Suppose in the case I bricked my phone and I don't know the baseband version of it. Now what is the option to recover? Flash stock firmware via Odin but don't know the baseband??? What will happens if I flash another country stock firmware?? Will the phone hard brick?? Or it will work fine?? Thank you
The worst case is that your sim card will not work with that software. This is only if your phone is carrier locked.
If it is unlocked, or neverlocked as others put it, then you can flash any firmware you like, as long as it is for your respective phone model.

Make sure that this phone isn't locked to O2 or any UK carrier.

You should flash Nepal firmware then. It would give you better (more match) CSC code. The CSC (Consumer Software Customization) code contains the info about software packages specific to a particular region, carrier branding and also APN (Access Point Name) settings for data connection.
In my case, my S4 i9500 was made in Vietnam and when I received it, it had a Thailand firmware on it. It is a network unlocked phone. I live in USA. The first lollipop firmware came out was for Russia. So I flahsed the Russian firmware. My CSC showed that it is a russian phone. I used that phone on AT&T network that available in USA, China and Korea, and I had no problem.
Nothing will happen.

Are you really to suggest him to flash Nepali firmware on UK phone? I'll unlock it (the carrier-lock) first and then flash other countries' firmware if need.

Sorry to bump this up but im having problems with my s6 edge (Maybe because of this).
I recently acquired a phone from a relative from UK. The OS is android 7.0 and the carrier is three.co.uk (H3G), we have reset the phone to its factory settings and accidentally didnt noticed that it do auto update on the OS, then this bootloops starts to occur.
The phone isnt network-locked because the phone can receive signals, messages and phone calls on local sim.
Now upon browsing around SamMobile, There is an available Firmware for this mobile and even the firmware which is available to Philippines but only ver. 6.0.1
Is this possible to use the PH one or still i go to UK(h3g)?
help please
once i take the firmware from other countries and then i install to my phone,
does my phone will going to operate that firmware even if it come from another country
because i tried to find firmware according to my respective country unfortunately i missed it.
so please i need your assistance ..please
Playing with my new M3 and ive noticed one discrepancy. It has a working B009 C100 (eu firmware) installed but when i enter the dialler for the show country information the country code is spcseas.
I bought this from Hong Kong (sent to the uk) but will this different hw country affect anything such as OTA updates? If so, how do i go about changing it (im guessing i need to unlock, root etc)
Im used to rooting and custom roms on Nexus devices but Huwawei is entirely new territory for me.
(My ultimate goal is to get Nougat but it doesnt seem to be arriving OTA and every single firmware finder one ive tried has broken Bluetooth).
I have an s7 edge handset that was originally on the uk Three network, but is now sim unlocked (I can use an O2 sim in it with no issues, but it shows the 3 splash screen on boot) but it hasnt yet recieved the oreo update,m and given it only got nougat in February, I doubt we will see it soon
So Ive been reading up about manually flashing Oreo via Odin, as there are releases of Oreo for other uk versions (unlocked/other networks etc.), and it seems I cn flash a BTU uk version ( G935FXXU2ERE8 )onto my Three network S7 edge (G935FXXS2DRA9 ) using Odin
I just want to double check that this will work, wont brick the phone, and will essentially turn it into a factory unlocked model, which will recieve OTAs via samsung directly.
Thanks to anyone who can help
I'm moving to Germany from South America. Besides the fact that lastest version available here is still CRC7 (eye-roll) Would it be a good idea to flash German unlocked firmware, or is it exactly the same? (perhaps the modem is optimised for the local bands?)
"Past-switcher" here. I ended up flashing the German-version of the Oreo update when they were the first to get it. I didn't notice any difference with my UK-based S8 (Exynos).
I think unless you actually have any issues, i wouldn't bother flashing. Logically, if your phone supports the bands, it will work fine.
Hello Guys,
I got my s8 a few months ago and have being traveling around the same region, I had installed a custom rom and used XME firmware (for malaysia) and recently went to India for a holiday and realised any local sim that I had purchased would not working saying the sim is locked or something along those lines. I just ended up getting data roaming since I didn't have much choice.
I was wondering if I were to flash the rom again, which baseband should I select which would work in all?
Thanks ^^
