Flash G928F Firmware on G928T in the US? - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wanted to task how I would go about getting the right radios for the US while having fresh stock software from the G928F.
Has anyone tried it like this? I haven't heard of people changing the radios back after a full firmware flash yet, and because I haven't done a whole lot of modding on Samsung devices, I just wanted to put it out there.
Thanks!

it may work, but only if you will flash your stock or custom kernel on top

Hi. I want to try it on my G928T. How?
Do I install trwp, G928F firmware and then the stock or custom kernel or how?

Anyone tried this ? My situation is the other way around. I want to flash US firmware on my 928F model to get Samsung Pay support when I move to US. ...

[Q] How do I get stock Kernel question

Hey all found this link http://mirrorfy.com/group/iphone-sa...re/forum/topics/galaxy-note-3-stock-firmware#
which lists all the stock firmwares for note 3s. I'm just confused on which one would I would download for my model. I'm with Telus up here in Canada, so I know it is a SM-N900W8, but they have so many listed with abbreviations for different regions. Just wondering which one I should be grabbing.
Also does firmware mean stock kernel. So I can flash this firmware on top of a ROM and get stock kernel back? Is that correct?
Thanks all

Have you flashed any custom roms? If not, you have stock kernel...
Stock rom - Original/samsung provided rom
Custom rom - anything that has been modified...
You need to do some SERIOUS reading BEFORE you decide to start flashing or you are going to end up with a very expensive paperweight...

Thanks for replying ultramag
Sorry should have been more clear, yes I have flashed a custom - I'm just getting the SE Android Enforcing message on boot up and read that I can get rid of it if I flash a stock kernel.
Although I can't find any information that says if that message is ok to live with?

What was your original firmware, original region?
That message is perfectly fine on custom kernels. It's just because it's not signed by Samsung is all.

[Q] As a first timer on samsung what do i need to do ?

Hey guys i just bought this international exynos note 3 (N900) and i have some questions about it ;
1. I want to install all the roms kernels and mods i could find but in order to do that (I'm %100 stock btw) ,do i need to first unlock the device ( i dont know how i couldnt find it), then root it with CF- Auto root( my warranty is over so i dont need to think about KNOX i think??) Then use the dd method to flash a recovery and flash whatever i want. Am i right about the things i said on all above ? Is there an easier way to do it ?
2. Do KNOX ever prevents me from flashing things in ODIN if something gets triggered ?
3. If i am not right about the first question starting from %100 stock what do i need to do to get this baby rockin ? I'm thinking about flashing a stock lollipop rom with a custom kernel and root ofc. Any suggestions ?
4. Do we need to flash modems from odin ? Because when reading the AryaMods thread i saw something about updating the modem. I'm on 4.4.2 right now. Can we flash modems or even kernels from recovery ?
Thanks already!!

There is no much of roms to choose for this one. 9005 is most supported here.
Root using cf auto root.
Make back up of ta partion/imei.
Flash recovery with odin. Then flash roms in twrp (watch the ere about how to use twrp or YT).
flash stock roms using odin.
Can't i just flash recovery from odin then flash a custom rom after that without rooting ? Thanks!

If you are going to flash roms based on lollipop, update your phone to latest stock rom for your model using odin so you get latest bootloader.
Dude, you need root access to access system and write to it. Don't custom roms require root, if you take a look? (don't answer to this [emoji61] )
If you want that way, flash twrp with ? odin. Then flash supersu for your model using twrp. That way too you get root. Then flash roms after (read rom instructions).
Ask if all wondering. ?

No my question was; not rooting the device in the first place before flashing the recovery and the rom. The roms already comes with the root in it. So just to be clear first upgrade the base to lollipop from odin then flash a recovery and lastly flash a lollipop rom. Would this be your sequence when you just bought a new note 3 ?

Flash latest firmware then custom recovery then flash the custom rom of your choice. No need to root after flash official firmware but it's good to root first as you may want to backup efs before you start messing the phone. I backed up the efs for the past 1.5years but so far never need it.

