My friend got a Samsung A50s 20 (MTK6580) by Vietnam. It's a clone/copy phone currently running S10 + clone firmware on it, which changed it's imei and serial. Recovery mode isn't working. Normal + Fastboot is fine.
I am not sure about phone original specification but its currently display 2 GB Ram and 32 GB Rom. Phone box only have Imei and model tag on it and includes a warranty and a guide sheet.
I am able to find it's stock ROM but it isn't free. Is it possible to find it's stock ROM/firmware or any other compatible ROM/Firmware suggestions.
I need help.
Thanks.

The informations on download mode are in chinese and I don't see any number. Have you an other solution. Thanks
According to the screen shots, the phone had an sm-g930o bootloader and baseband but the model number says 930fd.
Does the IMEI match a 930o or 930fd? Where did you get the phone? Does the IMEI in the phone match the IMEI on the box or anywhere on the packaging?

The IMEI in the phone IS the same that on the box. When I check IMEI, the return IS G930F Galaxy s7 (SM-G9300) and the phone IS a dual sim
The 930f (exynos) and 930o (Qualcomm) are different models.
The 930o is a China phone: http://www.phonemore.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-duos-sm-g9300/specs/3148 which explains the Chinese writing in download mode.
Where did you get the phone? Box looks like an original Samsung box? Does the phone have a label on the back with the IMEI?

I buy it on internet and yes the box is an original and the phone have the label on the back.
Do you know if I Can install Twrp and root this one and some custom roms? Thanks
I would not flash anything until your know the model number for sure.
The phone could have been put together with different parts or installed with incorrect software.
You see any model number in download mode? If there is no English, maybe attach a picture of the download screen.
Since the text in download mode is Chinese, I think the motherboard inside is a 9300 and the 9300 ROM could not be used because the China phone would not have the Google Play store.

But I have Google play store because if you look at the PDA it's G930FXXU1BPH6 which is G930F Hungary fw. They have mix some different fw. BL and CP are G9300 china and CSC is G9350 Hong Kong (TGY). I don't know that it was possible. I think the bootloader are unlock but not sure
If the bootloader is for a 9300, then it is a China model and the stock 9300 rom would not have the Play store which is probably why it has a 9300 bootloader and a rom from another country.

Yes you're right if the PDA is China. In my case the PDA is Hungary. For my culture, the PDA contain the different Google apk and services, no?
I would contact the seller and ask why the software is mixed up and maybe exchange the phone for another phone.

Ok thanks to you. I think he had convert a sm-g9300 into a sm-g930fd.
Samsung phones can't be converted from one model to another. Samsung bootloaders are not always locked but they are restricted to running bootloaders that are made for a particular model. Odin will not allow you to flash a 930f bootloader onto a 930o phone.
The phone motherboard is probably a 9300 and will only take ota updates if it is running a stock 9300 ROM. I'm not sure how you will be able to install security updates and patches.
I have the same problem. My phone is g930f buy the chipset is snapdragon. What firmware should I flash now?

Whichever model it says in Download Mode is the correct model, everything else can be faked, flash firmware for the model in download mode
Hello people
Can I flash SM-A750FN/DS with firmware from SM-A750GN/DS via Odin 3.13.1 or other flash tool?
Is this trips knox or not?
I need it to enable internal call recording in the phone.
Because of GDPR my european phones (Note 10+, Note 9 and Note8, S10+, S10e, Fold, Z flip and other ) can not record calls.
Internal recorder is enabled for Thailand and because phone have MULTI-CSC which includes THL CSC, so I just use Thailand SIM card to switch CSC via factory reset to THL and recording works great for all these models.
My friends phone Samsung Galaxy A series A7 (2018) SM-A750FN/DS do NOT have THL in its multi-csc, and I found the THL is in the model SM-A750GN/DS.
As I see the phones are identical just F and G letteres differs.
Currently FN phone is with 3BRK2 - so boot 3rd, android 9, from 2019, December, fw edition 2
I download GN firmware with is 5BTA1 - so boot 5th, android 9 from 2020, January, fw edition 1
For what I know there is no problem from boot 3rd to boot 5th but the models are diffrent FN and GN?
* * *
Any other way to use internal call recording? (Some people talks about XID CSC_HOME flash only.)
Best regards,
Cho
I'm not sure because I always use the right firmware model.
Same queston, I have SM-A750FN, can I flash Android 10 frimware from SM-A750F or SM-A750GN with Odin or I need to wati for for FN?
Here's the released frimware:
https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__A7__/mm38/INS/A750FXXU4CTBC/A750FODM4CTBC/
Just wait a couple days to the official release for this model. I wouldn't recommend you to do that because in some Android 10 firmwares for A7 (2018) the bootloader has been updated, making impossible to go back to Pie, so if anything doesn't work well you won't be able to do a rollback. And remember that this phone has different variants with different specs.
Be patient, it will arrive soon.

Hi everyone,
I have a spare Folder2 from Korea, the G160N variant. There's only like an official Nougat ROM from Samsung, but it's for the G1650 variant (HK).
I'm just wondering if there is a way to flash this (G1650) firmware into the G160N phone?
Thanks
PS:
This is the link to the firmware I want to flash to the G160N - https://updato.com/download-samsung...hk/sm-g1650/6C96A9832BB411E89F15FA163EE8F90B/
This is the link to the original firmware of the G160N - https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G160N/KOO
I already tried flashing it with the modded Odin but it just says its passed without actually flashing it...
The SM-G1650 (dual SIM) specification appears similar to the SM-G160N (single SIM). However, it is unknown how the modem's software will behave in the absence of a second slot. It's also unknown whether the 32 GB partition can be flashed with firmware with partition distribution for 16 GB.
Do further study before you hastily flash the firmware.
Hey there,
Thanks for your reply.
I don't intent to flash the firmware now (considering the apps I need still support Android 6) but rather I'd like to keep it until the warranty runs out.
I understand your concerns, I also have those while researching the phones specs as well (f**k you Samsung), I have noticed that so far the differences of the devices are the physical keyboard which has the Korean 12 key instead of Chinese 12 keys. The G1650 also supports more frequency bands (considering it's sold in China) compared to G160N. Also the storage and dual SIM issue you've already mentioned.
I've been thinking, is there a way to modify/cook the firmware to conform to these specs? Like using the original firmware and do a check and replace the components that the G160N doesn't need?
It's kinda funny how neglected this model is considering it is for the South Koreans lol compared to the Chinese version that have the Android 7.1.1 upgrade. Even though this phone is a redone version of the G160N released in 2017.
Thanks a lot
