Check the installed firmware version under "Settings --> About phone", post the version here and I can get you the link for the latest available firmware.

Thats not specific enough as too many regions with the same firmware version are available. You can use Phone INFO - Samsung to read out
region code / country
Latest official Android is 4.4.2
firmware I9195XXUCNK1 can be flashed (instaled) using ODIN.

I can't find any valuable informations about your device. SCH-I435 is Verizon's S4 mini. Which carrier is the I435L?

1. In ONE ROM you have MORE THAN ONE COUNTRY
2. By flashing rom, recovery, rooting the phone it is possible to loose warranty or bricking the phone.
3. You can follow these steps:
- Download the rom (firmware) acording to your country from samfirmware or sam-updates websiet.
example 1: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9195/SWC/
example 2: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9195/AUT/
In that Rom there will also be country like HU, DE, IT, FR and so on.
The software/rom will "take" the CSC for choosing if is a O2 or an ITM or Vodaphone or Verizon etc. after flashing it.
So, you need to change CSC, if you wish to swich from IT to DE for example, and that CSC to be contained into the ROM.
But to change CSC you need root, as far as I can see.
Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751192
section " - How to change CSC? "
I hope it helps.

You will not have any problem flashing different region.
Mine was panama Latin America, but I've flashed Russia, India, Germany, different carrier for my country and all worked fine.

It appeared in samsung's official website and seems to be sold without contract.
It has almost the same hardware to I435.

The phone is not listed as SCH-I435L. The firmware version on Samsung's website is SCH-I435ZKAXAR, search engine shows I435"L"... in title but its not listed anywhere on the Samsung website. If you click on "retailer" online or locally you won't get listed any shops selling this model. The common sources for Samsung firmware don't provide any downloads. Its as the phone doesn't exist. Only option left is to contact Samsung's customer care.

It doesn't matter which region you choose.

Maybe contacting samsung's customer care is ultimate way. The i435L does exist cuz I abtained the firmware version from an ebay's seller.

i found a correct rom but...
The rom has same version i got now (4.2.2)... will something happen if I flash a rom that has same version?

Change the CSC on a .MD5 file

Hey Guys,
The title is pretty self-explanatory, I purchased a Galaxy Watch active from a Hong Kong seller not realising it would stop me from using Samsung Pay. As it is a new model I've only found one copy of the Firmware .MD5 files and the CSC is not the Australian one (which is the country that I live in). Is it possible to change the CSC code and thus the region of the .MD5 file so I can Flash my watch and get it onto the right region and unlock Samsung Pay?
I apologise if this is a stupid or naive question this is all brand new to me and I'm still trying to keep up.

Hey, sorry for the delay in reply I was able to simply push the change of the region following this tutorial: https://l.messenger.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fsmartwatch%2Fgear-sport%2Fchanging-region-samsung-gear-sport-r600-t3771324&h=AT3gL1EJTD_LzPupE_pcei82eesT1O0MKpVQZGSgoTro4ovlL9xync975ADDZ67vB2UNTW7C_4dmZ5WRKU3anMSWN8dssfrihNs8SZH3LfhrIVqv-wn2MKbt5fW4K_jCN3hLiObSfgARdyN3SlnrVw no need to fuss about finding the right software or even cracking into the watch it was dead easy and wireless.
Hope this helps!

I've tried the region reset on my SM-R500, but I can't find the Irish (or UK) network providers in the list when doing the reset. I've got a watch that was set to UAE, so I'm guessing that specific firmware doesn't come with Irish regional settings? Any workaround to this? Is it possible to flash a suitable firmware and if so, where would I find the correct firmware?

N976B firmware question

Hey guys...I have a Note 10 plus 5G from UK, but I am using it in another country (Romania). We have 5G here as well, so this is not the problem. The firmware on the phone is not the latest, but it doesnt find the new one via OTA. I checked the firmware site and there are the August one there. So the question is, if I upgrade via Odin, with one of those FW, will it lock to an UK carrier? Or a German one, or other? Or will it remain unlocked and no issues there?
Thanks!

If the phone is unlocked. The firmware you install on it will not lock it..

Indeed, thank you, did that, all went fine.

