Hello there.
I have a SM-925I from Brazil, but I realized that this variant exists in other countries... My question is, if I change the original rom for a rom from another country, but from the same model (SM-g925I) will it trip my knox? Will i miss my warranty?
I want to install lollipop 5.1.1
Thank You
If you're going to venture into ROM changing, forget about warranty

Well, i think i'll wait then... too expensive in Brazil to lose warranty.
Thanks, man.

Just root and be careful. I've rooted every device I've owned and don't care about warranty. If you're careful then you are good. Checkout ping pong root. It roots without warranty.

The only 5.1.1 version for the 925I are from the Indian version and it seems that Samsung has since held back a little with releasing it for other CSCs.
There have been a few reports of people flashing the 5.1.1 version on their 925I phones on Australia and no longer getting good 4g speeds. I'm going to wait until the Australian version of the update is released.
Having said that, if the firmware you want to flash is stock firmware produced by Samsung and is compatible with your phone variant (I.e a 925I stock firmware) regardless of CSC then flashing it via Odin should not trip Knox and should not interfere with your warranty. A couple of people here or there have stated that they've tried Knox this way but the majority (including me) have been fine.
You'll need to factory reset following changing to a different CSC if you want to receive over the air updates.
My suggestion? Wait for the Brazilian update. As for rooting, apart from blocking ads I've not missed having root at all.

I've got an unlocked I9100 running the official 4.0.4 rom on EE in the UK. I've read that the jelly bean update is now available, but the OTA update never seems to find anything for me. I've tried installing Kies, but for whatever reason, it just wont detect my phone....
So my question is this. Is there a way for me to install the update using Odin without having to root my phone? The reason I ask is that I have banking applications that refuse to run once the phone is rooted.
Thanks in advance!

Flashing with Odin does not require root. It never has.

The barclays app detects root access and wont start if it finds root. There are probably ways around it, but it was a pain getting the thing working in the first place!

Hey, I was in the same position as you.
I was on stock unbranded UK ROM, I downloaded official Spain JB. Used ODIN and flashed over my phone with no wipe.
Phone booted up fine with all my data. Phone still remins unrooted

All you need to do is use SU to block the app from gaining root privileges.
Just flash JB using ODIN, reboot into download mode again and flash Siyah kernel v6 beta4.
The kernel will give you root, cwm, cwm manager and SU. Whenever a app tries to access root you will have a option to allow or block.

Can I update to my region's version through Kies when I have the Spanish version?
Also I would like to know that will my phone have warranty after that? I'm sure I would drop it the next day after I lost the warranty.

Root: Voids warranty.
Flash: voids warranty.
Kies: Sees your firmware (e.g Spain) and will only look for that firmware' (Spain) updates.

So flashing to an official firmware will void my warranty?
yeap, as long as it's not from your region country (unbranded) or your carrier branded ROM (locked & branded).
If you have an unbranded, unlocked phone and you are from SPAIN, you are all good.
If not, you've modified your device against your warranty's advice.
You can also make a back up of your current ROM in case you have to claim warranty.

But will it trip the flash counter and will I get the warranty back when my region's version finally comes out and I flash it?
You can remove that triangle and your binary counter with triangle away.
Official ROMs won't cause any of that because they are samsungs officials.
And yes, as I said, you can flash your country / region / carrier ROM in the future and everything will look legit.
Warranty will try to see if you messed with your device in any kind, you just need to prove you didn't.

This is the last dumb question, I promise: can I update from full stock 4.0.4 to the Spanish version without a full wipe and will I be able to flash my region's version without a wipe when it comes out + have everything look 100% legit?
lol, brick bug got you scared there huh?
Yeah, you could do that. Wipes aren't mandatory but they do help sometimes.
Take a couple of days reading threads in this section, 4.0.4 related.
This way you'll cone across some stories and you can learn about what-to-do & what not-to-do.

