Hi!
I am from Portugal and I'm about to buy an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S in an online store in europe.
So, my questions are:
1. Is there any trouble buying outside Portugal? Is is true that each country has its own CSC version and that buying outside Portugal can have influence oin future firmware updates?
2. Or are all Samsung Galaxy S for european market all the same, and I can buy withou any fears?
I am a little confused about thoses CSC versions and all, so if you can explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old kid, i'd apreciate it!
Thanks
RM
PS: If you could explain to me what is that CSC anyway, it ould be great!
Devices will come with a CSC relevant to where you buy them, but I don't believe you need to stick with the CSC your device came with. Mine was I9000TMUJE6 (from T-Mobile UK) but I'm now using CSC I9000OXXJM1, which came with the JM2 firmware on the samsung-firmwares site. Everything still works fine.
It's possible you might have to re-enter your APN settings without the relevant CSC (I did a Titanium Backup restore, which probably did that for me), but that's no big deal.
I don't think any European ones are different to each other either, as far as I know.
Hi !
I've bought mine online from UK and now I use it in Israel without any problem whatsoever.
You really should read the big FAQ in the Dev section, It'll make your life easier.
Don't worry about the CSC file, you can always flash a Portugal specific through Odin (if such exists or will be available in your country later on).
Good luck mate.

Following the recent success with updating my UK model P7500 to ICS using the German official software and Odin, my brother in Canada has asked me if the same sort of thing can be to his P6210 Canada version. It appears that Canada is another Samsung Tab drought area, and he says that his battery life is below expectations. - the saesman in Future Shop told him months ago when he bought it that the upgrade to ICS was only days away - pretty much the same story that I was told in the UK, but as usual Samsung have let us all down.
There is a UK version of the ICS upgrade for the 6210 that was released months ago I believe, so I was wondering if someone out there could tell me if the update is suitable for his unit... The build number of his is HTJ85B P6210XXLB2...
I found Odin a delight to use for the non-technical like me, and he is much the same - so an Odin based update procedure would be ideal.
So...... Which is the best update to use for his machine?
Thanks
This is not the correct section as this is for the original 7" tab the P1000 and variants. You need the Galaxy Tab Plus forum and they should be able to help. Also when posting questions please check if there is a Q&A section before posting in General as if there is they belong there.
Thanks

Hey guys,
Any Canadians who pre ordered i9505 please check if you can get LET working in Canada once you get it.
When you reply to this, don't forget to mention carrier that you are on and the region as well.
Faster firmware updates, more dev support, indie Rom...I don't think I can enjoy galaxy s 4 as much without these...But I do not want to lose LTE at the same time...
Thanks in advance!
hello XDA World
I have been a lover of the Samsung range for some years now but never really delved into rooting.
I have owned a 2nd hand Galaxy note 3 which I purchased from CEX in the uk back in April. It was an unlocked BTU version. But it died last week.
CEX have replaced the unit fine. But its the Vodafone ATL (spain) version currently. still has the Vodafone apps on it.
What I want to do is convert this to the UK BTU version that I know and love.
what do I need to do please? forgive me if this has been asked several times. and please no "search the forum" statements. there is way too much information to know to begin to start looking!
If someone can give me some pointers I can work out the rest myself. I just need pointing in the right direction.
Many thanks
Liam

As it was BTU, you can download BTU firmware and flash it using Kies or Odin.
Install the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, go to the 'Firmware Browser' menu, enter 'BTU' into the CSC textbox and tap the Go button to search.

Is there some thing wrong with this post?
because im not getting any answer?
please, guys, help me if this post i wrong place let me know i will put in the right place
or if no one can solve this let me know i will stop searching for solutions
People simply might not know which is why they haven't replied. I can add my two cents but I'm not really sure.
930V is the version of the S7, a USA model. It might be that as the US model, it isn't compatible with samsung pay outside the US. It could also be that as a US model you can't get updates without being on a US carrier network.
Another possibility is that it's not an S7 at all and that it's a fake phone made to look and behave like an S7. Boot the phone into download mode, as download mode phone information can't be faked. See what it says in there.
But that's just a guess, I don't know for sure.
You can use Odin to change the firmware so long as it's a compatible stock firmware (you'd have to be looking at the Snapdragon firmware) which you can find at sammobile.com

its not face it tried g930u rom installed every thing good but little bit network problem network weak and Samsung pay is international not India version
Samsung pay may be an international service, but to work it still requires collaboration between telcos and samsung.
You have a US model phone that is not officially supported outside of the US, and is not officially supports by Indian telcos. That is probably why it won't work. Whatever Samsung and Indian telcos put in place to support Samsung pay likely doesn't include US model phones being used outside the US, with a non-US SIM.
The 930V also uses a different modem to the international 930F variant, which means you won't be connecting to all the same network bands as the 930F variant, which will affect your network speed and potentially any telco services such as VoLTE and Samsung pay.
There is a reason 930V's sell for cheaper than the international 930F variant.
so there is no solution for this phone
I have a AUS version of S7 and I can confirm that I am able to use it in India for Samsung Pay
Why dont you manually update it to Android 7. This will have latest Samsung Pay installed and you should be able to use it in India
Please head to Sammobile and search firmware for SM-G930V
Australia and India both use the international variant G930F, so I'd expect it to work.
