Hi,
i've just bought a pre-ordered Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920F when it was first launched. I didn't buy it to any mobile carrier, i got it through a Samsung point of sale in Spain called El Corte Inglés. Since then i've just been updating the firmware through OTA but today an update with baseband G920FXXU2COH2 got installed which i think it's from a french version. Could someone tell me if this is wrong? Also i would like to know if would it be safe to flash the G920FXXU2BOGB (Spain phe region) from Sammobile? I'm wondering if this could lead to issues because of being a downgrade.
I just want the stock firmware without mobile carrier modification which came with the mobile device.
Thanks a lot in advanced.
Finally i downloaded G920FXXU2BOGB_G920FPHE2BOGB_G920FXXU2BOGF_HOME.tar and flashed it through Odin but don't know why it still keeps annoying me about the G920FXXU2COH2 update. Which i think belongs to a French mobile carrier, it also change some icons to the ones shown in the next image http://i57.tinypic.com/2ms4kfq.png

I think you got the update to the latest 5.1.1, which has some features from the newer TW version (Note 5 and Edge Plus), the icons being one of them. The only thing that you should care about is that you don't have the carrier's boot animation or carrier's bloatware. If you don't have those then just enjoy the update!
Thank u very much Cloxed.
By the way, i hate the new TW icons it doesn't correspond with the rest of the icons.

For a while i haven't been able to use my phone now, i've tried almost everything to fix this bootloop but i think i may be trying to flash the wrong stock OS so i was wondering if anybody knows any specifics on the stock OS or where i can get it as i have looked on sammobile and i just have no clue, the model is SM-G920F on virgin mobile UK, thanks
Download this one for Virgin from Sammobile if that one doesn't work then try the BTU Version I'm with Three UK and for the life of me I can not install the H3G one but the BTU one works as I got my phone on Amazon from a company in France also SM-G920F version.
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!

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?
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-_-)
A friend brought me an S8-G950U Snapdragon version and I do not have the ability to get an att chip to update de firmware because I live in Argentina. I´m on G950USQUAQGL (August 1, 2017) and de software provider says ATT/ATT/ATT. Is there any way to update the firmware including Oreo?
I'm sorry but the more I read the more I get confused.

I don't see any ATT ROMs for the S8 SM-G950U listed in SamMobile. However, I do see ATT ROMs under SM-G950U1. But isn't the U1 the unlocked USA version of the S8?

Did you even find any ROMS for the S8 SM-G950U? I'm having the same issue with not seeing any AT&T options on SamMobile.
I'm facing same problem too. ATT does not release its stock firmwares quite often. However find below May,2018 patch wity Oreo. Waiting for such stock firmware for Pie.

Hi guys you can flash any firmware G950U from Sam mobile it work because these are multi csc.
Tested in my unlocked s8 G950U.
Sam Mobile seems to have disabled their free download option (possibly in maintenance). Anyone has a link the latest Pie stock with July 1 patch level (AT&T) and can share please?
I think the OP (and myself) looking for this one - https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...59?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG955U&gsi=x6lhdu
Edit:
1. Here is the Samsung Fan Club link to the latest (G950USQS6DSG4, as of 8/18) AT&T ROM (free fast download) - contains T-Mo User data, use the one from below
2. Userdata for AT&T
Am I the only one? I own a SM-N9600 unlocked international (South America) phone, and my wife owns an N960US version. Well, she's been updated well over a month now to the newest UI 2.5, while I'm stuck on 2.1 still. Anyone else in this predicament? Anyone know anything? I'm in US and on T-Mobile.
I'm from Brazil and I have the same version that you do. No updates to UI 2.5 so far. That's sad.
To no Aguardo também
Translation: I'm also waiting for you
Mine updated today, January 7, though the update is dated as being December 3. Oh, well. At least I finally got it!!
I also have a N9600 and am in Nicaragua. I'm still stuck on 2.1. Samsung customer service suggest that I installed Smart Switch. I did. And it says that everything is updated. But I'm still at One UI 2.1.
Does anyone know a way to update this even manually somehow? I'm on a Mac and really would like to have my note 9 updated. Another weird thing while I'm at it is that Bixby doesn't have hardly any cards. For whatever reason, all of the good ones were removed for some reason with an update quite some time back.
If anybody knows what's going on, I'd sure love some ideas or help.
I've contact the brazilian Samsung support to ask about the update to UI 2.5
Who answered me said that they pretend to update in July!! That cannot be right, since in Germany and other countries the update started last year.
Instaled the N9600ZHU5FTLA on the n9600 brazilian version
It works!
I've tried other versions, but whey have fall on boot loop
Try TGY firmware
How dis

I installed the Colombian ROM (COO) and it is in One UI 2.5 for N9600. My N9 is brazilian version (ZTO).
The Panama ROM (TPA) is in 2.5, too.
