i bought a Samsung Galaxy s5 SM-G900F and it has some kind of custom rom thought it is just like the stock rom i've seen on other phones (the software version in device info is different, its written android 5.0/khalead nimer (its a name and a last name in arabic for someone) and i also in the build number it has phone number ) so i tried to flash the phone with this original stock rom from samsung mobile website which matches my reigon: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/44600/G900FXXU1BOC7_G900FOJK1BOC2_ILO/
but i keep getting this error in odin:

and then i noticed that product name of the phone don't match with the one on the download mode,so i thought that by updating my bootloader with one that matches my phone model would work so tried flashing those files form here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59556905&postcount=1373
but i got the same error again, i tried flashing the kernel file alone (assuming that if the kernel matched, the bootloader file would be able to flash), i flashed it and odin showed a green pass but when my phone rebooted it says set warranty bit : kernel in the top left corner and just keep rebooting then i tried flashing the bootloader file but it didn't work and i got the same error again
i'm afraid that i bricked my phone !!!?? is this a soft brick or hard brick ????
i know i'm dum idiot for making and trying this things but please help me!!!! i've been trying for days with no solution please help !!
If download mode states SM-G9006V - then that is the model of your S5
You need to flash files for that SM-G9006V model only, ignore any other model numbers anywhere else, only trust download mode

Lets see.... maybe because someone put the wrong stickers on it, and put it in the wrong box?
Stop obsessing over it, ask Samsung if it means that much to you, they're wrong, get over it, you're not a special case, it's happened to a few people here

I told you twice, you never heard of human error?
Never seen the wrong price tag on something?
No biggy... don't even know why you're bothered, you know which model phone you have now, if that's not the model you ordered, return it
And no, Sammobile has nothing to do with Samsung other than the owner hosting their ROMs
The box of about the phone can be changed with changing the rom and the sticker can be wrong on alot of samsung phone but download is the only way to know ur right model No.
This was might the case: You seller knew that he got a G9006V and decide to rebrand it as a G900F(its pretty easy) to get more potential customers witch result in a higher selling price.
You got fooled, its that simple. Try to give the device back.

I have a Note 3 with model number SM-N9009, which is the Chinese Telecom version. It comes with the stock Chinese firmware which has a Chinese version of android (China Telecom start up screen animation, no Google Play, Chinese weather app, etc)
I want to install an U.S. version of Android in it, by using CWM Recover (or something similar) to restore from a stock ROM for a different model.
The Device is currently rooted and has CWM running on it.
I'm wondering if there is any English firmware ROM that is compatible with this model.
For example, the ones that I think may work are the firmwarse for SM-N9005 or maybe SM-N900T
The N9009 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8674 processor running at 2265 MHz while the other two has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974AB running at the same frequency.
It seems that these three models have similar processors, which may mean possible compatibility?
Additional device info:
Model Number: SM-N9009
Baseband version: N9009KEUBMI6
Build number: JSS15J.N9009KEUBMI6
I'm not sure what are the factors that decide compatibility, or if this is possible at all, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It was stuck in download mode, but after popping the battery and restarting it it boots back in to the Android fine.
From what I read, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448084 it seems that the bootloader is locked..
Does anyone know what is going on?
What if I copy the ROM into the internal storage (I dont have a sdcard right now), boot into recovery mode where CWM is running, and flash the ROM from there? Would this work?
still no luck with flashing ROM, maybe I should try a different firmware?
What about TWRP?
You guys have solution to this? I also have a China Telecom Note 3 and all Google Apps dont work with my new phone.
Please help

You ever get anything to work? What carrier you using it on?
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.

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 .

I have trouble instaling supersu on my device , I rooted my phone once using "Towelroot.apk" ,but after I reset my phone I tried the same application but it does'nt work this time
I tried hard to root the phone following the steps on this link [ http://forum.xda-developers.com

I want to root my phone and install supersu and clockwork mode or update it through odin
Please help me on this , I am ready to provide any other details regarding the phone
Thank you in advance

Install this APP and add some screenshots.
As suspected, this phone is a Frankenstein, meaning in your case an international ROM on an AT&T S4. Proper rooting procedures and other material for your device are here. Please note that your device is a US model and comes from a carrier that locks (i.e. encrypts) the bootloader on its devices. As a result there will be limits on what you can do with the device.
I'm tempted to trade devices as I have an I9505 here in the States, but I don't want the locked bootloader.

