Pertty sure u cant cuz the bootloader and modem are unique to ur device and without a 6.0.1 bootloader for your device it will just bootloop

I know you can't wait to try marshmallow on the i variant. The marshmallow bootloader and modem are meant for F variant. Best wait for unifed S6 rom or official I variant marshmallow.

Can you try 920F VOD firmware and confirm if it is working?
I also have 920I and cant wait to get my hands on MM

Dude I was about to install it but gave up when I realized that would have to use a pit file. I don't want to end up with a locked bootloader if any problem happens

things should happen if you flash incorrect ROM
1 BOOTLOOPS
2 your phone can go down anytime this is if flash pass
3 loosing imei
4 giving you errors during flashing stock
4 KNOX bye bye
5 a nice piece of junk between your hands to smile at it and you know you are screwed because this junk loose signal every Minute
6 every time you see your phone its Like someone saying to you ( hello retard )
and this is my story
am done with samsung moving to moto or nexus or sony

are you on 920F VOD? or locked to any carrier?
if not locked, you can flash the unlocked versions of MM 920F, as I dont think you need pit files as some guys have flashed 920F MM over 920F 5.1.1 without pit.

Tried several times with ODIN. Fails everytime. Lost my phone data as well while trying when I formatted everything without a backup. I am a Certified retard!

Ok so myself and also some other people on the Australia post have tried to flash the G920F MM firmware (VOD or XEF) on a G920i and it has never worked - coming from a Custom 5.1.1 Rom or an official 5.1.1.
Odin simply refused to flash the firmware so you actually don't lose any data and don't damage your phone.

Hi
Have your firends and you tried to convert your G920i 5.1.1 to a G920f 5.1.1 first, before trying to update to MM?
I ask because one user up in the thread said that he had successfully flash a Mexico G920f 5.1.1 firmaware to his G920i 5.1.1 phone.... but he did not flash with MM, because he was scared of flashing a pit file...
Thanks!

G920I
I have a Galaxy S6 , G920I model for the other models, or at least for the G920F , the marshmallow was released, how do you have the new update in my G920i ? Who can help me thank you.

model different to firmware

Hey All,
Just bought a second hand s6 g920 and the back of the phone says g920F but the software on it says G920p. How can this even happen and how can i fix it?
i'd rather have g920F firmware as that is the international one and has more xda community support.
thanks in advance
Same problem... can anyone help?

DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE OF SM-G920F from sammobile.com and flash it thorugh odian. it is quite easy.
most likely the previous owner has damaged the phone and back glass was replaced.
Put phone in download mode anf check the model number (it cannot be changed ).. Its easy .. Just use a little your brain...

What do you mean? British BTU officially updated two days ago and it's available for download, or I'm just not understanding your question? XD
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
It downloaded yesterday both of mine and my wife's S7's (UK - SG930F - Unlocked Version)
Yes I also got the BTU OTA 3 days ago. I was having unlock issues, basically requiring me to enter pin most of the time and not accepting fingerpint unlock. Deleted and entered my fingerprints then a factory reset and still the same. Flashed back to australian firmware and the problem went away. Samsung Pay also does not work for US users with BTU firmware but it works fine with australian. So I'm back to waiting and hope when I get the next OTA the unlock issue doesn't happen again. I personally wasn't blown away but I only stayed with it a day. I didn't like the new notification panel...but I'm sure most do.
I have also had problems with my S7 on Nougat BTU. My S7 is a ETL (Checz Unlocked) in Spain. Data connection doesn't seem to work. All works except that (calls, sms, wi-fi). I tried also O2C, also Nougat. I've downgraded to MM ETL and Data connection works fine. I'm now downloading MM BTU, just in case data works in MM. If it does, I will try to upgrade to N.
You are missing point guys. I have regular international unbranded (no carrier) version of SGS7 Model G930F. Question is this.
Is there any confirmed OTA downloads and successful updates without ANY modifications. Download and install just simply by going into download manually or automatic notification about Nougat available just like any other update. I see ODIN, BTU some other crap that I need to do. NO. I want OTA without doing anything. So once again is there any confirmed OTA updates for international version of G930F. Like Right now I have software version: G930FXXU1BPLB/G930FOJV1BPK2/G930FXXU1BPJJ
If you can point of what EXACT version of international unit I have that'll be great because if people receiving updates already I don't understand why I am not.
P.S.
I do understand there are different versions of G930F but all I want is OTA to Nougat without doing anything.
Thanks !