Actually no, I just don't feel like I want to reinstall everything because I can't do a proper backup since I don't want to root.
So let me recap this: I can flash the Spanish version without a full wipe, keep all my apps and data, flash the Nordic version when it comes available, still keep my apps and warranty without tripping the flash counter and receive official updates to the Nordic version through Kies.
Correct me if I am wrong.
EDIT: Oh, and by the way, I seem to have a sane chip

When nordic update rolls out you will have to flash it with odin, and only then you can update thru kies/ota.
If you flash ls8 you'll only get spain updates via kies/ota.
The easier way for you to get the right ROM for you is to back up your current ROM. When your country / region / carrier starts rolling the update you can restore thar ROM and update it via kies/ota.
Is your device unbranded or carrier branded?

Unbranded. So if I flash the nordic version on top of the Spanish one (with Odin ) I don't have to wipe at all at any point and my warranty will stay + I can then update the nordic version through kies (if this isn't the last update)
Your warranty will be voided as long as you are on ls8. After you flash your country/region ROM, warranty will resume.
LS8 is FROM spain FOR spain. If your device isn't from spain, there's no way you can get ls8 thru proper channels. That is what warranty is all about.

Hi folks!
Getting my S6 Edge on Monday the 13th.
My phone will be delivered with carrier branding - boot animations and added bloatware.
Since SammMobile released the official firmwares, i wanted to know if any of those firmwares can help me "de-brand" my phone (install stock Samsung rom)
Anyone know what does "Country/Carrier - Unknown" - means?
I cannot post any links yet
I would also be interested in this as my phone has come full of Three bloat ware and boot animations. I would much rather have a stock rom. Plus it does not have the A-Z option in the launcher for apps.

As far as I'm aware you can flash the BTU firmware (stock, no branding) using Odin
Firmware can be obtained from Sammobile
And I've been told this can be done without tripping Knox

This is also a concern - i don't want to trip Knox a this point. Can someone confirm?
Also as i have seen on Sam-mobile, there are a lot or ROMs with different carriers/countries, can someone please explain the difference between them?
Are they "Branded" and come with bloatware or just region-linked?
Because there is also "Unknown" version in that list. Does it means Stock international ROM?
Can confirm I have flashed the UK BTU firmware over three firmware with no issues what so ever. Knox hasn't been tripped and all bloatware has gone. Although still no A-Z sorting of menu.
I really hope we can do this on AT&T without tripping KNOX. I'm sure it would remove all that BS AT&T puts on the phone.
The ATT models have app drawer sorting? It's a stand alone A-Z toggle in the top right of the app drawer
T mobile does
EDIT: Nevermind my previous post at this place. Seems like Sammobile is having troubles and gave me the wrong firmware file (S6 instead of S6 edge). Or I was to tired, that's why Odin said "FAIL"
I just unbranded my s6 edge by flashing the german firmware from sammobile successfully. I accidentially didn't even unencrypt my phone before and it works.
All Data is still there and the apps did update on first start.
Knox not tripped.
has anyone found the USA t mobile firmware for the edge on sam mobile yet? (SM-G925T)
I've only seen it on junk sites like Rapidgator, and Upload.to
thanks

I haven't seen t mobile edge firmware on sammobile yet; its on rapidgator and upload to, but it will take 8 hours to download..
and I would NOT risk trouble by flashing anything but t mobile usa firmware, but hey, its your phone to do what you want with..
How long do sammobiles downloads take
on a free account, probably 2 hours; less if you pay for a premium account I assume
but as of this am, the t mobile edge version isn't there yet

The firmware must be for your device and it should be made for your region. I can assume that if you flash another one you might have troubles with the mobile phone network.

Flashing official firmwares via ODIN will not trip KNOX. Use SAMMOBILE to download the one you want.
Use also the latest ODIN software version.
Some official firmwares come with some bloat apps but they can be easily uninstalled.

