You'll lose mobile signal if not done properly
You could either try rooting and using custom ROMs.

Someone said on telegram they were using h930 firmware on Korean model. Not sure how they did it though.
Its probably 'safer' not to use stock ROMs of other variants unless compatibility has been well established

HELP Updating GT-i9300

Hey guys, I am new to the S3 and Andriod as I used to be an iPhone user before. I bought a GT-i9300 from Hong Kong and brought it back to Canada and cant seem to get any software updates. I am currently sitting at build number I9300ZSALG3, just wondering if anyone could help me out doing an OTA update or via Kies or if this is the latest version. My baseband version is I9300XXLG3

Your firmware is from Taiwan..and for it the latest version is what you are currently using..however you dont need to wait for updates you can download firmware for United Kingdom the latest is I9300XXBLG8..you can download it from here..
http://samsung-updates.com/get/58/Samsung_Firmware_GT-I9300_BTU_I9300XXBLG8_Android_4_0_4.html
then flash it via odin...search these threads for the method to do so..
Hi man, Unlike iphone,offical rom is always the worst one.It usually uses more memory and have bad battery management.You can try another rom such as mike's.

Thank you! I am not too familiar with flashing with Android again because it is something new and if anything were to happen I wouldn't know how to fix it since I have been an iPhone user. Is flashing firmware any different from jailbreaking the iPhone? - in terms of being safer. Also, how can I be 100% sure that the UK version will work on my phone as well as keep my unlock.

Hey, again as I said to the previous member, I am not too familiar with flashing nor am I keen on doing it just because I am new to the Android community

Flashing the firmware is 100% safe if you follow the steps..it does not root your phone so it is not jailbreaking...so you will also not loose your warranty...
the firmwares are almost the same for every region, samsung being an a***le released different firmwares for different regions with different CSC....
but i am quite sure it will work on you region as you are already using Taiwan firmware in Canada...in any case download the Taiwan specific firmware also..so if anything goes wrong you can revert back...
by the way I am in India using BTU firmware..
Me too...
Along the same lines, I have an I-9300 sgs3 with South Africa firmware (XFE), i9300xxale9, but I'm using it in the United States, on AT&T, and am not able to receive updates thru either Kies or Update menu. I will NOT be traveling outside the US anytime soon. What should I load that would let me receive updates here in the States OTA?

LG G5 SE H840 need a stock rom

Hi everyone,
I need a stock rom for my phone. Before update OTA firmware 450MB (camera improvement) I have stock rom version v10a-222-10. After update, my stock rom version v10b-222-10. Where can I find this version of rom v10a-222-10? I check this site... //lg-firmwares.com/lg-h840-firmwares/
Hi !
You can find stock rom on the link you provided. Then, you have to use LG Up with Uppercut :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295
I manage to downgrade from 7.0 to 6.0 (even if it was a bit difficult). Btw, may i ask you a question : why do you want to downgrade ? This update seemed to be good, plus it bring february security patch and camera improvement.
I bought the lg g5 se one week ago and i also get this update !
I always think that the new update stock firmware more demanding than the old stock firmware... Correct me if I'm wrong? Phone works well, but it's the only reason why I want to do this...
Which version you download and installed? Can I install other stock rom from list? Can i install this version H84010b_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0222.kdz? Does not exist this version H84010a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0222.kdz?

Hello, I would suggest you to download the newest version from v10, i mean the following versions of v10a( v10b and so on) so if v10b is the most recent version of v10 then go for it. If you have the chance to download v10c for example, go for that one
Have you tried any of these versions? Which version do you use?

you need LGUP + uppercut to able to flash H840
and a firmware from https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h840-firmwares/ in KDZ, which is official format from LG
it's no Austrian firmware there (my phone from Drei), while exist from other EU countries(my last update was from 2017-03-08 - and it's Italian, UK there)
also exist a Android 7(H84020xxx) for EU/SouthAmerica
upd: ROM is the same for all EU, but it's include additional software from mobile operators, which is different

Hi. Can flash LG G5 H848 with LG G5 H840 ROM?

S9 plus G965N (South Korea sk) - how to flash Europe F and increase partition size

Hello everyone,
I have a south Korea:
Device spec:
S9 plus G965M with Exynos 9810 and says SK Telecom in the start but I think it's unlocked because I have my Portuguese sim card inside and it's working here in Portugal
Band name Ron : G965N KSU 1ARJ1
This
I've went thru a lot of threads but I got flooded with so many information that I'm afraid of the steps to do.
Main goal:
1. Use the phone in Europe / Portugal
2. Change the ROM because even with reset and English chosen, Android has a lot of menus in Korean
3. Even boot loader for Odin is Korean.
4. Install Android pie 9.0 and continue to receive updates. This phone is stopped in October patch. I think it won't update unless I put a Korean sim
Since the current official ROM 9.0 with oneUI and Pie is for 965F and not 965N (mine), and since N partition is smaller, where should I start or how?
10. Should I start with CSC change? Will that change partition also? To what CSC then?
11. Root? TWRP? Custom ROM?
12. I don't care about Samsung pay, but will I lose VoltLTE?
Thanks a lot for your time.
Hi folks,,,
At first excuse my language just plz try to keep up with me to get help
So I bought an used S9 plus Duos, inside its G965F...software info, build number its also G965F,, outside on the back G965F made in Vietnam,,, i discovered that's there is root and its on February security patch i tried to unroot it using Odin,,,the where i discovered its G965N!!!! Tried to continue by downloading official g965N firmware (pie 9) ... when the device restarted after using odin the phone working or showing just one sim even it was working just fine and even I used pie firmware its went back to oreo!!!
Plz ... Biiiig plz I need advices and solutions,,, I want to clean the root, I want to get updates ... and I want to get both of sim 1 and sim 2 work

