    just be careful downloading/installing software
    I downloaded the Samsung USB driver from the official samsung site
    Got the firmware from a trusted site (forgot), ensured that md5 files present,
    Make sure you dont execute any *.exe unless you are sure – to avoid malware

    Is it possible to install the Android version Samsung puts on unlocked devices on a phone that came from a carrier? The boot screen says it’s from US Cellular. I bought the S7 G930R4 online as a backup phone, and I’d like to install what Samsung pushes out to their unlocked devices.

      If device is SIM unlocked, then yes. With Oreo, it is possible.

    Hi,
    My phone is a N-910F (Note 4) that is unlocked but was originally for the UK (I use it in the US). It currently runs 5.0.1 but I want to upgrade to 6.0.1 using the ablove method. Will using the stock Firmware for 6.0.1 that I have downloaded via SamFirm cause the phone to become region-locked?
