Help please help - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello
I have a s8+ that was originally from Vodafone UK. The person that have sold it to me unlocked it. I've flashed as well the no brand firmware for UK to have the wifi call. Because I'm with ee I would like to flash the EE firmware to have Volte as well. I've tried many times with Odin but always fail at the end after hidden.img
I tried many suggestions found on line but none was working... Once I was again back to Vodafone firmware as well also if I was flashing the EE one. Someone Could help me with a guide step by step how to install ee firmware without errors?
Thank you very much indeed

Failing to flash stock firmware.

As title says I am having trouble flashing original stock firmware onto my phone.
The model number is: SM-G920F.
I originally installed a rom which caused my phone to lose it's baseband. I then tried to flash a stock firmware and it didn't work. In ODIN it just fails instantly.
I noticed that in download mode it says that the "product name is: SM-G920P" however.
So I flashed the G920P instead which got it working back to normal.
The only problem is I don't live in the US. I live the UK. The firmware is rejecting my sim card.
I want to flash the G920F and am having some trouble. If anyone could help I would appreciate it if someone could talk me through this.
I have looked around the forums etc and I haven't seen a solution to my problem.
Thanks in advance.
You've got a CDMA version of the S6, as far as I know, no UK carrier uses CDMA, they use GSM, so you're out of luck if you want to get it to work in the UK.

You can try using "Smart Switch". I wasn't able to flash ITV firmware over the BTU, it failed at hidden. I tryed with Smar Switch and it work.

Flashing Vodafone firmware on Galaxy S6

Hello, i have a Galaxy S6 that i bought from Carphone Warehouse which is unlocked. I am on a vodafone contract and want to be able to use WIFI Calling. I have been told that it will only work if i bought the phone directly from Vodafone. After some research i found on sammobile that the official firmware is availble on Vodafone. If i were to flash this file, would it activate the features? Would this reset the phone or void my warranty?

Thanks
I did exactly that, but by mistake. It lead to me losing my phone's IMEI and baseband. It is fixed after reflashing the correct one again though.
Also, most likely Odin will fail flashing it at Hidden.img
Thanks, think I will give this a miss then!:good:

Please help change firmware - UK vodafone

Please help, I have searched the forum but dont seem to get a solution that works!
I bought an unlocked S6 Duos some years ago and now need to put the official UK vodafone firmware onto it so I can use wifi calling
I have downloaded the firmware and tried to flash with ODIN but always get it failed when doing the image file. I have also tried to change the CSC code using the dialer but get MMI errors (even though it is connected to the network and I can make / receive calls).
I am sure I am doing something obviously wrong but cant figure it out! Any help really appreciated!
here are the details I have from my phone
Model SM-G920f
Active CSC code SIM
Available CSC codes.... lots including VOD (which is the one I think i need)
Bootloader version G920FXXU3DPBG
CSC Version G920FVFG3DPC1
Baseband version G920FXXU3DPB6
I have been trying to load :
Bootloader G920FXXS3DPF5
CSC G920FVFG3DPC1
Many thanks,
CHris
Did you manage to get this to work. I am considering doing the same..does it still remain as a dual sim phone after ?

SM-G930V purchased in Australia

Hi All,
I have a moderate experience in flashing firmwares and modding my samsung devices over the years.
I have recently purchased an S7 which is unfortunately a SM-G930V model, i thought it would have been the SM0G930F which would have made life much easier.
I want to know if it is possible to get the original Australian firmware or even generic stock firmware on this device?
My issue is with the network settings where i have manually put in APN settings my match my carrier and 4G coverage in australia.
If not am i able to just flash a different baseband to this device preferably Australian?
I have read that flashing a different model firmware will soft brick the device, i just want some insight before i start breaking things, also what are my options.
Much appreciated, thanks, Will
You have the snapdragon s7, you can't flash the exynos 930f firmware on it, you can only flash the american firmware. You might have luck with the 930u unbranded firmware just do some research on it.
Thanks mate,
I'm going to flash this firmware using ODIN, do you know if it will be successful?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/xda-community-love-g930u-t3415875
not sure how to check my bootloader version etc
No clue, goto the verizon subforum and see if anyone flashed the 930u firmware on their 930v.
Just tried to flash the firmware to my phone and recieved an error, the phone is now stuck at download mode with error:
sw rev check fail : [system] fused 3 > binary 4
this means the bootloader won't accept the firmware?
LOL, guess ill try another firmware.. Any ideas?

Which CSC did you use to flash:
CSC_EVR or HOME_CSC_EVR?
You must use the 1st one: CSC_EVR
So, you have to flash: AP BL CP & CSC_EVR (your device will be resetted)
