Boot into download and confirm the model number. You can look for the latest firmware on sammobile.com.

this?

Your phone is not a gt-i9506, it's an sc-04e made for Japan: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SC-04E/.
Return it if possible

The fact that phone boots in download mode is evidence that bootloader is ok. It is not givin any info about the rest of the system condition.
searched a bit mor. pit file gave an installation error. it`s said emmc is damaged. thanks anyway.
Flashing official firmware via Odin doesn't work?
Do you have custom recovery? I think restoring .efs might help restore product name, I might be wrong though.

What firmware code for 900F ANG2 to lollipop

Hi, I have an S5 with standard 4.4.1 G900FXXU1ANG2 and is unbranded and factory unlocked and bought outright.
What firmware do i need to download to update to lollipop? I'm worried i will flash the wrong file and break it.
Thanks for any help.
G900FXXS1BPCL is the latest Lollipop firmware for the G900F BTU
Sammobile .com firmware section, search for G900F and your region in the dropdown, latest build at the top
Are you sure? I checked what you said on that site and comes up with the following....
2016-04-25
Kenya
5.0
G900FXXS1BPCL
G900FOJV1BOF1
Im UK
Why did you pick Kenya if you're in the UK?
Yes I'm sure, choose United Kingdom (BTU)

Ah ok, no, just search your model S5 (G900F) then dropdown for your region and carrier, or unbranded which is BTU
Another way to find the latest (And way faster than sammobile) is this tool

S7 edge g935a won't boot past logo or flash back to stock

It was rooted because I paid for a service to remove FRP. Was working fine for a couple months until on day it started pulsating at the ATT logo. I can get into download mode but when I tried many times to flash back to stock it gets error message. The only way to turn it off is by getting into recovery mode and powering off while plugged to charger.
How can I get phone back to normal?
I get this message on the phone

Hello, I'm having the same issue.
I'm trying to find the stock firmware to reflash it back to stock, however, Odin keeps failing.
My Basband is :
G935AUCS4BQH1
My Build Number is:
NRD90MG935AUCS4BQH1
does anyone know how to find a correct firmware for that?

Problems with Samsung Galaxy A7(2016) SM-A7100

Hi friends,
I have a Galaxy A7(2016) SM-A7100 bought on Amazon and comes from Hong Kong.
I want to install a ROM with Android 10 or 11 and when I'm running Odin, I get this message on the phone:
Instalation Failure. You need to unlock your device to install a custom OS.
Do you know what I can do to unlock the phone and let me install the ROM?
Thank you very much for your answer
Hi, I think I have been able to fix the phone locking problem (I am not sure).
Now I have another problem, when Odin is doing the TRW download on the phone, it appears in red letters on the phone: Binary size is too large: recovery
After that the download stops and Odin shows FAIL in red letters.
What can I do?
