I was hoping someone could help me out. I have a Korean firmware Galaxy Note 10, i have scoured through the internet trying to find a solution or a flashable firmware to change it back to the UK firmware, to my recollection they both have the same processor.
I have gone as far as rooting so that it could open some doors in terms of reverting back to the UK firmware. i was wondering if anyone could help.
Everytime i tried flashing the UK firmware using Odin it would say the bootloader is locked, however i did unlock the bootloader before attempting to flash the firmware.
Maybe the UK firmware you trynna install is older than the one you already have? Maybe it's preventing flash for such Security reasons?
Tried flashing bootloader only?
Firmware without bootloader?

would you know where i would be able to obtain the firmware?
You can't install Uk firmware onto n976n, this model has only 4 CSC available and all of them Korean.

Hi Guys,
I just received the XT1033 Lollipop notification and clicked upgrade.... Unfortunately the upgrade failed and I suspect perhaps that's because I have clockworkmod installed instead of the stock recovery?
Where do I go from here? How do I get my phone so the upgrade installs successfully?
I'm in New Zealand if that matters. Not sure if you get a different OTA update per country?
Also note, the phone is still working fine (ie not bricked or anything), just the upgrade is failing to install
Flash a stock ROM or gpe and upgrade from there.
Sent from my XT1039 using XDA Free mobile app
Which ROM, does it matter?
I keep seeing stock roms for Brazil/India/Asia, but I live in NZ so I'm not sure what to install. There doesn't seem to be any NZ roms
Plus none of the links in "how to restore to stock" tutorials and faq's seem to work anymore
Can you point me in the right direction please?
You can still install official lollipop if your phone has bootloader unlocked and custom recovery but I would suggest starting from scratch. If you bought phone from anywhere in Asia then flash stock asian KitKat ROM and if you bought it from Brazil then flash stock Brazilian KitKat rom. After that you can update your phone to official lollipop.
PS- there is no NZ ROMs for xt1033. Only Asian and Brazilian. It depends on the region from where you buy the phone, not where you live.
I bought it in NZ...
Aha! I found in the phone settings it says 210.12.40.falcon_umtsds.AsiaRetail.en.03
Asia rom it is then, I'll go try it out

You should not need to unlock bootloader to flash the fastboot firmware image.

Hi,
I have a G920F, I was rooted and want to go to stock again. I have restored the device with Smart Switch, but now I am unable to flash any other rom. I have downloaded 3 different roms from Sammobile and get sw. check failed device 3 binary 2 at everyone. The current rom is form Italy Wind the latest OI9. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, probably you trying to install oldest firmware 5.0.1, download the latest firmware and try again. You are with 5.1, right? This error on odin happens, because you cannot downgrade the firmware. Hope this helps.
I think you can not downgrade even if it is the same Android version.
If it detects you are on a newer bootloader it will give you that error.
What I belive you can do is to extract the bootloader (sboot) and modem from the .tar file and flash ONLY the system through Odin.
Don't know exactly how to do that because I haven't done it but I think that would do; you will have to search and read my friend.
You will have the stock firmware but with latest bootloader and modem.
Hope this helps.
Note: As far as I know this will work if its the same Andorid version; you can not have Android 5.0.2 with 5.1.1 bootloader.

Hi,
I have tried what you said, but no succes. The firmware was already recovered with smart switch so the bootloader is the latest.

But did you try to flash without the bootloader and modem?
Hi! I have flashed and engineer boot file to my S7 and it is stuck in a boot loop. I am having trouble finding the stock firmware to fix the problem. What I have found is not fixing the loop. Does anyone have the stock firmware I can use/buy to fix the problem? Can I use a different version as long as it is an AT&T variant? I cannot risk wiping the phone when i do this procedure.
Thanks!
You can't flash stock firmware without wiping.
Updato.com and sammobile.com have all the stock firmware for all model devices.
You should be able to flash any G930A or G930U firmware, except you won't be able to downgrade (i.e. you can't go from nougat to MM).

Thanks for the reply Beanvee! I'll check Updato.com. I wasn't familiar with this one. Sammobile and Samsung-firmware didn't have this firmware version. Anybody else out there have the firmware for this model?
Thanks

I flashed 7.0 on my S7. Also; it was a 930A I flashed to a 930F. Works excellently. I have Xposed as well. So the firmware can be found here in XDA.
Hi,
Im interested in flashing stock G930U rom on G930V phone. Do i need to modify bootloader / anything else before flashing with Odin?
Thanks!

I noticed its the wrong forum. apologies.
no. i was on U firmware from my previous ATT firmware version without unlocking the bootloader (and i think that is impossible for US version) and without modifying anything.
I was able to successfully flash G930U firmware on G930V phone using Odin. didnt need to open anything or to do modifications prior to flashing.
Yep, stock firmware doesn't require an unlocked bootloader unless you're downgrading. The snapdragon models also can't be bootloader unlocked anyway.
Hello All,
After rooting and installing a rom i now dont have a working modem, i attempted to reflash the stock rom using odin but each time it fails to write when using the AP. i have managed to update the modem with odin but did not work.
I believe i may be using the wrong stock firmware files. could anyone help me please to locate the stock firmware? sammobile doesnt seem to be able to let you download firmware for free anymore?
Its an unlocked device but i had it through EE so i believe this is the file i need? can you please help
