If I'm not mistaken, the contents of that partition are unique to your phone. Restoring from someone else's won't work or help you.
Try using Odin to flash the BOK3 Factory Restore image. It will delete everything and reset your phone; provided you have a valid SIM card, the phone should then regenerate your IMEI
Yeah it should work, but no, it doesn't, and I heard that the information can be changed to build your own one.
Or can you tell me how to restore it in AP, CSC, BT? i alreade flashed it on AP but it doesn work.

Are you sure you have a verizon S5?
You flashed this G900VVRU2BOK3_G900VVZW2BOK3_G900VVRU2BOK3_HOME.tar.md5 in odin in the AP section and it failed?
---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------
here is the 16gb S5 pit file Load it in the PIT section then load the BOK3 tar image in the AP section make sure under options that repartion is checked. If it fails pull battery try again plug cable into different port on computer maybe try different cable. If it still fails you dont have a verizon s5

Yeah, im really sure, thats a lil bit weard that it doesnt work, i was tinking if i can downgrade to kitkat, what doy you think about it?
I already do that and install the pit and the firmware and then i realize that Odin its saying that is a Firmware update and no a restoration and when the s5 starter back like if it was an actualization.

If you cant flash the above firmware then you can't flash anything verizon. Are you sure you dont have one of the Verizon partner phones as they take different firmware. What build does it say you have on the phone?

i think that i found the problem after read a lot of post and unkowing this, i´ve passing this like nothing but my phone isnt activated by verizon. there is a way to activate it without calling verizon or puting a verizon sim? im not currently living in US so i can buy a verizon sim card and activate it, -.- , so i have a s5 that i cant use, so i got a rock, right?

If you don't have a SIM card in, you're not going to have any useful IMEI data. The SIM is what allows the phone to communicate with Verizon's network. What were you planning to do with a phone without activating it?

Recovering IMEI And Data Connection After Flashing WRONG Root Package Intended For I9300:
Make sure you have Samsung Kies or the Samsung USB Driver installed on your PC.
Download and Extract: Odin3 3.04.zip - 457.11 KB to your PC if you don't already have it.
Download and Extract: Param_Bin_I9305.zip - 612.14 KB to your PC.
With your Phone Switched Off, press and hold: 'VOL DN' + 'HOME' + 'POWER' to enter Download Mode.
Connect your phone to your PC via USB Cable and start Odin.
Check your phone is connected by seeing if a COM Port in a Blue box is present under ID:COM.
Press the 'PDA' Button and select the 'Param_Bin_I9305.tar.md5' file you extracted from the Zip Archive earlier.
Press the 'Start' Button and wait for it to finish flashing. If successful, you will see a Green Box with 'PASS!'.
Wait for your phone to reboot then go to your Dialer and press: *#06#. You should now see your IMEI and your Data Connection will be back.
but this is for an s3, and is talking about param_bin that should be tha NON-HLOS.bin, or i am wrong?

OK, firstly thanks for all your help.
-The Pit file that you give me I already flash it and it didnt work.
-I tried to flash the official firmware, and it didn't work.
-And already flash both of them together.
-I already tried with a Verizon SIM, and it didn't work.
-Already flash the modem and it didn't work.
And with the text that I put on the previous message, is from a guy that solve this but flashing a param_bin.
But in the s5 we dont have param.bin, but we have a NON-HLOS.bin.
So, I already have the same problem. I doesn't have the .nv_data.
And I'm currently Root in the BOK3 version. And I don't know what to do.
How did i know if i have a developers edition? that would change something?
Here is a backup of efs partition made by flashfire