First: I understand from your reply that the possibility of installing Cyanogenmod or official Rom on my device is 0% :crying:
the link you sent me is about the AT&T S4 .
What if I try an AT&T Rom on my device, does that break it ? ,
second: The phone is made in Vietnam and whenever I reset it it starts with Chinese language thats why I thought it's chinese
Please see the other screenshots I attached you may find something
Thank you.
Your device IS an AT&T S4, so installing an AT&T ROM on the phone isn't going to break it. The link I provided is so that if you do wish to work with this beast you have the proper tools to do so, since none of the tools in this forum will be of any aid. However, I'm going to tell you to run, not walk, to the place you got this phone from and return it, because you will not have a good experience. The bootloader is encrypted, which makes rooting nearly impossible. If you live in a country with LTE, you may have reduced or non-existent LTE connectivity due to the LTE bands on the AT&T model S4 being different from those for the I9505.
Country of manufacture doesn't mean a thing. My I9505 was sold in England by O2, yet its country of manufacture is also Vietnam. As to the Chinese language being default, that's ridiculously simple to change in the firmware, so that doesn't mean much either. Your screenshots however, conclusively prove that I was totally correct, and this is an AT&T S4. An I9505 would have "jfltexx" as the device type, not "jflteatt".

1. IMEI is clean of one GT-I9505.
2. The device type is of one SGH-I337.
3. The Samsung Serial Number is CLEAN too.
4. You own a Franki. But looks more a GT-i9505 that one SGH-i337 (Take a look: HERE for remove carrier label).
5. COUNCIL: I will try to flash via ODIN this firmware for GT-i9505 if I was you. Do it by your own responsibility.

I can't return the phone back because I bought it 5 months ago :/ and from far place . and for the 4G we don't have this service ,so i can't confirm.
by the way , I rooted the device today with iroot and Replaced the Chinese iRoot superuser with SuperSu successfully (I found a tutori on youtube) ,but still I can't install clockworkmod , I will keep trying I may found a solution for that , if no I'll get rid of this phone -_- I may sell it to my brother since he doesn't care about the warranty or rooting stuff
anyway, for the mean time I will try the Rom sent to me by "Joku1981" and see .
Thanx again

Hello Joku
I tried with the firmware you sent me yesterday , can't be flashed . odin give me the same error
I tried with "mobile odin pro.apk" than after reboot a yellow triangle with exclamation mark appeared , see attached pic ,
can I reset the phone or it just gone no way to fix that ?
It's too far for that. You need to install AT&T firmware via Odin for the S4 to function at all, thanks to the bootloader. Hopefully the device was carrier unlocked before you bought it, otherwise you'll not be able to use the S4 without purchasing an unlock code.

Hi Strephon
I got rid of the yellow triangle by following this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUbciGy7kHc and now the phone stuck on "samsung custom"
after that I tried instaling the AT&T rom you sent me , and I got red writting I saw only when trying to instal AT&T firmware ( sv rev check fail : fused : 5, binary 1 ) , I think this is not the right ROM , I even tried the other rom for AT&T I found along with the ROM you sent me in "Sammobile.com"
I have friend who has a Box , we tried installing the rom with it , but still we can't
I think i have to find a ROM with (pda I9505ZHUEMK2 CSC I9500ZSUEMJ6) I tried few roms from here; ( http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9505/TGY/ ),but none of them worked ,
Q 1, How/where can I find rom with (pda I9505ZHUEMK2 CSC I9500ZSUEMJ6) ? Is it possible ?
Q 2 ,since I can access system recovery does that mean the original ROM still not wiped ?
Q 3 , what can I benefit from the the system recovery ?
see pics please
Thanks you.
You can't find a ROM with that PDA and CSC combination, as that combination is for two completely different devices, neither of which is your device. The only stock ROM that will install to an AT&T S4 is an AT&T ROM. No other ROM will work, and your attempts to install an incompatible ROM have, to the best of my knowledge, resulted in that indicator in your third picture.
Your ONLY means of restoring this phone to any kind of operating condition is to head over to the AT&T S4 forums and start reading. I will give you a hand though, and tell you that to eliminate the custom indicator in your third pic, you need to read through this thread on the AT&T S4 forums.
The amount of help any of us here can give you from this point on is going to be VERY limited, so head over to the AT&T S4 forums to ask your questions. The device owners in that section are far more familiar with the quirks of the AT&T S4 and will be more able to help you restore this device than we will.

