Hi everyone,
I flashed the leaked ROM I9505XXUFNA5 to my GT-I9505 LTE back in January when it came out, all went fine. However, now when I try to flash the official Android 4.4.2, say I9505XXUFNB8, via odin v3.09 the process will fail after 20 seconds and I have to flash the leaked ROM again in order to have a functioning phone. My phone is carrier free and it is not rooted.Can anyone help me please !
Thank you in advance,

You just killed your EFS :/
You still got a chance:
you can stay with the leaked rom, but you will have to install the latest "modem" (included in rom failed to install) while you keep the romactually installed
thats the only way it can be lucky and may be EFS get back to work may be. I suppose you dont have any EFS backup, so if restoring it fails that way --> you will have to get it repaired. Will be at least 40$ i think...
There a many posts on xda about EFS, but once gone, it is gone. Feel free to read some hours about it

1. IMEI code is not messed up (it's the same as the one on on the package);
2. I still have carrier signal;
3. I can lock the sim card by pin code
Do you know other signs that would lead to the conclusion that the EFS file is broken ?

Carrier free it means that my phone it's not sim locked in any network. My phone is working fine. I just want to install an official ROM not to stay with the leaked one. I want to install the one for my country so that when I connect to samsung kies via PC the csc and pda of my phone to match up in order to receive updates or to simply for KIES to recognise my phone. The bottom line is that I find it strange that I can't flash 4.4.2 product code COA (Romania) I9505XXUFNB8.

what region is the leaked fw for?
It's from the Sammobile, It seems I can't post links.

Thats due to its a branded rom you tried to install (COA = cosmote branded).
Here is the unbranded version you need (ROM = unbranded for your country):

Looking for the stock gear 2 Odin file. Currently running tizen mod 3.0 but I am having Bluetooth connection issues and was interested in unrooting my gear 2.
Went to sammobile website and found firmware for UK version. No USA version?
Although she have said it's the same, when I do the firmware check, Sammobile website says firmware not found and does not allow me to download the file.
Can some one post or send me a link to the stock gear 2 file so I can flash via Odin.
Thanks in advance

I'm in the same boat. I found the UK version on samsung-updates, but still want to know why no US version. Is it because there just simply isn't one?
I went through this same situation with my Gear 1. No U.S. updates have been available. The UK one is perfectly fine to use since it's the English language.
Here's my mediafire link of the UK version

Flashed back to stock from tizen 3.0 mod and I don't get that error messages when doing a check for update. I did notice when I'm download mode my flash counter is tripped and now status says Custom. Is there a way to rest the flash counter?

Yeah. I tried the UK one and when I tried checking for an update on my S5 it still told me that I was unable to because it was modified. Was that how you flashed back to stock? Or did you use another method?
We used the same method the same firmware versions (UK). The only difference is that I'm running an S4 and your running an S5. Also, my S4 is still with the mdk bootloader so I'm not using safestrap. I'm on TWRP. Not sure if that has anything to do with the error messages your seeing.

last night i went to sleep with m galaxy s6 g920f STOCK 5.1.1 had a fair amount of battery left in t. When a woke up in the morning my phone was dead i thought the battery would have been consumed . I plugged it in charged it . Now when i try to turn it on it just jo to "samsung Galxy s6" logo ,screen becomes a bit yellowish and the phone restarts same thing is happening again and again.
Now i have tried to reinstall to odin, then going into recovery factory reset cache but same results. anyone please help this phone was running stock os so... i have searchd the web but there are no ways to fix it ...
Regards
any help please !
guys i need your help please
I would suggest you download a ROM from Sammmobile that corresponds to your country and install that via ODIN and if that doesn't work try one from a different country or one tha is unknown (I.E. that doesn't belong to a any country), I softbricked my phone trying to install H3G for UK and for what ever reason it would not install. However...
I downloaded one called BTU and that worked using this app SamFirm. To get my version I installed type the Model number SM-G920F and Region BTU to download, once it has downloaded then decrypt the file by clicking the Decrypt button and unzip the decrypted file and then use ODIN to install that one. Using the SamFirm app downlaods it faster and gets the latest from Samsung as far as I am concerned. Good Luck.

