I have a Samsung Galaxy S5300 and i need to be able to debrand name(Mobistar) from my samsung galaxy S5300.
I have installed already firmware with Odin and everything worked perfectly but i get always to read in KIES at firmware: S5300XXLF5/S5300OXXLF5/S5300XXLF5/S5300XXLF5 (MST) and MST stand for brand name of the provider and i can't get rid of it with installation of new firmware.
So i really need help to tell me HOW I CAN DEBRAND NAME FROM MY SAMSUNG GALAXY S5300(POCKET)?
Please can anyobody help me with this problem? And simply installing new firmware doesn't help!!! Already tried it MANY times.
So it is branded somewhere in the phone with name of the provider and i want to get rid of it.
So now it doesn't work with the way i already did MANY times.
So it is branded somewhere where i can't remove it now with installing new firmware(NON BRANDED ALWAYS) only.
I guess it is branded in the phone memory. Because i can't erase(format) system storage. Even after a hard reset there is still kept 0.89GB system storage. So what i got to do to format or erase that systemstorage?
So i flashed my galaxy sl i-9003 with a UAE region stock/firmware so now my phone is stuck on a bootloop, i tried everything and nothing would work. i can't figure out what region my phone is because i cannot turn it on (into the normal lock screen thingy, only a bootloop). is there some other way i can find what region my phone is without turning it on? im trying to flash my phone back to stock rom but i really need to find out what region it is. please someone help asap .
thank you.
For extra information in the back of the phone it says
Model: GT-I9003
SSN: -I9003GSMH
FCC ID: A3LGTI9003
MADE IN CHINA BY SAMSUNG
"...i tried everything and nothing would work..." really!!!

Flashing XXKPE with PIT should work..

And then flash your ROM
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.

The motherboard has been replaced i think its a g920p try to update with g290p firmware
I am buying a new cricket wireless galaxy s7(snapdragon) and to fix the one I messed up. I want to know how do I copy the stock image/rom from the new s7 and put it on the old s7. Obviously they are both snapdragon models and they are NOT ROOTED. My old s7 just reboots and reboots I can get to recovery mode and the download mode. It only boots up to the samsung galaxy s7 screen before it reboots again and again etc. the reason is because I tried to root it with the tutorial on the unlockr's site the name of the article is "how to root the samsung s7 & s7 edge (all snapdragon versions) (video)" rooting the snapdragon s7 which broke my phone so all it does is reboot. Any help with backing up my new s7(snapdragon) and uploading the stock rom/image to the old s7(snapdragon) would be greatly appreciated.
Did you try downloading an image of a stock rom from updato.com or samfirmware etc.?
If not, download it, aswell as ODIN 3.12.3 and do a complete reflash (BL,AP,CSC,CP with re-partition checked, it includes a loss of data though).
You could try AP, BL and CP only and don't tag repartition, which won't wipe your device, if you are interested in your data. If you extracted your data, a full install mentioned above is recommended though. Just to get back to a clean image and anything your root might've messed up.
It should revive your old device and you probably don't need to buy a new one. Especially if i read correctly, just for extracting a stock image, which can be found on the internet already.
Given that you might already have triggered Knox, which will probably void any warranty from Samsung, you could try re rooting or leave it stock, which should be running good on Snapdragon still.
For other G930AZ Cricket Users I went through the samething. I used odin to flash the Engboot and then the phone just kept rebooting. To fix it I did the following.
The first step is to get the G930AZ stock image using samsung switch Here.
NOTE: Using the samsung switch Emergency Software Recovery to return to stock did not work for me, but I was able to get the stock firmware from it.
The model number is SM-G930AZ.
To get the serial number (took me forever to figure this out) go to the download mode on your phone (hold the power, volume down, and home buttons) and press the home button. The S/N is the serial number
After getting the firmware flash ONLY the BL, CS, and CSC (leave out AP) using this version of odin
http://www.mediafire.com/file/2t2sjqxtogbkafk/odin_3.12.3.rar
If that successfully flashes then things are looking good. The phone will restart and probably still boot loop but thats ok. Go back into Download mode but this time Flash the BL, AP ,CS ,CSC (Include the AP). IT should flash successfully and everything should be back to normal after that.
I was able to repeat this process twice with my G930AZ cricket phone so hopefully it works.
Ive read other posts and searched the web but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I have an old s6 I was about to sell so I downloaded the official 7.0 from samfirm and started installing via Odin. At a certain point in system.bin it freezes for 30 minutes. I pull the plug on it. I'm supposed to meet the guy in 2 hours at that point and I download multiple different vwz firmware for the s6 and eventually am able to boot up again. The problem now is that a stock firmware won't completely work (modem.bin) and the older versions from updato work except for system.bin.
So now I have access to my phone but when I go to login its samsung account locked. I try to type in my username and pass and it says "Invalid ID or password" and I even reset it but it still says invalid. I can see the phone on my "samsung wheres my device" website, but I cannot unlock it because it says radio is off.
Edit: Forgot to mention I tried to update from 6.0 to 7.0. Tried multiple 7.0 firmware and attempted to revert back to 6.0.1. I honestly don't know what firmware i'm on now.
It says im on FA50_g920vru4AOJ2.
I'm in the US.
So im wondering since i've frankensteined these firmwares together, is this radio issue because I've flashed a different vzw modem? When it's plugged into my PC it says device not supported. When do a factory reset I assumed it reset the modem back to factory as well.
I can post pictures if need be of the phone showing up in my samsung account so you don't think I'm doing something shady.
