Hello from Turkey to those of you who loves to share their knowledge to help people. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy A90 5G (SM-A908N). I have to change the IMEI number of the phone before it is blocked. To do this, I need to install a Samsung combination file on it but the correct combination file has not yet released and seems like it won't while I need it. But there are other combination files available for this model of Samsung Galaxy. The only problem is they are for the phones produced for the different regions of the world; I mean not SM-A908N (which is Korean version of the same model) but SM-A908B, SM-A908F or SM-A908Q. So, what happens if I try to install one of these combination files using Odin, in place of my version!? After all, they are all for the same model of Samsung Galaxy, Samsung Galaxy A90 5G. THANKS FOR READING.

long story short; I'm planning on buying a Sam galaxy S II from china.
If I end up with a "asia region firmware", is it possible to change it to another firmware/region risk-free?
Edit:
also is it possible to unlock it in case it was locked?
thanks
It is possible to Unlock.
It is possible to flash any region firmware over any region firmware.
Regards.
Still the same i9100 phone, so you can put any firmware made for i9100.
Hi,
This is not working for me. I tried to flash XWKF3 over the ZCKG4 with Odin but that ended up in a brick phone. Got ZNKG5 downloaded and saved the phone but still on chinese firmware (with no app-market).
Have anyone done a firmware upgrade on a chinese SGS2? I would really like to get EU version with APP-market support, the phone is useless for me otherwise. (and I cant read chinese...)
Either you made a mistake when flashing the KF3 firmware by Odin or you flashed a wrong firmware. Make sure the firmware is full, it will be sized around 300 MB.
Regards.

Id just like to get my 2 cents worth in here so please correct me if im wrong,but ive been reading many failed attempts at this and heres what ive been thinking.
For example the galaxy s2 has this version that we have and also a 4G S2 released in canada.many galaxy models have 3G and 4G versions.Also we see Samsung releasing phones for for china or korea only.Is it possible that the Asian area also works on a different format frequency.For example an S2 firmware wouldnt be compatable with the 4G unit would it??.maybe the same type of thing is happening here cos i cant see anyone having any success with flashing between these two specific regions.Maybe there is a batch of chinese made phones made especially for the aisian region only because of this that makes it non compatable internationally like 4G- 3G regions.
from what i know the 4g s2 from canada is just a naming gimmick by the carrier there. it's still the same s2.
Ok, i read the other threads. apparently in this case failure is more common than success. so I guess I don't buy it in china.
Hello everybody, I recently tried a few ROMS for my new Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300L, the variant for Latin America with 1900 3G frequency-.
The problem is that I thought I could restore from a backup I made from the original firmware, but it was useless, it always ended up with an error.
I also tried to download and initialize the phone via Samsung Kies but it is not available for my phone model.
SamMobile doesn't have this model on their site.
The Stock Firmware available around on the Internet (XXLF5) via Odin always ends with a "Nand Write" error, even with the right PIT file.
So given these reasons, I would love if anybody could either upload and share the Stock Firmware for the S5300L or somebody could create a CWM with the stock ROM.
Thank you guys, I know this community is always helping eacohther! :good:

Huh? Korean models are named SHV-E210K/L/S and not I9300A. I suspect that what you have is a clone perhaps? I don't see any valid models with an "A" branding on Google.
I would be asking in the Korean thread and check about phone in settings .
I am trying to add chinese language to my old s2 skyrocket (SGH-I727) , so my dad can use it. I am thinking to flash roms from SHV-E110S because they seems to have the exact same spec. Can I do it or is there a rom for SGH-1727 that contains Chinese?
Hello everybody, I am struggling to find a way to make a Galaxy A7 bought in China more International-friendly, with no success.
I found firmwares for different kinds of A7 like 7100XX but nothing for SM-A7108 not even a Hong Kong firmware.
I then tried to manually install apk's of google play service etc.. but with no luck with it either.
Is there something I can do to make it at least normal Android with all the google stuff and without the chinese stuff?
Thank you very much!
Phone Details:
Samsung Galaxy A7 (SM-A7108)
Android Version: 5.1.1 (A7108ZMU1APE1)

I'm using the same device with dual SIM and I'm afraid it may take more time for the new customed ROM and SU to be released..
Just the same device and problem. Does anyone know the solution?
