Can one flash the HK rom to a CHinese model? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Was this ever solved?
If i buy a mainland CHinese model can I then flash the HK rom to get gps or no?
or did anyone living on the mainland find a reliable retailer online?
Ive tried searching on jd / taobao but can't tell what's real and what's not...

bump... also can anyone explain the region lock thing? such as hong kong to mainland or hong kong to u.s?

CSL is probably referring to "Hong Kong CSL Pte Ltd" a telco provider in HK, so that may explains why this hotfix is only available in HK.

Because the Studio On Demand is a service provided by CSL Hong Kong
Because some Problems only happens with HK CSL sim card!!
e.g.
Can not send SMS with HK CSL sim card (Fine with other telecom service providers such as 3HK, Smartone and so on)!!

[Q] Buying Nexus 5 from Hong Kong for UK use

Hi
I am in China at the moment and was looking to get a Nexus 5 from Hong Kong. My questions are:
1. Will I be able to use the HK version or the N5 in China?
2. Will I be able to use the HK N5 in the UK?
3. Are any N5 phones region locked such that they have to be activated in the country of purchase before being used in another country?
If there is no problem, then I will buy from HK as the price is 3588 HK Dollars for the 32GB version which equates to around £280 (saving £60)... I am thinking of getting 2 so the savings will add up.... but only if it works in China and the UK as I travel between these countries a lot...
Thanks in advance....

You should be fine...
Unless there is a variant of the Nexus that we don't know about in China.

[Q] Is there any difference between the Chinese one of OPO and the international one?

I want to buy the OPO but my throwback is the country I live in, Bangladesh. As you know, 16 countries are officially available to the supply of OPO and Bangladesh is not listed on it. Surprisingly one of the dealers in Bangladesh is selling OPO at a rate of $488.75 (US Dollar) for the Chinese Version.
So my query is that is there any difference between the Chinese version and the international version or are they both identical. And why is the Chinese version so widely available where as the International version is as bad as extinct?
Anyone Help? Thanks in advance xD

Thanks. Could you tell me if I'm going to be able to use LTE and 3g in USA or in countries in Europe? I'm a student and I'm going to change countries for better education in a year. So I need to know if LTE and 3G will work properly on major carriers in USA or in countries in Europe. Thanks for your help earlier though, really appreciate the time you taken to do the researches for my help. Thanks.

HK is only selling S6 SM-G9200 32GB(Dual sim) and S6 Edge 32/64GB SM-9250.

Are you go to HK personally or say physically? If not, you can buy it off this site online and ship to your country. If you don't need dual sim, I will suggest you buy elsewhere because G9200/G9250 got very few custom roms.

Thanks.. I arrive personally in Hong Kong in two weeks. I want to buy a galaxy S6
but only 920F or 920I.. I will NOT buy a dual sim device... Any store recommended for me?

http://www.expansys.ph/samsung-store/
I was there and the other week and only saw the G9200/G9250 on sale in most of the shops and at the Airport
I am also looking for SM-925F model and I am in Hong Kong but I am having no luck.
I ordered mine on Yatango it comes from HK and it's the 920F model, I wonder with what firmware/charger it will ship?

How to change the device region ?

Hello
My friend send me a gift samsung galaxy s8+ 128 6gb ram
The device from hong kong and i an in uae
Phone is working very good but samsung apps not
When i use samsung pay app i got msg ( do you want to install samsung pay hong kong)
Samsung member app is empty
I am looking for a way to change the region from hong kong to middle east or uae
Thank you
That device, the one with 128GB and 6GB of RAM from Hong Kong (SM-G9550), is quite unique, as it's different hardware from the others. There's no alternate firmware from other countries that you can flash, like the other models have.
Someone else who has one may be able to confirm otherwise, but I'm quite sure it's not possible to flash another region firmware on these particular models because they are unique.
this is the problem i can't use other firmware
i hope there is other way also i will call samsung in my country to check with them if they can help me
i called samung in my country and they inform me that there is no way to change the region
