[Q] How do i know firmware of soft bricked I9500? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My GT-I9500 is stuck at Samsung logo after installing TWRP recovery and rebooting. I used flashy app. Now i am trying to find solution to recover my phone. When i enter recovery mode it is shown as stock recovery(IMO). i am newbie.
However i don't know my phone's firmware number. All i know is there is "LRX22C.I9500XXUHOAA" in stock recovery mode. Is this firmware version? what is it? Just like shown in this pic: (i can't post link. cuz it's my first post)
cdn.droidviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/galaxy-s6-recovery-screen.jpg
Using Kies 3 is no option. It doesn't show firmware version when i enter my S/N in firmware upgrade. (some error)
So my question is which version of stock firmware/rom should i download? Because there is no specific version for my country.
Please Help me. Thank in advance

Any for your device.

Put phone in downlad mode. Flash with Odin the tar version of Twrp.

What do you mean there is no specific one for your country?
It has to be one, flashing a firmware different from your country's may cause signal lost issue, or no sim card detected or imei problems, where are you from?
from where did you buy the phone?

[Q] Need Help!!!!!! Phone Stuck at Samsung Logo

I am currently new to all this stuff so i dont have an exact idea what i was doing
First of all i rooted my Device I9500 Which had 5.0.1 Android
then i installed TWRP Recovery and then i was not able to backup any stuff to External SD Card so i installed some Boot.img which i exactly dont remember which i installed from watching any youtube video then later some problem occured It showed some error like "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" then i flashed Philz touch recovery which then worked and i was able to backup my data but i was not able to Boot into my Original ROM or couldnt see an option for that. Then i downloaded The Ozcan V6.3 ROM and tried installing it it succesfully installed but after that its not able to boot uo and stuck at SAMSUNG Logo Screen.
Please Help me What to DO !!!.
Thanks In Advance
If your device can still get into download mode, download the stock Android 5.x image for your device and flash it using Odin. That will get you back to square one so you can start over with rooting and installing the custom ROM.
I had the same problem on my gs4. It would only go to galaxy logo so I flashed the lollipop firmware via odin and all is well.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Just have to flash the default one with Odin ?
i also backed up my old data with philz to my sd card that also and i also downloaded a new Default 5.0.1 ROM ?
Which one should i flash ?
and whats the critera for finding ROMs leaving the model number ? (noob question)
Is the S4 unlocked? If not, what country are you in and what carrier do you have?
My Country is India and its the International Version I9500 and i am not pretty sure that it was unlocked or not .but it was rooted and recovery was installed
Added later :
I just installed recovery back and then tried to install ROM the ROM was also stuck on the Boot Loop I think my boot loader isnt unlocked and ima stuck there because of that
I9500 isnt bootloader locked. And u must be flashing the boot.img on other partition that not in the odin package. So u must search how to repartition ur device. But. U MUST VERY CAREFULL WITH REPARTITION OPTION! U MIGHT BRICK UR DEVICE IF U DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT U DOING!. And if u wanna flash recovery and boot.img or bootloader thing. U must ONLY flash for I9500 version!. And if u successfully repartition ur device. U will lose all internal storage too. Ok good luck

You would know if you were carrier unlocked as you'd be able to put a SIM from a different carrier into the S4 and have the device work. To get you the correct ROM we still need to know your carrier.
secure download : enabled
Hi my galaxy s4 gt i9500 is stuck in a bootloop. When is boot I get "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"... when I boot into download mode I see "secure download : enabled" which wasn't usually there. Am trying to flash the pit file with twrp but Odin is failing.... is it because of the secure download enabled?? Please help me
You can't flash the PIT file with TWRP.
Do you have Odin? Do you have a copy of your stock ROM, downloaded either from Sammobile or samsung updates? If not, you'll need to get them. You then flash the firmware through Odin WITHOUT the PIT file. This should restore your device to operating condition. Afterward, you will of course need to root the S4 and flash a copy of TWRP to be able to install a custom ROM.
Carrier is Airtel

Need help regarding which frimware to flash

I have s5 900F and i've installed sixperience rom and now i want to downgrade it to stock rom, Im in india and had purchased this phone from Hong Kong, dont have any idea about which frimware should i install.. I can flash the rom but please help me with the url about which firmware to install..
Thanks please respond as soon as possible
Device is facing network problem
Are you sure that you are running the G900F, make sure to boot into download mode to find the proper phone model.
Then find the latest firmware from sam mobile that supports your aforementioned phone number found on the download mode.
Download Odin, and flash away. Does not really matter what android version, just make sure your phone model number matches.
Reboot your phone and make sure to do a clear of cache and data wipe, just to avoid those bootloops.

