Or direct from LG's Servers using: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Replace XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with your own IMEI (Which can be found by dialing *#06* in Dialer)
This is all I get. D850 ATT.

you mean someone set up lg-firmwares-check-today .com or lg-g3-firmware .com for the sole purpose of harvesting live IMEI codes???
I get an error. And my device is a D855AR -Argentina version of the D855-...
Unlocked bought from a retailer........ so...
Just use the method from post #2, it connects directly to LG's servers. Can't be safer.

<response req_cmd="auth_model_check" status="FAIL"/>
Well make sure you type your IMEI correctly. I am sure you already checked a few times but eh, it's strange that it doesn't work for you.
I have the same model MasterTB and firmware that gives me the page is D855AR10C_00, it came from the factory.

Well send him the link you got when you check with your IMEI. (The one that end with .kdz)
10C is pretty "old", looks like LG doesn't like Argentina

mi dispositivo lg g3 d855p el imei aparece en 0 ayuda por favor
Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find the stock firmware for the SM-G530T1? I've looked and have not been able to find it.
Edit: It would be possible to get the firmware using the IMEI number in SmartSwitch. Unfortunately I and another are unable to access our IMEI number from the settings in the phone since our phones are bricked. We'll need someone else with the phone to take care of that. It would be tremendously appreciated!

No, I don't see a serial number anywhere on the phone

the imei serves as the serial number i believe but smartswitch wont have any of it lol. ill play the waiting game for some stock firmware now. trying to flash g530t firmware bricked the device.
@Yu_San @silentgumm
If we have a working SM-G530T1 we can get the IMEI from the phone and then use the Smartswitch to get the firmware....

I can go to a Samsung service center to reflash it, but i would like to have the firmware...
Google settings- imei #
I looked up how to get your imei # without going into your phone & it says that all you have to do to get it is to go to google settings & go into your android devices and itll pop up all the android devices that are connected to your gmail & there should be a list & the imei #s should be there too.

I'll see if that works. Thank you for the info.
Edit: Okay, I've got some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that I found my IMEI number using the method described by Eker. Also, the IMEI number is on the sticker behind the battery but it doesn't say it's the IMEI number, so now we know that. It's the number above the long bar code with the slashes in it.
The bad news is that SmartSwitch says the device is unsupported and when picking "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization" from the "MORE" menu at the top, nothing appears in the first tab and in the second tab, entering the phone model (SM-G530T1) brings up a new box asking for a serial number. I entered the IMEI number (with and without the slashes) but it says the serial number entered is not corrected. Same thing using Samsung Kies 2 & 3.
I don't know what to do

Damn, that sucks. I mean, that's not totally bad. It would just be better to get the firmware and do it ourselves. That way we can post the firmware here and other people who can't or don't want to go in to a service center can do it themselves. Hmmm...

Just chatted with someone from Samsung and they said the firmware will not be available online. I'm not sure if they ever officially provide firmware to begin with though, so that may or may not be news. I guess the only way to get it is if someone else unofficially provides it...

Ah, okay. I didn't know that XD I never really thought about it. Knowing that now, I wonder how we're going to get it. I mean, if Kies or Smart Switch won't recognize the SM-G530T1... how will someone be able to get the firmware? Unless they update either one or both of them to be able to recognize our device. I guess that's the only way... Interesting. I guess we'll have to play the waiting game.

Even with serial number it wont be possible, smart switch just closes with serial number. Looks like samsung doesn't support smart switch recovery for this device.

I've rooted / flashed roms onto HTC and Samsung devices before but I'm pretty lost with this one...
My model number: ALE-L23
My build number: ALE-L23C605B140
I have two simple(?) goals.
- get root access
- install a custom rom
Which threads should I be looking at to make sure they are compatible with my device? Any help or insight into this is greatly appreciated.
Seems like I am not the only one.... Can you check your vendor & country code? My build # (B044) is even older than yours.
As for ROOT, I come across this but I haven't try

Hi, whatid. I don't know where I can check this. I don't see anything like it in the "About Phone" section of settings. How do you know that the threads about custom roms and rooting here on XDA don't apply to our phone model/version?

the vendor and country code can be seen by going to the dialer and pressing *#*#2846579#*#*
you can try this method. its a standard root methode that works without changing or unlocking bootloader altough you're gonna need it if you want a custom rom wich are not available yet.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to know if is possible to use the SM-G935A model in Europe? I know that USA models are using differend network frequencies so I was not sure...
Also how can I check and know for sure if the phone is carrier locked, and if it is, is there any way to unlock it here in Bosnia?
Should be fine but check what frequencies your network uses and then compare

It supports Band 3, 7 and 20, commonly used for LTE in the UK and Europe.
It also supports both 2G and 3G on all networks in Bosnia.
Since all countries in the EU use the same LTE bands, it'll work everywhere.
Thank you both for the replies.
Which site is recomended for carrier unlock, I have found cellularunlocker (dot)net but I am not sure if it is reliable and safe to use? It costs 25$
I am sorry if this is not allowed to ask on the forums.

Hello, thank you very much. I will try it and I am familiar with flashing roms, so I will use ODIN to flash a stock ROM which is rebranded. But could you be a little more specific about the partition file, as where I can find them and how to flash it?
Is there a risk of bricking the phone?

Don't know if there are any, but you'll have to find the newest SM-G935A ROM with a PIT file, apparently that removes the network lock.
If you're still hesitant to flash, you'll have to find a reputable cell phone unlock code website. Not sure about them since I've never needed to use one.

I just got a new phone brought from abroad..... Is there any chance it's a clone? Is there any method to check for the authenticity or verification method ensure that my phone is a genuine product? Please help... Thanks in advance.......
Go to your dialer and type *#06# to get your imei number then go to swappa.com/esn to check the imei. That will show you imei status and also the model of the phone. If it is a real 6T it should show up as such.
Check to see if you have any OTA updates. What version firmware are you on?
