Flash different region ROM/modem/fw on imported G935(K) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
Just got a S7 Edge G935K from Korea (Exynos) and I was wondering if I could flash a ROM corresponding to my region (G9350 - Hong Kong), however the model sold here is the Snapdragon one. Are the ROMs chip-specific?
Also the current version on my G935K is G935KKTC1APDA while the latest G9350 ROM I want is G9350ZZH1APB9, would it still be possible to "downgrade"? Or is it safe to at least try without hard/soft bricking?
The only reasons I want to do that is to maybe have wifi-calling enabled (I had it working on my previous phone and the S7E is supposed to have it), get rid of the korean operator boot logo, and change the recovery mode language... well, maybe not worth it, but we are on xda after all.

No. Your device is only for Korea (KT Corporation). Anyway you wanna flash one firmware of other phone model that isn't supported for your device. You will brick your device for sure.

Ok. I wasn't sure if the model names were different region naming only or different hardware too (except the chip). Well everything is working fine except the wifi-calling which i dont really need, so i won't try anything stupid.
Thanks !

So were you able to flash another region firmware ? I also have korean G935K and want to install unbranded stock from another region.
If you did it successfully, can you please share which one you have flashed?

i have the chinese version,
I was able to flash the hong kong variant with no problems. ( i did not flash the bootloader )

So you did flash 3 files out of the package excluding the bootloader ?
What would have happened if you included BL in the sync?

It would fail. I did try this hoping it may work.
Didn't brick or do anything negative, just had to reboot the bootloader and flash without bootloader.

I've installed a stock based custom rom for g935f on my g935k through TWRP, everything went very well...
(separately updated BL and CP with correct files with ODIN though)
Still not sure how it will work with ODIN and a complete 100% stock rom.

I flashed a stock based custom ROM through TWRP for my G935L. I can boot normally.
But I could not flash BL and CP via ODIN. Could you please explain a little bit more on how did you update BL and CP with correct files with ODIN? (Or is it necessary to flash BL and CP even though the stock based custom ROM seems working fine?)

After flashing a G935F rom in TWRP, I've used the BL and CP (Odin) from the FW update specific to my S7E variant, G935K for me, should be G935L in your case.
(updating BL and CP seems to not be a must, but it was recommended in the thread of the custom rom I'm using)

What variant do you have? I have the g935w8 Exynos variant and looking to flash the international 935f. My device isn't rooted and would like to keep that way.

King Rom v7. I'm considering flashing the v8 or a different rom but I don't have any real issues and battery is still acceptable to me as I charge my phone at night. And I'm lazy to set it up again.
Just in case, and to be clear, for the BL and AP I have flashed the ones from the latest stock rom available for my S7E (K variant) from sammobile, not from the custom rom (Wich is based on F variant)

Thanks a lot for the clarification. Can you give me the link to where i can get the BL and AP for the stock rom of the K variant?

Got it from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935K/
You will get the full FW, in Odin select BL and CP only. You can flash them after installing the custom rom (custom rom installed using TWRP)
Edit: BL and CP, not BL and AP

So does that mean we can use some of the customs rom's in the thread for the 935F/FD on the G935K model, I have a K model from SK/olleh and have found zero answers to if its possible or not to do.

Yes!
Did it on my G935K multiple times and also flashed a G935S (also Korean variant) for a colleague couple of days ago. So far I have tried different version of Superman Rom, King Rom and Basic Rom. All 3 are OK.

[Q] Downgrade to older stock ROM N9005?

Hey all!
Is it possible to downgrade from a newer (NE3) firmware to an older (ND3) through Odin or it will brick my phone because of the bootloader?
The only things I know are that 1) Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 is not possible 2) It's possibile to install a custom older rom on new bootloader and vice versa BUT I don't know if it's possible with stock roms with Odin.
I looked for a solution but nothing found and no one answered me so I opened this thread to find out a solution.
Thanks in advance.
UP still interested because NE4 + custom kernel gives problems that others doesn't have

I never actually tried going back to an older version but I really don't see why you shouldn't. As long as it's KitKat 4.4.2 just try it should work. I downgraded my Modem and haven't had any issue.
With the Bootloader worry...did you even change the bootloader? As well as the Modem you have to do that separate to the Rom, as flashing a Rom doesn't touch Modem an Bootloader!!! If you don't know how to do that please just leave it alone though unless you read, read, read a lot on how to do that.

Thanks for the reply, every time I install a new rom I make sure to update the bootloader and modem too, and from what I can read from the Synapse app I have the NE3 modem and NE4 bootloader.
I'm asking how to go back to older roms because going from 4.4.2 to 4.3 updating the bootloader with Odin you obtain only a fancy paper weight, and I didn't know if going from newer to older 4.4.2 bootloader it was the same story.

