Greetings! Is it possible to flash a firmware that does not coincide with the specified model number of the S6 Edge+? I am planning to flash the Global Version (SM-G928G) of the S6 Edge Plus to my Korean (SM-G928L) Variant from a former LGU+ Carrier plan. There are a lot of things that bother me with the current firmware installed on my phone as it prevents me from obtaining access to the following:
1. No Sim Toolkit Menu
2. No Mobile Network Settings
3. No Voice-over-LTE option
4. Outdated Firmware Updates
Looking forward to your opinions and thoughts. Thank you and God Bless!

Need to know how to update my phone it's a rooted galaxy s6 edge cellcom and it doesnt show up any downloads on Samsung page and neither does my carrier, or my exact model number but I have seen ones with the same shorter model number which is sm-g925r6 is there a custom rom that's safe to flash or even a way to update it not being able to find my carrier, by the way cellcom is a smaller carrier which is CDMA and runs on their own towers, but all across the united states. It's currently running 5.0.2 and I've updated it ota once but it still has the same android version. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Hi
I just purchased a S6 edge+ SM-G928A which is I believe from the at&t network in the usa, I purchased it from
a electronics retailer on ebay, the phone works perfect and came with MM installed however I want
to upgrade to Nougat and the at&t software updater refuses to download which I believe is down to
me not having a at&t sim card, something that is impossible for me as I am from the UK and currently use the three network.
My questions are
is it possible to upgrade the firmware and if so can I flash the usa firmware or do I have to find one that is international or european?
I semi familiar with using odin and flashing etc so that part I dont really need help with, I just need advice on flashing the right rom .
could i for instance flash 3 uks firmware for this phone? or another uk provider.
any advice appreciated.
Greetings!
Just wanted to ask whether if it's possible to flash the Global Firmware - "SM-G928G" as a means to debrand my "SM-G928L" S6 Edge Plus (LGU+ Variant).
The phone's carrier status had reached its end-of-contract to LGU+. It also accepts any Simcard inserted and is Carrier-Lock Free.
However, a multitude of questions suppress me from flashing the firmware, leaving me with the following inquiries:
Pre/Post-Flash Questions:
1. If I flash the Global Version on the Phone (India), will I still retain the no carrier-lock status?
2. Is it possible to flash from one firmware model to the other? (G928L > G928G).
3. Are there significant differences on the Global Version and the Carrier-specific Version that I currently have?
Here are some of the reasons as to why I want to debrand the phone:
1. Several Carrier/Modem Settings are inaccessible.
2. Several Phone Settings are inaccessible.
3. Firmware Storage Allocation is taking up all the space on my device.
Looking forward to your quick response. Thank you!
I was wondering as to which version does the GLOBAL FIRMWARE of the S6 Edge Plus falls into? And would it be possible to execute a flash-over on the KOREAN FIRMWARE *currently installed* (SM-G928L) to the GLOBAL FIRMWARE of the S6 Edge Plus as I am forecasting on flashing it due to several issues hogging the capabilities of my phone, this includes the following:
1. NO CARRIER/SIM TOOLKIT
2. NO VOLTE (VOICE OVER LTE)
3. PRE-INSTALLED BLOATWARES (LGU+ APPS)
4. SAMSUNG SERVICES ARE LINKED TO KOREAN SERVERS
Hi guys, need some advice on S10+.
I'm from an Asia country and last year I bought a new S10+ from a online seller which does grey imports for mobile phones, because I want a Snapdragon version over the Exynos, which is what most Asia countries get.
The Model number (SM-975U) and Baseband version (G975USQS3CTB6) are indicating this is a US variant but I can't tell which carrier it is because there is no carrier logo on the phone or when I turn on the phone, no bloatwares as well.
The only down side is this Baseband/carrier does not have updates since March 2020. I tried checking for updates but got nothing.
What I try to get:
1. Latest original firmware which will continue to update itself (hopefully)
2. No carrier bloatware
3. No need root or custom roms (Doesnt go well with banking apps)
I have experience rooting and flashing custom firmware on my previous Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but I can't remember if I have done unlocking bootloader before, lol.
Need advice on:
1. Which firmware should I choose?
2. I remember XDA forums used to have useful Guide under Sticky Threads but now I don't see it. I hope this guide will be able to help me with what I am trying to do.
3. I probably sound stupid here, is there any flashable settings file that is friendly to Asian region/telco? I am noticing a bit of network weakness on my phone, I hope its just me.
Thanks to anyone who reads this.
You've aquired the US Unlocked Snapdragon variant, it's not associated with any US carrier and it's not bootloader unlocked. Flashing updated FW is likely your best bet, it's available here.

The only other option for an update is Samsung's SmartSwitch. Whether or not it's compatible depends on your local service provider.
