A505G model, can I flash A505F firmware? - Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers

My A50 Version is the Latin America, non-nfc version. It seems to be a little slower in receiving updates as the A505F model so I was wondering if I can just flash the later firmware on mine? Both models are non NFC.

You can flash through odin, not a problem at all.
I did the same with my A505f

Great, thanks!

I believe your phone is an exynos , eh?

Yes, basically the same specs as the a505f version, except it seems like the a505g has more lte bands enabled?

is this true? if yes i wanna try it

im not able to flash fn version on a g device.

hey, so I tried to flash the A505G firmware today using ODIN but it keeps hanging while trying to flash it.

Where are you getting stuck? I believe to flash alternative firmware than the device came with, you need an unlocked bootloader. Is your bootloader unlocked? i was able to flash a505gn on my a505g, but my bootloader was unlocked.

I was able to flash back to official firmware and my ota is working again, so maybe next time i do a full wipe ill try a505fn on my a505g.

How true is that?

Yes, my bootloader is already unlocked but I think I have to change my CSC region first.

How can a software compensate for the absence of a hardware chip? NFC is a hardware supported feature.

Bootloader status has nothing to do with Odin flashing. You can literally flash any stock images through Odin on locked BL provided they are for the same model. Flashing a different model firmware is just asking for troubles.

Well I have seen other flash different models to get faster updates. The A505G receives updates almost 1 month behind the A505F, even though the phones are almost identical hardware wise.

Note 7 "F" firmware on "FD" duos dual sim phone

Hello,
I have bought n7 N930FD dual sim.
In system languages, I only have 10 languages.
1. How can i add more languages? I want to have my native language
2. since my region is different how can iI try to get autonomic OTA?
3. If I Odin flush my region firmware an "N930F" on my "N930FD" , will i loose OTA and dual sim functuality?
Thank you
you have to flash another ROM that contains your language. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N930F/
Strange. Same model but with more than 10. What are your current PDA and CSC?

You will be reciveing OTAs from the new CSC code flashed, just make sure you factory reset your phone to ensure OTA future receiving.
So in other words it is completely safe to flash N930F firmware over the FD phone from other region bearing in mind it needs to be factory reset, correct? Will I lose dual sim feature?

Well. Sammobile doesn't have a ROM list for FD. So I guess you have no choice but to use F.
Edit:
I checked my PDA and CSC on sammobile and found my ROM under the F ROM list.
i have a similar question, if i flash a 930f firmware over a 930fd device then ill have any issue flashing 930f roms in my 930fd device? i dont care about dual sim.

There is no separate ROM for the FD. It is the same ROM of the single SIM F model.
The ROM will automatically configure itself to work with the device accordingly.

You are right!!!
I did not see that...and i did that search many times.
So i can flush "F" on "FD"? or this mean Samsung did not yet release FD firmware?
By the way your screenshot is of the stock or did you flushed ROM?

Stock and as you can see the PDA and CSC all state that my ROM is F. Even the XDA app says I have the F model. It is weird but this is how it is.
Just make sure you are flashing something that has your area language and baseband.
I have a feeling that the ROMs of the F & FD phone editions are the same, you will not find separate lists for both versions in any ROM hosting sites (Sammobile, Samfirmware....etc) . In addition to the SAMFIRM ROM downloader tool I used to download the full ROMs which only recognized the F version for my FD device. For a device from a market (CSC) that has the FD ONLY released to it.

This might be really hard to achieve without root and Xposed. Even so, no guarantee you would find the option in one of Xposed modules.

Flashing A705FNstock firmware to A705MN?

Since my Device model is A705MN and has no update until now, can I flash the A705FN stock firmeare to my A705MN device? Please enlighten me. Thanks in advance!
You can flash, but many firmware have region-specific settings/configurations, so you may have some issues sometimes. But even in that case, you can always flash back the stock and problem solved.

Ok
My search for advice lead me here. I'm downloading the Ukraine SEK Android 10 and will do my best to flash it to my CHO firmware. I have a combination ROM from Samfirm and some free time... will let you know if i can do some damage
I would strongly advise against this, there's potential for small hardware differences between different versions (Ex: FN vs MN) which could be enough to soft or worse hard brick you phone as the software was designed for another model. I know you're excited for Android 10 but I would rather be patient and wait a few weeks if you don't want to damage your device.

there is no hardware difference between A705FN and A705MN , only the A705F is different (lack NFC).

to flash a device with a different firmware than the one shipped at factory with your device , you need the patched Odin v3.14.1 to disable device verification.
here it is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4952061&d=1581888388
Yeah i knew about that on my S10e (w variant).
Was hoping it might work on the unlockable...
Tried a straight up flash in a patched odin to jump csc... yeah no.
Guess i'll just cook up a sparse system.img. without 100 or so apk's, a legit font menu and other goodies stolen from ROM-mas past. It ain't all that bad.

Flashing SM-A705GM stock firmware to A705FN?

you currently cant flash a different variant fw , if your device was shipped from factory with FN you cant switch to GM or others variants , maybe in the future we could but for now we are 'stuck'...

well the files are not public and cost a large sum.. this and possibly being sued by samsung as well as burning my source who ased me not to release its just not worth it.

Look on Facebook Marketplace, there's Australian model Note 10+ 5G's - both 256GB and 512GB variants - going for as low as AUD$900.
My first question is, surely there's a way to downgrade the latest Android Q security update back to when the bootloader could be unlocked? I've rooted every model Galaxy S from the first one right up to the S8, and am quite upset that this next device in my purchase history won't let me do with it the exact same things I've done to the eight other phones I've owned.
Last question...
When are the muppets who make these devices going to realise that paying almost $AUD2000 for a mobile phone should allow me to use it as I see fit?

CSC check

My father got me s8+ for Afghanistan, I checked it's CSC:TBM in IMEI.info and when I check through phone info app it's :HKY .
Which one is right ?
Even in the sittings I can't get "Service provider sw ver" not available what can be the reason?