Hello everyone
Please bear me with me for I am a dinosaur that grew up with Symbian phones, then was forced to use Windows phones and now recently converted to Android, therefore not an expert in this field.
Bought the Note 4 off ebay in UK. Mobile banking app and Android Pay say my phone is rooted however Root Checker says it isn't . I have tried to update to Marshmallow through ODIN but I get the FAIL Auth error every time I try...
In settings the phone shows up as N910F however it is a N910V ... I do need help to figure out the precise model though just to make sure I am installing the correct software.
Also, I am using a Lebara SIM card (partners with Vodafone) here in UK, not sure if that matters.
Would really appreciate if someone would have the patience to guide me how to install Marshmallow on my phone, I just want a clean one and no rooting. Tried different tutorials on the internet but none worked for me or I am surely doing something wrong.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Andy I'm also in the UK with note 4. To find out the correct model you need to boot to download mode. Power off the phone, Hold volume down + home + power together. It will boot to download mode and from there it will show you the model.
Post your correct model here and I will post the firmware with the correct steps to flash.
Hi Callum
In download mode it says N910V

Ahh you have the verizon varient.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/117781/N910VVRS2CPL1_N910VVZW2CPL1_VZW/
Here is the stock marshmallow firmware for your device.
Download and unzip the firmware. Place it in odin in AP. In odin options enable auto reboot and uncheck repartition. Put phone in download mode, connect to pc and start.
Thanks for the firmware , that worked like a charm. Is it possible to install a non-Verizon version on this phone? One that does not have the Verizon preloaded apps?
Also, do you know anything about the Note 4 getting the Nougat update?

You can only flash firmware for your device which is N910V. Which means unfortunately you can only flash verizon firmware. However you can root your phone and use titanium backup to remove the bloat.
As for the N update I have read and heard rumours that we will get it but I don't have my hopes up. Even though the Note 4 is 2 years old it's still a high end device. It hasn't been officially announced yet. Only been announced for s6/s7 and future releases

1st download the firmware.
Download odin, latest version is fine but I use v3.10.6
On phone settings go to about device, tap build number 7 times until developer options is there, go on developer options and enable USB debugging.
Plug phone to pc to make sure drivers are up to date.
Once firmware is downloaded unzip it.
Power off phone and put into download mode, vol down + home + power.
Open odin and click AP, insert the firmware. Odin options should be, re partition UNCHECKED, auto reboot checked, f reset time checked.
Plug phone into pc, in odin log it will say added with blue box saying com:3 or similar.
Press start and it will flash and reboot. The first boot can loop a few times or hang on the Samsung logo for a little while it's normal.
If it hangs for more than 15 minutes remove the battery for a few minutes then power on again and it will boot.
If you get any errors or are unsure let me know.

Hello, yesterday i bought used samsung galaxy s7 edge dual, sm-g935fd. It was rooted, owner said root was done to flash a rom to let phone see two sims. Went back home, started to install apps, and saw that snapchat doesnt work with rooted phone, so turned superSU, chose full unroot, phone did restart but stuck on bootloop. All I saw, was csc:g935f0xx1bph1 and pda:G935FXXU1BPLB. Could't find matching pda and csc roms, so installed another, for g935f, and everything worked fine, except from network, it only says emergency calls only and no signal, but it finds that my sim is from tele2.
On other thread i saw that i can use home_csc for my csc code, and any other pda, bl, ap, tried that and odin failed to flash it, so now flashed netherlands stock rom that changed my AP:G935FXXU1DQEF CP:G935FXXU1DQD7 CSC:G935FPHN1DQD1 Model: SM-G935F/DS.
Can you guys help me to get my network signal working again? I think that matching software for my phone would fix it, but i cant find which one to flash, or is there anything else that could have caused that?
Thank you for your help.

Sounds like your EFS is corrupted...
*Encrypted File System (EFS) | The EFS refers to a folder called EFS which can store information like meid, imei, serial number, config, diag settings and radio settings, etc in an encrypted format at the file system level stores. So it is very neccessary for us to backup EFS before flashing ROMs.*

i dont think that they can help me. I am not really good in flashing, because english is not my native language so i dont know what kernel means, whats the difference between firmware and software, and even rom, but i think that i have wrong bl/ap/csc/pda or something like that. Found that F in sm g935fd means it is international, looks like i can flash any country unbranded stock rom, but somehow it wont work for me, and i cant believe i did that much damage just by clicking on unroot in superSU app..

