http://fus.nanzen.se/ this site lets you know what updates are available.
and it depends. if youre waiting for OTA, you can only wait for the OTA for the region the device came from. ie. im on 2.3.5 polish version, i cant download hong kong 2.3.6 ota, even if im in hong kong. ota is specific to the region your device originated from.
your ota will automatically download the version specific for your phone, regardless of where you are. the only except is if youre on an operator locked device, at which point, you would need to be able to communicate with the operators servers.
however, if youre choosing to flash the software manually, you can use another region's firmware iirc.
simplest way is to just plug it into your computer and run KIES and it will tell you if theres an update for your specific device or not.

Thanks .

Enter this into your phone's dial pad: *#272*imei# where imei is your phone's imei.
See Settings > About Phone > Status > IMEI.
If you see a list of sales codes(CSC's) like XEU, DBT etc, then you can change your CSC to DBT and the OTA and Kies update will work.
Otherwise, you may have a network branded version that doesn't have options to change CSC and this won't work.

But. salescode is it? Cpw .
and install under there. culd it be a list of csc there before i hit install or? what happend if i hit install on it. the man who saled this to me said that my phone where open on every network.sim.

the man was correct as you CAN use any network operator SIM. unfortunately that is different from being able to set a country code. i am in the same situation as i assumed CPW provided all phones totally stock ... clearly i was wrong :-(

[Q] SGS4 origin and how to change it.

I just got my phone, when I opened it I noticed that the first language option that was given to me was spanish (or maybe portugese not really sure) anyway, that got me curious, did my phone come originally from south america or somewhere in the iberian peninsula?
I was sure about this when I opened the browser and saw this locked bookmark from samsung that is in spanish.
anyway, is there anyway to know where my phone originally came from or was manufactured for? and is there any way to change this?
Thank you.

You can search the baseband info on sammobile.com
I found that my ebay purchased unit was bound for Trinidad/Tobago.

Thanks!
Mine is for Colombia (COO)
will it be OK to install a firmware other than the one for colombia? for example I want to change to a firmware from brazil instead or germany.

I'd like to know as well - I'd like to install the latest firmware (I9500XXUAMDM I believe?) from another country as my country (S. Africa) is currently on I9500XXUAMDE

Yes you can guys
flash via ODIN. Download firmware from samfirmware

Surely flashing a different firmware cant change the origin of the phone?

Be careful, your warranty may not be valid if the phones from a different country >. <

[Q]are csc and pda are essentiel to update

hello,
i want to return to stock rom from cyanogen 11 on s4 but i can't get my csc and pda version from *#1234# and in sammobile there are so many choices and i dont want to brick my phone so i want to now if i can update to any software as i am not locked to any carrier bcz i hate cyanogen on s4
thank you

No, you can just put the file downloaded from Sammobile into the "PHONE" (or "PDA") area.

the firmware version of your phone should be on the original box with the IMEI , if you have the box go for it

Hi Mate
CSC stands for Customer Service Country , it gives you country/carrier specific configuration like language , carrier network settings ( like fastdormacy)
Is good to have but you can live without it.

Does that mean i can download any software from sammobile and install it without any problem??

Hi ,
In most cases yes , you may not have your language available or miss a network specific configuration but it should work ...

Yes.
But do not try network specific roms or firmwares of some different model.
Example: i9500 stock firmware wont work with i9505. You will brick your device.
Rest any i9500 rom will work with i9500.
I'm using a russian i9500 firmware on my Indian i9500, and it works better than the rest
Press Thanks if I helped

Lollipop for Latin American MT7-L09

Okay so upon further investigation I came to learn that the phone I purchased is an unlocked unbranded MT7-L09 from Colombia. I have reverted back to the original firmware, which is B120SP04a. My question is there anyone else here with a Mate 7 from Latin America? If so, have you been able to successfully update to the official Lollipop? If so, what firmware were you on and what region did you install Lollipop from?
Any help and advice is GREATLY appreciated!
TIA
P.S. To determine what region my device was from I did the following:
1. In dialer, dial *#*#2846579#*#*
2. Go to ProjectMenu
3. Go to Network Setting
4. Go to Operator and country info
Mine shows Operator Name as hw and Country Name as nla
According to a guide I saw on CarbonTesla these are some of the other regions:
hw/spcseas – Malaysia
unicomelectric/cn – China
hw/meafnaf – Pakistan
mts/by – Belarus

I live in Central America and I upgraded succesfuly using the guides you find here. Used the official EU firmware and works great.

I live in the U.S., but the phone I purchased is from Northern Latin America. Perhaps the phone you have is European. I have tried all the versions available here and none of them work properly. I have installed both the versions from Malaysia and the one from Europe, each has some type of problem when installed or lack functionality. This is because in fact my phone is not from any of those regions. I saw a guide on how to change the Region for the Huawei Honor 4C, but I cannot find anything for the Mate 7, plus it seems a bit risky to change the region.
I saw a video on youtube of a guy in Peru who successfully updated to Lollipop, but the guy is charging and I'm not willing to pay for something I can do myself. I just need a version of Lollipop that has been released for that Region.

Well, sadly, there is no official lollipop release for LA. MT7-L09 is simply an international version and should work on most regions. I flash this rom:
"MT7-L09_Firmware_C900B324_Android 5.1.1_EMUI 3".
And upgraded from "Jazz-L09 V100R001C00B137". According to the manual, you can directly upgrade from other KK versions.

