  1. Hi,
    How do you know which stock firmware is the correct one for your region? For example, I live in Canada, and want to flash an unlocked USA S10 to be able to use region specific functions such as Samsung Pay.

  2. Hello! I’ve followed your instructions precisely, got the “Passed” in Odin and my phone is still stuck on the “Downloading” screen. It is not restarting. What can I do? Your help is much appreciated!
