only available for Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia.
I have (unbranded) WanamaLite ANI4 running which is perfectly stable and running fine with very low battery consumption. It's the UK version (BTU) that is very basic with only some very usefull mods.
Can I flash XEU firmware with odin to my network locked model? I'm on EE and would like to have the unlocked unbranded version on my device?
Please tell us the model of the phone, the country, locked /unlocked (also the carrier if locked), any information about the update in your country / information from your personal carrier.In Romania on SMG-935 F unlocked I didn't recieve the update.
The most important countries already received the update such as UK, a part of France and some of Australia.
This thread will help you determinate when your getting the update based on other people's info from your country. Please share your info.

I'm living in North East Asia at the moment and grey imported an S8+ SM-G955F. All looks to be Ok however it's CSC is ATL so I'm getting a few Vodafone apps from Spain. I can use my local SIM but am concerned a little that I'm relying on Vodafone Spain to push out updates? (or because it's unlocked does Samsung do it?)
Could I flash a BTU software version over this? Will I then get updates for BTU going forwards? It would also remove the Vodafone crapware?
Any help would be appreciated!
