US firmware on Canadian device? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Wondering if I can update my girlfriends Canadian S5 (SM-G900W8) with the tmobile 5.1.1 firmware, or another country? The 5.0 update is causing quite a few problems on her phone, wondering if I can use another countries firmware because it will be a cold day in hell before Rogers, Bell or Telus sends out another update.
Thanks!

Yes, you can update it with with another country's firmware.

[Q] Does the KitKat 4.4.2 update for the Note 3 SM-N9005 restricted to regions ?

Hi all,
I have the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005, currenty running android 4.3, and I am waiting eagerly for the KitKat 4.4.2 update, but I'm afraid that because this specific model is not officialy sold im my country (Israel) and I bought it from abroad, that maybe the KitKat update will not reach my phone here in Israel.
Can someone please tell me if the official Samsung KitKat 4.4.2 update for this model (SM-N9005) is not region restricted, e.g. it has nothing to do with regions, and my phone will be updates via kies anyway ?

You Note will update from the Region that it was bought from, via OTA -- So if you got it from say, Germany, you'll receive German OTA update when it rolls out, same for X Y Z country.
I just did this and flashed the mexican CSC and locked my phone. I think if you keep the right CSC you'll be fine
Thanks

[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?

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.

Yes, you can flash it through ODIN. I have Orange Romania, and those losers didn't released Marshmallow, not even now in September. I've used SPAIN. Works like a charm.

Question about Australian Firmware.

Hello. Im new to the S7 Edge forum coming from a note 4. Im on Puerto Rico (PCT) firmware G935FXXU1BPH1. I saw theres a new Australian firmware on sammobile G935FXXS1BPJ8. I was wondering If someone has tried it out and if theres any diference or changelog available. Ive read that some firmwares removes Volte. Would it be safe to flash it on my model. thanks in advance!
I am on Australian FW BPI6 .... Standard retail version with Sept security... No other updates... It could just be a carrier update??

It was updated for the Vodafone version of the phone.
Does Samsung Pay work on the S7 Edge international (G935F) with Puerto Rico (PCT) CSC?
You need your own carrier's CSC to be able to have VoLTE.
