Regards

any help please !

guys i need your help please

I would suggest you download a ROM from Sammmobile that corresponds to your country and install that via ODIN and if that doesn't work try one from a different country or one tha is unknown (I.E. that doesn't belong to a any country), I softbricked my phone trying to install H3G for UK and for what ever reason it would not install. However...
I downloaded one called BTU and that worked using this app SamFirm. To get my version I installed type the Model number SM-G920F and Region BTU to download, once it has downloaded then decrypt the file by clicking the Decrypt button and unzip the decrypted file and then use ODIN to install that one. Using the SamFirm app downlaods it faster and gets the latest from Samsung as far as I am concerned. Good Luck.

The only thing I can think of is trying one from your country and trying any other one. You can use the SamFirm software to download different versions, else I think your phone is broken for some unknown reason and you will have to get it fixed under the warranty. Or install the Samsung Smart Switch from samsung and get the firmware installed that way via the Emergency Software and recovery mode, but it will wipe everything and do a factory reset. Also you will need the serial number and model number of your phone.

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...

Unsuccessful Unrooting of AT&T G930A using Kies or Samsung Switch

Hi all,
I successfully rooted my S7 from Nougat using the guide below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/heres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502
But performance seems to be suffering since then. I'd like to unroot back to stock, but:
1. Can't find a stock firmware image of G930A to use with Odin
2. The newest version of Samsung Switch no longer has the "Device Initialization" tab as shown in the guide here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QhJngOuLQ4
3. I've tried with Samsung Kies as well, which seems to not properly recognize my device serial number.
Has anyone had success in finding an older version of Switch or other methods of unrooting the G930A?

Hi, same problem. Did you ever solve this? Thanks!

You checked both sammobile.com and updato.com?
If so try G930U firmware since it's just the unbranded firmware for US phones, works on all of them.

I did actually solve this a few days ago to unroot my Galaxy S7 G930A.
I used:
Odin V3.12.3 Patched
G930U Firmware (AP, BL, CP, and CSC files) from Updato (https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=9CDE46F3EB8211E7A5F9FA163EE8F90B)
After doing this it honestly feels like I have a brand new phone. Huge performance jump compared to the rooted package.

Going back to SM-G955W from SM-G955U

Hi i bought a second hand s8+(SM-G955U) it was still on nougat and i didn't get any OTAs, so i update it to Oreo with Odin. I still dont get OTAs, and i never could find my CSC related firmware in g955u models on sammobile. so i looked up my device in IMEI.info and find there that my device is actually G955W and from there i also found my CSC based firmware in Canada my CSC is XAC. I just also find on the back cover of my phone that my s8+ is actually SM-G955W. so my question here is how could i go back to g955w firmware? Just download g955w firmware and flash it through odin?
In setting my phone is
SM-G955U
Baseband version G955USQU5CRL2
Service provider SW ver.
XAA/XAA/XAC
and the firmware ive downloaded from SamFirm is
Model Sm-G955W
Region XAC
PDA G955WVLU5BRJ2
CSC G955WOYA5BRJ2
Please i really need help i dont know what to do here.

Use the patched version of Odin. Just search Google for "patched Odin" & you'll find it. However, if you use the G955W version of the firmware, you'll lose several features of your phone. For example, the G955W firmware disables the FM Radio. Good luck.

Thank you so much friend, i will sure try it and let you know.
You know i don't really use radio and the main reason to switch is because i don't get OTA updates, anti malware in device Maintenance's won't activate, and i couldn't install certain samsung apps like samsung members and samsung+
Thanks again
