Hi community,
I bought my device in Belgium but my info shows me it's from Luxembourg, should I /is it safe for me to flash a Belgian/Netherlands baseband? (since my connection is not the best like this) Or should I contact the store? I am rooted on stock.

You are safe to flash any European firmware.

So I've just got my new Galaxy SII plus today and I'm sorta a total newb when it comes to the world of flashing . I'm wondering if it's possible to flash a stock firmware from another country in this case possibly a Hong Kong (I9105PZSAMH1) firmware, over a stock firmware from a different country/region of the phones origin (in this case some European countries (Italy, France, Belgium, United Kingdom etc. with the firmware number I9105PXXAMC2).
If I were to do this, would there be any side affects (like bricking) or would the phone work fine and exactly the same as it should be?
Has anyone tried this before?
Thanks in advance

Yes bro I had been doing this practice for years. And no side effects at all. Go ahead and flash other country's frimware. Only csc differs.

And yes *hit thanks button instead of saying. : )

I just want to confirm, if I were to flash another stock from a different region, would I be flashing the radio (the baseband version) from that region as well?
Because I'm in Australia, and because I'm flashing a HK stock firmware over the European firmware.
and I'm unsure if the HK baseband version will work just as well as the current baseband version that I'm using. (Which is working very well)
Because apparently the radio towers in HK are closer together there, where as here they are further apart.

Hi guys!
I've ordered a SM-920F from amazon today , YAY
I want to download the stock firmware from sammobile.com to have ready just in case.
My question is, what version (or CSC) do I download ? does it really matter ?
Is there maybe a generic version not related to any carrier ?
I have no clue what country this specific phone was made for, all I know is it's unlocked.
Thanks guys !

Download Phone Info from the play store to see which country/version you're on, but basically you can download and install ANY 920F firmware.
Hi,
I wanted to know if flashing a firmware from another similar region was possible?
For instance I have the g920I from Australia and I noticed that the New Zealand version has been updated today.
It seems that if you your phone is unlocked to any provider you can then flash any firmware but I would like to confirm please?
Cheers

No it doesn't make any difference. I flashed the New Zealand on my G920I and it actually fixed some issues I was having. So it is safe.
If you flash the wrong firmware, you and your phone might start speaking with an accent. I'd recommend just flashing firmware from your region.
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!
hi my friend ,
well you can still install the "COK5" from "France XEF" (latest build) , it's the best release and i use it
hope you find what your searching
cheers

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
I am unable to flash any firmware with odin without error, can you help?
Hi everyone, I'm new here, sorry if somethings wrong with this question (let me know so I can change it).
But anyway, I'm from Ecuador and someone sold me a Samsung A505F double sim from Pakistan (also Malaysia and United Arab Emirates), not from america so my question is:
Is it safe to install a firmware from another country? Besides erasing my data and configuration will I lose anything? Can I still use my local network and stuff? What happens if I try another version? Please, let me know ASAP. I don't care wiping my phone's data so that isn't a problem for me at all.
The reason I want to change it is because I have a camera issue and SAMSUNG STORE told me that my version isn't sold in here and I have to go to the store from where I got it. They don't look at rooted devices, etc. They just look at firmware's country and the hardware condition.
Thanks in advance, regards.

If the model number is the same it should fine. I've done it in the past to get updates faster.
