What's the difference between SM-G950F and SM-G950FD ? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hey people,
It may be a dumb question but I need to ask it lol
As I defined at the topic title, what's the difference between SM-G950F and SM-G950FD ?
I will flash the stock ROM into my S8 (SM-G950FD) but in the official firmware website, it doesn't have an availible firmware in my own country. (TURKEY)
SM-G950F has firmwares from Turkey but SM-G950FD does not have one.
Would it crash my phone if I flash SM-G950F firmware in?

The F series are single sim model - only one Sim card.
The FD series are dual(2) SIM model - 2 SIM cards
As far as I am aware it's the same firmware for both F and FD models.

SM-G935FD can use SM-G935F FW?

Hi guys!
I've bought my S7 Edge SM-G935FD(Duos) at Amazon.com, but the device is made in Vietnam. I live in Brazil, so I researched for a ZTO (Brazilan) FW on SamMobile site and found no FW for this model, but there are some FWs for SM-G935F model. Does anybody know if I can flash a stock ZTO FW for SM-G935F(Single SIM) on my SM-G935FD(Dual SIM)? And if is there any advise for me about how to do it?
Some people here in Brazil said that doing this I could brick the device, does it proceed?
Grateful.

can i use on the sm-g955fd (dual sim) firmware from sm-g955f (single sim)

just ordered myself a s8 plus sm-g955fd model
i can see that for the uk there is not as much updates for it but on the sm-g955f model there is much more
so can i flash sm-g955f firmware on it so i can get more ota updates , is it a good idea ?
anyone
As far as I am away there is no difference between the F and FD firmware.

CRL3 firmware for S8 SM-G950FD

Hi,
I have SM-G950FD model of S8 and I want to flash CRL3. However, on sammobile, CRL3 is not available for "SM-G950FD" for INS CSC code. It is available for SM-G950F model number. Can I flash that firmware to my phone?

Yes you can flash, but you will lose dual sim, since the FD model is dual sim and F model is single sim.

Actually, both devices use the same firmware. Matter of fact, I just flashed G950FXXU4CRL3_G950FOXM4CRL1 on my DUO S8, followed by the Pie updates.

Yup, it's because the FD and the F uses the same CPU, ram...

That's correct. Unlike the 950U, which comes with a Snapdragon processor.
Slightly off topic, but does anyone know if the F or FD firmwares can be safely flashed on the N model (Korean variant, exynos)?
The N variant firmware on SAMmobile is always waaaay behind the other models.

Help needed - Imported s8 network issue in india

I bought s8 (G950N-Exynos-singled sim) from south korea though i live in india. Here voLTE wasn't working before, then i flashed a custom rom hadesrom one ui by corsicanu. Now voLTE works almost fine.
But the network service of my device is very poor than indian s8 (i compared it with indian s8). I was wondering if i can flash the bootloader and modem of indian s8(G950FD) via odin .
But the problems are 1. my phone is singled sim, 2. there are no such indian s8 firmware of android 9 on sammobile.com.
What if i flash the bl and cp of G950F ?

voLTE is a carrier specific service. if it wasnt working on your previous ROM and is currently working on the new one, then the dev baked in the goodness of voLTE on your ROM where it was absent prior in the previous ROM.
Anyways, as far as what will happen if you flash the G950F firmware, it will boot and then the phone will think its a G950F. Thats it. Exynos processor S8's can accept the F firmware
