Hi all
I grabbed one off eBay this weekend. However I'm confused as to which version it is. Here are the details of the phone:
Model No: YD206
Baseband version: S01_003_3034_CN1_M05
Build number: KTU84L.4.4.3-S001-003-HK1.0.3.61
I am confused because the baseband says CN but the build number says HK. I wish to update it to lollipop. But am not sure which firmware I should download CN or HK.
Thanks for you replies
Hi,
Read my post here and here. And you will understand everything.
If it helped you, tell me "Thanks!".

Hello,
I'm a little confused about which region SM-N9005 I have.
In phone settings -> about device it shows:
Model number: SM-N9005
Baseband version: N9005XXUBMI5
Build number: JSS15J.N9005ZHUBMI7
In Kies,
Current firmware version: PDA:MI7 PHONE:MI5 CSC:MI7 (TGY)
Latest firmware version: PDA:MJ8 PHONE:MJ4 CSC:MJ8 (TGY)
After a little research I have found out that TGY is the region code for Hong Kong, and the Build number seems to verify this.
But what about Baseband version? Doesn't XX mean European region?
I bought this phone on eBay. So its quite possible someone fiddled with it to make it work here (BTW I'm in UK).
Can anyone shed any light, before I flash the wrong region firmware via ODIN and brick my phone?
Also I have CF-Auto-Rooted (Thanks Chainfire), which is why I'm not updating through Kies.
Thanks to all in advance,
Jason

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, but I'm still unsure which Region firmware I need to flash. (I'm talking about stock firmware here).
If I flash The Hong Kong firmware, will my phone still work here in the UK? Will it change my phone language to Chinese?
I understand flashing the wrong region for your device could result in a brick. Is this correct?
I really would like a definitive answer before I do something stupid.
Thanks all
Update
Just a quick update..
I read through the entire CF-Auto-Root thread (50 pages!). A couple of posts mentioned that I could update through Kies if I first factory reset my phone.
I did so, and the update succeeded! I then proceeded to CF-Auto-Root again, to regain root access. Joy!
Now my 'About device' screen looks like this:
Baseband version: N9005ZHUDMJ4
Build number: JSS15J.N9005ZHUDMJ8
A couple of questions.
The baseband version is not correct for my region (UK, Europe (XX))
Will this have adverse effects on my connection to networks?
Is it possible to flash only the correct baseband? If so, how?
Thank you all for taking time to help me

Ok go to www.sammobile.com get firmware and download odin 3.09 and flash but don't know if uk firmware will work, if you're phone is working and you got signal don't worry about it just stay how you are
Hi,
I have soft bricked my phone while following all steps to install ROM via CWM and now I'm trying to install STOCK Rom via ODIN but I have no idea which version I need to download.
All I know is its a SM-N9005 2.3Ghz Quad Core, LTE, 32Gb, FCC ID A3LSMN9005, SSN N9005GSMH
It had no region lock. I bought the phone from Kogan and it was shipped from Hong Kong.
I have tried flashing the Hong Kong ROM N9005ZHUDMK1_N9005ZZHDMK1_N9005ZHUDMJ9_HOME.tar.md5 which I downloaded from samfirmware.com but that didn't work.
I have tried following this guide http://lockyep.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/technology-ultimate-guide-to-unbrick-16.html but that didn't work plus there was no PIT file in the zip anyway
At current, I have CWM 6.0.4.4 as when I tried to flash CWM 6.0.4.7 it wouldn't boot into recovery.
Is there any way I can find out which firmware version I need to download? On my HTC I was able to by using adb and get the CID but don't know how to do that with a note 3
Thanks for your help in advance

You'd probably have a Stock HLTEXX SM-9005
Go into about phone and Match the Baseband Version to the one you want to update to, at least until the last 3 characters
E.G. Baseband Version: N9005XXUDMJ7 Is mine.
In fact post me yours?
I can't go into about phone as it's soft bricked....
If you flashed a non HK phone with a HK ROM then you're gonna have issues, find the correct PIT file then re-flash your chosen firmware (you'll have to figure out if yours is a HK model now though) HK firmwares do not play well with any other N9005, Countless people having issues with HK models.
Hi mabrady85,
Sounds similar to what I did, good reputation ebayer pretending to sell Australian phones (item location = Australia etc.) but it shipped from Hong Kong.
My device stopped registering on the network a few days ago after months use. It's not rooted, fully stock. Still trying to understand why. Anyways here is my "about device" information in case it helps you recover the bricked phone:
From about device:
Model number: SM-N9005
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: N9005ZHUENB5
Kernel version: 3.4.0-763416

Hi,
I have bought my GS4 from a small store in my country and not from the importer back in July.
I saw that the latest update for the device was out and tried to update it in the device it self and it didn't work.
Next i have installed Samsung Kies to update the device and then the Kies as informed me that my "firmware version is not supported to update".
the current firmware is(as noted by Kies):
PDA:MDE / PHONE:MD9 / CSC:MD9 (KSA)
Model :
GT-I9500
Android version:
4.2.2
Baseband version:
I9500JKUAMD9
Kernel version:
3.4.5-447845
[email protected] #1
Fri Apr 12 17:22:34 KST 2013
Build number:
JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDE
My question is can I reverse the device back to factory firmware and ROM?
If not, can you direct me to a ROM which looks like a Samsung original ROM?
I am sure that someone have already asked this question but i didn't find it when i was looking the search tool...
Many Thanks
Omri Arielly
P.S: I am so sorry for my English in is not my first language

Hi,
Bought a Galaxy S5 which I'm struggling to update (preferably to a unrooted, stock UK ROM)
baseband: g900TUVU1ANCH
Model number: SM-G900F
Android version: 4.4.2
Build no: DONGCHAO.607
From the Samsung phone info app:
Bootloader:G900TUVU1ANCH
PDA VERSION:
G900W8VLU1AND1
CSC VERSION:
G900W8OYA1AND1
Latest Firmware:
Not found
Root existance:
Yes
Build no.
KOT49H.G900W8VLU1AND1 (Why is this different?)
I could be wrong but from the numbers above I think it's using a Chinese ROM which may be preventing me putting a UK ROM on there.
The model number in Android and the Samsung Phone Info app is reported as a SM-G900F, but when I restart the phone in download mode it's reported as a SM-900T.
Can anyone explain which ROM I should be using and how I get 5.0>?
thanks!
