Austrailian Lollipop on US M919? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I don't have my phone rooted and I'd like to upgrade it to 5.0.0 lollipop. I see Samsung only put out the update to other countries and not the US, how nice of them.
Would I even notice a difference using it or would putting the Aussie version of lollipop on my US t-mobile phone be a no no?
Thank you

You cannot flash an Australian stock LP ROM to the USA T-Mobile phone via Odin.

There is a T-MOBILE Australian lollipop upgrade on Samsungs website for the m919. For verification, It won't work on my m919? Would u mind to help me understand why?
Thank you

The bootloader in the rom will be compared to the hardware being flashed. If it's a match, it will flash but not necessarily function properly.
If the Australian m919 is the same as the hardware as the USA variant, it will probably flash but I don't know if it will work n properly.

Ok thank you for the explanation

Why don't you install Lineage which will put you into >7.0

[Q] SM-T807 Custom lollipop rom

Hi guys, i just switched my note 10.1 2014 edition with tab s t807
As usual immediately rooted my tab and try to flash a custom rom.
But now i have a problem,
samsung sends 3g tablets with a different serial number to turkey (where i live) than other countries, like my note tab was P602 when the other 3g notes was P605. But i was able to flash P605 custom roms to my tab.
Now i flashed a kitkat based t805 custom rom to my t807 but when i try to upgrade to lollipop i cannot flash T805 roms, altough t805 lollipop bootlader does not work too.
Now the question is do i have to wait to get a lollipop update to my t807 (which can take real long time) or is there a way to flash t805 lollipop rom.
Thanks for the answers...
You need the lollipop bootloader. Without it it's pointless to flash Any lollipop roms.
Ok i know i need lollipop bootloader but there is a question, international 3g version is called t805 but mine in Turkey is called T807, every spec is same but t805 bootloader does not work both on odin and twrp,
Should i wait for t807 bootloader or am i missing something

Unfortunately some of the carrier versions need a specific boot loader. So unless you try all the different t807 lollipop builds, you might get lucky, if not you may just have to wait.
Is your device rootable?

Hi,
SM-T807 is the 3G version while SM-T805 is the LTE version (or so called 4G. It is simply not an international 3G as you've mentioned). So their hardware is different. Both CPU / GPU and WAN modules are different and firmware is not interchangeable. As far as I know Samsung did not release Lollipop for T807 (3G). I doubt that the'll be releasing a Lollipop version anytime soon.
Cheers,
K.

Not sure where you are getting your information, but the hardware specs of the Exynos t807 are the same as the t805. The t807 is the carrier or region locked version. There are stock lollipop roms available for the t807. There may be slight differences in the modem hardware depending on region, but both can support LTE .
There is a snapdragon version which is what I think you are referring to, but again this can also support LTE and Lollipop is also available.

Hi, You're mostly right. They are both capable of using LTE DATA. This week I laid my hands over a T807 and unlike most marketing sites quote it has LTE functionality just as T805. But it seems that T805 also works as a GSM phone. T807 allows data only GSM access. So the difference is not about carrier locking. I am not sure if there's a hardware difference between the two at this point. But other treads on this site say T805 boot partion won't work for T807. So there should be some difference. Earlier Samsung tablets with GSM data only configurations could be upgraded to the GSM phone functionality. I've also come across with some news sites reporting that some carrier locked versions of T807 started to get the Lollipop update. I hope the regional ones would get this update soon.

I'd be willing to bet one of the recent custom roms will flash and work on your device as long as you flash the correct bootloader.

Of course it will work but the thing is i cannot find the RIGHT bootloader for my t807.
On kitkat i use t805 iron rom but i need exact bootloader to upgrade any custom lollipop rom.
I will be more than glad to anyone who can find the right bootloader.
What do you mean the bootloader doesn't work, does it even install?

Flashing with different region firmware.

Hi guys, I have Galaxy Note 10.1 SM-P605. My one is most likely a Malaysian variant. Baseband version: P605XXUCOE1. I still haven't got the lollipop update on this variant. Now kinda planning to flash it with the Finland version. So I have some questions here before I do...
1. Will there be any sort of problem because of different baseband/ region?
2. Will I have to face any issue with knox or official OTA updates in future?
Thanks in advance.= :fingers-crossed:
I can only answer half of your questions, as my device is rooted, so i don't get official updates anyway. Flashing a different region firmware never caused me any troubles, not on my 10.1, or my Galaxy Note4, so it won't affect the functionality of your device.
As for Knox, it will trip Knox as you are flashing a kernel not for the same region...
It may just bootloop. Make sure you have a stock rom to go back to, mind you this may not work if the bootloader is upgraded to a newer version, say KK to L or L to MM....