I have a similar question. I have a EE unit note 10+ 5g and was wondering if flashing the UK non ee version with a different CSC from samobile will actually change my phone's CSC or will it still detect it's a ee device and still say EVR/EVR/EVR under service provider information. thanks

Samsung Pay on Note10+ (International device) from Ebay

So there's discussion that if we purchase an International Note 10 or Note 10+ from ebay, we may not be able to use Samsung Pay in the United States. The reason being, the Note will be preloaded with Pay App that's from that region. Had anyone been able to uninstall the pre-installed app and reload the app via apkmirror to get Samsung Pay to work in the US?
Saw a post on the s8 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/how-add-samsung-pay-to-sm-g950fd-dual-t3600699) which talked about this exact problem. Not sure if it's the same here and if anyone got to work around the region problem. Not talking about U firmware.

If you read that thread, this was not the case. He was able to use it by installing the framework and app for the USA version.
On my own Korean Note 10+ 5g I tried installing the USA apk but it still keeps saying it can't connect to server.

Check if your csc is from a country that Samsung Pay supports, in the same thread someone post the steps for change the csc. Maybe that can make yours work.

My phone is from Taiwan (BRI) and my previous phone was from Hong Kong (TGY) and Samsung Pay worked fine for both in Canada, right out of the box. I did not change the CSC, etc.

Yeah I don't think that has anything to do with it, given that s8 thread. The OP in that one said he had to sideload the framework and app for USA to work, but I don't see how we could do that since the framework doesn't let me uninstall. As mentioned I tried side loading the USA version of the app from apk mirror but it still failed to connect to server and now tells me I need to use a Korean SIM card to use Samsung Pay.

On my note 8 all the rewards are in Chinese, but it works fine for actually paying for things

I have and international version Note10+, buy it from samsung miami, but the firmware installed from factory in the phone was from Panama, Every time I try to launch samsung pay with a US sim card it stucked on the connecting screen. I tried to uninstall and install the usa version, but the youy cant uninstall the framework without root. I change the firmware for one coming from the country that support Samsung Pay and changed the CSC by doing it. Now Samsung Pay works and use to pay at stores.
This is only my experience, maybe you can find another way. It you find it please post it because I want a better solution.
Hope that this post help in some way.

Which model do you have and which country's firmware/CSC did you change it to, to get Samsung Pay to work? This information will save many people from the agony of hunting down functional firmwares for Samsung Pay.

Sure, I have the SM-N975F model and I use the firmaware N975FXXU1ASHE from Spain, the CSC is PHE also read that the Italy CSC works.

Hey guys I gave a try to the software Samkey, they have an option to change your csc in a multicsc firmware. For example, I wanted the PCT csc code because is from Puerto Rico(my country) and I knew that Samsung Pay worked with it, so I flashed the firmware N975FXXU1ASH5 with multi-csc OWA N975FOWA1ASH5 because one of the csc is the one I wanted. The default csc in this firmware is CHL from chile(Samsung Pay dont support this country), next I buy 3 credits for Samkey on ebay for $6 and use the option to change the CSC and it worked. Do not needed to factory reset or delete any data. Also the phone do a OTA update and still have the PCT csc code. Hope this help someone.

The seller was https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/254275758975
The software is in http://www.samkey.org/download.html
The seller gives you one account with minimum 3 credits, but you only have to use 2 credits

In case that your actual country of residence is different from the CSC you are using, have you tried adding your bank's debit card to Samsung Pay?
My CSC is Hong Kong and I can add Canadian credit cards but not debit cards. I was interested to know if this is the case across the board.

Is anyone else here still able to use MST payments while using a variant not meant for their home country?
For the past month or two, my SM-N9750 (Hong Kong) will not work with MST here in Canada. Prior to that, I would use MST every week, especially with my SM-G9650 (S9+, Hong Kong).
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Samsung Pay works out of the box for both my dual sim Note 10+ and S10+. Both are from the UAE (XSG). Im using it with a USA card. However, there will be no USA points & promotions. , which are showing UAE promotions.

I don't think the US firmware T-mobile CSC will work in this case, I have not seen anything suggesting it's use is possible for this scenario..
Also if you search SamMobile for the firmware for your device and don't see T-Mobile firmware you will probably need to use custom firmware (with the features added) and root the device (required for custom firmware).

big thanks dude
is it possible to push tmobile CSC file into international version phone ?

You could probably flash it if the files were released for the model of phone you are using (of which you have not said). At that rate your best off just flashing the carrier firmware itself to ensure full compatibility.
Looking at SamMobile I can find T-Mobile carrier firmware for the N975F, N9750, N975W and N9760
