Dear All,
I am struggling to introduce different firmware to my GT-i9500CHN.
I have got from China original Samsung retailer. (went thru several checks it is genuine GT-i9500)
I have tried to put 'European' firmware as Chinese one is 'google-less' and has only Samsung Chinese IME. (I am living in the UK)
My current baseband version is I9500ZCUCMF3 and handset is not accepting any other (getting 'soft brick' via ODIN), so I am able to go back only to I9500ZCUCMF3.
My Kernel version is: 3.4.5-868190 [email protected] #1, Mon Jul 1 20:14:37 KST 2013
Has anyone have experience with changing that firmware?
Thank you for your support.
Flash it 5 file in Odin.

Terazoido,
Thank you for the hint. I will try to download it tonight and flash it with ODIN 3.09.

Flash a recovery via ODIN, CWM or TWRP. Then you could flash non-stock ROM. Leave the baseband alone....

I have finally managed to download rar. It contains:
1.adonis_3g.pit
2.BOOTLOADER_I9500ZSUBMF6_927537_REV00_user_low_sh ip.tar.md5
3.CODE_I9500ZSUBMF6_927537_REV00_user_low_ship.tar .md5
4.MODEM_I9500XXUBMF8_REV01_CL1331687_SIGNED.tar.md 5
5.CSC_OZS_I9500OZSBMF6_927537_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
I have tried to flash 3.CODE_I9500ZSUBMF6_927537_REV00_user_low_ship.tar .md5 and failed & soft brick.
Fortunately I am able to go back to 3. I9500ZCUCMG1_I9500CHNCMG1_I9500ZCUCMF3_HOME.tar.md5.
I am just wondering what can happened if I fail to flash it with all 5 above files. Can I come back to 3. I9500ZCUCMG1_I9500CHNCMG1_I9500ZCUCMF3_HOME.tar.md5 ? Or I would need to flash 5 original files (which I don't have..)
Thank you

It is the MODEM file. As I said, leave the baseband alone... Those files you downloaded are for i9500 HK version, but you are holding China Mainland version. They might have minor difference.
Download latest twrp.tar file and flash using Odin in the PDA tab.
Press Volume UP + Home immediately after reboot, you should see TWRP UI if succeed.

Hi Cellegg,
I have found below instruction to install TWRP:
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s4-using-twrp-method/
at the end of it, it is mentioned to root it with SuperSU zip
What do you think about it?
I am not sure if can do it with my Kernel. How to check if I don't have: SetUID restriction on the kernel ?

Following that instruction would work. Yes, you need flash SuperSU to root your phone.
But if you want to flash other non-stock rom, just ignore that step, most of non-stock rom already includes SuperSU.
I haven't heard of any China Mainland version cellphone encountered SetUID restriction issue.

Dear Cellegg,
I have managed to install TWRP and installed SuperSU v1.51 (0.91 was unable to update the binaries..)
Everything seems to be running fine (I did full backup to SD). However I am not sure how to proceed now...
I would like to have google apps and English IME. Shall I flash some custom ROM? What do you advise?
Thank you,

Custom Rom would be better.
Try OMEGA rom:

Presume you know how to use TWRP, backup all your stuff and full wipe (cache, delvik cache, rom, data)

Dear Cellegg,
I have tried to flash OMEGA as advised, but unsuccesful. I have read on the OMEGA thread, that:
Wipe cache partition automatic before roms installation
Wipe Dalvik Cache automatic during installation
Wipe preload partition automatic before roms installation
Wipe System automatic before roms installation
is included, so I didn't proceed with wipe (I have seen it being wiped while flashing)
I have also flashed XXUBMG9 at the beginning as advised on OMEGA thread.
After reboot, I have got standard white 'Samsung logo GT-i9500' and after that nothing happened --> black screen...
I was able to restore via TWRP to start point.
Any ideas?
thank you

Wipe procedure during OMEGA installation somehow would not fully remove stock files...you have to use TWRP's wipe to do that.
1) Advanced Wipe in TWRP (data, system, cache, delivk cache.)
2) flash OMEGA rom
One more thing, if you encounter WIFI or Bluetooth issue, try to flash different kernel, Adam kernel.