Glad to know man, btw I am having only 1 problem that is it's not showing my operator's name on lock screen or in connection settings, instead it's showing the 5 digit number code of my operator. Thats not a major issue I guess, must be some conflict with regions.

Unroot/Relock bootloader

I know Knox will stay tripped, but how do I unroot/flash stock? Using netflix was 50% of what I used this tablet for and now that they blocked root, I can't watch it anymore. I tried to use magisk, but it doesn't work at all for me on cyanogenmod. If anyone can recommend a rom that magisk 100% works on, without laggy videos in youtube/twitch/netflix, that would be awesome! If not, can someone link me a way to unroot/relock the bootloader so that I am able to use netflix again. I'm currently running cyanogenmod 12.1. Thanks!!
Just flash back the official ROM, your tablet status will be official but the Knox count won't change. Search sammobile for your model, if you can root then flash back official firmware is not a problem.

Region doesn't matter, I have SM-T580 runs Germany firmware, SM-P580 runs Korean firmware because both are Android 7.
You can take the Australia firmware. Fact you should know: all Samsung tablets sold around the world are the same tablets, the difference is software customized to certain region.
Open a tablet sold in Asia, it's the same as the one sold in US, if loaded with US firmware, it becomes an US tablet.
I have one US tablet with Google Locked, downgraded it to Hong Kong firmware to bypass Google Lock, then upgraded it Nougat with Germany or Korean firmware.
I doesn't matter which firmware I loaded as long as English is my language of choice. Every region, you see the CSC ( Customer Software Customization ) file along with the AP file, that's the difference.

I have an AT&T nash and I was wondering if it is possible for me to flash stock pie

I have an AT&T nash and I was wondering if it is possible for me to flash stock pie
There is no pie for nash xt1789-04 (att) but there is pie released for other z2 force. Will it break my phone if I flash pie stock over ATT stock rom? If so, can I have a link to the pie rom?
There's no stock 9.0 for any model. GSIs and custom ROMs are available, but an unlocked bootloader is required for either route. Users of the ATT & VZ models must wait for Moto to rollout Pie officially.
If you're interested in those things I'd strongly recommend selling your ATT Z2.

Oh, I thought pie was out because on gsmarena it says it's upgradeable. I guess it's wrong.
But when this does come out, for let's say, Sprint, is it possible for me to flash a sprint rom to my ATT MZ2F?

Moto released their update rollout. Among the phones slated to receive Pie you'll find the Z2 and Z2 Play.
Sure, you can try to flash the official build on your Z when it's out. Just keep in mind that the phone will probably lose LTE, and possibly other functions.
Ok thank you for answering

Normally, yes you can flash from a different model (i.e. Sprint FW on TMO model), with the exception of the AT&T/Verizon variants, which are bootloader locked, and you cannot flash anything (not even official firmware) on them.

That's wrong because I was able to flash android 8.0 att over 7.1.1 because it wouldn't let me update normally. I'm pretty sure you can flash images with the same stock signature, but I'm asking if it's possible to flash stock firmware from another model on to att phone with bootloader locked

Question [S901U] Remove Carrier Bloat

Hey,
I've got an att locked S22, and att have gone and done a bunch of dumb stuff like locking rcs to their implementation and installing a bunch of stuff as system that I don't want etc. I'm wondering if it's possible to flash a non carrier-specific firmware to the NA S22?
Thanks
Yes, you can flash the unlocked software to the phone and it will convert it into a U1 model, with OTA updates and everything. Every S or Note series subforum has the instructions listed, except for this one for some reason.
You can follow the instructions here, just substitute the S901 for the S908 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s908u1-versions.4400511/page-56#post-86785943

I believe it will be a full wipe. Just back everything up to Samsung or Google.
@truemetro , were u able to successfully flash the global / non-carrier ROM to your phone?
I own att mobile s901u. Couldn't flash s901u1 xaa firmware.