I'm pretty sure there won't be an issue mate since I flash between custom roms almost daily which are most of the time different models. If you want to be 100% sure wait for someone to confirm as I'm rooted since I got the chance to do so.
Thanks to the developer Civato I read on his FlexKat thread he correctly downgraded his bootloader from NE6 to ND6 with Odin...
So problem solved, this is definitely possible.
Thank you everyone for your replies :good:
Downgrading bootloaders on the same version generally tends to work OK, mainly because on 4.3 Samsung patched the security flaw which stopped you going <MJ7
Kith Kitkat I never had any issues flipping back and forth.--- Until it's a BL upgrade with OS Number change (IE: 4.4.3 if it has new BL) then it shouldn't work.
hi. sorry,this is probably an old thread but I need some help,please and somehow,Google got me here. I want to downgrade (not really downgrade) my N9005 to 4.4.2.
I currently have a custom ROM(resurrection remix v5.6.9,in settings it says that I have android 6.0.1 marshmallow). Also,I have a custom recovery(TWRP). Well,I would like to install the KitKat stock ROM and really did a lot of research but I cannot find it anywhere :'( . Do you know any source? And also,can I flash it with mobile ODIN? When I opened Mobile Odin Pro it said that if I don't have the boot loader for the ROM I want to install then I will experience a soft brick. Isn't TWRP a good boot loader?
Also,does it matter what version of N9005 I own? mine is: XXUGBOJ1. Could I flash smth that is not for this ..base band is it called?...
pls help
I'm such a newbie and I don't wanna mess up

What custom ROM for SM-910S with Exynos5433?

I just bought a Samsung Note 4 SM-N910S. I thought is with Snapdragon, but CPU-Z says it's with Exynos5433. Which custom ROM should I use and what recovery mode?
I've searched for Samsung drivers, but couldn't find any that work.
Android version is 6.01.
Help?
Well, I found my own answer regarding Samsung Android drivers. The only version that works is 1.5.30.
Now I'll install TWRP 3.0.2.0 and then I'll try MIUI 7.

TWRP 3.0.2.0 failed to install, even though Odin said „PASS!”, so I installed PhilZ. Then I installed MIUI 7 and eRobot, but on start both gave the same error: Kernel not being SEenforced.
Now I'm searching for a kernel that is SEenforced.
I'm downloading Sweet ROM 17.1 with kernel SE enforced....
Well, my hopes that 910C ROMs will work with 910S Exynos variant were shattered. So, I'm back to stock ROM 6.0.1. I will root it and remove KNOX (I don't care about warranty anyway) and try to remove as much bloatware as possible. I wish I knew how to build a custom ROM...
I've installed 6.0.1 using Odin 3.x. Next comes root!
I wish there was a custom ROM for SM-N910S...
The ROM from SK Telekom sux!!! I've rooted the phone and tried to remove all the bloatware, but I was unsuccessful, resulting into unusable ROM.
I've found a tutorial to install a debloated stock ROM from SM-N910C based on android 5.1.1 which is a much better option than the original ROM. Not to mention the permission levels for 6.0.1 are messed up really bad, imho.

Just a friendly reminder : make a full backup before installing any ROM.
I think.....if you have modem file of 910S, you can try to flash custom ROM for 910C/H and the flashed your modem, and maybe it will work.
I'm on 910H, and that is the trick that we use to flash 910C ROM.
but please explore xda some more, maybe someone already tried it and succeed/failed.
@cacingbesar: I don't care about backups on phones, because I don't have any important data on them. The only thing I backup is the contact list.
Moving on with my saga...
I was thinking that maybe there's a way of converting my SM-N910S to SM-N910C, because at HW they are basically the same so I've started searching the net and found an interesting video on youtube on an indian guy who did just that on 5.1.1.
So, I followed his tutorial and installed his ROM which is debloated, de-knoxed and rooted which I very much prefer over the crappy SK ROM.
I've learned the trick of this is to use SM-N910C ROM, but flash the modem from SM-N910S. I wish I knew how to extract the modem from the stock SM-N910S and to inject it into custom ROMs.
Even though SM-N910S and SM-N910C are HW identical, a custom ROM made for SM-N910C doesn't work on SM-N910S. Why is that? I have no idea...

No....I'm not worrying your data, I worry that you lost your efs/imei, that would cost you dearly.

Need N900W8 Bootloader & Modem & ROOT?

Hi, I have a N900W8 (Canada) and I am in Lollipop. I am looking for the Marshmallow bootloader & modem for N900W8.
Also, im looking to root my phone other than the cf auto root method. Because after flashing the cf-autoroot for n900w8, my buttons stopped working.
Thank you.
There is no marshmallow bootloader or modem.
You can flash SuperSU from twrp.
What bootloader/modem can I use for a marshmallow rom?
Just use the latest LP bootloader and modem.

