Can someone please help me find the proper firmware?! - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i went to the site samsungupdates.com, which is where i get all my stock roms, but there are too many options to choose from! i need the one im using now, as it has the languages i need, (im thinking of upgrading to a custom rom, but i want to be able to go back to my stock rom with a stock flash and a nandroid in case i dont like the other roms.)
so i have a screenshot of my current settings, can someone please tell me which is the one im using?!?!
what are the differences between these?

I guess differences between them is the three letter country code depending on country/carrier (CSC)

yeah, but on the site when you hold the mouse over the three letters a pop up tells you what region, and these all said n/a.

OK. What country are you in, and is the phone preloaded with carrier specific bloatware?
Take a look at sammobile.
Its easier to find out which one it is.

Hmm.. You're on stock ROM now right?
Dial *#1234# in phone. It should show you some info about pda, baseband and csc version.
Sent through time and space from my s3mini/CM11

I can assure you that the 19915/Galaxy_S_3_Mini_Latin/GT-I8190L/IUS/I8190LUBAMH1 version comes without carrier bloatware. It's from Iusacell (Mexico) and is the one I use when unroot and stuff.
Can't be sure for the others, though.
I don't really care about CSC anymore. ROMs work as they are supposed to, so no worries here.

Grab your region's version, then flash via Odin.
I find it easier to not flash the latest version, but to an older version (4.1.1) just to make it feel "Stock-ier".

I would say yes, here's the instructions...
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v.3.09
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes

Hmmm. Well it's not working for me. I also ran into this problem with 4.4.2... I couldn't Odin flash anything except the stock Canadian firmware. I was actually wondering if the Canadian model is slightly different. Model number is SM-T705W. Anybody know?

Yeah I've seen and tried those, they don't work. I'm not sure why, but the Canadian "W" version is not listed and never has been... It's been available in Canada for about 6 months now. If I can't flash a normal SM-T705 firmware, I'll probably sell the tablet and get a Nexus 9, because hell will freeze over before any of our Big 3 release an update...

Official Updates?

I used this method to update to Oreo early - http://drippler.com/drip/official-sa...pass-safetynet
do I have to downgrade back to stock firmware/os to be able to get updates normally or will it just update over this one?

Firmware.
As for the CSC youll need to find OUT what yours is
but it should work the same as the guide you followed...
GLW is the Canadian CSC from what I see here.
di you remember where you got the phone or who the providor was?
You see, on BB110 people made us exe files where you plug the phone in click and it's automated. Android seems to be a lot different. What is a CSC and GLW? I really have no clue. I know I shouldn't have done this if I wasn't ready for it, but, I wanted to have the latest stuff.
keeps logging me out everytime I try and download the firmware. YAY. Delays and setback piss me right off.
Figured out my issue, How do I flash this patch/file/whatever it is. Over the current one?
EDIT: # hours to download unless I fork over 20 dollars. YAY, MORE BLOODY WAITING.

I think that's where you enter CSC code but it's been a while since I used it. A quick search online should help. CSC is Consumer Software Customization, basically a folder in the software that controls/sets specific features and settings for your region/carrier.
No worries if you flashed different firmware that changed your model number. When you flash stock it will change it back. U.S. and Canada Note 8s are essentially the same at a hardware level.

Is there anywhere to download the entire FW package that was released in Scandinavia over the past couple days? Tizen 5.5, ECG etc.
Or, at least, is there a way to get my currently EU flashed watch to upgrade to this one by changing the csc?

Thanks, but that's for the r855f, does the different screen size not matter?
Also, it doesn't seem to be the scandinavian file, so while it has Europe in it, I can't choose Sweden and my sPay will still be Spanish..

Thanks, but that's the one I flashed already.
And apart from being super buggy (I've reflashed a couple times with varying results) it's also not the Nordic software. The 845 received a update just days ago in the Nordic countries where they seemingly made everything available, that's what I'm looking for.

OK, so I can just flash the 845 files I've already flashed but with a NEE csc and I should get the region I'm looking for? Cool. Any hints as to where I can grab the correct csc then?
