Can anyone tell me will it be a problem to use Z1c from another region.
I'm from Serbia (south-east Europe) and want to buy second-hand phone originally made for Sweden.
Will it work everywhere in Europe?
If i face with bad signal problems, will it be possible to fix it by flashing my region firmware, or this is hardware problem?
Sorry for silly questions, but I'm not sure if I'm going to waste my money...
It will probably be totally safe without the need to flash any region firmware. If by any chance there are issues you can always use your region firmware.

Thanks. I just wasn't sure if it's 100% firmware related, and not hardware issue.
But few minutes ago I found in gsmarena that network bands are compatible in whole Europe.
If someone needs info about their device, it can be checked here...

Can I flash stock firmware via odin form diffrent country?
I have bought tablet in US. Now i want to gift this tablet to my brother, but he only speak in polish language
So I have SM-T800 with T800XXU1BOE2 firmware. XAR region.
I want to flash T800XXU1ANEB_T800XEO1ANE2_XEO via odin.
The reason for this change is lack of polish language in my current firmware.
Thanks in advance
Yes as long as the bootloader isn't locked and the roms use the same platform, ie exynos or Qualcomm.
However there may be issues with mobile data.
This is Wi-FI version, so this problem doesnt concern me. i think bootloader will not be a problem to unlock.
How can i check platform in firmware i have downloaded? (from sammobile.com for sm-t800 model, there was 3 diffrent i have picked the one with kies icon enabled).

You wont be able to unlock the bootloader, but no worries you have the exynos wifi version so you dont have a locked bootloader anyway.
No Point
Just flash the U.S. one and change the language to Polish
Hi first post, please be gentle
I've got an s9 which is on EE UK, I flashed the phone with stock firmware, I did run into a couple of issues where when flashing the phone it got stuck on odm.img so I had to start again but using CSC and not home CSC so I lost everything
When the phone rebooted, it started up in German, so as I had my sim card in, it restarted in English
I'm using the following
G960FXXU2CSA2/G960FOXM2CSA2/G960FXXS2BRK3
Service provider SW SAOMC_SM-G960F_OXM_DBT_PP_0009
DBT/XEU/EVR
When I check for updates I get the following
Your current software version isn't supported. Visit a service centre
Can anyone help on how to put this right, I want to stay on stock firmware, not EE firmware
Thanks in advance
Good morning, I have a problem with my S9 model G9600 which came from the factory with the firmware of Hong Kong, however I tried to change the firmware for the one in Colombia because some voice services of the operators only work with the software of the country. But when trying to flash the part of CSC I mark the error and obviously the installation fails as in a kind of A brick because the logo of Galaxy S9 does not pass and is only solved by reinstalling the firmware with which it came from the factory; I have already made sure that the binary is the same, however I can not find a solution. I attach photos of the error.

are you having an identical issue? i ask that because resolutions are very specific. Flashing firmware from www.sammobile.com/firmwares is very commonly the fix for a great many issues, but id hate to have you go thru the trouble of doing so if its not necessary
I tried flashing using odin but didnt work. btw, im using SM-965U and currently residing in Thailand. I dont know if this is the reason why I cant update at all.
S9 message
I am in the U.S. and am getting the message that software isn't supported also. Is there any resolution to this problem?
In case it helps, I was having this same issue with my unlocked Galaxy Note 10+. I found this thread after searching. I had gotten into this situation by flashing CP/AP/BL from TMO firmware without also flashing TMO's CSC or USERDATA. I avoided CSC/USERDATA (I was using the home CSC) because I wanted to avoid wiping the phone.
When I finally gave up and flashed CSC and USERDATA, everything was back to normal.

what is the issue after you flash in Odin?
I've got an O2 Galaxy S9 and I'd like to use it with a Vodafone SIM in UK.
Is it just the firmware that would need changing or would the ROM need to be changed too?

the firmware contains the ROM, but the ROM wouldnt have been what prevented you from using this to its full potential. Technically, all youd really need to do is flash your carriers CSC and even maybe the HOME_CSC. If youre unfamiliar with those terms and/or processes, just flash the Vodafone firmware with the CSC (which will factory reset it) and call it a day

