Is it possible to flash the international snapdragon variant's firmware on the g900v without any bloatware etc?

I is possible to install a HongKong (TGY) firmware through Odin to my Galaxy S5 G900F which currently has UAE (XSG) Firmware
if fw was for a snapdragon cpu then yes
most if not all s5 snapdragon phones have same base software, the only diff is bloatware/carrier specific apps.
and maybe bootloader(ATT HAS IT LOCKED) and least likely modem but they can be flashed seperately or afterwards if need be
Hello guy, may i know what is the global firmware without carrier bloat?
I know sammobile but what is the code for non carrier bloat (Snapdragon variant)?
Does anyone have recent experience flashing carrier firmware to the unlocked (U1) model, especially on BL5? Does it still require combination firmware or can I just flash the latest AT&T firmware from Updato using regular Odin?
It would just be regular firmware from at&t. The same way if you wanna flash back to the unlocked firmware. No combination files are needed.
Is it safe to upgrade firmware targeted for one Galaxy S10+ device to another device?
Assuming both phones are either running Snapdragon or both phones are running Exynos.
Example:
- buy SM-G9750/DS (China/Hong Kong version)
- flash firmware from SM-G975U1 (US Unlocked version)
Will this be safe? What is the procedure? Has anyone attempted it?
Will I lose Dual SIM capability?
What are the potential benefits of doing so?
Will this also enable more bands (which are not enabled on China/Hong Kong version of the phone? example band 66 and band 71?).
Is there other way to enable those bands (CDMATool does not show those bands in selection).
Bands are hardware, not firmware. Flashing different firmware won't enable more bands. Flashing different firmware won't get you anything I'm afraid. They all effectively share the same firmware. All you'll do its cause potential issues.
I know the Exynos dual SIM variants share thw same firmware as the single SIM Exynos variants. But I'm not sure about the G9750/DS and G975U1 .
Would it be possible to flash american stock without updating the binary revision in the bootloader on a Japanese S8 (SCV36)?
