I have s5 900F and i've installed sixperience rom and now i want to downgrade it to stock rom, Im in india and had purchased this phone from Hong Kong, dont have any idea about which frimware should i install.. I can flash the rom but please help me with the url about which firmware to install..
Thanks please respond as soon as possible
Device is facing network problem
Are you sure that you are running the G900F, make sure to boot into download mode to find the proper phone model.
Then find the latest firmware from sam mobile that supports your aforementioned phone number found on the download mode.
Download Odin, and flash away. Does not really matter what android version, just make sure your phone model number matches.
Reboot your phone and make sure to do a clear of cache and data wipe, just to avoid those bootloops.

I am currently new to all this stuff so i dont have an exact idea what i was doing
First of all i rooted my Device I9500 Which had 5.0.1 Android
then i installed TWRP Recovery and then i was not able to backup any stuff to External SD Card so i installed some Boot.img which i exactly dont remember which i installed from watching any youtube video then later some problem occured It showed some error like "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" then i flashed Philz touch recovery which then worked and i was able to backup my data but i was not able to Boot into my Original ROM or couldnt see an option for that. Then i downloaded The Ozcan V6.3 ROM and tried installing it it succesfully installed but after that its not able to boot uo and stuck at SAMSUNG Logo Screen.
Please Help me What to DO !!!.
Thanks In Advance
If your device can still get into download mode, download the stock Android 5.x image for your device and flash it using Odin. That will get you back to square one so you can start over with rooting and installing the custom ROM.
I had the same problem on my gs4. It would only go to galaxy logo so I flashed the lollipop firmware via odin and all is well.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Just have to flash the default one with Odin ?
i also backed up my old data with philz to my sd card that also and i also downloaded a new Default 5.0.1 ROM ?
Which one should i flash ?
and whats the critera for finding ROMs leaving the model number ? (noob question)
Is the S4 unlocked? If not, what country are you in and what carrier do you have?
My Country is India and its the International Version I9500 and i am not pretty sure that it was unlocked or not .but it was rooted and recovery was installed
Added later :
I just installed recovery back and then tried to install ROM the ROM was also stuck on the Boot Loop I think my boot loader isnt unlocked and ima stuck there because of that
I9500 isnt bootloader locked. And u must be flashing the boot.img on other partition that not in the odin package. So u must search how to repartition ur device. But. U MUST VERY CAREFULL WITH REPARTITION OPTION! U MIGHT BRICK UR DEVICE IF U DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT U DOING!. And if u wanna flash recovery and boot.img or bootloader thing. U must ONLY flash for I9500 version!. And if u successfully repartition ur device. U will lose all internal storage too. Ok good luck

You would know if you were carrier unlocked as you'd be able to put a SIM from a different carrier into the S4 and have the device work. To get you the correct ROM we still need to know your carrier.
secure download : enabled
Hi my galaxy s4 gt i9500 is stuck in a bootloop. When is boot I get "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"... when I boot into download mode I see "secure download : enabled" which wasn't usually there. Am trying to flash the pit file with twrp but Odin is failing.... is it because of the secure download enabled?? Please help me
You can't flash the PIT file with TWRP.
Do you have Odin? Do you have a copy of your stock ROM, downloaded either from Sammobile or samsung updates? If not, you'll need to get them. You then flash the firmware through Odin WITHOUT the PIT file. This should restore your device to operating condition. Afterward, you will of course need to root the S4 and flash a copy of TWRP to be able to install a custom ROM.
Carrier is Airtel
Hi guys.
So i have an Note 3 with HongKong firmware that i want to flash new international/europe firmware as it is not working on europe sim card(i think it will solve the problem...).
The firmware that is installed on it is N9005ZHUENB5 so i thought aha then this is the Hong Kong 16GB version that have flashing problem. But then i found out that the phone is 32 GB and not 16 so it can not be the Hong Kong 16 GB version but it has for some reason the Hongkong firmware on it.
The IMEI number under the batteri is matching the IMEI nr android is showing, but the serial number is not matching.
The weird part is phone INFO app shows this:
SN under batteri: Made in Vietnam
SN andorid show: Made in CHINA
Even weirder:
imei.info is giving me N900 Galaxy Note 3 as Model????
This has made me being carefull falshing it and i am asking you guys to advice me before i start flashing any new firmware. I have rooted and done EFS and pit file backup in case i screw it up.
What do you guys think, will it be safe for me to just download a europe firmware and flash it with odin?
Download and run Phone Info from Play store and post screenshots .
This is the info from Phone info app(attached)
This is not a new phone is it as i see warranty void Knox 0x1 .
Looks like a previous owner has flash a rom .
Thanks for feedback JJEgan.
I have rooted the phone so maybe therefore? The phone has android 4.4.2, however i believe this should not have anything to do with what i want to do. I can flash 4.4.2 or flash 5.0 via odin, but just want advice before i do that.
Thanks

Well at least you're 32GB - not sure why only HK phones seem to have a 16GB model. You're right to be cautious - there seems to be partition differences also, but if you search for a EU version of the PIT file for v5 Android you will be prepared in case the Odin flash fails. I'd also get SuperSU zip file on your extSDCard and an Odin flash version of TWRP or CWM - untick the Reboot option, flash the firmware you want, (Wait for it to finish completely - it will sit for a while then let you know it is done) then Reset, untick the Reboot again, then flash the Recovery. Reboot phone into Recovery and flash the SuperSU file and restart.
All being well you should boot into the stock firmware and do the set up. Then you can flash whatever ROM you want in Recovery.
If it DOESN'T work, Search for how to fix, and if you can't find what you need, ASK, don't just go playing...
Thanks @Journyman16
Result:
Tried to flash with lolipop stock firmware and my backed up pit file( from andoird 4.4.2))--->Fail/brick with Volume size is too big 4620288 < 4718592 and invalid ext4 image error(Odin setting Auto-reboot and F. reset used)
Tried to flash with lolipop stock firmware and with pit file CSB_signed_HLTE_EUR_OPEN_32G_0805 --->Fail/brick with Volume size is too big 4620288 < 4718592 and invalid ext4 image error(Odin setting Auto-reboot and F. reset used)
Tried to flash with stock HK kitkat 4.4.2 firmware without PIT file---> Success and i am back to stock firmware but that did not solve my call/SIM and wrong serial number
Maybee i should donwload an europe 4.4.2 firmware and try flash with that?

