Hey guys, had a custom stock rom on my S6, I'm pretty sure it was Noble Rom, I stupidly factory reset my phone and then wiped it using recovery and ticked the wrong thing without thinking, at this point my phone was bricked.
I managed to get back into my custom recovery and install another rom, upon setup i noticed that the phone said I didnt have a sim card, I tested it in another phone and it worked fine so i know its not an issue with the phone. I then thought it was an issue with the baseband it was based off of, so i got a rom based off of the firmware for my phone (PDA - G920FXXU3DPDP / CSC - G920FEVR3DPD1 / United Kingdom EVR).
However, no matter what Rom I install my sim card doesnt work, so I'm just wondering if anyone knows what I may have done while messing around in Odin or recovery thatcould of made this happen.
Also, does anyone have the stock firmware for the device listed below, I'd get it from SamMobile however the slow downloads take waaay too long.

Hi,
So I've rooted & flashed new custom ROM's on my Galaxy i9000 & P5100, specifically to improve performance, though some technicalities still elude me.
For eg. my P5100 has CyanogenMod 11-20140504-NIGHTLY-p5100 though the baseband version states P5100XXCLI5
On SamMobile there is newer versions, though the downloads are around 1GB, and relates to specific countries, whereas a custom ROM is around 200MB.
i.e
Model: GT-P5100
Model name: GALAXY Tab 2 10.1
Country: Austria (Orange)
Version: Android 4.2.2
Changelist: 2392162
Build date: Sat, 04 Jan 2014 07:15:13 +0000
Product Code: ONE
PDA: P5100XXDNA1
CSC: P5100ONEDNA1
MODEM: P5100XXDMG1
Surely the device will function better with the newer baseband (firmware), however, flashing the incorrect one via Odin could brick the device.
Therefore, how would I go about selecting the newest baseband (firmware) if my country is not even listed ? ...

If your custom rom CM11 runs well --> DON'T flash any other firmware please.
The stock firmware inlcudes all device's partition (bootloader/radio/recovery/system and many BLOATWARE apps) Thats why the stock firmware packages need more storage
Thanks for the reply and noted.
However, I cannot update the apps as Google Play Store only states "No Connection" "retry" regardless of the number of times I do retry. (WiFi & 3G is working 100%)
I've tried all the options as mentioned on the net, though without any luck. (Re-flashed, factory defaulted, deleted & amended hosts file under /etc, cleared caches & disabled apps)
Currently the tablet is nothing but a large phone ... which is why updating the baseband (firmware) is ... like the only option I have left ...
Therefore that I'm pondering flashing the latest PDA, CSC & MODEM --- firmware--- (which is an Android 4.2.2 Bloat ROM), followed by an CyanogenMod "update" to Android 4.4.2
Which has me pondering the possibility of ONLY flashing the PDA, CSC & MODEM ... (not neglecting the fact that my country is not even listed within the SAMMobile.com firmware download page)

Lastest Austria(Orange) FIRMWARE
Thanks for the download link, though I already downloaded from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=28194
TAB is now reflecting BASEBAND as P5100XXDMG1 (from previous P5100XXCLI5) with CyanogenMod flashed as the stock didn't come up.
However, I'm still stuck with Google whom cannot communicated with they're servers ....

Perform a FULL WIPE --> Then flash the stock firmware via ODIN again. Don't flash CM before you got it working again
Flashed stock ROM, though same result.
Then flashed SlimROM, though also with same result ...
By accident, found MoboGenie, which allows me to update the apps, as "No Connection", retry, is still relevant ...

Hi all, I just recieved my phone and it works fine, problem, I am a Tmobile subscriber and the phone is a SM-G930A Ver. 6.01 marshmallow. I can't update OTA and some other issues. I want to flash to Tmobile and have downloaded these files as well as Odin, phone in developer options correct, etc. Will this work? I am also concerned about KNOX, should I be? Thanks in advance, a newbie.

