I recently received a T-Mobile Galaxy S6, and it was rooted and had a custom kernel, which was a complete mess (the person who owned the phone previously clearly did not know what they were doing) so I just wanted to restore it back to full stock.
I am decently experienced with ODIN, rooting, custom firmware etc, but I have just done one of the biggest rookie mistakes I have ever done. I had accidentally downloaded the most recent firmware for my G920T, not realizing that the file was not for T-Mobile. It was the (XAR) carrier (I believe that is C-Spire but i could be wrong) and the latest was PK1.
It flashed perfectly and all seemed fine until I decided to unlock the device. The T-Mobile S6 requires the use of the "Device Unlock" app and since I had flashed the wrong ROM, the phone thinks the Device Unlock app is not compatible. When I put a different GSM SIM card in the phone, it prompts me to use the Device Unlock app.
I do not have a previous NANDROID backup from the original T-Mobile ROM, and now that I am on the lastest Bootloader for XAR, it will not let me downgrade. I have tried flashing pretty much every MM bootloader and TWRP for both T-Mobile and XAR and none will work (except for what is currently on the device of course) I always get the error "Device: 5 Binary: 4" (sometimes the binary is 3, depending on which version of MM rom or BL I try)
To sum it all up, I am on PK1 (latest for XAR) and I need a way to get back to the official T-Mobile ROM (latest is PD1). Is there a magic method to get this figured out or am I pretty much stuck with what I got until T-Mobile releases an update that is PK1 or higher?
Thank you in advance to all of you that take your time to help (and I am sincerely sorry if I am posting in the wrong section)
Just unrooted my phone using Supersu but now i'm stuck in a bootloop all i can access in twrp and odin download mode
I'm trying to install stock rom but dont know which one to download
All i know so far is that my S6edge+ is SM-G928F which i bought from Bestbuy mobile in the U.S.A my service provider is sprint
When i try looking for a stock rom for SM-G928F it says that its European unlocked which confuses me since i bought the phone from bestbuy in the US
i need help picking the right stock rom for my phone I also know my MEID number from download mode if thats relevant
Hi !
It is important to know which variant you have , if it`s an european version then you must download and flash the specific firmware.
You can check on the box if available and also when booting into bootloader

Good luck !
I rooted my note 5 (sm-n920w8) and installed sick as hell rom. Apparently, I installed the t-mobile version of the rom (sm-n920t), as this is what the model number of my phone now says.. I am now trying to unroot my phone, but odin fails to flash the stock firmware for model sm-n920w8. I dont want to just flash the t-mobile firmware, as I am worried it will make the phone useless in my area. Any solutions to this problem?
I got samsung galaxy s6
The problem is that i dont understand witch rom i should flash
At the back of my phone and the odin mode says that my model is Sm g920p
But the settings and also other apps such as device info and smart switch says that my model is sm g920f
I thought the previous owner of my phone has flashed a custom rom that changed my model but the confusing part is When i boot into odin mode the Binary says SAMSUNG OFFICIAL.
Please help me
When you're booting into Download Mode, there is an option to show you a bar code, pressing the home buttom. If the meid match with the Dec numbers down behind your phone, it's an 920p.
I have a customized ROM that says OFFICIAL, and a kernel that does the same... don't pay much attention to that. If in Download Mode, it says that the model is G920P, that's the model - doesn't matter what it says anywhere else.
You shouldn't have an issue flashing a firmware. Just flash it, make sure autoreboot isn't on, and restart it into recovery mode, clear cache, system reboot and that should be all.

Probably, yeah, but it's best to go for unlocked firmwares.

So, I bought a refurbished unlocked S6 the other day (SM-G920F). I didn't note down the original region on the original TouchWiz, but I do know that it was on 5.1.1. At this point the phone was completely normal. I went to install twrp, which went ok, but after installing twrp, the phone would no longer boot, even though I made no modifications to the stock rom. I then decided to format and install a newer TouchWiz room, which required I also install a "kernel". After installing the kernel, all x axis inputs were inverted and the phone still would not boot. I then decided just to download a France region stock rom for the G920F and flashed it via twrp, which was successful. But for some reason the x axis is still inverted and my imei is completely incorrect. I have tried to use the dialer code, but it does not work because of no network connection. I cannot connect to a cellular network because Android has the wrong imei number. I have also tried to use both kies and smart switch but my device will not show up. I also tried an older version of smart switch for the initialization feature, but it says that the g920f firmware is not supported. If anyone can help me try to at least get my s6 back to stock rom without these issues I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