I think when you use a PIT for such things you need to tick the re-partition box - if you're going to try it, read up on it. I haven't done it since I had an S3. Mess up the PIT process and it's a bit of work to get the phone working again.
I'm puzzled about the serial number thing - even if the main board was changed, that wouldn't explain it because the IMEI would also change AFAIK. I wonder if the wrong S/No might be the reason you have the SIM/Call issue?
You could now try a factory reset. See if it changes anything. Other than that, research about EFS repair/restore.
You DID have a backup before all this... right?
Fingers-crossed

Ok guys:
I have one bad news and one good news
The good news: I managed to flash with Poland firmware after advice from @FeralFire(really appreciated, thanks) following his guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2613374&page=13 I believe i can now flash any firmware as it is now international pit and firmware
The bad news: I can still not call/sms only data is working, and the serial number is stil diffrent then the one under the batteri. The IMEI is correct though. So i have now ruled out that it was something with HongKong firmware as it seems like this problem is not related to which firmware is in use. I have also tried with Region lock away app but no luck
I do have backup of my EFS and pit file, but the problem is this phone has had difrent serial number from begining so no help from EFS backup i believe?
I will try to digg some more in to EFS repaire threads here on xda and see what i can find, but any threads you guys advice or other tips i can try?
Again thank you for helping me out here: )
Dont remember the solution ( probably efs) look on S2 forum as their where a number of wrong serial posts that may give you a clue .
I have galaxy S5 with lollipop 5.0 showing model G900F under the battery sticker and in about device and other my phone info apps but when I switch to download mode it shows model G9006V. what is all this? what actually is my model. I tried to root using kingo pc file but it failed giving error "recovery is not seandroid". I recovered using samsung kies 3 now device is working but still can not go to recovery mode giving same error. When I try to update using device setting software update it gives error as "u have tried to modify ur OS in an un authorised way.
Hi!
Label in battery is the actual model. I think a wrong ROM was flashed.
Download from sammobile the right version ROM.
You can flash MM
Then flash TWRP recovery and flash superSUxxxxx.zip to root your phone

If wrong ROM were flashed it would not match with the lablel. I tried to flash the firmware from sammobile that matches with the label i.e. G900F but it failed. When I connect with Kies it shows G900F but while upgrading with Kies I have to write G9006V and S/N otherwise Kies says model is incorrect. I think its actually G9006V flashed with G900F but I am confused.
Samsung Knox app shows baseband and bootloader as, G9006VZNU1B0E3. PDA G900FXXU1P0EC. CSC G900F0JV1POF1

Did you try with Odin?
G9006V
I had the same problem. I had lollipop 5.0 international version, with all Google apps and all features. In "about phone" was info that is G900F. Every G900F root, or stock upgrade via Odin failed. What I've found out Is that only I can do is flash stock rom of G9006v, and that is only I can do. And I done it. But when I done it, I had only English and Chinese option for language. And I could not install any Google application, I did not had Play store. Everything from Google was blocked. In "about phone" now shows the info G9006v. I root it, install aptoide, but what I need is Google can enyone know what is the problem. Also I found out, when I searched for network and country to I can download stock rom is,in application Phone info *SAMSUNG* was showed that my phone is from UAE, xsg network, but stock ROM from sammobile didn't work. And now in same application is showed that my phone is from China, network " unicom"... WTF!? I worked with so many fones,I never saw anything like this.
My GT-I9500 is stuck at Samsung logo after installing TWRP recovery and rebooting. I used flashy app. Now i am trying to find solution to recover my phone. When i enter recovery mode it is shown as stock recovery(IMO). i am newbie.
However i don't know my phone's firmware number. All i know is there is "LRX22C.I9500XXUHOAA" in stock recovery mode. Is this firmware version? what is it? Just like shown in this pic: (i can't post link. cuz it's my first post)
cdn.droidviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/galaxy-s6-recovery-screen.jpg
Using Kies 3 is no option. It doesn't show firmware version when i enter my S/N in firmware upgrade. (some error)
So my question is which version of stock firmware/rom should i download? Because there is no specific version for my country.
Please Help me. Thank in advance
Any for your device.
Put phone in downlad mode. Flash with Odin the tar version of Twrp.
What do you mean there is no specific one for your country?
It has to be one, flashing a firmware different from your country's may cause signal lost issue, or no sim card detected or imei problems, where are you from?
from where did you buy the phone?

So why you wanna IMEI??
If you wanna flash stock rom then download it for j500f
And if you got bootloop so go to stock recovery and select wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset

Because through IMEI I'll get the Serial Number of my device and by using the serial number I'll flash it with stock ROM through Kies. Kies require the model number and IMEI number of the device.

The IMEI is fake and when I try to download the stock ROM it gives so many options for the ROM I've downloaded some 3-4 different ROMs but went unsuccessful.
for stock recovery, I can't access any mode except the download mode on my phone.?