Not entirely true. You can use what region you want. I never had problem with the signal after using different region firmwares.

you should make sure the German software is for your model or you risk bricking your phone, and if you send it in and they see that software is not intended for your device they could void the warranty. I am not sure how KNOX works but it may be tripped f you try to flash another image.
Hopefully someone more familiar with Samsung than I can explain in better detail.

modifying your firmware in any way will void your Samsung warranty, but depending on your carrier and who you have insurance with, it might not void THAT warranty..
you wont be able to return it to Samsung if you have to..

Wrong, as a Samsung repair tech I can say flashing a firmware from an other region or bloadware Free stock firmware will not do anything to your warrenty, as long you don't trigger knoxx
We do the same, for example phone comes in with a Luxemburg firmware, go out with an netherland firmware ( because the last Available lux firmware is still on june security patch, and the netherland firmware already have july patch)

Hello ,Juts to make the question clear .In case I have the original FW (from sammobile ) which my S7 came from box and I will flash other country stock rom ,and in case it wouldn't good I will flash back the original FW will it void Samsung warranty ? Would be the knox tripped ?
Knox will not be tripped. Everything will be samsung official. I never heard of guaranty declined for other country official firmware!
If you flash official firmware wou'll be ok

Hello ,seems you are the man who can help me . I've got my phone before 1 month .I have SM-G930FD version which have been worked fine during 2 weeks ,afterwards (seems it happened after OTA update ) the phone started to freeze and reboot randomly . I did factory reset ,initializing with Smart Switch ,bu nothing helps ,it work for some days and then phenomenon back . I'd like to flash it with Stock FW . The question is Can I use the SM-G930F for my region to flash it in my SM-G930FD ??? In case I flash it back with FW it was before would I loose the Samsung warranty? Would the knox be tripped ?
So I have bit the bullet and purchased a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge T-Mobile variant from Amazon.DE and was wondering what firmware do I need to flash to get the international firmware on it (I assume I need to use Odin for this? Will this trip Knox)?
The firmware is labeled as UK/EU international on Sammobile.
Wouldn't trip Know but might not be worth flashing as I heard the T-mobile isn't branded.

Flashed mine a few times between the O2 UK and Generic UK firmware and Knox hasn't been tripped. The only issue I've seen so far is being unable to get the O2 splash screen back.
Anyone know or have insight?
Won't know until the phone is in the hands of the tinkerers. It has been that way, FWIW, since the GS7/GS7E.

Check the S8/S8+ fourms
It works. I just flashed the unlocked firmware on my Verizon model. Only issue I'm having is trying to figure out how to access IMS Settings, can't access through nova or shortcut master. Visual voicemail works.

Hello,
NO, flashing carrier's firmware on unlocked model dosen't trip knox, so you don't lose warranty.

Ok thanks because I saw the carrier versions were model # SM-G965U and I was worried because I have model SM-G965U1.

You welcome, you don't have to worry, flashing SM-G965U firmware on your SM-G965U1 model will work anyway.

I am happy to report that after flashing the Sprint firmware on my unlocked S9+ it worked with no issues and knox was not tripped. I've noticed that even though the Sprint splashscreen didn't show up at boot, while in setup the phone did detect the exact carrier I was on (Boost Mobile) and the phone showed the Boost Mobile splashscreen upon reboot and all the Boost Mobile apps as well as some bloatware loaded onto the phone as if it were a phone I purchased through them. But one issue I still notice since when I first bought the phone is the fact that the data speeds are slow in my area, but when I had an LG Stylo 3 from Boost in the area now where I see the slow data speeds, the LG didn't have that issue. I thought flashing carrier firmware would fix that problem. When I am in other parts in NYC out from where I live, ex: Manhattan, Brooklyn; I don't see no slow speeds I get true, fast 4G LTE. I guess it's a software issue Samsung can fix in the next update?
Anyone have link for modified Odin just in case I decide to flash iunlocked S9+ firmware back on my phone?
