My phone is unrooted (and with the original ROM).
After installing Keys I get the message:
"Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update via Kies"
* Current firmware version: PDA|:LJ3 / PHONE:LJ2 / CSC: LJ2 (ILO)
If I select Tools->"Firmware Upgrade and Initialization", I get the message:
`GT-N7100' does not support initializing.
Any ideas?, thanks

Look here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-N7100&pcode=ILO&os=1&type=1#firmware, if you have that firmware (N7100XXALIH) you have the correct version. If you don`t flash it with Odin. You have the wrong software atm for Kies support.
I have the exact same problem as amirdt.
My phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 2) runs the stock rom it came with. I haven't rooted the device since it works perfectly with the stock ROM, but once connected to Kies, I get following:
Firmware information:
Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.
Current firmware version:
PDA:LJ3 / PHONE:LJ2 / CSC:LJ4 (XXX) (What does the XXX stand for?)
Build number
N7100XXALJ3
Reading gee2012's reply above, I visited the site that was linked in the post and did a search on GT-7100. Found me a long list of frimwares. All of them were Android 4.1.1, except one:
GT-N7100 - Open Europe
PDA: N7100XXDLJ2
CSC: N7100OXADLJ2
Version: 4.1.2
Date: 2012-10-29
Regions: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
And this is pretty much where my knowledge comes to an end.
I find 64 matches for my current build and one for the 4.1.2 (listed above).
I don't understand why Kies is giving me the error message about my firmware not being supported
I don't know whether I am eligible to update my phone to Jellybean 4.1.2. Kies is a no-go because of the error message. If I try to select Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, I get the error "GT-N7100 does not support initializing".
If I try the "software update" check on my phone, it says "Latest updates have already been installed". I don't know what to do or believe on this one.
I'm kind of confused. I can't determine whether my phone is up to date and working as intended or if there is really something that is not right with the firmware. Should I be able to upgrade to Android 4.1.2?
I'm sorry for many questions, but right now I am both out of ideas and knowledge. If someone smarter than me could provide me some support/answers on this one, I'd be most happy. I use my phone a lot and it's my primary tool when on the field.

2 things:
1. If you want to update with Kies and receive OTA updates you need to flash the firmware that is specific for your country/region
2. If you want to flash the latest firmware like 4.1.2 you can flash any firmware with Odin but you cannot use Kies/OTA`s anymore.
This will also change the CSC file.

Thank you for a quick reply, gee2012.
I prefer to keep things as simple as possible without too much in-depth technical tweaking. Your answers confused me even more.
1. I have very little to no clue how to figure out what my firmware would be (Sweden - and there seem to be several of them), even less to determine which one it would be the right one.
2. I don't know whether to trust Kies or the "software update" in "About device". Kies reports an error, the software update says that all of the latest updates are already installed. Does this mean that OTA updates should work?
I'm sorry for asking more questions. What I would need a is a definite step-by-step guide how to fix these kinds of problems.

Check on www.sammobile.com/firmware for the latest firmware for your country/region. If that version is not identical to the version that is on your phone Kies and OTA`s will not work. In that case you need to download and flash that firmware from the Sammobile website. That`s it mate. You can check your firmware in the phone dialpad by pressing *#1234#.
Once again, thank you for your reply and guidance. I think things might become a bit interesting now:
GT-N7100 Nordic countries 2012 October Android 4.1.1 N7100XXALJ3 N7100OXXALJ4
The PDA=N7100XXALJ3 (displayed as "AP" when I did that dialpad trick you mentioned, and shows up as the build number in "About device") and CSC=N7100OXXALJ4. To me it looks like a match and also be the latest firmware for my country/region. If this is correct, then Kies and OTA should work? Kies still reports the same error about the firmware, but the software update option on the phone reports that latest updates have already been installed.
Does this indicate that the phone is working fine as is OTA, but Kies is not?
I also have this problem, I went from Omega rom back to stock through Kies recovery procedure. Now when I check it says the exact same thing
"Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update via Kies" Homw is this possible?
Thx

Hi. I'm new to this forum. Hope someone can help me or at least give light to the situation.
I followed the first option. i downloaded the official stock rom from sammobile for country: Philippines and Provider: Globe. and i was able to successfully flash it. my phone now shows the correct Kernels, etc.
However, when i tried to connect my Samsung Galaxy S2, Kies still says:
Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.
- Current firmware version: PDA:LPF / PHONE:LPB / CSC:LPF (COA)
not sure if this is because this isn't the correct firmware for my phone, country and provider or if kies shows this error because the phone, which is a Samsung S2 I9100 is still not elligible to upgrade to JellyBean since Samsung still hasn't rolled out the Jelly Bean update for S2 yet. If it is the former, what should i do?
Hope the experts here can help me or clarify matters. Thanks in advance you guys.
Guys, same problem here.
Phone's ROM seems to be (as far as I can tell from Samfirmware) a Hong Kong/Phillipines version and to receive updates, from the guidance above, it seems I will have to flash UK stock ROM. On Samfirmware there does not appear to be a ROM for my carrier (Orange/EE) though the phone was bought unbranded, not through them. Couple of questions if anyone can help:
- So long as I flash a ROM for the right region, is it necessary to have the right carrier's ROM?
- Does anyone know if 4.1.2 is actually being distributed in the UK?
- I can swap SIM to O2 temporarily (There is an O2 ROM on Samfirmware). I presume if there is a uk (O2) update I could install their 4.1.1 stock, install the 4.1.2 update and the unlock the phone? Any problems with this?
Any help much appreciated.
(N7100 - Galaxy Note 2.)
SORTED! Flashed latest stock ROM from Samfirmware which is 4.1.1 (o2 UK) and multitasking features all working. Kies still says it won't update the phone. Phone says latest updates installed but as far as I can tell that's because 4.1.2 isn't out yet. Not particularly a problem now though. Will just flash latest stock when it comes available.

I am not an expert, but it sounds like you are trying to flash a bootloader that is an older version than the version 4 on your phone. I don't think you can downgrade the BL version. The fifth character from the end is the BL version. (e.g. G955USQU4CRE1) Also, you may need a newer version of ODIN.

Yes. There are a lot of software versions available. If you use Updato you can search by model number and service provider (listed as region on Updato. I was able to find one with a version 4 bootloader. Similar to your version, but CRE9 at the end. It is an oreo version. Your phone is a model SM-G-955U when you search there. It might take a long time to download. I have sometimes had luck speeding things up by trying to restart the download. Sometimes it just takes a long time. Be careful when you are flashing if you have any desire to go back to a previous version. I am not sure of the limitations.
Another thing you could try that might be easier for you is to go to the JRKruse ROM thread here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s8+/development/rom-t3771206 and use the instructions he has there to install the ROM. There is another rooted ROM that he has that may also work for you. He has instructions on what to do.
Hello, my galaxy s8 is stuck in rpmb provisioned and its boot looping, I can get to download mode, it doesn't say things such as fuse blown etc. How can I get out of the boot loop? Help is appreciated.
Did you find a fix? Im having a very similar problem. I don't see any stock roms with a v4 bootloader. The most recent seems to be a v3.
Fixed it the way Smithfolk said. I was using the combination rom FA70_G955USQU4ARE1 with a V4 bootloader. I used odin v3.13.1 and flashed verizion G955USQU4CRE9 from Sammobile including the bootloader and it fixed my phone.
Help a brother out bros,
I'm new to android, been using a Nokia 808 for the past 7 years, and Nokias in general since 2006. anyway I'm from a ****ty 3rd-world country with no official Samsung dealer, so we're stuck buying whatever these 3rd-party merchants provide, so I got what appeared to be a sealed, brand new Samsung S9 (it was the smallest device I could find with acceptable specifications, if it was 1 cm shorter, and 0.5 cm narrower it would've been perfect).
Shortly I noticed that some text is dark grey/black against a black background, which makes it very difficult to see; upon googling, I found out that the issue was fixed with a software update, so I looked through 'setting' for the update function, and immediately noticed, I was having difficulty find it, I thought it was weird to have it hidden like that; and again upon googling I found out that it's supposed to be in [Settings > System Update > Download and Install] it's not there. I can only find it by typing "system update" in the 'search' box, and even then touching "Download and install" did nothing, no feedback whatsoever.
Anyways upon further googling and googling, I came to the conclusion that the device is rooted and knox is tripped, now the problem is the product number of the device which caused me confusion, in the software and on sticker at the back of the device it states the following
SM-G960F
IMEI1: ***MOD EDIT-IMEI REMOVED***
IMEI2: ***MOD EDIT-IMEI REMOVED***
SN: ***MOD EDIT-SERIAL REMOVED***
MADE IN VIETNAM BY SAMSUNG
but when I got into Odin mode it states that the model number is actually SM-G960N. so my questions are:
1. if I were to flash back to an official firmware using odin should I use the one for SM-G960N or the one for SM-G960F? keeping in mind that this was peddled to me as dual sim device, and it does support two sim cards.
2. If my device is indeed Korean, is it okay if installed firmware with PDA: G960FXXU7CSJ1 instead of firmware PDA: G960NKSU2CSJ1? are there any differences?
3. is it possible to fix Samsung-related issues like the black text against black backgrounds through some other methods like using a different rom/launcher/environment or whatever?
4. how do you recommend I proceed? what would you do if you were in my place?
According to your IMEI (that btw you should never share publicly), your phone is a SM-G960N. If knox is tripped, the only way to update the software is to flash through Odin. Since your phone is already rooted, i also advice you to check out some custom rom you can find in this forum. They're a nice improvement over the stock firmware.
if you want official firmware, you have to install one from this list

does installing a custom rom fixes/removes samsung-related issues like the dark text against black backgrounds?
what harm could be done if people knew my IMEI?

If the custom rom is based on a samsung firmware that already fixes the issue then yes. For what i've found , your issue was fixed around of April 2019, so any ROM based on a firmware released after that date will include the fix.
Regarding the IMEI, you don't share it because is an unique identifier number. It's like giving out your ID card or passport number. Someone could impersonate you with your phone company and provide the IMEI as a proof.

thanks for the answers effry, I do have one more though so bare with me.
the currently installed firmware is SM-G960Fblahblahblah (europe/worldwide), if I instead flash to official firmware from the SM-G960N (Korea) ones as you suggested, will that change the supported cellular bands? I live in Libya.

Since you have now an "F" firmware, you could try first an SM-G960F ROM , then if you encounter issues i'd give a shot to the korean one.
For lybia the latest firmware is this:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s9/firmware/SM-G960F/BTC/download/G960FXXU7CSJ1/296419/
My theory is that your phone is an SM-G960N, but someone flashed an "F" firmware on it.

heh!! he made the same mistake i did and called it FAP lock!! LOCK DOWN ALL THE FAPPING!!!
also, i 100% agree with reflashing. Id even suggest trying it on a different computer. Install the system wide adb on the other computer, download Odin and get a fresh download of the firmware and reflash
Just checked My daughters mi 10t lite and to My surprise it still runs 12.0.8.0
It seems there are newer versions but her Phone says that No newer version is avalilable when searching.
Also it seems Android security level is december 2020 which seems very outdated.
IT seems that there are newer versions so why Will the Phone not find Them.?
Mine is the same. Its my first Xiaomi and it surprised me too.

I haven't installed any yet as I only started looking today but I'm a newbie with stuff like this so I'll wait and see if anyone else chimes in and gives us some more pointers. I don't really want to brick my phone!

When you go now to the upper right corner w. the 3 dots, you will now see some new entries, select "Choose update package", then select the downloaded recovery image, and install it.
In your case, since your Versions are heavy outdated I recommend a full backup prior - it can mess up some settings or files.

If/When you do the update, please report back what version you selected and if it did indeed needed af factory reset to work properly.
To be honest i think it is pretty poor, that this not just works out of the box, i have never heard of another brand where the OTA did not work, it's such a bacis function and i must confess, that if it ends up, needing me to do manual upgrading, this will heavily affect my will to buy og recommend anyone to buy a Xiaomi phone.
It seems the expression "You get what you pay for" is right in this instance, and i would certainly rather have paid a bit more to get something that just works, if i had known that even this basic feature did no work.
I wonder, if i update the phone manually to the latest firmware, if it will get the next updates OTA or this is a recurring thing, to do manual upgrades every time ..
Check you full FW version (including letters) - some ROMs are provided by phone operators and these are well known to delay or block the updates. Global ROMs should not show this behavior, I receive all OTA updates on time (or I just download and apply them manually as described by y1nk0).
Thanks for the suggestions but it didn't work.
I pasted the zip file into the phone memory and selected it in the update menu. The error message was Not possible to verify the update. You cannot flash this ROM, or along those lines.
It isn't an operator branded phone and it was brand new out of the box a few days ago so I suppose its possible that it gets an OTA update in the future, but yeah, I'm pretty disappointed with the phone in general really and was hoping that some of the poor features would be improved with an update to Android 11.
Its a work phone so at least I didn't pay for it, but it also means that I can't really do anything which might brick it, I got it to replace a Samsung A50 which I dropped and killed so I have to be careful!
The current ROM is 12.0.8.0(QJSEEUXM) which seems to be an official Mi ROM dated 22 Dec 2021.
I will check the full firmware version and post it here when i get home, but my daughters phone was bought from a large generic electronic retailer and it was bought without any subscription to any phone company and it has no visible branding at all, so i highly doubt that it will be because of this.
But as said...I will post the exact firmware version of the phone later, it would be interesting to see if it is the same as "overandout" has.
I dont know if the phone has actually ever received any updates, but i doubt it, as the safety level is December 2020, and she bought the phone in 2021.
Maybe there is a bug in that particular firmware that prevents it from succesfully updating.
I am thinking of maybe returning the phone to the shop, and reporting it to be faulty, because of the inability to upgrade.
Nowadays firmware and firmware updates are a big part of keeping a phone in "good working order" so the inability to update is certainly in my book to be consideres a serious flaw / defect.
I dont mind to update it manually to be honest, but i would expect it to then begin, updating by itself, i dont want to have to do manual updating every x months.

Hi
No i did not try anything yet, y1nk mentions that since the version is very outdated to make a backup, and i have not had time to do this yet.
Will probably do it this weekend, but i kind of need to have her make a backup of her phone....And i dont even know if she thinks it's worth the trouble if she has to start the phone from scratch after the update.
Teenagers have a LOT of apps and stuff on their phone, it's not just a matter of 5 minutes and she is ready to have her phone potentially reset to factory standard
But seeing as you had no luck i am not holding my breath for that method tbh. : )
Fair enough, I didn't bother with the back up because the phone is so new I hardly have anything configured anyway.

If you're on V12.0.8.0.QJSEUXM, I would try updating to V12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM first. Sometimes it's not possible to skip one or more updates and you have to install them one by one.

That makes sense. I went the other way and tried to install the penultimate version (12.5.6.0) but that gave the same error as the latest..
I'll try the "sequential" approach later.

Well, it was worth a try!
Exactly the same result unfortunately.
Not too sure what to try next really.
So i tried a bit here.
What she has is a phone that has the following firmware installed
MIUI Global 12.0.8.0
Stable
12.0.8.0 (QJSEUXM)
So i tried downloading the MIUI downloader tool and selected older versions, and downloaded the firmware called miui_GAUGINEEAGlobal_V12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM_15bfbef742_11.0.zip
put it in a folder called "downloaded_rom", went to the install updates, pressed the MIUI logo to make the "install from package" appear, selected this file and then it chewed on the file for 10-20 seconds and then it just says :
"Can not confirm update"
"Sorry, flash to this stable version is not allowed"
It feels really strange that a phone that has a firmware version called QJSEUXM is unable to update to a version called RJSEUXM
The only difference is that Q has become R, and since R comes right after Q in the alphabet, i would assume that this is the next version.
I am at a loss here, and the posts i made on the official Xiaomi forum, has gone unanswered.
One weird thing though.
I would expext firmware version 12.0.8.0 to be newer than 12.0.1.0. The naming of version seems a bit strange ??
The 12.0.1.0 version is android 11 and the 12.0.8.0 is android 10, so the 12.0.1.0 is newer it seems.
Still, makes no sense that it can not be updated, the file i downloaded is 2,5 Gbyte, so clearly a full image, not just incremental
Try to change your region in system settings (you might even receive an OTA update), updates are sometimes blocked for whatever reason for a particular country. India/China are usually first to receive an update, so they might work.
MIUI sub-version numbers are reset after major Android upgrade, so V12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM (MIUI12 Android 11) is newer than V12.0.8.0.QJSEUXM (MIUI 12 Android 10).
Btw. it seems that there was one more ROM update before moving to Android R (V12.0.9.0.QJSEUXM), you could have more luck with its installation.

