[Q] Is it possible to upgrade Samsung FW in region where isn't officially supported?

I own Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 NT-8000 and live in country where OTA updates are not available yet. Probably they will never be So I want to update FW manually through ODIN. I've read many how to manuals but still not sure if I upgrade new SAMSUNG FW in region where It is not still available will be still able to make calls and use data services. I will be upgrading last original FW by Samsung 4.1.2. And which FW should i use ? Internetional Thx for any suggestions.

Yes you can update using ODIN bother the tutorial and the firmware can be found on the links in my signature.
I would suggest use the UK 8010 Rom, 4.1.2 is not available for your device the one which is there is for 8000 it can work but will not suggest

Thanks for replay i want to upgrade last supported fw it is 4.1.1. With 4.1.2 that was misstake. I got rooted my device so first i should to unistall supersu thant restore original loader used to install supersu than reset my device to default settings and perform fw update.

you can use the n8000 rom. I have used it on my n8010 with no problems at all everything working great. Flashed with cwm 6.0.2.3, only thing is you will have telephone features that that wont work and your device model will change from 8010 to 8000

Im still not sure about 2 things. First as I mentioned in previous topic, I have performed ClockworkMod Recovery through ODIN before rooting . should I first restore previous recovery mod and then upgrade firmware?
Is this FW suitable for my device base on img which i post in topic above?

Link is from your download topic It should be 4.1.2 for N8000
Last question about your FW Is it original FW or is it somehow modified ?

Or should I install this one ?

Mate, it is the stock German rom. Either link will get you the same rom. There is a new German 4.1.2 rom out that gets rid of the exynos exploit.
You can find ALL stock roms at sammobile.com in the firmware section(you will need to register to download).
You need to unzip the file first, don't try to flash with CWM as IT WON'T WORK. You flash the .tar file in the PDA section of ODIN. MAKE SURE RE-PARTITION IN ODIN IS UNTICKED... Let the whole procedure finish, disconnecting throughout the flashing process will result in a brick.You will need to re-root the tablet after this.
On the other hand, you can flash the tar file in Mobile ODIN on the tablet itself and maintain root doing this.

[Q] What Variant is my S6?

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

If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to download it here. You may want to check your baseband and all that good stuff, but this is supposedly for the India variant G930FD.

I would try too, but we need a pit ...

I highly doubt this is possible although on paper the only difference is the amount of RAM. The G955N is actually the Korean variant so surely you want to stick with that rather than trying to flash a European build either way.

Cross flash firmware.

I am on 955F. But latest update is available for my phone via over the air is version R16NW.G955FXXU4CRI5
Also i live in Canada and my phone is sim unlocked and using telus. Is this why I havnt recieved the newest update? Can i cross flash new G955F firmware using odin?

Can anyone answer me please?

Please guys. Can i cross flash any G955F firmware? Some one has to know lol

Did you try to download the newest firmware via sammobile.com? Just tap your SM-G955XXX model and download the firmware, then flash it via ODIN.

But my question is can i flash any g955f firmware from any region?