Hi Cellegg,
Thank you for hints.
I have followed OMEGA's instruction about modem:
'Flash the new modem XXUBMG9 before flashing Omega v12, get it from here or from Omega Files free and Pro. If you did not flash the new modem first then you may loose your modem. If this happens flash XXUBMG9 modem to restore it'
What do you think about it?
I will try with Advance WIpe in TWRP as next.
[edit] Unfortunately same result after flashing modem XXUBMG9 and Omega v12 rom - black screen... no idea why?!
Any ideas?
[edit2] I have checked information about baseband/modem in 'About device' and it is showing: I9500XXUBMG9
Thanks

It seems you had successfully flashed the MODEM/baseband, if I9500XXUBMG9 showed in 'About Device'
I would say try again...or try other Recovery and Roms...
Anyway, if all above failed..here it is the Google apps package: http://www.vdisk.cn/down/index/13790672 (hit "智能线路下载" to download)
You must root your phone before flashing it.

Hi Cellegg,
Thank you for your advices.
Finally I have managed to make it works with Arrow 6.0 Custom ROM.
Everything seems to be running fine and it is a huge release after so many days...
Once again thanks for your comments and ideas.
To all members: if you have similar phone (GT-i9500CHN) or other and I would be able to help somehow, please ask the question - I am happy to support as much as I can.
Help,
Before I was with 4.4 XEO Region (Knox 0x1), I wanted to go to PRO Region
I was nearly at the end of Odin 3.07:
hidden.img.ext4
transmission complete
now writing ....
Receive response from boot-loader
FAIL!(Size)
I want to keep Samsung stock, and take the minus of risk because I have Knox 01
(I can go to download mode without problem)
Thanks in advance for your help
Different regions/carriers are having flash issues, you need to go XEO (Poland) - not sure why region/carriers having issues but they are.

Only in the short term until the next incremental update - Max a couple of months, depends how fast Samsung push out fixes. But XEO should be fine plus it has no carrier bloat + it has European CSC's etc so works all over Europe

Take out your battery, then put back in and reboot into recovery, wipe cache etc and you should be OK
EDIT: If it doesn't work, reflash it.

There is no need to do so when you install XEO. As it has the Bootloader in the single file.

Here you go:
"single-file" flash-file; data should stay intact when flashing this...
G935FXXU1APC8 (Germany - DBT)
UN-RAR, place TAR-file in AP in Odin 3.10.7
Could you make screenshots of "version info" (*#1234#) and software-info when flashed?

Do you mean that my single-file wiped your data?
I think, that's because you flashed the 1st time with HOME_CSC, and then the freeze of Odin -> THAT wiped your data!
If you flash again now, with my single file, I'm sure it WON'T WIPE your data!

Hi Hektor,
No, the freeze regarding home_csc was solved. I recovered my data from TWRP backup.
Today I flashed your single file with ODIN and it removed my files. I had to run through setup again, so I again recovered through TWRP backup.
Dont really know what is wrong.
Here is my original setup:
Odin: Installed firmware SM-G935F DBT G935FXXU1APAW
Odin: Installed TWRP 3.0.0.0
TWRP: Installed 3.0.0.1
TWRP: Installed BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503
And as I mentioned, today I tried to upgrade with your file (G935FXXU1APC8 DBT) through ODIN which caused a wipe

I thought you can keep your data somehow. Before I bought the Galaxy S7 Edge I used a S5 with Omega Rom.
Any Omega Rom update kept my data, so I thought this can be done with the original firmware for S7 as well as long I root the phone.
Here is a way that works. Did that yesterday and no issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/install-ota-rooted-s7-flashfire-t3357065
Dear xda users,
I have a big problem with my Samsung S7 Edge G935F!
Yesterday my phone restarts continuously so I used Odin to flash Firmware Stock. First, I used this Firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3335065 .
Odin doesn't show any errors and my phone restarts; but after Samsung S7 Edge Boot Splash Screen, the phone shows a screen with yellow triangle and Android dead and then, phone restarts in Stock Recovery Mode.
In the Recovery mode when I press Reboot System Now or PowerOff, appears "Verifying DMVerity Hash Tree..." and then "Failed" and my phone restarts again in Recovery.
I tried Wipe data and cache but Nothing!
Then I tried to repair firmware with Kies 3: No errors but my phone won't boot!!
And then I tried another firmware file with Odin but nothing!
The phone is Completely Stock! Recovery Mode and Download Mode work and the phone is recognised by PC.
Please help me!
Thanks in advance

Have you tried doing a "Factory Data Reset" in stock recovery yet?
If not, do that before doing anything else.
The Factory Data Reset in stock recovery will WIPE your internal
sdcard but it will not wipe your external SD if you have one.
Also it would be very helpful to know the exact filename(s) of the
stock firmware(s) which you have tried to odin flash and what the
model of your phone is. (G938F) or other variant?)
Good luck and have a great day!

