Hi guys!
This is my story
I bought a Galaxy s6 today in japan akihabara, a "sim free" phone..., I was checking the phone at a restaurant and I found that this cell have a edge firmware
The number model is: SM-G9250
but the real model is: SC-05G
At the moment works fine, but I would like to root it with a real S6 firmware, not a edge firmware...
Do you have any information which firmware can I use? I need it sim free.
Thanks!!
pd: I don't want a iphone, please help :'(
any news :c ?

The firmware must match the device variant of the S6 when flashing. Flashing another modem or bootloader will cause a soft brick. I'm not sure how the edge firmware got flashed onto a S6 but flashing another variant of firmware onto a different phone will DEFINITELY cause soft brick.
Then find a SC-05G Firmware. I dont know if sammobile lists that.
Guys I have a Galaxy S6 (SM-920I).
The firmware which came with it was G920IDVU3DOJ6 (Saudi Arabia). So can I use other countries firmware to flash this if I have to? Coz I cant find the Saudi Arabian version on net for Odin. The only place is Samsfirmware. And it's a pain in the ass to download from there without premium account. So please help me out guys. Can I use other versions of SM-920I for my phone? Or will it result in a bootloop or not boot at all.

Take a at this:

It won't go into a boot loop or anything right? Or get network locked or anything?

As long as the firmware flashed is for G920I there should be no problems. The only thing you need to watch out for is you cannot downgrade the ROM i.e. flash 5.0.2 onto a S6 with 5.1.1 bootloader. If you upgraded to 5.1.1 beforehand you can only flash a 5.1.1 ROM.
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.

The UAE s6 you had was Dual SIM. And you flashed Single SIM firmware, right?

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.

The thing that throws me is the product code... How do you know which uk version to grab?
my ap version is G930FXXU1APB4, and the csc is G930FUUB1APB4, which matches up to your Trinidad and Tobago one...

I see. I'm certain it doesn't void warranty but not 100% sure. No knox tripped for me so I assume you'll be ok also.

I didn't buy it there. I bought it off amazon in the US.

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
The G930FD can also use the firmware of the G930F , the F and FD firmware are the same . Philippines do not show in the country distribution list probably is part of a multi CSC firmware.
What does that mean if it's multi CSC?

G930FD
That should be fine, the G930FD is used internationally so swapping region firmwares would work. You can get different firmware from sammobile.com or updato.com.
You can also flash G930F firmware if you don't find the G930FD firmware you're after, and the dual SIM should still work. At least that's what I've read here.
