Hi
I have a SM-G920S (SKtelecom) is it possible to change the firmware to made the unit think it is a SM-G920F model.
thanks
Hi
I am looking for the same answer.
I'm getting SM-G920S 64GB soon later this week. Can I flash SM-920S with SM-920F stock firmware?
Kind of away from Samsung devices since GS4.
I am living outside South Korea and I don't need those bloat on my phone.

Same problem here, i don't like the boot logo . Looking for answers if it could change with the Samsung logo
Nop different models, you only can flash a 920F to a 925F if you try to flash a 920F ROM on a 920S you most likely brick your phone

Hello everyone,
I'd like to find out, if you can help me, the following information about my Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 GT-I9205:
I am from Brazil and I have recently bought this phone in the UK on a business trip at Heathrow Airport. It was not a carrier shop, just a regular electronics shop. The phone is unlocked and working normally with my Brazilian carrier.
My questions are:
a) With the recent releases of KiKat 4.4.2 in Russia and USA for the Galaxy Mega, is there a way for me to find out (through IMEI or model number) if my phone is associated with a carrier? There was no information about it when I bought it and I just wonder if the release of KiKat for my device will depend upon this associated carrier (if there is one) for me to have it.
b) My version of the Galaxy Mega is the LTE version (GT-I9205) as opposed to the other international version (GT-I9200) and also different model number from the American one. I was thunking about trying one of the custom ROMs for the Mega but, as far as I know, the KitKat update is only related to the GT-I9200 model. Would that pose any problems if I tried to use a ROM on a different device model?
Thanks for your help!
Hi if you brought it unlocked in UK I prrseume from Dixon's travel or similar then its not associated with any carrier at all. If you flashed a ROM for the i9200 on the i9205 you would loose LTE. If you are on stock ROM you could just flash the latest from Sammy mobile be mindful of Samsung Knox. Otherwise you could flash a custom rom . I have to say for this phone and its lack of memory I moved to resurrection remix which is feature full stable and fast.

Thanks for the reply! I figured the phone was unbranded and yes, I did buy it at Dixon's Travel!
The only thing I wonder now is we have seen all these carriers releasing KitKat for the Mega, how will it reach unbranded phones - will it take longer or Samsung will release accordingly with the carriers? Just a general wondering.
hi guys, just bought the s6 edge and was wondering which variant the g925L is compatible with? is it the same as the g925F in terms of ROMs and such? im actually tempted in flashing a different stock firmware because i dont like the stock korean apps, will it be okay to do that? thank you
+1 for this
anyone? can i root?
Dear @awitee
1)In case of flashing you can flash it with different country but it must be for your model (in case you dont wont to trip knox and use samsung pay)
2)still no root from chainfire fro your model.
Regards

Hi thanks for the reply.
So does that mean i cant flash the stock G925F firmware on my G925L model? what will happen if i do?
simple, you'll get bootloop that stays pretty much on the Samsung start logo. Or maybe even nothing at all. You could be directed to Download Mode and it could say update fail, please try to update again. This can all be solved by flashing the designated firmware meant for your phone model. So it's basically a soft brick. No biggie. I won't suggest you try to flash a different model-firmware on your phone. But if you're keen in seeing the results, please go ahead. Just make sure you have your model-specific firmware somewhere, and the non-model-specific firmware that you want to try out (obviously).
*coming from experience downloading and flashing the wrong model-firmware
Hi,
Just one question. I'm thinking of buying the s6 edge but just wondering what the actual difference between the two models are i.e. G925F and G925I.
Also, if I buy the G925F model, would I be able to flash the firmware for a G925I. I'm asking because they both have the same internals and, as far as I know, they're both identical except for those model numbers.
Sorry if this is a simple question; I'm relatively new to all this.
Thanks in advance!

I'd like to know this too. I have a G925F and would like to flash the G925I firmware in it. Can it be done ?
In pratice is the same, but I version have Brazil settings, and Brazil to hexa goes now...
I flashed roms in vce-versa versions... didnt change, just VolLTE in some cases (because CSC)
The only difference between these 2 models is that they support different radio frequencies
no hexa for us... this time
I bought and unlocked Galaxy S7 to get service on Tmobile network and the phone works fine but is an AT&T phone with
all the accompanying bloatware. I am in a bad cellular area for tmobile and depend on wifi calling as the signal is very weak.
The wifi calling on my purchased phone is grayed out which i found out through forums that AT&T has something to do with this.
I decided to root my phone and load firmware to Tmobile but have only found the process and firmware SM-G930T and not SM-G891T. The phone currently has SM-G891A, which is AT&T 's firmware. Baseband version G891AUCS4DRK1. I haven't been to find the right firmware for my phone. Can anyone help me? Thanks

Are you sure you didn't confuse device version with firmware version? SM-G891A
Is not a firmware, it's your phone model, which is of course galaxy S7.
But anyway, there is not Tmobile firmware for that model. Only 930T as you said.maybe could be possible to port the rom.
Can I use the firmware for the sm-g930t on the sm- g891a

I wouldn't recommend to flash it yet. Processors should be the same, as well as the screen size,for flash a different rom.

All the components are the same except for the battery size, hardened case and shatter proof screen

If battery isn't the same, power consumption could burn the phone.
Hello, I'm newbie and I just want to ask if I can flash another Firmware on my device, I'm currently on PH where s21 being sold here is SM-G991B (CSC: XTC). I want to remove the bloatwares and some samsung apps are still on Korean Language. I'm using an SM-G991N Model with LUC CSC. If possibly, I want to change it to XTC CSC, I already tried using Samkey but it failed. Should I flash the whole firmware SM-G991B on my device? It's same processor as my Korean Variant phone which is Exynos.
Hope anyone can help me. Thank you!
You will trip Knox if you try that.

It there any other way? coz Korean variant updates takes so long. OTA/Smart Switch I still don't receive the latest security updates.
Not as far as I know... Unless you want to use a custom ROM.
