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.

Probably, yeah, but it's best to go for unlocked firmwares.

Hey, so I just bought a second hand s6. When purchasing I only checked the major hardware stuff like everything in *#0#* and the calling etc and didn't bother to check other stuff which is stupid on my part. Anyway, when I got home and tried to use themes nothing happened. The Theme Store button didn't do anything when I tapped it and still didn't work after I added a samsung account and everything. There a bunch of other issues as well such as all the options in the System Update menu being pretty much useless, they all did nothing when I tapped on them.
Sorta got fed up of all this and decided to do a factory reset. Once I get back into the phone after reset, the screen grid option that you get when you pinch in was greyed out which is really annoying since the 4x4 is just not for me. Then I decided to root it so I can just get a custom rom in and get rid of all these issues altogether but when I got into download mode it said the phone's version is G920P instead of G920F. The guy I bought from said it's the international G920F and it even says G920F in the about phone section. The confusing thing is that it instead says G920P when I get into download mode. I don't even know what it is anymore, is it sprint or is it international ?
Anyway, is there any fix to all the issues I've been having like the screen grid option being greyed, the system updates menu being useless and the theme store not working at all.
Also, what do I do about rooting and roms ? Do I treat it as a sprint variant or an international variant? It'd be a pretty massive bummer if it's sprint since there are pretty much no worthwhile roms for me.
Pls halp
Here's all the stuff it says in About Device:
Model Number: SM-G920F
Android version: 5.1.1
Baseband Version: G920FXXU2COH2
Kernel Version: 3.10.61-5496010

This bad or good ? ;-;
Also worth mentioning that it says 920F on the back as well. Would flashing the whole stock firmware of 920F through odin be a feasible option ? It says 920F on the back so it has to be that variant right ? If this is possible please direct me to a firmware I should flash and a guide of how to do it, bit of a noob here.
Bumping this up before going to sleep, any help would be appreciated, thanks.
When I get mine s6 there was a sticker at the back showing its serial number. It's written on its box also. If you have this you can use Samsung kias to flash the firmware designed for your phone.
There's an S/N at the back, I'm assuming this is the serial number. I want to root and install some custom roms though but I'm not sure how to go about doing that since I don't know what version my device exactly is.
Pls halp
Attached a screenshot with more info. Hope this helps.
I'm not sure what the previous owner did but your device code name zerofltespr is P variant.
I see, so I should treat it as a sprint variant for rooting and custom roms then ? Just making sure before I go through with the stuff so I don't brick the phone.
Also, anyone got up to date links for how to root and install custom recovery on the sprint version of the s6 ?
@Skyrus5150
Download the Phone Info app for Samsung, take a screenshot and post it here.
Settings show G920F, that can be changed by editing build.prop but the back cover shows 920F as well? That's the odd part.
The previous owner has somehow got the device name to show zerofltespr which is a G920P (Sprint). Not sure how he got a CDMA device code on a GSM device.
Boot into Download Mode, see what it says there, that can't be changed as far as I know.
It will show the actual model number, whether it's 920F or 920P.
Here you go, what should I do. Yeah the bootloader says 920p but the back is 920f, maybe the phone was opened or smith.
Pls halp
Downloaded root checker, according to it the phone's rooted as well. Downloaded TWRP Manager as well, should I just go ahead and install custom recovery with it and select S6 Sprint in the device options ?

Rooted with 0x0 KNOX, some dark magic is at work here. Maybe engineering bootloader?
Anyway, just download a G920P stock firmware and flash it. Then proceed to do a factory reset/data wipe in stock recovery and have your phone back to normal, which is a G920P.
Back says G920F, but it should show an IMEI and S/N as well, do they match those of your phone? I'm certain they don't, but still... check.

LOL, the back says 920F but I entered the IMEI into two different checking services and they both show it as a 925F (S6 Edge), this phone is going places.
Anywho, the stock firmware is supposed to be flashed through odin yes ? Could you please link me to a guide and links to download, maybe even let me know which specific firmware I'm supposed to install. Sorry, I'm a former LG user and I have no idea how Odin and all these shenanigans work. Also, the phone will remain unlocked even after flashing stock firmware, yes ? Currently using it in Pakistan.

Aah a fellow Pakistani. Where are you from? Drop me a PM, I may not be allowed to post some links here.
Yes, stock firmware is going to be flashed with Odin. Will send links for downloading, and guide you as well.
Yes to your second question as well, once Samsung phones are unlocked, they will stay unlocked.
hi
i have galaxy s4 i want to flash it
but
i dont know my model because
in setting and under battery show gt-i9505
and in download mode show sph-720t
so im confused witch frimware is valid for my phone
hey
does your phone turn on?
which android version are you using if it does?
why do you need to know what you asked for?
explain maybe i can further help you.
are you using verizon or at&t phone? (probably not since you said it's i19505)

very simple, go to settings, and scroll down to where it says about phone or info or something, then click software info, and you can find everything there. it is probably i9505.

ok your firmware is sprint, what Odin showing is the correct one, search for cwm for sph-720t.
DO NOT FLASH ROM VIA ODIN, flash new cwm or twrp recovery, then flash new rom through recovery. your firmware is most likely sph-720t which is sprint

i think is unlock because any sim card work and i leave in algeria not in us
your phone might not be original, because if you bought it in Algeria it should be the international version, basically i think it is the sprint version, if Odin says so, you should look for your sprint firmware, but also for android 5.0.1

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 guys. Hope anyone of you can help me.
So I've bought the dual sim version from Dubai. Flashed Custom rom, flashed nordic CSC file. Everything was working fine for months.
No while I'm in Turkey. I inserted a second sim (turkish one). Phone asked for restart cuase it's detecting new sim.
Restarted phone and now I get red font error at Samsung logo. "Custom binary blocked by frp lock"
I can't boot in to recovery mode either. This is very strange. What could be messed up? Huh
Any help please. I would love to save my data before wiping everything!!
Let me know! Appreciate it!

You have to go to updato.com and download your firmware. Then Odin flash it, then go to developer settings and check off OEM unlock.

Recovery Mode?stucked up... You can re-flash the ROM.This time Dont go for Custom Rom
Use Offical Rom Provided By Samsung...Cheers
Different Custom roms aren't built accordingly as the offical work fines and smooth:good:
Guarantee you flashing stock rom will not work.
I've been stuck in recovery and download mode and downloaded all the official samsung firmware for my phone, 100% exact and 100% correct firmware.
Been trying for days and days and days.....all flashes ok, but simply reboots to android recovery saying same old SHI*
Which is:
something along the lines of DRK not installed and to install ENG boot or binary.
I've downloaded from coreect site, efinitely the correct firmwarefor my phone model and carrier etc etc....nothing works.
tried different versions of odin etc.
Nope, nothing.
I've got a BRICK!
Took my phone into Samsung store today, they looked at it and basically said, warranty void - only way to fix it is to fit a brand new board!
getting it back Tuesday, but costing me £250 ! ! ! !
Matt.
first of all sorry for my bad English.

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

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.
