[Q] Can we flash any region firmware? - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My current Firmware states I9195XXUAMF5. I'm having issues with this FM I think, such as WiFi disconnects and lagging in games that shouldn't be lagging. I also had these problems on my previous S4 Mini that got replaced.
The newest FM at the moment seems to be MH5 but it's New Zealand region however I'm in the UK on T-Mobile/EE.
Is flashing this new firmware advisable to see if it fixes my issues?

I think that Samsung's "region lock" will not let you do that.
I flashed generic UK ROM (I9195XXUAMH2_I9195OXXAMH4_BTU) via Odin and all ok. No issues with Wi-Fi or signal.

[Q] Which i9192 modem to use in Europe?

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy S3 already and have been following this forum for a while, but I have never had problems with it as with this one. It's about my Galaxy S4 mini DUOS (i9192). I've bough the phone from an unofficial seller because i9192 was never supposed to be imported in Croatia (EU). The phone came with I9192XXUAMF7 build and modem. Today I've expereinced that the phone was running fine but I couldn't make any calls and nobody could call me untill I've taken out the battery and SIM. It was runnign on one SIM only. Network was OK and signal was full. I' would like to change the modem to see if that's the problem.
My question is - has anyone experienced anything similar or has changed the XXUAMF7 modem? I'm located in Croatia (Europe) and the closest country modem localisation is Ukraine. Should I change it to Ukraine modem?

Thanks for the notice! I have SGS 3 and it has no Knox bootloaders so I'm not familiar with it but from what I've read it's a no no. My original bootloader is stock Samsung. No Knox icons in download mode. I just might try your ROM. Have been reading about it just a few minutes ago.
I've been listing sammobile FWs and it gives me Russian and Ukrainian ROMs. You're suggesting I give one of them "a spin"?

S4 Mini i9195 Stock Firmware KK?

I can't find a STOCK FW for the i9195. By stock, I mean something without a carrier name at the end, when surfing sammobile.com. To be more specific, I'm looking for the latest (4.4.2) FW with Romanian (XXUCNEA or something similar) and stock.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

For now there is no version for ROM
Only Vodafone Romania,
Only nonbranded one is Spain, New Zeland , Slovakia , Germany
In that case, can Romanian be added later?

U mean language ? or ROM firmware version
If u mean firmware u have to ask samsung WHEN they will release for other countries
If u mean language, Romanian is available in all versions i think
Here's the thing: the phone was just purchased from Orange and I'm not conforable with the bloatware. I was looking for the latest KK clean ROM and I settled with the Spain version.
What I'm asking now is offtopic and it's about a way to CLEAN flash a ROM. I was wondering about this when a problem occured with the signal. It kept droping and I read it had something to do with the firmware.
So, is there a way to clean flash a ROM on a Samsung?

A520F firmware compatibility of Single SIM firmware and Dual SIM firmware

Hi guys
I known that this A5 2017 model have two types.
1) A520F - Single SIM model
2) A520F/DS - Dual SIM model
I have question of Dual SIM model and single sim model firmware compatibility.
Q#1)What if i flashed Single sim firmware (EX)AU-Vodafone, CSC:VAU) on dual sim hardware model (A520F/DS),
Is it working only Single sim mode? or it can working Dual sim mode even Single sim firmware(VAU)?
Q#2) if Q#1 is true and flashed Single sim firmware then restore to Dual sim firmware (like India, Taiwan, UAE regions firmware will support Dual SIM),
Is it restored fully dual sim mode from Single sim firmware ? I am worrying if i flashed Single sim firmware then back to Dual sim firmware, modem(Like IMEI #1, #2)/baseband information lost or not
and bootloader locked by previous(Single sim) flashed bootloader. Also it it void Knox warranty? I known that official firmware cross flash is not void know warranty, is it correct?
Thank you
Just flash with odin, know will not be triggered by flashing official firmware.
Just test it, u won't lose ur data en if anything went wrong just flash your stock firmware back.

N976B firmware question

Hey guys...I have a Note 10 plus 5G from UK, but I am using it in another country (Romania). We have 5G here as well, so this is not the problem. The firmware on the phone is not the latest, but it doesnt find the new one via OTA. I checked the firmware site and there are the August one there. So the question is, if I upgrade via Odin, with one of those FW, will it lock to an UK carrier? Or a German one, or other? Or will it remain unlocked and no issues there?
Thanks!

If the phone is unlocked. The firmware you install on it will not lock it..

Indeed, thank you, did that, all went fine.
I have a similar question. I have a EE unit note 10+ 5g and was wondering if flashing the UK non ee version with a different CSC from samobile will actually change my phone's CSC or will it still detect it's a ee device and still say EVR/EVR/EVR under service provider information. thanks

If you use the multi-csc OXM it will change as per below.

S20+ AT&T unable to update software

Hi All,
I'm new in this firmware things. I'm from Singapore and has been using S20 Exynos, but due to the extreme heat, bad battery life,etc. I've decided to import S20+ Snapdragon from AT&T, according to the Service provider SW ver information, it's showing as SAOMC_SM-G986U-OYN_ATT_QQ_0023 (I believe this means the set are unlocked).
With that said, I noticed that the software is outdated and the security patch level is on February 1,2020. when I referring to the AT&T website, It's showing as the latest software is QP1A.190711.020.G986USQU1ATE6 (June update) and mine still on QP1A.190711.020..G986USQU1ATAW (February). My CSC is G986UOYN1ATAW.
My question now is, whenever I tried to hit the software update, it's keep telling me that my software is up to date. Is there's a reason why it's wont detect the update? If it's because I'm in Singapore not US, then there's no choice that I need to flash using the firmware from Sammobile. The problem is which one that I need to download as AT&T carrier is not listed there. There's only T-mobile, Sprint, Unknown, USA. Please help.

All of them for that model S20, you just need to match the model, any region will work fine
Hi,
Are you sure I can flash Verizon firmware into AT&T device? CSC may to match?
