This is a bizarre situation. I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 from a local store, and clearly it was used as it was not in its original box and accessories. Well the price was cheap, so I did not mind. The phone is original, I can confirm, however there is a strange issue. In the 'About device' it is written that the phone is a SM-G900F model, while under the battery there is the sticker with GT-S5830i (yes Galaxy Ace !!!) with a wrong IMEI and S/N. Furthermore, the phone was rooted I checked with two apps from the playstore. The phone had an issue as well, I can see in the background all the time a VERY faint image of the Easy mode, and interestingly I cannot get into Easy mode. So I thought to flash a latest firmware downloaded from sammobile (of course the SM-G900F version). However the flashing process keeps failing. And to my surprise in the Odin mode, it says: Product name: SM-G900P. So, I have a S5 which is a Sprint variant and unlocked but says it is the International variant in 'About Device"?
My questions are:
1. How can I get the latest firmware and updates from Samsung (OTA updates)?
2. How can I remove the root?
3. If I have update the firmware manually using Odin, which one should I download, the SM-G900P version or the SM-G900F version (this had no success)?
3. Will updating the firmware cause the phone to be locked again?
4. What should I really do? I know I can complaint to the seller, but I am curious about this situation.
NOTE:
Bootloader: G900PVPU2B0D3
Build ID: KOT49H.G900FVPU1AND2
Baseband version: G900FVPU1AND2
Kernel version: 3.4.0-964333
This is what happens when you buy a refurbished phone...
Because you got a g900p bootloader, try flash with odin the latest g900p rom (OK4).
If you can't flash because some error, i would try:
Flash only the bootloader (g900p OK4)
Flash the baseband to the last one (g900f OL3, if got any error flashing this baseband try flash g900p OK4)
Flash TWRP recovery
Flash ALEXNDR BOK6 rom -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-ane4-kitkat-4-4-2-multi-csc-t2813628
Mine like you.

please spare some time for help me..... I am trouble due to this problem
Use Samsung Smart Switch emergency recovery.
I just bought an s7 in canada, and it seems to be rooted and running Hydra rom ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-hydra-rom-v1-2-aroma-t3455653 ) that is an s7 edge rom
The device keeps showing as G935f which is an s7 edge but this is NOT an edge. I want to return to stock but I have no idea what phone this actually is. And what carrier it is tied to. I can't flash a stock firmware if I dont know the exact carrier it was originally on, and the guy said he bought it unlocked from another guy
This should hopefully give you more info https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
If it's unlocked you can flash a stock firmware of your choice no? I haven't got a clue what carrier my grey import was originally on but it flashed my carriers firmware fine.
Go to:
About device -> Software info
Under baseband version the real model of the shown should appear.
My Baseband version is "G930W8VLU2BQB6" and G930W8 is the model number.
