flashing another region stock rom

I have SM-G920F which I got from Thailand. It has Build number G920FXXS4DPHI & 920FXXU3D9FV Baseband. This stock rom region has some functions locked like SpO2 in S health. So I want to flash another region stock rom from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G920F by Odin. But I have some questions before I proceed.
1. Which Country/region rom (GSM version) should I use that has no limits in all features including call recording
2. Will flashing new stock rom with odin delete my data like contacts, messages & apps? Or it will be like an update?
3. Is samsung-updates.com an official site? Is it a trusted source?
Thanks
Nothing!
Any contribution is welcomed.

Galaxy S6 920FD - flashing other country official ROM

Hi everyone,
I am new to this Galaxy S6 so I have some questions about this.
Mine came with the following configuration/firmware:
AP: G920FXXU4DPJC
CP:G920FXXU4DPJC
CSC:G920FOXE4DPJ1
Model: SM-G920FD
Since this is not firmware for my country, I tried and changed it with official firmware for my country taken from sammobile.
Everything worked and the phone is working correctly, but I found some information that OTA won't work and also USSD codes like *#1234#(which I also confirm) do not work.
Can someone else also confirm this? Is there something that I can do about it?
PS: I have stock recovery(or at least I think so - haven't checked), and haven't cleared cache&dalvik - didn't think it would be needed. Does stock recovery allow this operation?
I found some information about temporary recovery - which can help with this and also with efs backup - which seems I need to do if I am to play flashing more firmwares.
PSPS: when flashed through odin I didn't checked the re-partition which I heard is advised if flashing firmware from another country.
Thanks!

Trying to flash 6.0.1 CSC/MODEM with 7.0.1 Firmware, will this work?

Dear readers,
I want to have voLTE working on my SM-G920F.
I live in the netherlands (PHN) and my carrier supports volTE , in fact I have it working with android 6.0.1.
Is it possible to flash to BTU (UK, 7.0.1) with the CSC package from the PHN (6.0.1) or will this cause a (soft) brick?
So I would flash the following with ODIN:
BL: BL_G920FXXU5DQA7_CL8821257_QB12271362_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CP: CP_G920FXXU5DPL3_CL8821257_QB11771442_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
AP: AP_G920FXXU5DQA7_CL8821257_QB12271362_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC: MODEM_G920FXXU5DPLD_CL2100313_QB_5298122_SIGNED.tar.md5 - (This one is extracted from the PHN firmware package)
Thank you in advance,
Hi,
You can try flashing the BTW package first without any modification, if the feature you want stops working, just flash your region CSC/Modem package afterwards and it should work again.
If the phone have a soft brick (which it shouldn't, it should work just fine), then you can attempt a downgrade or just flashing back the BTU CSC/modem and wait for your region to have Android Nougat.
All the best,

Question A525F (4G) native call recording

Hi,
I have A52 4G (A525F) with OLM (XME) firmware and would like to enable native call recording.
From reading Samsung forums I understand that ILO (Israel), THL (Thailand) and XID (Indonesia) CSC would allow native call recording.
The problem is that unlike for S20 etc, for A52 none of those CSC is included in OXM firmware, ILO is OJM and others are OLM, so it looks if I flash OXM firmware for A52 I would get nothing.
I don't care to pay for some credits with samkey, but the question is if samkey can set ILO CSC for OJM, not OXM firmware and if this would give me native call recording?
Or the only way available is to unlock the boot loader and root A52?
Really appreciate your help!
Thanks much.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash another region's/country's firmware (with Odin). But changing to another CSC will force you to do a factory reset/wipe data.
Are you sure about native call recording for those CSC firmware versions?
I am on DBT (unlocked/unbranded German), and this does not have call recording.
On my previous Samsung phones (S9, S9 Plus, A50 and A51) I got a built-in Call Recording without any problems so I switched CSC to XXV. It was enough to flash Home CSC from Vietnam, and there was no need to reset to factory settings.
On my new A52, which had all the EUX CSC tags, that way doesn’t work.
I tried to flash only part of the XXV and THL firmware, and then the whole firmware and I couldn't get the built-in Call Recording.
I think the problem is that I download the XXV (Vietnam) or THL (Thailand) firmware, and after flashing it says: XME.
This should be addressed, so a way would be found to get a built-in Call Recorder.
EDIT:
I finally managed to get a built-in Call Recording. I flashed the INS (India) firmware, with Home CSC, so I didn't lose any data. All together it lasted 5 minutes and now Call Recording is working ...
My original CSC was EUX,EUX,EUX,EUX, now is: INS,INS,INS, EUX

Please explain a bit. Do you mean that you flashed :-
1) download and flashed INS firmware with INS CSC
OR
2) download INS firmware and EUX firmware then flashed INS firmware with EUX CSC
i'm sure many still wondering how to do this
thanks in advance

I flashed the complete latest INS firmware via Odin. I put HOME CSC, so as not to lose all my data and applications.
The flashing ended in a few minutes, the cell phone restarted and everything was as before ... it offered me several apps from India, but I refused. If not, they can be uninstalled later.
I live in Europe, I have Croatian SIM card... no problem.
Updates come to me normally and regularly, there have been 2 since the flash.
In the Phone application, in Settings, you can select Call recording
I just noticed that the XFE firmware also doesn't have call recording. My previous phone had it with the EGY firmware. Strange, why wouldn't it just be enabled by default?

Could you please and please take me through the steps in activating the native call recording on my Samsung A32 without losing my files. I'm disappointed Samsung didn't make this common feature available on their latest phones. Please help me.
Sorry, my English is bad for detailed instructions...
Is it possible to flash Home CSC alone in Odin?
Yes.
I now have all EUX and only Home CSC India (IND).
Everything works, I have a Call Recorder and I haven't lost any data when flashing.
You just have to use Home CSC from the same month as everything else (BL, AP, CP) is.

Ah, so BL, AP & CP must be flashed along with Home CSC then
I'm not sure. It's probably enough to flash only Home Csc, but I haven't tried ... I flashed only home CSC on Galaxy S9 and Galaxy A50 and it worked
Can anyone with the call recording option enabled confirm the value of the following by running adb shell settings get system on computer (or other device)? These are the values I got on my device (call recording option not available in call settings) from adb shell settings list system:
Code:
record_call_storage_setting_value=0
record_calls_automatically_on_off=0
record_calls_automatically_type=0
record_calls_notification_on_off=1
for eg, to get the values for the first one, type adb shell settings get system record_call_storage_setting_value (after enabling USB debugging and connecting device to adb of course). Or conversely, do adb shell settings list system to get all the values (can also rerun replacing system with secure then global to get other values).

So I tried it and can confirm that simply flashing the Home CSC file alone in Odin for a different region but the same software version installed on the device changes the CSC (as expected), no data loss and I was able to get call recording option too. Flashed INS Home CSC over XME for the record. Just a couple notifications on restart asking to install new apps.
The only issue with the Indian firmware is that it might come with a bit more bloatware than other country's firmware. Don't know for sure though.

Please update
As far as I know only Xiaomi with special ROM supports vowifi recording. This is why I abandonded samsung and went to Xiaomi .
At my Xiaomi with https://xiaomi.eu/community/ ROM it works.
Sorry Samsung you don't listen to your customers for years...
