Flash different country firmware without root - Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers

Hi, I would like to buy the Tab S6 256GB LTE version, but in Brazil we only have the 128GB one. Can I flash the brazilian the brazilian firmware (128 to 256)? Also, can I do it without root? Basically I would like to "transform" it in the brazilian version. Thanks!

yes. via ODIN software you can flash any original firmware without loosing the "original" status. you should only take care that the "radio" part is compatible and the firmware is for the exactely same model!

Thank you! What do you mean same model? Because the brazilian version would have a different model number than the British one, I think...

model number should be the same. maybe different model numbers could accept different firmware but with some risk and possible downsides.
first: check the model number by the seller point.
mine i.e. is: sm-t860
then you can start searching compatibility on the forum.

I think I may know the answer already, but if I buy the American T-Mobile version 865, will I be able to flash a different firmware and be able to unlock bootloader and root?

[Q] d620 vs. d620r

What are the differences between D620 and D620r ?
And if I have D620, can i unlock bootloader with this method ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/bootloader-unlock-t2827748
Las one. Will be here some step by step tutorial how to unlock the D620 phone?
Thank you very much
Is your D620 branded? If so, your carrier may have removed the 'r' on software level, meaning that the hardware may be D620r.
Either way, the BL unlock method should work.

Ok thank you ...and what about that step by step unlock? can anyone please do it?

I think, that i will wait for another method and for more ROMs ...but thank you ...
I have branded D620, and in hardware information it says "D620". As Vagelis1608 says, it may be d620r, but who knows. Anyway, this method successfully unlocked my BL.
Unlocking isn't that hard, just read every step carefully, and inform yourself about steps you don't understand. When you're sure in what you're doing, then unlock it.

No. Only D625 needs a different method.
BTW, I thought that in Greece we only have D620r. Where did you get a D620fr?

Here in Greece, we don't have LTE, so no 4G (with this phone)
((Some carriers advertise that they have 4G, but their's only works on few phones)

In order for 4G to work on this phone, your provider has to support LTE.
In my case (Cosmote GR) only supports GSM.

Hi guys, I have a g2 mini 620r model and I only have 2.6gb user usable? What the heck? Internal storage is reported as 3.87gb and I only have 2.6 free from the start. How is yours? Thanks.

You probably have installed a big game or two which are taking up your memory.
Or, if your phone is branded, then your carrier may have pre-installed a lot [email protected] on it.

It's new. I did not installed anything. Also I only have a couple of apps. Not many. How much of free space do you have. I'm afraid there's something wrong with it…

What is your internal storage reporing? Mine is reporting that I have 3.87gb storage, aprox 500mb apps and 2.6gb free usable. 500mb of apps and I did not installed any apps. What the heck...

How safe is to do a manual update?

Since Huawei does not "want" to update my mediapad with ota (I'm stucked to version 8.0.0.161 (june security patch) while in HFF three new release are available (181, 183 and 186 but just the first is approved for my version), I like to know if a manual update is a safe procedure.
If I understand well it should be enough to download the OTA (or maybe the full ota is better?), uncompress under the dload folder and reboot.
Is this true?
How high is the possibility of a brick?
Are the ota downloadable from hff really safe?
Thanks in advance.

I've manually updated my MediaPad 5 8.4 (SHT-AL09) every time a new update is released. I'm currently running variant c432 and rom version 8.0.0.191.
I use the procedure I posted several months ago:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77177717&postcount=4
This procedure require an unlocked bootloader, right?

Also unless I'm mistaken, funkyhuawei can't do anything if you have a Qualcomm chipset (which I have) so make sure you look into that before paying.
During vacation in China, I bought an 8x, now I wonder which of the many firmware updates from the linked site, I should apply to it to get it 'globalised'?
Model is JSN-AL00, and it is running build JSN-AL00 8.2.0.133(C00).
Can any of you point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,

Not possible, the U series phones use a snapdragon processor and the F models use the Exynos. They arent cross compatible. Just flash the U1 for your phone

Thank you, I have the same scenario, SM-965U (unlocked with Verizon) on a different country.

no problem, and while its not what is traditionally called a "ROM" per say, the 965U can comfortably run on this firmware https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...SM-G965U1/TMK/download/G965U1UEU6CSH7/294847/

Unfortunately after installing that firmware I got the Shut Down after locking with fingerprint issue (documented here among other sites: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/reboots-shutdowns-fingerprint-scanner-t3856346).
It happened after it got updated to PPR1.180610.011.G965U1UEU6CSI1.
So I'll try to flash a different firmware... :crying:

Do you know if it's possible to downgrade to Stock 8.0 using odin from stock 9.0? I tried this approach, but odin wouldn't do anything...Nothing installed. Anyone knows the reason?

Well, it would be best to say things bluntly so that you do not try in vain. Depending on your firmware version, the bootloader is in version 6 and therein lies the problem.
If the firmware you download has a different bootloader than the one you currently have, you will not be able to flash. You can if you have a lower bootlaoder and upgrade to a higher one, but not from top to bottom
Android Oreo seems to me that it does not have its bootloader higher than version 3 or 4 (I don't remember well) and Android Pie will soon update the bootloader to version 7. For now it is impossible to flash an Oreo rom if you have your device updated
To know what your bootloader number is, you must count four characters after your model, the fourth is the version number. In your case it is G965FXXU>6<CSGD

Unfortunately.. you can't officially downgrade because of the bootloader version.
