I want to know if I can flash a firmware on my phone using a firmware from a different region with a different Android version.
I want to upgrade the Android version of my phone from Android 7.0 Nougat to Android 8.1.0 Oreo or possibly Android 9 Pie, but the available firmware with the same PDA as my phone is only Android 7.0 Nougat.
My phone's PDA is J701FXXU4ARB3.

Hi ☺
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910c). I want to install android 6.0.1 on my device which is not available in my country.
Can I install another country's official firmware to my netwrok lock phone?
Thanks
P.S.: The reason why I want to install android 6.0.1 firmware on my device is to be able to flash an android 6.0.1 rom on my device.
Hello All,
Please I want to know the consequences of flashing the rom of another region on your Samsung device. Let me explain why I ask this
So recently I upgraded my Samsung j7 Pro (J730GM) to Android 8.1 Oreo and that update changed the binary version of my device to 5 (i.e. J730GMDXU5) so I tried downgrading the phone back to 7.0 but that did not work because Samsung has not released an Android 7.0 Nougat firmware with binary version 5 so downgrading the normal way was quite impossible.
Now I recently found out that Samsung has released an Android 7.0 Nougat firmware with binary version 5 but the region/country it was released for is Mexico while my phone's region is Thailand.
Now my question is, is it possible to downgrade my J7 Pro with the Mexico firmware although my device's region is Thailand because they are both binary version 5? If yes, what are the possible consequences?
Hello! My F700K is currently running android 8.0.0. The other day I saw that i can download the nougat version firmware from the lg website and ive been wondering if i can downgrade the OS using the LGUP program? Or does the oreo version have an antirollback feature that can brick my device if i do it? Thanks!
Not sure about F700K but I did with my H850 using LG UP, no problems at all with downgrading from oreo.
I don't know if this is related, off-topic or not. But my brother had this problem after he updated to 9.0 pie update on a samsung j8 phone.
Here is my build number and baseband.
Baseband: J810YDXU2BSD2. Build Number: J810YDXU2BSD3
Country: Philippines, XTC.
I would like to know what firmware should I download to downgrade using flash odin.

Hi , I think it will not be easy to downgrade from Android 9 to 8 but you can try with this one :

Hi, I would like to downgrade my Samsung XCover 4 (G390F) from Android 9 to 7. Is it possible? Simply flashing the stock Nougat using Odin fails because of different bootloader version.
