Update SM-G900F to 5.0

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!

No network

Hi everybody,
Here is my problem, suddenly my S6 edge did not want to connect to the SFR network or any other, so I sent in warranty but this diagnostic software problem and I am returning due to oxidation (he never touched the water, can be steam).
After that we returned to me in Binary Factory, with no more firmware on the device. In this mode, which is useful only for testing, it was connecting well SFR network.
Then blocked with my phone so I installed the following ROM: G925FXXU3COI9 France (XEF) - Android 5.1.1 Lollipop - (September 2015).
I can finally refill my phone but no different, he still wants more connect to the network ...
If it helps you Phone Info tells me this:
Manufacturer / Brand: Samsung

production date: 2015.10.13
Version date: Fri September 25 2015 4:06:47 p.m. KST
CSC original name: TPH
Name of the current CSC: TPH
Product code: SM-G925FZKATPH
bootloader version: G925FXXU3COI9
baseband version: G925FXXU3COI9
PDA version of: G925FXXU3COI9
version of the SCC: G925FOXX3COJ1
android Version: 5.1.1
hardware / installed: samsungexynos7420 / universal7420 [64-bit]
mobile operator: 20801
So I tried the recovery mode:
wipe cache partition
data / factory reset
reboot your device
And finally my IMEI is the same as the original one.
If anyone could help me.
Thank you guys.

If you cant get internet connection, it also could be related with your carrier provider's apn settings and etc. too~ I hope you already set them properly.
BTW this is S6 Edge Plus (G928*) forum fyi

Oh sorry for the mistake,
By the way I already set up apn settings properly and it still doesn't work after that.

Use any unbranded firmware mate, UK for example. By unbranded I mean try those which don't come with any carrier labelling, you know like O2 etc.

Yes, unless EE is a carrier name it should be unbranded.

Installing the EE firmware will also install EE's own remote phone locking software in the persdata partition (Which is a real pain to remove as it will keep coming back even if you flash a non EE firmware) as well as EE's bloatware.
Use the BTU firmware for a clean unbranded phone.

Thank you for the valuable insight. Its a good thing since I have delayed the downgrade.

Need help with csc after flashing firmware

Ok so I recently got a Unlocked Galaxy S7 edge (SM-G935FSZL) I thought that it was just a SM-G935F but using 'Phone info' I get the extra szl. On to my dilemma, I was attempting root when I soft bricked my phone into a bootloop. I flashed a firmware which I thought was from the U.K waited for a bit then rooted successfully and everything has been fine or so I thought. I noticed it changed from LTE to 4g after flashing the firmware, I didn't pay it any mind. But now my speeds are extremely slow unless Im outdoors which was NOT happening before. I cant seem to connect to a galaxy vr device that was given to me brand new. And I dont have any CSC, Im guessing thats where my problem lies? I would love any help and advice to fix this and get my phone back up and running how it should be. I will give as much info as possible. I'm in the United States and T-Mobile is my carrier.

Need Help!! S7 Edge on ATT Mexico (G935F) can't be unlocked.

Hello, guys.
I really need your help on this.
I bought a S7 Edge (G935F) with ATT Mexico in 2016, 2-years contract. The contract ended this march. and i already have the unlock code.
According to the instructions from ATT, all i need to do is do a factory reset, insert the SIM card i want to use, and input the unlock code.
But the problem is, i flashed the official UK ROM (G935FXXS2DRC3_G935FOXA2DRB1_BTU), which i downloaded from SamMobile, onto the device back in 2017 in order to update to Android Nougat.
And now when i insert the new SIM card (non-ATT), the phone just doesn't show the page where i am supposed to input the code. It simply doesn't have service.
I downloaded the official ROM for ATT Mexico from SamMobile, and tried to flash it.
The Nougat ROM for ATT MEXICO (G935FXXU1DQL7_G935FUWE1DQL7_IUS) was installed successfully, but still, no place to input the unlock code, simply no service. Even IMEI, IMEISV and the baseband version are not recognized. Weird.
The Marshmallow ROM for ATT MEXICO (G935FXXU1APER_G935FBUS1APER_IUS) simply couldn't be installed successfully. I got stuck on the start screen after the flash and couldn't even boot into the system.
UK Nougat ROM (G935FXXS2DRC3_G935FOXA2DRB1_BTU):
AP_G935FXXS2DRC3
BL_G935FXXS2DRC3
CP_G935FXXU2DRB6
CSC_OXA_G935FOXA2DRB1
HOME_CSC_OXA_G935FOXA2DRB1
ATT Mexico Nougat ROM (G935FXXU1DQL7_G935FUWE1DQL7_IUS):
AP_G935FXXU1DQL7
BL_G935FXXU1DQL7
CP_G935FXXU1DQL7
CSC_UWE_G935FUWE1DQL7
HOME_CSC_UWE_G935FUWE1DQL7
ATT Mexico Marshmallow ROM (G935FXXU1APER_G935FBUS1APER_IUS):
AP_G935FXXU1APER
BL_G935FXXU1APER
CP_G935FXXU1APEQ
CSC_BUS_G935FBUS1APER
HOME_CSC_BUS_G935FBUS1APER
And here is the phone's info after i flashed the ATT Mexico Nougat ROM:
CSC Code of the firmware: IUS, which means ATT Mexico
Active CSC Code: IUS, which means ATT MG935FXXexico
Product Code: Blank
Original CSC Code: Blank
CSC Country: Mexico
Bootloader: G935FXXS2DRC3
PDA Version: G935FXXU1DQL7
CSC Version: G935FUWE1DQL7
Baseband Version: Blank
(Got these info through the application "Phone Info Samsung")
I noticed the phone's bootloader is still the same as the bootloader of the UK Nougat ROM even after i flash the ATT Nougat ROM, which i think probably is the main cause of the problem.
I also tried to flash the bootloader of the ATT Mexico Nougat ROM, and Odin always gave me "FAIL (error 1892)".
Another thing is, after the flash, when i check the CSC info from the application "Phone Info Samsung", it shows the CSC is IUS, but when i boot into Recovery, on the bottom, it says, "Applied the CSC-code: BTU. Successfully applied multi-CSC."
And FRP Lock is already off.
I really need your help on this issue. Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
Love and Peace.
Daniel.

it's my pleasure to help you out
