Chinese Rom to European

Hi all,
Sorry for obviously being a noob. I am from Western Europe but bought my HTC Desire 816 in China and of course, as expected, there are no Google apps on it and even when I install Google Play store manually it doesn't launch the app.
I am thinking about whether or not I can put a different rom on the phone, a European (Dutch) one, or how does that work ?
Can anyone give me some advise please
Thanks!

Now you have the European version too from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52995489. But this is a single sim version. If you or anyone happen to find the dual sim english version, that would be of very help for me as I have soft bricked it recently and unable to find the RUU for that.

A520F firmware compatibility of Single SIM firmware and Dual SIM firmware

Hi guys
I known that this A5 2017 model have two types.
1) A520F - Single SIM model
2) A520F/DS - Dual SIM model
I have question of Dual SIM model and single sim model firmware compatibility.
Q#1)What if i flashed Single sim firmware (EX)AU-Vodafone, CSC:VAU) on dual sim hardware model (A520F/DS),
Is it working only Single sim mode? or it can working Dual sim mode even Single sim firmware(VAU)?
Q#2) if Q#1 is true and flashed Single sim firmware then restore to Dual sim firmware (like India, Taiwan, UAE regions firmware will support Dual SIM),
Is it restored fully dual sim mode from Single sim firmware ? I am worrying if i flashed Single sim firmware then back to Dual sim firmware, modem(Like IMEI #1, #2)/baseband information lost or not
and bootloader locked by previous(Single sim) flashed bootloader. Also it it void Knox warranty? I known that official firmware cross flash is not void know warranty, is it correct?
Thank you

Just flash with odin, know will not be triggered by flashing official firmware.
Just test it, u won't lose ur data en if anything went wrong just flash your stock firmware back.

Flash SM-A520F/DS with a SM-A520F firmware?

Hello there,
Recently I bought a Samsung A5 2017 in Indonesia (model dual sim) and would like to know if it's possible to put a french firmware (so a firmware of SM-A520F) on SM-A520F/DS model?
Thanks for your help

It would be wiser to use dual sim firmware rather than single sim firmware

Thanks but I don't find any dual sim firmware even on Sammobile....
Is there a risk of brick if I flash with a single sim firmware? Or maybe there's another solution?

I was worried too but I tried to use the normal a520f firmware and it worked fine.
BTW Some apps may not work because they will assume you are rooted eg. S HEALTH and secret mode on browser but you can actually root to get around this by editing a line in build.prop

I'm on the same boat, only with the A3: I've bought my phone as an A320F/DS (that's what the box says, and indeed it has double SIM), but when you check Settings--»About phone--»Model name, it only says A320F (without the DS). And then when you look for firmware updates in Samsung website, you only find for the A320F. Might it be that A320F/DS is only a second, alternative denomination for the A320F, being both identical? (Same would happen with the A7.)

It's one year since your question, but still my answer may help others:
I've flashed a SM-A320F stock firmware on my SM-A320F/DS and it works perfectly. I believe that the A series firmwares are exactly the same for single SIM and dual SIM models.

In trying to sort this out for the s7 g935f/ds, I believe I was told that indeed the F firmware is the correct firmware for both 1 and 2 sim models. There was no FDS firmware at all.

You used F firmware for your country, or from somewhere else? Lost NFC functionality? What else?
And what version did you flash, this last one, Android 10? On top of Android 9?

Hello,
I updated my SM-505FN with SM-505F.
Everything works fine except that I lost NFC so I'll switch back to my original software as soon as Android Q is released for my mobile.
Thank you Muhamet again.

Hello
I am from Algeria ( North Africa ) and my mobile is an ORX ( Slovakia CSC ). I wanted to get android 10 on my phone. Android 10 was not released nowhere except in those two countries so I had no other choice.

Hi, I wanted to ask if converting the model from F to FN and the other way around, can there be reception problems or worse signal? for example, I am Italian, if I install the Indian software do I have the same results as the fn itv software for Italy? thanks in advance

Yes it will cause issues, for one you will lose NFC functionality.. the update should be next month for everyone so just chill and wait..

Ok thank you

A505FN/SEE DUAL SIM 4/128 flashed with A505F/INS
Only NFC is gone, DUAL SIM is working and everything else.
Android 10 feels much better, wifi on 5Gz much stable, fingerprint is awesome,
in other words 10 is great.
Cheers
