Hi there,
I got a SM-P610. The sticker on the back also states SM-P610. It is the Wifi only model and was bought in Korea. Are there differences hardware-wise on the wifi-only version between Korea and Europe/Germany? Can I safely flash the german firmware?
Best regards
I have not found information that SM-P610 has different hardware versions, so it seems safe to flash the firmware for a different region considering the BIT.
Remember that you do any flashing at your own risk.
What's your problem with the Korean version?

I want to load a stock firmware for my S5, and I have seen many different links and images. On the firmware details I see specs like model number (which I know is very important) but I often see region or country. Is this a critical aspect to consider? I am in South Africa on the Vodacom network and I have not yet seen a link for firmware for lollipop for this country. Does it HAVE TO BE matching my country as well or can I use any lollipop image for SM-G900F?
Any one have a link to a thread for stock firmware lollipop, (or kitkat will do as well) for my SM-G900F, and maybe can answer my concerns about country spec.
thanks
Links not allowed to the site, but search for "sammobile"
You can install any ROM for the G900F afaik

It is my understanding that if you want stock then goto sammobile. match your model number and your build number to the stock roms that are available. Then wipe and flash the stock rom to your device.
I have a samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9500 and I am on custom rom MIUI7. I have a question. I want to downgrade to 4.3. In the app PHONE INFO (SAMSUNG) which is for samsung phones only, it is showing me VIETNAM as Country of origin. While I have downloaded the firmware where the name of country INDIA is written as origin. If I flash that firmware, would my device brick or would it cause any kind of problems? Does the country of origin matters while flashing firmwares?

Nahh, don't wanna read the entire OP before answering.
In all seriousness, Vietnam is always the country of origin as that is where the phone was manufactured. I say that because in Phone Info on my S4 it always reported Vietnam as the country of origin, however my S4 was a UK model intended for the O2 network. So country of origin doesn't matter when it comes to flashing firmware. What does matter is that the firmware you install on the device matches the country you are located in, if possible. For example, just now an Indian user mentioned flashing Turkish firmware on his Indian S4 and wondered how to fix his phone so he could get updates. The solution for him was to flash Indian firmware, because with the Turkish firmware installed the S4 becomes "tied" to the Turkish region and expects to be in Turkey to get updates.
Flashing Indian firmware won't brick your device. However, Odin my reject the attempt to install the firmware, depending on whether or not your bootloader was updated to support Knox.

are there different firmwares for each and every country?

I have GT-i9500 also said made in Vietnam. When I received the phone it was on Thailand firmware. I live in US and I am on AT&T network. When LP came out I flashed Russian firmware, Germany firmware, etc.. Check your bootloader info. That is more important. If you bootloader is 4.2 and want to go to 4.3, it won't be a problem. Downgrading the bootloader could trip the knox counter or could brick the phone.

Yes and no. Some countries have multiple firmwares due to carrier modifications. Some countries have no firmware at all as the phone was never released in that country.

Is it okay to flash different model number?? I have SM-N910f and unlock it using z3x box but it seems to work only in GSM and I think it's because of the firmware from Europe and I want to use it in Asia. I am planning to use SM-N910C firmware. Will it brick the device?
Because I have searched for threads flashing their device into different model number, just making sure nothing bad will happen.
Thank you

Yes it will brick for sure. You can only flash firmware for N910F. You can flash firmware for a different region... like Asia region but it must be the same model
Do you have any idea on where can i find note 4 n910f international firmware? I have tried a lot of firmware but it doesn't seem to be the international firmware

What region are you in? What region firmware would you like on your device?
I'm from the Philippines so I think it should be DX

I'm seeing conflicting information on how to flash our phones with official software and have a few questions:
Where is the carrier-free US S8 (not plus) variant firmware? I've searched, what even is the CSC for it? XAS, TMK? XAA?
I found a thread that seems to have the EXACT process for flashing any carrier firmware, it says to download the G950/G955W firmwares, which ones? There's some for Bell, Fido, etc. The op failed to provide links.
Has anyone actually successfully debloated their US carrier S8 with a non-carrier firmware, a firmware simular to what we had on the G930U? If so, could you post your EXACT process, down to the very download links you used?
I'm using a T-Mobile US Galaxy S8, and my friend has a Sprint Galaxy S8+, we both want the carrier-free firmwares flashed, but things seem to have changed a lot in the many years since we've flashed phones (the last phone I used Odin with was the Note II!)
Thank you
I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to the US variant of the S8, but I can tell you this much, the SM-G950W is the canadian model it seems, and XAC is the unbranded non carrier firmware for that model.
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.
