Now I updated my Z5C to MM using the Singapore FTF. As I live in Spain, wonder if there are differences between the firmwares supplied for each country, and btw is there to get the FTF file for each country.
You can flash any firmware from any country. Just use the "unbranded" or "generic" or "customised" ones for your model number. There are just different kinds of bloatwares in each region and you can uninstall them
One difference in the Dutch (NL) firmware, and possibly others, is that instead of 'LTE' and 'LTE+' in the statusbar it shows '4G' and '4G+'.

So it's safe to dirty flash an ftf? Normally I would just wipe it all, but I need to keep some banking applications etc

Yes! I have a Dutch (NL) phone, flashed an unbranded Lollipop FTF over it months ago (from Austria or so), and now I flashed the Marshmallow 6.0 unbranded Singapore FTF. All works fine.
Of course there might be minor problems, but those would also occur if you did a normal update. But that really depends per phone and such.
Also. Don't get scared when flashing a FTF takes 15 minutes or so and it looks like Flashtool is hanging. Especially the system.sin flashing takes a good 10 minutes. But just give it time.
Feel free to contact me if you need help.
Thanks mate.. Greatly appreciate your response
Hmm kinda think its weird that carrier branded version get online way faster then the unbranded one

That's one of the questions I had, now my Z5C shows LTE instead of 4G. Wonder if there's a way to get the right FTF for each country latter...

I had problems yesterday when I dirty flashed MM. Play store and google services didn't work at all. Finally I wiped everything and installed again.

I dirty flashed. Updating Google Services took 20 minutes and restarted a few times, as it would get stuck, but finally it went through and everything works fine including Play Store.

Thanks mate.. wouldn't I need to unlock my bootloader to get root though?

I flashed the Singapore ftf without any wiping and everything is working fine. I didn't lost anything. Even my home screen it's the same with all my shortcuts and widgets.
Some firmwares may disabled the VoLTE if that country/carrier doesn't has VoLTE and some VoLTE got different standard/settings too I've heard. Like if I flash the Singapore MM, my HK VoLTE probably will brick out. But other then VoLTE, everything else should work without problem.

just upgrade play services app to ***-4**,you can find it at apkmirror.com
before update,LP rom got a ***-2** play app. But MM need ***-4** version,after upgrade,everything should work fine.
And for Z5c ,it should be ***-446

Nordic - Bloat can be uninstalled or disabled. 4G icon, no persistent NFC icon.
I'm wondering if not being able to turn off the VoLTE Provisioning Flag in the INFO menu is specific to certain firmwares. I'm using the Singapore firmware and I can't seem to turn it off.
I recently purchased a gear s off ebay, turns out it originated from Korea I think. (SK Telecomm) Gear works great other than the mobile network. I looked around and found out mobile networks over there are on a different frequency than here in Canada. Question is, can I root this with a Canadian firmware to get the mobile network working? I checked Sammobile for canadian firmware but there was nothing there for.
Gear version - SM-R750
Firmware - R750XXU2BOK1
Phone - Galaxy S6 Edge
Android Version - 5.1.1
I did the same thing as you (watch came from Montreal) and am curious about this as well.

Has anyone found any working links to download the XAR version for US firmware for SM-T820? I can not find them anywhere. Would like to attempt root but definitely want the firmware to fall back on. If anyone has a link to the firmware it would be much appreciated

I'm also running BTU/UK firmware in lieu of my native XAR. Aside from my tablet devoloping a somewhat charming Brittish accent, I have had/noticed any issues.
Thanks, I will DL that one just in case.
Guys, I have a US device (t820) and just tried to install a European firmware. Whatever I do it won't allow me. I get an error unsupported dev_type (installing all the components of the firmware, BL, CSC, AP). Actually, downloaded the US firmware from the xda forum and that cannot be installed as well. hmmm

Did you just install the UK version through odin without bootloader and can? I am getting error all the time. Not sure if I need to do something in addition (oem unlocked).

Like the previous post suggested, you may want to check which version of ODIN you are using - also have you turned on OEM Unlock in Developer Settings?

Thank you. I will give it a try today. OEM Unlock is enabled. One more question, which of the two CSC files should I use, there is which has HOME as part of the file name. Thanks in advance.
I'm wondering if someone here can assist me. I picked up the 128GB version of the Tab S3 at my local Best Buy. I flashed TWRP and Magisk and didn't have any. Then I decided to try out the Flash v1.1 Kernel. Well after I flashed that kernel the Google app kept crashing on me so I decided to start from scratch. The only problem was I couldn't find the XAR firmware for my 128GB S3. I tried the UK firmware listed above and that almost works except that it limits my storage to 32GB instead of 128GB. Has anyone out there found any XAR firmware that can be downloaded? Any idea how to fix the storage issue?
Edit: After poking around I found the correct firmware at the link below.

Ah OK thank you
With 1ii, it's possible to flash HK, TW or EU ROMs but you will not get mobile signal. I tried all kind of ROMs but had to come back to stock Chinese ROM at the end.
It's lucky that in chinese ROM we still have Google Service and all you need is install Play Store APK, unlike Huawei or some others. Bloatwares can also be uninstalled easily.
I'm having 1iii XQ-BC72 now and pretty sure it will be the same. But need to wait for Xperifirm to release firmwares of other market first then I will try and come back here.

You couldn't get any signal back in 1 II because the CN model is XQ-AT72 while HK and TW are XQ-AT52. That's a different model with different baseband configuration.
But this time with 1 III, All three regions are sharing the same model XQ-BC72. So cross-region flashing shouldn't be a problem.
I have successfully flashed TW ROM on XQ-BC72 CN version using newflasher. Everything works fine
