Hello,

I got a clone of S9+ and I was wondering if it's possible to re-flash another ROM. I want to do this because security patterns doesn't seem to work and it has some bugs with the UI. Also, is it possible to flash an original Samsung ROM?

Really thanks for your time, appreciate your help !

No, Samsung official firmware will not work.

Is flashing another device's firmware possible? yes...

Is it probable that you'll actually find a compatible firmware? no.

You'd have to identify everything about all of your hardware components and hardware features, then find a firmware for another device that has all of the exact same hardware. But finding a firmware from a different device that has all the same hardware is pretty much impossible.

Basically, you'll be looking for a needle in a haystack in a field of haystacks and then even if you do find a compatible firmware, it will have to be modified in some manner to work on your device.
