Hello All,
Please I want to know the consequences of flashing the rom of another region on your Samsung device. Let me explain why I ask this
So recently I upgraded my Samsung j7 Pro (J730GM) to Android 8.1 Oreo and that update changed the binary version of my device to 5 (i.e. J730GMDXU5) so I tried downgrading the phone back to 7.0 but that did not work because Samsung has not released an Android 7.0 Nougat firmware with binary version 5 so downgrading the normal way was quite impossible.
Now I recently found out that Samsung has released an Android 7.0 Nougat firmware with binary version 5 but the region/country it was released for is Mexico while my phone's region is Thailand.
Now my question is, is it possible to downgrade my J7 Pro with the Mexico firmware although my device's region is Thailand because they are both binary version 5? If yes, what are the possible consequences?
Hello, can't update over the air and now have to do it manually.
Model No: Samsung SM-G930A
Android V : 6.0.1
BaseBand : G930AuCS2APC2
How do I update this to the newest android possible (I think it's called OREO).
Please and thank you!!!!
I think I posted this in the wrong section, I meant to publish in the Help section.
Hello there's a new thread on updating the device Nougat 7.0, as for Oreo 8.0 I am working on it.
Hello ,
I have a galaxy S7 G930F
I used to run android 7.0 and rooted with CF ROOT, after a stupid mistake OF OEM UNLOCK I got the RFP lock & i didnt know how to fix it without loosing data , So I flashed it but to Android 8.0 OREO , and I did an update from Samsung official to the latest version of security patch
Nevertheless, I want to root my phone ! but I'm confused as I mentioned in the title which file I should download from firmware.mobi ?
PHONE : GALAXY S7 G930F
SAMSUNG EXPERIENCE : 9.0
BASEBAND VERSION : G930FXXU3ERKF
BUILD NUMBER: R16NW.G930FXXU3ERL3
in software update this is what is written :

SO which file I should use from firmware.mobi to root my G930F ?
Thank you and sorry for long post!

Hello,
i have one of my old phone ( which i use only for Google maps purpose). its AT&T version phone ( unlocked after contract is expired)
Model Number: Samsung-SM-G925A
Andriod Version: 7.0
Baseband Version: G925AUCS7ERC1
I have recently upgraded the phone from old version to Andriod 7 ( by keeping valid at&t sim)
after the upgrade i see battery life got degraded a lot
Is there a way that i can upgrade my current phone to Latest andriod ( verion 8 or 9) . if so how can i do it ?
You can do it only using a custom ROM. S6 will not receive any updates
are there any custom roms for s6 edge available ? where can i get it
Yes, there are many custom ROM: Resurrection Remix and LineageOS are the most famous. I advise you Ultimate Oreo Note 8 port, you can find it on XDA. I can't submit the link of it, but you can simple find it
can u please give me the url of the post so that i will look into it and install
I can't, it's invalid for XDA. You can simply find "Ultimate Oreo note 8 port v.1 s6 " with Google, it's the first XDA result.
Also, note that S6 Edge battery is terrible, mostly after most time. Custom ROM probably wouldn't help you a lot
is this one ?

Yes is this
I want to know if I can flash a firmware on my phone using a firmware from a different region with a different Android version.
I want to upgrade the Android version of my phone from Android 7.0 Nougat to Android 8.1.0 Oreo or possibly Android 9 Pie, but the available firmware with the same PDA as my phone is only Android 7.0 Nougat.
My phone's PDA is J701FXXU4ARB3.
