Hello.
I have US version of Tablet S that came with R5 firmware. It's rooted but according to many replies the recovery is locked so I can't flash anything on it, even downgrade is impossible.
I'm sending this table to a friend of mine in Russia. Do I need, if I can obviously, flash RU regional firmware or it should work there as US version fine?
If I can and should flash it, how would I do it? (AiO tool doesn't seem to work for flashing custom roms due to locked recovery)
Code:
Russia
ICS Release 5a

I think the only thing we can do now is to wait.

Hello!
I've searched many threads with usefull information through XDA forums, but some say that it is absolutely necessary that the phone should be unlocked, some say I cam update firmware even if it is unlocked.
I don't want to brick the phone,that's why I'm asking again...so, please, tell me which option should I choose.
Thank you in advance...
Your phone doesn't need to be unlocked to update the firmware
as above, the phone doesn't need to be unlocked.
However, if your phone is using branded carrier firmware, you can not update to a newer generic firmware and must wait for your carrier to release the updated version.
If your phone is running generic firmware, then you can just update to newer generic firmware no probs.

Thanks! You mean that if my phone is on Vodafone RO, I can upgrade only with a Vodafone RO firmware?! If I try to put a non-branded firmware will not work?
Thank you...

Hello.
Me too I am curious about changing my firmware.
My phone is carrier locked. But I want to use a non branded firmware.
Did you tried? It is possible without bricking my phone?
After flashing a non branded firmware I will be able to use SIM cards from other carriers?

Hey guys,
I recently rooted my S2 and installed a custom ROM because i was sick of waiting for Samsung to release ICS in my region ( Also i love stock ICS ).
Recently they released ICS in my region so i went to sammobiles to download the firmware.
My Question is that do PDA and CSC change for each new version of android released or am i supposed to wait for the firmware with the same PDA and CSC as the version i was using.
Also I wanted to know if I could flash firmware of different region on the phone without it having any errors
Thank you.

u can flash any stock rom ...
The only small issue you might face if you flash stock firmware for a different region is you may not be able to get OTA updates for your region when they're released. But it's easy enough to flash them via Odin so this isn't a massive problem.

Hi everyone,
I need a stock rom for my phone. Before update OTA firmware 450MB (camera improvement) I have stock rom version v10a-222-10. After update, my stock rom version v10b-222-10. Where can I find this version of rom v10a-222-10? I check this site... //lg-firmwares.com/lg-h840-firmwares/
Hi !
You can find stock rom on the link you provided. Then, you have to use LG Up with Uppercut :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295
I manage to downgrade from 7.0 to 6.0 (even if it was a bit difficult). Btw, may i ask you a question : why do you want to downgrade ? This update seemed to be good, plus it bring february security patch and camera improvement.
I bought the lg g5 se one week ago and i also get this update !
I always think that the new update stock firmware more demanding than the old stock firmware... Correct me if I'm wrong? Phone works well, but it's the only reason why I want to do this...
Which version you download and installed? Can I install other stock rom from list? Can i install this version H84010b_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0222.kdz? Does not exist this version H84010a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0222.kdz?

Hello, I would suggest you to download the newest version from v10, i mean the following versions of v10a( v10b and so on) so if v10b is the most recent version of v10 then go for it. If you have the chance to download v10c for example, go for that one
Have you tried any of these versions? Which version do you use?

you need LGUP + uppercut to able to flash H840
and a firmware from https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h840-firmwares/ in KDZ, which is official format from LG
it's no Austrian firmware there (my phone from Drei), while exist from other EU countries(my last update was from 2017-03-08 - and it's Italian, UK there)
also exist a Android 7(H84020xxx) for EU/SouthAmerica
upd: ROM is the same for all EU, but it's include additional software from mobile operators, which is different

Hi. Can flash LG G5 H848 with LG G5 H840 ROM?
Mine is running on 10.3.13.0 PFQEUXM or Europe rom. Im trying to install custom recovery and root it later. I'm in the process of downloading the files like the fastboot rom just incase i have to go back to stock or if something goes wrong. I also prefers to use global rom since im not in the Europe region. My question is if its okay to flash Global version or will it brick the device?

