Got my S6 yesterday. (VZW 64gb) Been getting random reboots on the phone. Not sure why. It happens completely randomly.
Android version : 5.0.2
Baseband: G920VVRU1AOE2
Not rooted or anything. Google Now Launcher.
Factory reset. Use kies or odin. I had borked firmware on T-Mobile s6. Minus the reboots.
What are the differences between OE2 and OC3?
I'm on a Mac. Do I need to use Smartswitch?
Sorry might need a walk through or link to one. Thanks
Return your S6 to your carrier for warranty replacement/repair.

I used those 2 threads trying unlock my L720, I followed everything up and It went smoothly It worked with (Simple mobile & Straight talk att sim card) but I was not getting a constant service, decided to go back to sprint and then, just trying to go back to stock firmware!
I am getting "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.." in Odin every time that I try MDC, MK2 Stock firmwares says "FAIL! (Auth)" ?????
The only tar that is working is MDC modem tar found on the 1st thread used to downgrade modem to MDC, even though I was in NG2 which is the latest i was stock and rooted!
Then the phone boot up there's no sound no WiFi touch problems or is it the phone is really slow!?. I did a factory reset and nothing!
Another thing, but I noticed this since unlocked it! there is a picture too! Baseban and build are different!
Please any help would be appreciatte it!1 Thank you!
Hello,
Just bought a topaz blue unlocked S6. I think it came from an Asian country. The phone arrived perfectly with plastic in box with the same IMEI as phone. However it was rooted with SU. I went into the app and clicked to remove root. It was on 5.0.2. They I tried to flash original firmware with Smart Switch with no success.
I used odin to flash stock 5.1.1 firmware from the UK. The firmware was for 920F. It went all good. I have LTE, SMS and phonecalls. However, sometimes the baseband appears as unknown, but I still can make calls and have LTE. And it still shows the same IMEI as it is on the box and it has always shown it. Is there a way to fix this? Now, I try to flash stock firmware with Smart Switch and it says it can't initialize.
I would REALLY appreciate help. I would love to be able to flash stock firmware from Smart Switch.
I'm in México with Telcel, which uses the same bands as AT&T.
P.S. I really searched and couldn't find anything on my specific situation.
That happened to me when I was still on 5.0.2 and flashed only the 5.1.1 modem. I would suggest downloading the modem.tar file and flash that. Should all be good after that.
I'm currently downloading G920FXXU1AOD4 BTU firmware to flash it with Odin. Might that help me better? My main goal is to be 100% stock without any weirdness. And having Smart Switch recognize my phone!
Well, I'm sad.

You cannot downgrade to 5.0.2 from 5.1.1. Your bootloader will not support. I have the issue with 3G connection. Where to get the Modem.tar?
So I bought a 2nd hand S6. The price was good, not great, but good and the phone functions very well with no issues. I probably didn't look at it as closely as I should have, but live and learn. Anyhow, the phone is still on 5.1.1, so I went to flash it in Odin to 6.0.1 - nothing worked. The model says it's an SM-g920f, however, when I go into download mode it's listed as an SM-g920p. Also, the bootloader etc are all 920p. I didn't think twice about it being the f model as I am an American, but I live in the philippines. It is very common to see the international versions of phones here. I know that the p model is common in the US as a sprint phone, and I should have keyed on the fact that when I opened the browser, it took me to the sprint webpage right away. The device is of course rooted. I cannot upgrade it using smart switch. Of course when I initially tried to flash it in odin with a 920f rom, it failed miserably. So, I am wondering if I flash it back to a stock 920p, will it cause me issues?

Anyone?
Hi everyone. I have a Galaxy S8+ that I bought on BackMarket a year ago. The phone has been great, but has always had problems with some phone calls going straight to my mailbox for no reason, texts not coming in then suddenly working if I send OUT a text. After some research and contacting my provider (United States, Ting), I was told that this is because I need to enable VoLTE. My phone didn't have the option to do so and when I called Ting again, I was told that this is because my phone was the International version and VoLTE wasn't supported on that model.
I thought that was the end of it, but this week I had the thought that maybe this is a firmware thing instead of a hardware thing. Calling Ting again, they checked my IMEI and said my phone should be able to do VoLTE. Great! All I needed was Odin and the right firmware (I was thinking G955U1, TMB). So here's where things get weird. As I started to set up for flashing my firmware, I gathered the following info:
IMEI.info says I have:
Model: G955F Galaxy S8+ (SM-G955N)
Here's the info I get when running the "Phone INFO ★SAM★" app.
Phone Model: SM-N950F / Galaxy Note 8
Firmware's CSC Code: XEF
Bootloader Version: G955NKSU3CRI3
PDA Version: N950FXXS5DSC6
CSC Version: N950FOXM5DSC1
Latest Firmware: N950FXXSDDTJ1
If I'm reading this right, it looks like I've had a Galaxy S8+ running Note 8 firmware? At this point, I'd still like VoLTE, but even moreso, I'd like to just know what's going on and what I should do about it.
Seems like somebody installed a modded Samsung firmware on your phone. Check download mode for KNOX, I think it will be tripped (0x1).
If it is tripped then no Samsung Pay and stuff that depends on KNOX. If you are fine with that and just want to get VoLTE working, download the right firmware for your device and flash it to stock. If stock everything is important to you, I suggest contacting the seller on BackMarket and getting a refund or something if the seller didn't specify tripped KNOX.
BTW, if I remember correctly G955N is the Samsung direct model sold in Korea, so depending on CSC and what not VoLTE might not work. Best of luck
Thanks for the reply.
So I ended up solving this with the help of a few people over on Reddit. Here's what was going on and what the solution was, for others that come across this.
The phone was running v6 of HadesROM. I guess the creator of HadesROM uses the Note8's OS build as his base for the Note8/S8/S8+, which is why the phone was showing up as an N950F. And the phone itself was a G955N, which is a Korean model.
At the direction of a few people on Reddit, I used TWRP to re-flash with the newest version of HadesROM and set the Firmware CSC properly to a US Carrier.
When the phone booted back up, the VoLTE setting was present in quick settings and works great.
Hey, first post so sorry if I say anything off lol.
I have a G996U purchased from Verizon that I flashed to U1 firmware like 2 years ago when I first got it, and have had no issues since. I had a OTA software update the other night that seems to have triggered a carrier lock in my phone. The phone works fine for 5 minutes, then I get a popup telling me the phone is locked and to contact Verizon, despite the phone being from Verizon and running a Verizon sim. I went to them and unfortunately nothing they did could resolve it (new SIM, eSIM, etc), so they shipped me a new phone via insurance. I'm wondering though if I could save myself the hassle of transferring everything and do an in-place flash on the phone to see if that clears up the issue. I am already on the newest firmware (G996U1UEU5EWB1), so I can't upgrade, but I was wondering if I'd be able to flash the same firmware already on the phone while keeping all my data. Thanks.
Yes, just flash with home_csc.

Thank you, just also want to ask bc I'm actually not sure which software to go for. I thought I had flashed XAA long ago, and I'm definitely on U1 firmware, but when I check "Service provider software version" in settings, it says VZW rather than XAA. Is it safe to download XAA firmware for a reflash or should I just do VZW to be safe?
You can flash any csc firmware.
