Docomo NTT Samsung Galaxy S5 Active Model: SC-02G GT-870D - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi Guys!
I was curious with this Docomo NTT Samsung S5 Active. May I know what will happen if I used different Firmware like AT&T G870A or G870W. It is possible to work normaly my device with same model of phone? Or it will be complicated? Since the phone is same model Samsung Galaxy Active but different Region. Please help! Thanks in Advanced ;D

hmmmm this post is very old I think it is possible to work normal since the unit is different model. Please try used ODIN and download the firmware you want to try. Just note get the stack firmware also so if the program not work normally you can put it back to old firmware again.

Hi ,
Don't flash this ROM for Indonesia version of Note 2.
The boot loader for China Note 2 is different from International ones.
There are strong reasons, that you may brick your phone. Thanks
Hi there,
Sorry to resurrect a month old thread. I just wanted to chuck my findings at this as I have recently received a GT-N7100 CHN N7100ZCUEMK3 Galaxy Note 2 as a birthday present from my wife. And if anybody could recommend any suggestions that would be great!
As I now live in the UK as opposed to China I was getting frustrated that I couldn't use Google Play and the default search engine is Baidu and can't be changed to Google, so i've been trying for the past few days to flash it but it just won't work.
I've been downloading only the official stock roms for the international N7100 and so far i've tried 10 versions from various regions (Europe, UK, India, US) and none of them work. Some fail the moment you hit start on Odin, others will go through the entire process and fail at the end - thus soft bricking my mobile.
Luckily I have been able to use Kies to restore it - which I've installed on the laptop as opposed to my PC which is doing the flashing - but this just puts it back to Chinese mode.
I should also note that the China version is Knox enabled - mine is now burned so anybody else trying this really ought to be careful.

Sorry to resurrect so old thread, but I have an exact same phone with that firmware from China, and wanted to put either the international version or cyanogenmod on it. So did you ever get anything besides China roms installed?

[Q] Adding languages

Hi there,
i have purchased a Canadian version of the Galaxy TAB S 10.5 (16gb Wi-Fi only). Is there any possibility to add or unlock other languages (e.g. german) in system? All information i got, was about rooting the device and downloading an app like "more locale 2" or "language enabler". But i don't know if this works with the Galaxy TAB S. Are there any experiences with this device until now?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Maybe you could flash another region of Galaxy Tab S Rom with Odin... but it is at your own risk !
Some exemple here :

You should flash your tab s to hong kong's rom. you can get the roms on sammobile/firmware. just google it
I have a US model T-807T and need to add Bosnian. Issue is I think it uses different processor than overseas models so I cant flash another rom

I only knows its model number (i mentioned above) and this cell phone is manufactured in Vietnam and I purchased this phone in New Zealand. Kindly help me out. waiting for your prompt and positive reply.

Flash SM-A520F/DS with a SM-A520F firmware?

Hello there,
Recently I bought a Samsung A5 2017 in Indonesia (model dual sim) and would like to know if it's possible to put a french firmware (so a firmware of SM-A520F) on SM-A520F/DS model?
Thanks for your help

It would be wiser to use dual sim firmware rather than single sim firmware

Thanks but I don't find any dual sim firmware even on Sammobile....
Is there a risk of brick if I flash with a single sim firmware? Or maybe there's another solution?

I was worried too but I tried to use the normal a520f firmware and it worked fine.
BTW Some apps may not work because they will assume you are rooted eg. S HEALTH and secret mode on browser but you can actually root to get around this by editing a line in build.prop
I'm on the same boat, only with the A3: I've bought my phone as an A320F/DS (that's what the box says, and indeed it has double SIM), but when you check Settings--»About phone--»Model name, it only says A320F (without the DS). And then when you look for firmware updates in Samsung website, you only find for the A320F. Might it be that A320F/DS is only a second, alternative denomination for the A320F, being both identical? (Same would happen with the A7.)

It's one year since your question, but still my answer may help others:
I've flashed a SM-A320F stock firmware on my SM-A320F/DS and it works perfectly. I believe that the A series firmwares are exactly the same for single SIM and dual SIM models.
In trying to sort this out for the s7 g935f/ds, I believe I was told that indeed the F firmware is the correct firmware for both 1 and 2 sim models. There was no FDS firmware at all.

[HOW TO] Flash U1 firmware on F device... is it possible?

So hello guys! I just bought a used Galaxy S9 after almost 3 years with my iPhone 7. I'm so happy to be back with Android since my phone before iP7 was the Galaxy S5. But unfortunately it was locked to a carrier in the Philippines (cause I'm from here so it's Globe locked). I've done some rooting and stuff with my S5 before and flashing firmware so doing this again might need some familiarizing.
I've done some slight research and somehow I didn't find any, or maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. There were different versions of the G960 but the one I easily familiarized with was the U and U1 which were the locked and unlocked versions...
Is it possible to unlock my phone by flashing a firmware? My model number is SM-G960F btw... thanks guys!

do not flash the U1 firmware on a G960F device! Teh F devices have the Exynos processor and the U versions have the snapdragon and are therefore incompatible regarding firmwares. The G960F is the international unlocked version. Go into the settings and factory reset it from within the operating system, download the latest G960F using the frija or samfirm tool with the modified Odin for your desired cell provider. Standard Odin will likely give you errors