Hi,
So i tried to update my galaxy s6 edge to the latest firmware and once it did, it got stuck in the samsung screen and wont boot. The phone was rooted before, and now it just stays stuck. I have restarted the phone and now I have tried flashing the phone using Odin. It keeps saying failed and it shows the following:: " SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1"
I dont know what to do to be honest, if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it.
Might I suggest the S6 Edge boards? You're more likely to get the right answer there. You'll find those over here.
Still, this is a pretty general Samsung error.... Not my area of expertise, but a quick Google search on "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1" reveals this error occurs when you A, try to downgrade the bootloader, or B, flashed the wrong firmware.
Suggested solutions include booting in Download mode and flashing the correct firmware, or if that fails to flash the correct firmware with the PIT file.
Which firmware did you use?

Okay, that's officially weird. I've seen softbricks happen after OTAs quite a few times, but never with this error.
You should be able to find the correct firmware here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925T/
As for the PIT file, there's no database of those. Someone on the T-Mobile S6 Edge boards probably has one. You'll need to ask on these boards, the link in my previous comment is for the international S6 Edge.

Next step would be to ask a moderator to move your thread
Hello a friend of mine bought a SM-G900F phone in China. When I booted into download mode to download a new ROM, the screen displays "product name: SM-G900A". You can see screenshots on to the following address (I'm not authorized to insert links): goo.gl/photos/LVJXVdUwAiY6URkJA (open with https protocol)
In recovery mode, it displays:
Android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H.G900AUCU1ANCE
.../...
#MANUAL MODE #
-- Applaying Multi-CSC
Applied the CSC-code : CHN
successfully applied multi-CSC
I tried to flash the bootloader with TWRP and when I rebooted the phone in recovery mode, display the following message: "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help".
I tried to flash the phone with ODIN and an official ROM, but every time I got the following error message:
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth)
I tried in the end to flash the phone using an official ROM for ATT SG-900A. The operation is completed successfully with ODIN (no authorization failed) and the phone is again functional.
So how should I do to return to a ROM SG-900F?
i have exactly the same issue. the sticker at the back says "g900F" but i can only flash g900a firmwares! Please help!
AT&T supply phones with locked bootloaders.......you're not going to be able to flash anything except AT&T firmwares (according to what I've read here on XDA)

do G900A Phones also have the "G900F" Stickers on the back?

I have no idea.......but at the end of the day, a sticker is just a sticker........
Download CPU-Z from the playstore and run it.....it'll tell you with way more accuracy than a sticker exactly which model you have......
Sent from my rooted, debloated stocKK kn0x0 SM-G900F
Well, it says G900A in CPU Z. But it's strange, right? I mean, why would they put a G900F Sticker on a G900A Device? Does anyone have an idea how i can get rid of the AT&T Bootloader? Before i tried to flash Android 5.0, i had a non-AT&T Firmware on my Device. help!
The way I understand it is that the bootloader is a 'partition' on the devices memory. With AT&T, this partition is 'locked' or write protected.....In effect, it becomes 'read only'.......I don't *think* that anybody has found a way to overcome or get around this 'protection'.....
Now this is where my definitive answers stop......i've never owned a device with a locked bootloader so I just don't know......
.......but.......
From what I've read (if I understand correctly) irrespective of what software was on the device before, it's now running AT&T software with a locked bootloader.....this locked bootloader can't be overwritten, so I *think* from now on, the only software that will successfully flash on your device is AT&T software....... (please somebody step in and correct me if I'm wrong).....

Boot into download mode, if it says G900A in there, it's a G900A
If it was sold to you as a G900F you've been stung, end of story
Stickers and firmware model numbers can be changed, download mode can not
Bro it is fake sm-g900f it is g900a flash stock g900a rom thats youre hope :victory:

No need to be a douche.
You were sold a 900A stickered as a 900F obviously to decieve the buyer.
hey buddy.
i have the same problem.
it's a little different from yours.
i've just bought a samsung S5 G900f as the phone info says and the sticker as well.
my phone is running kitkat 4.4.2
and can't get any update via software update.
for the record, the phone shows the AT&T software update which means i need an AT&T SIM card to get an update.
i'm frm morocco and if its An AT&T version of s5 , that means it was unlocked.
when i go to bootloader it says G900A....
as well as the download mode says it's a G900A
i took my EMEI and put it in emei.info website they said it is a G900f.
i installed an app from play store called phone info.
it says that my phone has A G900A bootloader , A G900A baseband version , an AT&T finger print build , and an AT&T original CsC code and an AT&T firmware's CsC code and states that the Csc country is Usa and the hardware revision is G900A.00
but on the other hand it says that my build number is G900FZHU1AND1.
please, anyone here can help me out with this.
what phone model do i have ?
what firmware should i flash via odin ? the G900f or G900A one?
will flashing An AT&T firmware lock my device network again if it was obviosly unlocked?