I heard somebody accidentally flashed EU ROM on global version of the device when restoring the device using MiFlash.
While it did not brick the phone, the wifi Mac address get messed up. So I don't recommend you to try this.
It is better to flash the ROM that correspond to your device varient, just in case something goes bad.
Switching between EU/GLOBAL works fine, it doesn't brick anything. When I tried it I had to perform factory reset, otherwise the phone did not boot up. So far no one came with confirmed list of differences, it is being speculated that EU ROM has better privacy protection due to more strict EU laws and that headphones volume is limited to conform the EU laws. But again, there hasn't been provided a single proof for these claims and it seems that they are functionally the same, sharing the same features (and bugs). In the past months, Global version received OTA update few days in advance of EU, but the latest update arrived at the same time. Personally I don't have any problem with the EU ROM.
Thanks guys, i was able to install global rom and twrp + root without any problem. One thing i noticed is that EU is on v10.3.13 and global is 10.3.12,but both of them has the December security patch so no worries.
Hey everyone. I'm a proud new owner of a Realme 6. I bought it as being a global version (model RMX2001) 4/128GB.
I updated but found out that the firmware version was RMX2001_11.B.33. I think it must be a Russian Version even though I bought it through a spanish online retailer, since the box comes in russian.
I checked and there was a version for the Indian Region (RMX2001_11.B.37)with the same changelog as the one for the European Region (RMX2001_11.B.34). I downloaded the firmware for the European Region (RMX2001_11.B.34) and updated through the recovery mode.
Can someone explain to me what are the consequences of doing such a thing since I updated a RMX2001 model with a RMX2001EU model? Also, does this mean that from now on I'll get the OTA updates for the RMX2001EU model, European Region or only the ones for the RMX2001 model, whatever region I got?
Any other input regarding this subject is deeply appreciated. I'm curious more than anything. Thanks!
my phone is also a eu model, and didnt get the latest update to.
what i did is realme.com india region/market and find the o.zip RMX2001_11.B.37 and installed
everything working just fine for me. so i think all those phones are just the same..

I got my phone from amazon spain. I live in switzerland.
The latest OTA was B.30 for me. I downloaded B.37 from Realme Site and also updated via recovery.
Everything works however.
The hardware is definitely the same in all phones. But somethings still different. Some phones are able to unlock bootloader (india models I think) while EU models cant.

I definitely updated my Global Version with the EU Firmware. And in the settings I have the RMX2001_11.B.34 Version (which is actually the same as the RMX2001_11.B.37 according to the changelog, but not the size). I prefer the EU version since it may have less bloatware and ads due to the European restrictions. Also, I live in Portugal so I think it's better to use the EU version, unless a more recent version is available.

That's the strange part. It seems all roms are interchangeable, but then, what are the differences? Actually, how can one know what is their region? I say mine must be from Russia due to the text in the box and it also had a russian app installed. I updated with the EU rom and the model still is RMX2001 (not RMX2001EU), but the version is RMX2001_11.B.34. So I used a RMX2001EU_11.B.34 rom and it updated to the RMX2001_11.B.34 (missing the EU part). Furthermore, all package names and MD5 checksum are the same, when compared. Therefore, I actually think it is all the same and one can use any rom to update.

I didnt even realize that I downloaded the "non EU" rom from the india site. I honestly dont know if I had an EU rom when I first booted up my phone. I dont remember seeing EU in the OTA settings. However the latest OTA for me was the b.30, which is why I updated to b.37 manually because i thought higher number = latest update
Yeah its very weird. I only know that there is a global and an india version of the phone. We definitely have the global one or else we would have trouble with the 4g signal (or at least me here in switzerland)
EDIT: I think im a little confused now. I think you mean you had the RMX2001EU_11.A.34 (with the A)
There is A and B. Probably A for global and B for india
on 4pda forum some members mention that RU firmware supports "call recording", in all other roms(incl. EU) thats restricted due legal laws

You're right. I updated with the RMX2001EU_11.A.34 firmware version. Actually, I must have updated to the RMX2001_11.B.33 via OTA and then by updating with the RMX2001EU_11.B.34, I ended up with the build number RMX2001_11.A.34. At least that's what shows up.
I honestly think we can use whichever we want that any will work. I'll stick to the EU versions.

So supposedly, you downgraded... This is definitely weird! ahah As long as nothing is bricked, it's fine. At least we know that we can update with any version.

Well, both versions are supposed to bring the very same updates. I'd rather wanted to be on EU version too, even if its just for the file name and nothing else lol. My phone probably shipped with the A version and I mistakenly updated it to B
if you look at the changelog it is the same for both versions

Hi. I want to buy a realme 6 in Spain but I need to record calls. The EU version does not allow to record calls, but the Indian Rom does include call recording. I have read that you installed the Indian version, can you see if you have the option to record calls?
To change rom is just install? There is no need to open bootloader, right? Can the Indian Rom be used in any country? I want to use in Spain
Thank you very much.

But I think it is only necessary to change the EU rom to a RU or Indian Rom. Do I need to unlock bootloader just to switch to a Rom from another country? It's strange...
