Hi there all.
I'm trying to decide if to buy the A21s, and which variant is more likely to be supported by custom rom developers.
I saw there are 3 variants
Versions:
SM-A217F/DS (International);
SM-A217M/DS (USA);
SM-A217F/DSN (Russia)
I believe that in my country I would be getting either the International or the Russian version
(if imported by companied other than the official Samsung representative).
Needless to say, devices imported by the official representative are priced higher than the ones imported by other companies.
(approx. 15%-20% difference)
So - as I asked in the subject -
Which of the variants is more likely to be supported by custom ROM developers ?
SM-A217F/DS (International);
or
SM-A217F/DSN (Russia)
Thanks

Hi,
I plan to buy from a friend a phone samsung galaxy s7 sm-g930a that was bought from ebay.
But what I need is an international rom in order to have it on my local full language , like samsung sm-g930F model.
Is it possible to install an an international rooted stock rom on Samsung galaxy S7 sm-g930A ?
I yes then how to do it?
Thanks
The phone you're ordering, from the model number, is a phone with a Qualcomm processor. You can't use custom ROMs or unlock the bootloader on Samsung phones that use Qualcomm processors due to security measures.
However, you can root these variants, and, depending on your local language, you'll probably be able to select the language from the settings menu without having to use a different ROM. Just go through Settings>General management>Language and input>Language>Add language and see if you can find the language.
I'm in the US, but have a Samsung Galaxy S9+ SM-G9650/DS unlocked "International Version" bought from Amazon, running firmware G9650ZCU3ARK1, which I believe means it's Region "Open China" and uses Snapdragon not Exynos. I want to upgrade Android Oreo to Android 9 Pie, and there's no schedule given for availability of the upgrade for this config/region.
I'm with T-Mobile and I think I can flash G960USQS3BRK2, which is for Region "TMK USA", and convert the phone to a US version, thereafter allowing upgrade to Android 9 Pie in January 2019. And I'd prefer to have a US phone anyway.
My basic question is whether my plan will work, and/or, are there any gotchas I need to know about
(S9 vs S9+, Snapdragon vs Exynos, locked/unlocked, T-Mobile vs Samsung Experience, some apps might not work, etc)?
Thx, Gus
Hi.
There's a thread regarding this topic in this forum. As far as I've read and understood, the short answer to your question is no, it's not possible to flash the beta on our devices. We, G9650 owners (excluding China users), will most likely have to wait until the stable version releases in January. :crying:
I'm not thinking of flashing the Beta, but the release version when it comes out in January - G

All G965U and U1 models have locked bootloaders. There is no way to enable OEM Unlock.
You can't use G965F files on it since the hardware is completely different.
Always check for VoLTE compatibility before buying. The G965U/U1 is intended for US markets only.
Hi i have Samsung galaxy s9+ , probably from Verizon (By thw SW version).
The phone is currently being used outside United States.
I want to know the differences between the following official firmware, and understand which is the best for my use.
1. G965U(CCT) - Currently installed on the phone (Carrier open)
2. G965U(VZW)
3. G965U1(XAA)
4. G965U1(VZW)
I think that 2 is the original firmware that was on the device at first.
Is it better to install it on the phone? Is it carrier locked?
-
Is there any difference between 3 and 4 or is it the same firmware?
-
What is the difference between the Carrier Open G965U (like xfinity) to G965U1?
so install it and report to us.
Hey there,
I wanted to buy a Realme GT, but I don't know the differences between all those variants. I'm unsure, if I would be buying a smartphone, which would for example have a lack of some network frequencies I had to use, currently living in Germany.
Could anyone provide me some help? Also, I wanted to root this phone and get some mods, are there any specific variant ones or are they working on all phones?
Would be really nice, if I could get some help, thanks in advance
Realme GT GLOBAL -> have all languages, 5G almost all bands except united states and china Comes with google play
Realme GT EU (or Indian version) it does have lots of languages but for example it don't have portuguese(brazil) language. it does have all bands like realme gt global. It includes some apps or stuff that is related to indian and euro market. Come with google play
Realme GT CN - Chinese variant it comes with google play services installed but no google play store. It comes with a bunch of chinese apps that are kinda useless
Both EU ,CN and Global version will have all 5G bands in germany. (Cn version have less two 4G bands so its recommended to use O2 KPN provider)
All variants can be rooted homeweaver its not recommended as realme didnt released kernel sources yet so there is no twrp (and that make rooting and updating system very HARD without bricking)
Also it is not the best device to root as you will lose in screen fingerprint after rooting.
If you want to look for a phone to root, see oneplus or xiaomi or wait realme community grow with custom roms that can use fingerprint while rooted
Here you can compare different band and combination support:
Global: https://cacombos.com/device/RMX2202_11
China: https://cacombos.com/device/RMX2202
I recommend buy Global version if you will use device outside from China.

I just recently got one online for a real decent price thinking that I could load custom ROMs and all but there's nothing out there. Is there any hope for this device or is it better to just get rid of it and get another device which is more likely to be supported in the long run?

I am thinking of buying the Chinese version of this cell phone but I am somewhat hesitant about the issue of google services and updates, you say that it comes with google services installed but without the play store, so google apps and their services will work without problems if I only install the playstore?
