G900FXXU2BOK5 Firmware

HI!
I have searched high and low for what this firmware is and how i can upgrade from it, basically the phone is next to unusable (the screen will go black but the phone can still be used, yes I've checked the accessibility section!) I'm hopinh a firmware upgrade will rectify this phone but any firmware I try to install fails!
Any helps will be gratefully appreciated!

I looked into this and it looks like you may have Product Code SM-G900FZBAO2U which is the UK brand S5.
As far as the "G900FXXU2BOK5" Firmware your looking for... It doesn't exist.
Your a bit off on the Firmware for that device. It should be "G900FXXU1BOK5" because there's no "U2" there's only "U1".
Unfortunately there's no download for the G900FXXU1BOK5 because it's one that came with the device. This is also an S5 with an unlockable bootloader.
Now i can go into lengthy details but, i found a handful of links that will help you to recover your device.
Take a look at the following links and read them through to figure out your course of action. I also provided some informational links too.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'm going to work through the links you sent, however I do want to make it clear that the Firmware version i posted is correct, it is what is displayed in the build section of the phone. Another curiosity is in the Recovery mode it states the model is G900V, not G900F as is stated under the battery, is this normal?

Okay... I'll explain a touch more...
The first 5 digits identifies the actual model as G900F and, based on what you had stated, tells me that it it was originally a G900F with the G900V Firmware installed.
Someone had unlocked the international UK and installed the Verizon US firmware. This can be done only with the international S5.
One of the links i had provided you (i believe the sammobile forum link) states this too.
I hope i had explained it okay via text...
EDIT: In addition, when installing the G900V on a G900F, the G900V doesn't change the Baseband version which is G900F. That's why there's 2 different device models being reflected in 2 separate locations.

Rooting SM-G900L (I?) -

Hello everyone,
I've got a Samsung SM-G900L (or I?) that I want to root and run a different ROM on.
Just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of the right guide, there seems to be so many different variants of this phone.
Unfortunately my charge cover broke and now every half a second it keeps bringing up a warning interupting what ever I'm doing saying the charge cover is open, so I'd like to root the phone and run a different ROM.
Whats the latest and greatest ROM for these phones that people like?
Thanks

How can i get to edit the APN's of a XT1766 with a this current rom NCQS26.69-64-2?

Hello guys,
I think the question is very clear but I'll elaborate anyways.
I bought the Moto E4 for my wife this week because I read that this phone features the LTE band number 3 (1800) and that's the LTE band that her company uses to provide LTE services, however we just updated the phone OTA just the day we bought it and after updating it we noticed that the phone didn't get LTE, after some research I learned that allegedly, those 2 updates we did just after booting the device may have been designed specifically to stop us from editing the APN's witch I now need to edit in order to properly configure the phone to work with her current company...
So I need your help, any ideas how can I fix this? (I'm not noob, I just can't find not a single thread here talking about a phone with this specific firmware NCQS26.69-64-2 the phone has installed and I'm worried that If I flash to the phone this software SPERRY_SPRINT_NCQ26.69-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip I may soft-hard-brick it because I'm uncertain that that software is meant to work in this phone and also worried that that software won't allow me to edit the APN's how I need to get LTE working)
So I live in a 3rd world country where the internet sucks and I have to let the 1.6 file downloading all night long to flash it tomorrow, I intend to flash the firmware but I'll be happy to see any response on you guys before that time comes.
Thanks in advance for any help on this subject, I have been away from this community for a long time but I'm a fan of your work here fellas.

I have seen some say that downgrading will hard brick after the most recent update. So I wouldn't do it. There is a thread here about creating a custom stock update package by replacing some of the .img files in the new update with ones from the older one that may help. I'll try to find the link. You may have to use different files as the post came here before the latest update.

Problems with switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data

Hi all,
I installed the following ROM on my S5: [ROM] [Unofficial] [7.1.2_r36] RR-N 5.8.5 [klte + variants] [05-06-18 Security Patch Level] My Internet has dropouts. For example: I surf on Facebook, and my phone is moving from mobile data to Wi-Fi, or backwards, it suddenly stops loading the page. I want to kill the app and reload it, then it will work again. Only closing does not help. It does not matter if it's in an app or through the browser.
The same problem exists with the official RR 7.1.2.
Is there perhaps a problem with the baseband version?
I currently have this: G900FXXU1CPJ1
Sorry about my bad english.
Best regards

It looks like your specific Modem Firmware is out of date...
With BTU being United Kingdom, you will need to locate the latest version for your device.
I don't have this specific variant but, your question did look like this may have been the case.
You may have to search around for the most recent Modem Firmware for your specific device Firmware.

I only responded to help highlight this possibility of the Firmware Modem Update that typically resolves these types of issues.
The only thing that I can think of is it being specific to either the Firmware ROM or some type of customization that may be conflicting with the operation of the Modem (the Modem controls the WiFi and the Provider Connection to the Towers).
Sometimes a very small change to something like a setting that you would never think would even affect this just may be the Culprit.

Galaxy s5 straight talk issues.

Hello, I have a galaxy S5 straight talk phone.
I used 14.x of lineage with no issues.
I have updated to 15.1 and everything works but I have the following problems.
Loses service (I can actually see my apns disappear)
"Roaming indicator off" is displayed (no way to turn off)
Bluetooth crashes constantly.
Rebooting fixes service drop and Bluetooth but only for a little while.
I tried to find a newer modem as stock is 4.x Android
I tried regular galaxy S5 modems and refuses to flash it always fails auth. (Would love to update finally as it's old.)
I have tried to find fixes but nothing so far. If anyone has a fix please let me know. I love the new version and would hate to go back.
Oh also I have done a fresh flash (deleted everything and flashed so no dirty)
Posted in questions and answers as well but looked like thread was dead (not trying to double post)

I don't have this variant but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Official LineageOS 15.1 thread that's specific to the klte.

I've never had this variant and I've never done this before myself...
My first instinct is to strongly suggest that you don't try it and might result in a Soft/Hard Brick.
I would even think that this would be blocked in Odin with a "SW REV CHECK" Fail since this is the way Odin checks to see if what your flashing is for your device.
With that guidance...
I do see some chat regarding this exact question your asking on the following thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3580168
It looks like some has successfully performed this as well.
I would think that this conversation would probably be best continued on that thread for guidance since it has members who are much more familiar with your specific device.
I do wish you the best of luck with this!

Thank you. The reason I want to do this is my modem is from 4.x android which is ancient now and also I have los 15.1 and its constantly losing service ,WiFi,Bluetooth every few minutes. I was trying to find 14.1 los but its not available anymore and all links I find eventually go back to the website that has it removed.

I had just provided some important information to another member on the following thread post...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=77837824
... where the member has the same device as yours with the G900V Firmware installed and just cannot update the Modem.
That post that I just placed is important for you to remember regarding the Baseband Modem between the two.
Just some final thoughts...
Good Luck!

S5 LineageOS16 encryption
Hey!
I installed LineageOS 16.0.1 on my SM-900F and I can't encrypt the device. Phone just reboots.
Also "Trust" is telling me that SELinux is not enforced and I cant seem to find any settings relating to SELinux. Should I just turn off the notification or what?
Obviously I like my device to be secured as much as possible.
Any tips for where to look, please?
