Hello. I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F, but it said the firmware was modified in an unauthorized way. It showed the model as G930FD in the firmware but it's G930F on the back of the phone. I am guessing it was rooted. Then I did a cache wipe and it said the "FRP LOCK" wouldn't let it boot up, and now I am stuck in "odin mode". It says downloading and do not turn off target. The thing is I don't know the phone's country of origin so which firmware should I get? I don't wanna brick my phone. I live in Macedonia and I am downloading the Macedonia firmware at the moment but I don't know what to do next so please help. Thank you.
Just flash firmware for your country, if that doesn't work try flashing twrp and a custom rom. I'm not sure there is a way to tell physically wether it a F or FD maybe sim card trays are different, its pretty difficult to brick phone unless there is a hardware fault. Also have you tried Smart switch to install firmware, I've never used it but it supposed to be a good last resort.

It'll still boot into download mode due to FRP lock.
OT:
Use smart switch to restore your phone. You'll probably need information like IMEI and stuff for this. Do you have the original packaging?

Hi!
Sorry guys. I have a Galaxy S7 device (it's processor is Snapdragon 820) with build number: G930FXXU1APGJ (witch should be Global Version) and different Baseband Version: G930VVRU2APG5 (witch is for US Verizon Devices)!
In Device Setting it shows Model number: SM-G930F and when I go to Downloading mode (Volume down + Home key + Power button) it shows that my device name is G930V !!! and i can't update my device with Odin.
my Question is: Does my device get android updates?
and why my device is different???
sorry for bad english.
please help me. tanks!
Sounds like the model number has been faked in Settings, always trust download mode, you phone is G930V if that is what it says in download mode

thanks for your answer!
but i don't use Verizon SIM. it sound like my phone is factory unlocked or something like that.
i try to update my device to android 7 beta G930FXXU1ZPK4 with Odin. but all time it shows this error: "Repartition Operation Failed"
so can you say does my device get OTA android updates or not?(it seems that my hardware is G930V and software is G930F)

Of course it failed, your phone is not a G930F, it is a G930V, you have to flash G930V firmware to it, or risk a brick
Same thing used to be done with Galaxy S5, people would fake F model to sell better

But verizon just support verizon sim-cards (am i right?)
How can i use that?
Guys really need help here, I just got a used indonesian g930fd (strangely it shows g930f on phone info) which keep restarting itself after upgrading to nougat (OTA). Also even if I already "power off" the phone, it still restarting (or booting?).
I've tried to factory reset from recovery, still keep restarting. Btw at first factory reset, somehow data partition got corrupted then second one success. Also when my data partition corrupted, the phone doesnt restart/on by itself like I mentioned before, so seems firmware related issue instead of hardware.
I also tried to go to two samsung service center, because first one somehow tell my imei is from singapore and second center tell mine is fro arab (wth) so I can't claim warranty eventho still below 1 year.
My question is:
1. Does reflashing stock (7.0) firmware will fix it?
2. Why phone info show my phone model as SM-G930F instead of G930FD?
3. Is it possible to change Product Code? rite now my product code is definitely Indonesian (SM-G930FZDUXID), originical CSC blank, everything else XID / Indonesia . I kinda have doubt now because two service centers tell different country, also sticker on back cover somehow tell its G930F, and print one on glass cover G930FD
Mind me if these question alrd asked before, but I already tried to search and googled everything and Im still lost here.
here's my firmware information from *#1234#
AP: G930FXXU1DQE7
CP: G930FXXU1DQD7
CSC: G930FOLE1DQCV
Model: SM-G930F/DS
knox: 0x0
Thanks a lot!

Hi mate
Well mate , F and FD models have the same hardware and and use the same firmware , only difference is the SIM tray , they are different to fit one or or two sim cards depending on the models.
The model number is written in the build.prop ( do not know if somewhere else) if it only written there phoneinfo can be fooled , you can double check it by checking your IMEI at this site or other similar
http://www.imei.info/
It will tell you to what phone that IMEI was issued to. Check also with phoneInfo if the phone is original or refurbish
to your questions:
1. Does reflashing stock (7.0) firmware will fix it?
Is a good chance it will, if there is no hardware issues
2. Why phone info show my phone model as SM-G930F instead of G930FD?
do not know , check by your IMEI to see what the real model is
3. Is it possible to change Product Code? rite now my product code is definitely Indonesian (SM-G930FZDUXID), originical CSC blank, everything else XID / Indonesia . I kinda have doubt now because two service centers tell different country, also sticker on back cover somehow tell its G930F, and print one on glass cover G930FD
You can flash any F firmware with the desire CSC code , just download the firmware and flash it using CSC and not home_csc

