[Q] Intl Snapdragon Firmware Update on Tmo N4?

Instead of waiting on this firmware to be pushed to the Tmobile specific N4, is it possible to use the intl snapdragon firmware available on the sammobile site?
The international snapdragon variant is SM-N910F. The Tmobile variant is SM-N910T.
My battery life isn't horrendous. But its not what I was getting on my OnePlus or 6+. Before returning/waiting for Lollipop to be pushed, I just want to see if this firmware update will actually help.

Not possible to install a stock rom from a different variant. The only way you can install it, is that if you can cook it and make a custom rom out of it then install it via custom recovery(which is not yet available for tmobile)

Well damn. Thanks for the quick response though.
Guess I'll hold out for a few more days to see if it hits the Tmo variant.

Strangely enough, I have a German T-Mobile SM-N910F

I thought custom recovery was available. Don't we all have the ability to root or are developers using a different method?
Both devices are virtually identical, software being the exception.

through custom recovery prbly yes. You have to look in the custom roms section. But you cant install n910F rom through odin, it will simply fail to install

Sorry for necropost but... any differences between different variants hardware wise?
My previous phone was a Vodafone Xperia Z2, then I flashed a Generic/Unbranded Z2 rom without problems, and I even received OTA updates to the latter, like it was a Generic version. Isn't this possible on Samsung's?

sorry for bumping up a old thread but is it possible to flash this on my n910t?

Flash the rom, and use a tmo kernel, no problem. Go for it!

Hey my man, so the note 4 is backwards compatible like the note 3 was?? I used to be able to flash an international ROM (X-NOTE, my favorite)then flash BT/NFC FIX along with a T-Mobile kernel before first boot and it worked great!

Android 6.0 Galaxy S6 SM-G920T

hey!
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 SM.G920T on Best Buy a couple of months ago and i have it with an argentinian SIM.
i want to update the Software to 6.0 and i saw in Sammobile a 6.0 version. Here comes the problem, my firmare (G920TUEU3COK1) is from "cellular south" carrier and this version ( G920TUVU3EPD1) is from "USA/T-Mobile". I want to know if i install that firmware i can still use my argentinian sim? or i only can use the "cellular south" version?
My english is not perfect sorry
Thank you

Yes. Mine is from cellular south as well. You can flash it with t-mobile mm. and then flash this modem dropbox.com/s/fpkeyps54bzy2l6/modem.bin?dl=0 you should be able to use any carrier

difference note 9 korean version And other

hi, sorry if I did not have to write correctly. I wanted to know what kind of difference is there between the 9 korean version notes, the processor? has limitations, less functions, different startup logo etc. if you can list all the differences. thank you

the korean N960N has the same specs as the Fs.
so its a exynos chip and not a snapdragon.
this is my second Korean Note and have been extremely pleased.
no visual issues like some have reported on ither device.
Just flawless.
concerning logo( carrier stuff there are 3 or 4 carries in Korea so you are likely to get one of those.)
since i have rooted mine, i have rebranded csc to my sims carrier.
usually they ship region unlocked. When i buy from wondamobile,
seals is broken but it is probably to remove the lock. they make a 5 minute call to lift it.
these phones don't have the oem unlock vanishing issue either.

the Korean version has no snapdragon. Does the Samsung logo appear on the ignition? but do you need to change them to work with your operator? but does it have any restrictions with respect to others?

if i remember correctly, before i rooted and modified phone, it did have that carrier logo. but phone worked fine regardless. LTE and such was all working. Yes some carrier bloat in korean but that was to be expected. I root my phones so that was not an issue.
right now running Dr. ketan rom on canadian Rogers csc and all us working fine.

but does it also work in other regions? are there any preinstalled apps? Ke stock European firmware, not Korean can you flash?

odin probably won't let you.
if you root/twrp, then flashing a custom firmware/ rom will be possible

man, i just bought the used korean version. but i didnt have the confidence to flash it because im afraid it will be locked down or some bad thingy will happen to it. if you flash custom rom will it get the automatic updates?

like any rooted device OTA will stop working. you will have to manualy downlaod firmwares to keep it up to date.
right now Pies official build has arrived for N960N devices for 1 or 2 weeks now.

