My device mobile connection is really slow and I'm hoping this will make it faster
I think only U.S. variants can flash another U.S. carriers firmware.
US firmware is snapdragon and international firmware is exynos. So even if someone found a way to trick odin it wouldn't actually run.

I bought my GS5 from Canada which means it's set on canadian LTE bands, now I'm trying to use my phone in UK and it doesn't connect to data network, not even HSPA so I was thinking that flashing a UK firmware might solve the problem because I read somewhere that since GS5 runs on Qualcomm its hardware supports all LTE bands by default but I am still afraid that the wrong firmware might brick my device. Can anyone please confirm that information. thx a lot
As long as that firmware is supported by your specific GS5 model this should not be a problem.
I live in South Africa and have flashed many stock firmwares from different countries.
Just a note... you might not have to reflash the entire ROM but merely flash a supported modem/change the csc. Changin the csc does however factory reset your phone.
Yes but a different csc file from the stock rom version will prevent the phone from receiving ota update. Anyway it's not my phone so I won't take any risks and the owner seems to be fine with hspa connection.
Search sammobile.com for the phone model and stock firmware from UK. Just flash that and then you won't have to change the csc

I'm curious as to whether it is possible to flash SM-G935T (Snapdragon) firmware to a SM-G935F (Exynos) phone...
I'm on T-Mobile in the USA and wanted the Exynos processor and root to block ads. Knox is tripped, I'm not worried about that, but I want to ensure I have all of the network updates / modem installed.
Is it possible to flash the T-Mobile modem (CP file) via Oden? Or are they non-compatible due to the different processors? Would I see any gain? Get WiFi calling? Better reception?
Thanks,
diznanl
just stick with the G935 firmware, its leagues ahead of the bloat rubbish USA carriers ruin phones with. Flashing T-Mobile firmware wont change the band support, you may not get wifi calling though ...
As always, never flash different phone firmware on your phone, it'll never work.
Snapdragon S7 and Exynos S7 should be treated as different phone when flashing firmware.
For wifi calling, this is CSC feature, not modem limitations.

Hello, I would like to know if I can flash my verizon galaxy s8 with tmobile software, or any other model, since I can see that this year all the carriers are using the same model G950U. That is, a single model with different carriers, very similar to how the international version G950F works which is the same model for all carriers in Europe and allows you to change the software through ODIN. I hope someone can help me. Thank you very much.

From what I've gathered is that there's a user data partition that dictates the carrier and Odin currently doesn't allow flashing of this.
Saw this as a comment somewhere here and best I've seen so far.
Personally I think it is just a matter of time before we figure this phone out and will be able to do whatever we want. They already have root for Exynos model and I think now the search is on for modified Odin, as Tehpirate said. I believe they had modified Odin for S7, to do similar stuff, so it's not like starting from scratch.
I hope is the same like the s7 U firmware... That's nice cause I can flash U firmware and get rid of the carrier bloatware.
I have a note 9 and it appears the firmware are universal. I have flashed ATT, Tmobile, Verizon, Unlocked firmwares on my note 9 with no issues. Is this going to be the same going forward?
My question: Is the galaxy s10, s10e, s10+, s10 5g going to have universal firmwares we can flash from all carriers?

Those are all US carriers, so they are all on the same chipset. So it makes sense that their would be no issues with flashing firmware from different carriers. This is because the carriers generally do not get to modify the hardware, just the software.
The firmware issues are more when you get into the non-US versions. So the non-US SD chipset phones might have minor differences, making their firmware iffy, and the variants using the Exynos chipset will definitely have different firmware which just flashing could cause problems.

Is this possible? Since it's a G935F I imagine there is no US version. I find it odd Sammobile doesn't have anything for the US on their site it seems. The rest of the world gets all of the cool stuff Does anyone know the PDA/CSC # of the US version what would match if it even exists? Or what "Countries" firmware I can/should be using on a G935F in the USA?
I'd like to stay rooted and switch between the newest Oreo from Samsung stock firmware and be able to try out a few other different ROMS, but want to be able to go back to stock by flashing through TWRP so as to not lose ROOT/TWRP.
Thanks in advance!
The F was never released for the US because the US uses a different code. The F does not have all the required bands for the US, nor does it have thr CDMA antennae you need for Sprint and Verizon.

Indian firmware should work with no probs. Mine's a G935FD and it's written on the back too. D must be a reference to dual sim

well, its a GSM only phone, so CDMA carries like sprint, vzw, usc cellular, rogers, virgin etc etc etc wont work. But at&t and t-mob (along with all their MVNOs such as cricket, h2o and tons of others) would work fine as long as you get good reception from those carriers in your area
