US region operator bands are different. Until you are in the US region, you don’t need to make changes to the firmware. Even if you flash the Global firmware, You can’t access all operators. It is better to get further details from your Mobile Operator. When you are outside the US, most of the mobile operators work fine.
buenas tardes tengo un error cuando uso Flashtool Application

Cambie el nombre del archivo a update.zip e intente nuevamente. Coloque el archivo de firmware en los directorios del sistema operativo como Documentos.
