[Q] NEED ADVICE on flashing stock roms

I have an Orange branded phone. Its build number is GINGERBREAD.BVJVC. I heard that you could only flash stock roms that is from the same region. Apparently Europe is XXJV(one more random letter). But mine starts with BV. is this because it is Orange's rom? Or does this not matter and can i flash with any rom including branded ones even with a different firmware (basically different everything).

On the site sammobile(.)com can find your correct branded firmware.

thank alot

Sammobile firmware flashing questions

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!

Has anyone tried flashing the N9208 model with another carrier firmware?

I have the N9208 and I'm curios if I can flash the current stock firmware with T-Mobile firmware (BOH6) thru ODIN ?

Flashing Factory Unlocked Firmware Possible?

Hi, I'm coming to you guys with another question. Being that we cannot downgrade the S6 edge from 5.1.1 would it be possible to flash the International variant firmware onto G925A? I'm trying to possibly get root and and flash a new rom but it's not looking likely anytime soon.

no no no

KNOX - Flashing different region ROM

Hi, I want to flash a ROM from a different region on my Note 9. Will Knox be tripped if I use Odin to flash a stock ROM from sammobile?
I know Samsung's have either the Exynos or the Snapdragon chipset and it's not possible to flash a Snapdragon firmware on a Exynos phone.
However, I have an Exynos Note 9 (SM-N960F) and I'm planning to flash another stock Exynos ROM from a different region (also model SM-N960F).
My question is, will Knox be tripped if I use Odin to flash a different region, stock ROM from sammobile?

Knox won't trip if only flash original different firmware

Has anyone tried it?
