Can I flash a different region firmware on my international note?

I have a galaxy note with italian baseband. My question is can I flash it with another region's firmware (asian firmware)?

Yes you can!

Yes.You can always flash any region firmwares on your phone.But the firmware should belong to your phone model.i.e N-7000 firmwares on N-7000,and I-917 firmwares on I-917.Which means firmwares are devices specific and not region specific
If you cant understand any of the above,the exact answer for your question is yes you can

would this affect my warranty? & flash count? and another question could i directly flash with an older firmware, im currently on 2.3.6 i was wondering if i could flash 2.3.5?

1.It wont affect warrant as long as you are in stock firmware.But if you have a network locked device I'm not sure because I have no network locked device in my region.If you have international unlocked note,you are 100% covered by warranty as long as its stock
2.Stock roms dont increase counter.Only custom roms do
3.You can flash any GB rom when you are in GB(to make it simple IMO)

Does this also apply to other devices?
That it is possible to use different firmwares.
(in this particular case LG optimus black p970)

Yup

Yes you can. You can us Odin for PC to do it. Do some searching on the n7000 forums and you will find all the necessary files and flashing tools.
I recommend checking out this excellent thread by Dr. Ketan http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
It explains everything in detail so you should be good to go if you read through it properly.
Hope this helped and good luck!

Marshmallow update for SM-G928I
Hi guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ (SM-G928I). However, I still didn't get marshmallow update for this phone. Can I flash this phone with a different model firmware? Such as SM-G928F or SM-G928C?

[GT-I9505G][Leaked Firmware] I9505GUEUBMFP (4.3) - U.S.A (XAR) [28-06-13

Earlier this week, Google announced the Google Play Edition of the Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505G). Yesterday, we received a HUGE tip in our mailbox. So first of all, Special thanks to this secret tipper. The Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition is exactly the same device as the standard Galaxy S4 at the hardware level. The big difference is of course Google's own Android Interface! Today we proudly present you the first firmware for the Galaxy S4 Google Edition. With this firmware developers could create easy custom roms for the Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505). Our firmware is completely STOCK which means we didn't change anything! This firmware is based on Android 4.3! Google still needs to announce Android 4.3 but we expect this Android version to be unveiled by Google, soon. Android 4.3 is a minor update from Android 4.2.2.
Do NOT flash this firmware on your Galaxy S4!
Our advice is not to flash this firmware on your standard Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505/GT-I9500) as you might brick your device. Please check forums like xda-developers.com first. We tried to flash the firmware on our own Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505), but you simply can't flash your Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) through odin as the bootloader won't let you. This is the reason why we made a CUSTOM ROM for all GT-I9505 users. For now, this firmware is only a gift for developers!
We hope all Galaxy S4 developers are happy with our gift. Enjoy!
REMEMBER DO NOT FLASH YOUR GALAXY S4 (GT-I9505/GT-I9500) WITH THIS FIRMWARE!

So you can't flash this with Odin or you can? I'm confused after reading the comments.

Theoretically it should be able to flash on an i9505 considering the hardware is identical?

Follow part A of this guide. Download any software customization from Sony & create an FTF with Flashtool and change your customisation version to 1270-6188.
Then connect your phone to your PC and the update should be available.
Note : It will be the generic CH (Swiss) version you receive, but the software does not vary from region to region anyway, only included apps.

If you flash a branded firmware you will get some more apps which you probably don't need. So if you flash one, flash a generic firmware

You can download with changing the customization number your old firmware(that method which kingvortex posted). There are 2 links, 1 with customization numbers and the other is this what kingvortex give you. Give a look on it.

If you root your phone and install the Recovery, you can make a Nand backup. This is a Backup of the full system.
You loose warranty if you unlock your bootloader. But here you flash just an other original SONY firmware, for this you don't need to unlock your bootloader and that means you won't loose warranty.

you can flash the ROM for Taiwan version of 9208, which has the italino. it's also official ROM so you can directly flash it.

Actually from what I read so far the modem of SM-N9208 Malaysia and Taiwan are different so cannot flash directly as is. It said that only system and cache image can be transferred over.
Actually I want to do the opposite from Taiwan to Malaysia but haven't done it because I don't have spare phone now in case it breaks.

No I can't. That was RomBox's suggestion. Look around the forum and use the search feature. This question has been asked before, and there is a thread for the 9208 in General.

Downgrade From Official MM to Kitkat

First I am not responsible for anything you do with your device!
so, for me MM is not stable enought at the moment and lets admit it - Kitkat was the best Version of Android (in my opinion) in terms of battery and stuff So I have managed to downgrade from MM to KK safely:
1. First backup all of your stuff
2. Download NJ4 BL and Modem:
http://www39.zippyshare.com/v/25026978/file.html - BL
http://www5.zippyshare.com/v/82779967/file.html - Modem
3. Download 4.4.4 Kitkat ILO ANJ4 forum here :
https://mega.co.nz/#!OgAj1TgK!viW6jeo8juTkGyTWdL11KQ53p0bs0f9BsBqLLaAOy5I
First, Flash the BL and the Modem, after that reboot to download mode again, Flash the firmware, after you flash the firmware, reboot to recovery - Wipe Factory Reset and Cache
Reboot and Enjoy KK,
last thing, the update manager will advise you to update to ANK5 - do it
after that do not update to lollipop and you are good to go
BTW I have 2 bugs on this version:
1. TouchWiz has stopped working
2. MultiTasking is slower

Just tried (of course don't flash the files from op, they're for 910F) and doesn't work (I have ank5 bl and modem) cause from coj5 samsung changed bootloader things that block downgrade to lower-than-coj5 roms.

I tried this method and 4files downgrade with pit file. All failed!!! I think its impossible to downgrade to 4.4.4

Try to downgrade first to 5.1.1 lollipop(cpc6) and again to 4.4.4 kitkat (ank4) and the same csc,not diferent.

Can anyone point to 5.1.1 file as well ? I also would like to downgrade ?

910h use exynos so I doubt you can downgrade ... 910h basically same as 910c except no 4G support?

I needed to repartion with a pit file to resize the partition from 16 to 8 gb. Otherwise I couldn't downgrade to KK.
Untill now I have amazing longer batterylife then I had with LP or MM.
For who is needing the pit file, I attached it to this post.
