Hello!
I travelled to China so I decided buy an S6 thinking that It could be used in Europe, un Spain concretely. It can't be used here because Google is blocked there in China. I tried to flash different kins of firmware, but It doesn't work. Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advanced!
Hi all
I have a BLN-AL10 Honor 6x which I bought few months ago and never used.
With the original firmware I tried Firmware Finder, choosing another model and I had the international version.
After that I went back to the original version, the phone updated itself to Nougat and now I am not certain if I still can make it international version.
Please, advise me, can this be done after upgrading to Nougat? If yes, which variant to chose for BLN-AL10?
Thanks in advance,
Janos

i don't recommend to do that in emui 5.0
possibly brick your device, making it unusable
I have the chance of getting for quite cheap a Chinese version of the S10e. While I've read that it should work alright where I live as it is, it seems I can't install a different International firmware. Would that prevent me from installing future custom ROMs? If yes, is it possible to change the firmware?
Also, is it possible to install a Hong Kong firmware? Both versions are G9700, but I suppose the HK firmware is more international and has Google Play.
Got the same phone last week from China. HK firmware is a must. You can easily flash it with Odin. Unfortunately you can't flash other official firmwares.

HK firmware is similar to EU or US, right? Do you get OTAs after flashing?

yeah, both the Samsung S10 Note10 series . the HK version and the China Mainland version, their hardware are all the same. So of course you can get OTA after flashing a Chinese Mainland version S10's ROM into HK version ROM.
BTW, you guys get a Chines mainland version cheap ? Chinese Mainland verion is the most expensive version for us, all of us tries to buy a HK Version Samsung smartphone and Flash it into Chinese Mainland ROM, for the HK version is Cheaper.

are you referring to Mainland S10e as SM-G9708 and HK S10e as SM-G9700? so both firmwares are interchangable?
I have a SM-G9708 (bought from China Mobile; with China Mobile bootscreen), i also got Google Services and Play Store working on it. But Google Pay doesn't work. So i thought later, when i move back to Europe, to flash HK firmware to get Google Pay working.

it's very odd that Samsung has Chinese mobile customized S10 series (which has Chinese Mobile bootscreen). ,for Samsung has less than 1% smart phone market share in China. BTB, almost all the Samsung phones' models in China Mainland has the same hardware as the HK version. So Flash a HK rom to your S10e is feasible. BTW, you can even try Unlocking oem and flash a customized ROM, available on this forum：

In the meantime i also bought a SM-G9700, which came with Mainland China Firmware (no google). This phone i flashed to HK firmware (with google) without any problem.
both phones, 9708 and 9700, are running in German language.

Hi I have a A326B/DS smartphone and the only firmware I can see online is from the Brazil region. I live in the UK and can see this was also an international model. So no idea why the only firmware online seems to be from Brazil.
My question is, I'm wanting to root/flash the device. Do I stick with the Brazil option, or should I use a A326B Firmware which looks like its from the UK (No DS on the end specific to my model)
