Lost all google services after updating my G9910 to A12 through Odin - Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions

I flashed Android 12 using Odin and found a bunch of Chinese bloatware and no google services at all. I thought I was sure my model was Chinese, does this mean my model was the Hong Kong version? Or is there something else I'm missing?

Google Play critical issue

I can no longer download or update apps from Google Play any more. Does anyone with the AL00 model facing the same issue? Can anyone tell me does international version(L29/L09) work right now?
L29 working for me.
Delete the cache for it and try again
I can't comment for the Chinese AL00 firmware, as though I have an AL00, it was re-branded to L29 firmware before I got it, and I've had no issues with Google Play (and have actually successfully received an OTA firmware update too). Unless you have a need to continue using the AL00 firmware (for example, if you're in China?), I'd suggest re-branding it with L29 firmware.
I had a problem with it the night before. It started working after I woke up. Maybe there was a temporary problem with the play store itself.

Realme 6 - Global Version Firmware Update

Hey everyone. I'm a proud new owner of a Realme 6. I bought it as being a global version (model RMX2001) 4/128GB.
I updated but found out that the firmware version was RMX2001_11.B.33. I think it must be a Russian Version even though I bought it through a spanish online retailer, since the box comes in russian.
I checked and there was a version for the Indian Region (RMX2001_11.B.37)with the same changelog as the one for the European Region (RMX2001_11.B.34). I downloaded the firmware for the European Region (RMX2001_11.B.34) and updated through the recovery mode.
Can someone explain to me what are the consequences of doing such a thing since I updated a RMX2001 model with a RMX2001EU model? Also, does this mean that from now on I'll get the OTA updates for the RMX2001EU model, European Region or only the ones for the RMX2001 model, whatever region I got?
Any other input regarding this subject is deeply appreciated. I'm curious more than anything. Thanks!
my phone is also a eu model, and didnt get the latest update to.
what i did is realme.com india region/market and find the o.zip RMX2001_11.B.37 and installed
everything working just fine for me. so i think all those phones are just the same..

I got my phone from amazon spain. I live in switzerland.
The latest OTA was B.30 for me. I downloaded B.37 from Realme Site and also updated via recovery.
Everything works however.
The hardware is definitely the same in all phones. But somethings still different. Some phones are able to unlock bootloader (india models I think) while EU models cant.

I definitely updated my Global Version with the EU Firmware. And in the settings I have the RMX2001_11.B.34 Version (which is actually the same as the RMX2001_11.B.37 according to the changelog, but not the size). I prefer the EU version since it may have less bloatware and ads due to the European restrictions. Also, I live in Portugal so I think it's better to use the EU version, unless a more recent version is available.

That's the strange part. It seems all roms are interchangeable, but then, what are the differences? Actually, how can one know what is their region? I say mine must be from Russia due to the text in the box and it also had a russian app installed. I updated with the EU rom and the model still is RMX2001 (not RMX2001EU), but the version is RMX2001_11.B.34. So I used a RMX2001EU_11.B.34 rom and it updated to the RMX2001_11.B.34 (missing the EU part). Furthermore, all package names and MD5 checksum are the same, when compared. Therefore, I actually think it is all the same and one can use any rom to update.

I didnt even realize that I downloaded the "non EU" rom from the india site. I honestly dont know if I had an EU rom when I first booted up my phone. I dont remember seeing EU in the OTA settings. However the latest OTA for me was the b.30, which is why I updated to b.37 manually because i thought higher number = latest update
Yeah its very weird. I only know that there is a global and an india version of the phone. We definitely have the global one or else we would have trouble with the 4g signal (or at least me here in switzerland)
EDIT: I think im a little confused now. I think you mean you had the RMX2001EU_11.A.34 (with the A)
There is A and B. Probably A for global and B for india
on 4pda forum some members mention that RU firmware supports "call recording", in all other roms(incl. EU) thats restricted due legal laws

You're right. I updated with the RMX2001EU_11.A.34 firmware version. Actually, I must have updated to the RMX2001_11.B.33 via OTA and then by updating with the RMX2001EU_11.B.34, I ended up with the build number RMX2001_11.A.34. At least that's what shows up.
I honestly think we can use whichever we want that any will work. I'll stick to the EU versions.

So supposedly, you downgraded... This is definitely weird! ahah As long as nothing is bricked, it's fine. At least we know that we can update with any version.
Also, on a separate note, does anyone know how to check volte and vowifi? Or enable it?

Well, both versions are supposed to bring the very same updates. I'd rather wanted to be on EU version too, even if its just for the file name and nothing else lol. My phone probably shipped with the A version and I mistakenly updated it to B
if you look at the changelog it is the same for both versions

Hi. I want to buy a realme 6 in Spain but I need to record calls. The EU version does not allow to record calls, but the Indian Rom does include call recording. I have read that you installed the Indian version, can you see if you have the option to record calls?
To change rom is just install? There is no need to open bootloader, right? Can the Indian Rom be used in any country? I want to use in Spain
Thank you very much.

But I think it is only necessary to change the EU rom to a RU or Indian Rom. Do I need to unlock bootloader just to switch to a Rom from another country? It's strange...
I updated but found out that the firmware version was RMX2001_11.A.38.

Could you answer me if this version with Russian box has the Brazilian Portuguese language?
How can I change the ROM?

Question Enabling Volte

I recently received the iii and I really enjoy it so hoping to overcome some obstacles so I can enjoy the full experience.
It was preinstalled with Hong Kong firmware, I successfully flashed it with Sea firmware but I have had no improvements. I am hoping to enable VOLTE and access all my telcos frequencies.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
I successfully flashed my Hong Kong version phone with the US ROM, so you can try to flash it if you found a ROM for your country. Also try to install or update "carrier service" in google play.
I updated carrier services and nothing has changed. I might flash another region onto the phone as there is no Australian region available at the moment and I don't expect a version to be released.

Samsung has frequent update delays for Chinese market. Perhaps some peculiarities of the legislation. Updates for Canada are the same.

You can either wait for the OTA to arrive or flash it yourself using ODIN. The firmware file became available a few days ago for the Chinese market. Haven't tested it yet though, I'm downloading it now.

Edit: After testing, I don't recommend the Chinese version, too much bloatware, and no google services. We've gotta wait for the HK version.

Same problem here. Samsung don't release update for s21 china / hk / Taiwan .
No communication of Samsung for explain why ... Maybe geopolitics problems with Android and conflict between china and USA.
samsung probably does not want to offend the chinese government. we must hope that the phone is not filled with bloatware. Next Time i can't buy chinese version.

Hey, maybe some can answer this for me?
I have the S21 SM-G991U (snapdragon), purchased from USA, using it in Europe.
There is no OTA update for android 12 and I am not sure why.
So, I wanted to flash it via ODIN, but I am not sure what version of firmware to download.
When I use *#1234# > it shows me this CSC: G991UOYN4AUIN
When I use the "Samsung Phone INFO" app, the "Active CSC code" is GCF (screenshot attached).
Could someone answer this for me and tell me what firmware version I could download? Or why there is no OTA yet?
Thank you!
HK version got it guys
I will let you know how it goes after i update
update:
other than the new privacy controls and jiggly animations, It feels more or less the exact same to me
I hope for the future, security patch will be push more quickly ...
