In sammobile you can find us version with no carrier but you have to flash it with a custom compilation firmware so you can change the csc to us(because the csc does not change automatically flashing another region or carrier firmware) if you don't change the csc you can not get OTA updates

Update for SM-P905 (baseband no: P905XXUANA7 build no: P905XXUANC3) ?

Hi guys,
Am I mistaken or is this the last samsung note pro in the known universe to receive an update to lollipop? I understand it's been a long wait for all note pro users. Does anyone here have an idea when this particular model SM-P905 (baseband no: P905XXUANA7 build no: P905XXUANC3) will receive an update?

why wouldn't you use odin ?!

Unless I've missed something, the firmware for my specific model isn't available from sammobile, so I can't use odin to update.

I guess you don't have to flash a specific firmware since you have the international 905 model !!
Mine was from italy and i flashed UAE firmware without problems !!

Oh. I feel so newb (And I'm a tech guy...awkward....lol). Mine is running stock kitkat (4.4.2). I rooted it a while back, but so far, have not flashed it with any rom. Correct me if I'm wrong - international version means that all the LTE/radio bands are unlocked? I can't flash it with Deodex.Root.Xposed, as I'm not running stock lollipop. Which rom did u flash yours with?
Chris
You should be able to use Odin to flash any of the released 905 version lollipop updates from sammonbile. You will lose your root however.

Thanks for the link, however, I live in Australia, so according to sammobile, there's no lollipop firmware for this country:

Since your going to flash it yourself just choose any region (pick one thats on 5.1.1) and flash that. Then just change the language and time zone settings during set up and you should be good to go. Many US customers with the 905 used this method when other countries were getting the original 5.0.1 update before them. Worked fine.

Thanks for the info. Cool. I'll keep an eye out for 5.1.1. If I'm not mistaken, most are 5.0.2 at the moment, except AT&T.

Need assistance on upgrading to Nougat

Hey Team,
I have a S7 that is unlocked but originally from CWW (Jamaica). I have yet to receive the Nougat update. I am using the phone on Virgin Mobile and I am in Canada. How do I go about getting the Nougat update? I tried Manual update from settings, no luck. Tried Smart Switch and no luck..
Change the CSC? If so can someone please provide me a walk through in doing so.
Update: I followed these intructions and was successful in flashing that firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/nougat-samsung-pay-step-step-guide-t3544582
Now how do I get the Virgin firmware on the phone?
Thank You

Why would you want to? Besides yours is a 930f, don't think you can flash w8 firmware on it.

moving to another carrier, what about future firmware updates?

I'm moving my SM-920V from Verizon to Tmobile. My baseband version is currently specific to Verizon so when I switch will my future firmware updates be coming from Tmobile and will the baseband version change to reflect Tmobile?
I guess what I'm confused about is if I were to manually download and install a future firmware would I be looking for one that is Tmobile branded for my phone?

if you are going to change just sim card then you will never get updates from tmobile but if you change your cell phone to tmobile variant then you will get them.

That is what I was mainly wondering. So it sounds like it is safe to download the tmobile firmware for my model of S6 and install that firmware when I move to Tmobile? Or did you mean if I change out my actual phone (hardware) to a Tmobile variant?

ohhhh. So if I want to update it after I move to Tmobile I guess I have to find a current version of the SM-920V and install that update?

I found sammobile but you have to pay for the download of the firmware, is there another source that doesn't have a thousand click bait ads?

Thanks, while it's downloading, I'll give it the good college try to try to find a current version online too but so many places are full of clickbait links that they're worthless.
I would *consider* signing up with sammobile but I hate to give any cc info out to online places like that.

yes offcourse you can undo
just download stock fw via sammobile.com/firmware
use odin to downgrade
make sure you are not having sprint/att/verizon version of edge
mean you must have unlocked international version of s7 edge and knox must be intact

Its European and Asian version I think, SM-G935FD. Also its in warranty, If I downgrade it using this method, Will it void its warranty?

S9 plus not receiving OTA after moving to another country

Hi,
I used to live in US and got an S9 plus from AT&T. I moved to India (in July 2018), got it unlocked by getting the unlock code and procedure legitimately from AT&T. Put a Vodafone India sim card. It works fine since but I have not received a single update since. Last update is June 2018.
In sw information Service Provider SW version shows
SAOMC_SM-G965U_OYN_ATT_OO_0073
.......
ATT/ATT/ATT
As I use this phone for work, our company mobile management tools prevent the use of rooted phones. How can I start receiving official OTA updates without tempering with the legit status of the device.
Thanks.

Because Vodafone does not offer updates for your model number. The carrier controls the updates and which devices are supported via update. Your device is not a Vodafone device, it is an AT&T device being used on the Vodafone network. If the original AT&T US stock firmware version is working fine, you should be able to download any updates that are available for your specific model number and then flash them manually.

Thank you for the answer. What will be the legitimacy status of the device after that? How do I flash manually an update? Do I need to use Odin or similar, since Samsung tools look at the CSC?
Thanks for your help!

Yes, use Odin. Find the updated firmware, just make sure it is for your specific model number and your region/carrier.
