Flashing firmware

[chathuradesilva]

Does flashing stock firmware of another region to my device voids my warranty? Is that gonna trigger the Knox counter?

And as per the signal bands vary from region to region, if I gonna install a firmware from another region, what is the most suitable firmware to use here in Srilanka other than the SLK one.(Please include the CSC)

Thank you in advance.

I don't think it's going to void your warranty. But rooting your device will. Use a multi CSC.

What do you mean? If I upgrade the furmware with firmware from any region,its not gonna void it. And if I downgrade it to an older one it does. OK What if I downgrade the firmware, by installing older SLk firmware version? Is that too gonna void the warranty?

I don't know for sure. But my Knox is still working.

My device is Galaxy A72. I flash updated to Android 12 using a OXM CSC. But some network related features like call recoding and other things were not available. So I flashed back to SLK CSC. Waiting for the official update is better in my opinion.

I got the exact same device and wanted to do the samething you did. Really dissapointed with the time they are getting to push the update here in SL. I mean its still hell a lot better even it arrives within next month compared to the other vendors, but the thing is they have already released the update to the lower end A52 and A42 5G. And A52 is even getting an update following that. But we who bought the higher end device still waiting for the update to arrive 🙁

Yeah. Me too. The first Android 12 update was released in Russia on 3rd of January. I flash updated on the following day. I must say smoothness was really improved. But image processing had a problem.

What was wrong with inage processing? And correction, It was released on 5th of January in Russia

Photos were over contrasted. And shadows look very dark. Hope it will get fixed.

There should have been some serious bugs and that should be the only reason they are taking this long to release it I guess. Hope it'll arrive within few days atleast.
