[Q] Upgrade / Baseband / CSC / Build - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
My device is branded as O2 and was bought in the UK then unlocked.
Model number
SM-G925F
Baseband
G925FXXU1AOCW
Build number
LRX22G.G925FXXU1AOCV
CSC
G925FTEF1AOC1
I've been an HTC User since the Desire HD, through to One X, One, One M8 then the one M9 which was such a letdown , I just bought an edge.
Here's my question.
My wife got the 6S as her upgrade and she's on 5.1.1 via OTA on a G920F with G920FXXU2BOFJ baseband.
Mine is still on 5.0.2 and it is absolutely infuriating that mine does not have an A-Z sort available in the app drawer, yet of course, hers does!
I have come to the conclusion I need 5.1.1 to get this option, however whenever I prompt OTA or via Samsung application on Windows - it claims I'm up to date.
Here's my question:
Do I absolutely need to wait for a 5.1.1 firmware to become available matching my baseband, build and csc or can i install any carrier free firmware via odin that matches my model number?
Thanks in advance peeps.

You can install any firmware for your specific device, carrier free or for specific supplier, 02 etc. I am in UK and use the latest 5.1.1 BTU firmware.

Thanks for the response. Is my specific device just categorised by the phone itself, galaxy edge? Or only items with the SM-G925F model number?

S3 from Qatar

Now i bought my S3 from the middle east (Qatar) because it got released there a week before launch.. and i am happy with it so far.
However, we never receive the latest OTA updates, and kies points to the latest middle eastern rom (which is old).. Do i have to update manually to get the latest ROMs for the United Kingdom? And will the phone always update with the UK roms after doing that or will it just keep giving OTA's based on the middle east?
Thanks.
Bloop
I will try to be more clear, I'll put the latest UK firmware on my phone, i live in Qatar.
Will i get the UK updates from now on instead of the Middle eastern ones?
I was running into the same situation (I'm currently in Dubai), all you have to do is to change your CSC (your region) just google How to change Samsung galaxy phones CSC
and you will find its pretty easy

Thank you very much for replying.
Now here's how i understand this, i need to flash "I9300OXABLG8" (Latest for UK CSC) in ODIN under the "CSC" tab.
Then connect Kies and it'll prompt to update to the latest UK rom.. right?
Or is it *#272*Device IMEI# and then BTU ?

Can I know the stock android version of my S3 basing on IMEI and/or Serial Number?

Hi guys,
Can I know the stock firmware and region of my S3 by the IMEI and Serial number? I ask becuase i recently got a 2nd hand S3 and the person i got it from said that he already updated it with a jellybean version from poland.
I'm currently living in China, and from reading the forums, flashing with a new ROM will change the region of the phone based on the model number. I just want to know if its possible for me to know the exact stock information/region of my phone.
Thanks!

G925F Original Product Code and firmware?

In an attempt to get Android M on my unbranded Romanian G925F I flashed a 5.1.1 BTU firmware with Odin. While everything went smooth with flashing I noticed my mobile data doesn't work any longer. I get the 4G icon but have no internet access. Wi-Fi works. Beta for Android M is closed so I'd rather return to my previous original firmware.
Out of sheer ignorance I didn't write down the original product code... how should I go about restoring my phone to it's original factory shipped firmware which worked without issues?
Please point me in the right direction, I tried downloading some Romanian firmwares from sammobile but after flashing through Odin my product code is still BTU and mobile data still doesn't work.
Thanks
if you use samsung smartswitch (latest version of kies) it automatic return to 5.1.1.............sorry now i know what you mean look here............http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925F/
Your initial product code should be ORO

Isn't ORO for Orange branded? I tried Kies 3, entered my phone model, then it asked for a serial number and it downloaded a firmware which proved to be a german DBT one. Mobile data still doesn't work so I will have to try something different.
What if I go to a mobile phone shop, ask to look at an Edge similar to mine and get it's product code and serial number? By providing those to Kies will it enable me to get the same firmware as the one running on the shop phone?

Sorry, my fault, I missed the part when you said it's unbranded. Indeed ORO is for Orange branded phones, yours should be different and based on my searches should be ROM

Device model SM-G925F or SM-G925P? Upgrading to Android 6.0

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone out there can help me out with my problem!
So I bought my phone in Malaysia and in settings -> about device -> Model number, I found out I have a SM-G925F phone. Running on 5.1.1 and baseband version G925FXXU3COI9. Now back home in the Netherlands I was waiting for a Android update but did not get any through OTA or SmartSwich. So I was looking into flashing it manually through Odin. Then in download mode I noticed that my phone had a different model number SM-G925P! Which is the American Sprint model number for the Samsung S6 Edge if I am not mistaken. I downloaded the app “Sammobile device info” and Phone Info *Samsung* as well and they both state I have a SM-G925P model with baseband number: G925PVPU2BOF7.
Which model do I actually own? I want to flash it since I also have a CSC CHN(china) code and I just want to flash it with a PHN Dutch android 6.0 firmware. Can I do this or will I soft/hardbrick my phone?
Hello, I have got the same problem.
What is You choice?
Have You been upgraded firmware?
Can I convert My S6 EDGE SM-G925P to SM-G925F ???

Samsung S9 Plus SM-G965U1 (Sprint Unlocked) One UI Update

Hello Everyone,
I have Samsung galaxy S9 SM-G965U1 (Sprint Unlocked variant currenty running on 8.0 Oreo Build.
Its USA Region model but currently being used in Pakistan, I believe thats why I am not getting new One UI update.
Now I want to install the One UI 9.0 Update manually via Odin but I don't know which version to install.
It is currently running on G965U1UEU3ARG7 build, when I checked with Smart Switch it was showing "Software is up to date RG7(XAA)". As per my knowledge I should search Sm-g965u1 on SamMobile and then select Unknown (XAA) in country for the right version of One UI build but I am not sure.
I would appreciate if you guys please check CSC and frimware details and suggest the right version for my Galaxy s9 Plus.
AP: G965U1UEU3ARG7
CP: G965USQU3ARG2
CSC: G965U1OYM3ARG7
THANKS,
I recommend the(XAA)
USE ODIN PATCH B3 TO UPDATE

If your using a Sprint phone that is unlocked you can choose the newest one under the Sprint (SPR) filter or the XAA filter. In either case CSD4 is the latest version released
If you look at the firmware using the links below (XAA and SPR filter) the CSC entry you listed s always gonna start along the lines of G965U1OYM for the G965U1 phone. The number after the letter M is going to represent the bootloader version, and that increases to a higher number over time. The final 4 characters are going to be related to the android version.

Also, please suggest the right ODIN version to install this firmware, would appreciate if you please share the link to the right version of ODIN for my Galaxy S9+ SM-G965U1 for Android 9 update (G965U1UES4CSD4 ).
