Upgrading via Kies...is there a way??? - Samsung Galaxy S II Plus

Hi guys.
I was wondering if there is a way we can trick Kies to recognize the phone (S2 plus NFC) that it belongs to a country that has already received the official Android 4.2. I ask this because for Romania has not yet given update to 4.2 and I do not want to use any Odin. Also, if you can fool Kies it is possible to lose your phone warranty?
If we fool Kies it is possible to return to the basic android?

For warranty I think you need install original stock firmware you had when you've bought phone (for Vodafone I don't think you have one on Sammobile..)
If it will be an official update for Romania (Vodafone), you can install it via Odin from Sammobile firmware list. CSC will be modified to the stock's one.

So if i change, for ex,to Spain CSC, and upgrade to official spanish 4.2 i will lose warranty? And to get back warranty i just need to get back to COA csc (because my phone has COA)?
Sorry i'm such a pain but i really dont wanna lose warranty by changing CSC!!!

Latest firmware for 920F?

Just received an unbranded new 920F that is on C0I9 firmware and appears to be from the UAE. Sammobile shows a QOLK from TIM Italy dated Jan 4 2016.
What is the latest firmware I need without getting carrier specific bloat installed (if possible). I don't want UAE firmware.
Thanks!

Thanks.. Is this branded to a French network with boot logo and bloatware? I'm so confused with with these international versions. Also, how will future updates be delivered? I'm on AT&T.

Hi. Yeah...I'm using international versions now as well. You can get updates via Kies...but I've noticed some regions get updates faster and at different times. I've found just keep track of unbranded and Odin them when u feel like upgrading. My phone was originally UAE...I just turned it into DDE (German) OK2 firmware. Runs great....ZERO bloat. It's awesome. I'm on TMO
France XEF gets fast updates trust me, and about bloadtwares it's good enough for me so is for u i hope, and no special boot logo only the original
cheers

Depends if your current firmware is branded or not. Either way seeing as the rollout is in Europe, give it a few days.
Does anybody know a workarround of how to keep S-health working and private mode with tripped Knox after upgrading to android 7? I tried searching but couldn't find any answers. Thank you.

You don't get OTA software updates?
To what region have you changed your CSC?

That's strange because you get OTAs otherwise. Do you have the bluetooth or LTE version?

Question Change Country in EUX csc

Hello, I have an s22 ultra here in Germany that was apparently intended for the Spanish market. I have the EUX csc on it and I want to change my country to Germany for Samsung Pay to work. At the moment he always downloads the international pay app and unfortunately I can't set up my bank there. I found a way to do this with the Alliance app, but unfortunately the app no longer works because the Knox license has been revoked. Anyone know of another way to change the country?
Here is the app
Try with alliance shieldpro app. It requires donation and works only of first installed under android 12 then updated to 13
OK thanks for the answer. That means I now flash with Odin Android 12 EUX and install the Shield App pro and then i change the appropriate place with alliance app and save it. Then do I Flash the latest firmware or OTA and it should work?
Workes like a Charme now. Thank you very much
Edit: Can you tell me whether the setting I made remains if I flash it with Odin, for example?

Hi, i have an S22+ and is EUX CSC but the Country is Hungary, so Samsung Pay doesn't work. I want to change to my country Spain. I try to do a csc change with Samfw tool, but when I change it again to EUX the HU country appears again. There is no specific csc for Spain so I think the csc should be EUX, but unable to change Country.
I'm looking for Alliance shield app to change country option but I'm in Android 13 so its not supported because Knox. Do you make the country change successfully?? Did you downgrade to Android 12 before?? Do you know if this downgrade trip Knox warranty??
Thanks!
Yes I downgrade to android 12 last firmware for the 22 Ultra via Odin then I installed shield app and changr the country like in the Video above. Then Update from Smartphone to Android 13 and finish.
Edit: But you nee the paid version from the app ... you can get it on their discord

Ok, but do you know if this downgrade implies a trip knox and a warranty lost??
No Knox on my device its a official firmware no problems
So after the downgrade knox remains in 0 value. From where you download the official firmware? And you could indicate the steps to downgrading?
I don't know if better to wait Alliance app will be compatible with Android 13 to do the change...
