Hello i have a Chinese Star N7189 its on stock Google android 4.2.2 how would i get full Samsung firmware the actual note 2 firmware, is it even possible? Mobile Odin doesn't work on my phone either. Please reply if you have some knowledge on this. Thanks!
Maybe it will work...maybe you will brick your phone.
Your phone is a clone. depending on how accurately the makers copied the phone, you may have success....but it is not likely.
Won't work. Don't even try.

impossible.
N7189 is mtk-6589 based, hence the model name.
Model # SM-G900
Android version 4.4.2
baseband version G900SKSU1ANCD
kernel version 3.4.5 [email protected] #1
build # KOT49H.G900SKSU1AND3
I want to start by saying THANKS to all the xda community.
I never posted a thread because usually I can take care of everything after reading all the good posts that I need.
Do not consider myself a "newbie" but I have a problem that I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help.
I purchased an international version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 that CPU-Z shows the Model to be SM-G900S (klteskt) and for the life of me I can not get it to communicate with ODIN or KIES. PS: I can access the storage.
I tried every samsung driver, every trick for all windows versions every thread for MT64xx loaders and still no comm with kies or ODIN.
Samsung support mentioned they can not help because support is only for US devices. The phone is currently on the ATT network.
Any Help is greatly appreciated- Many Thanks

Did you find the answer?
Odin should work fine if you have a proper USB driver for your phone.
You said that you had tried every driver. That seems unlikely. Did you try searching the Korean site for a driver? Or downloading the latest version of Kies and using it to install a driver. Also look for the 900S support thread on this forum for more targeted information.
As a last resort contact Samsung Korea, in Korean and request the driver. I'd bet though that you could find it on the Korean site yourself if you try.
.
Look here http://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900s, step 1 is for the usb driver.
Hi there , I have the same problem , but I can go in dowload mode ! I try it in every way ! Keep pop up a korean thing !

What do you mean by MT64xx? Is it a MediaTek? If so, you may have a fake device?
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Refurbishment Check' and see what is the result?
i want to put some pics but i don't know how

Where did you get the fw?
Can you supply a link?
Thanks!
Devices ending in X are demos at phone stores. Not meant to work for public. I think

Look if new software update is possible.
Hello XDA Members
I tried to flash a stock rom into this s8 plus retail demo model# G955XU through ODIN 3.12.3 using stock firmware from sammobile. I get a PASS from ODIN but when the phone reboots and tries to install the files it goes upto 32% then restarts then this message comes up:
"Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost"
I tried 3 different firmware from BELL, Rogers & Telus G955W Canadian carriers but no result. Also when I unzip the firmware files from Sammobile I get 5 files BL. Ap. CP. CSC_OYA & Home_CSC_OYA but in odin there are only 4 slots. I tried both home and CSC file into the CSC slot but no results. Your help will be greatly appreciated
Why do you want demo mode? It's literally a resource hog and can only be removed with hard reset. If you want the demo videos that come preloaded, you can download them from the Samsung retail website

Thought the same thing, 1st post, joined today, asking to flash a demo phone. I'm sure theres ways of getting a demo phone legitimately, i just haven't heard of one this early in a phones lifecycle.

kind of wondering the same. hopefully that's not the case, but yeah, kind of comes off that way with the little information given.
Hello
Hello there
I am facing the same problem, flashed with Odin and got and error message: The phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is Locked. Call your mobile operator for additional support.
Any way around this problem?
Do let me know guys
In Europe for the S6 and S7 the demo units do not have the same hardware as the retail products for cost efficiency. There is therefore no way to get them to work with a retail software version.
I have not had any feedback as to the S8 but chances are that it is the same.
Shops here often get them free of charge and some do sell them to make some extra money.

1. Sounds like a stolen phone?
2. Hardware may be, and likely is, different as another user pointed out.
3. Even if you got it to work you couldn't make phone calls or use mobile data as the IMEI will likely be blocked/blacklisted by all the telcos.
Hey there guy I got a S8 SM-G950X LDU . Anybody knows how to flash it with odin?
This just doesnt seem right.
It is likely a stolen phone or something else.
I am closing thread for now.

I've just purchased s7 edge mobile it's not a brand new one and working perfect without any issues. But I'm confused about its version.
*In about phone menu the model number is SM-G935F
*The baseband is G935FXXU1BPIA
*On the back of the phone it' written SM-G935F
*While in download mode it's SM-G935V
*In samsung phone info app the Manufacturer/Brand : Samsung/Verizon and the phone model is SM-G935F and firmwares CSC code is VZW and CSC country is US and bootloader version and baseband are G935VVRU4API3 which is different from what is written under about phone menu.
* Update software option under about phone is absent.
*The hardware/board : qcom/msm8996 [64-bit]
*GPU : Qualcomm Adrenaline 530
*By checking IMEI it's correct and belongs to s7 edge.
Now I cannot update it through the OTA and I don't know what is the correct firmware to flash and can I use engineering kernel to root it.
It's clear the phone is SM-G935V depending on the CPU and download mode ..please help I afraid to flash wrong firmware and brick it.

