Hey guys,
I have a G920F locked to all of Europe, if I flash an Australian ROM (where I'm from), will it remove the region lock and let me use Australian sim cards?
Same here
I've got the same problem / question for my European bought s6 edge g925f. I'm very tempted to flash to the Australian rom.
2 days ago I got in touch with Samsung Germany and got very quick replies. After giving them the imei number they said unlocking should not be a problem and they will get back to me with the unlock code "within a few days". I'll wait to give that a try first.
Did you try flashing the Australian rom yet?

Hi there,
I've got a Samsung Galasy S2 factory unlocked that came shipped with GB 2.3.4. My question is, having bought that phone sim unlocked, can I flash any firmware available for that phone present in samfirmware? I'm fed up of waiting to get the official upgrade through kies, which is taking too long for spanish phones.
My main fears comes from flashing the phone with a non-free-sim firmware. Am I obbey to use, for flashing my phone, any Open Europe firmware if I want to keep having my phone sim unlocked? or could I in contrary flash it with any european firmware?
Thanks for your support.

You bought the phone used I assume? hence it being already rooted and 0x1?
If you update to MJ7 (latest) yes you will lose root because it comes with a new bootloader, but since you are 0x1 already you can re-root without worrying about your warranty.
You may need to be careful regarding REGION Lock though... Not sure if updating reactivates it or not. So read up loads before you do anything to it!
thanks i see, mmmm but how this region lock work i mean this phone is from europe that mean i can only put oficial rom from there ? or it will work whit all other rom whitout a problem
REGION Lock is where the phone is locked to a certain region aka Europe / USA / Latin America etc, If your phone is the European model in theory it won't work where you are presently, Unless the region lock has been disabled via the method Samsung require (country of purchase - one 5 minute phone call made to release the lock, so an EU simcard used first)
Does ANYBODY happen to know what the right firmware is for these models? I am trying to revert to stock to return the phone. I've tried all 3 firmwares from the UK (H3G, O2 and Vodafone).....the H3G Odin'd properly but it's obvious that is NOT the firmware the phone came with, and the other 2 FAIL in Odin. As the title says, this an unlocked SM-G920F bought on Amazon in the US and being used on AT&T. 32GB btw.
Anybody have any help?

Have you factory reset after installing H3G? If yes, then it would be very difficult to find out the stock rom.
But if you have not reset then install phone info from google play, and check the csc. It will tell your original firmware code.

I'm not as concerned about this for ROM flashing. I'm wanting to find out if my G920T can use G920I or G920F modems/bootloaders, etc.
Here's my deal. I have a T-Mobile G920T. To unlock this phone I need to get away from the G920T modem. I previously had a G920T1 (MetroPCS) firmware set installed and it worked great, but the rom sucked.
I've since restored back to stock G920T and i've rooted/twrp, but I see other ROM's and I'd like to give them a shot. The catch - they all say I need to have the newest OI7 firmware installed. I'm still on the G920T sim locked OH8. The only OI7 modems/bootloaders I can find are for the G920F variant. I can't find OI7 for the G920T1 variant. I don't know if the G920F variant will sim unlock my phone. I don't want to brick my phone to figure that out, so this is the reason why I posted this question. I can flash ROM's all day long, but if I can't use my Cricket sim when I'm out in BFE then the ROM is pointless.
Does anyone understand what I'm asking?

DO NOT flash any FIrmewares through odin if its isn't your model number, if you purchased your phone and don't have an EIP you could sim unlock with the app, so any rom your on unless its not Touch wiz based (aren't any available besides touchwiz)
Hello guys,
Bought this phone second hand,but it seems that it has T-mobile Firmware installed on it (can see T-mobile logo at boot).
Question is,my phone should be unlocked because of model number (G930F), can I write with odin the unlocked version of Oreo 8.0 UK.BTU firmware downloaded from Sammobile ?
I have to mention that I'm using Telekom sim card,but the phone works with orange sim and vodafone sim too.
Thanks a lot guys !

Wrote the firmware with success ! Anyone who encounters this, it's safe to flash.
