Hey guys,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to get a hold of the Australian firmware and flash the 32GB/3GB AU Firmware onto my phone? I imported one from Taiwan but it's currently running the Taiwan firmware. Not sure if there's any difference between the two but I'd feel better if my phone was running an actual Australian firmware that I can update properly, rather than an international firmware that I've had to make look like it's Australian, I'm even a few versions behind for some reason, and sometimes when I reboot it's back to Taiwanese...
My carrier is Telstra AU, I've got the 32GB/3GB Gold version. Not looking to root, running everything stock except the launcher (Using Nova Launcher) and all seems fine. I've installed LG PC Suite, I'm really just looking to backup my current firmware/kdz and flash a new Australian one.
Thanks in advance guys, looking forward to being a part of this epic community!
Hey mate! What's your model number? Is it the D855? It's funny, I imported mine simply because I didn't want the Ausy version of the phone. The only changes from the D855 and the Ausy version (model number which is D855K) is a few reception changes, and I'm not sure if they are hardware or software. I did a quick google, and I found this link, but I'm not sure how trustworthy it is, I'd be wary and scan anything with virus protection before. But here ya go. http://poweredw.gaodi.net/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=667560
There isn't much for us Ausys out there, which is why if you want to have a bit of support from XDA and other places, best stick with the inernational version.
Have a good one mate.

Hey mate,
Yeah, it's the D855, imported from Taiwan. The link you sent me to is a 16GB/2GB ROM, those of which are apparently everywhere, but I can't for the life of me find a 32GB/3GB ROM for us Aussies. I did import the D855 because it's the international one, which should be modded and tinkered with by more people because it's international, rather than just the D855k which only works for us Aussies.
But yeah, if you find a 32GB/3GB ROM for Telstra somewhere, would be MUCH appreciated, sick of my phone going back to Taiwanese every reboot
Thanks man!

LG didnt release the 32GB version in Australia, so you will never find a Telstra firmware for it... or Optus or Voda for that matter.
It shouldnt make any difference anyway as long as it has the same LTE bands, which I think it does.
Try an EU firmware that defaults to English maybe?

Ah okay, cheers man. Know of the latest EU/International firmware that would best suit me, preferably the latest version?

have a look here:-

i cant honestly tell whether they are 16GB or 32GB, since some of them dont specify. As far as I am aware, if you update to an old UK or EU version (like 10A) you will get an OTA update to 10E pretty soon afterwards.
if you arent sure which one to flash, theres probably someone that is worried about the same thing in the comments of the thread somewhere that had their question answered. i havent read through the whole thing yet so sorry cant help you there.
good luck!

And would I be right in assuming this would be updated fairly regularly?

well its a personal web hosting... hosting sites always change for whatever reason. i would get it now while its there, cos who knows whether it will be there tomorrow. dont know whether the owner will keep it up to date regularly, but you can always read the forums to see when new updates come out.
the unbranded EU firmware is a popular one and will probably be one of the most frequently updated, so once you are on that you can probably get the OTAs as they come out too.

First of all, 10m is your software version, not model number. The 10m just means you are on firmware version 10m. Seeing as you bought your phone in Taiwan, you most likely have an Asian variant such as the F400 or F400k. You may possibly have an international D855, but it's impossible to tell from your picture. Take your battery cover off and let me know what model number you see on the sticker under the battery. The same model number should be plastered all along the inside edges of the phone once the battery cover is removed as well. Like I said, it should be F400, F400k, D855, or something similar. Please let me know.
Thanks for your help. I looked behind the cover and its a D855. So when i search for compatible roms and stuff i should look for that model numer? Thanks for patience with ny ignorance man lol
Ok so thanks again for ur quick help. Ive done alot more reading now and im ready to root my phone, one thing ive had trouble finding is the stock firmware for my device if anything should go wrong or if i want to dl the OTA lollypop update i just received in the future. My current firmware is v10m-TWN-xx and i havr d855 16gb, i could only find the 32gb version. Would really appreciate it if someone lets me know where i could get the 16gb. Thanks guys!
Hello Everyone,
I am from India and I recently bought a Factory Unlocked AT&T Galaxy Note 4 online (The phone is from US). It has Kitkat on it and I dont think I can get Lollipop over OTA for my phone. I found a link to download N910AUCU1COC4, So my question is can I go ahead and flash my phone with this firmware?
I just want to make sure it will not cause any problem likes phone getting locked again or something? (This would really suck )
I will really appreciate your help guys.
Thanks,
NJ
You can flash it thru Odin... Good luck!

Hi
I bought what I thought was a genuine S9 from someone and it turns out it has a Spanish ROM on it and it has got horrid apps on it. I want a UK version of the latest ROM but can't find it on SAMMOBILE or anything?
Version is: Galaxy S9
SM-G9600
Baseband: G9600ZCU1ARBE
Current Android: 8.0.0
I am wanting to flash it with ODIN which I have done before but just can not find the ROM anywhere. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Samfw only takes about 15min

Cheers thanks. Is this definitely correct even though the model no is different?

Try it and see if works, should do.
Thanks, my model no is SM-G9600 though, as per OP. On Sammobile I can't see a rom for this model no that's why I was trying to understand it further?
Did you get through? The actual number which you should check for is one which you can get if you install "Phone Info" and look under the "CSC CODE" tab. The product code is the exact one for your phone. Look for this one on SamMobile and install using Odin. I'm not an expert here, but this should give you what you're looking for.
Hi. I'm really struggling to be fair. I can't fine anything for UK on this model. I can find the rom from every other country apart from UK. Total brick wall to be honest. The rom that the chap above suggested was for a completely different model so I don't want to risk it. I will try it if I know it won't break it but I'm getting nothing for this.
