[Q] Will the same GSM version varies among conuntries?

noob questions sorry in advance!
I would like to know if the baseband version, kernel and build number of the NG sold by different countries varies
If it does so will the difference affect the OTA update process?
Also, can anyone bought from the uk confirm that the warranty by samsung is 2 years and the international warranty is for UK only or EU region or anywhere?
THanks

anyone

All the current ones have been sold in the UK. There might be different regional firmwares bu we don't know for sure until they start showing up.

Does everyone get the same regional market place on this phone or is it different regions different market place ?
I was wondering because someone over at galaxy note said his phone came from another country and he could do a firmware update, I now firmware and apps are different but for any chance anything like this happening with a google device ! just curious

thanks for the information
if anyone got the other version other than the UK can anyone confirm?
tks!

I know that the nexus went on sale in Korea on the 28th. I have not bought it but i do know that the model number is SHW 420S/K, which is different from the GT I9250 sold in the UK. I am also wondering the same thing. Will the hardware be the same? Will you be able to run I9250 roms on this?

32GB + LTE USA version

I'd like to buy this tablet in 32GB + LTE version but I saw that in Europe (and so in my country - Italy) this version will not be sold so I'm thinking to buy it via eBay in USA.
My friend bought the same version from the same seller and he told me that the tablet is perfect but has not italian language inside. But I don't understand how an official android stock rom has not a particular language. Do you know if it's true? And in that case, since I saw italian version and USA version have the same hw (snapdragon 800), is it possibile to flash the italian stock rom from sammobile? Could I have some problem in future with LTE? And is it region locked?
Sorry for too many questions but I'll spend about $600 so I want to be sure

There isn't and never will be "U.S. versions" of the P601/5. Eventually there will be carrier versions but they'll have MMS and the dialer disabled which is the way the U.S. carriers sell them. If you're considering a P601/5 from a U.S. seller on eBay it's been imported from another country. A lot of them are from Latin America. Any EU version of the P605 should have LTE bands that support Italy. You should make sure what LTE bands any P605 you're considering supports to ensure they are compatible with your specific carrier.

I asked the seller which product code has the tablet and I'm waiting for his answer. Meanwhile I saw sammobile firmware list and it seems there is another variant of this tablet SM-P605M that includes latin america countries. So it could be that model number. But if it's true, is it possible to flash a SM-P605 stock rom on a SM-P605M? Both should have the same hardware specs.

Unfortunately not, I think I heard that Digitec sends in other countries.
But you can have a look here toppreise.ch and check some companies.
But keep in mind, Switzerland is in Europe but not in the EU.
That means you need to pay tax and VAT. So it will be very expensive in the end.
If you live near the border it might be better to do a day trip or holiday weekend.
But then there is the problem with customs when you bring it back....

[Q] Dual Sim Variant

Hi All,
I was just looking for some assistance as I am interested in the dual sim variant of the HTC one M8.
I have been searching the web and can see that it is stated to have been launched. I have also noticed there are 2 threads here relating to rooting it.
The 2 questions I have are:
1 - Where can I buy one from?
2 - Would it be better to get the Chinese or European version to works properly in Australia.
I have also seen that there is another Dual Sim variant to be released next month that is marked as LTE-A. Is there any reason to wait for this variant or with mobile services in Australia I will not see any benefit.
Thank you all for your assistance and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi! I bought it from microspot.ch
I don't know which frequencies you are using in Australia but the advantage of the European version is the non-existing Chinese apps

Compare the stated frequency support to what your carrier uses in the lists linked below.

Thanks all.
Have you been able to root the Chinese one and remove the non existent apps?
So... It seems no real advantage between the Chinese and European version.
Does anyone know any details about the LTE-A Dual Sim coming soon?

I got in contact with microspot.ch and they will not deliver outside of Switzerland. Also, I do not think they have any stock.
Are there any tricks to get deliveries outside of the EU or does anyone know of any other places to try?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

SM-G960F/FD Stock Firmware that works with Samsung Pay in the US

Basically what title says
Got one off eBay, works great with US carriers, but the rom included is from Saudi Arabia, so whenever I try to use Samsung Pay it tells me my cards are not supported.
Anyone know what stock ROM I can flash to it so i can use Samsung pay normally?
Theoretically i could just flash every one until i find which one works but if someone has already done this it would be quite a time saver and im guessing i might not be the only one with this issue.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-G960F/
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G960F/
I've checked both these sites but none have any Americas or US Roms, Ive used the Mexico/Claro one on my old S8 with good success so that one should work, but i don't see it for this version (SM-G960F, S9)
Any help would be apreciated

XSG works but you will get ads and promotions for United Arab Emirates. But it let me use my US cards with no problem.

SM-G960F/FD is not intended for use in the US so none of the firmware's will enable Samsung pay as they do not have the correct CSC for the US. Obviously you wont be able to flash the rom for the US S9 (SM-G960U) on your SM-G960F as the US version has the snapdragon 845 and the rest of the word (except Canada and China) gets the Exynos 9810.
What you are hoping for is for someone to find a way to replace a CSC from an Exynos s9, with the CSC from the Snapdragon s9. Sorry to destroy your hopes but dont think that this will ever happen.
Your best bet is to use Google Pay (Or just put your card inside your case and act like you've got samsung pay).

Like I said. With XSG it WILL work in the US but with Ads from UAE. I use it that way in the US with no issues.

Yeah I've used other country roms in the us no problem but this one is not working, I am using XSG atm, it may be possibly because UAE doesnt support American Express? I would possibly need to find a rom from another country that does, usually the Mexico one works but it's currently not available and there's no Canada or Panama either,

Is there a reason why I can't buy this phone anywhere in the UK?

This phone interests me, Its on the Samsung UK site at £329 but thats all I can find in the UK. Its a UK model so obviously released in the UK yet no one is selling it anywhere, Its actually £100 cheaper than the A71. Even Sammobile has no firmare for it M515F which is the European version shows no firmware. Kinda weird, its like it exists yes but no one knows it exists apart from Samsung and its actually a bargain compared to A51 and A71

Let me know of you find it! I am also looking at this phone as an option but seems to be only available in Germany and in India. I am Colombia so not sure if it will ever go on sale here
