[Q] What Variant is my S6?

Hello,
My phone is a SM-G920F w/ 5.0.2 installed. The Baseband is G920FXXU1AOCZ build number LRX22G.G920FXXU1AOCZ . The only reason I'm asking is because I've seen others get an OTA for 5.1.1 but I haven't yet. I was wondering if I could Odin the phone to a UK variant?
The seller from the shop said it was a phone from Isreal flashed with a Region Free Firmware? but when I check the knox it was still intact. Is there any way to find out more information about the phone?
Thank you!

I have the exact same question. I have the G920F international unlocked model as well, using it on AT&T here in the USA. Phone's working great, but no update to 5.1, despite reading reports that Samsung has pushed 5.1 to the international variants. Is it because we're using the phone in the USA? Will we even get the OTA update, or will we have to update manually using ODIN?

Here you go UK ROM 5.1.1 BTU ready for you to flash:

I didn't ask the original question, so my apologies. But I was wondering if you had any advice on how I should proceed to update my device? I have the G920F that I bought unlocked off of Ebay and using it on AT&T here in the USA. It's working fine, but it says there are no updates. I don't even know if it'll even get an OTA pushed to my device since I am not in the originating region?
Should I just wait, or is it safe to go ahead and flash one of these 5.1 roms with ODIN that are for the G920F? If so, which one should I install? I think the first one available for the G920F was the France one. But now there are others. Does it matter which one I install? Or would I have to wait until a North American rom is available?
Thanks!
For reference, my build is G920FXXU1AOCV and my CSC is G920FOJV1AOBL. Not sure what those mean or how it applies to my situation?

Ita still best to stick to your working 5.0.2 ROM and wait for official 5.1.1 OTA update which should come soon. Flashing exposes you to risks like bricking your S6, tripping Knox and voiding your warranty. If can't resist the itch then flash away.

Thanks for response, I assume it's the same risks as me? I also wanted to get rid of the Israel edition and make it UK, will I hit any risks?

Risks are still the same. You can also consider flashing this Israel 5.1.1 stock ROM below:

yeah saw that but was hoping to get rid of the Hewbrew/Arabic, and keep it all English
:angel:
Thank you again for your replies very helpful. Phones seem to be getting more complicated, but I'll root and install custom rom when warranty is up

I tried it and can not feel a single difference... i'm running the new french XEF firmware and people said it had better battery, ram, faster speed etc. To me it feels the same.

Here you go the updated French stock 5.1.1 ROM. Flash it via odin ASAP.

i am still on 5.0.2 because of the issues with 5.1.1....i don't wanna make the jump before i make sure that everything is ok...

We're feeling the benefits already. Jump ship and join us.

Hi guys bit of a noob question my s6 is sim free unlocked bought from carphone warehouse last week stuck on 5.0.2 my CSC says xeu not being offered any ota update or via smart switch is it possible for me to flash the latest French 5.1.1 via Odin without any issue's? plus will I still receive ota upates if so?

Anyone knows about this update for G920I? I mean, the "other" newer update, no the 5.1.1 one.

Fail to Upgrade SM-G920I (Spark) to 6.0.1

Hi Guys,
I've bought a Galaxy S6 (SM-G920i) on B&H unlocked, and it comes with an Australian firmware (SPARK) 5.1.1.
I've downloaded an unbranded firmware from sam, but I can't installed. It has failed before instalation begins.
Has this firmware (SPARK) any kind of lock that can't allow me to install an unbranded firmware? I want to stay with the phone stock and with an unbranded version of 6.0.1.
If anyone can give me a clue, I'll really appreciate it!
Regards,
Power

check your csc, it may need to be changed if spark has not as yet released a 6.0.1 upgrade.

Thanks for your reply Cosmic! I'm trying to push the firmware via Odin. I think CSC should not a problem at this point. I can't understand why I can't flash an stock firmware via Odin. I'm starting to think that it has any kind of lock.

Anyone had the same experience than me?
Thanks in advance,

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:

Nice regards, good luck and mainly, have fun.

As a fellow U1 owner, I advise to be careful when flashing stuff on here. While we CAN use G950U-targeted ROMs, We have the unbranded XAA ROM, and most of the ROMs posted here are carrier branded. It doesn't really harm the phone, but adds bloatware. PartCyborgRom added a bunch of AT&T preloaded apps, so I went back to stock. That in itself is a bit tricky as the phone wanted to OTA AT&T version of the ROM then. Had to find an XAA stock tar and flash CSC as well (even tho I don't think I flashed CSC during my PartCyborgRom install). On the plus side I managed to do all this without tripping Knox at least.
G950U1 OTA current seems to be G950U1UES3CRE2 and this is with the May 2018 update. So this could be June update, but maybe not. Even with AOSP sometimes Android doesn't release the security updates for a month until the middle of the month, so to believe that Samsung already ..modified.. the update for their own ROM is a little suspicious. But whatever.
To answer your question, yes, it should work. But, I wouldn't do it.
