Hey everyone,
A year ago my store changed the retail phones to the newer s9, so -after I asked my boss- I took one with me home, but it's just unusable with the factory retail mode..
Saying first this is a SM-G955X phone, do you think that I could flash the SM-G955F firmware over it to at least use it as a tablet?

Yep it is possible, but sim part still not working because there is no modem hardware inside
The solution was pretty easy at last
I needed to just flash the SM-G955F version in there, and everything works as a charm -well, nearly everything. Samsung account gives me error when I try to login-

Hello xda-developers and thank you for reading this. I bought a new Nexus 5 today and flashed it with the original Google Lollipop ROM realeased some days ago. Everything runs fine so far but I can't get the service working. I've searched old threads to the best of my ability but couldn't find a solution, I hope you can. As said in the title I'm going with Vodafone Germany. Attached are some screenshots that hopefully give you all the information you need.
Thanks in advance!

No problem here with Vodafone Germany on my Nexus 5 running Android 5.0. Maybe your Sim Card is defect? Do you have another phone to test the Sim.
I tested the sim today on another phone, it works fine. I am currently testing different modems... I was hoping to avoid unlocking my brand new phone for a while but hey

Shouldn't be necessary to install another modem. Maybe it is a hardware defect? Do you have another Sim to test the Sim tray? Was it working on 4.4 before you flashed Lollipop?

I didn't test it before I installed Lollipop. It could be a Hardware defect (But I'd find that odd, I ordered it online and it runs perfect aside from the cell signal) I will return it if I get fed up with the issue, but that would mean no phone for another 3-4 days
Why do you think a different modem won't make a difference? A different SIM card did get a signal in Nexus when I asked for help in a vodafone shop I was if I recall correctly. But my SIM card also worked in another phone
Edit: I tested another SIM card just now, it showed service for a while with an exclamation mark (see attachment) but then went back to 0 bars
Edit 2: Also not working on Android 4.4.4

I'm not a developer, have you tried changing the preferred network type to wcdma only or gsm only in the phone testing menu?

I already tried the LPX13D Modem (from the list of different modems for the Nexus 5 by autoprime on xdadev, can't link to it because I have less than 10 posts...). Is the one you linked any different?

Well it looks like I was sent a broken phone... I will return it tomorow. If someone reads this in the next 12 hours and has another idea I'd love to hear it
Thanks for your time guys.
Does anyone know where i can find ANY custom roms for the SM-915G? Ever since I've brought the Note Edge, I feel like it needs alot of enhancements as I absolutely love using custom roms.
My advice is keep wait for more developers . Same here "G"
Same boat as you both , 915G waiting for some good custom rom developers to release their amazing roms
Me too. 915G stock firmware + root + CWM from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993. Now can not pair with my Moto 360 anymore as bluetooth problem. SuperSU takes very slow to response. Installing any softwares on Play Store or apk files are the same, it took 5-10 minutes to complete installed. Boring... Waiting to a custom rom from developer to save me. Now, it is a nightmare...

Hello. I bought a Samsung N915G from Saudi Arabia and has not in setting European languages (German, Roamania ...). Please give me details how to proceed to install another version from European soft (N915FY) on my phone. Thank you in advance.
As we have no Rom's to flash, I decided to try and flash the most recent no carrier firmware from SamMobile. (N915GXXU1ANK4)
I was on the Original Vodafone firmware and I have to say the non-bloat version is much snappier. I needed to factory reset and set everything up again. However now I feel like the phone is performing more like it should with theses specifications.

My last Samsung phone was a note 3, 2 years ago. After that I went through some other non Samsung phones so I wanted to check if this was still the same:
I had bought it through my carrier and then downloaded and flashed the factory unlocked firmware via odin to remove carrier bloat.
Does this still work?

I currently have a shield tablet Y01 ,its on stock Nougat (5.1 ota update). not rooted or bootloader unlocked
Previous owner did the recall and new tablet will be here in 3-4 weeks , so tablet is currently working
What can I do to make sure this isnt killed ?
Need a n00b guide really as havent flashed anything since a htc desire
no one ??
Root, then use a root explorer to delete TegraOTA.apk.
Root guide is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2399737
TegraOTA guide is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/kill-kill-switch-shield-tablet-xx-t3179489
Alternatively, you can flash any custom ROM. They will prevent the tablet from updating as well.
So... The old killswitch-killer still works on Nougat? I could flash the nvidia stock, delete the TegraOTA.apk and go on with the newest official nvidia version?

Yup, did it successfully yesterday also. After stumbling onto this thread, i was encouraged enough... Went pretty smooth.
BTW, newest FullOTA (WiFi) is available directly from nvidia servers, as An Droid mentions here: http://ota-downloads.nvidia.com/ota...-full_ota-1928188_850.6612.20170219210839.zip
Hello,
Sorry for up this last thread, but I'm in the same position that the OP.
I have a pyro tablet on stock Nougat (the original owner did the recall) and it is still working (for 3 weeks). Is the kill switch disallowed for Nougat?
Should I unlock the bootloader and root it for remove the TegraOTA?
Thank you!
Yes.

I have rooted two Android phones previously and rooted this model once before. I have spent over an hour searching the forums for any clear answers and all I can find is jargon and nicknames that take me 10 minutes to unpack for each forum post only to discover that it might or might not apply to my particular phone.
Enough complaining.
What can I do with my phone with my LG G4 h81022c?
Can I put a different Marshmallow rom on it?
Can I get to Nougat?
Can I root it?
I have been having issues with the Google Play service apps like Store, Music, and Photos and need to at the very least restore to factory settings.
I think there should be a sticky thread saying "If you go past update xxxxxx you are screwed"

Nougat is not out yet. And only choice is factory reset. I don't think we have newer firmware to flash. And you most likely cannot flash an older one due to antirollback.

WOW! That's amazing that they have neutered this phone so much I'm several security updates behind and I have no faith that LG and AT&T will upgrade my phone.

There's already a thread about an update coming hopefully by the end of the year.
But I think the G4 was a dud right when the bootlooping started.