Only country code BTU has OTA update for Nougat, if your G930F is not running a BTU CSC, you have to wait
Or, flash BTU Marshmallow and you'll get the OTA straight away

I flashed all except HOME_CSC
(CSC will reset the phone to factory defaults)
Which is a good thing for a major OS upgrade IMO
Does anyone have a link to BTU_CSC?the CSC in the BTU 7.0 firmware doesn't change my product code
That is my point. BTU is a variant of G930F. How about All of them ? I mean they're not saying some variants are being updated, they're saying G930F and G935F being updated. I wish someone had some understand or some stats of what variants are receiving update.

Looks like your model is N920V, Verizon model with a custom rom on it. You should be able to flash verizon firmware without issue
but how could he have a custom Rom on a verizon model???

I don't think it is a custom rom, I think It is a modified Stock Verizon Rom. Sm N920f doesn't exist as an original model as Samsung didn't do an European version of the Note5, phone info also said that is not refurbish. if you look at the phone details as I earlier posted you will see a mixup of Both N920f and N920v, I am just looking to hear from someone who as done it before, I don't want to brick this phone, I just got it.
same problem
i have same problem when i check about on devices its show N920F but when i check it using Phone Info Samsung it show N920V
if i flash it using N920V firmware, it will lock network to verizon? i use indonesian sim on it now.
if that locked to verizon how to unlock it again like now i used
Thanks for your help
I took a risk and flashed stock nougat (i found link on xdadevelopers website) on my so called n920f. Actually phone is not N920F, firmware was modifed to remove the branding. Its actually N920V.
To conclude, I flashed nougat 7.0 and its working perfectly, without any issue. I was worried regarding carrier locking after flashing the stock nougat, but it didn't as verizone says they don't lock LTE phones.

sm 920v became sm 920f
im from philippines. i tried my note 5 to update but stock in lollipop then i found out that its from verizon the real model is sm 920v and it was a custom rom of sm 920f. i read some replies here and im waiting for if i could flash nougat rom in sm 920v since its verizon does it can access the network signal
hope someone could help me this.
From N920F to N920V just download and install "Samsung Smart Switch" software on your PC, open the application and connect your phone to PC, click "MORE" , choose "Emergency Software Recovery & Initialization" then follow the instruction. It will reset to factory setting and upgrade the latest firmware (Nougat 7.0). The firmware is carrier unlock.

Yes, Smart Switch will do an OTA update automatically, no need ODIN because your phone has reset to normal factory setting with phone model N920V, no more N920F.

Hello Guys,,I accidentally Flashed G930T Firmware On My G930F Phone

Yesterday I Bought G930F Device Working Great And Officially G930F Then I Flashed G930T Firmware by accident
And G930T bootloader is locked i can't flash G930F firmware
What Should I do???I tried to intitialize Device With Smart Switch But It says device not supported
I have Rooted G930T 7.0 Noughat and i would like to go back to my G930F 7.0
Any Idea?
So you didn't hard brick your device? I thought the G930F was Exynos and any US firmware would kill it. I'm not too sure if this will work but have you tried using Flashfire to go back to the G930F firmware?

No I didn't hard brick my phone but the bootloader changed completely to US and I Can't Do Anything to go back with odin
and with flashfire i can't flash bootloader it says partition protected
i tried to flash G930F System With flashfire but ended up with no samsung logo
i tried smart switch to intialize device with my model name and serial number that written on back of my device but it says
(The Model Information That You Have Entered Cannot Be Verified;The Device Initialization Cannnot Procced Please Contact The Service Center)
So Smart Switch Didn't Work,,FlashFire Didn't Work,,,Odin Not,,,I Guess I Should Contact The Service Center
And I'm In Kurdistan,Iraq So No Service Center In My Country
Any Way To Flash A G930F Bootloader without Any Problem??Because My Device Is Exynos And It Should Be A Reason For Success
This Is Insane Right?

Okay so are you 100% positive your device is G930F and not U? Because I don't think your phone should even be booting if you flashed a Snapdragon firmware on an Exynos phone.

Yes Because Before I Flashed G930T Firmware I Tested Geekbench And It Was Exynos 8890 Octa
And Other Applications That I have Tested It Was Exynos 8890 Octa
And On My Back Of My Device Serial Number And Model Name Is Good
I'm %100 Positive That My Device Is G930F Because Before I Flash G930T Firmware The Bootloader Was G930F
And Beside All Of That On The New G930T Firmware I Feel That My Device A Little Laggy And Not Running The System Perfectly

My contract had finished with T-Mobile, so used the T-Mobile unlocking app included to unlock to any network first, then i flashed easily with Odin and Unbranded firmware.
