Hello,
I own a galaxy S5 SM-G900F running a the stock 6.0.1 with security patch from 1 april 2017 (build version G900FXXS1CQD2)
AP: G900FXXS1CQD2
CP: G900FXXS1CQD2
CSC: G900FNEE1CQB9 (NEE means this is the Findland region)
I would like to install the latest firmware version (build version G900FXXS1CQH1) but this is a version for the Netherlands region (NTL). It also includes a more recent security patch from 1 August 2017.
My questions:
Can I flash with Odin, the build version G900FXXS1CQH1 which is a different region ?
Will I lose all the settings? (According to my readings, flashing an official firmware with Odin does not erase the data, this is like an OTA update)
Does it include the French language?
Thank you in advance
Philippe
Yes you can flash firmwares from any region. You also won't lose any data after flashing it. French language is included too. Hope it helps.

hi
I had problems during reflash n9005 before.
i had version N9005XXUFNG2 and wanted to update to Poland XEO version N9005XXUEND3. Somebody reply me i can use it and i almost kill my note3 during flash.
Then somebody explain i cant downgrade from NG2 to ND3 so i reflash back to correct version and let i to wait.
question 1:
my current firmware is N9005XXUGNG1_N9005ATOGNG1_N9005XXUGNG1_HOME.tar.md5, phone is probably from Austria A1 network (i bought it in local store with papers)
now there is update to android 5.0. Of course i got info and tried to update phone via wifi but after it download firmware (over 810mb) during recovery flash it end at 29% with ERROR message than suggest to use KIES so can i now use POLAND XEO firmware:
Code:
Model SM-N9005
Model name GALAXY Note 3 LTE
Country Poland
Version Android 5.0
Changelist 3643614
Build date Wed, 25 Feb 2015 12:57:23 +0000
Product code XEO
PDA N9005XXUGBOB6
CSC N9005XEOGBOA4

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/43186/N9005XXUGBOA5_N9005XEOGBOA4_XEO/
if YES, which file should i use B6 or A5 (i think B6 but update from Austria A1 for n9005 is A5)?
question 2:
my second N9005 is problably from Ireland Meteor still with 4.4.2 currect: N9005XXUENC2_N9005METENB1_N9005XXUENC2_HOME.tar.md5

Hi,
I'm in Qatar and I've SM-N9005 with Baseband N9005XXUGNG1. Can I flash official update firmware from other countries like Saudi Arabia with firmware N9005XXUGBOEA?
I would really appreciate if someone could give me link to some kind of tutorial on reading firmware compatibility issues.
Regards

I have been trying to find an answer to this for a long while, but I just can't. There are some ROMs which are meant for 32 GB devices, and then there are some ROMs which are meant for 16 GB devices. If you download a ROM which is meant for 16 GB Note 3, then obviously you won't be able to flash it on a 32 GB Note 3. And the firmwares listed on sammobile.com don't say which are which!
So I have given up, when a new base pops up, I simply head over to the Alexandar's topic to see whether he has complied the newer version or not, and he does that so fast. That is as stock as a ROM can get, other than ROMs from sammobile.com, so I don't really bother any more.
Hi guz,
I want to downgrade my NOTE 4 from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. I googled it and did show one of the thread on this forum using ODIN method for that. My problem is to find the correct firmware version for note 4.
My device info is given below
Model Number: SM-N910F
Baseband version: N910FXXU1DPB1
Build Number: MMB29M.N910FXXU1DPE1
Please help me on finding the correct firmware or suggest me on identifying the possible versions.
Thank you.
Go to sammobile and find the last released 5.1.1 firmware for your device.

Thank you.

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.

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.

Hi All,
I am looking to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S5 to Marshmallow manually ( I got through an operator in Costa Rica and they are not close to release it).
My phone's model is SM-G900F:
AP: G900FXXU1BOJ1
CP: G900FXXU1BOJ1
CSC: G900FCRC1BOJ1
I found official firmwares on Sammobile for my model but not match my country, so, I am not sure if by installing any of those I will break my phone. I am pretty new on this matter.
Can anyone clarify this? Can I move forward and install it without any issues?
Regards,

Its doest matter... as long u flash the correct model for ur device.. if u came from kitkat or lollipop and want to upgrade to marshmallow u need to flash bootloader n modem for marshmallow first before flash the firmware...
If firmware from sammobile its already included with bootloader n modem (as i know its was included)..
My original csc is XME... now im using BTU and moded rom (xXx rom)
Send from SM G900F xXx 5.1 Odex Boeffla 2.1 beta3 Twrp 3.0.2-0

Hello folks,
I would like to update my S7 Edge (SM-G935F) to the latest Nougat firmware which if I'm not mistaken arrived UK BTU, which is:
PDA - G935FXXU1DQB3
CSC - G935FOXA1DQB1
I would like to install it via Odin, the most stock way possible (don't want root or custom recovery), just because that I'm tired that it haven't arrived OTA in my country (PT).
But I have a few questions regarding this manually update to the latest firmware of another country:
1) Manually installing the latest update from BTU UK will stop me from receiving future OTA updates? and if no, will I be receiving the OTA updates in the future from UK or PT??
2) My device with the currently firmware has no bloatware from any network (was bought unlocked), if I upgrade to the latest firmware from BTU UK, will I still have no bloatware? (or bloat will be installed?)
3) Will I have any problem from installing a firmware from other country (being both for the same model: SM-G935F)?
Thank you very much in advance! :good:
I have everything ready to make the manual flash, just want to clear this things out before I do it.
Thanks

Each country or region has it's own CSC which can be easily flashed
by itself without the need to odin flash a different country's full firmware.
The only time you need to think about bloatware is if you flash a specific
carrier's firmware like perhaps vodaphone and most other carriers add
their own bloatwares. But if you only flash the regional firmware for your
country or region like BTU UK you will not end up with bloatware.
Good luck and happy flashing!

Future OTA's will not be a problem if you have flashed
the proper CSC for your country before trying to update
future firmwares.

So you are saying that first I should change my CSC to the UK, then flash the latest firmware via Odin and won't have to worry about future updates? Can't I simply flash the latest UK BTU firmware and it will change the CSC and get me the latest firmware in once?

If your s8+ csc is ZTO (Brazil), i think it will probably be okay since it's included in the OXM multi-csc.

What is the procedure for manual installation? I have not root, not twrp. thanks. My current version is G955FXXS4CRLB
My CSC is EVR (EE UK). Can I flash this using "home csc" without wiping the phone? What CSC will I have if I do this? (I'd prefer to be on DBT because it usually gets faster updates and I don't have time to wipe my phone now).

I have added the guide for ROM installation now.
Any feedback yet ? Is it worth to flash ?
As I had read, on Pie there are a lot of functions from Oreo were removed.
Is there on Pie surround shot for VR in camera app ?
Is root or debloat possible ? In beta versions there was a problem rooting and removing bloatware.

You will probably end up with BTU since EVR is not included in multi-csc and wipe.
Can anyone please make flashable zip for stock recovery? Currently got no access to pc.. Thanks in advance
