HI, im in china, I bougth the chinese version I thought i would work well here because im stuck here for a while (years), but I didnt get PAY and most of the things I cant get are the chinese apps and it seems that I cant get other functions available for other regions.
I want to ask if some body can get "baidu maps" "alipay" and other apps like those in other countries cos im thinking to change the Code to see if my Watch will work better ?????

Question Help me choose firmware update for my unlocked s21+

Here are the things that get me confused:

}
So i suspecting my ota update not working so ive done some search.
IMEI info shows my phone region is CCT.
But service provider software version shows SAOMC_SM_G996U_OYN_GCF_RR_0010 GCF/GCF/XXA
Which tells the phone CSC is XXA right?
But from website https://samfw.com, firmware for CSC: XXA is for model SM-G996U1.
So the question is, since my current software version from the CSC: CCT list in the website, if I update to latest firmware for CSC: CCT, will it relock my phone?
Or should I choose the firmware for CSC: XXA? Thanks in advance.

If it's running well... I wouldn't update anything.
Updates tend to break things.
It's the first apk I package disable.
Many apps including system ones I leave at their factory load versions particularly Gmail and Gmaps. Playstore will need updating eventually or it will fail.
Two months ago the forced Wearables update screwed up my Buds+ sound bad. That was a pain to fix... now Wearables updates are firewall blocked.
Be careful what you wish for

Question Differences between Flip3 versions

I have a Flip 3 version of the SM-F711B. What are the hardware differences with other versions of SM-F7110, SM-F711N, SM-F711U, SM-F711U1, SM-F711W?
Can I flash to my Flip3 version of the SM-F711B via Odin software designed for other versions? For example, for the SM-F711N version, software with Android 12 was released on December 15, 2021, can I flash it to my Flip3 version of the SM-F711B?

As far as I know, you cannot flash OEM images across different hardware revisions.

Nothing, the phone will reject the software because of a bootloader id mismatch
As far hw differences, the korean version has different antennae and modem software

Thank you for the information.

Hi, Just a question, can I install another region firmware?, e.g. SM-F711B PANAMA to SM-F711B Colombia?

Ok, so I went ahead and decided to download multiple firmwares from S908B page on Samm website and after realizing they were all the same file (size was the same to the kilobit), I flashed only one to test, the BLE variant, which I believe is UK unbranded.
It did not work, Samsung pay was still unavailable. The thing that is funny, is that, my phone has a brazilian sim card, in brazil and it still register as EUX in the About Software section.
These multiple CSC firmwares are all registering as EUX in my phone, I dont know why.
Now I should Rephrase my initial question, which changed from is it safe to change firmware to:
How the hell can we get samsung pay on the S908B (Exynos) variant?

There are Russian websites that have obscure firmware for cloned devices. Use a translator and post in those forums to get help finding a firmware that will work or can be made to work on your device. Cloned devices don't really have true support here at XDA, most users here focus on flagship and upper tier mid ranged devices.
There may also be a way for you to install a Linux or Ubuntu OS on the device to replace the stock firmware.
You need to see about opening the device to verify what motherboard and CPU series it actually has because you can't always trust that the installed software is showing the correct information.

@manlgonzlz92 hello OP, I have removed your first picture as it contains your device IMEI.
You can read further: https://security.stackexchange.com/...k-of-leaking-imei-imsi-numbers-over-a-network

I am also looking for a firmware that can be used with this model, as the device is relatively ok build but the original firmware is full of bugs
