The informations on download mode are in chinese and I don't see any number. Have you an other solution. Thanks
According to the screen shots, the phone had an sm-g930o bootloader and baseband but the model number says 930fd.
Does the IMEI match a 930o or 930fd? Where did you get the phone? Does the IMEI in the phone match the IMEI on the box or anywhere on the packaging?

The IMEI in the phone IS the same that on the box. When I check IMEI, the return IS G930F Galaxy s7 (SM-G9300) and the phone IS a dual sim
The 930f (exynos) and 930o (Qualcomm) are different models.
The 930o is a China phone: http://www.phonemore.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-duos-sm-g9300/specs/3148 which explains the Chinese writing in download mode.
Where did you get the phone? Box looks like an original Samsung box? Does the phone have a label on the back with the IMEI?

I buy it on internet and yes the box is an original and the phone have the label on the back.
Do you know if I Can install Twrp and root this one and some custom roms? Thanks
I would not flash anything until your know the model number for sure.
The phone could have been put together with different parts or installed with incorrect software.
You see any model number in download mode? If there is no English, maybe attach a picture of the download screen.
Since the text in download mode is Chinese, I think the motherboard inside is a 9300 and the 9300 ROM could not be used because the China phone would not have the Google Play store.

But I have Google play store because if you look at the PDA it's G930FXXU1BPH6 which is G930F Hungary fw. They have mix some different fw. BL and CP are G9300 china and CSC is G9350 Hong Kong (TGY). I don't know that it was possible. I think the bootloader are unlock but not sure
If the bootloader is for a 9300, then it is a China model and the stock 9300 rom would not have the Play store which is probably why it has a 9300 bootloader and a rom from another country.

Yes you're right if the PDA is China. In my case the PDA is Hungary. For my culture, the PDA contain the different Google apk and services, no?
I would contact the seller and ask why the software is mixed up and maybe exchange the phone for another phone.

Ok thanks to you. I think he had convert a sm-g9300 into a sm-g930fd.
Samsung phones can't be converted from one model to another. Samsung bootloaders are not always locked but they are restricted to running bootloaders that are made for a particular model. Odin will not allow you to flash a 930f bootloader onto a 930o phone.
The phone motherboard is probably a 9300 and will only take ota updates if it is running a stock 9300 ROM. I'm not sure how you will be able to install security updates and patches.
I have the same problem. My phone is g930f buy the chipset is snapdragon. What firmware should I flash now?

Whichever model it says in Download Mode is the correct model, everything else can be faked, flash firmware for the model in download mode

In July I went to New York and bought an Galaxy S4 i9500 and messing around with the device I corrupt the EFS folder losing my IMEI.
Since it wasn't bought on my country (Brazil) I don't have any support nor warranty so I send it to a friend who owns a service box ( octopus probably) and flashing the ROM he asked me what is the country of origin of my device, since I bought in the US and this model in particular isn't supposed to be selled there I don't know wich country it came from and can't fix my device. The back label says it was made in china but i guess every other phone in the world was made there too .
(I bought it from the Samsung stand in the 5th ave Best Buy so it is original)
No problem
In phone setting option there is baseband version and build number from there you can find out where the device is from originally manufactured.
But now I think you have flashed other firmware and that original information is gone.Corruption of efs folder can be from many ways either flashing roms or wiping full internal memory by not following appropriate methods corectly.
You could have make efs backup in first place before experimenting with the phone.
But now you can try the following methods.
Try to flash latest modem to see if it help through odin.
One other method is that you can find your country of origin by your imei no which is on the box. Just call or email Samsung customer service in your country, I did in my case and they can tell you from the imei number the country of origin.

