Does ANYBODY happen to know what the right firmware is for these models? I am trying to revert to stock to return the phone. I've tried all 3 firmwares from the UK (H3G, O2 and Vodafone).....the H3G Odin'd properly but it's obvious that is NOT the firmware the phone came with, and the other 2 FAIL in Odin. As the title says, this an unlocked SM-G920F bought on Amazon in the US and being used on AT&T. 32GB btw.
Anybody have any help?

Have you factory reset after installing H3G? If yes, then it would be very difficult to find out the stock rom.
But if you have not reset then install phone info from google play, and check the csc. It will tell your original firmware code.

Although all the SM-P905 have the same hardware, they're customized for specific cellular provider and bootloader is locked.
You can try to flash with Odin but I believe you will have a fail as it detects wrong firmware, like P905V is for Verizon, P905A for AT&T.
they're not interchangeable although mainboard is exactly the same.
No. USA firmware is not compatible with international devices.
P905V is not the same device as P905. The P905V is a locked device, with branded firmware locked to Verizon devices. T905 is the T-Mobile USA variant of the exact same locked firmware problem.
You need to use international firmware for the international P905.
Confirmed, I have tried T905XXUBOI1 , but failed during flashing unfortunately
hopefully someone can solve it one day , it shouldnt be difficult

I own and have opened different LTE tablets, I can tell they are the same tablet, only Samsung has this ability to
unlock the bootloader and load the desired firmware. I can swap mainboard of SM-P905V to a SM-P907A tablet or vice versa without
any problem which indicates they are identical tablets except firmware and bootloader.
Any way, Lollipop 5.02 and 5.1.1 have no differences as it depends on the model.
Like Tab Pro SM-T900 is 5.1.1 but Note Pro SM-P900 is 5.0.2, don't bother to load different firmware from another model.
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?

I bought a V10 H901 in Aliexpress and the IMEI sayd that was a H901BK. It was with the T-Mobile software and Android 6 MM. In PC it said the H90121j and I wanted to upgrade to 7 Nougat and I put the phone in the PC and after the update with LG Bridge it just bricked. Died and do not back to life. I unbreacked my phone with this tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-v10/help/lg-h900-unbrick-via-qfil-t3739309
The Unbrick H901 SD card didn't work, but this worked.
After that, I tried to install all H901 firmwares and didn't work. So I decided to install the H900 firmware and the phone finelly worked. It's working everything fine with no malfunction. Just the Android back to 6 MM, but with the AT&T apps.
I didn't understand nothing. My phone was a fake H901, because is a Refurbished phone. I'd like to install the Nougat update. Is it possible?

Just check at&t website= https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...bystep_KM1134561?make=LG&model=LGH900&gsi=oyB
at&t is just behind as always with updates. The other carriers like Verizon, T-mobile etc just push the updates to the devices without sim card or other crap steps

I have same exact problem with same refurbished phone h90121j I unbricked with the same method but I cant install AT&T software because LGUP says that I can't go from H901 to H900. I can flash any other H901BM firmware but my phone bricks again and again.

You'll probabilly need an Octopus box to reinstall the firmware. Try to find someone who can help you with that.

I have opened the phone and find that the motherboard is from VS990 (Verizon). What a scam!

Yes. I have used this method to unbrick from 9008 mode and get download mode https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-v10/help/lg-h900-unbrick-via-qfil-t3739309
Then extracted dz from AT&T H90021w.kdz using LGExtract.exe
And then flashed dz to phone via LGUP.
It's strange but AT&T firmware is only one that working in this case. On my phone without any bugs, fingerprint working, can install apps from play store etc. Only downside is that you will be stuck on Android Marshmallow but at least you'll get working phone.

Probably this method wont work on korean models without bugs. Not sure about kdz and dz. You can try.
Thank you so much!! I tried for a long time to restore the phone, finally the phone works, YOU ARE DIRECTLY HERO))
