Check the installed firmware version under "Settings --> About phone", post the version here and I can get you the link for the latest available firmware.

Thats not specific enough as too many regions with the same firmware version are available. You can use Phone INFO - Samsung to read out
region code / country
Latest official Android is 4.4.2
firmware I9195XXUCNK1 can be flashed (instaled) using ODIN.

I can't find any valuable informations about your device. SCH-I435 is Verizon's S4 mini. Which carrier is the I435L?

1. In ONE ROM you have MORE THAN ONE COUNTRY
2. By flashing rom, recovery, rooting the phone it is possible to loose warranty or bricking the phone.
3. You can follow these steps:
- Download the rom (firmware) acording to your country from samfirmware or sam-updates websiet.
example 1: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9195/SWC/
example 2: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9195/AUT/
In that Rom there will also be country like HU, DE, IT, FR and so on.
The software/rom will "take" the CSC for choosing if is a O2 or an ITM or Vodaphone or Verizon etc. after flashing it.
So, you need to change CSC, if you wish to swich from IT to DE for example, and that CSC to be contained into the ROM.
But to change CSC you need root, as far as I can see.
Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751192
section " - How to change CSC? "
I hope it helps.
You will not have any problem flashing different region.
Mine was panama Latin America, but I've flashed Russia, India, Germany, different carrier for my country and all worked fine.

It appeared in samsung's official website and seems to be sold without contract.
It has almost the same hardware to I435.

The phone is not listed as SCH-I435L. The firmware version on Samsung's website is SCH-I435ZKAXAR, search engine shows I435"L"... in title but its not listed anywhere on the Samsung website. If you click on "retailer" online or locally you won't get listed any shops selling this model. The common sources for Samsung firmware don't provide any downloads. Its as the phone doesn't exist. Only option left is to contact Samsung's customer care.
It doesn't matter which region you choose.

Maybe contacting samsung's customer care is ultimate way. The i435L does exist cuz I abtained the firmware version from an ebay's seller.
i found a correct rom but...
The rom has same version i got now (4.2.2)... will something happen if I flash a rom that has same version?
Hi everyone,
I just recently got a SM-R805N (Korea LTE ver) and want to change its region.
However the CSC variants in the stock only contains Korea telecom (as mentioned in the CSC thread by ecoco1)
I am trying to use the old fashion way: flash in the combination firmware, switch the CSC and then flash back to stock, in which, the CSC I am looking for is in SM-R805F version
However, I cannot find any free source for SM-R805F firmware online... all those available , also in this XDA forum, is only for bluetooth version.
Would anyone in XDA able to source the R805F firmware? (best to have both combination & stock?)
Thanks a million

Caution.
Since Gear S3 it is NO good idea to flash wrong Firmware nor wrong parts... to LTE variants...

Example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78545468&postcount=74
Only as info.
Additional info...
Not tested what happens with CSC only... BUT be sure it is not less dangerous... because partition PIT is inside CSC and netOdin AUTOMATIC write this file to device...
Suggestion...
Study offline...
You can extract files with 7zip and compare...
rootfs.img needs some other Tools or Linux... or...

Thanks adfree, but its too late... I have already bricked my brand new galaxy watch...
Now the watch wont go into any mode below. All it does is have a flash of horizontally line screen, consistently.
continue
factory command
recovery
download (wireless)
Tried the method "press 2 seconds, release 1 second" does not work, think it corrupted the partition.
Only mode still work is "download" which shows the screen correctly. What make it worse is I reset the watch before doing this and forget to turn off activation lock (but I have my own user name and password, think that does not make it worse then?)
Appreciate if any idea on how to tackle this... am already thinking about buying the usb connector for odin flash...(hopefully something will make it work again...)
Suggestion, if you want try it self at home....
Look into this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78545468&postcount=74
Look into Video...
You can also click around this Thread... to see diffferent "solutions"...
Security prevent netOdin use... IMHO no way without USB to flash again.
If you have POGO Connector... Odin...
Then try FIRST to flash SM-R805N...
I see at this time it is not leaked...
So you need luck to flash SM-R805N Firmware...
Hopefully Warranty Void will still:
0 0x0000
Seems 3 SM-R805N Stock Firmware leaked:
Code:
R805NKOU1ARK8
R805NKOU1ARJ6
R805NKOU1ARHJ
You can PM me... if you need Help with POGO...
Best Regards
Sent you a pm thanks very much, i have not yet able to watch the video as im at work, but i think i need the items below:
R805N stock firmware
POGO Cable for usb connection
anything else would i need?