From what I understand this has the v3 bootloader and Oreo, correct?
I need some help getting this phone unlocked. Anyone care to lend a hand? I can use Odin and ADB just fine, I just need to find the correct files needed for the version I have.
Also, if I can actually get the correct files., can someone outline the steps needed to do this? I've been trying to unlock this thing for about three weeks and my brain is turned to mush with all the things I've tried.
Please don't send me PMs trying to get me to contact through other means.

Hey. Don't worry. Frp lock is a protection for your phone this occurs when your oem lock is on. To unlock it go into developer options and then tick the oem unlock option . But for now your phone locked all you can do it flash stock firmware using odin . That's the only way . I know the data ma be precious inside the phone but it be useless until phone in not booting . So ho and flash stock firmware for your device from sammobile.com
Thats all . I hope may this helps you and inform me as soon as possible.
Stay Blessed?
Sorry for bad english.

Yeah, flashing the firmware doesn't reset the FRP. Tried just AP, AP and BL, all five, doesn't matter. On first boot it requires the previous owner to log in. It's stored somewhere that's not touched by the flashing process somehow. Or it fails. After doing all five files on first boot it says it's installing something, gets into the 30% range, then says erasing for a bit and reboots.
Is there any way to do this?

There is no oem unlock on a U model. Need to study up a bit before advising.

flash a combination file factory reset from combo then flash legit bit 3 or higher firmware. The 30% failure after erasing is normal. 32% normally
Thanks for the reply. Is this what I need?

Its test and diagnostic firmware released by Samsung. It is not a usable rom. You'll flash this. Factory reset from inside the settings menu. Then you can reflash official firmware. And you should be good to go unless this has been patched

So I went ahead and flashed the combination file in the first link and did a factory reset. Now when I try to flash the files I already have it fails. I'm assuming that's because I flashed a bit 5 combination firmware, and the stock files I have are not bit 5.
How do I know which firmware files I need? Do I need to do all files (BL, AP, CP, CSC) or just one? It's very hard to figure out what to do when everything I read is different.

Yea you need bit 5 files. Flash all 4. If you look at a firmware number. 5th dig from far end will be a 1-6 that's the current bit, anti rollback whatever you want to call it.

Thank you so much for the help. I'm getting closer.
I am currently downloading a file called G950USQU5DSC1. Should be bit 5. I'm pretty sure it's for Sprint, and this phone was originally Verizon. Will this be a problem? I'd very much prefer AT&T or T-Mobile, but Verizon might be OK if I'm locked to it.

verizon firmware is unlocked sim wise sprint firm probably wont work but also should setup based off of your sim card inserted.
dsc1 i believe is pie which is awesome on s8 you can change carrier also with the combination file pretty much as your doing with each personalized firmware to each carrier

I'm grabbing the file from this page: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/samsung-galaxy-s8-firmware/
How can I tell which carrier is which? I'd rather just flash the correct one off the bat. Looks like the only one on that page for the 950U that is Pie is the Sprint one. I don't have a SIM. Well, I could take the one out of my current phone temporarily if it'll help set it up correctly.
Is the process for switching carriers just flashing the CSC file? Or is it more involved.
EDIT: There is a CRK1 file that is U5 and Oreo. Pretty sure that is Verizon. Cancelled the other file and am downloading this one. Going to take a while, using my phone as it's faster than my home internet.