What a mess... are you sure its not a fake s7e..?
i recommend not flashing anything on it D: who knows what they did to it for it to be falsely showing a g935F when its snapdragon

I'm pretty sure it's not fake every hardware is working perfect the camera is awesome, fingerprint sensor is perfect and cannot be deceived , screen is perfect, heart rate monitor and spo2 sensor is working, I tested it in water and it's water resistant even in antutu benchmark it's recognized as SM-G935F and achieved high score 137197
It's a fake clone for sure.

It does not make sense to me at all... All of these things can be there in the clone too..(hardware can be faked in apps like antutu etc) ill have to take your word for it about the quality of the camera.. my suggestion would be to go to your local phone shop and compare it carefully with a display model..
have you tried connecting it to Smart Switch? it should get the right firmware for you
has knox been tripped?
does it have working knox apps installed like samsung pay etc?
It's not fake, Fake one has bad camera and fingerprint sensor can be bypassed by any not registered finger and has different CPU not snapdragon.
It is connected to Odin and identified as samsung, Fake one cannot be connected to Odin.
Screen quality is identical to the one in local store.
After testing It's water resistant, Fake one is not water resistant.
AIDA64 says it has LPDDR4 ram like original one.
Rear camera sensor is SLSI_S5K2L1SX which is samsung isocell sensor.
Every hardware indicates it's original s7 edge but how did they manage to change the firmware to G935F.
Finally it has a working samsung pay.

Exactly lol
did you try smartswitch? i think you will get your answer from there.
Also the baseband under your about phone section of your phone is Taiwan (BRI) G935FXXU1BPIA for a G935FD i think

Thanks for reply. I'll try smart switch when I go back to home and will inform you.
It just seems ridiculous to me that the back of your phone states its a g935F when its a g935V and being as its still water resistant then i doubt the back glass would of been replaced also
Good luck friend :good:
Hmmmm wow idk how that happened remember the days when we could pull out the battery and know for sure haha bt I would say download the Samsung phone info app in the play store and check the the hardware if it's snapdragon(qualcomm) its a 935v bt if it says it's exynos it's a 935F that way you will know what is safe to use

This is what Samsung phone info app says:
*Hardware/Board : qcom/msm8996 [64-bit]
*GPU: Qualcomm Adreno 530
*Total Ram: 3.34 GB
After all I can say it's an original Samsung phone SM-G935V version depending on model number in both recovery and download modes and hardware profile in Samsung phone info app and AIDA 64 app and presence of Samsung pay and other Samsung own apps like s voice ,Samsung health, Galaxy apps, Samsung Gear, recognized in Odin and Knox app. Also camera quality, Fingerprint hardware and screen quality are excellent.
Knox is not tripped and the phone is not rooted.
BUT someone did his best to change it to G935F by changing the back cover to the one of G935F and he was clever enough to keep water resistance property but I cannot understand how did he manage to change the data under about phone menu to deceive people it's G935F version may be because this is the desired version.
This is CPU-Z validation report
One more thing the firmware is deployed and there are no any verizon apps nor verizon splash screen.
Is it possible to be flashed with G935F firmware then flashed with G935V bootloader and baseband after that because that information in AIDA64 is :
Baseband: G935VVRU4API3
Boatloader: G935VVRU4API3
Build ID: MMB29M.G935FXXU1BPIA

Allegedly there are if you have a look on YouTube theirs a few videos about converting a verizon phone into the g935F with a modded firmware... however they all ask you to pay for there work and i don't believe them lol.
Maybe its a refurbished model that Samsung themselves have fixed and sold on?
Tbh it would not surprise me as they have recently been accepting trade-ins for the new s8..
but to fake it being a g935f seems totally reckless to me.
if the back glass has been replaced i highly recommend never water testing it again lol
(do all g935V say g935f on the back?) im not sure
as you said all signs point to it being a g935V
Edit: also if you did flash F firmware with V bootloader you would still have the verizon boot screen (even if it was possible)
It's definitely a 935v since its has Qualcomm hardware if you bought it refurbished then whoever did it messed up or something you should be okay to flash any Verizon or U firmware without issues

I have no courage to flash or root it and the safest solution is using it as it is and will replace it for dual sim version G935FD.
I cannot return it back because it was purchased from Kuwait and I live in Egypt.
use smart switch and emergency software repair option, and see what will be the initialized version ... you dont need phone for this, just enter info in smart switch

I'll give it a try
Same problem as you bud, my BL is G935VVRU4API3 while my PDA and CSC are G935FXXUBPL2 and my BB is G935VVRU4API3 and my csc code is TGY. Been wanting to flash it to nougat but the manual option for updating is also missing. From what I have read is that i have a G935V but with an G935F overlay. Ive come to accept that im never getting any updates cuz i purchased this phone second hand. Also in phone info it says "product code not active" and my S/N is 000etc. But all functions work fine except for privacy mode yet my knox hasnt been tripped. If anyone has any advice on what type of firmware is safe to flash on to it, it will be much appreciated.
