Hello everyone. I recently bought an Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F). After I made the "first run set-up" , I went to Google Play to download all the apps I needed.And then Google Play suddenly stopped and an error poped out : "Google Play stopped working"..ok I tried again,after aproximatively 3 minutes the error shows up again and again..I know that Samsung has some problems with Google Play,so I tried some fixes found on the internet. I tried deleting all data,cache,and updates.. It worked.Looks like my phone has some "problems" with the new update (6.0.5) for Google Play Store. With the old one (5.x - sorry I can't remember the version),I have no problems. But,the other problem is that after a few minutes,the app updates itself to the last version. I even tried to make a factory reset,but the error still shows up (I tried to reset the phone from the settings and from the recovery boot). I don't have a problem using the old version of PLay store,but I also can't use an outdated version for too long. Is there any way to fix it? I'm trying all kind of fixes found on the internet for hours and I'm getting angry. Is there any way to fix it,or I can send it to warrany? (I'm afraid to send it to warranty because I know that all they do there is to reset my phone and I lose a lot of time waiting to make a freaking reset that I can make even myself).
I would have posted an image with the error,but this forum doesn't allow me to put links into my threads for "security reasons".
So please,if you can help me It would be awesome. Thank you again and sorry for my bad english.
I forgot to mention,phone model is SM-G900F with Android 5.0 (I can`t make update to 5.1,I dont know why.)
Try reflashing 5.0 stock firmware using Odin
Note: G900F does not have 5.1.1 yet

Well,I'm very dissapointed because I got my phone to some GSM Services,and most of they told me that this is a common issue for Samsung devices and you must be pretty lucky to not get into such errors with an Samsung phone. So yes,I will "maybe" try to flash the original firmware with Odin,but I don't think it will help. So anyway thank you for helping me,I will try to use this phone with this bulls*it error and maybe,maybe (which is quite impossible) Samsung will release an update that would solve this problem.
Whats your firmware build number?

Just to lighten you up, this problem is not "common" in Samsung devices. My family and relatives uses mostly Samsung phones and tablets and never did we have this problem, even on two Galaxy S5s (G900F and G900FD).
Flashing the stock firmware should help.
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Forums
Well,I reflashed the stock rom with Odin3.9 but this problem still occurs. If you are talking about Baseband version than this is it: G900FXXU1BOJ1
EDIT: After 2 months of trying to fix the problem,it still occurs.

Hey everyone. this is my first post here.(hope I'm not in the wrong section)
I have a samsung galaxy 3(or i5800). I bought it just a couple of days ago.
Everything works fine. Just one problem, it has android 2.1 inside. It's a lil bit slow for my preferences.
I really want to update it to 2.2 but I am facing a big wall ahead of me.
I read some threads here saying that I should use a software called Odin. I really dont know how to do that. Its not that i am a noob but it just doesnt recognize my phone and some errors in chinese appear
Can someone help me please?!?!?!?!?!?!

