Hi and seriously why L models are weakly supported? beside the modem files isn't it the same hardware? if yes can I extract and flash my modem file to a ROM that is compatible with i9082? (my phone is rooted no other modification) if not what are these differences? and what can I and?or anyone else with "L" model do to help developers?

My guess is that they treat the different versions apart because the support itself is separated. The Latin support is worse than the support for other regions... so is better to have two different supports than harm the support that is not so bad...
That's my opinion... and I have a L variant to... pisses me off not to have the same upgrades...

Hi,
I am looking for a stock ROM for Galaxy W, stock ROM I8150B. I bought my phone in Europe but I cannot get it to work in Latin America. Stock ROM I8150B is the one approved to work in my country. Does anyone have the I8150B? I think it was first released in Brazil.
Hi freditoc......
In the other thread
you see this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22213775&postcount=10
So, you can see, despite what I did believe, there may be a difference in the HW supplied with the Brazil/S America/Central America/US versions of our phone as opposed to Euro/Asia
The actual Radio Module to enable 3G/UMTS/CDMA on Bands 850/1900 may not be there, so S/W will not solve this.
As requested by friend arth_ur, in that thread, I have uploaded the back-up of radio/modem.bin from my Euro phone, and perhaps there will be a solution.
See below:

Hello friend arth_ur.....(Guinness??)
Please find modem.bin file from my Euro GT-I8150......dropbox link:

Phone/Baseband: I8150OXXKK1
Like you, but in reverse I can only
[*] the 900/2100 CDMA 3G Bands in Service Menu Band Selection...
Hope the file helps!!!!

Try http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I8150&r=2#regiona
these appear to be LB's but do mention Asia in their description
So there's a significant difference between I8150 and I8150B? I bought mine on Brazil and couldn't update it to 2.3.6 version via Kies Air (it doesn't show any option that might be it).
That's my first android phone and like the presentation video said, i'm a freaking noob (but very interested in learn). In the settings i couldn't find any information about the firmware. I found the Android Version (2.3.5), Baseband Version (I850BVJKJ5) and the Kernel Version ([email protected] #3(i believe this is about the linux kernel or something).

some people said the surplus is in battery, its not drain faster like the others rom
I noticed that ROMs on the developer's forum are labelled by their model (i.e. T210, T110).
So my question is, is it possible to use ROMs on different models?
Thank you.

No, it is not possible to use the 210 Rom on The Tab lite 110.
Different Hard / Software.
I've searched and can't find a specific answer on compatibility on ROMs and the different carrier versions of the Fire Phone. It's late so maybe I just picked bad combos in my searches.
1. a. Will it brick an AT&T phone if you install the international ROM (or vice versa)?
b. If it doesn't brick is it effectively turn into an international variant (or vice versa)?
2. Are the CM11/SlimKat ROMs ok to install on any variant (AT&T and/or International)?
3. Are the CM11/SlimKat ROMs ok to install on any size variant (32GB or 64GB)?
I know some phones it's OK and some phones brick when you install other variant ROMs so I just want to confirm before I buy an AT&T version. I also know some ROM's have to re partition the device and I wouldn't want to lose 32GB. I apologize if these have been answered but I can't find them tonight.

I have the exact same question 1, I wouldn't call it "international", just unlocked version I guess
Bump, such easy question should be easy to answer and kind of important

1.a. No.
Source: I installed the UK, US AT&T and US GSM unlocked firmware on my device (T-Mobile netlocked, Germany).
Every Fire Phone works with all variants in general (there are ofc. different pre-installed TTS languages, WiFi channel support differs, etc.)
1.b. As Jose-MXL mentioned, unlocked (as in neutral) describes it a bit better.
The US ''GSM unlocked'' firmware has multi language support, just like the other versions, so you're not stuck with English language.
Again, some WiFi channels won't work, e.g. channel 13 in Germany, because it's based on US standards.
The fimware doesn't affect netlock, ofc. If your device was netlocked before, it will stay locked. If it was unlocked with a code before, it will stay unlocked.
2. Yes, as far as we know.
ggow only mentioned v. 4.6.1 because this was the (latest) tested version at the time. People reported successful installation on 4.6.1, 4.6.3 and 4.6.4 variants.
3. Yes.
Only the system partition is affected when installing SlimKat / CM11 (sorry, just describing it very briefly ^^).
As you know from stock Fire OS, the internal storage and media storage share the remaining storage space, so nothing will change on that partition.
my tab s 10" t805w is from Canada,
but i'm in Egypt now, can i install another rom other than the canadian ?
i mean can i flash a stock lolipop rom for t805w middle east for example ? or would that wreck my device ?
Any help !!!
I know you can for the WiFi versions of the tablets but I'm not so sure about the LTE versions. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will see your post.
Hi all,
1- I have S20 ultra G9880 model. But I'm using it in Egypt so my provider csc is different than the firmware's csc. Since then, I never recieved OTA updates although there were multiple updates and I had to download the whole firmware and install it with odin. So is there a way to get OTA updates back to work?
2- I read on some other websites that there is a way to flash firmware from different model (for example G988U) on any snapdragon based model (like the one I had) but this has to be done with a patched Odin so it will ignore the model differences. My question is, is this correct? if so can some one post the link to this patched odin ? or is there another way to flash a firmware of different model but with snapdragon processor in it?
Thanks in advance
I've not heard of this being possible before. But even if it were possible, flashing the firmware for the US model, wouldn't do you any good either, since that firmware doesn't have support for Egypt either. On top of that, the US model supports different bands that your phone doesn't, hence the difference in the modem.

Well, I wanted to install the US firmware mainly to be able to use the One UI 3.0 beta.
If there is another way to install it on my phone without flashing the US firmware then I'd be grateful to know
Sounds like a recipe for a disaster...

Did you flash the same Firmware (CSC) to get OTA's? Samsung sends updates, not your service provider regardless of your location so it's odd you're not receiving them.
On the SM-G9880 there are only 3 FW's compatible for flashing, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. Android 11, One Ul 3.0 isn't yet available for your device however the Source Code is online. Likely you're better off waiting a bit longer, it should be available for your device by the end of the year.

With respect to updates if you own a PC often times Samsung's Smart Switch platform will distribute these before OTA's become avaliable which eliminates the need to flash your device.
