I am wondering if I can use odin to flash the UK firmware to my N915G device.
I am not new to the odin flashing I just haven't ever tried to put a different build of firmware on my device.
I used odin to update from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 going from the Taiwanese N915G firmware to the indian one however I am now considering trying to flash the FY firmware
If someone knows if this will work that will be great
I use this as my daily driver so don't really want to brick it
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Had a similar issue yesterday when I tried to update my rooted 5.0.2 to an official 5.1.1. I have used ODIN many times before since SGS3, and back then you were able to mix your system image from other regions, but that apparantly has been locked down by Samsung. Now you can only update an official version of the rom if it exactly matches your existing region. Because you updated your SK international S6 and tried a region set rom from Czech it most likely failed towards the very end of flash with "FAIL".
Your options are: 1) you download the 5.1.1 version for your region in ODIN format from SAMMobile or 2) you use Smart Switch and let it do it for you - in this case you will need to know the SN of your phone as it is used for verification.
Samsung has locked down the serial number with the regions that come with it. So if you have to install, you should update it or use same region odin file. There is a way to break this chain if you are rooted and some additional files are being used in the odin but I am not completely sure as I have not tried it yet. But there are chances that you may void your warranty if you try that or the worse hard brick as it can sometimes change your serial number if not used properly. but I wouldn recommend that. I'll let you know once I understand the usage correctly.
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

Just wait 2 week and we will get marshmallow on our 920i and don't brick you phone
Hi all
I have a Sim free Galaxy S6 running Android 6.0.1 BTU, I want to flash it with the Three firmware so I can use VOLTE and the 800mhz LTE. Every time I try to flash with Three firmware using odin I just get a fail.
Infact I was using Android 5.1 BTU and tried to flash Three 6.0 firmware using odin and that failed and soft bricked my phone, so I had to flash 6.0.1 BTU using odin, so I know I can flash my phone, it just doesn't seem to work with the Three firmware for some strange reason
Any help will be appreciated!
Edit: Just saw I posted this in general discussion :silly::silly: my apologies on that part
Hello everyone
I was wondering if it's normal not to get ota updates after flashing other region firmware. I got a Galazy S7 and it came with Spanish ROM - I flashed the Italian one and now to do updates I need to use Odin all the times.
I did not flash any other files other than AP. Should I have replaced the CSC as well? Any other benefit?
Using Odin doesn't bother me, but it would be easier if the phone could do everything itself.
PS: I am actually thinking of flashing the UK version of Android N! Is it good?
Thanks foir your patience
Andrea
you should use all the files ap cp csc bl
