I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5, which has had the imei repaired from being blacklisted,
I can't update using the normal options, going into the settings, about phone ect..
What I want to know is: Can I use Samsung Kies to update this phone? Or am I stuck on the
older OS?

Try using Kies. If that doesn't show up any update, try flashing a new ROM.

When using a custom rom, you can't use Kies. My suggestions are for backup Titanium Backup and for PC connection Airdroid.
Do you have USB debugging on?
Have you tried download mode?

I have the same problem with my S3 non rooted device.
When i bought the phone i instantly updated it to the official rom update by Samsung that is 4.1.2 & now wen i connect thru Kies the legendary message appears known to all of u !
Where as wen i connect, Grand Duos, S Duos or S2 it says the latest firmware already installed, that clearly states that there is no update came yet for the device, then y an error message for S3 ?
Is it because of i updated it thru Phone Software Update option, so now Kies not recognizing the device ?
What could be done to get it back to normal stock rom and then update it with Kies ?
Help ! Reference Screens are attached ! Plz Review

I think you should jump out of your comfort zone and reinstall the stock rom using one of the methods described in the forums. There may be something that went wrong with your update. After the reinstallation, consider a resintallation of Kies as well.
Hi!
I want to enable the multi-users functionality on my Samsung Galaxy S4. It runs Android version 5.0.1, so it shouldn't be a problem, but I need to root my phone in order to edit my build.prop file.
Problem is, I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 sgh-m1919v, which is a phone from Videotron in Quebec, Canada.
I've tried Kingroot and Towelroot, but neither will support this phone.
Another common way to root an android phone seems to be by using Odin and going into download mode, but since this exact phone isn't on the list of "approved" devices, I am reluctant to try it... I really don't want to break it.
I've checked on this forum and haven't found an answer to my problem yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
TL;DR: Need help rooting Samsung S4 SGH-M1919V
Okay I'm a newbie at this. I'm a pro at windows computers but I've only been messing around with Android for about a year. So when I bought this phone it was from straight talk slash TracFone it is unlocked. I bought it to use with SafeLink service. Anyway so I bought it as a Samsung Galaxy sky SM s320vl but whenever I do a hard reboot here is the info it gives me
MMB29M/S320VLUDU3AQF2
Samsung/ j3ltetfnvzw
the firmware that I found on chain fire says s320vludu2apj3
Again when I bought my phone I did not buy it as a J-3 it was just advertised as Samsung Galaxy sky sms320vl but when I logged in to Google the first time with this phone Google recognized it as a J-3 2016 model so is that what this phone actually is and do I use this firmware that I found on Chainfire? Also am I going to have to use windows with the Odin tool to do this? I'm not trying to do any thing special just the phone so I can go in and uninstall apps that I don't want Samsung App stuff like that so I'm not trying to flash the phone with a special package I just want to root it. Sorry for the long post I just want it to be clear what kind of phone I have and what firmware I need for it. Also, to root the phone I just need a firmware file, the windows drivers and the odin tool correct? Thanks a lot for your reading this post I really appreciate it.
Hi. I was trying to root my Samsung s10e with magisk, following instruction but it's failed. Later I've instaled pure firmware and re-locked oem but in some Samsung apps it's showing that my device was rooted and I cannot use them (eg Samsung Pass, Health...). Somebody knows how to fix it or if I will be able to get future update on the phone?

So there is not any way for phone to stop seeing device as rooted?
Hi at all,
so I bought this samsung phone (Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F) for my mom online, but there is an android account lock on it. Previous owner not reachable and so now I'm stuck with this phone.
I tried a lot of "FRP/Google Lock Bypass" videos, but it seems this phone has the newest android version so non of them work.
Types of bypasses I've tried:
- notification bypass
- SIM-Card insert/eject and power on/off
- specialized FRP software
none worked.
Now my next move would be to try to flash a custom ROM in order to flash an older android version, which would hopefully make one of the above mentioned FRP methods work.
BUT for some reason I cant't enter download mode, which is as I understood essential to flash anything on the phone.
The only mode I can enter is recovery mode. There I already tried factory reset, which did work, but did not solve my Android Lock /FRP problem.
Now ...... any clue what I can do to finaly make a use of my money that I spend on this phone?
Thansk in advance for every bit of help

Which phone do you have? If it is a Snapdragon version with updated software, you can't flash custom ROMs due to the locked bootloader.
