Does anyone know where I could get a download of the Live Demo Unit G955XU firmware for the Galaxy S8 Plus? I bought one from a retailer on ebay and I flashed it with the wrong Rom. I'd like to reflash it back as I did not make a backup.

Firmware for a DEMO-unit is NOT AVAILABLE (only Samsung has these)
DEMO-units are not sold either by Samsung, which was told you already in your "other thread"!
Return this device to Samsung or to the seller you bought it from, and request your money back (it must be a STOLEN device!)
You won't get this device working!
Thread closed.
Demo units arent sold by Samsung obviously. Please refrain from making such threads.

Hi there all!
I just got a new galaxy note 10.1 from South Korea and I have some questions.
I tried to find a guide to root the device but I couldn't find anyone specific for this model,
and I'm not sure if it's because I'm new to android (former apple fan, first android based device I own),or just because there aren't any
I hope someone can help me and guide me a little bit
Many thanks

I've got the same model that I bought when I lived in Korea last year. The file I've used to root is called
CF-Auto-Root-p4notewifiany-p4notewifiany-shwm480w.tar.md5
I got it somewhere here on the forum (don't remember where, so search for it. I just install it with Odin (again, read the root section on how to use Odin)
As for other firmware, I haven't had much luck. For some reason, the FW installs, but won't fully boot (boot-loops at Samsung screen). I haven't asked any of the smart people on here for help, but there is probably some trick to it. This model appears identical hardware-wise to the 801x models, but I guess it's not. I ran into the same problems with my original Galaxy S phone when I lived in Korea, only it was much different hardware-wise than the international version.
So rooting is easy, other FW, I haven't had luck with, but I haven't tried that hard to change it, either. There have been a few posts specific to this model on here, so search for them, too. But again, very little info on this model.
I have a bootloader locked ATT Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Model SM-N910A. While trying to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat 4.4.4, i ended up wiping the phone clean & now ODIN does not work. Got sick of trying to resurrect the phone. Since i can't root this piece-of-****, i just wanted KitKat 4.4.4 on it. Can anybody recommend me a repair shop that can restore this phone. I live in Sterling Heights, MI. After sinking $412 on this phone, I'am not willing to spend anything more than $80 on this, though.
Thanks & Regards

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble. but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att which would be a good starting place. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you. That said, iXDA is a global community and might not be the ideal way to find find a local repair facility in your specific area.
Good luck!
This is my first post and am completely new to smart phones, and have got out of my depth. I bought a new Samsung S2 i9100 from China about 6 months ago. The GPS stopped working (something I discover from another thread here, is not uncommon), and I tried to update the firmware using Odin.
This failed and the phone is now soft bricked as I understand it, as I learnt from another thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/how-to-replace-chinese-firmware-t1192575 ) that Chinese Samsung phones cannot be flashed with European firmware.
I have looked on samsung.com and Sammobile and the original firmware is not listed anywhere (I9100ZCKG4). I have tried installing, using Odin, CWM Recovery and the stock firmware listed on samsung.com for China, but both fail.
I have read the thread on this site on this issue and following suggestions from here this takes via Chinese sites http://bbs.gfan.com/android-2099143-1-1.html and then I eventually end up at http://bbs.gfan.com/android-4920184-1-1.html where I think there is a link to the firmware I9100ZCKG4. The link takes me to http://115.com/5lb/ and neither myself of Google translate are unable to make any sense of this page, and I cannot get any further.
The other problem is that I think I enabled USB debugging before starting ,but now cannot be sure.
Maybe I have learnt and expensive lesson, but any help would be most welcome, especially if expressed in terms a beginner is likely to understand.

Hello guys i'm new here and did look for my problem but didn't find much
i brought a galaxy S5 sprint G900P the guy that sold it to me told me it was a non-contract phone
i check the imei back then and it was clean even though i coudn't activate it.
still i used SSU to unlock the sim on 4.4.2
i wanted today to update to the 5.0 version i checked the imei again just by luck and i found it Blacklisted --
my question is if i update to 5.0 will i still use it or will it get blocked and will i be able to use the sim
i live outside the US.
thank you.

Hello,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S8 plus at a nice price. I know that I can't use it as a phone as sim card won't work, but is it possible to reinstall the original android so I can use it as a tablet?
If it's possible, can you please link me to some guides or something?
Thank you

Here try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mAFiEfNrMA
Any idea if there is any chance for me to use it as a normal phone? I've read that some of them may have that antenna connector and SIM may work after you re-install the samsung stock android.
who would sell a demo unit already, you steal it :silly: lol

there is no way to make it a fully functional phone because you don't have IMEI allocated to your phone...
Try this

Gonna try it. I still wonder if the sim card will work, as ive read that most of the demo units dont have sim slots. Mine has sim slot and everything else is working inclusing fingerprint
Thread cleaned. Tampering of IMEI is strictly against the Forum Rules. Please don't bring that discussion here on XDA.