First you need to install kies...so that you have the drivers for ur phone installed in the PC...
Second you need to check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873645
its explained very clearly
You could also update the normal way using Samsung kies. It's the official program to update your phone.
Nah I couldn't do it with Kies. It would say I had the latest firmware. Anyways I managed to upgrade it with odin, so thankssssssss
Hi,
So recently I just upgraded my Galaxy Grand Prime from Android 4.4 to 5.1 lollipop. And as of I know the firmware that I downloaded from SamMobile was not from the region that I am leaving. So for that now when I try to setup Google Now. It says 'Your Account Is not illegible for Google Now'. I asked on Android Forum and they said me It maybe the regions problem. Even it was totally fine on 4.4. I even tried the Fake GPS Thing. But no solution it won't work.
If there any way to fix it please let me know.
*(and btw I am completely noob on xda and I have auto capitalization enabled on my keyboard )
Hi all !
I'm here cause i really need your help and to be honest everything i've found on web so far, is telling totally the opposite things so i'm lost.
Let me explain a ltl, i purchased a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos/Dual Sim black version (SM-G935FD).
Actually i'm from France ( and i was travelling to Serbia for work, and broke my Note 4 )... The problem is i can't do any update from the phone "Registration Failed" when i click on it.
So after few hours on google, looks like the updates simply doesn't work cause i'm moving France - Serbia ... and the phone seems to be imported from Vietnam.
...
first of all, do you think this update problem is realy linked to this ?
second, i was searching on SAMMOBILE for SM-G935FD to try to put a French Firmware with odin (i don't even know if i can do such a thing without ****ing it up ?)... and on this model all i could find are countries from ASIA.
when i type *#1234# in call i get this :
AP : G935FXXU1BPJG
CP : G935FXXU1BPJG
CSC : G935FOXE1BPH1 (i'm not sure if its a O or a 0 ... the letter or the number :-/)
Model : SM-G935FD
in the Software Infos (in settings) i got this :
Android Version : 6.0.1
BaseBand Version : G935FXXU1BPJG
Kernel Version : 3.18.14-9519568
Version Number : MMB29K.G935FXXU1BPJG
...
please guys i spent a lot of money (in hurry) for this phone, and i'm scared that i got ****ed by the vendor...
if anyone here knows something and can help me... would mean a lot...
Thanks in advance for any kind of help guys.
please guys... if someone got any answer... would mean a lot...
as well if u need any information that can help you answer me feel free to ask...
thanks again.
No need to worry INAX93,
Firmware for 935F will work on 935-FD
Please go to the link below (external link)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/115870/G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FOXA1BPL2_XEF/
You can download this firmware and flash it using Odin_3.12.3 in the download mode by pressing volume down+home+power key when ur phone is switched off and selecting the correct files (the firmware package contains 4 files, hence you need to select the correct slot) and you should be good to go with latest firmware for France...
Hope this helps...

Thank you a million times! And yes it bhelps a lot!
I feel a lot better just with the hope your reply gave me!
So you are sure that i can go with this french firmware and will not get any trouble right? (cause the thing is that i'm not able to even find on Sammobile the firmware i currently have, and looks like its impossible to save from the device without rooting...)
I see a lot of people getring troubles with some functions not working...
And the last thing do you think the "registration failed" that i get when i click on manual update in the phone settings is linked to my location? (not being in Vietnam?)
Thanks a lot again!
Hello, french too, flashed Orange ROM for g935F on my brand new g935FD, everything OK.

Oh salut salut ! Thanks a lot! I guess i'll do try to do it today then! Thanks a lot!
Joyeux Noel a toi et aux tiens !
Merry Christmas to all of you guys! And thanks again for your help and kindness!
I use the ZTO 935F firmware on my 935FD with no problems, works without problems.
Dont worry INAX93 this is a confirmed official download of the French firmware. Dont worry it wont trip knox if done correctly and also your phone will be restored to french firmware without any trouble. I have done similar attempts of flashing official G935F firmware on my G935-FD without any problems am able to update and knox warranty also intact. So go ahead and wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year....
---------- Post added at 03:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------
Registration will also succeed INAX93 so dont you worry...just go ahead and flash the firmware....cheers....
Hi guys !
I just wanted to thank you all one more time ! with your help i did it ! now my phone (SM-G935FD) is with his French XEF firmware !
So thanks a lot to all of you for your help !
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all of you !
Hi dear experts !
Hope all of you guys are going well, that the new year brought only positive things to you and your family !
I'm back in this thread cause I need your help one more time... everything was well until approx 6 months ago maybe a ltl more... maybe when the 7.0 version went out...
Actually that's when I faced the problem cause i bought a Gear S3 Frontier... I started having troubles with notifications mostly, they were delayed (sometimes for 3-4 hours !)...
While doing a lot of tests in all ways... i found that when i uninstalled all the updates linked to the "Google" app, or disabling it... it solved the problem... Then 6-7 months later i got pissed of cause i wanted to use some of the Google Now features... So i started searching again... after all kind of tests, i finally found that the problem also get solved when my Bluetooth is OFF... When it's set to off i can have the last update for the Google app and everything works fine...
So as i discovered that, i started thinking... maybe the only problem i have actually is a problem with my Bluetooth... as it started 6-7 months ago, 7.0 Version, Gear S3... the point is I started using the Bluetooth before (for my car) and it was always on... but maybe all mixed together... the Google app updates, the 7.0 Version and the Gear S3 king od bluetooth use... is not mixing well... or i don't know...
then i remembered that i flashed my S7 Edge (g935FD) from Vietnam with a firmware from France (g935F)... and maybe i did something incorrect while flashing that led to some Bluetooth troubles that i just discovered... (i had some problems with bluetooth before, like reconnecting randomly to a bluetooth device even if i disconnected it or things like that... )...
So i started searching and find out that there is actually few different way of flashing it, using odin... and i was unable to find a clear explanation of the differencies to be able to understand what i need to do to flash my phone again and in the best conditions.
There is people saying that a bad way of flashing can lead to bluetooth issues (and other things even worse but ok...), so if someone here can explain me, how can i manage to do it the best way... it would mean a lot...
differences between CSC and Home_CSC for example ? then some people are saying "check the re-partition" others say that you must avoid that... how do I know what is the best to do ?
then a lot of them are talking about CSC codes ?
I hope someone will have answers, i want to try to flash it again to try to solve this problem, without bricking it, and also without triggering the knox thing...
thanks in advance for help again...
Ps : the problem i was talking about is :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/s7-edge-notification-delay-problems-t3635161
or even :
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...and-Answers/Delayed-notifications/td-p/114947
no one ? please guys...
still no one to help ?
guys i need just to know if it may solve my problem to flash my phone...
i need to know if i need to check the "re-partition" thing in Odin... somewhere they say "you must check it if you are changing the CSC" and other say "You must avoid checking this unless you have a Pit file" ...
So what is the correct thing to do ?
TLDR: Samsung N920F seems to be a N920T, and you can flush ROM from N920T.
Recently my friends asked to help them with their Galaxy Note 5 which was bought somewhere in China. It was stuck at Android 6, with last updates from 2016, and seemed to have some malware (factory reset did not help).
It was really strange to see model N920F - I checked many threads here, and everyone says that there should be no such version as N920F:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/note-5-n920f-n920t-t3310411
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/settings-sm-n920f-boot-loader-sm-n920p-t3776224