The CsC determines sales code and carrier setup. I use sammobile or updato.com they have all firmwares needed
Boom. It worked. Typing this on the S8. Even accepted my AT&T SIM and connected to data.
Flashed an 8.0 firmware, but it seems to be getting updates. Maybe it'll update automatically to 9.
Anyway, thanks again. Free S8 is nice.

that firmware is from sprint. something worth sharing is that all S8's designated for the US market are literally the exact same physically. You CAN flash whatever firmware you want for whatever carrier on a g950u. You will need a modified version of Odin to flash firmwares originally intended for a different phone tho. I had the FRP lock on my dads old S5 the other day, but i was able to get thru it with my gmail information oddly enough. Not sure why google thought that authenticating use on that device per my gmail account credentials was ok, but..... ok i guess.
Once you get the phone up and running, put a sim card from whatever provider you intend on using in the phone, if it asks you for an unlock code, then youll need to get one from the original carrier it was intended for or a third party paid site. AT&T has a sim unlock tool on their own site you can try.
Teh reason i mentioned that all the S8s intended for the USA are literally identical is because you can take a sprint S8 and use it on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mob blah blah provided youve flashed the correct firmware, which is either the U1 version or the bespoke firmware for that carrier

Very good info. Thanks.
When I first booted the phone after flashing I had put my StraightTalk AT&T SIM in and it connected right away. It also started downloading and installing system updates, all the way through the Android 9 upgrade and the August security update. Pretty cool. The only thing I see is after a reboot or power on a notification pops saying that a non-Verizon SIM is installed. But that notification can be dismissed, and as far as I can see doesn't recur until next boot. So easily ignored. And there's Verizon specific bloatware. Maybe I'll download AT&T and T-Mobile images just in case. I've been thinking about carrier hopping, as I have pretty poor AT&T coverage in my area, since with StraightTalk I can get a Verizon SIM added to my plan and take my AT&T one off pretty easily.
I haven't really used the phone much yet, as I'm waiting on a case, but I'm not sure I'm going to like the Samsung skin. I'm used to a very stock Android experience, as I've only really used Motorola phones and my current Nokia 6.1. I just like plain vanilla Android. But I'll give it a shot. Already installed Nova Launcher and F-Droid.
followed everything on this thread, uploaded 5 level firmware files just fine, but now i get a "system software not authorized by at&t.." message.. any help?

Please let me know how this works for you with your G950U1. It had problems on my phone, but it could be a problem with my hardware.
I noticed that after installing, the software is identified as G950U, and not G950U1. Not sure if that matters though.
ok i got this to work to get back to a working state but to no avail i still have no imei no matter how i try . i also do not have anything show up in the service menu or any other of the menus except a few . i do not have a original back up of the imei nor can i get it to stick in the efs folder . i am really lost at the moment. all in all i have really learned alot about this s8 . i have flashed just about every available firmware to this phone i have even had twrp on it but now it is at a stage that i am in dire need of some tru know how . i am stuck with the binary 7 as i understand there is no going back from which means only u or u1 firmware is available there is no other with the 7 binary that i have found it will not read a sim or sd . if anyone has some help to offer again i would be very grateful for it . and thanx in advance for any help thrown my way . ps i'm not afraid to screw this phone up any more than it already is i have recovered from soft and hard brick already so i'm pre-prepared lol.

Imei is stored in a partition called sec I believe. They are also certificate wrote to this device which means you can't just rewrite it. There is u u1 and w firmware all bit 7 for your device. as for twrp I believe you mean safestrap as we have locked boot loaders
Best thing I can say is flash the absolute latest try to get correct base band for whichever firmware. If not may need a professional imei service that can write cert based imei but we don't discuss that here on xda
Ok that info helps get me to another stage lol and yes I meant ss . I have it back now on the u firmware got it acknowledging sna xaa spr . I think the imei is in there somewhere but what baffles me most I have nothing showing up in the service menu and I cannot log into Samsung on it .I can log in on my J737V. But also aside said still not showing baseband ims not registered and it will not register in the update part of settings. I don't really know what caused all this .But anyways thanks for the info I will be going through the info you provided. The slot for the help . Oh and if anyone needs any thing for this devise chances are I got a lot of it lol.
Use phone with Visible
I'm trying to use this factory binary to transition my phone from SM-G950U1 to SM-G950U so that I can put Verizon firmware on it and use on Visible (Verizon MVNO). I downloaded the binary linked above and extracted the tar file, but when using ODIN 3.12.7, I get an error message when trying to load it to the phone (it just says success:0 failed:1).

