Hello! I have a problem with my S5, I can not determine which version is, in configurations says G900F, on the label of the part where the battery goes, says G900H, and the Download mode said to be the G900T. I tried to install the 4.4.2 for G900F and Odin says "Fail! (Auth)", I tried Lollipop for G900F and got the same results, any suggestions?
Add: Which firmware should I flash on it if I want to restore the phone to it's factory state?
I posted in Sammobile Forums, there are more information about my problem there if you want to see: www dot sammobile dot com/forum/showthread.php?t=26137&p=114158

Hello again, I tried to flash the newest G900F and it faild.
then i tried to flash the newest g900P an it works.
But now the main question.
I bought that phone in germany as g900f and of course i believe its a g900p
ist it possible to switch between F / P ?
cause if its not possible i could complain the vendor
i think the vendor will say "you root the phone - you did that"
thank you for the answers
No, you were sold a G900P under the false pretence it was the G900F
You are not alone, many places are doing the same thing to get rid of unwanted models by labelling them as G900F, even changing parts of the firmware, stickers, box etc to say G900F
Download mode never lies, it can not be changed
Next time you buy an S5, check download mode first

Help please
Hi guys and gals.
I'm in a slight trouble with my Galaxy S5. I'm trying to restore it to official firmware, after the previous owner made a poor rooting on it, and, it's acting weird. I downloaded the official firmware (G900FXXU1BOC7), but, Odin keeps on giving me Fail. I enabled USB debugging, and tried different cables, different USB ports. And it's didn't work. Now, I read that I need the same firmware or more recent than the one currently installed on my phone, so I downloaded Phone INFO, and it gives me weird info. It suddenly says that the Phone Model is:
SM-G900P
PDA Version: G900PVPU3BOG1
CSC Version: G900PSPT1BOA6
Baseband Version: G900PVPU3BOG1
(Which a quick search led me to believe that this is a CyanogenMod rom)
But in the Phone Settings > About, It says:
Model Number: SM-G900F
BASEBAND VERSION: G900FXXU1BOC7.
I am sure that this is the G900F model. So, now, how do I restore it to an original firmware?
Go to download mode and see what model it is.

It says G900P.
Then you have the P variant (no matter what the settings say).....this is turning into a fairly common issue on the S5 forums....

Then, I just have to install stock G900P firmware, right?

For future searches. I just flashed it with the official G900P firmware. The latest there was.
Soory if it sounds dumbish, im from romania, carrier - orange. I flashed some stock firmware MBC-Germany or so, if it counts, that's the one i used to flash all the time since romania was not withing those firmwares. I know the device is old, i'm planning to buy a Letv 1s or redmi note 3 but i have to do something with this overheating thing, i can't sell it like that. I heard it wouldn't overheat on 4.4.2, if you have advice regarding this problem, please
Flashed several modems, got signal now but can't use mobila data -> "No signal found for mobile network". I tried modems starting with these letters: "XX,DK,DD". I'm now using DD one since i got best signal but no network signal at all, any solution for me ? IF IT COUNTS, i've been using cm13 android 6.0 before flashing stock 4.4.2 and i have an efs backup done @ TWRP recovery, tried restoring it, didn't solve anything.
EDIT : Still cannot be called -> "Not registered on network" - i'll try further modems hoping it will eventually solve my problem.
UPDATE: Tried them all @ Modem thread. I'm expecting help, can't solve this on my own, i'm a noob.
You sure you have an I9500? If so, it was imported. Enter download mode please and read off the information on the screen.

There is no firmware for Romania as the I9500 isn't available in Romania. Thus any I9500 firmware from sammobile.com should work. Flash the full firmware via Odin and not just the modem.

I mentioned that all the problems started when i flashed GERMANY STOCK ROM 4.4.2.
I'm going to ask an odd question here, but do you still have the original box? If you do, the full model number of the phone will be on it, e.g. I9505ZKAO2U. If you have that full model number, post it here.
In the meantime, try installing one of these.

