Firmware SM-900H - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone have firmware or know where to get it for the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-900H? I received a free one that is soft bricked. Someone tried to downgrade from LP to KK and it did not got well. I found one site called SamMobile but you have to pay to get the download.

Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Or you can just use Kies to restore your phone since it has a recovery option

Um....unless things have changed, sammobile don't charge for downloads......I've downloaded numerous firmwares from that site.....

I am currently downloading firmware for s5 so I can extract the stock recovery. I want to flash stock 6.0.1 recovery and unroot.

I was under the impression that recovery was part of the kernel on samsung devices. That being the case, I hope you are running marshmallow on your device because flashing a MM kernel onto a KK or LP build won't work......

It's same like the UK version? Because I saw that update on sammobile a little time ago. But this romanian version it came out after the UK one. So it's something new, or if you can find some change log please post it, I'll try to search to.

do you have to root the tablet in order to install update?

No you don't need root to install it, you need a recovery mode like CWM or TWRP (hope that's the name). If you're from the region where the official update is available ota, no you don't need root or costume recovery, you can update via Kies. If you will flash the ROM from sammobile site via recovery (ex. CWM) and you have root, you will lose it becouse that's the official ROM from Samsung and it's not already rooted, but you can reroot , your device. Look in to the Android Development category to finde out more about rooting and flashing ROMs or Kernels. I recommend you to read more about rooting and flashing ROMs becouse you can brick your device easily, so take care.

Untouched Lollipop Firmware (androidfilehost.com)

Some people have requested other download links to get their firmware from other places than sammobile.com. I have to agree with them, when I downloaded from there it was a$$ slow and they make you pay for a quicker download speed....which is a HORRIBLE model for the android community. Others also couldn't download from sammobile directly on their device. Therefore, I have started to download certain firmware and upload to Android file host.
Here is what I have compiled so far:
SM-N910T - N910TUVU1COD6
SM-N910W8 - N910W8VLU1BOC4
SM-N910R4 - N910R4TYU1BOC4
I used this method to install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2903733
Is there any other firmware you would like? Let me know and I will add it to the collection.
I am not responsible for any damage, flash at your own risk.
If I install this can I put twrc recovery and use cf autoroot?

No. Those are base firmware tar files. Flash via Odin 3.09 or newer. Both CF Auto Root and TWRP are flashed in the same manner.

Yes you can. If you update via Odin, you can then also use CF autoroot to root and install TWRP. I will post a link to what I have used to do this. I am using COD6 rooted with TWRP 2.8.6.0

thanks!
I was wondering what other firmwares can be flashed to a Tmobile Note 4? Is it dependent on what other regions have the Qualcomm processor in the Note 4? I'd love to try something other than the Tmo firmware.
Thank you good sir!

I just happened to see your unanswered question - didn't know if you were still looking for an answer - unfortunately you cannot flash firmware from another phone on your phone using ODIN without bricking your device. you can flash the new Firmware for your phone and follow steps offered in the various XDA threads to install roms that are based on different variants - for example - if you are on TMOBILE Note 4 - once you have rooted - you can flash a Rom from the International version of the NOTE 4 - there is another file you have to flash to fix certain problems - but it can be done. you probably should do a google search to find all of the specifics - good luck - hope I helped you.

Thanks, it makes sense. I got a little confused for a minute because I can flash any country's firmware on my Tab S, but it's the WiFi - only version. Now I remember about installing international ROMs on the Note, system only. Thanks buddy [emoji106]

There is a newer firmware for the W8 - BOE1 - release 05/05. BOC4 was from 03/12.

Canadian Variant 928W8 stock firmware

Any one knows when it will be available? My phone has been FRP locked, so need it urgently to unbrick my phone... Thanks!!
Sam mobile usually has all the firmwares available to download as Odin packages. If not I could probably do a factory reset, make a twrp backup and upload it for you? You'll of course need to root/install twrp following all the guides here for that to work though.
I don't know if you're looking for a stock ROM or not. Honestly haven't read much about the FRP lock, haven't even bothered flashing my Edge+ yet (also W8 variant, which is weird for me, first android I haven't flashed.. ). Anyway, there is THIS in the T-Mobile section (rooted+deodexed though).
Hmm... the problem is that I cannot even boot into recovery mode as this stupid FRP is blocking every custom recovery/kernel/ROM.... Only the stock firmware would help to unbrick the phone...

