I used to have a Note-3 N900 model (TGY - HK) variant and recently the motherboard was water damaged and i bought a replacement board from the local market and got it installed by the seller as i didn't have time. The new installed board read NULL/UNKNOWN for both the baseband and the IMEI so i decided to install the original firmware again to see if it fixes the problem.
I flashed the stock firmware for the (TGY-HK) variant from Sammobile but unfortunately the process failed at the end. I tried again and again it failed.
Now i am stuck, i don't know what is the variant of the new motherboard installed.
So my question is that, are there any roms that would work on all N900 variants? Also if i disassemble the phone would i be able to detect the motherboard variant from a code or something printed on it?
Thanks in advance.
can you not ask the seller?
I did ask him already, but unfortunately they import the motherboards as lots from several countries so he doesn't know actually what variant is it.
If the HK won't work, try DL a BTU one from Sammobile. That should cover most of the Euro variants. Other than that, find a version for which you can also get a PIT file and flash the PIT so the partition matches the version you have to install. e.g. if you want HK firmware, find an HK PIT.

Thanks a lot for your helpful reply. Do you know where can i find the TGY-HK PIT file? I searched the forums but wasn't successful.

You'd need to check for a PIT for your device - apparently there are 16GB versions or 32GB ones. But you could try HERE for DL's and instructions.
Also you could try asking for someone with same phone to use one of the PIT apps to upload one for you.

What do you mean ??
You are replying to a three year old post .
I had some problem with a note 3 devise. I don't even know what is the vertion even. I tried with all the rims and bootloader using all the vertion of Odin. Finally the phone started with Odin 207 and honking 16 gb bootloader and honking 16 bg rom. But the only problem is that the storage redused to 16 gb ( I so 32 gb rom initially in settings ) and note 3 works fine now.
There was some problem with security and WiFi and some error also papers that frequently reset the phone. Any way now it is working well and updated to 5.0.0 over the air without any issues.
I don't know how I bricked the phone as I was fidilling with the settings truth Odin. And in between I have even git a message that the phone has lost firmware and do need to fix it with keys and keys was unable to identify the model.
Very difficult to understand your post .
Rim Honking Papers Git message .< makes it impossible to read and understand .

What precise model is your Note 3? Are you 100% it is not a fake? Does the phone have "download mode"? Can you still enter "download mode"? What does it say there? Have you tried to write the latest stock ROM for your precise model? (and by model I understand platform and type, for instance on N9005 there are slightly different stock images for the 32GB EU models and the 16GB Asia models).

What i've heard if you lost your efs, many things on the phone will note work and eventually you will encounter FC messages. The only way was to restore the EFS. But you can find any other alternative like Flashing the 4 part firmware and see how it goes. If it doesnt fix your phone, keep finding.

I've tried the 4 part firmware flash but nothing... Now I'm downloading a firmware for Poland,this is the newest on samfirmware.com
Hi
Background: I am usually very thorough when buying a new phone. This time I Wasn't well for many days and in the hospital. Urgently needed a new phone and ordered 1 online from a used shop. I specially wanted i9500.. no other variant..
I got one, it said i9500 on the back cover (echted in the plastics and well as the paper... which said made in india.. also the paper/sticker wasn't samsung quality but maybe since it was used, and indian made, i thought ok..
Now I inserted my sim and turned it on... Some chinese s***t! then samsung logo then the TouchWiz.. But there were many chinese apps as well. AND IT DID NOT DETECT MY SIM. Settings say its an i9500.. it felt like a samsung but something was off... In camera, as soon as I took a pic, phone got shut off! Had to take out battery... (btw, it says android 4.42 and when I go to Update.. .Samsung says it cant as device has been modified)
reformatted phone... more chinese sh*t, then Android loads up and there is no play store!
So I downoad a Darky ROM for i9500 and try flashing.. viola!! success.. Android 5.0.1
It said Sim not registered... then that message dissappears and now it shows me FULL SIGNALS but when I try to dial anything, it says Not registered on network! - WHen I went to settings... in device it is now saying:SM-903F (is that a ROM thing or is that the real phone model I have..?)
Can someone please help me.. the phone is very important here in my hosp.. cant type/read a lot of my laptop, it is very energy comsuming
Regards
P.S My location is Pakistan
See if you can enter download mode (Volume down and Power). If you can get into download mode, read off the model number displayed on screen. If you can't, the S4 is counterfeit.
The phone could also be a combination of various parts from different hardware versions of the s4.
Also, check to see if the imei is okay.

Yes bro, I can see the IMEI..
I tried flashing another ROM (TouchWiz) - Still sim is not recognized (but signal bars goes to full.. even if I take out the SIM.. guess thats a ROM issue)
Anyways, still stuck.. Which modem should I try flashing... :|
I was going to suggest a stock 9500 rom from sammobile.com but there are only ROMs for the 9500, not 9500chn.
Googling the model 9500chn links to other people that have the same problem when trying to flash another rom.

The phone model become GT-I9500CHN because of Chinese bootloader that unfortunately very hard to get rid of this stuff.
______
Your phone might be trying to connect to China Mobile or China Unicom that uses TD-SCDMA instead of WCDMA for most regions.
Also, after you install DarkLord S6 port on your device, you'll get phone model on About device as SM-G903F (Galaxy S5 Neo) instead of the normal one for more compatibility (according to the developer).
I would try to check the IMEI online to see if this is original or not (ilegally tampered from other device).

Cheap chinese fake replicas. All ib one line.