The only thing I can think of is trying one from your country and trying any other one. You can use the SamFirm software to download different versions, else I think your phone is broken for some unknown reason and you will have to get it fixed under the warranty. Or install the Samsung Smart Switch from samsung and get the firmware installed that way via the Emergency Software and recovery mode, but it will wipe everything and do a factory reset. Also you will need the serial number and model number of your phone.
just recently bought a SM-G920I which is an international version of the S6, India to be exact. but i have this through a local carrier in my area. i dont know what is been done to it, but i tried updating through OTA and it prompted me that the OS have been altered, i did notice superuser installed when i bought this phone. note: that i purchased this phone at a place where phones get fixed and traded. so i'm really not sure what has been done to it, by pervious owner or cell service provider.
but it does say "seandroid is not locked" or something like that when phone is being booted and it's at the boot logo
i wonder if i can just flash it back to original stock state and not have any issues?
Those red letters are because the rooted procedure has maybe change kernel.
If you download a fresh firmware for 920i like TTT for instance or the very same from India you will not have any problem though maybe the Knox is already triped
Try flashing a new firmware and perform a factory reset after . That way you won't have any trouble

okay thanks, reason why i was asking is because theres a bug with power button, after 5 to 10 minutes the power button wont turn the screen on or off and right now i cant get into "download mode" goes straight to the recovery, any thoughts?....
1st G920i is not International version. The International model is G920f. Secondly, you have been cheated with a rooted phone. If you are not into custom roms etc. Suggest to return it. As rooted phones have issues with Doze on MM.

international or not, and i don't mind having a rooted a phone, but i do have a problem with not being able to shut the screen on or off with the power button, and also the home button is acting the same as the power botton
ive downloaded the proper firmware for SM-G920I and Obin but nothins is happening, it says fail, because it connect to "com(4) port" something like that
Check if the recovery let's you reboot the phone in download mode. Then you can flash the firmware through Odin.
Once you have all installed you can try downloading an app to lock the screen directly from the app widget

Hi,
I recently got a SM-G920F off the internet and noticed it was running android v.5. There was no update option available in the usual place so I tried to update to Marshmallow manually with Odin and it failed during the update process.
I've now noticed that even in Odin Mode, it's showing as a SM-G920P. As a result of this, only US (SM-G920P) firmware installs (everything else just fails) which isn't any use as I'm in the UK! I've tried to reset using smartswitch but it doesn't even recognise the serial number. The back of the phone states it is a SM-G920F and I was previously able to download apps to confirm that the phone isn't a fake.
Has anyone else had this problem? I think I just need to configure the phone to be a SM-G920F again and it will take the firmware but I can't find a way. Have tried editing the prop.build file in /system but it's still saying it's a G920P in Odin mode. Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
Cheers.
where did you get the phone from? for me it sounds like it is a g920p. also your seller may have replaced the back cover of your device. in this case, the produced backcover will always show g920f because its the most common version.
also, editing the build.prop and other system files to show g920f firmware won't change anything. some custom roms even show g935f (galaxy s7 edge). but you're still not able to install a galaxy s7edge firmware over odin.
it's like putting an apple sticker onto a windows machine. it shows "apple" but it is still not a mac.
Thanks for the reply, Tim. I got the phone from an eBay seller in Hong Kong. It definitely was a G920F as I took a few screenshots before the upgrade and they show it was running the G920F version of Lollipop before the botched upgrade.
Cheers.
ok, could you possibly post them?
Sure, Tim. Both of these were taken before it all went wrong...
I'm unable to post pics on here so have placed on imgur dot com/a/Izrw7
Thanks again.
