I am looking for an unbranded firmware for this model. I wan't one from the country that seems to update the quickest. Looks like Singapore has the newest ones. Are they unbranded? I use this phone with cricket and it is working fine on india's newest but I wan't the newest firmware out there that isn't branded.
1. if you dont want root, or root tripping Knox : G920IDVU1BOE3
2. if you want root with PingPong no tripping Knox: G920IDVU1AOE3
i like AOE3 fw
all of these fw are unbranded, in sammobile if some countrie have a carrier name, for example Argentina(Claro) is a branded firmware.
Hit Thanks if i helped you

Hi guys.
I was wondering if there is a way we can trick Kies to recognize the phone (S2 plus NFC) that it belongs to a country that has already received the official Android 4.2. I ask this because for Romania has not yet given update to 4.2 and I do not want to use any Odin. Also, if you can fool Kies it is possible to lose your phone warranty?
If we fool Kies it is possible to return to the basic android?

Thx Adisan...its quite easy to change CSC as i seen in videos....but the million dollar question is...DO I LOSE WARRANTY? And also by reverting back to original CSC i get the official update for Romania (if there is any )

For warranty I think you need install original stock firmware you had when you've bought phone (for Vodafone I don't think you have one on Sammobile..)
If it will be an official update for Romania (Vodafone), you can install it via Odin from Sammobile firmware list. CSC will be modified to the stock's one.

Exactly.
New to international unbranded models.. I just purchased a 920F S6. How do these models get their updates ota? With a tmo 920T you could check update etc but how does an unbranded model work?
Also, I've seen posts about flashing a France firmware to get updates faster. Is there an unbranded version that gets the first updates from Samsung?
Thanks
hi you would need BTU firmware i do believe
Hello guys, I live in saudia but I heard that poland xeo lollipop firmware is better than other lollipop firmwares so i wanna flash it through odin.. my s6 is unlocked running xtrestolite rom (mm) i want to flash poland xeo thru odin
will i have network issues after that? (not registered on network problems)?
i will backup my cuurent system just in case anything happen
thank you

Hi ahmadaboshah5
You should not have any problems when flashing a Sammobile firmware as it will overwrite all your partitions and, specially, Bootloader and Modem that are essential to upgrade/downgrade Android versions.
You will need re-root it as the Kernel will be rewritten too.
For a better Sammobile download experience, I do suggest:
[TOOL] SamFirm - Samsung firmware downloader & checker
Nice regards, good luck and mainly, have fun.

hi folks,
my 930f exynos is currently on marshmallow BLP2, its an XEU csc, unbranded UK. i would like to go back to APC8 firmware. am i right in thinking that i can just flash the official APC8 XEU firmware from sammobile? i thought i could but also got some advice elsewhere that i couldn't because of the bootloader? confused as i thought the bootloader was unlocked on exynos devices.
gary.

Hi mate
As far as i know there should be no problem , 99.99% of the people had no problem some people had issues not downgrading but with some minor functionality
Check here
Today I tried switching my s8+ which is an Italian unlocked model (ITV) to a United Kingdom unlocked firmware (BTU). I followed all the steps as this is not my first time flashing firmwares with Odin. I found a thread online saying that since BTU is a multi CSC , I need to flash a ROM that's is outside the multi CSC , so I decided to flash a O2 ROM , straight after flashing the BTU hoping that it would change the CSC , but it didn't instead it stood on ITV, the country/region is still on Italy too. Can anyone explain what I done wrong pls ?
Why do you even care about csc ? Install rom for your coutry "global", not branded soft and that's all...
BTU is not branded, it's unlocked with no carrier. Updates are also provided directly from Samsung. I would like to change the ROM for faster updates and features

So according to what I read it's impossible to change the CSC to BTU on the Galaxy s8 unless you have a UK Sim. This used to be possible on the s7.

But NOT possible anymore on the S8/S8+
ITV & BTU are both part in OXM. When you flash BTU-ROM, your device will stay ITV because both are in OXM...

Yes, S7 didn't use the multi-CSC, each region had it's own CSC.
But the Euro S8 has Multi-CSC, so it won't change region until you put in a SIM from that new region.
Thanks guys for helping. I just wanted to change the CSC for quicker updates and for region specific features like Bixby Voice when it gets released in the UK.
