[Q] About Installing Firmware From Other Regions - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have the LTE variant of the Note Pro 12.2 (SM-P905) that I purchased in Malaysia. I guess that makes my product code XME. Does anyone know if there are any negative effects of me installing firmware released from other regions, such as if I were to install firmware from Hong Kong (product code TGY) or Taiwan (product code BRI)? Would it impact the way my LTE works?
It's just that the latest firmware released for Malaysia is from May, whereas the Hong Kong and Taiwan regions have firmware as recent as September and I'm looking for fixes for a nagging issues I've been experiencing.
Thanks.

Samsung Note 4 Firmware Choices

Flashing new firmware on my Samsung Note 4 SM-N910A USA AT&T. (overloaded with at&t bloatware) Snapdragon 805. Anyone know what is the most "stock" firmware is? I researched that SM-N910F (Europe) would be the best. Sammobile then ask for a region. Which region is best when the device will be used mostly in the USA. I am confused - UK, France, Germany?
Thanks

I believe the firmware in Europe is for the Exynos processor. The SM-N9750 uses the Qualcomm processor. You cannot use an Exynos ROM on a Qualcomm phone.

Security patch update still on 1 Oct 2020

I have an exyson note 20 ultra 5g from UK and not getting any update since October.
Phone is not rooted or modified.
Anyone else in my same situation?
My Hong Kong N9860 is stuck on November security, despite receiving an update in December.
According to the firmware list on Sammobile there should be a December update available for your model for the past week. Have you performed a manual check on Wi-Fi to see if you can force the new firmware to download?

If your Note is not updating and is not modified I have no idea why. Time to contact Samsung support, perhaps.

Question Installing other region's firmware

Hello there!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with the model SM-S9080 (China). Unfortunately my S22 Ultra does not support all languages fully, I switched the language from English to Swedish and some stuff remained in English (settings and other things).
My phone's model is SM-S9080...... what would happen if I install the firmware for a european version of the firmware (SM-S908B) of the Galaxy S22 Ultra (SM-S908B) on my model (SM-S9080)?
Try Morelocale 2, and if it doesn't work then use other similar apps.
Uploading another firmware will put you on a path with problems.

Problems? Like what? Would it work?
Last time I installed a firmware for a phone it was the phone region's firmware and it works perfectly.

You can't install any Exynos Firmware on a Snapdragon Variant. Best option is flashing Hong Kong Firmware (TGY).

So it has to be the same processor, can I in this case install the USA version?
I saw a version called China (Open china), do you by any chance know what is meant by "Open China"?:

It isn't just the same processor you should be worried about. Not every phone of the same processor have the exact same partition sizes, which could cause the flash to fail. They could also not support the same mobile radios. There are enough variables that I wouldn't feel comfortable assuming it would work based on processor and supported bands alone.
If it doesn't work, the best case is the flash fails. Worst case you brick it, I don't think this one is likely as it should just fail but also I'm personally not in a position to risk it.

There's only one CHC Firmware, some refer to it as "Open". Your device is an outlier, only three versions of firmwares can be flashed on it, none are from the US. Only CHC, BRI and TGY.
