I know the firmware is region based what is the best way to make sure i know where my S3 came from.
I'm in the US and bought it on amazon. Are the numbers behind the battery region based?

You could check on the box. It should be something like I9300RWDXXX where XXX is the CSC and you can look it up. Hooking up the phone to KIES will also show the CSC in brackets. Thats another way to find out.

You could also install Samsung Galaxy S / S2 CSC app from PLAY and it will give you the (XXX) code.
Hey guys,
I live in New Zealand and recently bought a black s3 several weeks ago from a parallel importer as the shops here only sell pebble blue and white.
As it is imported how can i find out which country code software I should be using.
I received several device manuals and one was in Croatian, but there are other language manuals in the box too.
In kies my firmware version has a "(SEE)" at the end of it. eg. ends with "CSC:LK4 (SEE)"
Please help somebody

Awesome cheers for that!
Do note however, this only shows what firmware is on your phone right now. It is not necessarily the original. Give me your phone for a minute and I can make it say various different places, including NZ.
It makes no difference what country your phone is originally from mate.
Just go to Sam Mobile and download the latest Official NZ firmware and flash with Odin. Then it'll be exactly the same as any phone you buy over the counter from Vodafone/Telecom NZ.

The 965U is the carrier varient which comes with bloat.

Thanks for the response... This it the website that helped to cause my confusion if you look on the list you notice they list the the 965u and 965u1 as both unlocked and carrier free.

U1 is carrier unlocked, s9+ w/SD processor. Sadly, the BL is still locked, however
My sister bought me a Samsung Galaxy S9+ for my birthday but because she lives in America and I live in the UK I'm having issues with certain apps, especially Samsung Pay which won't allow me to use it as it only recognises me as being in America due to the Firmware restrictions, I can sign in fine, my account is registered in the UK but as I said, it's the Firmware restrictions so I can't use it at all.
I'm hoping someone knows if it's possible for me to replace the USA Firmware with a UK Firmware version? It's caused a lot of havoc in many different ways for me but I cherish the phone since it was a birthday present from the sweetest sister ever! ?? ♥
Congratulations on your new phone from your sister! Unfortunately if the model# is G965U or G965U1, you will be limited to US firmwares. The global model has a different processor and the firmwares are incompatible.

Thanks, I had a feeling it would be bad news but that's worse because it actually is an SM-G965U1 ?
She also sent me another phone, it's a BLU ENERGY XL, the OS is terrible on it, I don't suppose you have any recommendations for a firmware I can install via the SD Card on that do you? ??
Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it ??

You're welcome, but sorry for that news. I can't think of any other options for Samsung Pay either, since the US model doesn't currently have a root method. As for the BLU ENERGY, I don't know anything about it so the best I can recommend is look it up in the forums here on XDA, or maybe another similar site? Good luck!
Big thanks to @123qwe, we finally have the Beta 2 link for the S22+ (S906B) EUX CSC

There is, in Germany. It's out for the S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra since August 5th
I've read from one guy from Germany who had it installed on his S906B S22+, but he forgot to capture the link

Yes in Germany they use EUX CSC, I also have that CSC here in the Netherlands. But no beta program here yet in the Netherlands.
So I'm asking someone from Germany who can capture the download link, so that everyone with the EUX CSC can install it...

I think your phone must be purchased in Germany. Or at least have a German Samsung account (with German mobile phone number), then you will see the beta program in the Samsung members app I think
I will donate €10 (to his PayPal) to the first one who posts the S22+ Exynos (S906B) update.zip link
I am looking for it as well but nah , i think we won't enjoy beta on Galaxy S22 plus this year

Maybe if Samsung releases a second beta that someone will capture the link
I will try to catch the update, even if I'm not from germany I will do my best
Is the samsung account need to be from german or just the ip?

I've already tried with a German vpn, but the beta program didn't show up. I've also tried to create a German Samsung account with a German temporary sms number from the internet, but that also didn't work. So I don't know how you can get the German beta program to show up...
Tried with German VPN, German account created from german number, and a german fake location
Even the system language is in "English (Germany)"
But nothing shows up
And even worse, Samsung Members app is in french..
I really hope some how they release it for UK in the next days and some one catches it , i tried all things aswell but nah no luck , this is 1 sign that samsung didn't sell a lot of s22 + phones

Yeah I had the same. I think your S22 must be purchased in Germany or something
So, guess we are unlucky to have the Plus...
Its been 1 week and still Samsung discriminates S22+ users HATEEEE THIS , Apple is much much better ,you can install ios 16 on any iPhone in 5 minutes
