just recently bought a SM-G920I which is an international version of the S6, India to be exact. but i have this through a local carrier in my area. i dont know what is been done to it, but i tried updating through OTA and it prompted me that the OS have been altered, i did notice superuser installed when i bought this phone. note: that i purchased this phone at a place where phones get fixed and traded. so i'm really not sure what has been done to it, by pervious owner or cell service provider.
but it does say "seandroid is not locked" or something like that when phone is being booted and it's at the boot logo
i wonder if i can just flash it back to original stock state and not have any issues?
Those red letters are because the rooted procedure has maybe change kernel.
If you download a fresh firmware for 920i like TTT for instance or the very same from India you will not have any problem though maybe the Knox is already triped
Try flashing a new firmware and perform a factory reset after . That way you won't have any trouble

okay thanks, reason why i was asking is because theres a bug with power button, after 5 to 10 minutes the power button wont turn the screen on or off and right now i cant get into "download mode" goes straight to the recovery, any thoughts?....
1st G920i is not International version. The International model is G920f. Secondly, you have been cheated with a rooted phone. If you are not into custom roms etc. Suggest to return it. As rooted phones have issues with Doze on MM.

international or not, and i don't mind having a rooted a phone, but i do have a problem with not being able to shut the screen on or off with the power button, and also the home button is acting the same as the power botton
ive downloaded the proper firmware for SM-G920I and Obin but nothins is happening, it says fail, because it connect to "com(4) port" something like that
Check if the recovery let's you reboot the phone in download mode. Then you can flash the firmware through Odin.
Once you have all installed you can try downloading an app to lock the screen directly from the app widget

Hi,
As long as they are the same model you won't have any problems. Worst case scenario download the stock ROM for your country as well and flash it back.
All the best,

I have 920f XEF i flashed UK firemware and all ok then after 48h my phone restarted now i lost imei ! Now i learned in hard way never flash other roms on a phone because thats why they made difrent ROMs difrent models...i didnt make backup now i fixed it with octoplus(10bucks) with difrent imei RDK binary missed up signal drops time to time

Hello
I have this problem with my second samsung s7 black sm930F (SM-G930FZKAXEF) the phone works perfectly but after some 362 (*UPDATE NOW AFTER 162 HOURS )hours of function I get "emergency calls only " only phone restart or phone flight mode return to normal network mode and this bug is annoying because is a software problem ( tried everything replace nano sim several times no luck, turn data mobile off and on no luck either) the nano sim is perfectly inserted the phone works perfect but after that amount of hours when i pass areas with poor signal and go back to the ones with very good signal I have the latest update....
maybe you guys have the same problem
wait for update and fix
I had a similar problem on my rooted G930F after moving away from the initial stock rom that came with the phone. I found that the issue improved after using Odin to flash the May phone/CSC from Sanmobile then re-installing my current custom rom.

If you aren't familiar with Odin then maybe wait for an update from your operator, otherwise the other option is to find the corresponding rom at:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930F/ - then flash it with odin using one of the many Odin guides on the interwebs

my phone is not branded it's neverlocked only support from samsung....this is my second s7
Did u try a factory reset? I am assuming you using the phone with a sim card that is country specific. For example if I buy the phone from India then I need to use an Indian sim card for sometime and only then I can use another country sim card.

the phone is french model sm930f neverlocked it's no difference because is european model so i'm in europe only in a different country......for ex I had a s6 sm920f french and use it in the same country that i'm using this s7 and was working perfectly.....your ex is like this if I want to use this european model in us,asia,russia, yes even in the manual it's say that you must first use it with a european sim an talk the first 5 min........
yes I did try a network reset today
I had the first s7 that was produce from my country and have the same issue..........
what is your up time ??? did you have this problem ???
Great. Rather than network reset try factory reset. If still does not work, take it to a service center they would reload the entire firmware without tripping knox.

To me this sounds like the device has been blocked or is a hardware issue. If you have not rooted or messed with the software on any way then it is the only explination .

why do you need to know what you asked for?

very simple, go to settings, and scroll down to where it says about phone or info or something, then click software info, and you can find everything there. it is probably i9505.

-
ok your firmware is sprint, what Odin showing is the correct one, search for cwm for sph-720t.
DO NOT FLASH ROM VIA ODIN, flash new cwm or twrp recovery, then flash new rom through recovery. your firmware is most likely sph-720t which is sprint

i think is unlock because any sim card work and i leave in algeria not in us
your phone might not be original, because if you bought it in Algeria it should be the international version, basically i think it is the sprint version, if Odin says so, you should look for your sprint firmware, but also for android 5.0.1

Hi,
I do have an unlocked version of Samsung Galaxy S7; model SM-G930F(international model), which I brought from Jet.com. I am using T-mobile sim prepaid sim on it.
For the past few weeks its showing problem of re-starting and hangs on Samsung boot screen(first screen with Samsung name and galaxy s7 logo) with blue light on top always on. I tried factory reset, but did not work and happens too often these days. There is no fixed way of getting out of it. Sometimes it works by clearing the cache, at times by logging in on safe mode and rebooting, then at times by charging for a while and turning it on etc...
From looking into the forums and discussion, I have the feeling that its related to bootloop or bricked phone. The only thing left to do is install firmware once again with ODIN. But I am confused on which firmware to download. Can anyone help me with which is the best one to install? Below is the phone details.
AP : G930FXXU1BPLB
CP: G930FXXU1BPJJ
CSC: G930FUUB1BPL4
Any help of this is much appreciated.
you should install all of them, in the order it says,

Hi mate
You had a Marsmellow firmware you can basically flash any official firmware you want , as long as it belongs to a G930F , pick a country similar or same to where you live
Check here
Get a Nougat firmware they are working fine, follow the intruction in how to flash , pick CSC or home_csc , CSC will factory rest your phone will it leave it like new , if you use home_csc has to be same as the one you have your phone then you will not lose any data
SM - G930F
Thank you!!
I got the file downloaded now. Do I need to select all the AP, BL, CP and CSC on the ODIN software to reset it?

Today morning again the phone got hanged in the bootscreen. So, I decided to run the ODIN3 with all the 4 files selected. I installed the Samsung drviers and followed all the instruction and run the application with all the 4 files selected. The process showed success in the ODIN3 application. But even after that, the phone is stuck on the bootloader Samsung with Galaxy S7 logo.
Any idea what to do next or how to resolve this issue?

OK.... here is the SAD news.. I gave the phone for repair on a local cellphone shop. They did some testing on it and said its related to software. After trying to fix it with installing software and other fix they called me a while back and said `THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT`.
Not sure what to do with it. Bought this unlocked only 6 months back and its already dead....
Never going for another Galaxy for sure.

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.
