What firmware to flash? - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to downgrade my E5823 from 7.1.1 to 5.1.1. Now, does it actually matter what kind of firmware I flash? Would it be ok if I flashed a German firmware on a device with Polish firmware? And what about branding, does that matter?

Yes you can, im from serbia , i flashed with UK Ireland firmware
Do you lose OTA updates once you flash this UK ireland firmware for example? Do you need to factory reset/root/install twrp or Odin is enough?

Odin is your friend, no need for root or twrp. OTA will work. I live in the Netherlands and dirty flashed the unbranded UK/Irish version on my son's G925F, which had a Nordic Marshmallow version installed. Worked fine. The Vodafone branded version for the Netherlands did not work, but maybe I should have removed the SIM card first, since this was no Vodafone SIM. You can change the language into any language you prefer.

I bought mine in Denmark, so Nordic version as well I guess, but I never tried using Odin, can you provide some more info? Do I need to factory reset or it keeps all my data, I am also on Marshmallow (G925FXXU5DPL5 baseband), It's Unlocked, any sim works in it.

If you go to the firmware page of sammobile you will find the instructions for installing and using Odin. It's not complicated. I did a dirty flash and that went well. All apps and data were unaffected.

Retail EU doesn't have 7.0 Nougat firmware

Dear friends,
I want to ask why Moto Z XT1650 - 03 Retail EU, now doesn't have the full 7.0 firmware yet? Most of version, like RETMX, RETLA, RETCA, TELUS, those have 7.0 full firmware.
Now I would like to unlock bootloader and root my device, but I am afraid of this process will have some issue, I need to re-flash the firmware.
I have already OTA to 7.0
Are there some people can tell me where I can downlaod the full firmware of Retal EU? Or this version will not be released?
Thank you,
You have to ask Lenovo/Motorola why they haven't released officially signed recovery images yet. As of now, you can safely flash RETBR as RETEU, but won't be able to relock the bootloader. But that was already discussed several times.
But the question is that, where can I find the firmware of RETBR ?
Could you please provide the link or share drive to me ?
If I root failed, so I don't want to flash back to 6.0, you know My bootloader was up to date.

Yes, Mate. I have got this link also.
But it seems the RETBR is not related to 7.0 firmware. It just 6.0

I don't think OTA will brick your phone as updates will be according to your firmware version not according to region.

It will not, BUT on what bootloader version do you are?
If you are on Nougat BL, flashing MM will brick your device...
I couldn't find nougat version of Retin or Retasia. So i held my breath and went ahead with the US 7.1.1 firmware on my Indian device. To my delight, the flashing process went super smooth with no errors. (skipped flashing partition and bootloader though). On booting up i received OTA update of October patch. Accepted it. Now the software version in 'About Phone' under settings shows as 'Retin' and it's working great so far. (please note that i have an unlocked bootloader)
Thanks for being helpful guys.

I had the same problem with Galaxy A50. Got no OTA. I flashed current ROM with ODIN and then magically OTA has started to arrive next months.
So was my case with M30S too. I had to flash August update. Now I am waiting what will happen upon arrival of new ROM
P.S. If you phone is branded, then it is obviously OK if you do not get OTA in time

Will flashing delete all user data? What could be yhe cause of this...
As I see you have last available firmware - ASJ2. What OTA do you expect then ?

If you flash official firmware files using odin it does not wipe your data. And it seems like you already have latest firmware.

Galaxy S10 Lite UAE (XSG) model in USA - Stuck on Jan 2020 Security Patch

Hi,
As stated in the thread title, I have a Galaxy S10 Lite UAE model I bought from eBay to use in USA, and I am stuck on Jan 2020 Security Patch.
What would be the best course of action to assure I get OTA updates on this phone?
The CSC code is XSG/XSG,XSG/XSG
Thanks!
Kind Regards!
Unfortunately, what you said all right but there's one solution to do.
YOU HAVE TO DO MANUAL (Europe firmware) FLASH WITH ODIN (Google for method)
Firmware: https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__S10__Lite__/6v9y/PHE/G770FXXU2BTD2/G770FOXM2BTD2/
PS: SCROLLING DOWN FOR ODIN AND SAMSUNG DRIVER
I have installed the firmware, it seems to be working. PHE is the CSC.
Any idea if OTA updates will work from here on out?
