I've bought an used Italian Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F, CSC "HUI") and I want to know, what unbranded firmware I could install on it without bricking my phone (Would need to install an Italian unbranded firmware or could I install an German unbranded firmware version, since I live in Germany? Would that even make that much of a difference, whether I have an Italian or German firmware if it is unbranded)?

Hello all,
I own a Galaxy Note 3 which has an Orange branded rom (France carrier), and I'm thinking of flashing a stock unbranded rom of France.
I'd like to know if there is going to be a region lock problem and also if the knox will be triggered.
You see I'm living in Greece and not in France. (If the region matters) ?
Thanks in advance.
No and No to both questions.
You can flash an official unbranded ROM over an official branded ROM. If you stay in the same region (EU) or even more safely, the same country, then this won't trigger KNOX.
Just grab the newest XEF and you'll be fine.
(I get people to do this with TNL and PHN on a daily basis)
Hi all, Im not sure if im posting in the right section, I am new to forumns, I have a samsung galaxy s5 G900F, I am in the UK but cannot get update for lollipop via samsung kies 3 or OTA. All it says is latest updates already installed. My samsung was bought in italy but was unlocked to all networks. My build number is KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9, is the reason it is not updating because its from Italy and that I have to wait for Italy to release their update?
Well, yea if your ROM is Italian then you need to wait for the Italian update
Or flash a UK ROM, in which case you might as well flash the stock Lollipop ROM from sammobile or here XDA
Yes, your rom is italian no carrier, in italy for now lolipop was released only for some carrier(Vodafone and H3g)
Thanks for your reply, I am searching for the UK ROM and found BTU - is BTU for no carrier? also do I need to Root my phone to install the ROM?
Will it break OTA and Kies firmware recognition and updates after flashing from a stock German Vodafone carrier rom G900FXXU1BNL9 to UK unbranded G900FXXU1BOD3?
I've had that issue with an S1 before, but it didn't really matter as it was out of warranty.
EDIT: I think I have a semi answer if I change the CSC via the rom as I did with my S1 it disables OTA and Kies, but is it fully restored when the original CSC is restored?
I got a three branded s6 Edge + and the three branding really annoys me. I dont feel like i have the need to root the phone but is there a way to unbrand the phone?
I tried to find the BTU version for sweden on sammobile but i only found the three version.
So can i just go with a UK BTU version or should i just wait for a swedish one to get released?
Use Odin to flash an unbranded firmware. Download the firmware from sammobile for your model.
Hi,
I am thinking about buying the Galaxy S8 (unlocked version) but it is very expensive in my country (Hungary): it is around 890 Euros from official sources.
On the other hand the German Amazon site now sells the Galaxy S8 for 629 Euros with free shipping to Hungary.
The Galaxy S8 version sold in Hungary is SM-G950FZSAXEH, while the version sold in Germany is SM-G950FZSADBT.
The question is, will I face any difficulties if I buy the German version instead of the Hungarian one?
Does the German version include the Hungarian language? If somebody has the German version, can you please check whether the Hungarian language is there?
Based on the specifications the two phones seem to be the same (eg. CPU type, supported bands, etc).
Thanks for help!
