I have s3 neo model GT-I9301I .. Seems that there is a problems in the stock rom of it .. like mm-qcamera-deamon thread and laggy notification panel when open it in addition to a little weakness in the neteork signal .. my friend has s3 neo model GT-I9300I .. I checked both devices cpu,gpu freq and model , motherboard data by cpuz .. i found that they are the same on both devices .. in addition to that odin download page in my device is telling that model of my device is GT-I9300I .. The question now is :Can i flash the pda firmware of The GT-I9300I on my device from sammobile?
Thanks for ur answering ,sorry for the headache

GT-i9300I :
Qualcom Snapdragon 400 MSM8226 4x 1,2GHz // DUAL Sim
HT-i9301I :
Qualcom Snapdragon 400 MSM8228 4x 1,4GHz // SINGLE Sim
As the hardware is not the same, especially the SIM count differs, I really won't flash one phone's stock firmware to another one.
If you want to compare the phones make sure you have the exact same apps on both installed.
You really should think about "root" your phone and uninstall ALL non necessary apps if you need to speed it up.

The firmware WILL NOT run properly if the phone has the wrong count of sim slots. CPU-Z may no be exact. Which chips are shown by CPU-Z ?

May be wait for some other opinions. But I'm sure its not compatible to each other. And the solution for any speed related problems is seriously not to switch one crappy stock firmware full of bloatware for another one...

SM-G9208 TW Marshmallow (Wait or force flash SM-G920F firmware?)

I just purchased an S6 with Model #: SM-G9208, at first I thought it came from China and what not but it came out from TW because it has Google Play Store.
Will Samsung release the Marshmallow update for the device or is there any possible way that I can just flash the SM-G920F Firmware?
I can't seem to find any reliable source about this concern and the BRI firmware has battery drain bug.

It will be released, and you won't be able to flash the 920F firmware over the top of your 9208.
Have a read of the forums, you aren't the first nor the last to ask similar questions.

Its a different beast altogether. You cant install any 920I or F custom / stock roms as they are using different hardware than other unlocked versions. This is same as G9200 which i have quite similar to urs but yet different. We have no choice but to wait. G9200 update is rumoured to hit tonight.
One more thing. You wont see much development for your phone on Xda same like us. Your only reliable hope would be chinese forums gfan.com

Mine says I'm using Exynos 7420 but my Antutu Score is only 44630.
Btw, do you have the video call option in the dialer?

I've just told you, check which model it says in download mode, that is the model phone
If it is snapdragon, 100% it is not the G930F so no you can not flash International

Yes you need to flash stock for the G930V if you want Nougat stock (G930VVRU4BQC5)
I have no idea about your network compatibility

Your phone has been faked, it is a very common issue here on XDA
Everything can be faked apart from download mode
Label on the back, anything inside the firmware, sticker on the box, all can be faked
Download mode cannot be faked, your phone is G930V, end of story

MM or Nougat makes no difference, if you flash for G930V it will flash fine, no dm-verity, no kernel problems, it is the correct stock ROM for your model S7
The only thing I can not predict is your network compatibility
Anyway, whoever you bought the phone from lied to you and ripped you off, if you bought it as G930F, get a refund

Actually he told me this verizon version i bought as second hand it seems so good and new just by 250$ it works fine
We all know it is fake but i think it is good to have snapdragon and adreno 530 by this money, hope nougat compatible with these fake phones.

You're not understanding me, it is not a fake S7, it has been faked to look like a different model S7
It is a Samsung Galaxy S7 model G930V
They change the model number so it looks like International version G930F and other more popular models
The US models are bootloader locked so not very popular
That is the only thing faked with it
if you flash G930V firmware, it will be 100% genuine S7 G930V

Hey dear friend
I scare to do anything by myself so i gave it to programmer and he told me i will flash F model nougat and there will be no problem but after 24 hours he told me F and V roms he downloaded from sammobile fails during flash and he must install 4 file rom and take more money and he finally installed the G930V rom but i don't think so he did anything special maybe he just flashed a official rom from sam.
However my 4G internet speed is very down but rest of mobile performance is ok and nougat is much better.

Is the SM-G9550 4Gb/64Gb Rootable?

I'm planning on ordering a S8+ SM-G9550 with 4Gb RAM, 64Gb storage. Not sure if it has the SD or Exynos.
But most importantly, is it rootable? If yes please provide the process.
There's no way I will ever own a non rootable phone.
Thanks.

Thanks dekarperboer, I've read similar posts and I'm still not sure if this applies to the G9550.
Btw it's the Dual SIM variety, and TWRP specifically says not compatible with SD variants Chinese(0/8/6), Hong Kong(0)

I live in Europe and the phone has issue to get 4G+ speed and Samsung Pay does not work....damn

Yes 4g+
Samsung pay I haven't tried

Nooooooo, they sent it already!
1.4 billion Chinese and no root, how can that be possible.
And when I search for G9550 google #1 result is this post.

It will come eventually since the Bootloader is not locked. (it came to the HK S7 version similarly). But we'll have to wait a bit.
Samsung is not super popular in China + much more expensive than Chinese competitors so it's not very likely we'll see a lot of support for it. That being said all I ask for is root. With Expand the need for custom ROMs is more limited. I'll miss custom kernels though :'(

The right questions? Galaxy J7 SM-J727U

So i just dont know if im looking for the right stuff or what..
Id like a rootable ROM for debloat and performance reasons.
I have a Galaxy J7 SM-J727U..
Just got it from the store and i can find barely any info on this Model.
Does it have a different name? or just no development for this device?
Thank you

I've got the same phone, and I'm in the same situation. I've got 15 days to return it if I can't find a viable root option, but it seems decent for the price. I've gone through a lot of the steps for trying to root similar models, and in every case I simply can't flash anything with Odin. It gives the error "secure check failed". Everything I've looked into about this seems to point to the "OEM unlock" option under developer options, which this phone doesn't seem to have. I would also love to know if there's any potential for progress on this. I'm willing to put in some research and testing, and I'll let you know if I find anything anywhere else.

The U usually stands for UNLOCKED(as in any network/carrier)
Does not necessarily mean the bootloader is unlocked which is likely if the result is 'secure check fail'
What are the specs of this device and country of origin?

Anyone please say the exact CPU used in ths model. SM-J727U.

That's wrong, sorry. I saw one of the YouTubers Boost Mobile variant (J7 Perx) of SM-J727 with installed Snapdragon 625. I've sent this question to the Samsung support in Twitter, they've confirmed my suspicion of the Snapdragon-based US device. But I was unsure. And here I am completely sure of Snapdragon 625 inside J7 2017 US version.

It was my understanding he is in Ukraine, and there the j727u is the Exynos model, as is the US j727u. The j727p and t models use the snap dragon chips

Yes I am the Ukrainian resident, and her we can obtain the SM-J730F. This is a real Exynos 7870 device. But yours J727U might have a different one.
EDIT: One of the users said that there is indeed Samsung Exynos 7870 inside the unlocked model. Meh. From the wompshmack's post the Download Mode looks to be verifying the signatures.

A bit offtopic, but there also is the SM-J727S model, which is the Samsung Wide 2 (or J7 for Souh Korea, sold by the SK Telecom carrier), there is TWRP for it. The CPU is also Exynos 7870.
Theoretically the same rootmethod can be used. Can anyone test?

ANYONE ROOT AND TWRP J727U ?? HELP.. i see no option to enable oem unlock also why.. got my htc rooted then if failed screen damage lines ect fault of too many drops i guess so got this galaxy thinking it will have a twrp ect as its a galaxy yet i find nothing, my luck..
