Unbrick Fake S5 - no backup done :( - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey !
I've got a fake S5 but it was running miserably, so I decided to change the ROM.
I tried to flash the correct version, but I think I screwed it up. The computer detects the phone, but if I try to turn it on or to charge it, nothing happens. I think I installed a wrong version of the preloader.
I tried to reflash other versions, but every time I try I get an error like:
Brom Error ... 5054
Obtain DRAM Failed !
So, I need to find the right version of preloader.
It wasn't a problem if I would've backed the old ROM, but I didn't. I tried to get more info about this device, but I need the right Scatter file in MTKDroid, which I didn't managed to find it .
before I tried to flash this device, I run CPU-Z but there weren't the correct info. It said the procesor is a Mediatek 6582 but I think it's, in fact, a Mediatek 6572, because it have 2 cores and a frequence of 1.3 Ghz.
On the back of the device it says Model: SM-G900F SSN: G900GSMHF.
I tried a lot of roms from needrom.com for G900F but with no success. Do you have any suggestions what to do next, to revive this little (5") fake phone?
Many thanks,
Marian.

All time, the update not finished operation, the raison is unkown for me.
Use to flash two metodes:
1) From Android, insterted pendrive and It says: Firmware upgrade found. Check to wipe device before install.
2) From recovery mode: Same operation.
The device continuus with the same problem, I looked in the xda-developers and I saw one firmware with android 5.1.1. Also read this firmware working little more quick.
I decided downgraded from 6.0 to 5.1.1 for try.
The firmware is completed, I could read.
But, cannot load never more. Only detect chip intel sofia FlashTool E2.
I can loader again Recovery_6.fls and Boot_6.fls. But not work, when the device tries to start android, he makes to reset.
Not shows nothing into the screen.

Got a used Note 4 sm-n910F with wrong firmware installed on it

hello, i just bought a used note 4 (SM-N910F) today.
And when i went into the download mode to install latest stock firmware using Odin, i found that the product name is wrongly listed as SM-N910T3.
Eventhough the phone is shown as N910F on the box and in the settings menu too.
Anyways, i still went ahead and tried to put the latest firmware of n910f into it using odin and i got the error message - emmc write fail aboot.
I then came out of it and tried to factory reset it from the settings menu which then took me to the recovery menu for some reason instead and showed me various options including wipe factory data reset.
And below that i was getting this error message in red that "dm-verity verification failed"
I still went ahead and performed the wipe, during which i got the error message "e failed to mount/preload (no such file or directory".
After that i rebooted the phone and thankfully after waiting for 15+mins it booted up and seemed to have reset the phone.
But now I'm pretty sure the earlier owner messed up n installed the wrong firmware for it besides rooting it (as shown by the knox trip count).
So my question is, how do i install the correct firmware for it?
thanks for any help.. will be greatly appreciated.

Your original model is SM-N910T3 thats Tmobile note 4 usa model not the N910F European model.
Your original.model is shown correct in download mode that's your motherboard model.
Probably its refurbished device with Modified software and box and sticker behind the battery just for looks like N910F international model because N910F has more value in market.
I personally had same experience before as you i bought N910F online and i found it was N910P sprint usa model in download mode.
Dont try to flash any N910F firmware your device may end up hard brick and completly useless
you can flash N910T3 firmware it will flash without errors.

The booloader has been updated. Then you should use the most current rom.

The binary versions have to match (what's currently on phone versus what you're trying to flash) unless it's an upgrade (higher numbered ). The 5th number from the right would be the version number, in your case the firmware you're trying to flash G935FXXS4ESCB, 4 would be the binary. You need to find out what version your phone is on currently then either match the binary number or upgrade to latest. Google your phone model (SM-G935F) and check to see what the latest firmware version is. You may have taken a software update at some point in the past since you last Odin flashed which may have upgraded your software to newer binary.
You also may need to ensure you are using Odin3 v3.13.1 for newer file format (lz4) in Oreo.

