I have S6 Edge+ South East Europe software version. Can I install UK version? Could it trigger Knox or make some problem in bootloader or something else. I did this on Note 4, but I have forgot how it went. Last year.

That's corrects... no problem.
What about csc? It remains as it was in original rom,right? Then OTA wont work,yes?
Up for ota question.
Cant you go back another rom if security version is lower?
And when you go back, will ota work?
if you intall another ROM the phone will rssult having the original CSC and the new one so OTA won't work.
to have the new CSC stick, you need to hard reset afte flashing, i read somewhere

So,I bought a new s4 octa today.All is great ranging from the bright screen to the nice 22 gigs available.But I'm having some kind of problem.I don't get any updates via OTA,also I tried using KIES and it says I have non-Samsung device and that it has latest firmware.
The baseband version is i9500XXUAMDK and the build number is JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDK.
I don't have heating problems as I topped 40 Celsius with 32 in standby or just playing with it,but how do I update?

In what country do you live? Also install CPU Z from Play, that should give you info about the phone`s hard- and software. Non-Samsung device but still the latest software?

I'm so sorry,I was mistaken when saying that it's non-Samsung.It's recognized as GT-i9500 so no problem with recognition.I live in Romania.Are you sure that what I have is the latest software?If not,why don't I receive any updates?
EDIT: I used CPU-Z from the beginning,and I have 32-34 when just browsing or watching vids and it gets up to 40 in gaming.

The I9500 is not beeing officialy sold in Romania, the I9505 is. It is probably an imported device from another country bro. There is no Romanian I9500 rom available on Sammobile, only I9505 roms. The MDK is quite an old rom. You could flash the Russian I9500XXUBMG1 rom with Odin for instance. There aren`t many Euro roms available as far as i can see, the Russian SER is the only one next to the German MBC rom http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17177. Check it on Sammobile yourself http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9500&pcode=SER#firmware. What was the language when the phone booted up the first time?

I highly recommend that you find out more about your version before starting flashing other firmware. Look at the box, it should give you a hint. Also, find out the CSC (see in Kies, somewhere in the files). After you know your CSC, check sammobile and download your existing firmware just for backup so you can always flash it back to original if needed.
Then look if there is any newer firmware for your CSC. If not, you can flash a newer one for i9500 with a different country code.
If you're planning on rooting, you'll lose warranty, but can always turn back to stock if you need the warranty, triangle away and stock firmware will help.
However, if you root it, first thing you should make an EFS backup.
Edit: Oh wait, triangle away is not available at the moment for i9500... Forgot about that.

You can flash a newer firmware from another region, or you should consider the benefits (and the risks) of custom roms.
Hello guys.
It's been 2 months since samsung started rolling out MM update for SGS6E+, and most of them (no carrier locked) already received it.
I have G928I, not locked, not branded, bought in official Samsung store in Singapore, but still no sign of MM.
Is it normal for phones in this region to receive update months after others do?

There you will see Android 6.0.1. This download and unpack.
Back up your data and use Odin Flashing.
Device setup and updates.
Update Download and install.
Have fun with it
It could be that the update on Android 7.0 is no longer available since Samsung has stopped the roll-out because of too many bugs.
Whether this message is something I can not confirm. I got the update today. Please tell me if you got the update this way.
Thank you!!

If you download this firmware, you have to flash this by Odin. If you flashst them all your data will be lost. So before everything save and then flash.

According to a few websites, the official update was stopped because of bugs again. Wait a bit and update the OTA again. Actually, this should work. If it does not go with you Samsung has stopped the update again.
The update is about 1.2 GB, and, especially in China, ran into some bugs initially, and was reportedly pulled before being re-released today. As to when will it hit the non-Exynos versions sold on US carriers, remains to be seen, but the wait shouldn't be long now that the beta testing phase is done and dusted. So ???
Some quick questions please..
1. What does BTU mean?
2. Will i be able to install this on 935fd without any probs?
can any one help me....I am from italy using s7 edge with model (SM-G935F )......if I flashed BTU Firmware from UK will void warrenty
China got the nougat update but Hong Kong yet to get the update what's the difference between this two.
Same for Luxemburg ?

That's a good one.
Though it is irrelevant for Samsung's update policy the Mainland edition need to comply with Mainland restrictions and you won't find anything Google related in the software but a lot of other crap.
If you don't want to wait download a nougat rom for Snapdragon of your choice and use the HOME_CSC of the latest rom for your area though I would say it cannot be much longer until you get the update as well.

I'm in the same boat; have a HongKong S7 edge 128 with Snapdragon.
Can you confirm that it is ok to use ODIN withNougat 7.0 from another country for BL,AP and CP and use the HOME_CSC from HongKong fron december that was on 6.0.1 Marshmallow? I'm speaking about official firmwares on a non-rooted phone and do not want to trigger Knox

Just wait for this month end mostly Will get it.
Knox won't be triggered in any case.
I did not try out this specific combination but never had a problem flashing Nougat (beta) BTU WHICH YOU SHOULD NOT USE SINCE IT IS FOR EXYNOS with various Marshmallow HOME_CSC.
For safety's sake make a backup first.
just use u.s. version and apply hk csc and you get the same thing if you remove carrier bloatware.
Thank you all. I will see how my patience meter does...Might try and will be careful to use a Snapdragon version.
On a side note if you use a mixed set of firmware files you won't receive OTA updates. It would be recommended to flash the complete set of the Hong Kong Nougat version (again with HOME_CSC) afterwards once released.

Your original CSC ought to be XSG(UAE). Nevertheless, since you've flashed the SLK firmware, there is no need of worry. By the way, you may not be getting new update since the firmware might be already latest, as last update to Sri Lankan firmware arrived way back in January. Just see the attachment.

You'll get updates, provided Samsung releases a new one in the UAE region. Which I think won't probably happen as Galaxy J5's two year support period is nearly over.
Nevertheless, I'd recommend you to change the CSC to INS(INDIA) by dialing *#272*imei 1# on your phone dialer and then choosing INS as the Sales code. Keep in mind that by doing so your device'll reboot and wipe all the datas.
As far as I know, J500F used to get more frequent updates in India than any other country.
Tnx.
Hi
Which android version do you have?
J5 is not getting many updates.After the 6.0.1 update there may not be anymore.
Plus if your phone is not official then it wont get any more updates.