Ok Try to flash stock firmware and see if it helps and do tell me if you succeed.
You should be able to flash a stock firmware through ODIN and have the phone working again.
Then as mentioned above, before doing any work on the phone you should do a EFS backup, nandroid backup.
I remember with my previous phone (Galaxy Infuse) i was learning also how to root, tweak, modify the android and also "killed it". I was able to resurrect (in a manner of speak) the phone by loading the stock firmware the phone had when i first got it.
Good luck!
My friend said he repaired the device through the octopuss box and are sending me back. He couldnt upgrade to 4.3 because he didnt know the country of origin (like I said before). I call samsung to ask if they could say to me but here in Brazil the only company that really helps trough phone is Blizzard so I ended where I started. I found a website that using your serial number or IMEI can say where your device are from and I for my surprise it is indeed a chinese Galaxy S4. In Sammobile I found the CHN firmware that matched the time of fabrication (July) and probably its the stock firmware that I was looking for and one of the ones that I didnt tried to flash at the time.
The thing is now I'm too scared to try flashing this one to my mobile and ending ruining the device again and once more being forced to use my old ****ty iPhone. Any sugestions for me guys? (The device didnt arrive yet... i knew the serial and IMEI 'cause i noted down)
You don't have to flash firmware for country of origin. I'm in New Zealand and flash firmware from all over the world, the latest was UK firmware, with a modem extracted from Austrian firmware.
Just go to sammobile and make sure it's for i9500 and you'll be fine mate

What is the serial number of your phone? You can find it by beneath the battery or in settings, about device, status.

It's below the battery, next to the IMEI. It is a combination of letters and numbers and looks like this "S/N: XXXXXXXXXXX" (X= Letter/number)

Hello
I bought an s6 on ebay a few days ago (live demo unit) & under system settings it says model number is SM-G920X "no official/custom firmwares/roms for this model so far" but when i went into recovery menu (vol up+home+power) it said it was a LRX22G.G920IDVU1AOC6 model. The G920i got my attention though since demo units don't normally have any letters other than an x "I might be wrong here though" it also has a sim slot that does open and i can see a circut board in there.
Is this a real demo unit or retail unit with the demo firmware running on it? and if the later which firmware should i use?
Thanks for any help

Just go to Sammobile and find the SM-G920i firmware for your country. Its just a standard SM-G920i with demo software. Download the one thats for your country and flash via Odin 10

I do have the proper drivers for it as it shows up in light blue so i'm not sure what to do with it now, it still works but i'd like to install a custom rom or retail one if i could.
Thanks for the help
Hi,

Recently purchased a S7. Upon booting the phone a blue screen appeared and advised it was applying updates. Note this phone was bought as "Brand New, never used"
The box says SM-G9300. Used Sam info from play store and it advises the model is SM-G930F & Using the Qualcomm chip on android 6.01. To also note the phone had a factory reset on the 23rd April. Same day the phone was shipped to me
I go into Kies and try to update to android 7, advises serial is wrong. I tried the serial on the box/phone/sam info but could not get it working
After connecting the phone via USB a Verizon installation came up for SM-G930V. Tried up dating the phone via the Verizon app and it advised it could not update.
Does all of this seem strange? I do not understand why I see G9300 on the box, yet the phone appears to show SM-G930F & SM-G930V
What model numbes is back of your phone?

As I said, only trust download mode, your phone is SM-G930V
Same thing has been happening since at least the S5, they fake model numbers on boxes, on the back of the phone, and even fake the firmware to sell locked bootloader US models as unlocked international models because they are more popular and likely get more £ for them
Another clue would be your INFO app shows Qualcomm as the Chip manufacturer, Qualcomm make the Snapdragon found in the US locked models
If it was a G930F it would have a Samsung Exynos chip in it
Thank you for the info. that makes sense. Unfortunately I had purchased two of these. So looks like paypal dispute if they refuse to provide refunds.

g930v loaded with g9300 firmware
Hello,
I am kind of in the same situation as wiggleme here. The two differences are that on the back of my phone the model is g930p and that the phone is loaded with a chinese g9300 firmware. In download mode I also get g930v
Is there any way that I can get rid of the nasty chinese g9300 firmware and get google apps. I'm guessing it's not as simple as just flashing the g930u firmware?
Damn, I should of known better and avoided that dodgy looking chinese seller...
Hope someone can help me out on this one haha

And I'm just curious, do you know how they manage to get a back cover different to the actual phone? Could it mean the phone is no longer watertight?

Who knows with these dodgy sellers, maybe they have a method of wiping off the original IMEI and printing on another or like you say, possibly they switch the back over / motherboards
I have bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 in China. It comes with Chinese firmware (has English language though) but mostly with Chinese software, bloatware and without Google play store. So it does not sync with Google, searches go through Baidu, I can't find and install most apps so it's essentially not very fun to use.
So i want to replace the firmware with any US firmware like G930A, G930U etc. I personally think its possible cause Chinese S7 has Snapdragon 820 chipset like US S7. So basically the hardware of Chinese & US variants of S7 are same.
Just i need a proper step by step guide or ODIN tutorial to make this change. I am really tired of Chinese apps and bloatware. So please guys help me to get ride out of this. Please.
updato.com has all the firmwares for the various models and countries, and it has a step by step guide for flashing with Odin.

