[Q] Firmware Versions - Optimus 7 General

Hello,
I notice that in the ROMs page there is a UK firmware version called 10A that was released a week after a Vodafone Ireland firmware called 10J.
Does that mean that the UK 10A is already outdated or do LG ROMs get different version numbers for each region of firmware? In other words, does the UK 10A have the same firmware as Vodafone's 10J?
Thank you.

Okay, I can answer my own question. Just flashed with the UK firmware and it seems to have the same up-to-date radio versions etc as the Vodafone 10J firmware.
It also has the network config app installed by default.

Restore i9001 firmware

I need to restore the original firmware for my SGS+, but I can't seem to find it. I went to sammobile and found list of firmwares, but I can't find my country there, or any other country with the same carrier as I need.
I need a firmware for Serbia, carrier Telenor. The closest I could find is Croatia and Bosnia, but they don't have Telenor.
Is there a way to find the firmware I need, and if not, which one should I flash to successfully restore the original firmware?
btw, I bought my phone from Telenor and I have contract with them.
Flash an unbranded one for you device.
I had an Vodafone NL branded version but after the KIES update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 i got an unbranded one.

[Q] Lollipop update on S5

Hi all, Im not sure if im posting in the right section, I am new to forumns, I have a samsung galaxy s5 G900F, I am in the UK but cannot get update for lollipop via samsung kies 3 or OTA. All it says is latest updates already installed. My samsung was bought in italy but was unlocked to all networks. My build number is KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9, is the reason it is not updating because its from Italy and that I have to wait for Italy to release their update?
Well, yea if your ROM is Italian then you need to wait for the Italian update
Or flash a UK ROM, in which case you might as well flash the stock Lollipop ROM from sammobile or here XDA
Yes, your rom is italian no carrier, in italy for now lolipop was released only for some carrier(Vodafone and H3g)
Thanks for your reply, I am searching for the UK ROM and found BTU - is BTU for no carrier? also do I need to Root my phone to install the ROM?

Can I use a modem from a different country?

Hello!
Recently managed to upgrade the modem on my s4. I went to samfirmware and downloaded the latest modem for my country (Sweden) and it's I9505XXUHOE1.
I then noticed there is a later version, I9505XXUHOE3, but it is for Romania.
Should I flash this instead to have the latest version and don't care it's for Romania?
It should not matter. Some work better then others but I doubt it's related to the country.

Latest canadian firmware

Hi there,
I have rooted my phone and installed the US firmware in august. What is the latest Canadian firmware that works with videotron? I would like to go back to the latest canadian firmware so I might be able to get OTA....or is there a way to have OTA using a US firmware in Canada? Thank you very much.
I could not say. I'm also a Canadian with the US firmware (provider is Telus) but had not got to install the latest firmware update yet.

Latest Nougat Firmware - Manual Install (Odin)

Hello folks,
I would like to update my S7 Edge (SM-G935F) to the latest Nougat firmware which if I'm not mistaken arrived UK BTU, which is:
PDA - G935FXXU1DQB3
CSC - G935FOXA1DQB1
I would like to install it via Odin, the most stock way possible (don't want root or custom recovery), just because that I'm tired that it haven't arrived OTA in my country (PT).
But I have a few questions regarding this manually update to the latest firmware of another country:
1) Manually installing the latest update from BTU UK will stop me from receiving future OTA updates? and if no, will I be receiving the OTA updates in the future from UK or PT??
2) My device with the currently firmware has no bloatware from any network (was bought unlocked), if I upgrade to the latest firmware from BTU UK, will I still have no bloatware? (or bloat will be installed?)
3) Will I have any problem from installing a firmware from other country (being both for the same model: SM-G935F)?
Thank you very much in advance! :good:
I have everything ready to make the manual flash, just want to clear this things out before I do it.
Thanks

Each country or region has it's own CSC which can be easily flashed
by itself without the need to odin flash a different country's full firmware.
The only time you need to think about bloatware is if you flash a specific
carrier's firmware like perhaps vodaphone and most other carriers add
their own bloatwares. But if you only flash the regional firmware for your
country or region like BTU UK you will not end up with bloatware.
Good luck and happy flashing!

Future OTA's will not be a problem if you have flashed
the proper CSC for your country before trying to update
future firmwares.

So you are saying that first I should change my CSC to the UK, then flash the latest firmware via Odin and won't have to worry about future updates? Can't I simply flash the latest UK BTU firmware and it will change the CSC and get me the latest firmware in once?
