Stock ROM for S6 on Virgin Mobile UK - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

SM-G920F from Spain got G920FXXU2COH2

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.

Can I run a stock G920F rom on a G920i?

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-_-)

Hi
The G930FD can also use the firmware of the G930F , the F and FD firmware are the same . Philippines do not show in the country distribution list probably is part of a multi CSC firmware.
What does that mean if it's multi CSC?
Hi i would like to know where to download the firmware of my S7 Dual sim XTC (Philippines) or GLB (Globe) . Im new here and i dont know where to download the firmware.
My galaxy s7 is in "Recovery is not seandroid encforcing" i try to root it but now im stuck. and i want to download the firmware but i have no idea what firmware i should download.
please help me. TIA
Look for it on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
as long as the model number is the same it will work for your phone

It will never work properly here (UK) as it's Qualcomm snap dragon and it was build for a different region.
You can attempt to install different firmware from UK or EU but it's really just luck if you get it to work or not.
To get wifi calling to work you will need to flash unbranded firmware, either BTU (UK) or XAS (USA). Even when you flash US unbranded as i said earlier it will not be fully functional in this region as it does not have the required hardware.

Yes if you want to use it in the UK.
Carriers in the US, T Mobile (US), Vodafone (US) etc DO NOT use the same connection standard as Vodafone, T mobile, UK. It is essential you understand this. There is no advantage to flashing UK network branded firmware, unbranded will give you all available connection options but not 100%.

I will give it a go. Do you know where I will find the filmware? been looking but can't find it
SamFirm tool is a good way to get the most recent firmware files from samsung servers directly.
Otherwise it's firmware rehosts like sammobile or updato
