Every stock firmware that i have dowload, doesnt work in ODIN. Flash FAILED why?
Pretty sure it's because things such as the baseband are specific to the model. I don't think you can flash N920I firmware onto a N920T, and vice-versa. I have a N920I but am able to use a N920T based ROM (while keeping the N920I firmware), but with a N920I based kernel.

Changing Tmob rom to a international version its possible (See thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/help/convert-t-mobile-to-international-t3069246) . Maybe I’m using the incorrect international version or Tmob bootloader is locked and I haven’t found the way to get into fastboot to unlock it.
That is for a galaxy s6. The note5 cannot have official stock firmware flashed from one model to another. e.g. n920t stock firmware will not be allowed by Odin to be flashed on the n920i. Now, a custom rom (like the Darthstalker rom) that is built off a specific variant's rom as a base can be flashed through custom recovery on most devices. I personally use darthstalker, a n920t based rom, on my n920i. The baseband cannot be touched unless it's from an official stock firmware that is specific to your device.

I have a Canadian variant with a different model number but I want to install firmware from tmobile which basically has the same specs, but when I do Odin flash I get fail messages. The only firmware that works is for my specific model N910W8.
How can I flash other country firmware? Anyone know how? I did it with my S5 so I'm confused. Thanks

It's not a question of another country's firmware but instead it's just a fact that
you should not and cannot odin flash a different model's firmware into your
phone no matter how similar the two models might be.
I cannot odin flash firmware from sammobile designed
for N910W8 into my N910T model either.
You are lucky that your odin flashing of N910T firmware simply failed,
it could have been a disaster since it could have easily bricked your phone.
Remember there is a BIG difference between firmware and roms...
They are NOT the same thing...
You will be able to flash some zip file roms which are designed for the N910T
successfully using twrp recovery but before you do I would strongly suggest to
do a lot of research before flashing anything so you don't wind up with a shiny
brick.
Good luck!

Appreciate your time for the answer! Thanks
I have the N9208 and I'm curios if I can flash the current stock firmware with T-Mobile firmware (BOH6) thru ODIN ?

My Tab S2 SM-T810 (wifi only) has latest Canadian firmware installed (5.1.1), can i update it to the latest firmware available on Sammobile? 6.0.1 is available but the pda and csc is different, ie different countries. If yes, how? I tried using odin - but it seems to get stuck on the bootloader screen and doesnt do anything.
Any help would be appreciated
yes you can flash a different region rom on your canadian firmware. i flashed MM uk version onto my canadian S2 SM-T710...
I have just got a pre-owned Tab S2 T817W which is a Canadian version from Bell Canada.
It has been unlocked and I can put in another carrier's SIM card and use it.
However, it is in stock 5.1.1 stock ROM and I want to upgrade to the latest Marshmallow.
My questions are:
1) If I flash the latest ROM from Bell for this T817W, will the ROM lock it back to Bell only?
2) Can I flash other carrier's ROM, eg T817A (for ATT) T817V (for Verizon) etc?
3) Do I need to root it before upgrading if i want to have root in Marshmallow?
(EDITed: I found the answers to the questions myself. I was able to download a Marshmallow firmware for Canada instead for Carrier specific from Sammobile. Everything works as I have wished for, it is still unlocked, fingerprint detection works better and the tab even runs faster.)
I've attempted to searched up the different kinds of firmware for this model phone and as far as I'm aware for the F series (international) versions of the S10 it is either for UK, Asia, or Europe
I have a Galaxy S10 G973F/DS and when I got it the stock firmware on it was G973FXXU1ASAT. Although reading further I've seen other firmwares ending in ASBA and ASC8.
I guess this means the Dual Sim model can only come from the asia model according to this chart

I've been attempting to add TWRP onto my phone using this guide and I've been having difficulty with it and I dont know if the firmware I downloaded is not compatible with it. So if anyone else has any suggestions on firmware I'd like to know.

ASAT, ASBA, ASC8 are all different releases of the Firmware.... They are released in order Alpha and Numerically, So ASAT is the Oldest you named and ASC8 is the Newest... The most important is that the Model and bootloader portion of the firmware name is correct. G973FXXU1.... Then you have to find THAT EXACT FIRMWARE for your Carrier. Which like I said is NOT the ASC8 part(thats just the firmware release). It will be identified with a CSC code like "XAA"
So, at the end, you want the G973FXXU1ASC8 (or newer now) Firmware for whatever carrier you have...
Today, I would flash G973FXXU3ASIG for whatever COUNTRY/Carrier you need...
