SM-N920W8 Marshmallow Manual Update Question - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5

Hello all!
I am the unfortunate one to own a Wind Mobile variant of the Note 5. There is no ETA on the Marshmallow update unfortunately. Meanwhile Bell, Telus, and several other carriers have released the update already.
What I am wondering is if I can flash the Bell .tar via Odin to my Wind Note 5. All Canadian variants are N920W8, so I dont think there is much of a difference (besides bloatware). The download from sammobile.com includes the BL, AP and CP. Would it be missing possibly the kernel or bootloader?
I've been out of the flashing game for way too long, and don't care about tripping my Knox. Just sick of trailing behind on 5.1, and if this doesnt work I'm almost considering the 6P.
Thank you!

Seems like this might do the trick.

I was hoping to not install TWRP and just flash stock, but it of course failed. I resurrected it from the dead with the above link. Thank you!

[OFFICIAL] Korean Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900S/L/K)

I haven't found an official thread yet about this device. Figured, I should get one going. The Korean variant is always different (at least in my past experiences with my SGSI, II, III, and Galaxy Tab. None of the rooting/mods work with the Korean versions.
I just got my phone yesterday, so hopefully we can get some resources and information flowing.
Hopefully some other peoples have this phone as well and we can work this out together!
Stayed tuned, hopefully I can get this thing going!

Chainfire is always on top of these phones and always gets some of the Korean stuff done as well.
Here is a link for his CF-Auto Root. Be careful though and read the thread. It could have problems with KNOX as well, and at the very least, void your warranty.
Always, READ READ READ!

Finally a thread for Korean variants! I've got myself a N900L (LGU+ Model).
As for the rooting, URDLV, kingoapp, vroot method seemed to work. At least mine was successfully rooted without tripping the KNOX flag.
MOP 3.85 currently doesn't support Korean variants, so no luck with flashing latest firmware with MOP.
Still hope MOP would support these models someday.

Coming from the SGSIII, I have no idea what those methods are about.
You seem like you've gotten a bit accomplished so far. Where did you find the roots?
What is MOP?

ROOTing Method
1. RDLV: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487916
[Moderators under investigation]
2. vRoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502967
3. Kingoapp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499546
vRoot and Kingoapp is currently under investigation, so you should find the tool by yourself.
If you firmware above MJ6, you might have a new bootloader and trip KNOX warranty flag using either of the two tools.
(saw one guy claiming that he tripped KNOX flag with MJ8 firm via vRoot)
MOP is just short for Mobile ODIN Pro. Since MOP doesn't mess up with bootloader, it is considered only way to upgrade above MJ5 while keeping ROOT and KNOX.

Awesome, yeah I usually only us MOP.
Mine came with MJ8 already loaded on it.........So, I should try RDLV then possibly?

RDLV seems to work on MJ1 as people (like me with the MJ5) who tried past the MJ3 update tripped the knox flag 0x1. afterwards, i haven't checked that forum or the kingoapp forum, so it could have changed since then.
Edit: deleted the rest of the post since i replied to you in a different forum with all of the links...

G920F flashing update with odin

Hello everyone. I joined Galaxy S6 community today with the phone that I bought from a my who went to Dubai. It's G920F. It currently have 5.0.2 with baseband G920FXXU1AOE3. I'm planning to download stock 5.1.1 rom from Samfirmware and flash it through Odin. I know that It won't trip knox but I wonder if there will be any problems caused by different region roms. I also want to learn If using the device in another region block ota updates? Or I also wonder if flashing another stock rom will block ota updates. Since it's the first android device I plan to use without root, I am a bit cautious about OTA updates.
I also wonder if shutter speed settings came with 5.1.1. I tried Camera FV5 and couldn't find them
I'm thinking to flash Netherlands rom.
Thank you for answering.
Flashing ROMs via odin won't trip knox. You recieve OTA updates anywhere around the world irregardless of ROM as long as its stock and knox not tripped. Here's Dubai ROM:

Official 7.0 downgrade 6.0.1 possible?

Hello Guys. The new 7.0 BTU firmware for g930f downgrade 6.0.1 is possible? Knox warranty 0x0?
Yes it possible and it dont trigger knox. But why the hell you wanna downgrade? Nougat is so much better than MM
Sent from my SM-G930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Thanks for fast reply. Can you try the downgrade? I would like to know before I flash that it works.
You want us to do the dirty work for you? Who are you? Why is your phone and your time more valuable than ours? You have all instructions here on XDA and do it yourself. Its not hard.
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
I asked only that someone had tried to downgrade. You do not have to do a jerk style comment.
Yes you can downgrade back to Marshmallow using ODIN or SmartSwitch, KNOX 0x0

The Answer is; Yes you can!
But, this can only be done on international Galaxy S7, S7 edge variants, including the American and Canadian version, but except to those device with built in “locked bootlooader” such as the Verizon and AT&T Galaxy S7, S7 edge models or we can say models with Snapdragon Processor.
Devices with unlocked bootloaders can be freely downgrade-able, but those with highly secured bootloader cannot be messed around.
As long as you flash the original firmware with ODIN, you'll not have any problem for unlocked bootloaders.
Download the Firmware from Sammobile or use SamFirm. Flash it through ODIN and you are good to go.:good:

Flash SM-G930F firmware on SM-G930L phone?

Hey everyone,
I picked up an S7 SM-G930L yesterday which has come with a lot of bloat.
I'm hoping I can just flash over it with the SM-G930F international firmware. Does anyone know if this is possible?
I tried searching for an answer in other threads, but couldn't find anything which said it would be possible. There's a bit on the US variants of the S7, but I found little about the G930L.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that if you are planning on using Odin to Flash a different Firmware it's going to fail... That's based on my experience trying to Flash Tmo Firmware on a Canadian Note device (accidentally by the way) - But it definitely failed..... You may have better luck with the S7 - But I wouldn't count on it.

No man. It won't work. Just use a custom firmware and by the way, g930l has an unlocked bootloader.

I have tried mine bro. It just don't work. Odin keeps on failing.
Thanks for the replies.
However, I actually noticed on the back of the phone that the model is SM-G930S, despite the firmware being SM-G930L under the settings.
Seems like the shop I bought it from (refurbished) have reflashed it. I may actually give it a go and try the G930F firmware.
Does anyone know if I try another firmware if it will brick/cause an issue with the phone? E.g. will it wipe/reset the phone, or require me to reflash the original?
Also got smg930l phone. Please let me now if you find any solutions. Sms on this is really sucks.

As a fellow U1 owner, I advise to be careful when flashing stuff on here. While we CAN use G950U-targeted ROMs, We have the unbranded XAA ROM, and most of the ROMs posted here are carrier branded. It doesn't really harm the phone, but adds bloatware. PartCyborgRom added a bunch of AT&T preloaded apps, so I went back to stock. That in itself is a bit tricky as the phone wanted to OTA AT&T version of the ROM then. Had to find an XAA stock tar and flash CSC as well (even tho I don't think I flashed CSC during my PartCyborgRom install). On the plus side I managed to do all this without tripping Knox at least.
G950U1 OTA current seems to be G950U1UES3CRE2 and this is with the May 2018 update. So this could be June update, but maybe not. Even with AOSP sometimes Android doesn't release the security updates for a month until the middle of the month, so to believe that Samsung already ..modified.. the update for their own ROM is a little suspicious. But whatever.
To answer your question, yes, it should work. But, I wouldn't do it.
