Hello, I'm waiting my D802, is there a way to understand if its the Asian version or the European version!?
Thanks!
I just bought an international version of the Galaxy S6 Edge + SM-G9280
This phone is stuck with all chinese data, including preset internet searches through Baidu, and chinese apps, and maps is completely in chinese.
I've changed the language settings but this is a huge issue as PlayStore is not an option to download, I am stuck using the chinese app store (Galaxy Apps) I would like to flash the phones firmware to a US version or International English version but only finding links related to the flash for the SM-G9250 (China) Firmware flash which specifically said it was for that version ONLY .
How do I do this without bricking my phone, or accidentally tying my phone to my Carrier which is T-mobile where the phone becomes no longer unlocked?
If im totally SOL how can I at least load the playstore on my phone?
Btw I have already checked this phone is not a fake it's real.
Thanks for the help guys!
Hi vegashd
The only official firmware I could find for your handset from sammobile is Chinese.
Date Country/Carrier Version PDA CSC Kies

I would check out the developer sections, and root your device only if you can find a compatible G9280F custom ROM.
Happy new year, and god luck.
Hi I am from UK and i bought a Korea version of LG V20 . i have a question is their any chance we can flash LG V20 international variant firmware to the Korea phone . because in Sony we can change the firmware .
Thank you .
not as of yet
Brought this US ver. SM-T350 to China and noticed that Google and all the google framework were not accessible behind the great firewall. Sammy does sell another variant of Galaxy TabA 8 incher SM-T350NZWACHN in Mainland China. Question is, can I simply Odin the Chinese official fw into this tab? I assume the Chinese variant has taken care of the google issue (providing alternative).
Thanks a lot.
I have SM-T580 and SM-P580, region is not an issue in Wifi model. I did flash Korean, Hongkong, Germany...etc. on my tablets without any problem as I could choose English is my language in the first page of setting up the tablet.
When Nougat was available in Korea or Germany, I flashed the firmware to experience with new OS. Then when US version was available, I flashed back the US firmware.
When LG V20 Europe models get Android 9.0 Pie Update? Can you guess it? Because I think LG V20 Turkey model get this update very long time and Turkish users ask Europe software evert time on my forum
No, only the South Korean F800 has it. LG is South Korean and there hasn't been any hint of any other region getting Android 9.
