Flash Vodafone Germany S6 to Three UK S6 trip KNOX? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a SM-G920F from Germany, it's not sim-locked but it did come with some Vodafone bloat. I want to flash the Three UK rom onto it and have downloaded it from samfirmware. Any idea if this will trigger KNOX?

For anyone who is interested, I wiped the user data and cache in the stock recovery and then flashed the Three UK rom using Odin 10.0.6 and it worked fine. KNOX was not tripped and my device status is still official.

[Q] Is it possible to upgrade Samsung FW in region where isn't officially supported?

I own Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 NT-8000 and live in country where OTA updates are not available yet. Probably they will never be So I want to update FW manually through ODIN. I've read many how to manuals but still not sure if I upgrade new SAMSUNG FW in region where It is not still available will be still able to make calls and use data services. I will be upgrading last original FW by Samsung 4.1.2. And which FW should i use ? Internetional Thx for any suggestions.
Yes you can update using ODIN bother the tutorial and the firmware can be found on the links in my signature.
I would suggest use the UK 8010 Rom, 4.1.2 is not available for your device the one which is there is for 8000 it can work but will not suggest
Thanks for replay i want to upgrade last supported fw it is 4.1.1. With 4.1.2 that was misstake. I got rooted my device so first i should to unistall supersu thant restore original loader used to install supersu than reset my device to default settings and perform fw update.
you can use the n8000 rom. I have used it on my n8010 with no problems at all everything working great. Flashed with cwm 6.0.2.3, only thing is you will have telephone features that that wont work and your device model will change from 8010 to 8000

Im still not sure about 2 things. First as I mentioned in previous topic, I have performed ClockworkMod Recovery through ODIN before rooting . should I first restore previous recovery mod and then upgrade firmware?
Is this FW suitable for my device base on img which i post in topic above?

Or should I install this one ?
Mate, it is the stock German rom. Either link will get you the same rom. There is a new German 4.1.2 rom out that gets rid of the exynos exploit.
You can find ALL stock roms at sammobile.com in the firmware section(you will need to register to download).
You need to unzip the file first, don't try to flash with CWM as IT WON'T WORK. You flash the .tar file in the PDA section of ODIN. MAKE SURE RE-PARTITION IN ODIN IS UNTICKED... Let the whole procedure finish, disconnecting throughout the flashing process will result in a brick.You will need to re-root the tablet after this.
On the other hand, you can flash the tar file in Mobile ODIN on the tablet itself and maintain root doing this.

[Q] What Variant is my S6?

Hello,
My phone is a SM-G920F w/ 5.0.2 installed. The Baseband is G920FXXU1AOCZ build number LRX22G.G920FXXU1AOCZ . The only reason I'm asking is because I've seen others get an OTA for 5.1.1 but I haven't yet. I was wondering if I could Odin the phone to a UK variant?
The seller from the shop said it was a phone from Isreal flashed with a Region Free Firmware? but when I check the knox it was still intact. Is there any way to find out more information about the phone?
Thank you!
I have the exact same question. I have the G920F international unlocked model as well, using it on AT&T here in the USA. Phone's working great, but no update to 5.1, despite reading reports that Samsung has pushed 5.1 to the international variants. Is it because we're using the phone in the USA? Will we even get the OTA update, or will we have to update manually using ODIN?
Here you go UK ROM 5.1.1 BTU ready for you to flash:

I didn't ask the original question, so my apologies. But I was wondering if you had any advice on how I should proceed to update my device? I have the G920F that I bought unlocked off of Ebay and using it on AT&T here in the USA. It's working fine, but it says there are no updates. I don't even know if it'll even get an OTA pushed to my device since I am not in the originating region?
Should I just wait, or is it safe to go ahead and flash one of these 5.1 roms with ODIN that are for the G920F? If so, which one should I install? I think the first one available for the G920F was the France one. But now there are others. Does it matter which one I install? Or would I have to wait until a North American rom is available?
Thanks!
For reference, my build is G920FXXU1AOCV and my CSC is G920FOJV1AOBL. Not sure what those mean or how it applies to my situation?

