Hi,
may it's a little bit early, but does anyone know which region code (like 401 EU for M7, or 617 Gen Unlock/US for M9) will get the updates first?
best regards
So far it seems to be both the Taiwan 709 and WWE 401.

I9000XXJF5 is my phones Version, what country is this from? are there any updates past this?
Europe. No.
Hi Shaun,
You can better understand what each digit of your firmware stands for by referring to this website:

OK, this is pretty silly question.
Phone says retasia, so this is asia "model"? Same as India?
Just wondering because I ordered phone from England and I live in Europe.
What does it say under the heading "Hardware SKU" in About Phone in your phone settings?
My European version reads "lux_reteu.reteu.en.EU retGB" under System Version. So it makes sense that your phone is the Asian version, unless you've flashed the Asian ROM on your EU phone?
I wonder if there is any advantage in using a retail rom over a retla. I know both are retail, but retla is specific for latim america, and retail is world wide, something like the modem must differ, or have less bugs.
Anyone with retla rom has tried this shift?
I guess Latin America has different CID
Hello all,
So I'm tempted to buy a Tim-branded S8 on Amazon.it because it's crazy cheap currently. I'm not in Italy but from what I've gathered online (and confirmed by a review on the product's page on Amazon), branding in Italy doesn't mean sim-locking so it should be usable with my local carrier. I'm in Europe anyway.
The only major difference with an unlocked phone (since it doesn't seem to have any hardware trace of the carrier) will be the software : potential TIM-related bloatware, delays for updates, etc.
My question would be : could it be possible to flash an official "clean" image, without affecting the phone and its warranty ? If so, which reference should I use ?
Thank you very much !
Yes, was going to ask if it was also sim locked.?
What county are you in and what sim do you use?
Out the box, if sim unlocked, it will work anyway.
Unless you want any advanced features.
Fw wise it's not a problem. I went the other way though, flashing EE ( UK) firmware into an unbranded unlocked BTU version to get VoLTE to work. It caused no issues.
Belgium but I guess European models pretty much have all bands available across Europe...
Thanks for the feedback !
I have the tim s8 here in the UK, flashed the h3g firmware and have WiFi calling and volte functioning without issue.

hi
Im also interested in buying a tim branded phone (https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B071RSVYSH/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A11IL2PNWYJU7H&psc=1) and was hoping if someone who has one could answer me couple of questions.
1) Does the phone have universal warranty? I mean if something was wrong with it and it needed any repair, could I just take it to a local Samsung store?
2) The model number on amazon site is G950, is that different from G950F? i couldn't find any reliable info on this..
Thanks in advance!
If the phone is designed for the European market then warranty applies regardless where you are (within Europe).
All European models are F-models.
You can flash an unbranded ROM through Odin to get rid of any branding which does not trigger Knox.
Basically I want to make sure I'm running generic H870 firmware so I would get all the updates faster. Is there a list or something? I've tried searching but it's either for different G6 versions or just a list of H870 updates by region, not the version names themselves. I would really appreciate that!
EDIT: Okay, found the list. Now which one should I use? https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h870-firmwares/
Depends on where you are. The H870 is the international version, so any of the EU or UK firmwares will work. Easy check is in settings about phone
software info. Software version. Mine is UK and version is V10r-234-30.
International will show v10(letter)-Global-number and EU version will be EUR in middle. Different EU countries will have their own I.e. Germany is DE. Hope this is of some help.

you can use all firmwares whos for the H870 Model. EU, International, south America. If there is for example an south america FW that is newer than the EU FW, you can flash it, as long the FW is for the H870 too.