Thank you @deadman96385 for the firmware
Hi adfree, here is the photo of the "Download" screen
Now i need to get my hand on the cable to try it out...
Thanx for Photo. :good:
Good:
A
SM-R805N to see...
So sboot.bin is not overwritten...
B
Warranty void still 0 0x0000
So Knox not dripped... BUT you have to wait for final result after Repair Flash...
Not so good = IMHO bad...
Reactivation Lock is ON...
This means MORE f&%ing Security...
As "we" have only Stock Firmware...
If no luck then also Warranty Void Value will change... maybe.
P.S...
partition.pit aka PIT is 1:1 same between SM-R805F and SM-R805N... except the RSA 2048 Signature crap at the end of file.

thanks... I should be able to get the POGO wire mid next week, will update you the result....!
My Galaxy is back alive! Thanks everyone in this thread. Tested the following:
Install R805N firmware: Download mode: Works
Install R805F firmware:
Download mode: PIT fail instantly, without install
Download (Wireless): Able to complete the install -> Fail warning in red -> Bricked
Tried for combination firmware, or CSC only, same result
Guess I will never have chance to change my CSC then...? (Unless there is a combination R805N available which has all CSC countries inside?)

How do you plan to change it to Australia without changing the csc of watch via combination firmware which, apparently is not available as of now for the 825F model.

Man I know the paid site all have the wrong combination files. They are cheating and misleading the people that too after taking money. I know what must have happened you flashed a 825U firmware which was listed under 825F section in that website.
Good for you were in warranty. Rest the firmware i had was the same OLB available on that website. So no use.

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

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.
One of our Chineese suppliers has gifted me a New Fold 3. The issue is the stock Chinese Rom, or rather the restrictions that come with it (nerfing most google based services, and apps i use all the time.). The device is great but restrictions applied give you a feeling of a second class android user, with core sevices absent: Play store, youtube, gmail, maps, chrome, android auto., can't even apporve family link download requests from kids. etc. etc.
I have made the choice i would rather go back to my S21 if i can't resovle this issue, as phone is useless like this.
Advice required on Loading Australian Rom via odin.
The phone model is: SM-F9260 which only seems to have overseas Rom available for download. Can i successfully load a ROM made for model SM-F926B (Australian) on a SM-F9260?
All the how to guides specifically say jou must select the same model number, and i don't want a brick it. Will have mud on my face next time i see the supplier if i have bricked their gift to me.
Any feedback/advice from users with more experience with odin and flashing would be appreciated.
Both are on Snapdragon CPU so shouldn't be any problem to flash it with PIT over the Odin.
But I never done it so I can't give you 100% answer.

Update: The AU version gave me an Auth Failed in Odin. Chances i could have resovled by unlocking the Bootloader which i didn't want to risk tripping the e-fuse. I ended up just using the Taiwan version which had the identical model number, and falls in the same region as China. Odin flashed without complaint. The taiwan version has no restrictions on google services, and once you set the language its hard to tell it from a regular AU one; unless you know what you are looking for that is.

Technically there are ways, just it is very grey as to when/how you trip the e-fuse. Some say if you simply unlock the bootloader and restart, others say when you load a bootloader that doesn't match model numbers, or is older than your current, or isn't offical samsung one. I personally don't know exactly. I do however know that i didn't trip the e-fuse when i loaded the taiwan version, and i didn't have to unlock the bootloader in developer options to achevie this.

you won't have the chance to trip. there is some check before the boot image is integrated. so it failed showing some error, auth or secure check failed etc etc.
if you flash variant home csc you will trip
TBH, I consider the Chinese version is the best version above all other region. The dual sim is enable on Chinese version, 512GB is the only available option.
As for google service. You don't need to change the Chinese firmware to Australian to enable it, the GMS is pre-installed. All you need to do is to find a way to install the google series apps as apk by yourself, it would work just fine.

BTW, the only version that Chinese region Fold 3 can change is the HongKong firmware, all other regions are not available. If you use Chinese region Fold 3 in Australia, the only thing you need to concern is the Samsung Pay, but Samsung Pay is fixed by the region and cannot be changed by switching the regional firmware.

Each to their own, if you like the chinese version great. I hated it, restrictions in every aspect of the firmware. I personally am unsure how you rate the chinese version better, when it is loaded with restrictions and hard coded settings that can't be changed, or if they can it is really a sub par workaround. Settings that are not present in standard android builds. What exactly does it have extra that makes it better? If you like it thou that is all that matters.
I loaded the taiwan version which yes is really just the hong kong version. No restrictions, no issues. Now it works just like any other standard samsung android build, you get in AU. Yes samsung pay that use the firmware version doesn't work great, but i prefer google pay anyway. No need to stuff around with downloading apk files from third party sites, for core functions. No need to even enable developer tools.
The chinese version sounds like driving a ferrari on a go karting track.....
Can you flash the Chinese or any international dual sim version to work in the US ?