Galaxy S5 G9006V

I have galaxy S5 with lollipop 5.0 showing model G900F under the battery sticker and in about device and other my phone info apps but when I switch to download mode it shows model G9006V. what is all this? what actually is my model. I tried to root using kingo pc file but it failed giving error "recovery is not seandroid". I recovered using samsung kies 3 now device is working but still can not go to recovery mode giving same error. When I try to update using device setting software update it gives error as "u have tried to modify ur OS in an un authorised way.
Hi!
Label in battery is the actual model. I think a wrong ROM was flashed.
Download from sammobile the right version ROM.
You can flash MM
Then flash TWRP recovery and flash superSUxxxxx.zip to root your phone

If wrong ROM were flashed it would not match with the lablel. I tried to flash the firmware from sammobile that matches with the label i.e. G900F but it failed. When I connect with Kies it shows G900F but while upgrading with Kies I have to write G9006V and S/N otherwise Kies says model is incorrect. I think its actually G9006V flashed with G900F but I am confused.
Samsung Knox app shows baseband and bootloader as, G9006VZNU1B0E3. PDA G900FXXU1P0EC. CSC G900F0JV1POF1

Did you try with Odin?
G9006V
I had the same problem. I had lollipop 5.0 international version, with all Google apps and all features. In "about phone" was info that is G900F. Every G900F root, or stock upgrade via Odin failed. What I've found out Is that only I can do is flash stock rom of G9006v, and that is only I can do. And I done it. But when I done it, I had only English and Chinese option for language. And I could not install any Google application, I did not had Play store. Everything from Google was blocked. In "about phone" now shows the info G9006v. I root it, install aptoide, but what I need is Google can enyone know what is the problem. Also I found out, when I searched for network and country to I can download stock rom is,in application Phone info *SAMSUNG* was showed that my phone is from UAE, xsg network, but stock ROM from sammobile didn't work. And now in same application is showed that my phone is from China, network " unicom"... WTF!? I worked with so many fones,I never saw anything like this.

Bricked S8 950F after Root and Twrp Odin Says fail

Hi everybody Guys I need some help think I gone crazy My S8 950f Get bootlooping in Samsung S8 logo with red letters above it says only oficial binaries allowed. Something like that. I go to Odin To restore it back to stock with stock firmware 8.0 and Odin says fail when start to flash boot IMG when I see this I almost start to cry and we'll I tried so many firmware and Any does seems to work Now I got Beautiful 350 bucks brick phone. Somebody know what it's happening?
In the download screen says sv firmware check fail Bootloader
(Sorry for my bad English I using Google translate)
Please help
donot worry its a soft brick.. flash twrp and as soon as odin say successful and phone turns off imediately prss bixby + power+vol up....it will take you to recovery....download a rom and flash it
Just a question, but did you put your device into download mode before trying to flash via Odin?
It´s like said soft bricked, so any official stock Rom should work with Odin.
No need to flash TWRP first as each official ROM comes with stock recovery and will overwrite TWRP anyway when flashing it. But you of course can give it a try. If you can´t flash a firmware for some reason, i would try a different one. The one you are having might be corrupted.

IMEI number lost after flashing ROM (no backup)

I know there might be another similar topic but I couldn't find any help so far.
Basically two days ago I flashed custom ROM on my phone, I didn't make any backup. At first it worked perfectly. I decided to flash ROM again and formated my phone and found out that EFS partition was lost. I didn't get any mobile data and my IMEI number was lost (0000000). I've read that IMEI is actually stored on some chip so is there any way to restore it back? My phone is Samsung Galaxy A5 2017. Any help will be appreciated.
Trying to flash latest stock rom from sammobile but after flashing it with odin it starts bootlooping and saying "no command" again and again. When holding power + home + volume up I can NOT access recovery. Any solutions, please?
Anyone? Is there any solutions for my problem??
Is it possible to downlaod EFS file for my phone and somehow change IMEI in the file?
just flash stock rom, i did on my galaxy ace i flashed custom rom and imei gone, after stock flashed via odin imei back.
Thanks for your answer! I tried indeed flashing latest stock rom from sammobile with latest odin. But when I bootet phone up it said "no command" with dead android logo and kept bootlooping. I can try different version of rom, maybe it helps.
Still my problem is unsolved. Any clues what to do would be great.
You probably flashed a wrong firmware which is not for your variant.
Can you remove your battery? If so remove it and put it back and enter download mode by pressing volume down,power and home button. Afterwards, find the firmware which is for the specific variant of the phone. Only get the "HOME_CSC" version or else you will lose all you data. In odin, if it says added, flash the stock firmware and see if it boots to the system. If you could give me your variant, I could help and give you an even more detailed guide.