Hi Youdoofus,
Thanks for your help.
Can I just run this past you then.
The phone came brand new from O2 and is not locked to the network.
I'm using a Vodafone SIM in the phone and I have trouble receiving SMS, making 4G calls, etc.
I understand what it is to flash the phone with new firmware although I've never done it before.
If I flash the phone with the latest Vodafone firmware and Vodafone or generic CSC that should be enough to get the phone working ok with the Vodafone SIM?
Sorry if the question seems basic. This is obviously not my area of expertise.

no worries mate. nobody is innately knowledgeable about this stuff, even the seasoned linux vets can stumble about a bit.
but yes, all you really need to do is flash the Vodafone or generic/multi csc and youll probably be good to go. the reason your sms isnt working is likely due to your APN settings and voLTE wont work without your carriers own CSC installed tho. That being said, many of the multi CSC firmware packs will do the job quite nicely as they will likely have Vodafones CSC in their list of available CSCs. It would be different if you used a fly by night carrier
I flashed mine with unbranded generic UK firmware BTU-G960FXXU7CSK1-20191121174240.zip.
Got it here, took forever: https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__S9__/5vgs/BTU/G960FXXU7CSK1/G960FOXM7CSJ5/
Probably better using Frija to download it quick but I couldn't get it working:

Final Samsung Android 10 should be out any day now (if you can wait).
Big fan of this Lineage 17 10 rom by Abtekk if you fancy something custom:

Currently running that with White Wolf kernel & Zoran's GCam, good luck!
...because I use the phone in Europe. Given the firmware is North America I was wondering whether I need to change the modem in ODIN to get better reception/ 5g in Europe. The last Samsung I owned was the S4 where updating the modem to your region was ubiquitary. Not sure if this is still necessary and doable., so hoping for some advice.
Second question: I have a US S20 locked to AT&T. Will flashing the U1 firmware (incl. factory reset) also unlock the phone?
Cheers!

You can't mix exynos firmware and Snapdragon. I doubt you can use just the modem portion of a European exynos code. You can flash U1 code freely, but that does not unlock the bootloader. Do you mean you can't put any sim other than AT&T?
I didn't mean to unlock the bootloader (since that's not possible for US phones) but the sim so I can use my German sim card in Europe in this phone.

Do you know if I run the risk to brick my device if I tried to combine the exynos modem with a snapdragon rom? Cause otherwise I might just try it.
Hello, Hope all are well.
My device Note 10+ 5g, Model N976N, (Carrier_ID: KOO)
I cant get Signal from SIM, The device did not recognize the SIM cards.
A technician make software for the device, and, in About phone, I can see the Model number(SM-N975F).. I've make some software chages/flashes and the device was corrupted.
A technician make software and, in About phone, I can see the Model number(SM-N976B/DS).. I got the signal for one time then loose it.
What is ur advice?
Can I flash N976Q with (KSA or XSG - Arabic country code) ? Still have Arabic Language and Signal in 2-SIMs ?
Thanks in advance.
Hello mohgaza,
To me it is a bit hard to understand your problem.
has your sim card ever worked
If so: what happened / what did you do that caused the problem
please try to improve your question.
You also state two different model numbers in your question. Why is that? What technician are you talking about?

This could be a loose contact or some working configuration between a lot of nonworking ones or something completely different. What country do you want to use your phone in? The choice of the modem file should usually depend on that.
Hello, I'll clarify:
SIM cards worked for less than an hour, JUST restarted and lost SIM signals.
Technician was trying to resolve the problem.
Worked well on n975f, BUT I flashed other firmware by mistake,
Then I went back to the technician and he tried n976b.
My carrier is Israel / Palestine, and I want to activate the 2-SIMs
So If the N975F Version works well, why don't you flash it?

It seems because I've flashed the most latest, and cant DOWNGRADE ..
that is becuase the phone has a patched IMEI try searching auto patch roms and install it will help you. or take it a better phone technician who has proper flashing boxes like Chimera it will patch the imei.