I'm not 100% sure but If you have combination firmware on your device, perform a factory reset with combination firmware it very well may rebuild your IMEI partition. I've read somewhere that the combination firmware does that if your do a factory reset with it. Factory reset is in the settings menu after you flash and run the combination rom(Factory Binary), whatever.

Why are you gonna repost something I already have in the general section
Hi All,
I brick my SM-N9860, after playing with changing csc on TGY firmware I got to situation that my phone doesn't boot to system and I have FRP lock. Its stuck on download mode (attached pics).
Factory reset in recovery mode doesn't work and I cant flash new firmware with odin because of FRP lock.
Maybe some can help how can I resolve this issue?
I tried to flash combination file with pit file but I get error that there is a FRP lock. I wanted to try the option in recovery "Apply update with adb" but I cant find OTA file for SM-N9860.
From what I understood there is some boxes and dongles like Octoplus Pro Box that can reflash the phone and remove the FRP lock but maybe there is a solution easier than this that works with odin??
The problem is to make my phone to boot, than I could remove the FRP lock because my problem not the google credentials only that it not boot up after factory reset...

Why don't you just put your Samsung account and password in? Because that's what you need to do in order to turn off the frp.. If you're going to tell us you don't know the Samsung user account and password that's only going to make us think the phone is stolen because that's basically what frp is meant to do block people from using it or doing updates or factory resetting it to try to remove the frp.. All you need is your Samsung account and password..

Can you do me a favor with a patched version of Odin or just try multiple different Odin versions and flash only the CSC, AP and BL. and yes this is going to factory reset it probably but at least you might have the phone back.. Is this an unlocked bootloader phone btw? Edit: Make sure you're flashing the correct BL AP and CSC that the phone originally came with. Edit: Can you tell me what the last firmware was that you had on it?

Hi Chetbiz,
On your original thread, I did mention a ”patched” version of ODIN, I thought you already tried it. I guess not...
So there is still chance [emoji848].

Hi fjorger)
I tryed with patched odin yesterday, what I didn't try is to flash only 3 files, AP, BL, CSC.. so I'll try it tomorrow evening after I'll get my phone back from technician hopefully he we'll succeed but I'm doubt it...
Thanks)

From what I understand I need Binary 4 file to unlock frp lock, maybe some one knows something about this file and if we got one anywhere?
I have never heard about it before, sorry
You may have to bite the bullet and send back to Samsung and have them reset the phone to original factory condition. It may cost some money, but better that than not having a phone at all -- a lot less than buying a new note for sure.
If you can't get it to flash on your own, I think that is your only option.
One quick thought - have you tried to turn off the phone and then boot back into Download mode? if not, try holding power and volume down until screen turns off - and when it is still off -quickly plug the USB cord into your phone. This will (should) force download mode - if it works - click volume up and then use Odin to try to flash the last firmware file you have (try all four files)
I don't know if this will help or make a difference, but if you haven't already tried this - it may work for you.
Good luck....

Yes I think too that sending back to seller is my only option, I'm trying to connect with him, I bought on ebay, the problem he's doesn't answering me.
About download mode of course I entered the download mode after he was turned off. Nothing works, the strange thing that its fails to flash the latest tgy firmware, there I dont have an error about pit file or frp lock but its still failes on AP file when trying to write super.img... So I don't know what the solution for that, maybe in next firmware version it
will succeed

You probably already tried this - but just in case, go to this link and download the most recent PATCHED Odin -
Then get several different USB Cords - Samsung Original is usually the best - but get different cords just the same -
then try to flash all four files in that patched odin - if it fails, close odin - open it again and reload the files and try again using a different USB Cord.
I believe that if you keep trying, you will eventually get it to work...
By the way, If you can't get the Seller to do the right thing - contact SAMSUNG Support and arrange to send it back to them. They may charge you (Probably around $100 or so I think) but they can definately help you get it working again.
Hope that helps - Good Luck.

super.img is from AP. Try to flash the build that was working on your phone before the issue happened, but without the AP.
