[Q] PIT files, MM and regional firmwares.

Hello,
I bought a galaxy s6 in Latam (g-920i) before returning to Europe (Spain). It is network unlocked, so it works perfectly. Turns out that the Latam firmwares (g920i) for marshmallow are being left behind in comparison to other regions as Europe (g920f). I have compared both phones (i/F) and they are identical, so I am feeling moved to flash a g920f firmware on my phone. When I try it, it fails. In the very beginning, I thought that it failed because the model name was wrong, so once rooted, I changed it in /system. Nothing happened, so I am assuming that the firmware fails because there is some sort of different partition set between g920i and g920f.
My question is, if I flash a g920f pit file on my s6 (originally g920i), will it firstly not brick it, and then enable me to flash a g920f firmware?
Thanks for your help.
Be good boy and never mess your device flashing stock fw with different phone version. BTW this is belong to Q&A section

Yes, they are the same firmware iirc
earlier i used to downgrade easily but after updating to 7.0 latest update via OTA i now cant downgrade to 6.0. odin says failed. device says sw check revision failed.
The latest 7.0 firmware is DRAG and prevents downgrading, if you're on it I'm afraid you're stuck.
Flashing a custom ROM via TWRP might work, but the 7.0 bootloader doesn't play nice with 6.0. It'll break vibration.
what is the solution now. this 7.0 is crap drains battery without any reason and not so smooth like 6.0

Galaxy s7 g930p firmware guide

Hello i am new here i have some questions plz.clear my mind issue is i have galaxy s7 g930p when i dial*#1234# it shows AP, CP G930P AND CSC G930F what is this??? I want to update oreo which firmware should i use i am in pakistan and already use os marshmallow
Boot into download mode (Power + Home + Vol Down) and check what model number it says you have there.
Then download the firmware specifically for that model and nothing else.
Thanks for reply... in download mode its shows g930p and also in settings same model name and also back on phone side same but in recovery mode shows g930v
Here is some detail...
In the Downloads mode SM-G930P is displayed,
in the Phone Info also SM-G930P,
in the manufacturer "Samsung / Verizon",
product code "Not Active",
Original CSC code is empty,
CSC firmware code VZW,
active VZW firmware code,
available CSC codes are empty,
SCS country USA / HK,
Bootloader version G930PVPU4APL6,
PDA version G930PXXU1BPIA,
version CSC G930FXXU1BPIA,
radio module version G930PVPU4APL6.
Which model firmware should i download
Download mode is the only value that can't be changed by modifying the firmware, so it's your true model.
The G930P is the US Sprint S7 model running Snapdragon, so you can use any Snapdragon firmware with Odin (G930U/V/T/P) but don't attempt to flash anything Exynos as it will brick your phone (G930F/FD/W8/K)
G930U is the carrier unlocked generic firmware, so the best one to use if you don't want bloat etc.
Thank u so much can i now install latest update of g930u? in odin fill all boxes with g930u files also csc g930fxxu1bpia with g930u file?
Thank you so much sm-g930u firmware with oreo now working in my sm-g930p no any issue here thanks

What is your model number?
What country/region are you using the device in? What carrier network is the device being used on?
You can't use g930f and g935, you can only use one of them and it has to be the same as the model number of your device, you can't use firmware from a different model number.
You need to find the newest firmware for your specific model number for your specific country/region/carrier.

Question How do I find the right firmware to downgrade a samsung s7 edge to android 6.01?

Hi, I'm new here and was wondering how to find the right firmware to downgrade a samsung s7 edge? The Odin guide says: Download & extract the Custom kernel.tar file which is compatible with your device.
I bought a used phone that has Android 7.0 G935FXXU2DRC6 Multi-CSC code XME.
After digging around I gather that XME means Malaysia is the CSC code?
Also that SWREV number is 2.
I go to https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G935FD/XME/bit/all/av/6.0.1 but I don't see any files with SWREV 2 or greater.
Where do I find a compatible file?
Also when I click on a file in the list of SWREV 1 files (which I know wont work) I get, for example,
SM-G935FD/XME/G935FXXS1BPLO under the XME CSC.
But when I look that code up its region is XXV which is Vietnam. Will a Vietnam region file still work on an XME region phone?
Thanks!
find Same BIT Binary version in Downgrade OS version.
Because samsung BIT and Binary version never downgrade but in same bit binary you can use update or downgrade os.