Thanks for the link, but it is not the stock firmware so that it won't help in my case. FRP basically blocks any recovery/kernel/ROM other than stock version. Please please please always keep in mind to check"OEM unlock" in developer option before doing factory reset on a custom ROM, in particular we are using W8 variant, that Samsung hasn't released the stock firmware... In other words, there is no way to unbrick the phone once it is FRP locked.
Anybody manage to find this? I need the stock firmware now too :\
Is it true that the battery doesn't charge after it's FRP locked? So the missing W8 firmware even if it comes eventually when the battery is dead the phone is dead? How in the hell are we supposed to fix this with no firmware available on sammobile?! Is there really no other way? Who has the firmware? Do the carriers have it?
Samsung Firmware has stock firmware for the W8 variant (full ODIN tar files), both OGD and the new OK5. I've been checking sammobile daily, and nothing (even at the time of this post).. Just thought I'd post in case some were not aware..

You're welcome! Since I made that post, sammobile has 2 versions of OK5 firmware now. IIRC, they have a free download method (ableit, it's slow). Should be able to change CSC, but I could be wrong..
Anyone know how to fix it yet?
Canadian variants are on sammobile now.

My phone is unfortunately on bootloader 3 whereas PF2 is bootloader 2... The phone can't go back and Odin immediately fails when trying to flash PF2.

You verified that the new software has the v3 bootloader? There are a bunch of different odins to try. Try all of them.
But unfortunately there is no fw released yet for pg1. It needs to be leaked. AT&T is the only carrier that doesn't release their FWs. I'm not sure how they get away with it.

Did you flash the BL file in Odin when you went back or just the 3 other files without the BL?
Just the other 3

Whats the issue or error even if BL is flashed or why is not recommended to flash BL ?
Well, I made the dumbass decision to root. That didn't last long. Using Odin just flashed the 3 other files and after it downloaded the OTA it continually fails to install.
I used Odin to go back to the June update 2x from the July OTA update. I flashed all 4 files without issues. I used the 3.12.3 Odin . I am getting the notification to install the July update still but I ignore it or clear the phone cache then try to install it so it fails. Usually I dont get the pop ups for a couple days after that.
All 4 yes. When I flashed BL finally it installed OTA fine.
You've been saying he can OTA flashing everything but BL. You cannot in fact do that. You have to flash all 4.

I have only ever flashed the 3. Done this twice on my phone, once on a buddies. So thats simply not the case. When he said the install failed was that the install of pf2 or the ota install. Remember you need to use the "official" aka not prince version of odin to install the pf2 files. As far as the ota goes, no idea what you giys are doing wrong. My process has been, odin 3.12.3 pf2 all but bootloader, setup phone, connect to wifi, search for ota, download ota, install ota, finish "personalizing" device, odin with prince cosmey the engineering bl, reboot, root, reboot, supersu pseudo and enable su from boot, reboot, then flashfire v15 script, reboot, flashfire xposed, reboot. Nevr have i once had an issue.
The OTA will fail on install after download if the system has been modded at all. So all 4 need to be flashed to be fully stock.

BREAKING: Galaxy Tab S3 Android 8.0 Oreo update rolling out now

BREAKING: Galaxy Tab S3 Android 8.0 Official
When Flashing Firmware You MUST use ODIN v3.13.1 for all OREO Firmware, so from now on.
ARA2 :
OREO MEGA Link :
ODIN v3.13.1
ODIN v3.12.7
https://drive.google.com/open?id=19qPXS0S32dtDfEJJ7-jz-aRj8wzM6a0w [CURRENTLY UPLOADING]
https://mega.nz/#F!Trxx3ZRS
KEY : !mR8xq7LhN5vWgEUBExVWpw
*edit*
If you are on a Custom Build or Custom Firmware, You might want to go back to stock, before flashing this. I did the following if you are ROOTed with SU/Magisk:
-Flash Ashyx latest TWRP
-Wipe ALL in TWRP, YES to confirm
-Go into Reboot Menu and POWER OFF (You will get a Warning that there is NO OS. Doesnt Matter cause you turning tablet OFF
-Boot in ODIN Mode, open up ODIN 3.12.7 and Flash ARA2 Firmware.
-When complete, Open ODIN v3.13.1 I provided above (V3.13.1 is For ALL SAMSUNG OREO builds now)
-Extract the Oreo firmware package, Reboot into ODIN Flashing Mode, Flash BL, AP, and H0ME_CSC.
-Sit back, relax, it should boot when ODIN is done....
*edit*
Theae are BOTH UK Builds and it doesnt matter, the whole world gets almost the same Build and they get them at different times. I didnt even have to set the time to regular and it was easily able to locate. Wifi works on BOTH sides of the Pond Guys, FYI.....
Thanks to @mariomsg1 for SM-T825 firmware package : Drive link(T825 LTE version):https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-tz...ew?usp=sharing
ROOT for Oreo current instructions, grab files from TWRP by @ashyx and search for Magisk Beta
1) Flash ashyx TWRP
2) TWRP Back up
3) wipe ALL -> YES
4) Reboot Recovery
5)Restore Back Up
6) flash Magisk Beta v16.4
7) Flash Devirty file
8) Reboot will take a while but she's all good:
