Hello. I'm little confused by how much fold4 models available on market. This post gives a description of some of available models but I really don't know what version is more suitable for me. Is there any difference between all rootable versions like SM-F936B EUX, SM-F936N and SM-F936B(/DS)?
I want to buy a device without any disabled features or mobile carrier locking. I tried to google for differences between these models but haven't find something. Can you please tell me what is the deference between these models of the same phone?
Also, should I take device AP, CP and CSC into account while choosing device to buy? Could it affect available device features?
Thank you in advance.
I Don't know it eather (otherwise the thread you mentionted would be more clear).

You can download firmware for diffirent models on samfw.com
Search for SM-F936, choose one from the list and you can see from which country they are.
I think the biggest diffirence is from which region they are.
In this thread you can see that the F936N will lock the camera if unlocking the bootloader.

Different region models... U/U1 are generallry US models,
W seem to be Canadian, N is Korean(I think, sorry Covid brain and low oxygen while writing this) and then the B and B/DS models are global with the DS being the dual sim version...
Alll models are then fed other conditions of use by the CSC. Some countries allow recording of calls while others don't, this will be setup by the CSC.
In all honesty, the B model is probably the easiest to find ROMs for as they tend to use OXM ROMS and you can us another countries ROM instead of waiting for anything to come to yours, especially good for where I live in Australia as we don't tend to get things fast. If you don't like the ROM you are using its easy to change to another countries ROM.
The W, U/U1 and N ROMS are region specific and depending how Samsung decides to do updates have to wait until region specific versions of ROM's are available.
Hope this helps...
Sorry, forgot to add, region models CAN'T flash any other region ROMs... You can't flash a W rom on a B, N or U/U1 model and vice versa and any other way you might want to try.. Best case the ROM won't flash, worst case you end up with a brick (if you somehow force the flash)...
Just an update that the U/U1 and W versions are often the exact same phone with some bands disabled for the US/Canada regions. People have flashed U/U1 ROMs successfully on the W and I've just gone the other way around. Straightforward flash and works without issues so far. Will update if something comes up.
Do the dual sim models have actual hardware differences? Other than the sim tray itself? Like can I use a dual sim tray in a single sim phone if I flash different software onto it?

Hi Guys
I bought the galaxy s6 G920P used from eBay and have ran into troubles after rooting it.
See my other thread which i accidentally posted in General Q&A, May be i can get some better answers here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/help-samsung-g920p-root-t3289569
So basically now I have a device thats running stock rooted ROM, but I Cant get 4g to work. I have made sure the APN settings are correct from my provider. Also after a restart, the device takes about 2-3 minutes to pick up any cell signal.
My main question is that when I got my device it was not rooted, and everything was working fine ( I did not have to manually enter my career's APN settings and I had 4g data). Also there was no traces about the "sprint" on my device, no splash screen or anything.
Anyone has any idea which ROM the device could originally be on? Is there any stock non-sprint version of android 5.1.1 for G920P?
Thanks in advance and sorry about the noob questions ( Biggest mistake is I should have made a backup of original ROM)
No one ?

How did you root it? Also, you may need to unlock it.
Make sure to check your carriers bands with the ones the phone supports:

You should beable to find the support bands on your carriers website, you may also be able to call a store.
I have this phone from Sprint and of course there is always the splash screen and the annoying sprint apps. If this screen wasn't there if may have been a custom ROM although you would have seen the red text about the system when booting. Although it wasn't really possible in the past (due to CDMA and carrier locks), it is possible with the s6 to bring this device from other US carriers to sprint (http://www.sprint.com/landings/bring-your-own-phone/). I am not sure if you are basing the model based on the fact that it said Sprint or if you are certain that was the actual model (I believe the model number is also sometimes changes by some ROMs).
From my understanding you now have the stock sprint ROM with the sprint screen and annoying apps? I don't believe there is a "Stock" version for this model. U.S. carriers love to put their annoying junk on phones and generally have plans to lease or pay extra per month to subsidize the cost of the phone.
You could check this thread out and maybe it would help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...de-success-sim-unlock-sprint-samsung-t3130294
If not maybe trying another ROM would be a good option especially since you are outside of the U.S. You may even be able to use this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423 since you don't need sprint radio support (this is a risk since the model is not officially supported, but may be worthwhile).
I know it is to late.....Espacially the latest OTA N920AUCU3CPHA has been released...
But people outside US can flash this firmwork and use OTA package to keep ATT Note5 at latest model...
Mega: https://mega.nz/#!oFIRXJ6J!A9iUa8eyHEvwPrD531ECmjLobeC_d7YOVaRTChN0gNE
PS: As you all know,Chinese offical limits my network to connecting XDA, so I coundn't answer your question immediately. What more, all of my full odin packages are downloaded at http://romup.com/ ,but it is not for free. Everybody can search ROMs by phone model in the searching box(with VPN to China).
The method can consult http://forum.xda-developers.com/att.../n920a-mm-odin-package-n920aucu2bpe6-t3415938 , Odin up on 3.12.4. And this firmwork don't Contain Pit files. Just flash first four files and waiting five minutes...

