If anyone could be so kind as to PM me their serial number (printed on back of phone). I am having issues installing a UK Vodafone rom (keeps defaulting to Slovenia) so hoping that I can type this serial number into smart switch and it'll pull down the correct version for me. Thank you in advance.
it won't work
Why dont you use Odin? Its simple and it will work the way you want

It doesn't work - the VF stock ROM always seems to default to SIM instead of VOD.
A serial # from a VF UK branded S6 Edge should allow us to use Smart Switch to download and install the firmware with the correct CSC.
Pal i don't want to sound mean, but i think nobody here will give a serial number, since it is a vital information of the device, if you can't download the correct rom from sammobile and flash it via odin, i can't see a good solution for you.

You can flash a stock ROM for your region and then Kies should recognise that.
Here are stock ROMs...

If you've not done it before it can look a little daunting, but all the information you need is in the first few posts of each thread.
Good luck
but why my phone doesnt it gets updated via kies?like if my bro send me a phone from uk.should i send the phone back for updates?
You don't need to send your phone anywhere to get it updated - there must be another reason why Kies won't update it. Have you ever flashed a custom ROM or firmware?
actually it was locked here and i went to a shop to unlock it.it has siyah kernel and i guess it was flashed once for unlocking.
and how to get back the custom ROM etc if it was flashed?
yes i did flash custom firewre and ROM.let mee send u the snapshot of it.
You cannot use Kies to update your ROM if you have a custom ROM. It will only work if you have the correct branded or unbranded ROM as per my first post.
i am from Pakistan.
so can you tell me which ROM is for my area.please if you know.paste the link below.thanks.
your device does not support upgrading via kies
I flashed the stock firmware. bell. UGKG2.
i am unable to update via kies.
it says my firmware is I9100MUGKG2 (KOR)

No updates via kies
Hi All ,
I gave my phone to samsung people for EFS or IMEI Problem .
They updated my phone to same version 2.3.6 I was already on it .
and now when I am connecting my phone to kies for ICS update its saying
"Your phone does not support updates via kies"
Never rooted..
the product code of your phone has changed, to be exact the country code in the phones product code. you will need the IMEI number and your country code to switch it.
you can check your current product code
*2767*4387264636#
1. get your country code from fus.nanzen.se
scroll down to presets and search for you country/provider check the product code. the last three letters are your country code.
Create a backup before proceeding it will wipe your data and reboot your phone.
2. To change your country code (IMEI = your phone IMEI number, you can get your IMEI by typing *#06#)
*#272*IMEI#
You will have a list of available codes to choose from. install the one which applies to your country.
Can any one provide me with a Three (UK) S6 Serial number so that I can download the full official stock firmware via KEIS/Smart Switch? EDIT: I now have one from a display model PM me if you need the firmware
I need to change my unbranded (BTU) phone to The official Three firmware (H3G) (for 4G voice calling)
I bought an S6 from Amazon which came unlocked with AUT region software. I've managed to find and Flash an official BTU firmware via ODIN, however I cannot find a full OI9 H3G stock firmware.
FYI for BTU, the ones from the firmware page do not work for me (even with a PIT), I kept getting the Sw rev check fail device 3 binary 2 error. However a full official flash i.e. with the AP, BL, CP, CSC file did work. Which is why I need the serial number, or alternatively a full copy of the Firmware. I also do not wish to root/flash another recovery as I need KNOX.
Please PM me if you don't want to post on the live forum
Thanks!
I doubt someone would give their serial number, but I would suggest trying a PIT file, it may/may not trigger knox status but I did it to get EE Branded firmware for wifi calling and it worked.
Where did you get the fimware to flash to the BTU?

Already tried a PIT, didn't work... thats why I want the full firmware. I will just go and grab the serial from a display phone at a Three shop, thought XDA might be quicker tho.

As I said in your thread, I got the firmware from this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-android-6-0-marshmallow-beta-how-t3277533 Its a full firmware download rather than the partials that are posted on the firmware page.
looks like @abdussamad tried it out and it solved his flashing problem as well

You have to use a custom PIT file in order for the hidden part to have enough storage so the Three firmware can work.
I got a EE (EVR) Serial Number to flash onto my phone so I could have WiFi Calling, however I realised that I will have to wait a long time for Android 6 to come, or any updates.
Does anyone have an BTU Serial Number I could use for Smart Switch to flash back onto my phone please?
I tried using Odin to put BTU on, but I got a NAND Write error, and I had to use Smart Switch to put it back.
My phone came with BTU, but my Serial Number shows VIR for Virgin Media
Hi,
I doubt someone is willing to give up their serial to be honest, sorry.
Have you tried smart switch emergency recovery software?

Hey guys so after trying the following software (Dr.Fone for Android by Wondershare) to recover some deleted photos off my phone i started getting some message saying: Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes.
Obviously I tried to reboot countless times, tried to do a factory reset and even wipe the Cache Partition without any success. Tried to use Smart Switch too but when going to the Emergency software recovery and Device initialization I get a warning that I need at least 800Mb free. The phone has 16Gb free space . Any solution? Throught about flashing ROM but I don't know if the bootloader is locked by default on Samsung devices and if there's even a official rom.
Thanks in advance
Which model S7?
You can use ODIN 3.12.3 or above to flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com or updato.com
Possible if you check the phone about > status in settings it will say 'Custom', flashing a stock ROM should get you back to 'Official' and remove the error
Regular S7 ( SM-G930F). I'll look into it right now Thanks
Edit : There are so many country ones but there's none for my country. Does it make such a difference? I bought my phone from Germany and use it on a daily basis in Finland. I never heard about a ROM that only works with a specific operator. Besides mine wouldn't even work here.

BTU and XEU are United Kingdom unbranded ROMs, could try one of those
The only things I've heard not working by installing different region ROMs (CSC) is stuff like WiFi Calling / VoLTE etc, haven't heard of anyone not being able to get a signal at all
Check which one you're running now, you're looking at the CSC version
Use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en_GB
Check under "CSC Code" tab to see what you're running, then match it to the ROM you download

I have galaxy s6.I am so confused right now because my phone's settings says that the model of my phone is sm-g920f but when i boot into odin mode it says that my phone model is sm-g920p.I made a little research on that so i thought my original model is sm g920p and i am looking forward to update it from marshmallow to nouget.All stock roms in internet says different things like Region and 3 letter product code etc when i try to download it.I dont know if my phone is sprint version or not so is it okey if i install different region rom? with different product code?
I guess my phone is factory unlocked because i can use any type of sim card that used in my country (i live in asia)
Sorry English is my second language so i am struggling to write that (laughter)
Conclusion:My main question is---Can i flash any roms even if its spirint rom with 3 letter product code? or i must flash the exact rom that suits my device if so how can i find if my phone is verizon or spirint etc? By the way on my device there is no service provider name like spirint.The only word i got at the back of my phone is samsung.And the other few words that i have no idea about.
Please help me. :')

You can check the phone model by looking at the back of the battery.