Is knuckle snapshot working for you? And did you factory reset before or after updating? Do you still have 5x5 icons available? Can you possibly post the links to the firmwares you used?

Lollipop link
kitkat b137 link
knuckle gestures work... 5x5 work... Only thing missing is being able to change DPI down to 400 which I got used to, working with 420 now.
Ohhhh.... And I did a factory reset after upgrading.

On my phone is showing this:
Operator name:hw
Country name:eu
What it means? I'm still with B137, no OTA for my phone.
Thanks in advance.

@ronnie72... That means that you have the European version. So you can just download the link posted by @Zolocofxp to upgrade to Lollipop. You may also need to download the update_cust.app which is linked here
Hope you get it working. It took me a while to finally get everything up and running properly, but the link above should point you in the right direction.

@Bonnie1977, thanks! I know now to upgrade with "Local update". But why OTA still unavailable??? Strange ....

@ronnie72... I have no idea why no OTA. I live in the U.S., so for me I'll never receive any OTA updates. I just download them from Huawei's site and do the local update.

On my phone is showing this:
Operator name: Claro
Country name: pe
Whats it means?

I think that means you're locked to Claro, which is the Network provider and country seems to be Peru.

Can't find the same version

Hello
My girlfriend and i both have an s7 edge. She has a different stock rom then there is on my phone. We have both the same provider (proximus).
She already has the option 4glte to make calls.
I would like that option to so i'm trying to find her rom to flash it on my phone. The problem is i can't find it on the internet. Not even on sammobile.
The baseband version of her phone is G935FXXU1BPHJ and the buildno is MMB29K.G935FXXS1BPK1.
Can someone find this and please post a link here?
I already put her simcard into my phone , still no 4glte.

I kind of disagree with this statement. my 935f came from the Philippines with csc tpa and now my phone is running Italy firmware with csc itv. so u can change firmware.i use sammobile.com to find firmware but I think their is another website u can use to find firmware but I do not know what it is. download phone info from the Google play store to your girls phone and it will tell u everything about her phone.

So i've searched on sammobile for her stock rom and flashed it on my phone. Now if i go to the app phone info i can see now the following :
product code : SM-G935FZDAVD2
firmware code : VD2
Active csc code : VD2
Availeble CSC Codes : ATL, AVF,CNX,CYV,MOB,MTL,OMN,PRO,SIM,SWC,TCL,VD2,VDC,VDF,VDH,VDI,VGR,VIP,VOD,XFV
CSC COUNTRY : Germany / DE
mobile operator : proximus / 20601
bootloader version : G935FXXS1BPK1
pda version : G935FXXS1BPK1
csc version : G935FVFG1BPH1
baseband version : G935FXXU1BPHJ
And on her phone i see this :
product code : SM-G935FZKAPRO
firmware code : PRO
Active csc code : PRO
Availeble CSC Codes : ATL, AVF,CNX,CYV,MOB,MTL,OMN,PRO,SIM,SWC,TCL,VD2,VDC,VDF,VDH,VDI,VGR,VIP,VOD,XFV
CSC COUNTRY : Belgium / BE
mobile operator : 20601
bootloader version : G935FXXS1BPK1
pda version : G935FXXS1BPK1
csc version : G935FVFG1BPH1
baseband version : G935FXXU1BPHJ
So it's now only the product code , the firmware csc code , the active csc code , csc country and mobile operator that are wrong. The rest is now all the same.
Can i set the active csc code also to PRO? And without rooting? And will the volte work than ? Or are there some other steps i need to do?

yes, switch the csc to pro and then make sure your phone is registered with your provider and it should work.

This is my first international phone because I wanted the latest Samsung phone and have the ability to root.I live in the US. So I am still learning about the different firmwares and csc code.

That's my problem. I can't seem to find out on how to change it to pro.

You'll need to root, then use the Phone Info app which has a built-in CSC changer which can change it to PRO, however keep in mind the rooting will void your warranty and the change of CSC will reset your device to factory settings.

Is it not possible to do it without root?

Sm-g935fzbuxsg cant find dis stock rom helpp
Hello ive tried to root my s7 edge and successfully works, and for some reason, i turned off the oem unlock in dev options. The time comes when my phone got empty, so i quickly tried to charge it but it stuck on s7 edge logo and has a red font above saying "custom binary block by frp lock" i managed to get through it by flashing stock rom from sammobile but on the first boot, my s7 edge was so laggy and cant even make a simple home button it takes so much time for keys to function and there are popping up errors "com.sec.epdg has stopped" and " IMS Service has stopped" and in notifications bar saying "upgrading android/updating android" something like that. luckily i be able to turn it off and go for factory data reset. but after setting the phone, my settings got messed up like theres 2 application, 2 device maintenance and and other additional settings like t roaming,service provider which i dont see on my settings before it all messed up. I also realize that i cant find the fast charging settings which explains why its not so fast when i do charging. Can anyone please help me? You think i flash the wrong stock rom? My original product code is SM-G935FZBUXSG and i cant seem to find it in sammobile. sorry for my english but any help would be so much appreciated.
Btw, my phone was bought from UAE and im pretty sure that my model number is SM-G935FD. My phone is dual sim.However, when i chose the SM-G935FD category in sammobile, i noticed that there were no UAE country, so i choose to download the stock rom coming from vietnam because at the box of the phone it says manufactured in vietnam so i think thats what pushed me to download it. please help
