Hi The Android Experts,
I'd like to know about flashing using odin 3, can anyone help???
I really interesting in another country firmware, and I found one in thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461580
But one thing I still worry, and I'd like to know,
In this thread there are separated files for PDA, Modem, CSC and Bootloader and I really scare about bootloader said warranty void 1
and I think about just flashing PDA only without CSC and Bootloader. for modem I've flashed XXUCMJ3 and work fine with indonesian CSC and Firmware XXUBMJ1. Now on the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461580 thread there are N900XXUCMJ6_ROOT_ODEX PDA File and I just want to flash that PDA File only, That will be a problem??? or just fine. XXUCMJ6 is for Russia at this time, and is it safe to use with indonesian CSC??? Thanks a lot.
And another question was N900XXUCMJ6_ROOT_ODEX has any changes with kernel?? or still hold the original kernel? and does this Russian XXUCMJ6 Root Odex changed my original indonesian kernel???
Thanks
I am in Thailand and have NH1 firmware.
Would I get any benefit from flashing a newer firmware?
For example India has NH6 firmware.
Can I flash another country's firmware on my phone?
And, does it give any benefits?
When looking at custom ROMS many of them say they need a certain firmware before being installed.
(though they also are very buggy at the moments so I doubt I want to flash them anyway .. LOL)
Thank You
There are not any major changes in newer versions they fix some bugs thats it however you can't just flash some different countries firmware it may cause bootloop and sometimes even soft bricks ...
Edit :- there are some methods where you can flash them safely for eg changing your CSC however I don't recommend it do it on your own risk ....Here's a link to change csc

Well, I am no expert but I have flashed Indian firmware to my grand 2 whic was actually bought from Saudi Arabia. It still works fine. Similarlly, on my previous phone which I bought from Pakistan, I flashed KSA firmware that worked fine too. So, I guess only options for available languages change and nothing else gets affected adversly. Experts, kindly, express your opinion for further clarification.
I have a 910H and I've tried to flash other region firmware but have had problems getting the flashes to actually complete. I had to repack one to use it.
IN any other Samsung device I've owned, the region didn't matter much at all.
Is the Note 4 different?
I'm looking for a Panama 5.1.1 ROM, but the only one released is a 910C variant ROM.

I even posted in that thread with the response that region does not matter, because that had been my experience in the past, but when I flashed another region firmware, it got stuck at the MODEM portion and never completed. I first thought it was a bad download, so I tried several times, but eventually, I had to repack it to get it to work.
So, as I understand it, you are saying that region really doesn't matter after all and that maybe what I experienced was a fluke?

Hi, my answer is strictly based on my experience using the firmware provided on the download link in post # 50th, I have not tried other because I've read that other people did not succeed flashing the firmware provided on the other download links on previous post .
Hi! I've been searching all over the internet for any way to do this, until I got to the point in which I'm not sure it's even possible.
So I finally decided to ask here.
Is there any way I can flash a stock G900F firmware (more specifically, one of the ILO's versions since I live in Israel) on my SM-G900P?
During my search I've come across pit files, csc codes, firmwares, adb and whatnot. I can't make any sense out of it any more.
I've searched this entire post and found nothing that works for me.
I have tried every method that I could, but it just won't cut it.
Every time when I try to flash the European PIT file or the general G900F PIT file or the ILO (android 5.0) stock firmware, I get a security check error.
When it's the rom, I get security check: aboot. When it's the PIT file I'm trying to flash I get security check: PIT.
Some say you can't flash G900x roms on a G900y phone. Some say you can. I'm very confused, I have no idea what to do, and my
stock G900P firmware is giving me some issues (let alone not being in my native language).
My sister bought this phone for me, and it had an Hebrew option, but it was running a firmware far from a stock one.
It also had many problems and bugs and freezes, so I changed the firmware to match the model. Can anyone help me, please??
Hi
For your S5 G900P model there is already 6.0.1 rom download the firmware and install it through ODIN
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900P/
download any country S5 G900P 6.0.1 firmware it will work
Dont try to install other variants firmware to yours it might brick your device