I hate chinese like u do... but this is not cheap
and it is actually a REAL Samsung Galaxy
problem is its GT-i9500CHN - aargghhhhhh - pain doubling... due to me being in hospital. cant go outside to kill someone
If you flashed custom ROMs and them boot, it's not a clone. I9500 performs an Exynos CPU, Chinese clones a Mediatek one, so just for this ROMs couldn't even boot.
All you can do is try to flash a stock firmware from SamMobile, an I9500 firmware coming from China, and see what happens.
By the way, I think this guy bought a Chinese (Genuine) I9500, then rooted it for install Google Apps, that would probably be the reason of the GApps disappearing after formatting (as far as I know, Chinese phones have a backup partition where an emergency copy of the stock firmware is located, I don't know if Samsung does this as well).
For the SIM problem, it's probably simlock, and it probably works only with a determined Chinese operator (or, again, it probably doesn't supports Pakistan's signal bands).
All you can do is check your IMEI on some dedicated site and see if it's simlock, then if it's not, check if the bands that your phone supports are compatible with Pakistan ones.
Sorry for my bad english.

Again, China's bands are TD-SCDMA, not WCDMA as we use mostly over the world.

Once again, GT-I9500CHN is just from the bootloader. Installing any GT-I9500 firmware should work.

I got my S7 Edge (SM-G935FD) Dual sim from ebay HK, and it has G935FXXU1BPLE ROM.
Where can i download this?
I need to return this to the seller, and want to flash it back to its original rom.
Tried sammobile but, couldn't find it
Thanks
Have you tried searching thru Updato... Try downloading the app from playstore or use your computer search thru updato.com.. Hope this help...

mmm... mine is dual sim exynos version
and i've checked on updato.com, none
Here's the screenshot
Europe/India/Malaysia model. If you never rooted or anything just factory reset it your fine. If you rooted and triggered KNOX they might not accept it back. That depends on the place of purchase.
I thought G935FD was dual sim. G935F was single sim. Did I miss something or do I have my models for Exynos bassackwards?
I suggest you use google to help you find the rom... I tried searching the rom you looking for just now using my phone thru google and managed to find some thread written in chinese and rom download wit pit files... Maybe it is the one you searching...

Not sure the model.
Never rooted, and I did factory reset.
KNOX is not triggered.
I need the rom, because I flash the phone with Indonesia (STOCK from sammobile) ROM, and I need to return the phone back for warranty repair (having problem with restarting and freezing).
If I were to send the phone back with Indonesia ROM, will they still accept the warranty?
And yes, it's a Dual Sim model (FD)
I found this: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B9jhlAaVBesoOHRuOWhuN1IxTk0&export=download
Looks like it is Taiwan version.
I'm downloading now, how do you tell if the firmware is STOCK or custom/modified?
The file size is 2GB, but normal STOCK firmwares (based on sammobile) are around 1.4 - 1.6GB
I don't want to flash only to triggered my KNOX and I can't get it back for warranty....

Hy all! This is my first thread.
And so sorry for my english.
So I bought a galaxy s7 edge (g935f) from the internet and it has a lot of weird issue...first this phone is a single sim t-mobile (hungary) version, but the software says this is a dual SIM version (935FD) I flashed a full-wipe 4 file from with Odin but after that the problem is still there. If I go to the ONE I menu the first imei is the phone's own imei, but the second imei is just a lot of zeros.
My second problem is that the wireless connections doesn't works.
The Bluetooth can't find any BT devices and the Wi-Fi is recognize only the 5ghz networks.(2.4ghz networks are invisible)
Is it possible to get this phone back to normal?
Is it should work if I try to reinstall the phone with smart switch? That app is download firmware that is match with the phone original carriers Rom.
Thanks in advance.
If the phone is the dual sim one (SM-G935FD) flashing the BTU ROM from SM-G935F (single SIM model) or the INU ROM from the SM-G935FD, it'll detect the second SIM slot that also works as microSD card.
By detecting it, it seems you have an G935FD...
try flashing one of those ROM's I have mentioned above with ODIN and do full wipe of the phone.
That will probably solve everything

Btu is samsung stock 7 firmware basically for Uk region it's available here on xda. Try to flash the full firmware and see if it's work for you or not. Also you can flash stock 935fd firmware.
Hi lads
My partner recently got a refurbed 128 gig S7Edge, perfect quality no issues.
I never had a look at it, I've only ever used and worked on HTC phones, so I don't want to **** this up by randomly doing stuff. I know he's unlocked dev options for things like keeping screen on etc, but other than that I don't even know which version of the OS it's running, if it was even genuine stock or if the refurb guy had possibly flashed another version. Who knows.
Last night was the first time it ever completely discharged, and as he tried to turn it on this morning, it popped up with the custom binary FRP error message.
It will only boot to download mode which is in Korean (nightmare getting google translate camera to work on a phone screen), usb not recognised on my laptop.. I'm not really sure what I should do next. Most threads I can find are about people flashing custom roms and getting errors but we've done no such thing, the battery simply discharged.
If you could guide me to the next step , what's safe and what isn't, that'd be very helpful, thanks! Different when you're working on someone else's phone.
Edit: Download Mode shows Current Binary as custom and system status as official. Is this correct though, or is it just a standard assumption with this FRP thing?
Have tried using SamFirm but neither the model SM-G935S, nor region (Korea) seems to exist. Found something on Updato but it's a 10 hour browser download I'm pretty sure is gonna fail as always happens.
Right I've tried flashing every version of firmware from Updato which took.. well since the post to download. I'm just getting errors, I'm getting absolutely nowhere and I have no idea what to do next. The seller is happy to replace the phone .. with a 32 gig version instead of 128 gig. That's.. that's not great. There's gotta be something I'm overlooking here? Also, SamFirm doesn't have my version and just gives me errors when putting it in manually.. Should I not be going for the original firmware which is Korean? Can I go for a UK version and it won't matter?