I thought it should be a marshmallow bl/cp for a marshmallow rom. Didnt know i can use a lollipop.
And for the supersu, i just need to flash twrp then flash supersu from chainfire website?
Thank you.
There is no MM bootloader and modem because Samsung never released a MM build for the Note 3.
Yes, just flash twrp and Chainfire's supersu.
@audit13 do you know how to get the modem and bootloader from a stock firmware (tar.md5) ?
Not sure if you can extract it from a stock rom but it may be easier to just flash the entire rom in Odin.

Okay, I'll do that. Also, do you know what custom kernel is compatible with stock rom N900W8VLU2DPG1 ?
AFAIK, there is no custom kernel that is compatible with the stock Samsung ROM because the Samsung Note 3 apps require a Samsung kernel.

There is a custom kernel for stock note3 lolipop firmware which is called lean kernel, idel kernel, ater97 kernel and shinto kernel.... Do ur research before saying thinks u don't knw about ok bro.
@jgun007, I said "AFAIK", I never said there wasn't a kernel for the Canadian note 3 sm-n900w8 which is the model referred to in the subject line of this thread and discussed in this thread.
I see that lean kernel is for the n900t (T-mobile note 3) which is not the same model as the Canadian note 3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2488233
I see idel kernel here but I don't see the Canadian note 3 model listed as being compatible: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...nt/kernel-idlekernel-leankernel-fork-t3241582

What do you want to know about your phone? The model # is sm-n900w8. I noticed you had three zeros in your post.
Looks like your phone is running the latest stock ROM according to sammobile.com: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900W8/

Yes, is a stock device. Never rooted. And it's a mess for the 0 in over.

You can root using cfautoroot and Odin.

G935W8 & Renovate Edge 5.0 Nougat

I am unable to get Renovate Edge 5.0 to boot at all. I have tried flashing the firmware and it says that it is installed, but running
Code:
getprop ro.bootloader
shows that it hasn't updated to the DPLT firmware, always returning my current BL APJ4. I'm attempting to get the APK3 BL and modem right now to see if that helps.
Anyone else getting this problem?
Note: My CSC is XAC (Multi CSC for Canada, mine is RWC specifically)

Can confirm not working on APK3 BL and CP either. Still can't get DPLT BL and CP to flash over TWRP (3.0.2-4) and I can't seem to figure out how I would flash the files through Odin, as they are all bin files.

That was done and did not work, the APK3 BL and CP are the latest ones for RWC right now. The official nougat firmware is still not out, whether for RWC or generic Canada XAC.
I think I'm going to wait until the XAC firmware for nougat comes out and flash the CP and Modem for that through Odin.
Seems to be only viable option at this point.
If you really need the the latest 7.0 update, ambasadii rom, has an aroma option to install modem and bootloader (just select no) you can get nougat working on the APK3

I did want the 7.0 update mainly for the Grace UX, although I'm a HUGE fan of the Renovate ROM development. I'll try out the ambasadii ROM for the week, see how i'm feeling it and report back!

Update to to apk3 and you'll be able to boot renovate ROM, I was able to flash the latest update last night using apk3, with baseband working properly

I had already tried flashing the renovate rom clean and dirty flash including dalvik wipe while on APK3 BL and CP
I'm on ambasadii right now with no issues on APK3
Got pretty adjusted.
Imma test out the renovate rom on APK3 again next week, when i'm a bit more free.
Just tried to flash the latest renovate edge release and still no luck on APK3. Seems like no firnware has been released for my CSC yet, so i'm unable to get it to work yet. Ambasadii Rom has been working great for the most part, just seems to be using more RAM then usual, and burning through my battery somewhat quicker as well.
Tried flashing the firmware files included in the Renovate Edge thread, but the bootloader seems to not want to flash at all, baseband flashes fine.

S7 edge SM-G935F stock ROM

Hi,
I have a galaxy s7 edge SM-G935F model device. it was already rooted. but now I want to flash stock ROM into it. but when I visit sammobile.com to download the original firmware there's no option for my country. I'm from Sri Lanka. but when I choose the SM-G935FD model there's Sri Lanka. so I want to know if I flash any country firmware to my device (SM-G935F) is there any problem? I mean heating, signal, lagging problems? please help me with this.
Thank you

			
				
Flashing firmwares from other countries has not been a problem for me.
Also I dont think flashing fd should be a problem either. FD is the dual sim version which is essentially the same. You can flash FD 1st and if you notice any problems try flashing another country. Always flash the latest FW though. Might cause problem if your flash old firmware over newer.
If you want to keep root try S7Edge Stock rooted

Hi,
thank you for the valuable answer, my friend. yesterday I have flashed ITV firmware to my SM-G935F model. when the process is ongoing Odin is stuck 2 times (set partition). but when I change the Odin version it gets completed. when I check both firmware file sizes FD one shows 4000MB+ and F model ITV firmware shows around 2300MB+ sizes. are there any differences between those two? I already flashed ITV open firmware. what did you recommend for me to do? FD one or F(ITV)?
Is the one you flashed booting? If yes then go ahead and test it
