My Galaxy S6's model number in about phone settings say G920F and its andriod version 5.0 . And i want to upgrade it to version 7.0.
But it also says "Product Name: G920S" in Download Mode. So i don't really know how to go about it now.

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.

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.
my father present me s5 to my birthday but it looks so nasty. at about phone it seems G900f but bootloader it looks G900p.
i wanna use 3g or lte but it occurs other word 3g or lte doesnt work. i just wanna use 3g but i dont no what should i do When i turn on 3g it say Unable to Establish Wireless Data Connection LTE-ESM-33 EMM-x
I recently got a Galaxy S6 for free as a replacement after my LG G4 bootlooped, and I'm having trouble figuring out the actual model so I can update it to a later firmware (currently 5.1.1) and change regions if possible. Since it's a grey import it says it's a SM-G920F on the back of the phone. It also says this in settings/about phone. But when I downloaded the Sammobile app it says the model number is SM-G920P. Surely that's incorrect?
Also, I can't seem to search for updates like on my other (locally bought in Australia) Galaxy S6 edge+. There's no option in settings to look for an update. How is that possible?
All I want to do is change the firmware to my local region (Australia) or something similar, but I have no idea what firmware to download. Can someone please help me? I'm so confused.
download, install and run Smart Switch, go to emergency initialization (you have tutorial I created, so you can chek posts created by me and find it there) with your sn, it will tell you what model it is and which is latest fw for that model.
It can also dowload and install it on your phone if you complete the process.

Hello i am new here i have some questions plz.clear my mind issue is i have galaxy s7 g930p when i dial*#1234# it shows AP, CP G930P AND CSC G930F what is this??? I want to update oreo which firmware should i use i am in pakistan and already use os marshmallow
Boot into download mode (Power + Home + Vol Down) and check what model number it says you have there.
Then download the firmware specifically for that model and nothing else.
Thanks for reply... in download mode its shows g930p and also in settings same model name and also back on phone side same but in recovery mode shows g930v
Here is some detail...
In the Downloads mode SM-G930P is displayed,
in the Phone Info also SM-G930P,
in the manufacturer "Samsung / Verizon",
product code "Not Active",
Original CSC code is empty,
CSC firmware code VZW,
active VZW firmware code,
available CSC codes are empty,
SCS country USA / HK,
Bootloader version G930PVPU4APL6,
PDA version G930PXXU1BPIA,
version CSC G930FXXU1BPIA,
radio module version G930PVPU4APL6.
Which model firmware should i download
Download mode is the only value that can't be changed by modifying the firmware, so it's your true model.
The G930P is the US Sprint S7 model running Snapdragon, so you can use any Snapdragon firmware with Odin (G930U/V/T/P) but don't attempt to flash anything Exynos as it will brick your phone (G930F/FD/W8/K)
G930U is the carrier unlocked generic firmware, so the best one to use if you don't want bloat etc.
Thank u so much can i now install latest update of g930u? in odin fill all boxes with g930u files also csc g930fxxu1bpia with g930u file?
Thank you so much sm-g930u firmware with oreo now working in my sm-g930p no any issue here thanks
