  1. hi!

    can this update be installed in any variant of g925a?

    does not the baseband version matter?

    and reading the steps, not appears to have the bootloader open, its correct?

    thank you

  2. Hello, Bhati,
    I have an S6 Edge SM-G 924 A brought to me from USA by a friend.
    Obviously, I do not live in USA, and cannot use OTA to update
    because I am not in AT&T range of signals to do so.
    It has Android 5.1.1 baseband AUCU3BO12.
    Can I upgrade my device with your UCU5EQA8 right away ?
    Or do I need the intermediate updates before doing that ?