Thank you for the reply, i have succesfully downloaded and installed the 12.0.9.0 firmware version on her phone.
So now it says :
MIUI Global 12.0.9.0 (QJSEUXM)
The android security level is now 01-01-2021
I then tried changing region to a lot of different countries, including countries in the African region, and India which i believe is in the asian region, and also a few european, it said "Changing region" multiple times, but no matter what country i tried, it still said "No available updates". This was offcourse with 12.0.9.0.
I feel that the speed with which it says "There is no update" kind of suggests that it might not even check, but i dont know if it does, and just really quickly figures out that there is no updates.
So while she got a marginally newer firmware with a 1 month newer security date, it still refuses to find OTA updates with 12.0.9.0 Android 10 by itself.
I also tried re-running the downloaded 12.0.1.0 Android 11 version i had previously downloaded, but it still fails with the same message as before.
It seems the update routine for this phone is really screwed. It was able to do the manual update to the newer android 10 but it refuses to do anything with the android 11 firmwares.
If anyone has more succes, i would like to hear about it. My teenage daughter is not prepared to do a full factory reset, so unless someone finds a way to do this without having to reset the phone, i think she will just want to keep the phone on the current firmware.
PS. I also tried disconnecting from our wifi, in case our firewall was blocking, but on 5G it still does not find any updates, really fast.
I can report the same as xsatquest.
The update to 12.0.9.0 has worked but thats as far as it goes.
I would quite happily do a factory reset to get to Android 11 as long as it doesn't involve unlocking the boot loader or anything else that invalidates the warranty.
I swapped the regions a few times too, but it didn't make any difference.
I have tried to follow some youtube tutorials on using MiFlash Pro to load the recovery image, just in case.
I tried to flash the first Android 11 version of the ROM from here:
Download Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G / Mi 10i / Mi 10T Lite (gauguin) V12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM MIUI 12 Stable Full Rom | XiaomiROM.com
The Stable update V12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM has been officially released for Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G / Mi 10i / Mi 10T Lite (codename is gauguin). Before …
xiaomirom.com
but the MiFlash tool gave the same error as the phone gives (more or less), Sorry, flash to this stable version is not allowed".
So I tried flashing 12.5.7 from here:
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
But its exactly the same...

I know that bootloader unlocking could be a PITA, but it does not invalidate the warranty (at least in Europe).
Edit: could any of you capture logcat during failed attempt for ROM installation? This might provide additional info on why exactly is it failing. Also you might give ADB sideload a chance, I don't expect it to really work, but maybe there will be some extra info too.
I'm using Samsung Note 10+
Model number SCV45, a Japanese variant with a name tag "au" & has the Snapdragon processor, not Exynos.
I want to flash the stock Firmware again.
I have visited SamMobile website to download the firmware of Note 10+. But there are lots of model number available like -
SM-N975F
SM-N975U
SM-N975U1
SM-N975W
SM-N9760
SM-N976B
SM-N976N
SM-N976Q.... so on.
But i didn't found "SCV45" model number.
As far as I know, SM-N975U, SM-N975U1 is for USA region with Snapdragon variant & SM-N975W is for canda region, also with Snapdragon.
If I flash any of the firmware of USA or Canada variant on my Japanese variant device through Odin, is there will be a problem. I have no idea about that as I'm a new user of Samsung. I have always used OnePlus. So I don't have enough knowledge about Samsung firmware.
Please let me know about the fact.

Thanks a lot brother.
But actually, I want to try out US region firmware on my device. So I'm asking, is there any problem if I flashed
SM-N975U or SM-N975U1 firmware? What will happen if I do so?
I need a clear idea about that, because I don't have enough knowledge about Samsung firmware & also I don't want my device turn into a bricked device.
Hope, I will get a clear idea from this XDA forum about that.
maybe your device is rooted or there is a mixed firmware so coming back to original firmware is not without risk
can you post :
- device version:
on dialer : *#1234# or *#12580*369#
Here is the Device Version that you want
Actually today I tried to add a edu mail account on google and it's showing that "Can't create a working profile, here is what error message I got.
I have checked, I don't have root access. And I also running stock Firmware as I got OTA update from Samsung for One UI. So I don't know what is the actual problem. That's why I want to shift from current firmware to USA region firmware.
But I am in a doubt as I don't have enough knowledge about that.
you can't flash a N970U or U1 full firmware
maybe only the CSC part if it work but at your own risk
I believe you can try to flash some completely other version, but no one can be sure if it will work.
I would suggest to have a spare Japan OFW to reflash if anything goes wrong.
Your latest FW according to samfirm should be -> SCV45 -> Region KDI
Version: SCV45KDU1DVC3/SCV45QDI1DVC3/SCV45KDU1DVC3/SCV45KDU1DVC3

Can you tell me about the CSC part? Why you recommend this one only? What about AP, BL & rest?