Thanks for your reply!
Yes I tried Wiped data/Factory Reset and Wipe cache partition in Stock Recovery..
Device: Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Model: SM-G935F
Firmwares tha I tried to flash with Odin:
Netherlands (Android 6.0.1) G935FXXU1APF2_G935FPHN1APE2_G935FXXU1APEQ_PHN
Italy (Android 6.0.1) G935FXXU1APF2_G935FITV1APE2_ITV
If flashing succeeds, and you still have the same problem:
go back with your device where you bought it
You can't solve it yourself, and probably something is wrong/defect with the main-board
When you 1st discovered the continuous reboot:
1. why did you not go to the store where you bought your phone?
2. why trying to flash "other firmware" on your phone instead of your "original firmware"?
What's your original CSC? Flash your phone with your original phone's CSC and bring your phone back for repair and/or replacement!

What's your original CSC? Flash your phone with your original phone's CSC and bring your phone back for repair and/or replacement!

In attacchments there are images of Recovery Mode.
I don't know CSC because phone won't boot to see the code.. Kies says that CSC code is PE2
I can not do anything.. right?

I tried with Kies3 but the problem remains.. I think with Smartswitch is the same thing because the file and the installation procedure is identical.. I don't know

But smartswitch is newer and supports most samsung devices 5.0 and up.Kies is not meant for anything higher than kitkat.

So I'll try with SmartSwitch..
So my beloved note 4 is very poorly and I'm unsure of how to fix her
Phone turns on and boots, sometimes takes longer than others, and I can get to Download mode and recovery.... So maybe there's hope?
It's back on stock kit kat..... Here are it's issues.
Random freezes and reboots,
Sometimes the imei is unknown, pulling sim and rebooting and dialling *#06# brings it back temporarily.
This all happened very suddenly after a MM OTA update but maybe just a coincidence.
What I've tried so far, flashed stock KK with odin and wiped in recovery, none helped.
I've downloaded the n910f 4 file repair firmware that was kindly posted in another thread, but I've read conflicting advice about ticking the repartition option in odin.... Some said do it and someone else said this would wipe my imei... Which would be obviously bad.
Has anyone had similar issues to me and found a solution? I'd be eternally grateful for any help, I love this phone and want to save it. Please help.
Kind regards steve.

Thanks for the reply, I've tried that already but the flash failed in odin, KK will flash. I thought this strange but after I reset the phone when the issues first started it went from MM back to its original firmware KK. Now only KK will flash successfully.
I'm open to all solutions.

grab 4 files lollipop repair firmware with pit file from www.tsar3000.com.
Flash in odin.
Once complete do factory reset.
Now go ahead and flash MM firmware with pit file that you get from repair firmware.
Again factory reset.
Done.

In odin options dont tick on "erase imei"
Just tick on re partition , nand erase all & auto reboot.
Make sure do factory reset & wipe cache from stock recovery after flash.

Firstly I'd like to thank you for your time and help.
Thought I'd share what happened. I flashed the 4 files and pit file and it failed right at the end, tried 2 different odin versions with same results. This left me without recovery and the triangle of death saying please connect to kies.
I could still get into download mode so I flashed just the ap file from the recovery firmware, It passed but the boot took 20 minutes and at that point I pulled the battery and got Into recovery and after 2 minutes or so the blue line went by itself and it rebooted to lollipop 5.0.1
I can make phone calls and install apps, it's just a little laggy but may improve after it settles down.
Do you think I should quit while ahead? Flash MM In odin or let the phone OTA update?
Thanks again and any further thoughts appreciated.
Cheers

Did you wip cache & factory reset after flash ?
Yes you can flash mm with pit file but must do factory reset after every flash to get clean operating system and avoid bootloops.
I suggest flash in odin mm instead of ota to avoid any issues.
Once your phone boot do not touch just let it rest for atleast 10 minutes to settle down.

just a quick update...when I flashed the repair lollipop firmware and it failed right at the end and I flashed stock lollipop and it booted .....the phone runs smoothly now and no crashes but I've got a another issue....the baseband is unknown and imei is null. d'oh
I've flashed MM and all is working great except I've still got the unknown baseband imei null.....
do you think it's missing it's modem....cp file or corrupted ems folder?
is there a fix apart from service center?
any help you could offer would be great.. cheers.
