Hi i have a 9500 S4 Exynos version, the international version, i recently upgraded to Lineageos but i want to go back to stock but i don't know which Rom to choose because of the region code. i live in dominican republic and i don't want to install the one for my country because it will probably be filled with bloatware from Claro (local carrier) and i don't know if it will probably lock the phone, the phone is factory unlocked by the way. Can someone can pass a link for a Stock rom running lollipop with the international csc?
Download CSC CAU from sammobile.com, but I cannot provide a link due to site rules. CAU is for countries in the Caucasus mountain range in Europe, and is probably your best bet to be bloat free. You may still wish to download the Dominican Republic firmware anyway, in case of issues with the CAU firmware.
I'll try that

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)
ive seen other threads on this topic but none really answered properly.
I live in Ireland and bought my phone unlocked from the UK , i want to get my stock firmware back but i cant find one that suits my model and version. So would i
harm my device if i used a firmware from a different country that has the correct firmware i want????
s4 i9505
If the phone is unlocked you shouldn't have any issues. Except with CSC maybe.
whats CSC exactly?
Consumer Service Code, which is what Samsung uses to customize the firmware for a particular region. With devices that are locked to their carriers this also means the apps that the carrier wishes to add to the firmware. In your case, since your S4 is not locked to a carrier you can install any stock ROM you wish from any region. For example, my unlocked I9505 was originally on O2 in the UK (CSC O2U). When I purchased it from its original owner it came to me with Slovenian firmware (SI Mobil, CSC SIM). I subsequently flashed unbranded firmware onto the device and ended up with a device that thought it was Swiss (CSC AUT). In this last instance, three Swiss-specific apps were added that are not found in the other versions of the firmware. These apps were added because the CSC reported itself to the firmware installer and said, "install these apps as well". Had I changed the CSC to BTU I likely would have gotten some UK-specific firmware.
Hi. I bought s7 edge in Thailand.
I was trying to find its stock firmware to get my phone a new fresh start. So far, I only found a link to Singapore firmware.
Here is from my phone

I heard you can flash single Sim firmware into dual one, but I was just afraid and prefer original firmware (before I root it soon hahaha)
Any idea where I can find one for my Thailand model.

OLB covering Malaysia/Philippines/Singapore/Thailand/Vietnam. I believe your latest update is of February 2016
Download Phone INFO Samsung from playstore and look for the active CSC. It has got a country shown as well.
I have a FD version as well with XME (Malaysia) CSC. But from what I have researched, for Galaxy S7 Edge specifically, Samsung has been releasing OTA updates (three times; once a month since Feb) for OJV countries (Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,South Africa, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey), XSG (united arab emirates) and EU countries (NEE=Netherland, DBT=Germany, LUX=Luxembourg so far)
I have decided to flash the DBT firmware as from the look of firmware updates trend, Galaxies with DBT receive the earliest and most frequent updates from Sammy. Everything is working fine. No Knox triggered. Not too sure about the warranty; i guess it doesn't matter that much since samsung only looks at whether your knox has been triggered.
Good luck
thank you
can I flash German firmware only PDA or i have to flash CSC and MODEM too?
Okay so this is a newbie question, I realise that.
I'll just get right to it. Facts:
I have a S7 Edge bought in Sweden (I live here) from the operator Telia
If I look at samfirmware or updato I can see that two specific Sweden-firmwares, operator "Tre (HTS)" and and one just called "Sweden (VDS)"
I can also see a firmware, that has not been updated since july, called "Nordic Countries (NEE).
So. I gathered that being that Telia doesnt have a specific release in the lists, Tre is not my operator and I dont know what "Sweden (VDS)" means I'd ask what I should use and flash?
I dont care about OTA:s, I want to flash when I choose to and manually..
How should I think and choose?
N
Go with Nordic Countries NEE. I've had NEE firmware on my S7E before I flashed custom rom. I don't know about VDS firmware but with HTS firmware you will get apps like Mitt3, Yelp and few more. Telia uses NEE firmware I remember when I got S4 from Telia I've had NEE firmware. Cheers!
Hi, I rooted my tablet in subject but I flashed a firmware with root feature.
Now in Settings I know that the build is T239XXUAOJ2 but I don't know which is the fimware I have to download to flash into tablet because this tablet has got phone feature and available firmwares in Sammobile are only for Singapore with and without Starhub, United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan and Kenya.
I wonder if for Italian (my country) networks could I fit probably Singapore without Starhub? Or which one?
Thanks for your help..
Where did you get the tablet from?
Ask the seller or whomever that where this tab originally came.
(You could try installing one of them?)
(Remember to have twrp installed and make a backup of your current OS incase something goes wrong in ODIN)
