Given that India got OneUI 5 out days ago and my country firmware (TPA) hasn't gotten it, how can I flash India firmware and retain stability but in latest OneUI?
Samsung's firmware release cycle varies by region. I would advise you to wait patiently instead of looking for service incompatibility issues.

Interestingly enough I have not seen any posts about ALF3. Seems most talk is about ALF2 and ALF6.
I got my phone with ALF2 and ran the update and got ALF3..
Anyone else on ALF3, should ALF6 be available? It's not for me.

Firmware version and update interval depend on your geographic location, installed firmware and carrier. It can take several months for certain regions to get newer versions.
Just flash the firmware of your choice through Odin and you're good to go if you care about being on the newest one.

I am using the international SCH-I9300 on an AT&T MVNO (Straight Talk) in the USA.
Thanks for your suggestion, I usually stick to stock rooted, but will look into what fixes features ALF6 has over ALF3 before proceeding. Being that the phone is still new to me, I like it as it is

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.

Will I get OTA updates if i access the update list from that region ?
Hi Guys
I have a SGSII, which I got in Hong Kong a couple of years ago. It came pre-installed with Stock Samsung Firmware ICS 4.0.3. I currently living in the UK and was wondering if I did a Firmware update using Kites, would it install you UK version of the firmware instead of the HK version?
If it's got the HK firmware/CSC on it, it will update to the latest for that region; where you are now is irrelevant, it reads the CSC info off the phone to determine what firmware to upgrade to, assuming there is a later firmware for that region.
But it's a moot point. Why would you use Kies for anything ? Flash whatever stock rom for whatever region you want with Odin.

To be honest, I am a noobie when it comes to the advanced aspects of android devices. So I've always followed the mantra of always following the manufacturer's instructions to the letter. Also I don't want to loose all my user data for my game of Asphalt g
So I have ordered my Pocophone F1 a few days ago and found that you can install google camera on it, but the most updated one needs a certain ROM version or higher to be able to use it, so I went searching on xiaomi forums and found that, that specific rom version Global Stable ROM V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI i'snt released in my country Kindly Note- This update V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI not released to SOUTH KOREA & PORTUGUESE so this is where my questions surge...
Is there any way that this update shows up OTA, like per example, if I change my region, will it make the update show on the ota update app?
If not, can I flash it and will I still get OTA updates ?
Why is the ROM not released in my region ?
And can me getting this ROM on my phone affect anything ? Like data connection, language or apps ?
Thank you!
As Pie is being distributed, the UK are still waiting for their 'slice' of pie. I am on EE (T-Mobile) can I download another countries ROM? I did flash a different country ROM on my S7 years ago and it worked fine but just wondering if anyone has tried it with Pie?

I've flashed the German version (crl1) and working fine but I am on the international device (BTU) so you might need a different version? Sorry I can't be more sure!
If you can find the right version then research how to use Odin and download the software from Sammobile.
Last thing is when it is released in the UK, you will need fo ensure you flash back to a UK version to recieve OTA updates going forward
