Hello, recently my friend asked me for help with his Galaxy S5 G900F. He has bought it from Asia, it's fully stockish but it doesn't update nor through OTA nor through Kies, so he's stuck with 4.4.2. He asked me to root his phone and install latest stock samsung firmware available. I've searched and read the forums for a while, but I'm worried I might screw something up.
This is his modem version:

}
So, could someone be so kind to help me? What root method would be best for this problem? CF or something else? And can I simply root the device and straight away flash 6.0 rom through odin, or do I have to do something else? Also, what stock rom is best atm (region =EU/Poland).
Flash a rom for SM900F From Sammobile.com and then flash TWRP 3.0.0, both via odin, and then you can easy root.
Good luck

Hello everyone.
First of all i apologise if this has been asked before but i got confused reading through hundreds of replies and needed a clearer answer.
So here's my situation :
I flashed android 5.0.1 chinese leak as soon as it got out. I followed the tutorial wich contained all 5 files and used all of them to flash ( frankly not knowing their function ).
Now i want to flash the official firmware but dont know what steps to take not to soft brick my phone and get unknown baseband & imei. Any help and advice is welcome.

P.S.: also can smb tell me wich firmware to use to flash?
Just flash. Nothing special you need to do.
I wont get unknown imei?
3 weeks ago I made the purchase on ebay a Sprint Galaxy S4 SHP-L720, according unlocked for any carrier, I use it in Mexico, but I have the following problems:
My galaxy s4 comes with a custom rom Wonder Negalite-Rom
the rom does not work well because the applications are automatically closed.
the version of the software is the L720VPUAMDC, and according to this version is for android 4.2.2 and I have installed 4.4.2.
I have no backup to return to a stock rom.
GPS never connected, all the time is looking for satellites
the battery is discharged quickly, I have tried others and got it.
as I can do to return to a stock rom, but since I s if the rom that I installed is the L720VPUAMDC, or upgrade to the newest.
that risk if I took the flash to L720VPUAMDC, I read that this process is phones die, and that will remove the custom recovery, and custom rom to install a stock rom.
someone who can help me with this process.
Thanks for your time !!

Hi guys,
Just got a Note 4, was expecting it to be a 910F but it's a Tmob variant. Don't really want the messing with returning it etc, having done some googling, it seems straightforward enough to debrand it, just a case of flashing BTU firmware over the top using Odin. I've done this before on other Galaxies without problems.
Having a few problems this time though. I know it's definitely sim unlocked, thats working fine. I'm using Odin v3.10.7 and trying to flash N910FXXU1COJ3_N910FBTU1COI1_N910FXXU1COJ3_HOME.tar.md5 downloaded from another thread on here.
This is what I am getting....
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

hello i have recently purchased a strait talk samsung galaxy S5 model # SM-S902L and have been trying to root the device.
i have used the TWRP and Odin method as towel root says it is not supported the method i have been trying to use is located here on the XDA forums her:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/galaxy-s5-straight-talk-variant-sm-s902l-t3162340
the problem i seem to be having is Odin is flashing and the phone is accepting the flash even the flashing screen says i am running a custom OS how ever both titanium backup and root checker are saying i do not have root privileges....what am i doing wrong here? any one have any idea or that can help?
i found a stock rom in that thread as well i was thinking about flashing it then trying the TWRP method again.

I just purchase a Verizon Galaxy S7 Edge 32GB
this is my build # mmb29m.g935vvru4apI3
I followed the rooting instructions and got root.
Well I realized the hotspot didn't work :/ so I tried installing the Stang ROM
that didn't install, and I downloaded the PI3 stock rom image and tried to install that via oden
but it fails. I've included some screenshots below.
Will Stang work with PI3?
If not how can I restore back to stock?
Thank you for your help

I'm currently using stangs rom on pl3. When it fails that's normal it will fail the first time you just have to load the files together (don't click start yet) in Odin, restart your phone in bootloader mode until it says device added and then start.