My problem is the default G900P firmware. Even on the latest PVPU3CPCA
running Marshmallow 6.0.1, the phone itself ignores calls sometimes and notifactions.
Yesterday I got a call without my phone ringing at all. It didn't show there was an unanswered call.
I get disconnections and many other problems, even with the default firmware.
This is why I ask if I can change my default firmware, or just give up on my phone.
Note: I've managed to install 5.0.1 Lollipop default firmware (BOK4) and install Cyanogenmod 12 for my model. It is working but the call ignores and disconnections and the notifcations ignores still persist. Should I just give up and sell my phone?

Try other country firmware, there may be bugs that came by default with your country firmware
Try to clean install firmware by going to recovery and clear cache and data
No you can't flash stock firmware for a different model S5
Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll flash my stock G900P Marshmallow firmware.
I will however, change my mobile network supplier, and report here the results.
It could be a compatibility issue with Samsung.

I have used TWRP to factory reset and reset data. Afterwards I flashed a stock
G900P (lollipop, I believe) firmware which I got from Sammobile.
Then my device updated to G900PVPU3CPE1 using OTA update.
I did already try all of the 4 variants (unknown and Sprint), all had these issues with them.
Note: I used to have G900PVPU3CPCA. Now it is CPE1. Not sure how this will effect anything.
I have relative problem but in my case the phone give two different version whith phone checking by 1234 it say it's G900F model AP:G900FXXU1BOC1, CP:G900FXXU1BOC7, CSC:G900FITV1BOC1 but when I check with phone info apk all information is for G900P I ready try to update to MM6 with G900P stock firmware and then the phone IMEI changed to 9....serie after when I restaure the backup ROM the phonegive now many issues like COMEBACK and MENU KEYS don't work, when I receive a call the phone restart and camera don't work if sameone have solution , I thanks in advance
dont flash a tar.md5 on your G900P thats for another variant, it could hard brick your device. The problem youre having with missing calls isnt from the firmware. Are you not using it on sprint anymore? I saw your mention of Hebrew on it which leads me to think that youre using it outside of the US, if thats the case, the phone is entirely capable of using non-US GSM carriers, I used mine in Romania and Bulgaria this summer with zero issue.

All the information is here, read
Whatever model it says in download mode is the correct model, the rest are faked to sell a different model phone as a more popular one
now what to do to make it working like before on GSM
I live in Ghana. I bought my Galaxy s5 from a store. Obviously they said it is brand new. I went back to office and tried updating to marshmallow and I was informed that the phone has been changes in an unauthorized way so I should download the update via kids or smartswitch.
Mind you, the phone came with a firmware for model g900f (I couldn't write down the firmware details since I did not know what they meant then). I thought it was a firmware error so I wanted to upgrade manually, and when I booted to download mode I rather found the model to be a g900p.
After flashing back to g900p I cannot flash back to g900f because the phone is inactivated even though I use a high speed wifi, I cannot access lots of functions like find my samsung.
I know there is a way to flash back to g900f. Please help me and my friend up there. Thank you
guys, you can use a g900p in countries outside of the USA. I just did that less than 6 months ago (Romania and Bulgaria). What errors are you getting when you pop the sim card in? Is youre device rooted with a custom recovery? what ROM and baseband are you on? Certain ROMs only need you to run the SSU.apk to unlock the global capability of it. Also, idoneapps.com is a place you can go to fully unlock the device. @idone and @Nodial are the forum moderators over there and they are likely the smartest guys in the room
---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------
also, idoneapps.com charges $35 for their unlock service, but if youre at a dead end, its a price worth paying. Ive unlocked both of my G900Ps thru them, and their work is flawless
Hey everyone, noob here looking for help. I bought an S10+ G975F/DS a few weeks ago. Noticed it was rooted and still on android 10. So I found firmware for my region and flashed it via Odin. Now I cannot receive or make calls, no texts either. It's very frustrating. How do I fix this?
Try flashing the device's Original FW based on the Country Code CSC, not the FW for the region you reside.