Thanks you very much mate!
Edit: I couldn't find the 5.0 version for my device the latest one is 4.4.2 for SM-N900Q. But there are 5.0 versions for SM-N900 for india and such. Can i flash one of them ? Does it interfere with anything so like just for a base ?

Closest to original unmodded android unrooted?

Hi guys,
A friend of mind got a So from china. Turns out it is rooted which he doesn't need and actually prevents him from using android pay.
So I am looking for an English version that is unlocked but not rooted android and as close as possible to original android as possible. No bells or whistle's.
Which version Is that? I have a hard time finding one.
Thanks so much for your help!!

Oh ... 9500 is his version.

Samsung stock rom. There are no pure android roms for the I9500.
The closets and probably only rom is official stock. Download odin v3.09 or newer then go to sammobile.com and look for you phone mobile in firmware menu they have the latest stock rom images, once you flash with odin it'll return you completely back to stock, recovery and rom. If you don't know how to flash with odin the Google it my friend:good:

That sounds like a good plan. I did some flashing in the past, with my Note 2.
This is a friends phone (i9500).
However, on sammobile I cannot find anything that is for the US. Only a bunch of other countries. Which one would be the best to use for the US?
Thanks so much!!

That I cannot answer unfortunately, it seems to me there are no us version of the image. But I would recommend a rom called MBP v4, its very close to stock, but without those extra Samsung apps and unnecessary bloatware. Plus no knox If you see root apps such as SuperSU you can easily unroot in the settings of the app
I will check that out, thank you for your help!

There is no USA stock rom for this phone as the phone was never released by Samsung or any carriers for sale in North America.

Can I use another stock ROM?

I am having some issues with my device and I am trying to work it out. I would like to know if I can install another S5 Stock ROM on my SMG900T. If so which one would be best and would I do it via Odin?
Please be kind, I understand this question may sound stupid. I have been trying on different XDA threads to figure out what the issue is but I was told what is happening can not happen. So I am trouble shooting the Stock ROM.
I don't think so.... you may get bricked your s5.....
Sent from my SM-G900H using Tapatalk
Ok thanks. I do have to say the S5 is the worst phone I ever had it replaces the Nokia C3 by far. Never should have 'upgraded'.
You can use the FOL1 firmware this is Android 5.1.1 or the GPI1 marshmallow. Both of them worked fine on my G900T. You can look for them on sammobile and flash it via Odin.

You can flash any of these stock ROMs https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900T/ just choose your android version!
Good luck
Franck
you can actually flash pretty much any ROM you want as long as you dont Odin a tar.md5 for a different phone. I have a G900P and am using a G900H ROM on it. Just need to stick with a snapdragon based ROM if yours is a snapdragon phone

[SOLVED] Please help - Stuck on Samsung Logo after root.

Hi all,
Im using an S7 Edge on Nougat.
I used odin and cf room (https://download.chainfire.eu/930/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f.zip) to root my device.
After the process finished, my phone rebooted but stays on the animated samsung logo.
I've done a search, and im a little lost - please help - any help is useful.
Thank you
I never used Auto Root but if you look at the chainfire page, and see the S7 Edge it is just for 6.01 and not nougat. I think that's the problem
samsung SM-G935F

6.0.1

I think that you need to flash the stock firmware for your country with ODIN. Maybe someone else can verify this?
Trying this and im getting Secure check failed (bootloader).
I'm scared and need help.. Anything?
Hi,
You have to flash a Nougat stock firmware if you wish to flash using Odin. Samsung bootloader (Knox) doesn't allow an official firmware downgrade, and IIRC that message you are getting happens when you're trying to flash an older version of Android.
Get a newer stock firmware and try again, or if you prefer you can just flash a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM (which may be faster and already comes rooted). Also next time search for a rooting method for your Android version, rooting uses of the system partition, that means if you try using an old method, there's a risk of something not working fine.
All the best,
~Lord

Hi Lord,
Just did what you mentioned, you were spot on - the older bootloader caused issues with the data partition so i lost all apps/data and had to start from a scratch nougat install.
All is working now - appreciate your help, both of you - i will research more in future.
