Hi all,
I have a G3 D855 16gb; european version. I flashed my Phone with the new v10L firmware but by accident I took the global version instead of the v10l-EUR-xx. But even using Flash Tool 2014 trying to get it back to stock firmware, no matter what I try, any firmware will say it's global now on my Phone. I'm sure I downloaded the EUR-KDZ file. Anyone has any idea how this is possible, or how to fix this?
Thank you in advance!
Not sure it matters. I thought it based version suffix on imei number. I flashed international/european but it says SEA.
I really hope so indeed! I just can't find a way to fix it...
Hi,
getting my hands on a 520M - I cannot find info for twrp/recovery info stating specifically a given version works on the M model. (this is a latin american regional model as I understand it), but the phone comes unlocked, assume it is 6.0 though I can upgrade to an early 7.0 version (avoiding the u2/u3 bootloader issues).
Can/might it work with https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...fficial-release-twrp-recovery-galaxy-t3648152 ? Or looking at it another way, are there any hardware differences that might make it likely to have issues?
Any insight appreciated,

From my understanding the letter behind the SM-520x just marks the region, the hardware used should be the same however. I would try it, but make sure to download your stock recovery, so you can fix it, just in case it doesn't work out correctly! Hope i could help
Ok so I really y need your help guys!
I've asked this question a few times in the past about other phones I ended up not keeping, but I'm now intent on making this work.
I'll keep it simple: can I flash a Canadian CSC on a Global phone? Will this brick the phone?
I don't quite fully understand how the CSC relates to everything else, but the times I tried I couldn't get the CSC to change. Plus I'm concerned because I have a dual sim model (which doesn't exist in Canada) that is Exynos, where the Canadian model is a SD.
Through my reading I think it could work but I don't want to have a $1000 paperweight in the end, but I'm have piss-poor reception, Samsung Pay doesn't work, VoLTE doesn't work, I can't block phrases in SMS and the list goes on. I want to try this to see if it helps anything... Failing this I may cut my losses, sell the phone half-price and just get a non-Samsung device; I'm getting so aggravated at this it's not even funny.
Thanks!
PS: if you are wondering why I didn't buy a Canadian phone to start with, let's say it's a complicated answer but can be summed up by the dual SIM cards.
A CSC defines that carrier settings of the phone. As long as you use official Samsung firmware and do it properly it will not brick your phone. Look at sammobile first to see if Canada has a stock firmware. However, doing this will mean all data is lost, are you flashing carrier based firmware or your country's global software?
I just did a search and on the S8 there was no difference between the single sim and dual sim softwares and on GSM arena it classes them as the same. Do you the have snapdragon or exynos version?

I don't mind data loss, I have back ups and really not much on the phone anyway. Canada has stock firmwares for each carrier, so to answer your question, carrier based. But my huge deal here is the different configuration between what is available here and what I have: I surely can't flash the entire firmware based on a canadian phone... I would lose my dual SIM and surely the difference processors would brick the device. But I'm not really sure if I can mix and match, i.e. pick a CSC for my carrier and everything else (PDA), and if I can, what do I chose?!
See where I'm at... because I can't flash the entire firmware I think I'm s.o.l.
I'm afraid the situation isn't that good for you.... I am assuming you have the Exynos varient since I cant see a dual sim version of the snapdragon variation which means no Canadian firmware is available for your device at all. Since I'm in the United Kingdom we usually swap our CSCs with ease but it appears if you didn't buy the snapdragon version your out of luck at least for now. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help you could sell and get the Canadian version but you won't be able to dual sim or get another phone I left from the S6 to oneplus and had a really good exprenice but that was on the 3T so I'm not sure what they are like now
Again sorry I couldn't have been more help:crying:

Figured as much... I'll move on I guess...
well, thing is my device has a firmware from a carrier form mexico and i wanted to change it to get rid of those MANY apps it comes with. however, i ended up with some questions, i want a version that can give me OTA updates as they come out (this carrier takes a lot of time to realease updates) so as far as i could find the lm-g710em10b was a good option, but my model is a lm-g710awm, so...
1._ can i flash the g710em10b kdz on my g710awm model without having to worry about something in specific?
2._ Is that kdz version a good one or do you recomend another one for me?
3._ as far i know i do not need to unlock my bootloader to change my firmware, am i wrong?
hope you can help me, and thanks in advance hehe
Hi,
In order to buy an international S20 ultra 5g and use it in europe (france), I am wondering if flashing the device with a french firmaware could allow me to use it without issues, above all use samsung pay (I'm becoming blind and using card terminal in shops is sometime really tricky) ?
Look at sammobile and type in the serie number. Firmware will be there. If you're lucky your provider is there too. I don't think exynos versions of the software will work on Snapdragon. Good luck
if your chipset is qualcomm you cant use exynos firmware and otherwise