1: cool, super easy and it sounds like you got it taken care of anyways
2: it’s a Exynos processor, so you should be able to root it and throw whatever ROM you want on it
3: if it’s a Korean model it should accept a G965F firmware flash in Odin which isnt a korean bootloader, and even if its not compatible, Odin will just fail out on the flash unless you have the modded version of Odin that is designed to ignore version mismatch errors and flash anyways
4: manually update it with Odin and don’t fiddle with the carrier specific needs for updates
What happened to 5 through 9?? (kidding, I can read between the lines)
10: CSC stands for country specific product code, or something like that. It tells the phone what market it is supposed to be intended for
11: sure, if you want, but youll trip knox if you do. sure. if youd like to, youre welcome to do that
12: SPay can be wonky depending on your CSC, but voLTE is a firmware/carrier specific. I have a regular S9 that i purchased from Cricket (united states MVNO carrier) and it had voLTE when i got it, but i flashed the G960U1 firmware (the "U1" iteration is the snapdragon unbranded version) and voLTE and WiFi calling are now both gone from my menu
---------- Post added at 10:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------
oh, and youre not gonna change the partition size to anything bigger than it came with. When you Odin flash the firmware, it wont change the amount of internal storage available unless you inadvertently shrunk it with a firmware flash of a smaller storage base phone, which seems unlikely. This was more common in the standard 16gb internal storage days. If the internal storage amnt is incorrect after a firmware flash, factory reset it in stock recovery and that should correct the issue

Sorry for the question , I'm from Mexico and I just bought a SM965 U from Verizon, the issue is that I would like to change the firmware to have a unbranded Samsung one with Android 10. Also I noticed Verizon phones don't allow to use test mode , so do you think if I flash SM - G965 U1 FIRM I will get those changes ? Or is it possible to brick the phone or loose essential features

Galaxy s21 not receiving updates

I have a Galaxy s21 olympic edition with number SM-G991Q and i am not receiving montly updates. The last update was the August 2021 patch and was installed on August 30th.
Also smart switch on Windows is not detecting Any new updates.
I tried to reset the device without luck getting new updates.
Does anybody has the same problems with the Galaxy s21 SM-G991Q not receiving updates?
I have this phone too, I also only got the August security update.
Don't worry, they probably lost their update schedule before switching to Android 12. I got updates yesterday for SM-G9910.
I have the same phone and find it odd that it doesn't show up on sammobile or anywhere else.
Does anyone know where to find original firmwares for it?
I have too G991Q and I need flash to XAA because I need BAND 20 LTE my country help me pls or altwrnative stock ROM?

Well on november 8th i finally got the october 2021 update. Hopefully the android 12 update will follow zoon
I have a question about the G991Q, did any of you get the ESIM to work yet? It is currently software locked - in theory it should have it because it is a Snapdragon chip
Do you have Android 12 on G991Q already? Im checking every day but still no luck Should I install non olympic rom? Will that work? Thanks
@Corbik
This particular variant has yet to receive the stable One UI 4/Android 12 update.
@jussy
See here; the model number of this variant is SM-G991Q and the CSC is SJP. At the time of posting this, the latest available firmware version is G991QOPU1AUJ2.
my version is g9910 and still no update to android 12.
last version a11 octuber security update....
whats happend....
What standard version would be closest to G991Q? I tried to flash U1 ROM but no luck
Friends i'm also with the SM-G991Q olympic version.. I really need to switch to CSC from ZTO, to try to use VOLTE and WIFI CALLING from my operator in my country, Brazil!
Can someone please help me change CSC to ZTO ? I tried the tutorial above, but it doesn't open anything when typing the codes, were you able to change? I saw that it only works on android 10. but we are on android 11.
I saw that you have the option to change CSC ANDROID 11 via Samkey, but I believe it still doesn't have support for our SM-G991Q device.

Have you tried switching to another S21 variant's ROM with Snapdragon 888? it worked out ?
If it doesn't work, I think I found our ROM to perform restoration via ODIN, in brink event:

Yes I tried the U1 version since it should be US version with Snapdragon888.
That ROM you found, based on the numbers is exactly what is in my phone now.
I think I will just wait some more time to get official Android 12 update, hopefully our special version wont be forgotten
But If somebody know which ROM would also work for SM-G991Q and ideally would also support all languages and features (esim for example) please share
