Is it possible to downgrade to different region and older firmware?

Hello, I currently have SM-G9208 S6 on 6.0.1 which is Taiwan model.
The problem is I live in Australia and with Vodafone and their current firmware for SM-G925I is 5.1.1.
The reason I want to use older firmware for Vodafone is to be able to use voLTE.
Currently I don't have voLTE option on my phone.
So can anyone help me out? Also if possible to I need to wipe everything out as well?
Thanks

Galaxy S7 duos 4g/lte mhz???

Hi everybody.
I'm from Italy. In Italy we haven't got galaxy s7 in dual sim version, but i need it.
I can buy it outside Europe, through e-commerce. The problem is that the seller doesn't know the precise code of the model, he only knows that is dual sim and sim free. I would to know if there are different models of galaxy s7 duos sim free, and what are the 4g/lte frequency, to understand if it's compatible with italian sim operators.
Thank you.

There are 2 that i know of.
SM-G930FD - This is the "European" model, u can install Single Sim ROM and Dual sim will work ( faster updates from samsung )
SM-G9300 - Chinese / Vietnam version , no Google Play and some Chinese apps .
About bands, read on those 2 pages
Thank you a lot.
We waiting for other utents if they know other versions.
A question: what means "u can install Single Sim ROM and Dual sim will work"? Is it necessary to change ROM to use the telephone?

No, i just did it because mine came with CSC for Nigeria. I choose an rom for XEU ( UK/Ireland Unbranded ) because they receive updates faster then others, and is closer to me then Nigeria ^^
ok, i understand.
Is this procedure invalidate warranty?

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.

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
