[Q] SM-G900F Product Code: Not Active

Hello Guys,
I recently bought a refurbished Galaxy s5, and ever since it has been failing to update OTA and thru kies,
So i flashed it to Poland's Lollipop update thru Odin,
after doing that, i downloaded the phoneinfo samsung and noticed that the product code is "not active", which is the main reason to not being able to update it OTA and thru kies.
so i was wondering if anyone has any solutions for this problem ?
Kindly check attachments for further info about CSC & Firmware.
Thank you for any help!

OTA update and Kies ??

i tried to update but fail because of root so i tried Samsung Kies 3 but it says that i have the latest update which is Kitkat

Root breaks the link to OTA and Kies updates. I recommend you this steps for avoid problems:
1. Install this APP and look for your CSC code (Pic 1).
2. Look for that 3 letters in "Select Country" -> HERE. It will tell you of what country is your device.
3. Download, unzip and flash via ODIN the latest firmware for your device (Pic 2).

No upgrades?

I have an unrooted SM-N910G purchased directly from Samsung in Singapore
The last update I received was 5.0.1
N910GDTU1BOC7
3.10.40-5042088
Build LRX22C_N910GDTU1BOF1
I heard that newer versions would be rolled-out, but whenever i have the system check,
it tells me this is the last upgrade.
can someone tell me whether I am doing something wrong?

The roll out for Marshmallow has just recently begun. Some countries have received the update for Marshmallow eariler than some. The speed of the firmware update release depends on where you purchased your device. I am still waiting for the OTA Marshmallow firmware update for my UAE N910C. Just be patient, I'm sure you will get it soon.

No matter what Singapore CSC is selected, all of them got the latest 5.1.1 update in december, 2015:
XSP, MM1

Galaxy s7 edge stock firmware from sammobile - a few questions.

Hi,
I bought my S7 edge form Portugal, the phone is factory unlocked.
Now I'm back in my country and I thought I should download from sammobile the official firmware of my carrier provider or the global version.
I'm not sure if I'll still receive OTA updates if I flash the firmware with ODIN, and if that's the case, please tell me if there's any other methods to flash the baseband without causing updates issues in the future.
I want to update the fw because Volte doesn't work.
Another question, I don't have a PC, so I was wandering if I can install Odin on Mac or in VmWare?

My S4 wont update pls help

I had s4(4.4.2) rooted now I have completely removed the root by flashing stock firmware which I got from this post. I downloaded the turkey 4.4.2 listed under GT-I9500 firmwares although I am in india. Now when I try to update trough settings > software update, I I get msg "The latest updates have already been installed.". So is it happening because I flashed turkey's firmware, pls help me how to get lollipop update.

Flash India (INU) or India (INS) firmware. Either should work, but using the INS CSC is probably best, as that apparently is for unlocked devices. The reason you're not getting an update is the phone is not in the same region as the firmware installed on it.

Stock firmware for the gt-i9500 is here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9500/INS/

@audit13: Already covered that.

My bad, I didn't click on the links