KNOX only trips when you flash custom firmware, so if you've got the stock firmware files it shouldn't trip KNOX, just make sure you got them from a reliable source (simfirmtool, sammobile, updato etc)
You should have 4 or 5 files to flash with Odin, AP, CP, BL and CSC (or HOME_CSC, which doesn't wipe data, CSC does, choose one)
You can't flash an older Android version on Snapdragon devices but you can sidegrade or upgrade, but since you're flashing from 6 to 7 it shouldn't be an issue.
hi everyone,
i recently bought a used Galaxy S8+ here in japan, with the model number being SM-G955FD and android version 7.0.
i tried updating it manually and using the smart switch app but nothing happens and the app says its up to date.
i tried doing a factory reset on the phone but instead of the normal recovery menu i got a odin menu.
I think the old owner changed the firmware and now im stuck.
im quite new to android so i dont know much about what to do.
any help is appreciated.
Edit:
my firmware is G955FXXU1AQH3, and CSC code is XXV-vietnam.
i tried using odin to install a official firmware but it fails at boot.bin and on the phone it says secure check fail bootloader.
i really dont know what to do.
Im going to dump some info from my phone:
System Info:
Android 7.0
Samsung Experience Version 8.1
Baseband Version G955FDXXU1AQH3
CSC XXV/XXV/SKC
Phone INFO Samsung:
Bootloader Version G955NKSU3CRI3
PDA Version G855FDXXU1AQH3
CSC version G955FOXM1AQH3
Baseband Version G955NKOU3CRI1
Original CSC code XXV
Active CSC code XXV
Avaiable CSC codes INS, ITV, THL, TUR, XEO, XFE, XME, XSG, XSP, XTC, XXV
Its not rooted.
Edit: Forgot to mention but on the back of my phone it says SM-G955N, download mode is in korean and on the Recovery menu it says G950NKSU1AQG7.
A while ago, I installed TWRP and then flashed Pixel Experience (herolte) onto my SM-G930F, but experienced some problems with it, namely random freezes and temporary boot loops, and decided to revert back to stock firmware.
I accidentally flashed SM-G930FD firmware instead of SM-G930F firmware, and now I am unable to re-flash and get out of a boot loop. I can boot into download mode and ODIN recognizes it, but whenever I boot into recovery mode, it will crash within the first 5 minutes (sometimes instantly, other times I can use it for at most 5 minutes before it crashes and reboots).
When trying to flash the correct firmware, I get revision check errors, with the device number being one above the binary number.
Is there any way to fix this, or should I give up? Can provide more information as necessary.
Edit: I believe the problem may be that I flashed an Android 9.0.0 firmware, and stock firmwares for the device are at latest 8.0.0. I am also unable to re-flash Pixel Experience, though, as TWRP crashes mid-flash every time.

Region / country are you?
Please quote the FD firmware you flashed I need to know the boot loader version.
Do you know what version firmware the device came with?
Please confirm you can enter Download mode?

Hi, thank you for the reply.
The region of the phone was BRI/TGY (for some reason it was able to be either?) After searching, I couldn't find any SM-G930F firmware for these regions, which leads me to believe that despite the model being shown as SM-G930F in download mode, it might've actually been an SM-G930FD?
The FD firmware I flashed was G930FXXS4ESC7 (TGY).
I believe the device came with FD firmware? My memory may be tricking me but I believe when I checked with Phone Info SAM, the model showed up as SM-G930FD, with the firmware G930FXXS4ESC7 (but may be misremembering).
I can definitely enter download mode with an 100% success rate, and crashes do not occur while in download mode.

Hi there, the firmware you have flashed is the latest version for Hong Kong and Taiwan so it is correct if your device is G930FD.
G930FD is dual SIM right? G930F is single SIM. However G930FD WILL work on a G930F device but G930F WILL NOT work on a G930FD
G930F = Europe and Canada
G930FD = Far East and Asia
On Sammobile website there is an earlier version of your firmware G930FXXS4ESB5, try this one instead and you can only use firmware which is "S4" G930FXXS4ESB5
Try flash it again

Thanks for the reply! I'll try it again using that firmware.
Also, I checked the SIM slot, and it says SIM1 and SD/SIM2, so I think it's a SM-G930FD. Weird that it says SM-G930F in download mode, is that based on firmware?

Okay, I tried flashing G930FXXS4ESB5, and ended up with the same error, being that the device version is higher than the binary version. (5 vs 4 for bootloader)
At this point I don't think the error has anything to do with the fact that I flashed different firmware, but rather that the version of the bootloader, kernel, etc. are patched higher than the firmware, but there is no Android 9.0.0 firmware that I can flash.

The flash passed, but now (as before), the phone simply comes up with "Error!" once installing system update finishes, followed by another reboot and no command.

Ok when no command comes up reboot to system recovery and choose wipe/ factory reset and reboot.
No command means the firmware has worked just needs a final factory reset

That's where the unfortunate final problem comes in, in that the recovery menu will freeze within about 10 seconds of reaching recovery mode, sometimes even before getting past "#MANUAL MODE 1.0.0#" and rebooting automatically. The time seems to be almost random, but I've never been able to perform a factory reset. The furthest I get is formatting /data, even leaving that overnight, it was definitely frozen.
Edit: I managed to perform both a factory reset and cache partition wipe, but still get "No Command" when booting the phone.
Edit 2: Nevermind, apparently factory reset and cache partition wipe worked! I can now boot successfully and the phone works. Although I still have the problem with random freezing and reboots, it's better than a bricked phone. Thank you!
