G930FD

That should be fine, the G930FD is used internationally so swapping region firmwares would work. You can get different firmware from sammobile.com or updato.com.
You can also flash G930F firmware if you don't find the G930FD firmware you're after, and the dual SIM should still work. At least that's what I've read here.

[Q] Need help on Stock Firmware for SM-G920FD Dual Sim version

Hi,
Update:
Can someone help me find any download source of this firmware,
Galaxy S6 DUOS, SM-G920FD
As I wanted to revert back to my unrooted + clean version of my phone when new update to Lollipop comes.
And if I feel to just reset everything, (sluggish/crawling) performance on my phone, a full flashing of stock firmware will be a good solution for me.
But unfortunately, from SamMobile firmware website, they do not have that kind of firmware on my phone.
Can you please, if any, share your firmware . Any help will be appreciated.
Details:
AP: G920FXXU1AODE
CP: G920FXXU1AODE
CSC: G920FOJV1AODE
Model: SM-G920FD
Android version: 5.0.2
A sigh of relief, i have found an existing post from this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61221936&postcount=226, a big thanks to him, its the one Im looking for
However, the firmware I have says that the CSC is from Mauritius , Im looking for CSC flashables from Philippines, FAM, GLB, OLB*, SMA, XTC, XTE
I wonder if someone could share their *CSC only zip file from Philippines, so that I could change mine. Im not sure CSC does have any issues with single sim versus dual sim?
Up this thread. Anyone?
Sammobile stock S6 firmware. Just choose your country.

I can assure you that any countries with SM-G920F is compatible with all international s6 dual phones .
I already tested firmwares of SM-G920F from Afghanistan, France, Egypt etc. It works fine for our Dual Sim version( SM-G920F)
does OTA still works after you changed firmware with a different one from other region?
G920F and G920FD firmware compatibility
There is no compatibility between the stock firmware of s6 (G920F) and s6 duos (g920fd). I tried and messed up with my phone and now got stuck on bootloader.
i suggest you use Z3X to download the firmware for G920FD because till now there is no firmware support at sammobile. i got one from z3x support

A Galaxy s6 with edge firmware D: !!!

Hi guys!
This is my story
I bought a Galaxy s6 today in japan akihabara, a "sim free" phone..., I was checking the phone at a restaurant and I found that this cell have a edge firmware
The number model is: SM-G9250
but the real model is: SC-05G
At the moment works fine, but I would like to root it with a real S6 firmware, not a edge firmware...
Do you have any information which firmware can I use? I need it sim free.
Thanks!!
pd: I don't want a iphone, please help :'(

Flash a stock SM-G9200 firmware of your carrier or your country

The firmware must match the device variant of the S6 when flashing. Flashing another modem or bootloader will cause a soft brick. I'm not sure how the edge firmware got flashed onto a S6 but flashing another variant of firmware onto a different phone will DEFINITELY cause soft brick.
Then find a SC-05G Firmware. I dont know if sammobile lists that.

Flash a different regional firmware?

Can I flash a different regional firmware to my G930F? My G930F came with Trinidad and Tobago CSC, build number and I want to flash the UK firmware so I can receive the latest update.

Will I be able to unbrick it through ODIN if something goes wrong? I want to do Dual SIM to Single SIM conversion just for the sake of quick updates.
I'm not sure how different the international S7 variants are from each other. But here in the US they are all the same except for the software so I heard. I got a Sprint S7 to which I wanted to use on T-mobile. So I flashed Tmobile's firmware on my sprint variant and turn out great, have wifi calling and everything is working great.
So it couldn't hurt to try it if you know what you're doing and like you said, worse is just odin back to your stock firmware.

I have the 920F S6 that came with UAE firmware. I flashed XEF France firmware with no issue and assume the same would be true on the S7.

The UAE s6 you had was Dual SIM. And you flashed Single SIM firmware, right?

International variants have two versions. Dual SIM and Single SIM. Will doing this ODIN process void warranty or trip any counter?
I flashed the UK firmware on my s7 and it worked. I had the Trinidad and Tobago firmware before. I have the latest update now.

I see. I'm certain it doesn't void warranty but not 100% sure. No knox tripped for me so I assume you'll be ok also.

It shouldn't had been with UAE firmware. It was most likely US/International version. BTW it was better getting one from Souq instead of Amazon. Haven't seen Amazon mostly do international shipping on smartphone.

for future reference, you should check frequencies used by both carriers before flashing

if they dont match, you could have trouble with internet speed or battery life.

Use Firmware Of A Different Model

Hi,
I have a S8+ with the model SM-G955FD and was wondering if I am able to download the firmware for the model SM-G955F?
The phone was purchased outside of Australia and doesn't use the Australian (Telstra) firmware that I would like it to. I just figured they are the same phone just different model numbers so there shouldn't be any issues right? I might just lose a couple features or something but the phone should work correctly?
Thanks in advance.
Yea, the G955FD is the dual SIM Exynos variant, right?
I'm sure the dual SIM uses the same firmware as the single SIM, so you should have no worries flashing Aussie firmware.
But I would suggest you flash the XSA (Aussie unbranded) firmware, not Telstra firmware. You'll lose nothing, but you'll get faster updates.

I thought as much, thanks so much for clarifying. I will download the XSA firmware as well.

Hi there I am a silly person who purchased a Galaxy S8+ from Kogan which is flashed with Emirates firmware
Its model SM-G9f55FD G955Fxxu1AQL5
No VOlte and Samsung pay etc
I need to use Telstra network (im rural but in a VOLTE area) and so I need to flash it with Australian Firmware so it gets all the local features.
I would just like to know how I know what chipset to use - I dont think its snapdragon
And where to get the firmware.

Here's the XSA (Australia) firmware:
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=0C53FCC1D0CA11E7A5F9FA163EE8F90B
Flash it. Doesn't matter if your device is G955F or FD, the ROMs are exactly the same.
Does the method works with G955J SCV35 model? I'm running NTDocomo firmware on KDDI model to unlock network (single SIM) . I wan't to flash unlocked U firmware but getting scared that the phone will be bricked.

Installing G930FD on G930F

Hi
Anyone trying installing G930FD on G930F. I have an australian Galaxy S7 which I want to flash with Indian G930FD. I want to do this because, I am giving away my mobile to one of my family member in India.
Thanks in Advance
Most 930F and FD firmware is the same package and should work on both devices.

FD are dual SIM ROM. For weird reason, Samsung only released Dual Sim variant only in India.
Firmware is still the same, it just goes by hardware detection. If a second SIM is present the firmware reads it, if not then it doesn't. You can technically make a G930F dual SIM by changing the board and faking a second IMEI.
Here's a few previous questions on the same topic
