Hi,
What model of phone do you have? The LTE SM-N9005? If so (and I hope someone could either second this or correct me if i'm wrong) I believe you could flash via odin (and you do not need to be rooted to do this) the lollipop update that O2 has. 5.0 is available for the UK via the sammobile website, so if the basebands remain the same and the phone is the same model, I believe you could just download the 5.0 update from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Since you would be flashing an official version of sammy's rom, you won't need to be rooted, nor have a custom recovery.
Cheers

so, you are using the sm-n9005, and the firmware u have is the same one as the firmware that the 02 UK version runs in 4.4.2.
Unless I'm mistaken, and if anyone sees I am please correct me, you could flash the 5.0 version with odin for o2 UK. I don't see why it wouldn't work, since it seems you have the same phone and firmware currently in 4.4.2
cheers

Your device is using of UK (with CSC: BTU). It still without Lollipop update. I recommend don't flash via ODIN any firmware and wait for future updates (via OTA) if you aren't rooted.

Galaxy s6 edge + debranding

Hello, just got my galaxy S6 + ,unfortunately it's branded. :crying:
after having couple of LG phones I am not up to date in the "samsung world" and I want to flash the official Samsung ROM
Is it safe for now to debrand the phone with ODIN ? it's the standard procedure like in other phones ?
I found 3 XEO Roms for Poland

thanks !
I'm from the UK and my phone came with customisation (although very minimal I might add) from EE. The first thing I did was to download my country specific official Rom (BTU) from sams mobile and flash it through Odin. I have had no issues at all and knox has not been tripped.
Looking through your list of Roms, the first one is the one you want to go for.

I have build version LMY47X.G928FFXXU1AOH4

Help - I have bricked my Note 3 sm-n9005

I was given a Samsung galaxy note 3 32gb sm-n9005 (Orange France)

Model name GALAXY Note 3 LTE
Country New Zealand
Version Android 4.4.2
Changelist 1955971
Build date Mon, 28 Jul 2014 12:56:29 +0000
Product code TNZ
PDA N9005XXUGNG1
CSC N9005TNZGNI2
It installs to approx 97% and fails on the hidden.img.ext4
I have tried using different pits to no avail just keeps failing
Any suggestions please ? I have read countless threads but can't figure this one out at all....

You think I'm stupid maybe but.... New Zeland (TNZ) never gonna work if your phone is branded to France (Orange). No? It's normal that ODIN give you error everytime.
*Steps to follow:
1. Download the correct firmware to Orange (FRANCE): HERE.
2. Unzip and flash it via ODIN.
3. Buy a unlock code by IMEI and unlock your device.
4. Every SIM should work now (your device is international).
5. Done.

Nah all sorted - It was a case of finding the correct pit file to match the firmware, the phone was already on a different provider here in NZ so once I got the right one with the hidden partition all went well....

G935FD - which country of origin?

Hey Guys,
I received my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos yesterday and immediately installed after the first setup the available update for Nougat. I tried to get the preinstalled Samsung Pay working, which should be available in my current location (Switzerland). I noticed that the samsung pay app is completely chinese so I started digging for the country of origin of this specific device.
I was a bit baffled that sammobile doesn't list the buildnumber of the firmware which is G935FXXU1DQCT. When I looked up the CSC code (*#1234#) it is showing me G935FZZT1DQCT. I read that ZZT should be the country code but I couldn't find anything about that code.
Can somone tell me which country of origin my device has? My previous Galaxy S5 Duos was UAE.

I think that ZZT is not country code. Take a look this
My product code is XID, means my country name indonesia. On that csc not even write xid

Hi All, I just purchased the Samsung A20 205G and would like to know if there is a way to change the firmware to A205U (T-mobile). I have downloaded the A205U firmware and used Odin3.1.3 to upgrade the firmware but it kept on failing. The message I got is: Custom Bindary Blocked by OEM lock. I am not sure what is going on. Could someone please give me some information on how to upgrade the firmware?
Thanks,
DT
