OK here is the problem, I went to install carrier branded firmware via ODIN, I got an ext4 error and the phone wouldn't boot. I flashed with CWM and the phone booted instantly, the numbers all say I am am running carrier branded however there is no branding, no carrier apps which I was looking it is stock firmware and more importantly no VoWiFi settings which I was looking.
Any ideas?

I have a Samsung S5 G900F, bought from vodafone on payg. Long story short, it is under warranty, but when I took it to Samsung they said the knox had been tripped. I'm going to pursue this with them, as this phone is used by the mrs and (as far as we know) has never had custom software on it.
Anyway, it started randomly rebooting a while ago, and I tried updating the software with kies, which seemed to fix it for a while. It has now gotten progressively worse, to the point that it is not even getting past either the boot logo, or as part way through the boot process (samsung logo etc). Occasionally, after a cold start, it makes it to the OS, but then reboots shortly after.
I've now tried using odin to install the stock firmware (vodafone branded - G900FXXU1BOJ1_G900FVFG1BOJ1_G900FXXU1BOJ1_HOME.tar.md5). I've also installed philz custom recovery (tried twrp too), and then to install a custom rom. Ive tried cyanogen and phoenix. They install fine, but the phone continues to reboot when starting up. I've not yet managed to get to the OS for either custom rom.
The phoenix rom also came with a bootloader/modem package, which I have installed.
I've run out of ideas. It's probably a hardware fault. But is there anything else I can try before binning it?
Thanks.
KNOX is definitely tripped now even if it was not before (Custom ROMs, and Recovery trip KNOX)
Anyway, you could try flashing the G900F PIT file along with the stock ROM, and see if that helps, the PIT file will 100% delete and recreate the phones partitions, before flashing the ROM, so if it was a firmware bug, that should fix it, if it still does it after that, I'd say hardware
Google G900F PIT file
Add it to the PIT section in ODIN
Add the stock ROM to the PDA or AP section in ODIN
Flash and hope for the best
I tried the PIT file. It flashes successfully. However, the stock rom still fails with "auth SIZE" (cant remember the exact message). Does that mean I've used the wrong PIT? I can still successfully flash custom recovery and then a custom firmware, but the boot loops continue.
Can you double check in download mode, which model S5 is shows?
I expect it to be G900F, but a few people have had something other than what the sticker and box say
And as long as you downloaded the G900F PIT file, then you flashed the correct one
If everything matches G900F, and it's still doing it after flashing PIT, Custom and Stock, and stock is complaining about the wrong size, it looks like something corrupted your phones internal storage
There are manual ways to recreate partitions etc, but you'll have to search them out
I have SM-G935S (SKTelecom Korea) and have been trying to improve battery life by using custom ROM. The installation is a success, but it makes my phone cannot use mobile data connection. I have been trying RENOVATE 4.0, SupermanROM, and KingROM but all have the same result. Are my device not compatible with those ROM or any mistake and fix that you can point it out to me? I'll be thankful for your help.
If the imei still intact, there's hope. Try flashing original rom. If not, service center is your only option.
Try updating Boot loader and Modem before installing the recent custom ROMs. Or use ROMs that have the Auto-Bootloader and Modem update. Check APN settings for Your network.
I have the same issue but for a G935F
Did you solve the problem?
It happened to me also. I have g935f. Only thing that works for me is to install csc after installing the rom. So first install rom then let it boot. after boot before settings go back to recovery and then install your csc and then boot up and do your settings. Good luck.
hi all,
i decided to unroot my device and flashed stock firmware through odin, now when the phone restarts i get this error and the touch is unresponsive i am not able to enter app drawer and the it takes repeated attempts to get into power off menu.
what has happened did i miss some imp step, was i suppose to uncock bootlaader under usb debugging etc etc. i tried flashin fw without BL file still same error.
this was an ebay purchase UK unocked model, which i believed was flashed with indian nougat firmware which i again reflashed to G935FXXU1DPLT, OTA updated to G935FXXU1DQB3 prior to rooting.
not able to boot into recovery also
currently iam flashing G935FXXU1DPLT or am i supposed to flash G935FXXU1DQB3
I recently updated my phone using a custom ROM, resulting in me losing the IMEI number. I installed a combination rom, G950FXXU2ARE1, to restore it. However now I am trying to install the latest firmware for my carrier, EE, G950FXXU1CRD7 and odin fails at sboot.bin. I believe this is probably related to the bootloader version (U2) - can I install another country's firmware e.g. https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=1BAB5C246A0F11E89F15FA163EE8F90B which has the firmware number G950FXXU2CRED and still use my carrier?
I have tried to install TWRP but it fails to install with the error message "recovery image signature check fail"
Thanks
G950fxxu2are1

Yes you can. I'm on EE UK also. But I use the BTU firmware. Which is UK unlocked.
I reverted to the latest stock firmware from my region and carrier with odin and it doesn't even detect my sim card. I tried restoring radio and efs from a previous rom I had, but it still doesn't work. I even had to manually flash the csc files because they didn't exist. It still shows "baseband unknown".
Try flashing Custom rom