Converting n910p to n910f - need help

Hello,
I have a problem converting samsung note 4 n910p to n910f. At the beginning I dowloaded TWRP and flash it by Odin. I made a backup of everything then downloaded the rom for samsung galaxy n910f Pixel Experience. When installing rom I get a message "ERROR 7". It occurs when installing each custom os example: ViperOS, HAVOCOS rom. All the time there is the same problem. On the xda forum I found a user manual how to flash the baseband firmware. I flashed OK1 - nothing has changed then PE2 - the same, "error 7" is still there. I also tried the Trex888 user manual to install T-mobile OS + ramkernel + datafix and the phone stops while loading - bootloop and the teelphone temperature is rising that I cant touch it when I leave it on the bootloop.
Do you have any verified way to install custom rom to n910p? It's hard to find a clear instruction on what to change to flash a custom rom on n910p
I restore backup and have a bootloop on the sprint logo
I ll try to instal Dr Keaton rom with H-vitaminkernel, maybe this ll help...
see
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68967827&postcount=2
and subsequent posts in that thread
I will check the method described in this post again, but I did it before :crying:. All new roms with android 9 like for example havocOS have written that they also work with trtlespr. This is written in the information when installing the rom in twrp. So why does error 7 pop up for?
I did the first method by installing the PE1 baseband from this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/basebandsbootloaders-ok1-pc1-pb5-t3358357
Then, according to the instructions, I installed the system, krnel and datafix.
"Try this rom this will work flash rom and dartafix and kernel all together
Download rom
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224381907
Download data fix
https://mega.nz/#!qcdnySyB!55DemVnZN...a0u4_V60fn5mKo
Download kernel
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=117985 "
The system doesn't start, it stays on SAMSUNG screen and gets bootloop. The phone heats up very strongly within a few minutes, it is possible that even the processor temperature is higher than 80 * C.
By installing firmware and baseband PE1 from the above link in Odin shows that everything is ok ( success). But can it be that, despite everything, the baseband did not get in, therefore it does not accept this rom or any other?
The same example, when after flashing TWRP by Odin, if we do not disconnect the battery, TWRP will not install. Is this possible with baseband and frimware for PE1?
Ok, I tried everything that was in the post you linked. I flash my phone to PE1 firmware, then install dedicated rom, datafix, kernel from links and phone stuck on samsung loading logo. This situation i s always when i try any rom. When I do a restore backup phone stuck on Sprint logo...
Can anyone help with this?
Has anyone ever installed a customrom with android 9 on n910p?
I have sm-n910f as a backup and I can do anything on it.
Are these n910ps somehow handicapped?
n910p that I ave is in very good visual condition, without scratches. If I can't do anything with flashing new rom on n910p phone, can I buy a motherboard from n910f or n910c and install it inside instead of n910p board?

Thanks, for the reply. maybe I ll try to once again install the customrom before I order the board form China :cyclops:
Can someone explain me how to install example HavocOS ( android 9 ) on n910p? This is possible because when I install it in TWRP there is information about compatible version of phones and there is "trtlespr". So it must be possible to install HavocOS on n910p
Why I need to change the rom in this phone? I live i Europe so Sprint stock rom dont want to connect with my Red Bull Mobile or T-mobile operators...
Ok, I install Dtux Rom on Standard PK1 Sprint rom. Working, but I hv problem with T-mobile network. Everything is working on the GSM module but without internet. When I go to settings and then network -> change to CDMA or LTE I hv information "Searching for service" and no signal. So how to activate mobile data - internet connection on this rom? I know thath LTE is not working in EU with Sprint N4 but even CDMA is not working

[issue found][archived] FRP / OEM locked device that won't start OS

Edit 3: TL;DR: This is appears to be an S8 exclusive error, it's shown in the recovery:
"Product device tree not found, couldn't verify firmware" or something like that. For solutions, please look that up.
So, I bought a bootlooping S8 in the hopes of fixing it.
Since OEM and FRP lock are on, I went with installing Samsung firmware on it, as installing a custom recovery at this point is not possible.
The default recovery wouldn't work, so I wasn't able to know which firmware exactly to flash, because I couldn't find out which model exactly I have bought.
I do not know the carrier of the device either, but it should be from some german provider.
All of the firmwares I tried just bootlooped, but the recovery works again, except for ADB, which is quite unfortunate, and I have no idea why it fails, the device shows up when I'm in the recovery menu, but as soon as I activate ADB, it's gone from the list of connected devices.
Combination firmwares sometimes show some turning gears animations, but then crash with some, thought often memory related, pretty random crash issue.
Another problem I am now facing is that in the process of trying to find a working firmware I now upgraded the devices "binary level"? (forgot what exactly it was called) to 6, so I can't flash any older firmware or combination firmware than 6, since downgrading isn't allowed.
I received the device with either binary level 1 oder 2.
My theory is that I don't have the right firmware, since I keep seeing dm-verity and license errors...
I am happy to provide logs if necessary.
The goal is to have an unlocked bootloader/ custom recovery.
I literally am going INSANE over this FRP blocking me from flashing TWRP and being done with this in under 10 minutes, please help :c
PS: Some random info attached
Edit 1: With the IMEI code i found while opening the phone I now know my model number: SM-G950FZKADBT.
Any tips for finding the PDA code of the originally installed system? Or finding a matching firmware?
Is this even neccesary? Why do official firmwares not work for me? :c
Edit 2: Somewhat solution: I think the only way to recover this device would be to find it's firmware, which is just NOT to be found...
So, until a miracle happens I'm gonna keep reading "Firmware is not valid" errors in the log
Did you look in samfrew.com ? ? ? I just grabbed a fw from there.
The dnld was loooong so I purchased a privilege for faster speed . . .
