That's because you used the Brazilian Generic Version.

Bingo, it's not debranded. Hence the big CLARO startup screen and stock Brazilian apps. It's a faster FW but in my experience the battery has been very poor.
If that is the case where do get a unbranded X10a Firmware I can load? But btw I dont have a Claro logo...no logo at all

You have the unbranded Brazilian Version, dont worry. Prefixo Automatico is an app included in the REGIONALAIZED version, not BRANDED.
This means SE included that as part of the firmware for the Brazilian consumers, and not by a Carrier specific settings/mods.
I understand you, its annoying to have an app you don't use and can't delete. But if you want to use the most up-to-date firmware that's the price you have to pay.
Cheers!

What do you mean by compatible? I know that the firmware must be to my model (SM-G920F).
What I am thinking to do is to apply the firmware United Kingdom BTU. My device is from Vodafone Portugal.
No one has a answer?
The answer is YES... You can

After a bit more of investigation I have read that in some older samsung devices (galaxy S4, ...) putting an unlocked firmware on a branded phone could lead to problems. IS this still the case?

There is already a unbranded one, not for Portugal but for United Kingdom. My reason to do this is to remove the carrier crap and see if I can get a better battery life.

Since the hardware is the same I don't think it does any difference if the firmware is for Portugal or United Kingdom. My only doubt is related to the branded phone with unlocked firmware. Still I would like someone with more experience to shed some light in this matter.
No one care to comment on the possibility of problems in putting an unlocked ROM into a branded phone (locked to a network)?
Yes you can but your device is still locked to the network it came on unless you unlock with a unlock code.

Since most aren't, you have to define what you have and go from there.
Unbranded?
Sent from my SM-G920T
Does it have a carrier splash screen when booting up?? If yes, then it's branded/locked
Here where come my concerns form:
In Germany, 2 times, i have bought unbranded phone and have an de-branded ... what is de branded => it's like a phone de branded (no special app, and for one no clue at starting) but the rom is O2 (or othe operator) branded... and the updates are also with these operator.
No this one has not a carrier branded. so i must be good (i hope)

I'm from Mexico and I have FRD-L04 model. It's supposed to be the USA model, but the firmware (in compilation) says: FRD-L04MEXC567B121. The USA model says: : FRD-L04C567B122 (without Mex and with 122)
I have read but I don't find anything about the differences or if they are the same. I hope you can help me because all about Roms and updated talk about the USA model.
MEX is for mexico, it is normal
As long as your device works perfectly in your region and you can get LTE/4G reception you should be good.
the version numbers are similar so there wont be much if anything changed between the two

Hi
It seem a limitation of the firmware you have at the moment , is it a branded version?
if so you could try with an un branded stock version or if you are rooted with a custom rom

Hello fellows
So my issue is a bit long so sorry for that
I got this phone 3 days ago
S908N KTC Unlocked ( I live in Middle East and the SIM is working just fine )
I didn't know that this was a branded phone from KTC, I thought it was unbranded KOO
So right now I want to change the firmware to KOO to get rid of the KTC Boot animation and the KTC bloatware/settings
So how should I do that ? Just flash the KOO firmware using Odin? do I need to change csc? is that risky and may trigger Knox and block the phone ?
and after that can I just flash like the middle east firmware ?
Thank you in advance and sorry for taking too long
I'm attaching a screenshot of the CSC and software version of service provider
Use samkey. Pay for a key then change your csc using it

Yes, but some users already tried and it worked. I remember reading one or two days ago about exactly this...it says it is not supported but it works. I recall it was an Exynos device not SnapDragon but should work the same

Thanks for confirming
At least it appears possible to root it and maybe install a custom rom.
I assume that only the rom builders might be able to create a solution for the N version as an installation option in a rom.
However they might not be motivated due to the small number of people having the N versions. Unless of course a few of us agree to contribute in the form of a donation, then maybe a developer can play around and make it happen. What do you think?

well, I'm not really planning to root as this will trip knox.
Any news on changing KTC to KOO? I rooted SM-S908N, installed app Phone INFO+ Samsung, but don't see a way to change CSC. It just sees KTC region. Chimera Tool also gives info SM-S908N is not supported device. So, is there any way to get KOO or at least get rid of KTC Boot animation and the KTC bloatware/settings?

I successfully changed KTC to KOO using Shell exploit method mentioned in S22 thread.
Also, yeah without root and without triggering knox.
