Hello guys, I just recently bought a galaxy s6 g920i factory unlocked I'm from Mexico however I have checked the device already in NY, Chicago, Omaha and Miami and south countries like Brazil and Argentina. Anyway I'm gonna stay in Europe for the next year and I'm wondering if this version will make it over there or should I buy the F version. I've been reading posts about the F version in USA and so on so I couldn't find anything about the I version in Europe so if you can help me I will be glad; Thanks. Regards.

Hey,
So I've recently gotten an Australian S6 G920i and was wondering if I would be able to flash a G920F rom to it. As far as I know the phones are practically identical so I cannot see why it wouldn't be possible, I just don't want to have to wait for the Australian carriers to update the firmware, plus the bloatware is gross (bootscreen, apps, etc.). Tried to look for a similar thread but couldn't find anything, help would greatly be appreciated
Thanks!
Hi soymllk,
What carrier are you using?
I assume you are on 5.1.1 firmware.
Just took a quick look at sammobile and found Vodafone firmware from 01/14/2016.

You can flash an unbranded firmware on your G920I. Running a 920F firmware isn't possible on your phone.
The only difference in the 920I and 920F are the LTE bands. The 920I has the same FDD-LTE bands as a a 920F, however it also carries additional TDD-LTE bands for Australia, India, Singapore and a few other countries.

Hey guys, thanks for your help! Before I saw any of this I went to SamMobile and flashed the Vodafone ROM (knowing that Vodafone don't customize phones at all, unlike Optus...) so all the bloatware crap is gone now Thanks!
(BTW I'm with Vodafone but the phone was originally an Optus phone so it had all their stuff on it, including a lovely "Hellooooooooo" welcome and "cya ya!!" shut down screen-_-)
Hello!
I travelled to China so I decided buy an S6 thinking that It could be used in Europe, un Spain concretely. It can't be used here because Google is blocked there in China. I tried to flash different kins of firmware, but It doesn't work. Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advanced!
So my dad bought me this phone (Samsung Galaxy J7 Core) from Saudi Arabia but i am using it right now here in the Philippines. My phone is still not recieving the latest updates because my phone's firmware is from a different country and samsung is not rolling out the latest update for my phone's firmware yet. My question is should i change my firmare to Philipiines instead of Saudi Arabia or should i still use the Saudi Arabia firmware?
I heard about changing the csc but i dont really know about it
Thanks for anyone that could help

I dont think there is a latest update on j7 core in the ph. I only recieved the september update
Last week I bought the A53, and today I noticed I received the Indian variant (SM-A536E).
I'm from Europe and I bought it from a verified European shop.
I was wondering if this could have any disadvantages?
Like maybe the Indian ROM has more tracking than the European One (because of GDPR or something) or the Radios are different?
Could I for example flash the European ROM through Odin?
Thanks

The biggest difference for most people is going to be the supported frequencies, especially the 5G bands.
For example, I considered getting an international model shipped to me here in the USA (because the USA models cannot have their bootloaders unlocked without exploiting bugs) but decided against it because it wouldn't support one of the major 5G bands used here.
That's the only part of your question I can help with though, I don't know what would happen if you try to flash firmware from a different region.
Hi I have a A326B/DS smartphone and the only firmware I can see online is from the Brazil region. I live in the UK and can see this was also an international model. So no idea why the only firmware online seems to be from Brazil.
My question is, I'm wanting to root/flash the device. Do I stick with the Brazil option, or should I use a A326B Firmware which looks like its from the UK (No DS on the end specific to my model)
