I'm from Mexico and I have FRD-L04 model. It's supposed to be the USA model, but the firmware (in compilation) says: FRD-L04MEXC567B121. The USA model says: : FRD-L04C567B122 (without Mex and with 122)
I have read but I don't find anything about the differences or if they are the same. I hope you can help me because all about Roms and updated talk about the USA model.
MEX is for mexico, it is normal
As long as your device works perfectly in your region and you can get LTE/4G reception you should be good.
the version numbers are similar so there wont be much if anything changed between the two

So if I want to flash a updated or root and install twrp, Should I use the same files that the USA model?

Hi, I'm in the US and I received my new S7 G930F International today with baseband G930FXXU1DQB1, Android 7.0 and wish to downgrade to Marshmallow 6.01, where can I find the proper FW for this?
From what I've been able to find so far I have this,
XX = COUNTRY CODE (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom)

Hi mate
Use an app like PhoneInfo to find out what is your active CSC , this will tell you what country is the firmware from
You can flash the firmware of any country you want , just make sure that its CSC has the country specific features you need ( like Wif calling or VoLTE)

Hi mate
You have and unbranded Panamanian firmware
My question would be is it working good in the USA , are you missing any carrier option like wifi calling or VoLTE?
If not you can use any of the 6.0.1 from here (TPA)
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=TPA&v=&q=g930f&exact=1
Here you use Odin and i would use AP, BL , CP and CSC ....not quite sure if you could use home_csc to save your data, using CSC will factory reset your phone....i would use that option
This option here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvq2-XRisDI
Downgrade your phone and save your data but is not a 100% downgrade as it does not flash the bootloader and the modem.......
Why you want to downgrade anyhow?

Hi @MAX 404, thanks for that link, it's a genuine PITA sifting thru all of the firmware over there. I'm with Consumer Cellular (AT&T) and the reason for the downgrade (6.01), I want to just root (CF-Auto-Root) without a custom recovery atm.
Also, things seem to be running fine with this firmware, data etc. though I haven't used it much. I don't use WiFi calling so have no real need for that. Curious, though what would be a better or closer firmware other than Panama as I have to admit I'm a bit overwhelmed with the sheer number of firmware choices.

Yes, In the USA they do not have the G930F ( exynos chipset) they comercialice the snapdragon version.....with a lock bootloader
Myself i think the one you got is better
That is why you do not have a G930F USA firmware

Quick question, just so I'm square on this, I read somewhere but forgot where, how these files are handled, in their respective slots, CSC, CP, BL, AP but what is done if at all of the "HOME" file?
Edit: I found that it should be ignored and just use the regular CSC file, I do opt for a full wipe anyhow.

Hi
That is right , you should use home_csc only if is the same one that is in your phone and you want to keep the user date , with CSC you will wipe the phone and have a clean install...better that way

So I was searching on google and saw that ChimeraTool has the note20 Ultra on their list now.

If it has KOO already, why would you change it? Do you mind sharing where you purchased it from? Thanks!
Why doesnt dialing the service code to change the csc work on your models?
Feel free to spend 70 euros on it and report back
Have you tried using the Mysterious Dev CSC changer? (Using theme app to change the CSC)
I used that successfully on N9860 to change from TGY to BRI. I'm guessing it should be possible on N986N to get KOO.

You can only change CSC to one from the same Model phone, for example my N986B Note 20 Ultra was running EVR, which is a UK carrier CSC, and I changed it to BTU which is an unlocked UK CSC
I don't believe the HK model supports any UK CSC

No you cannot. You can only choose between TGY and BRI. Or Chinese CHC. TGY is the best of the three if you don't care about voice recording. TGY also has Smart Call (Spam ID/Hiya). BTU is an Exynos model not Snapdragon.

Change csc
Hello fellows
So my issue is a bit long so sorry for that
I got this phone 3 days ago
S908N KTC Unlocked ( I live in Middle East and the SIM is working just fine )
I didn't know that this was a branded phone from KTC, I thought it was unbranded KOO
So right now I want to change the firmware to KOO to get rid of the KTC Boot animation and the KTC bloatware/settings
So how should I do that ? Just flash the KOO firmware using Odin? do I need to change csc? is that risky and may trigger Knox and block the phone ?
and after that can I just flash like the middle east firmware ?
Thank you in advance and sorry for taking too long
I'm attaching a screenshot of the CSC and software version of service provider

Thanks for confirming
At least it appears possible to root it and maybe install a custom rom.
I assume that only the rom builders might be able to create a solution for the N version as an installation option in a rom.
However they might not be motivated due to the small number of people having the N versions. Unless of course a few of us agree to contribute in the form of a donation, then maybe a developer can play around and make it happen. What do you think?