Hi, can i update from an unlocked AT&T N920AUCU2APB2 directly to this using Odin? Will that cause any issues?
hey guys, not trying to hijack the thread but i have a USCellular Note 5 which is unlocked and everything works but MMS and 4G is flakey, usually bouncing between 4G and H and H+ (on the signal)
i dont feel data speeds suffer but speed tests show it so fear signal reception could be different that an AT&T note 5.
anyways, does anyone know if it is possible to odin flash this rom into my USCellular phone and make it run properly on AT&T.
the NOTE 5 is of course unlocked and when looked at the specs is only missing 2 cellular bands and has more bands in 3G than the AT&T variant.
anyone have a clue, i would not like to brick this phone beyond repair but am willing to flash it with an AT&T rom if that will fix it.
the APN's area ll correct, but i did install KIK messaging and when setting MMS to manual APN it immediately came up with a uscellular APN which really makes me believe somewhere in the phone its still holding a USCellular APN and not using the AT&T one even though it is set in the Network settings of the phone.
My Z2 force software channel is Sprint, sim of all carriers work. It doesn't have any sprint bloatware . It is stuck on Android 7.1.1 with Sep, 2017 security patch. Upon checking for update it says its up to date. I just want to update my android to latest version (stock rom only) with the latest security patch released. Would appreciate if someone could provide me the rom and update and also give some guidance. My bootloader is unlocked.

Just use Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant, guy (of course Motorola and Google driver installed). It's the easiest method to get newest Oreo.
Or go to Development or Guide thread and search the firmware for Sprint variant.

Ok, since LMSA didn't support my device for flashing, I'll be flashing the rom myself.
Would highly appreciate if you could just answer these questions.
1) What happens if use a sprint rom for a differnt SKU (not for XT1789-03)
2) Will I get sprint bloatware with the rom update. (Currently, I have none)
3) Currently I am using my country's sim/carrier. Will this update lock my sim to sprint or create network problems?
1. It can cause problems or not. This depends on variant or ROM: Sprint single sim can be flashed the Retail dual sim ROM (with bootloader unlocked); you may flash a Verizon (or ATT) ROM to your unlocked bootloader Retail one but you can not do versa.
2. Variant stock fw will have some bloatwares (more or less). Retail seems having no bloatware. I dont know about other variant (T-mobile, US cellular...).
3. If your phone is carrier unlocked one (like my ATT), flashing fw causes no problem. I have heard someone had some issues one 4G or else, but my Sprint one (the dead one) had no problem.
Good luck!

I successfully updated to stock android 8.0(retail version) with zero issues. I followed this guide's Part E
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/how-to/guides-bootloader-twrp-custom-roms-root-t3805737
You can either go for sprint stock ROM or Retail ROM.
Do i have to unlock my bootloader and do i need to root my mobile?

I changed to KOO without modified rom. But 5g does not work outside korea due to carrier restrictions. Maybe in future can be solved.

pls can someone help me with where I can find sm-n976f firmware
So I bought a oneplus 9 pro from a dude yesterday for 500 bucks which is an absolute steal. I unfortunately however have the Indian version of the software (Oxygen OS 11.2.10.10.LE15DA)(Model: LE2120) so none of my 5g bands are working, which is the main reason I upgraded.
1.) Yes I know there's a very popular forum about how to flash the global version of oxygenOS but the thread gets posted in and updated constantly with different info from different people so it's harder to follow.
I need the following:
1.) Previous IN Oxygen build to downgrade.
2.) Current Global OxygenOS Version to upgrade.
I know doing this can wipe your data but the phone is a day old so I don't have any data. I can easily switch IMEI numbers through TMobile app as well so I'm not worried about that changing if it does. I just want the correct versions of the ROMS so I don't up/downgrade to the wrong versions and critically mess it up. Any help is appreciated and thank you!
If I'm incorrect with any of the information I provided please correct me as well. I truly appreciate any information on this topic!
Can you post your phone info, I got my from clicking on settings>about phone
I know you already mentioned it in the text, but a picture would help.

Flashing a global/europe firmware wont fix your 5G. You need to do some extra step and need to be rooted to get the 5G back. And 2120 it's Chinese version which comes with Color OS as primary but sellers found a way to flash Indian firmware there and flashed and sold the phone.
Below you will find LE15DA Indian downgrade to 11.2.5.5 link: https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OnePlu...110_all_2107082121_downgrade_66a1f653e8ee4eb5
Downgrade to this and then install European firmware but wont get back 5G anyway try.
