If you want to know for sure, you open the casing on the device, the true model number should be stamped/printed somewhere in side.
Or we can assume it is a SM-G920V that has been flashed with SM-G920F firmware to work on a different network. If that is true then flash the SM-G920V

Your quick response will be highly appreciated, thanks.
Looks like your model is N920V, Verizon model with a custom rom on it. You should be able to flash verizon firmware without issue
but how could he have a custom Rom on a verizon model???

I don't think it is a custom rom, I think It is a modified Stock Verizon Rom. Sm N920f doesn't exist as an original model as Samsung didn't do an European version of the Note5, phone info also said that is not refurbish. if you look at the phone details as I earlier posted you will see a mixup of Both N920f and N920v, I am just looking to hear from someone who as done it before, I don't want to brick this phone, I just got it.
same problem
i have same problem when i check about on devices its show N920F but when i check it using Phone Info Samsung it show N920V
if i flash it using N920V firmware, it will lock network to verizon? i use indonesian sim on it now.
if that locked to verizon how to unlock it again like now i used
Thanks for your help
I took a risk and flashed stock nougat (i found link on xdadevelopers website) on my so called n920f. Actually phone is not N920F, firmware was modifed to remove the branding. Its actually N920V.
To conclude, I flashed nougat 7.0 and its working perfectly, without any issue. I was worried regarding carrier locking after flashing the stock nougat, but it didn't as verizone says they don't lock LTE phones.

sm 920v became sm 920f
im from philippines. i tried my note 5 to update but stock in lollipop then i found out that its from verizon the real model is sm 920v and it was a custom rom of sm 920f. i read some replies here and im waiting for if i could flash nougat rom in sm 920v since its verizon does it can access the network signal
hope someone could help me this.
From N920F to N920V just download and install "Samsung Smart Switch" software on your PC, open the application and connect your phone to PC, click "MORE" , choose "Emergency Software Recovery & Initialization" then follow the instruction. It will reset to factory setting and upgrade the latest firmware (Nougat 7.0). The firmware is carrier unlock.

Yes, Smart Switch will do an OTA update automatically, no need ODIN because your phone has reset to normal factory setting with phone model N920V, no more N920F.

Yes, they are the same firmware iirc
earlier i used to downgrade easily but after updating to 7.0 latest update via OTA i now cant downgrade to 6.0. odin says failed. device says sw check revision failed.
The latest 7.0 firmware is DRAG and prevents downgrading, if you're on it I'm afraid you're stuck.
Flashing a custom ROM via TWRP might work, but the 7.0 bootloader doesn't play nice with 6.0. It'll break vibration.
what is the solution now. this 7.0 is crap drains battery without any reason and not so smooth like 6.0

Device X , Binary Y errors in Odin mean you are trying to flash an older firmware version than what is on your phone. Device X = current bootloader version number on phone. Binary Y = bootloader version you are trying to flash.
You will have to find latest version to flash for your phone. Bootloader version number is the 5 th number from the right of the firmware name.

Not sure if it will help if you can't boot into phone but in twrp have you tried a factory reset to see if it fixes issue or if you have a backup you could try and restore your phone from that.
If not and since don't know what version you were on before you will have to find the latest firmware for your region (and carrier).
Firmware name will look this(depending on your model)
Example.: G955FXXU2CRF7 the number 2 (5th from the right) will be the bootloader version number. The higher the number the latest released firmware.
I normally use updato.com for my firmware but you could use sammobil or samfirm.
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=S8+&exact=1
Make sure you select the right phone model and in the filter section select region (and carrier) to refine search.
Note: This will replace twrp with stock recovery and also use latest Odin 3.13.1

Does this apply to the CSC and AP too? Or is there a different way to tell the binary version of the AP and CSC? Because I get the error telling me I've fused 7 and bin 6 for CSC and fused 6 and bin 5 for AP.

Hi Everyone,
I bought Samsung Galaxy S7 Duos from Dubai.
The phone becomes so annoying as it has some kind of Adware built-in, which always opens different kinds of websites, pop-up ads and PlayStore links (after every few minutes).
I tried every possible way to get rid of it but nothing useful, even the factory reset or hard rest doesn't work. Because the OS it self is buggy.
According to its Settings, the phone has Model No. SM-G930FD, and Android 7.0
Now I want to install the fresh and updated firmware, so I can free my self from this Adware and can enjoy Android 8.0
I have downloaded Android 8.0 firmware for SM-G930FD
I tried Odin to install this new firmware but encountered a new issue:
According to Phone's Download Mode, the phone model is SM-G930S instead of SM-G930FD
This means someone installed the local ROM on the Korean Phone. (am I right?)
Now when I'm trying to install Android 8.0 firmware for SM-G930FD (of any other region) it shows the error:
"Secure Check Fail: (PIT)"
I am out of ideas on what to try next
Whatever it says in download mode is what the phone actually is, everything else has been faked.
It's a common scam to use modified firmware to make a phone appear to be a different model, as some models sells for more than others.
This is likely what has happened to you, and also the cause of the apparent adware.
Stock G930F or FD firmware will bootloop a G930S, which is probably why Odin is refusing. You would either need to flash stock G930S firmware, or use a custom ROM compatible with G930S

Thank you for the clarification
Now when I'm sure that my phone has G930S model, the option of stock ROM is only one: Android 8.0, Korea (SK Telecom)
1. By Googling a lot about this scam I'm afraid that changing the ROM may covert the phone into Single SIM version!
2. And if I install Korea (SK Telecom) ROM, will it lock the phone to Korean network only?
3. Do you think that "Korea (SK Telecom) ROM" will change everything into Korean?
Can you please clear my doubts
I don't know enough about the Korean stock ROM to answer those unfortunately.
But I do know many custom ROM's are compatible with G930F/FD and S, so I would assume allow dual SIM.