Flashing T-Mobile Firmware to Unlocked Version S10e

So I'm planning to buy an unlocked S10e from Samsung's official site, but I've heard that on the unlocked versions you get slowest updates, no RCS, no wifi calling, nor VOLTE. I've used Andriod for years but I've never used any other samsung product besides my Galaxy S3. I've heard you can flash firmware but I needed some questions answered. Would this break anything like knox? Would I get updates normally ? besides bloat any problems with doing this ?

No, unless you like using mobile hotspot for free (if that's still a thing on the unlocked firmware).
Ak7J4 said:

Yes, you will receive updates from whichever firmware provider you install. If you have Samsung's unlocked then you'll get it directly from Samsung and if you flash T-Mobile, for example, then you will receive updates from T-Mobile in the future.

Other than possibly having to pay to use mobile hotspot, as addressed above, I don't believe you could introduce any other issues not mentioned.

Thank you. This is really helpful. I believe that the hotspot should be free on T-Mobile ? (My LG V20 can use it free). Also do you have a guide for flashing the T-mobile firmware ?

At&t is only carrier where wifi calling and Volte won't work for unlicked units. It has to do with the imei.

Can i flash the sm-g977b firmware onto the sm-g977n device?

Hey 5G Pioneers,
I am wondering can I flash the sm-g 977b firmware onto the sm-g 977n device through the Odin? Did someone make it?
Since these two models are all using the same Exynos 9820 chips
And from my previous experience of using my galaxy s8, Samsung actually enabled me to flash the firmware in different regions only if the devices were using the same chip version.
I am currently in Australia. The Korean version of 977N is much cheaper, and it seems that is the only network unlock version that I could buy from the market.

Not sure where are you in Australia but I bought mine from a Telstra Sales Rep (based in CBD, Melbourne) where he got a discount code and gave its to me for AUD 1400 for the 512 GB Majestic Black Version, unlocked , I'm using Optus, VoLTE, VoWIFI works fine on it.

Hi everybody,
On Sammobile website, I found 4 firmware Korean variants. I tried getting more information on the "KOO" variant to see if its a stock Samsung firmware without Carrier Apps/Bloatware without luck. I couldn't get any detailed information whether it can be flashed over any other Korean variant. Can anyone here clarify if its possible and If yes provide further details?
Attached a snapshot.
Many thanks

That is the non bloatware Korean version but it doesn't allow me to flash it. I suspect you have to flash it with the userdata file also.

Thanks for the information,
I have a new phone so No issues with user data. How do I flash the firmware.

Hi,
I have successfully flashed the "KOO" variant once with and a second time without "userdata", however that did NOT remove any of the Bloatware/Carrier Apps.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I disable the 3 apps then hide them from the app drawer.

Hi,
I did disable the apps which is great, but there menu operator items as well!
Edit : Forgot to mention that the boot logo is of the operator as well.

I was researching something about using the PIT file along with the firmware but can't find the specific PIT file for S10 5g.

Use Odin or the modified version to flash combination firmware. Then flash your desired firmware.
This is the only way I am aware to remove all carrier bloatware and boot logos.

Dual SIM

I am particularly interested in this as the 977N variant seems to be dual sim. I notice it also has additional bands to the 977B varient and I would like to put the telstra firmware to ensure operation of VoLTE VoWiFi RCS etc.
The main purpose is to use at home and overseas. So more bands and access to features (VoLTE, VoWiFI, RCS etc. on my telstra SIM and local overseas SIM) when overseas are the goal.
Unless someone can confirm that the 977N with vanilla firmware will support all the telstra features?
Thank you for your assistance