Didn't buy it new, i don't have the box of it anyway. How would that help ? It's not a fake s4 for sure if you have any doubt.
The full model number on the box as described would have allowed me to pinpoint the original firmware that was supposed to be on the phone. The last three letters are the CSC of the phone, and thus the firmware that the phone should be using.
Now, the only way to find out that information is by parsing it via the IMEI, which has the country of origin within it. To the best of my knowledge, none of the sites that allow you to enter IMEI numbers will retrieve that information. IMEIData.net used to do it, but require a subscription now.

Imei is unknown, got efs backup from back when i was on 6.0 gearcm. But i can't read it in any way. Tried restoring it, the imei is still unknown.
Take it in for service, especially if the EFS backup doesn't restore the IMEI to the device using the EFS Backup tool.

I really doubt that's so much of a problem. I remember encountering a similar problem 1 year ago when i flashed 4.4.2 rom over 5.0. I can't remember what i've done but i know i had been struggling for 3 or 4 days. I remember, anyway, it was related to some applications from play store, one called busy box or so. Moreover, then i had no EFS BACKUP. That's why im so careful now with it. My guess is that if i flash back to 5.0 that problem will be gone, but the phone is overheating, unusable if you ask me. Hope someone will be able to help me
Found that on youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT42ri37RBU.
Now my question is how do i find my imei within that backup cause the files are .md5/.info/.win/.win.md5.
UPDATE : Flashed that rom, same problem.
Bump. Flashed gearcm 6.0 and a XX modem and its working well now. Any help there, still? I have to flash 4.4 again soon and I need a solution.
Actually, the point is simple:
Anytime you get unknown baseband after downgrading, flash Lollipop modem back, done.

I have problem with OTA updates, my S4 cant find update for Lollipop 5.0.1, i tryed with flashing stock rom in odin, but i received a message; Nand Write FAILED. My current version is 4.4.4. Please help me !!!
Did you try using the original Samsung USB cable? Did you try other USB cables and USB ports? What file is Odin failing to write to the phone?
Trajko03
I think aboot and NAND Write Failed
If I'm not mistaken, only the T-Mobile S4 got Android 4.4.4. Everyone else in the family from what I recall skipped that version and went straight to 5.0.1. Could you please verify your model number by entering download mode?
If the model number is an I9505, install Phone Info from the Play Store, run it, and provide us with your AP, PDA, and CSC.
Stopping at the aboot file leads me to believe that the rom doesn't match the phone or the bootloader in the phone is too new.

Install a custom ROM. Your device is not an international (GT-I9505) model but a T-Mobile device. The SGH-M919 is the only Galaxy S4 model - other than models offered by Straight Talk - to not be upgraded to Android 5.0.1. Odin fails because the ROMs you're attempting to install are not for your device. There are no OTA updates because the update path stopped at the version of Android you currently have.
Stock sgh-m919n ROMs are here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919N/

...i must root my phone and unlock my bootloader or my phone(T-Mobile) will get lollipop???
Your bootloader isn't locked. However, installing a custom recovery, which is needed to install a custom ROM, will trip Knox. After 3-1/2 years however, tripping Knox is no longer an issue as there is no warranty left on the device.
The custom ROM you install will likely be pre-rooted, so Android Pay and Pokémon Go are out; neither of which is a big deal.
Hey everyone
summary :
how can i install a rom file for sm-g900f on sm-g9006v ? with altering the rom file or my phone.
notes:
-they have exactly the same hardware but one is china version
-phone originally had android 5.0 and every where on its back and case says its g900f
the phones ''about device'' said g900f too
full version :
i bought a s5 (g900f) a couple of years back, but it didnt receive the 6.0.1 update like others, so now i decided to update it manually using odin.
but in download mode its version was g9006v
so i found the android 6.0.1 rom for it and installed it using odin
but unfortunately it doesnt have any of the google services and has a couple of system apps that cant be deleted of disabled and they are draining the battery.
so now i want to go back to international 5.0 or 6.0.1
considering that both versions have the same hardware and that somehow it had g900f rom on it before
i was wondering how could i adjust my phone or the rom file (tar) to install it.
thank you for ur help
