hi,
I have a galaxy S5, it is from China and it is original. I downloaded antutus apk file from my computer and transfered it to my phone then installed the apk file. And i benchmarked my phone. It is real. The model name is SM-G9006V.
As i checked all the samsung galaxy s5 phones on earth have the same cpus and gpus except the models with octa core and korean models. I live in Turkey, in Turkey model name for galaxy S5 is G900 or G900F or G900FQ. It doesnt matter language for me so doesnt matter if the firmware includes Turkish language.
My question is, would it be a problem if i root G900F's firmware to my G9006v?
currently my phone works, i can make calls and search the web. I don't have google play store, baidu search engine is on my home screen and i want it to be google. And i think there will be more problems in the future i think, because of the restrictions of China government on my phones software.
I tried these:
a>GoogleServicesFramework(Check your phone via RE explorer)
b>GoogleLoginService
c>Google play store(lastest version is better)
With latest versions. Play store is opening but not connecting to internet, first time it asked me for my gmail account and i logged in. It is currently shows that i am logged in to my google account on play store. But play store doesnt connect to internet. And i also tried downloading apps from the browser hoping it directs me to play store properly but phone software doesnt recognize play store(i think).
So would it be any problem if i install another model's firmware?(I personally do not think it will be a problem because all the hardware are the same). And would it make any features disappear?
Or how can i get over these problems with different solutions?
Ik , just do factory setting , asus zenfone 4 also get the problem..

I think you didn't understand the problem. In china google is banned. So this restrictions are in the stock rom. And i also did factory settings.
Oh , sorry ya..

You can't install EU Rom on Chinese version, blocked. I ask in blackberry. Forget to do ir
OK. when you try to install the rom, it will check whether your phone is a Chinese version or not and if it's a Chinese version, you cannot get any google apps from the original rom. But you can enable it by urself, I can send you the link by email.
It is sad that google service is blocked in China, but the Chinese version BBK1 has a 4GB ram which is 1GB bigger than other versions.
Hello Guys
I need help with my A5108, I restored it to factory setting and discovered, it was bought from china, with no play store and other google related app. I will like to use playstore and also other apps. I also see alot of chinese on the phone which i do not understand.
How can i install a firmware different from the china version?
Which Firmware Can I Flash For G9750 Model S10 Plus? English Version
You've asked the question I was thinking about asking, but not sure where to put or ask it.
I'm considering buying a new S10+ (G9750) from Wonda Mobile as it's so much cheaper than in the UK, but you also get the slightly better performing device.
So I'm hoping by bumping this thread we might get an answer.
Hi,
there are only two firmwares available for the S10 plus SM-G9750 version april 2019:
- One from China with usless chinese stuff and no Google stuff intended for chinese users: Version: G9750ZCU1ASD4 (ZCU is the chinese version code and CSC is CHC).
- The other one from Hong Kong with Google stuff and intended for international users (Much more langages available at start-up but the very first one will be chinese when the cell phone starts after a factory restet) Version: G9750ZHU1ASD4 (Be sure to have ZHU in the code and CSC is TGY)
So for international users, the only option will be the ZHU firmware version and if you buy it from Canada or England for exemple, sellers are supposed to ship you the Hong-Kong version.
I'm from Canada, I bought it in Canaba and I have tested both firmwares with Magisk.
By the way, you are welcome.
I've just created an account to thank you for the info! I was about to flash mine to the Chinese version thinking it was better!!!!
Have A Play Store In China Firmware ?

As I said above : No Google stuff.
I would like to inform you that with the Chinese firmware, the phone doesn't behave normally: None of the app runs in background so you have to modify that in the settings. if not none of the widgets will work for example.
Samsung pay is pre-installed and there is an annoying white bar at the bottom of the phone (in the navigation bar). you can get rid of it with titanium backup.
As I said, if you are not Chinese, don't use this firmware. If you want to install it, you'll have to download the play store apk.
Does the white bar appear on just the Chinese version or both HK and Chinese versions?
TIA

Just the Chinese version.
Note that you can easily swap between two versions of the firmware, so it doesn't really matter which one the phone is shipped with if buying from Ebay or similar.
And just to echo @oceliome's post — G9750 is a dual-sim version with Snapdragon processor (as opposed to Exynos for dual-sim versions in Europe and elsewhere), so you cannot flash firmware from other dual-sim versions of G975FD.
Almost two months and no updates. It's really unbelievable.
Well from what I am reading here, I'm not going to be buying a new S10 series phone.
I'm not going to buy an inferior Exynos powered one and I'm not prepared to buy a Snapdragon one either which doesn't work with Google Pay or PayPal with 100% reliability and now seemingly isn't receiving any firmware updates.
I've also received reports from my friends that there are significant issues with the Bluetooth connectivity to VW/Audi group cars infotainment systems which seem to prevent you making and taking handsfree phone calls and using Android Auto as well.
I'll be watching the market for something else which meets my requirements.

Hi. I am planning to buy g9750 from expansys and I'm in UAE. Will I be affected in any of the software issues or network issue or something? Need your expert suggestions since you are using one.
Can I change my S10 plus version from G9750ZCU2ASG7 (China) to G9750ZHU2ASG7(Hong Ko
Hi I bought an S10 plus from China with no Google apps. I manually downloaded it but I want Google apps installed as system apps because I'm having issues with my Google assistant. Can I change my Chinese version to Hong Kong version because they are similar if I'm not mistaken. The reason I want to do this so that I can get Google apps preinstalled as system apps.
If I can do this, how do I do it and also do I lose my data on my phone? Also will Google apps now be system apps on my phone.
Thanks in advance.

Reckon the firmware is interchangeable because the same hardware on both variants, I have G9750 (the China mainland one) myself and use Google's bells and whistles but not so much of the Google assistant though (currently located in China mainland) can't be all the time connected to the VPN

The latest firmware for Hong Kong devices (CSC TGY) has English Language Support, all that needs to be done is change the language in settings after startup. You'll have access to Google Playstore, Samsung Pay and many other apps. It also lacks the bloatware associated with carrier branded devices and the bootloader is unlocked which allows you to root the device.
Hi All
I wonder if someone can help me.
I was given a P30 Pro as a gift while working in China, sadly its the Chinese variant.
Is there any way I can flash the global firmware onto the device overwriting the Chinese version?
I understand that doing so the NFC will not work for payments as its not certified outside China but thats no hardship.
It does have the google framework services on but none of the apps.
I have tried the update via USB and memory stick but the device reported no firmware found, (version isssue?).
Sadly the bootloader is locked too.
If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.