I know it's hard to find someone who has tried out what I asked for. I don't know whether it will work or not. But I just want to make sure that after flashing a different region firmware, it should not become a hard brick device.
If something goes wrong, at least I flash the SCV45, Japan variant firmware again & everything turns to a normal state as it is running now.
So should I proceed with SM-N975U, USA variant firmware? Will it gonna make my device hard brick? Can I come back to normal state by flashing SCV45 KDI firmware which is mentioned by you?
I need some suggestions. Nobody is answering

I would suggest you not to flash bootloader if possible. Everything else can be dealt with if bricked.

I would personally look for the model, which is the most similar to the japan one and just... pray while flashing

and also, dont forget to flash the "CSC" file, not the "home_CSC" to change the region. (the home_CSC doesn't change CSC and leaves your apps and other stuff intact. On the other hand, the CSC file wipes everything and changes the region.)

I am too much grateful to brother for your suggestions what I actually expected for.
I will follow all your instructions.
I will flash the "CSC" file only. Thanks for let me clear about this thing.
I have just a little confusion about what you have told above.
You suggest me not to flash bootloader. Can you please give me a clear idea how can I skip it or at what step, I should not flash the bootloader? I have just this confusion.

Well... You have to flash through ODIN.
So. In the ODIN you have several options on what to do (what to flash). When you download the FIRMWARE you will have to decompress it. there will be different files -> BL (Bootloader - BL), PDA (the firmware - AP), PHONE (modem and stuff - CP) and CSC (vendor or region specific info).
Firstly I would try to flash only AP + CP + CSC. Which means Firmware + Phone + CSC. Be sure to flash the same version of Android as you have. In that case it should... maybe... probably work the same. If you have bootloader from Android 11 and you try to flash Android 11 from another version, it should work theoretically....
But if you try to flash eg. Android 12 over Android 11 it won't work because the Android 12 uses different bootloader and you need to update it.
It would be most desired to flash the bootloader also. But my suggestion for you is to try flash different version without the bootloader (if it can be done). Because if you don't screw up the bootloader, you will be always able to boot to bootloader a flash back the original firmware.
I don't have the knowledge to tell you, that if you flash USA version of bootloader to the JAPAN version of bootloader that it will work. It probably should, but I believe, noone can answer that and it's just that you will have to try it.
I believe that the ODIN will tell you that you are trying to flash firmware from completely different device and if you are sure to do that.
So again:
1) download firmware from different location with the same android version
2) decompress the firmware
3) in the ODIN -> add only AP, CP, CSC (don't add the bootloader)
4) try to flash!
If it doesn't work, you can try even to flash the bootloader, but I'm a bit worried about that one....
I am highly grateful to you as you have explained the whole thing so clearly. Now I understand all the steps that I need to do. Thank you so much for clearing up the matter in so much detail. Now I can proceed.
I will try as per your suggestion. Let's see what happened.
Thanks again.
bootloader is in AP !

Then what should I do?
before flashing a part of firmware , i think it's better to know more about root
i'm not familiar with root and my lastest rooted device is a galaxy S6
why do you want to change the firmware ?

I have checked and I don't have any root access. I have told you why I actually want to change the firmware in some previous reply.
Here I am mentioning the whole problem again for your better knowledge.
Actually yesterday, I tried to add an edu mail account on google and it's showing that "Can't create a working profile", here is what error message I got.
I am running on stock official Firmware, I confirmed that as I got OTA update from Samsung for One UI. So I'm not using any custom OS.
But I don't know why it's showing that I am using a custom OS . That's why I want to shift from current firmware to USA region firmware to check whether the Japanese region firmware has issue or not.
But I am in a doubt as I don't have enough knowledge about switching from one region to another region firmware in Samsung devices.
I hope you can understand, though my English is not great
