flash firmware from another country - Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers

hi all,
could i flash a firmware from a another country that has the most updated security patch and one ui2.5 ? for example from peru as indicated here > sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-m51/firmware/#SM-M515F
can i use the android recovery to do a "apply update from SD card"' ?
what's the pros and cons doing it?
will that erase everything including contacts and pics etc?
i have done a adb debloating ikn if that interferes with something
thanks!

I got the same OTA as well. But I can't find what changed in this version. I need to know if the infamous memory leak is fixed in this version. Release notes are talking about generic lollipop crap.

this are the "release notes"...the same as the others!

Yeah, that's useless page. It does not have changelog. But it looks like its 5.0.2 update. https://plus.google.com/+KirkStromberg/posts/CKbDZCrA9FF
so this is not for the UAWS US model? is there a similar one for the UAWS model to update from 21.22.25 ?

Samsung Galaxy C5

Hi there!
I was just curious to know if any dev is working on galaxy c5(SM-C5000)
because finally it has working twrp and a working rooting method
I tried myself for a Grace Ux port and I almost got all apps working except for the settings and the system ui.
I know this will be very easy for a seasoned developer because we have a proper TW MM base.
Any help would be appreciated!

My brother has this phone, were from Romania. He's using it on Vodafone and there is no problem. There are 2 firmwares for this phone: China and Hong Kong. There is no european or some other firmware. The phone was bought with Chinese firmware but without Google Play services and to install them nothing worked unless flashing through custom recovery which I wanted to avoid. The HK firmware has Play Store in it and it's working without problems. He's satisfied with it. Most probably will work in Poland as well.

Ok, thanks for fast response.
I definately would flash this phone to smth custom, like CM or LineageOS, I hate touchwiz (I have now a3 2016) and my phone has such a potential but can't feel it without breaking out from touchwiz :/

It updates the security patch to october. And that's pretty good. I guess Samsung is not going to improve this firmware any further. Camera won't get any better because the sensor is too small for 24mp, although it's not bad considering the price, and fingerprintsensor also has improved a lot. It just needs to be set up right, and many users don't seem to succeed.
My only reason now to prefer an s series phone over a50 is the camera.

Hi, check out my other thread about GPS issues. I had them with previous version than this and the previous still. I don't think it is related to firmware at this point - until they finally realize it and fix it, of course

no problems with speed or GPS with oktober update

General OxygenOS 13.0 build A.10 [global version] is out

Build number: CPH2449_11_A.10
Kernel version: 5.15.74-android13-8-00007-gb328aadc6d46-ab9979065
Check the attached screenshots for the changelog:
Thanks for the infos.
I wonder how many updates to "improve wifi connections" this device will need though. I didnt noticed it at first but wifi is indeed flimsy on this device.

TBO I've never had issues with WiFi connectivity on any of my previous Android phones. To say it's a bummer is an understatement. With A09 I couldn't watch videos online for more than 15 minutes as the device dropped WiFi for up to a minute. I've not tested A10 enough to claim that the issue is resolved.
Rooting with kernel su still working?
i found some point after i update, my phone alway show no sim card. and i checked show unknow version on baseband !!
I found that there is a bug after A09 to A10.
For example, when I tap something in the telegram, the tapped item should be greyed shortly. But I cannot see this....

You most likely have a Chinese phone which was flashed to OxygenOS. You need to (re)install it properly or revert to ColorOS.
