As the titles says: I'd like to request the firmware files for the Canadian variant from the Samsung Open Source website, as just about every other model has their firmware files uploaded and ready for download. Could somebody please give me some pointers on how to request said files, please? There are a lot of options that I can see leading to something fruitful, but I don't know which would submit the correct ticket.

Doubt that it's possible since North American models are bootloader locked and therefore don't benefit from open source

The USA version is up and downloadable. I've also spotted some A536W firmware files up for download on third-party websites (which seem to be reliable), but I just want to make sure I'm not getting files that've been tampered with in any way, I suppose

Ok so I would like an unbranded ROM for my 1020 but when I put in my product code etc the only ROM I find is the standard one from my carrier, so how does one install an unbranded ROM and how do you know which one to use as they all seem linked to carriers? thanks

All is explicated.
thanks but when I put in my product code I only see the standard ROM from my carrier, how do I get a 'naked' ROM?

In the link I passed you, post #1 explains how to flash, post #2 explain a lot of things on the Product Code.
If you do not understand, I don't you re-explain anything.
Hello! According to your website, in order to flash my Lumia 920 it is necessary to use the device product code to download its available software. Is it possible to use the phone product code in a different country to get the software available for that country?
In Other words, my device is AT&T unlocked (United States). Can I use the product code of the same device but in another country such as Egypt-the Middle east in order to download the software of that country (Egypt).
And if possible, does that make my phone unbranded?
Thank you very much.

Hi Everyone.
I'm currently using a refubrished Galaxy S8 plus, the model is SM-G955U.
As you can guess this is a phone destined for the USA market but currently I'm using it in Bangladesh which is in another continent.
As a result i didn't receive any updates after purchasing the phone and whenever i try to download update manually it says, "Registration Failed"
Can anyone help me to update my phone? I have attached screenshots in which you can see the current software version of the device.
Also if updating to official Samsung software isn't possible then can anyone suggest me custom ROMs for this model!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You should get updates automatically irrespective of your location. Try the site https://firmware.science/ and select your phone and firmware version and follow the instructions .

Failed registration may be because of the fact you aren't using a US SIM card.
U models also.. don't have much custom ROM abilities. It's a locked Snapdragon. You can use firmware sites to be able to download updates respective of the model number.

Depends a little on what is happening.
If you don't get an OTA download, but you see on SamFirm that there is an new firmware for your phone. This can sometimes happen, in that case one way to resolve it is to download the new firmware from a reliable source and flash the phone with Odin. Once done it generally resolves itself, and the next OTA just works normally.
If there aint a new firmware for your phone like its a carrier specific version for your phone, then your out of luck, as you will have to wait for your carrier to make it available. Now in this case there are sometimes options, like i had one phone with a carrier software, but i could also flash the regions general firmware that was available, or one from an other european country. But how this works for your country, you will have to look that up.

Thanks bro i usually download with friza and never encountered any issues but il take your suggestion...my device is open and unlocked we in india dont get carrier locked devices bro...also can u share a valid and reliable link for sm-s908e with ins as region...thanks bro
For unlocked devices the upgrades usually take longer because they need to be sure that it will work with all possible carriers. As an example, I have a carrier unlocked device in Argentina and only 2 days ago I finally received the Android 13 update. So, did you checked in the official pages that there is a new version for your phone?

There should also be a lot of Indian people who wrote about flashing the rom of you phone in your own language.