Ita still best to stick to your working 5.0.2 ROM and wait for official 5.1.1 OTA update which should come soon. Flashing exposes you to risks like bricking your S6, tripping Knox and voiding your warranty. If can't resist the itch then flash away.

Thanks for response, I assume it's the same risks as me? I also wanted to get rid of the Israel edition and make it UK, will I hit any risks?
Risks are still the same. You can also consider flashing this Israel 5.1.1 stock ROM below:

G920F flashing update with odin

Hello everyone. I joined Galaxy S6 community today with the phone that I bought from a my who went to Dubai. It's G920F. It currently have 5.0.2 with baseband G920FXXU1AOE3. I'm planning to download stock 5.1.1 rom from Samfirmware and flash it through Odin. I know that It won't trip knox but I wonder if there will be any problems caused by different region roms. I also want to learn If using the device in another region block ota updates? Or I also wonder if flashing another stock rom will block ota updates. Since it's the first android device I plan to use without root, I am a bit cautious about OTA updates.
I also wonder if shutter speed settings came with 5.1.1. I tried Camera FV5 and couldn't find them
I'm thinking to flash Netherlands rom.
Thank you for answering.
Flashing ROMs via odin won't trip knox. You recieve OTA updates anywhere around the world irregardless of ROM as long as its stock and knox not tripped. Here's Dubai ROM:

Flash a different regional firmware?

Can I flash a different regional firmware to my G930F? My G930F came with Trinidad and Tobago CSC, build number and I want to flash the UK firmware so I can receive the latest update.

Will I be able to unbrick it through ODIN if something goes wrong? I want to do Dual SIM to Single SIM conversion just for the sake of quick updates.
I'm not sure how different the international S7 variants are from each other. But here in the US they are all the same except for the software so I heard. I got a Sprint S7 to which I wanted to use on T-mobile. So I flashed Tmobile's firmware on my sprint variant and turn out great, have wifi calling and everything is working great.
So it couldn't hurt to try it if you know what you're doing and like you said, worse is just odin back to your stock firmware.

I have the 920F S6 that came with UAE firmware. I flashed XEF France firmware with no issue and assume the same would be true on the S7.

International variants have two versions. Dual SIM and Single SIM. Will doing this ODIN process void warranty or trip any counter?
I flashed the UK firmware on my s7 and it worked. I had the Trinidad and Tobago firmware before. I have the latest update now.

It shouldn't had been with UAE firmware. It was most likely US/International version. BTW it was better getting one from Souq instead of Amazon. Haven't seen Amazon mostly do international shipping on smartphone.

for future reference, you should check frequencies used by both carriers before flashing

if they dont match, you could have trouble with internet speed or battery life.
hi all,
if i flash the s6 g920t firmware into G920I firmware,does it work?
anybody can help me how to flash?
I checked firmwares on Sammobile for my Galaxy S6Edge G925I with a Singaporean CSC. However nougat for G925I is only available for India on Sammobile. I live in Pakistan and use a Singaporean G925I so will a firmware built for Indian G925I work for me??
I am new to flashing so will really appreciate your advice.

Changing CSC for dual sim with safety intact?

Searched around and couldn't seem to find a clear answer to it.
So I have a XSG dual sim and want to change to BTU but want to keep the ability to sideload Samsung Pay or at least be able to use it when it's live in UK.
Can I or can I not do that? If I can, what exactly should I do with Odin3?
I have updated my KSA g930fd to official XSG Android 7 and both myKnox and Samsung pay stopped working due to system alteration error although the system is official and knox wasn't tripped
Now I've returned it back to Android 6 KSA and they are working fine!

Hi
Just to correct my previous post. I dind't flash the BL & CSC via ODIN in the begining and that was the reason I had trouble with myKnox.
you should flash AP, BL, CSC, and CP and you won't have any issues with Knox or Samsung pay