https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/note-5-european-version-sale-sm-n920f-t3190929
Unfortunately, not even one of those topics found any reason for this or solution for updating. So I tried to find out the true and update phone myself.
At first, I booted to recovery. And there I saw that it model name was nobleltetmo - same as for N920T.
So I tried to install TWRP from N920T via Odin. TWRP successfully installed but phone stopped booting and TWRP only booted but did not work - it told me about bootloader version mismatch. So I found out that phone's bootloader version was N920TUVU4DPK6. So I tried to find a working firmware for this bootloader version and found it on xda: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...eral/stock-n920t-stock-n920tuvu4dpk6-t3518252
Fortunately, I could enter download mode and flush it with Odin. After it, phone worked fine, and now it was officially N920T. But even better things awaited - after updating it managed to fetch fresh updates! So I downloaded and installed them. Phone updated... And found new updates... And about 10 times again like this. Finally, I got the latest official Samsung Firmware with Android 7.0 - and it works flawlessly. Even Googe Play, NFC and banking services. I suppose that after this I could flush TWRP again because bootloader version also updated - but official firmware was quite okay so I didn't want to set up Lineage OS.
By the way, I think that I could find latest firmware and flush it with Odin in one go - but I didn't succeed in finding it.
Please beware that this N920F turned to be N920T - but your one can be another (N920V or N920P, for example)!
Now I am pretty sure that F in model version stands for "F***ed up".
So check bootloader version and be accurate.

I think you can try this rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/rom-lineageos-15-1-note-5-android-8-1-t3737405
If it is not compatible, you can enter rescue mode and check bootloader version.

Hello,as i said in the title,I am getting troubles with my Samsung Galaxy s7 edge 935t,it originally runs android 6.0.1,and i wanted to upgrade it to the newest official android rom,so,i read the topics on phonandroid,as there was almost no topic on XDA,I followed the steps,downloaded the files they told me to download,and it has now turned into a 935a,idk why,and i can't get out of the "factory binary" i have no way to start android of anything,i can't either install a .zip file like with twrp,wich i installed on my tablet and works just fine.
BTW,i discovered that there is 2 variants of the s7 edge,the exynos and the snapdragon one,and that the snapdragon is not flashable,and that's the one I got,but knew that after trying the flash with odin
i couldn't get the image uploaded through google drive and i don't know how to put it in here,so if you want images of the phone,feel free to ask
