As long as you didn't install the new 5.0.2. update you should be fine.

Unfortunately you are stuck with no root and no way to flash back with the OF1 update. This is their latest update.
so when i can acces to root, i just download Rom of 920I and install in my phone normally?

[q] flashing different variants

Hi, I'm new with S6 development. Been playing with SONY devices since 2011.
So the question is, can I flash a 920F stock firmware on a 920I device? Will brick my phone? Does it need a special process to make it work?
I really want to flash 920F on my 920I and I need to know if its secure.

You can't flash a firmware for the G920F on a G920I.

Greetings and welcome to xda. You can not install the firmware for a different variant you may brick your device. You can however root your device and flash a custom rom, this thread here will help you

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.

Galaxy s8+ japanese

which variant do i use for galaxy s8 from japan? Sm-G955J / SVC35
Please
variant of what? you looking to stay w/Japanese or go to another region/country?
I just want to use an operator-free rom stock, but I can still use it in Japan
Thanks for help!
What's Japan use for cell svc, GSM? Exynos phone? If so pretty much any custom Exynos ROM, with the version appropriate CSC ought to work just fine.
Maybe it's out of topic, but kinda similar with my question, and the last reply is still quite recent.
I just got a used s8+ g9550 (TGY/Hongkong). I looked at Phone Info app, it comes with Hongkong PDA & CSC (G9550ZHU1AQG6), and US version of BL & CP (G955USQU1AQGL). Still on Nougat 7.0.
It works just fine here in Indonesia. But I'm afraid it won't be getting any OTA updates since I'm not living in China. Is it actually OK to mix up the firmware (AP, CSC,BL,PDA) like that? What versions are compatible with my device?
I'm totally new here. I don't even know why there're 4 firmwares for each device, and what each one of them is for. All I know CP = Modem/Baseband, BL = Bootloader. Mind to explain it to me? Thanks

I beleive your phone is a snapdragon processor not exynos - if it is chinese, I think there may be a way to unlock the bootloader but I am not 100% sure of that. I know that the S7 Chinese was able to be unlocked but there was a special ap you had to install in order to do it.
I know I haven't helped much but I wish you good luck...
