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.

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.

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:

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
Hello everyone. I joined Galaxy S6 community today with the phone that I bought from a my who went to Dubai. It's G920F. It currently have 5.0.2 with baseband G920FXXU1AOE3. I'm planning to download stock 5.1.1 rom from Samfirmware and flash it through Odin. I know that It won't trip knox but I wonder if there will be any problems caused by different region roms. I also want to learn If using the device in another region block ota updates? Or I also wonder if flashing another stock rom will block ota updates. Since it's the first android device I plan to use without root, I am a bit cautious about OTA updates.
I also wonder if shutter speed settings came with 5.1.1. I tried Camera FV5 and couldn't find them
I'm thinking to flash Netherlands rom.
Thank you for answering.
Flashing ROMs via odin won't trip knox. You recieve OTA updates anywhere around the world irregardless of ROM as long as its stock and knox not tripped. Here's Dubai ROM:

I have the same baseband and I'm in Europe. I would also like to flash some eur region rom and like to know if this is possible?

Hi guys,
Am I mistaken or is this the last samsung note pro in the known universe to receive an update to lollipop? I understand it's been a long wait for all note pro users. Does anyone here have an idea when this particular model SM-P905 (baseband no: P905XXUANA7 build no: P905XXUANC3) will receive an update?
Chris
why wouldn't you use odin ?!

Unless I've missed something, the firmware for my specific model isn't available from sammobile, so I can't use odin to update.

I guess you don't have to flash a specific firmware since you have the international 905 model !!
Mine was from italy and i flashed UAE firmware without problems !!

Oh. I feel so newb (And I'm a tech guy...awkward....lol). Mine is running stock kitkat (4.4.2). I rooted it a while back, but so far, have not flashed it with any rom. Correct me if I'm wrong - international version means that all the LTE/radio bands are unlocked? I can't flash it with Deodex.Root.Xposed, as I'm not running stock lollipop. Which rom did u flash yours with?
Chris
You should be able to use Odin to flash any of the released 905 version lollipop updates from sammonbile. You will lose your root however.

Thanks for the link, however, I live in Australia, so according to sammobile, there's no lollipop firmware for this country:

Since your going to flash it yourself just choose any region (pick one thats on 5.1.1) and flash that. Then just change the language and time zone settings during set up and you should be good to go. Many US customers with the 905 used this method when other countries were getting the original 5.0.1 update before them. Worked fine.

Thanks for the info. Cool. I'll keep an eye out for 5.1.1. If I'm not mistaken, most are 5.0.2 at the moment, except AT&T.

Just received an unbranded new 920F that is on C0I9 firmware and appears to be from the UAE. Sammobile shows a QOLK from TIM Italy dated Jan 4 2016.
What is the latest firmware I need without getting carrier specific bloat installed (if possible). I don't want UAE firmware.
Thanks!
hi my friend ,
well you can still install the "COK5" from "France XEF" (latest build) , it's the best release and i use it

cheers

Thanks.. Is this branded to a French network with boot logo and bloatware? I'm so confused with with these international versions. Also, how will future updates be delivered? I'm on AT&T.

Hi. Yeah...I'm using international versions now as well. You can get updates via Kies...but I've noticed some regions get updates faster and at different times. I've found just keep track of unbranded and Odin them when u feel like upgrading. My phone was originally UAE...I just turned it into DDE (German) OK2 firmware. Runs great....ZERO bloat. It's awesome. I'm on TMO
France XEF gets fast updates trust me, and about bloadtwares it's good enough for me so is for u i hope, and no special boot logo only the original
cheers
I am unable to flash any firmware with odin without error, can you help?
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,