Thanks for ur response! It's still original from phone info, now not tho since I already flashed new firmware.
Things that I already did:
1. Flashing two same 7.0 nougat for Indonesian version (updato and sammobile)
2. Tried entering recovery mode while charging to check if battery dead, result can't enter recovery mode means battery should be fine.
3. Checking serial number with Smart Switch somehow tell me it's from Arab. I can't restore tho since it keep restarting.
And restart issue still there. One thing for sure it does heat up everytime. While on odin mode, it never restart tho. I still can't find the problem
Is there chance for any other hardware failure somehow aside battery? Thanks!

Hi
It's still original from phone info, now not tho since I already flashed new firmware.
The original check in phoneinfo is regarding the hardware , it has nothing to do with the firmware also you can flash a different firmware to your phone and would be still original
1. Flashing two same 7.0 nougat for Indonesian version (updato and sammobile)
What files did you flash?
2. Tried entering recovery mode while charging to check if battery dead, result can't enter recovery mode means battery should be fine.
Not sure what you mean ...if you cant enter recovery while charging means battery is fine, that makes no sense, i doubt your issue is battery
3. Checking serial number with Smart Switch somehow tell me it's from Arab. I can't restore tho since it keep restarting.
I said check your IMEI to see to what device was asigned to , to see if it was assigned to a G930F or G930FD
Is there chance for any other hardware failure somehow aside battery?
motherboard...but if before of OTA was working fine i would think more in a firmware issue

I'm a beginner trying to upgrade/flash a S7 from China to have access to Google apps, but with no success so far (Secure check fail: Boot). In Odin mode "Product Name SM-G930F" is shown, but in Settings->About device->Model number = SM-G9300. How can I determine which ROM to use?
Boot the phone into download mode (Volume Down & Home & Power)
Whatever model is shown there is the correct model, firmware has likely been faked to sell the phone as the G930F - very common

Thanks for the information. Then I can assume that it is a G930F which is shown as Product Name in Odin/Download mode and that it has been flashed with a G9300 firmware. It would then be safe to flash it with a G930F ROM.

If it says G930F in Download Mode then yep you need to flash a G930F ROM, not sure why anyone would flash a G9300 ROM to a G930F S7 though, it's usually always the other way around

Sorry, my mistake. It actually says "G930V" in Download Mode, but on the back cover of the phone it says "G930U" (fake phone?). It was loaded with G9300 firmware which would make sense for the Chinese market. I've flashed it with a Verizon stock ROM and it seems to work. Just wondering if there is any "cleaner" firmware (G930U?) with less bloatware and the possibility to change the language completely and to get rid of the "Sim card not from Verizon" notification? Without rooting...

Not a fake phone, just modded to look like a different model, you can flash the G930U firmware to the G930V iirc
Yea looks like it's been faked to look different, common with the G930V's.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/search/g930u/ those G930U firmwares should work, basically any snapdragon firmware would work on any snapdragon S7 I thought.
Another resource is updato.
Hi
Sorry for my English, not my native.
I know that there is few thread with this error.
My problem is that:
This is not my phone, friend of mine bought it probably from china, looks like EU version.
Anyway phone worked just fine until they turned it off and now they can't boot it cuz of this error.
Setting it to DL mode, and smartswitch can't recognize phone, also when I try to run emergency recover, soft ask me for code which I don't know.
Here is what messages I get on phone:
https://imgur.com/a/l4vZA
Even If I wanted to download firmware, I have no idea which one should I DL.
As I can see android 7.0 is available but still, which one?
I don't have box from this phone to recognize it maybe via S/N number.
This friend probably give it to me later this day, just asking what can I do to fix this phone.
Thank you for any reply.
Flash any G930F firmware to it
TCL (Portugal) seems to be installed atm
Likely scenario, it was rooted, then OEM unlock was disabled, after reboot it FRP locked
Flash stock to fix is usually the way to repair this
can I install 7.0 from here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/
Poland carrier? or should I start with 6.0.1?
Maybe you can restore your phone via samsung smart switch?

The code is the serial of your phone. Otherwise if that doesnt work then downgrade the phone on the latest MM and do bypassing.

Thx for help, android 7.0 is working atm.
Looks like phone is alive again.
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.
