[Q] Which region?

Hello,
I'm a little confused about which region SM-N9005 I have.
In phone settings -> about device it shows:
Model number: SM-N9005
Baseband version: N9005XXUBMI5
Build number: JSS15J.N9005ZHUBMI7
In Kies,
Current firmware version: PDA:MI7 PHONE:MI5 CSC:MI7 (TGY)
Latest firmware version: PDA:MJ8 PHONE:MJ4 CSC:MJ8 (TGY)
After a little research I have found out that TGY is the region code for Hong Kong, and the Build number seems to verify this.
But what about Baseband version? Doesn't XX mean European region?
I bought this phone on eBay. So its quite possible someone fiddled with it to make it work here (BTW I'm in UK).
Can anyone shed any light, before I flash the wrong region firmware via ODIN and brick my phone?
Also I have CF-Auto-Rooted (Thanks Chainfire), which is why I'm not updating through Kies.
Thanks to all in advance,
Jason

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, but I'm still unsure which Region firmware I need to flash. (I'm talking about stock firmware here).
If I flash The Hong Kong firmware, will my phone still work here in the UK? Will it change my phone language to Chinese?
I understand flashing the wrong region for your device could result in a brick. Is this correct?
I really would like a definitive answer before I do something stupid.
Thanks all

Update
Just a quick update..
I read through the entire CF-Auto-Root thread (50 pages!). A couple of posts mentioned that I could update through Kies if I first factory reset my phone.
I did so, and the update succeeded! I then proceeded to CF-Auto-Root again, to regain root access. Joy!
Now my 'About device' screen looks like this:
Baseband version: N9005ZHUDMJ4
Build number: JSS15J.N9005ZHUDMJ8
A couple of questions.
The baseband version is not correct for my region (UK, Europe (XX))
Will this have adverse effects on my connection to networks?
Is it possible to flash only the correct baseband? If so, how?
Thank you all for taking time to help me

Head over to samobile and download a new version of your Firmware and flash it with ODIN. Just search the forums on ODIN and you'll find a lot of tutorials.

1) In the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, open the Menu > 'Firmware Browser', you will get the latest firmware for your device (the latest one is on the top of the list).
2) In theory the answer should be Yes but it may depend on many other factors..

Which version i should install.
i have hongkong version pre installed..
i want to install indian.
give me link plz

Which version i should install.
i have hongkong version pre installed..

give me link plz

But you won't get more signal bars at home... If this is your only problem, leave it. I guess you will screw something up flashing your phone.

Unfortunately Hongkong device is not compatible with another firmware. If you want to flash Indian firmware over your Hong Kong device, you should flash with the PIT file.

Downgrading SM-910F from marshmallow to lollipop

Hi guz,

Use any unbranded firmware mate, UK for example. By unbranded I mean try those which don't come with any carrier labelling, you know like O2 etc.

I have downloaded the following build
Code:
Model: SM-N910F
Country: United Kingdom (EE)
Version: Android 5.1.1
Product code: EVR
PDA: N910FXXU1COI3
CSC: N910FEVR1COJ1
Will this work, mate?

Yes, unless EE is a carrier name it should be unbranded.

Installing the EE firmware will also install EE's own remote phone locking software in the persdata partition (Which is a real pain to remove as it will keep coming back even if you flash a non EE firmware) as well as EE's bloatware.
Use the BTU firmware for a clean unbranded phone.

Thank you for the valuable insight. Its a good thing since I have delayed the downgrade.

Hi,
Thank you for that. Ive attempted to go to the settings and see if the update is there manually and i get a message that says " Software has stopped working". I think i need to flash the phone entirely. Is there a stock odin file out for this update that I can flash via odin for my device?? If not, i have been unable to locate the AP, CSC files and the 2 other that I need to flash the device back o stock. Can anyone assist? Im just worried about not flashing the right file and bricking it.
