There is currently no Stock Odin flashable firmware file for this model. My advise to you is with the use of a custom rom.

Good Day need some help. I could not get any signal on my phone so I upgraded from official 4.4.2 to 5.0, still had same issue. For some reason my imei on the battery was different from the imei on the *#06# so I read a post to load an original stock with modem and boot loader to get back my imei to the correct one and now my phone boots and is stuck on the Samsung screen. anyone can assist its Samsung sprint s5 g900p
What did you use to flash the stock rom? Official tar file? Odin? Steps you took? Can you provide more info? Did you try it more than once?
I'm not as concerned about this for ROM flashing. I'm wanting to find out if my G920T can use G920I or G920F modems/bootloaders, etc.
Here's my deal. I have a T-Mobile G920T. To unlock this phone I need to get away from the G920T modem. I previously had a G920T1 (MetroPCS) firmware set installed and it worked great, but the rom sucked.
I've since restored back to stock G920T and i've rooted/twrp, but I see other ROM's and I'd like to give them a shot. The catch - they all say I need to have the newest OI7 firmware installed. I'm still on the G920T sim locked OH8. The only OI7 modems/bootloaders I can find are for the G920F variant. I can't find OI7 for the G920T1 variant. I don't know if the G920F variant will sim unlock my phone. I don't want to brick my phone to figure that out, so this is the reason why I posted this question. I can flash ROM's all day long, but if I can't use my Cricket sim when I'm out in BFE then the ROM is pointless.
Does anyone understand what I'm asking?

DO NOT flash any FIrmewares through odin if its isn't your model number, if you purchased your phone and don't have an EIP you could sim unlock with the app, so any rom your on unless its not Touch wiz based (aren't any available besides touchwiz)
Hey guys, just bought a Galaxy S6 after selling my HTC One (M9).
Turns out the device is carrier branded to O2-UK.
I've read a bunch of threads where the S6 won't boot after stock firmware has been flashed with Odin, is it only with some phones or with all phones?
I want to get rid of the O2 branding and boot animation, so I downloaded a PAKISTAN firmware (since thats where I live), for my S6. However have not flashed it yet because of the stories.
Should I go ahead and flash it or will my phone be stuck on the S6 Logo as well?
The device is on Android 5.0.2 with O2 firmware, the firmware I've downloaded has Pakistan CSC and is a 5.1.1 firmware.
Device is SM-G920F.
Should I go ahead with the flash or are there some extra steps to take before flashing?
Hi,
Really hoping someone can help.
I have a g920v motherboard, that somehow has a G920P firmware on it (Marshmallow 6.0.1)
The device keeps searching for sprint network, and when it doesn't find one it restarts the phone.
I tried flashing G920V on it using Odin, but it fails ..
Any tips?
How can i flashe g920v firmware? im guessing it will stop the resetting of the phone every minute.
I thought maybe i need to wait for a newer version of the G920v to come out, but im not sure it will help.
Help!!
flash the latest version of g920v onto the phone.
I am looking for either Tmobile marshmallow firmware or the US unlocked Galaxy S6 firmware to install via odin to switch my unlocked Sprint Galaxy S6 over.
I am not able to find a complete set of firmware files that I need which is the bootloader, modem, rom and csc home file.
Any help is appreciated.
