I got a EE (EVR) Serial Number to flash onto my phone so I could have WiFi Calling, however I realised that I will have to wait a long time for Android 6 to come, or any updates.
Does anyone have an BTU Serial Number I could use for Smart Switch to flash back onto my phone please?
I tried using Odin to put BTU on, but I got a NAND Write error, and I had to use Smart Switch to put it back.
My phone came with BTU, but my Serial Number shows VIR for Virgin Media
Hi,
I doubt someone is willing to give up their serial to be honest, sorry.
Have you tried smart switch emergency recovery software?

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.
Country more likely Germany

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):

If anyone could be so kind as to PM me their serial number (printed on back of phone). I am having issues installing a UK Vodafone rom (keeps defaulting to Slovenia) so hoping that I can type this serial number into smart switch and it'll pull down the correct version for me. Thank you in advance.
it won't work
Why dont you use Odin? Its simple and it will work the way you want

It doesn't work - the VF stock ROM always seems to default to SIM instead of VOD.
A serial # from a VF UK branded S6 Edge should allow us to use Smart Switch to download and install the firmware with the correct CSC.
Pal i don't want to sound mean, but i think nobody here will give a serial number, since it is a vital information of the device, if you can't download the correct rom from sammobile and flash it via odin, i can't see a good solution for you.
Hi,
This is my first post but, I'm an avid lurker. I am having some issues with my girlfriends 920i. It received an OTA update to marshmallow and ever since it won't read the Sim card. I've tried to flash the official fw through Odin and still having the same problem. Because it doesn't read my Sim card, I have zero access to any mobile network settings.
I am wondering if when they updated the marshmallow, I lost unlock capability.
Also, her imei and sn still match. Most of the problems I see people have are mismatched numbers, and her phone seems fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So, I checked the firmware that I flashed and it was INS which seems to be the locked version.
I flashed the INU firmware this morning but still not reading my SIM.
I'm out of options at this point, I'm going to go back to lollipop and see how that goes.
Hi,
I am having this issue for my SM G-920I since 2/3 Jan, 2017. I am using fine on US Tmobile network since Oct 2015, but all of a sudden got the no SIM, emergency calls only and continues to stay like this.. I am curious to know if you resolved the issue and how. Thanks for any feedback!
Help me please
I'm having the same issue. Just flashed INS 6.0.1 firmware on my brand new G920I and now i can't get any mobile signal or data. Tried to flash ZTO firmware for my country, but same issue. My phone was fine before flashing INS firmware. IMEI it's fine too. Recovery shows: Applied multi-csc. What can i do? ((((((((((

Do you also see: " No SIM, Emergency calls only" after rebooting the phone? What's the baseband version ?

Try to connect to Wi-Fi only and once connected, check if there are updates for Software/Firmware.

Already updated and tried to downgrade to 5.1.1, but no sucess. I don't think it's a hw problem, cause it was working before the INS firmware flash, and IMEI number still shows right, no matter what rom i flash (now on MIUI). Can i clean EFS partition and try to flash ZTO firmware again, or i might lost my IMEI and get more problems? Also, wondering if advanced wipe with everything checked on TWRP can help. (data, internal storage, system, sbfs, cache, dalvik cache)
Can you open the phone dialer and enter this code *#*#4636#*#* then clikc Phone Information, and send a screenshot of what you see in the screen (Make sure no IMEI in the screenshot, before you post it here) ? Also check if Radio is OFF or ON.

Codes on my dialer doesn't work, but i'm sure the IMEI is right cause it's showing in phone information. Also, radio is on cause when i search for mobile networks the carriers of my country appears on the screen but when i click on then, just appears a message saying that can't connect
Same problem, any solutions?
I had same issue for over a year, you can check details in my thread, resolved by factory warranty motherboard replacement (free of charge, even thou knox was tripped when I bought it, and I told lady in authorised repair shop that i don`t have warranty).
Forgot to mention that I also tried to repair it via Octoplus box, both by me and some other people (wanted a second opinion), DRK fixed, few new certs written, etc.), not only by flashing fw via Odin or Smart Switch.
And I was 99% sure it was hw, turns I was right.
P.S. country dependable: - in some countries they will probably want to sell you a new motherboard in Samsung (happened to me), but in other factory warranty will be accepted (probably, if the phone is not older than 3 yrs I guess)
Hello. I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F, but it said the firmware was modified in an unauthorized way. It showed the model as G930FD in the firmware but it's G930F on the back of the phone. I am guessing it was rooted. Then I did a cache wipe and it said the "FRP LOCK" wouldn't let it boot up, and now I am stuck in "odin mode". It says downloading and do not turn off target. The thing is I don't know the phone's country of origin so which firmware should I get? I don't wanna brick my phone. I live in Macedonia and I am downloading the Macedonia firmware at the moment but I don't know what to do next so please help. Thank you.
Just flash firmware for your country, if that doesn't work try flashing twrp and a custom rom. I'm not sure there is a way to tell physically wether it a F or FD maybe sim card trays are different, its pretty difficult to brick phone unless there is a hardware fault. Also have you tried Smart switch to install firmware, I've never used it but it supposed to be a good last resort.

It'll still boot into download mode due to FRP lock.
OT:
Use smart switch to restore your phone. You'll probably need information like IMEI and stuff for this. Do you have the original packaging?

Hi
Sorry for my English, not my native.
I know that there is few thread with this error.
My problem is that:
This is not my phone, friend of mine bought it probably from china, looks like EU version.
Anyway phone worked just fine until they turned it off and now they can't boot it cuz of this error.
Setting it to DL mode, and smartswitch can't recognize phone, also when I try to run emergency recover, soft ask me for code which I don't know.
Here is what messages I get on phone:
https://imgur.com/a/l4vZA
Even If I wanted to download firmware, I have no idea which one should I DL.
As I can see android 7.0 is available but still, which one?
I don't have box from this phone to recognize it maybe via S/N number.
This friend probably give it to me later this day, just asking what can I do to fix this phone.
Thank you for any reply.
Flash any G930F firmware to it
TCL (Portugal) seems to be installed atm
Likely scenario, it was rooted, then OEM unlock was disabled, after reboot it FRP locked
Flash stock to fix is usually the way to repair this
can I install 7.0 from here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/
Poland carrier? or should I start with 6.0.1?
Maybe you can restore your phone via samsung smart switch?

The code is the serial of your phone. Otherwise if that doesnt work then downgrade the phone on the latest MM and do bypassing.
