Official USA firmware?

Hi, I unrooted my note 8 GT-N5110 because it was acting all wacky. In searching for instructions on how to unroot (not that many) I wasn't too sure of which was the right official firmware to flash via odin. Though some of the few sites I found on official firmware, they somewhat always pointed me to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N5110 Now here is where I get confused. They have regions listed (sammobile does as well) but none of them say anything about USA or North America for that matter.
Can someone please tell me what region we are supposed to be using for this tablet (N5110). I ended up flashing the one from region FWD (Morocco) seemed to be the latest and everything is working fine. I did notice that there are two new Samsung apps that weren't on it out of the box ie: Learners Hub and Readers Hub.
My concern is that maybe I'm screwing with my future updates. Again can someone please help me with which is our region (USA).
Thanks in advance.

Try looking on http://www.sammobile.com/
You should be able to find the correct firmware. I flashed back to 4.1.2 for UK region (from 4.2.2)

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?

Can i flash the .200 firmware from this website onto my "generic LAM" international?

Can i flash the .200 firmware from this website onto my "generic LAM" international?
I have an "international" model that i believe is the LAM (Latin American Model) and i want to downgrade from .224 to .200 (for ivoryroott to backup DRM before bootloader unlocking) The only place i can find any .200 software is from the linked site below. I want to make sure its safe for me to follow this website and flash this firmware so has anyone used this website before? What gets me concerned is that at the end of the firmware file that you download to downgrade your phone, it has "_NCB" this makes me worry its for a particular model... I have plenty of experience with android and development but this is my first sony phone. Also, ive already checked XperiFirm and it doesnt have any software for any of our models BEFORE the .224 or .254 firmwares which i thought was weird.

Thank you guys for any help!
SOLVED: yes i can lol

Oh forgot to add that it is the 6853 model

[LG-H81220U] I want to downgrade from MM to LP so that I can root my LG G4 (H81220U)

Hello, I want to downgrade my LG G4 (Software Version: H81220U) from Marshmallow to Lollipop so that I can root my phone. Could anybody guide me to achieve a downgrade AND a root? My carrier is Telus/Koodo in case it's relevant information.
Thank you in advance

first you need to nkow if tou can as in some models antirollback changes and makes it imposible to downgrade. so first make sure that antirollback versions they are if the same then you may if different then youll hard brick phone.

Hi @syphlect
Did you manage to downgrade it?
Have searched all the forums, did not find a way to root the LG G4 H1220u Koodo version.
let me know if you found any links

Use ...
Use ... LGUP - NEW ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803 ) to downgrade from MM to LP. You want H81210 for your Lollipop KDZ. Once you've done that, you can install a pre-rooted image (easier) or root your own extracted KDZ. Note: You will not be able to obtain root through any of the Root-Apps - check out the link in the next paragraph for the general how-to for the H812, if you have not already done so.
Refer to [Canadian Guide] - Complete Source for the LG G4 H812. Linux VM/Root/Tools&Files at: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449 for the how-to on rooting the H812.
Follow the Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586) ONLY for installing the rooted image and use the command for the H812 model in the 2nd post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...ot-lg-t3164765 found in the following box: Command to Flash System.img (All Variants):
Once done, because you still will have a locked bootloader, you will not be able to install a regular version of a custom recovery or flash a custom rom (that may come eventually when efidroid is managed to be ported to the locked LG4's). However, you will be able to install a non-regular version of a custom recovery with TWRP-in-FisH that has been tested on the H812 and is working just fine with Version 3 Beta 4 and 5 (you can find those links in the later posts in that site): [LOCKED][G4][TWRP][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP-in-FIsH for all locked G4 devices at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048

See if you can ... find KDZ's that that are particular to your region in the event there may be differences in bandwidths that are operational, etc.

Yeah could not find specific to koodo Canada. Need to see if its safe to go with something similar to it.
Also I see my current software version is H81220Z. It got updated overnight even though I un-checked to install updates automatically.
Will the LGUP process still work to downgrade?

Koodo is on the ... Telus network. You can use Telus KDZ's (doesn't specifically have to be H81210Z and they seem to be available (check the Canadian Guide) - others have indicated you can use other Canadian providers (read the Canadian guide). I can't confirm this personally.
Use LGUP-NEW for sure as you are less likely to brick from what I understand if an anti-rollback provision has been put in on the latest firmware upgrade.

Flashing firmware on different model

Hi all,
1- I have S20 ultra G9880 model. But I'm using it in Egypt so my provider csc is different than the firmware's csc. Since then, I never recieved OTA updates although there were multiple updates and I had to download the whole firmware and install it with odin. So is there a way to get OTA updates back to work?
2- I read on some other websites that there is a way to flash firmware from different model (for example G988U) on any snapdragon based model (like the one I had) but this has to be done with a patched Odin so it will ignore the model differences. My question is, is this correct? if so can some one post the link to this patched odin ? or is there another way to flash a firmware of different model but with snapdragon processor in it?
Thanks in advance

I've not heard of this being possible before. But even if it were possible, flashing the firmware for the US model, wouldn't do you any good either, since that firmware doesn't have support for Egypt either. On top of that, the US model supports different bands that your phone doesn't, hence the difference in the modem.

Well, I wanted to install the US firmware mainly to be able to use the One UI 3.0 beta.
If there is another way to install it on my phone without flashing the US firmware then I'd be grateful to know

Sounds like a recipe for a disaster...

Did you flash the same Firmware (CSC) to get OTA's? Samsung sends updates, not your service provider regardless of your location so it's odd you're not receiving them.
On the SM-G9880 there are only 3 FW's compatible for flashing, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. Android 11, One Ul 3.0 isn't yet available for your device however the Source Code is online. Likely you're better off waiting a bit longer, it should be available for your device by the end of the year.

With respect to updates if you own a PC often times Samsung's Smart Switch platform will distribute these before OTA's become avaliable which eliminates the need to flash your device.
