Just wondering if it is possible. As far as I am aware both units are exactly the same here in Aus, except for the Telstra FW having some bloatware.
I just want to change over as Telstra seem to be getting the updates way ahead of Optus.
You'd be better off just flashing on of the carrier neutral international roms wouldn't you?

Hi Guys,
I have imported an HTC Desire from the UK and I live in Australia. I am currently useing my Optus 3g sim card and everything is working well. My concern is missing out on the FROYO 2.2 update as I am not sure if Optus will allow it. The main problem here in Australia is that the national carrrier Telstra has a monopoly on the desire for six months, (hence my import) and is a crap carrier. I don`t know if the ota update that comes through Telstra will have been mutilated with some of their software. Will there be a downloadable version available from HTC website? If so, how hard would it be for a novice like me to install it on my phone?
Thank you for your time and consideration of these questions.
Here new RUU for Bravo
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed.exe
Enjoy!
That's very quick! I don't think O2 has even announced it yet.
Is this an update from the older Froyo ROMs (2.09.405.8) or just a carrier specific ROM?
Carrier specific - hence the 'o2 UK' in the title...
It's O2's branded froyo release.
can anyone say which kernel is in....??
I think the new releases in the moment...2.12 and this 2.14 are the same than 2.09 there are only provider releases with a new radio...
I´m right...???!!???
with kind regards...Alex
Has anyone tied this yet?
Running (rooted myself) since yesterday. Looks good so far. It had some Germa-speaking apps inside, so I guess it's for O2 Germany, not UK.
I did some hunting on the web yesterday and I couldn't find anywhere to buy a SM-P905 tablet - the international version, not the Verizon version. I found one on eBay, but I was outbid. I even tried eBay.UK and eBay.ca, but no luck. It seems like you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a Verizon tablet, but the international versions are like hen's teeth.
I prefer manufacturer refurbished or used, due to price. Anyone know where I can find one?

the Note Pro LTE version are the same, the only difference is software, their hardware is the same. I open the P907A from AT&T and P905V from Verizon, they look exactly the same inside. Other Note Pro P900 also is the same, the only difference is software customized for certain region, like UK version has more languages than US version, they are the same tablet. If I flashed firmware of UK to an US tablet, it will become an UK tablet. I used to flash Korean firmware to an US tablet when its firmware had some issue with bluetooth keyboard.
If you want your tablet has your native language, then just flash the firmware which has that language.
If you want to use different carriers, buy an unlocked one, I have unlocked Verizon which I can use with other carriers such as TMobile, AT&T, or Cricket.
Interesting Beut . . but are the carrier branded versions of the 905 sporting an unlocked bootloader such that custom recovery and custom ROMs can be flashed?
I would venture to guess that this is what the OP is looking for and why they specifically want the international version rather than a US carrier branded one.
Honest question - I have no idea if the bootloaders are still locked, I do recall discussion about the 905V having a locked bootloader at one time though.
Muzzy, you are correct. The fundamental difference between the Verizon P905 and the International carrier versions is the locked bootloader. Verizon has Samsung lock the bootloader. International carriers do not.
I understand what Beut is saying, and yes, the hardware is the same. But that doesn't matter when the software is locked down.
I am also looking for an international P905, I would be very thankful for any tips where to find it in Europe!
So I have this S7 International version and I've been reading a lot and realized that my CSC is ECT for Nigeria NG I'm thinking this could be why my data is so damn slow compared to my HTC.... Is there a way to change this and how would I go about changing it... I'm on MetroPCS (T-Mobile) in the USA.
Thanks
go to sammobile . com and download the firmware you want and use Odin to install. Theres plenty of other software, whether it's UK, Luxemburg or any other. Plus you can get the latest April security update
I just wonderin what's the best country, I was thinking Austria T-Mobile but honestly I don't know much about Foriegn carriers
But seriously I waited 4 hours for a 2GB file to not gethalf way done I just stuck my sim in my HTC and it's halfway done in 5 minutes
Make sure whatever you download is of the 930F variant and not any of the snapdragon firmware. Most US based ones are of snapdragon type.
I know that I was just wondering if it matters what country I download whether it's Austria or Germany Poland UK etc
Holy crap this has fixed everything. I now for the first time have an LTE signal. Unfortunatly it's not rooted anymore but I"ll take being able to use the internet over having a linux distro on my phone any day
Glad to hear you sorted the problem. Best way to select ROMs is to look for countries with matching LTE bands to your carrier. Most likely case is that CSC might limit bands or do something on that area.
I briefly had a US version of the XZ and flashed it with the UK firmware without giving this much thought. When my SG dual-sim showed up, I thought I'd flash it before setting it up, and noticed that there seems to be some inconsistency between versions.
At the moment, 39.0.A.1.250/R4B is the generic SG version, but I see that China is up to R9B and India is at R11B. So, it got me wondering what the designation meant, and if there's any reason for / against flashing an Indian ROM (for example).
I think the R stands for region. I freely changed between them personally. I think the differences are very minor. I know the kernels are the same. There might be different preinstalled languages.
Languages and bloatware differs. As I remember from Arc S times Indian version had less bloatware then Western ones.
Hmm... Hadn't considered they were region codes.
I may give the Indian one a shot. I was hoping for a possible modem update for signal improvement, but looks like that's not in the cards. Maybe it'll fix the strange behavior when adding a contact from recent calls on the Singapore firmware it shipped with.