Boot into download mode, whatever model it says in there is the one you can flash new firmware for, do not try flashing firmware for the wrong model S7 or you can brick it
Exceptions are G930V can use G930U firmwares, and FD can use F firmware, I am not aware of any others
I recommend SamMobile for the firmware download and Odin for flashing it.
Read carefully the flashing instructions.
There are many threads with tutorials, we'll not going to post another tutorial here. Just use the search button and you'll find all the information you need about flashing with Odin.

I know how to flash with ODIN. But i wanted to change my firmware. My S7's model is SM-G9300 which is for Chinese open model. But in this model, there is no google apps and lots of bloatware everywhere. So i wanna replace it with any US firmware specially with SM-930U firmware. Cause i heard it gives smooth performance and bloatware less.

i saw some user changed their S7's G930A or G930V firmware with G930U firmware because of all the US model of S7 has snapdragon's hardware setup. That's why i am interested cause my G9300 also has snapdragon's hardware though it Chinese model. I know i can't flash exynos firmware in snapdragon's model because its completely different hardware setup.
So i wanted to know did anybody can successfully changed their G9300(Chinese) firmware with any US firmware? If did then what's the process? Or how can i replace it? Is there any way to do that without ODIN like with 'dongle' or 'magic flash box'? These are my queries.

But when I restarted my mobile after getting home phone got locked with this message "Custom Binary Blocked By FRP Lock" so decided to got into boot menu there I saw SMG930S written so i flashed mobile with SKT Korean firmware of smg930s but when I installed it I got tons of Korean apps and getting "BANDLTE" logo while switching off and on my phone I lost that Samsung Original logo which I had when my phone was converted into smg930fd. Now I want to switch back to Smg930fd settings/firmware so get rid of these Korean apps and Model to be appear as SMG930FD as the back of my Samsung Galaxy s7 glass has a phone model SMG930FD.

The same experience... If you are not on Oreo, I advice you to stay on Nougat or even Marshmallow.
Although this post has been posted for a long time but I still want to ask you that how did you get the g9300 device rooted properly?
first of all sorry for my bad English.
so I bought this samsung galaxy s7 : "SM-G930FZAAFG"
box said it was made in Vietnam but when I check my IMEI in the net it said this :
G930F Galaxy S7 (SM-G930K)
SIM card size: Nano Sim
and when tried to find the right firmware I found this :
KTC - South Korea - KT South Korea - G930KKKU2ERJ1_G930KKTC2ERJ1_KTC
I installed it and all but only one sim is detected as if the other one dose not exist at all .
but when I bough the phone both sim's were working and the phone has two slots
I am trying to find the right firmware for this phone
plz help me I tried everything
btw can I share my IMEI number ?

Unfortunately, Odin will not let you cross-flash bootloaders or ROMs. Cross-flashing may even brick the phone.
I recommend returning the phone as soon as possible.

thanks mate your reply's where very helpful
I will do that .. it's my only option
I searched and it seems to me that they were installing a custom rom !
becouse I did install a custom rom and it worked fine before flashing the phone with the SM-G930K
so I will install this one :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/rom-superstoc-rom-v1-0-aroma-t3496520
Good luck. Please report back with your results.
Thanks.
- Update -
I just installed TWRP for SM-G930F :
twrp-3.2.3-0-herolte
and then I add the the custom rom :
SuperMan-Rom SM-G930F V3.0.1_O_Final
and now everything is working fine even the sound and duel sim is working too
if we recap on this phone on the back of the phone it said SM-G930FD
and in Samsung download mode is said : SM-G930K
and on the operation system I am using a custom rom that said SM-G930K
by the way I am stuck with the TWRP can I flash back only the stock bootloader ?

You can but changing only the bootloader may cause problems with the installed ROM.
You should only install bootloaders that are meant for the phone model number that is shown on the download screen. Never try to downgrade the bootloader to an earlier version because this may cause additional problems that include bricking the phone.
