[Q] Firmware country code change

Hi All,
I bought S5 in UAE, but the firmware shows Hongkong code.
When I checked S5 today at another shop while I did the hands on, I found that after the Android status, I saw United Arab Emirates section under that I saw two status mentioned starts with TR I guess.
So here, my mobile is in use at UAE the firmware of hongkong..my doubt is will I get firmware updates from my service provider regularly?
Is this a really an issue?
What do I need to do?
Thanks
Surendran

[Q] Just got S5 and needs help (G900FD)

Hello guys! I just bought a phone (Galaxy S5 G900FD) and its parallel imported as international version. Ofcourse its brand new.
I went to 'about phone' and it clearly says Arab emirates. I bought numerous of phones before and this is kinda look strange since I've never seen like any phone actually says like 'Arab emirates' below 'about phone' section. So I typed things I don't understand as below, please tell me what are those?
It says
1)
United Arab Emirates
TRA ID: 0016333/08
TA: 0000000000/00
2)
Security software version
MDF v1.0 Release 3
VPN v1.4 Release 1
3)

4)
Build Number
KOT49H.G900FDXXU1ANJ2
Is this phone safe to use? Can anyone tells me what those '4' sections meaning?
Thanks guys and sorry for my poor English!!! Thanks in advance!!

I'm base in New Zealand then do I need to get NZ rom to use a phone?

Use phone info app from playstore
U can find the CSC country there if u want to flash the most compatible firmeware
Unless n otherwise dont care about those info much bro
N it says your on kitkat 4.4.2
Update your device for lolipop if u want (u must revieve the OTA update)
Those are some buildnumbers from samsung @goufcustom
No u dont wanna flash the NZ rom
But Always flash the rom with original CSC code
For example mine it is BTU (UK n Ireland)
Find your original CSC code from phoneinfo app
It is not recommended but it is the best way

It's safe. Nothing to be afraid of.
I bought my S5 Duos in Dubai few days ago with the same info about UAE in the phone's about section.

Can't find Stock Firmware for dual Sim model SM935FD

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
free upload
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?

Which right firmware for my Sm-t239?

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)
