Hello
Please I would like to know if I can use the Note 4 N910G in a country which is not the region it was made for.
A network with very good data cap and I price in my country operates it's 4G LTE on the Band28. I have a Note4 N910C.
Only the models N910G and N910U has the Band28 and devices model are not available in any market in my country.
I looked to buy a pre-used N910G from India (Region it was made for) but a sticker on the box which the seller showed me is confusing. (Pic attached)
Can anyone confirm if my Country Network SIM would work on the device without any further Unlocking required?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I bought my S5 (SM-G900F) online and am now unsure if it is the right model for my area (Australia). Are the models roughly similar enough for me to download a ROM or baseband even for something closer my region or carrier (Telstra) would I be more likely to brick my phone?

You can flash firmware from another models but it is safer to flash firmware for your own model.
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to download firmware for your device and flash via Kies/Odin.
You can ask your service provider for the supporting frequency bands of your network, and compare with available bands of your phone (see this link or check with *#2263#). If you want, you can even add more bands to your phone.
So there shouldn't be a problem with flashing my SM-G900F with SM-G900I firmware? I just have a slightly lacklustre reception with my 900F and want to see if flashing Telstra's version of the firmware would help in the slightest.
I have bought motherboard of note 3 version 9005, 32 gb with lte function from China. But whatever I do I can't get any lte working in Israel. No matter what career. By baseband it has basebands for all careers but never get lte(4G). Even Though I updated to the latest android lollipop 5.0. Now in settings it has written lte/wcdma/gsm. but actually I can't have lte.
My motherboard region is Hong Kong (TGY), China but I am in Israel.
1. I want to have lte function.
2. Hebrew interface of the phone.
Please help.

Well, it's both. It's for the international model (n9005) but it is for Thailand Region - with Asian firmware you need to be careful as a number of them have different partitions to rest of the world and they can cause problems.
Unless you wish to get into the nuts and bolts of ROM updates, best to stick with the same region your phone currently is set to - there's an app called Phone INFO Samsung which can give you all the details about your set up.
I bought a brand new N910C.
It matches all of the LTE bands for my Carrier (Docomo).
I had a Galaxy S5 Active......Full bars.....LTE/VOLTE even in my house or office.
Now with the same sim card, carrier, service, I am getting one bar (if lucky) and 4G (not LTE or VOLTE).
I have tried other N910C modems.......no improvement.
Two questions:
1. So.....can I use a modem from a Note Edge? Would a Note Edge Modem.bin file work from a Japanese carrier? If not, is there a way to port a modem file or modify my existing modem file to be more Japanese friendly?
2. Is there anyway to Put VOLTE on this unlocked phone? I want to be able to make video calls again.
Note 4's are not carried by any carrier in Japan, they instead opted for the Note Edge (SCL24 or SC-01G).
Anything I can do...at all?

If you flash Poland rom phone will start showing u lte instead of 4g, in my knowledge between 4g & lte are same, csc decide what to show in notification bar, in uae VOLTE is not supported so no idea, i m from uae, but in uae phone when I flash Poland rom it was start to show me lte instead of 4g.I don't know i answered your question but.....
Thanks.......downloading it now......will give it a try.
OK downloaded it.....installed it.......now I have LTE.
No signal improvement.......and no VOLTE......I need to find a firmware for both LTE and VOLTE.
FYI........I gave up on this project. Sold the phone to someone in the USA to use on straight talk....they are happy.
so for those who got their S8 UNLOCKED from ebay\amazon..etc there is a chance that you might have got the version of the S8 of a country that doesn't support it yet, thus it will not work on your phone, for e.g. (AFG- Afghanistan, EGY- Egypt...etc).
So to solve this issue we need to flash the firmware of a country that has SAMSUNG PAY working on an EXYNOS device (G950F, G950FD).
Last year that fixed the issue for me on my S7 Edge G935F.
An example of a country firmaware that have Samsung Pay working is XSG - UAE
So if someone can provide us with the firmware files for both G950F and G950FD , that will be so much of help for many of us.
Also we need ODIN that works for the S8.
Thank you!

I think you are looking for this firmware -

Hi,
Are you sure that flashing the rom of specific country will make samsung pay work on S8 or S8 Plus
I have an Exynos S8 Plus SMG955FD which was bought in Nepal but there was no pre installed samsung pay as it has not launched its service for S-Pay in Nepal.
If i flash the indian firmware for Exyons S8 Plus on the same Nepal Device as becasue In india now it S-pay service is launched and supported.
Will this work ? 100 %
Both Indian And Nepal device are same model SM G955FD and both country support carries of both countries as well. Only the CSC code is different i.e. India - G955FXXU1AQE5 & Nepal - G955FXXU1AQDG
Since almost all the international S8/S8+s are on the multi CSC ROM, all you need to do is find a SIM from one of the SPAY supported countries (India, Singapore, UAE, UK works) and reset your phone (preferably from the recovery menu) and put in the SIM and reboot. All the regional features are activated, and you get SPAY to work even after changing your SIMs.
I am currently using the India SPAY and it works with all cards (Chase, Amex, Citi are what I have checked). Of course you won't get Samsung rewards since its a program only available in US.
tl;dr No need to flash ROMs. Only reset required.

I'll try this but will this make Samsung Pay work for only that region? I.e. if I use an Indian SIM will it activate the Indian version of Samsung Pay or can I use the US version which has rewards
