Hello!
I have a quick question, I was searching around the web but still can't find how to identify the original ROM pre installed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
I know that my device was made in Canada because is the version SM N900W8. And I had installed a ROM that I downloaded from sammobile.(Information added in the attachment), I upgrade it manually to the Android Version 4.4.3 and didn't save the information of the original one and at this very moment I'm having an issue with the "Android: GPS - Continuous Scanning or Unable to Fix/Lock Location". I tried solutions as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612757 but as far as I know this is related directly with the ROM that I had currently installed. I tried searching with the IMEI on http://www.imei.info/ and http://swappa.com/ but nothing related directly with the original ROM. Probably I'm missing some information regardless with the carrier that was made for, I'm currently located in Bogotá, Colombia.
Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app and check for the 'Original CSC Code' in the CSC INFO section.
If that doesn't help, I will show you another solution.

Thank you so much for the reply. Great application +5 recommended. But it only shows me the information that I currently have installed (Trinidad y Tobago ROM) [Information Attached]- It had pre installed some ROM for a Canadian carrier, but for mistake I didn't save the information of it. What is the alternative method to double check what was the original one?
What you want, definitely can't be seen.
You can only see the version of the current installed rom.
Sent from my N9005
Well, I work for HTC and in the tool that we use here. That is possible, it shows you all the information about the device. Baseband, rom version, date of installation, kernel source, lenght of download OTA. I tried to contact Samsung with out any good response for security policies.

It depends on how you installed the rom. Sometimes the Original CSC remains and can be obtained with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.
Ok try another way: install Kies, connect your phone to PC, go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, enter your Model name, then S/N. Kies will show you original firmware information.
Thank you! Question Resolved.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate this. That was the information that I was looking for, now I know that my device is not from Canada, it was TELCEL Mexico, by the way is the same variant of the note 3 on Canada. :fingers-crossed::good: Now I hope I can fix the glitch with the GPS. (with the original ROM). I'm hoping now if the SIM unlock will remain if I do the forware upgrade and initialization from Kies.
phone info app
best way to know is install Phone Info App from playstore....it will give you complete details
Download mode shows your original Country code, no matter what CSC you flash
Turn off your phone, then press Volume Down + Bixby Button + Power button once for 4 seconds.
A blue screen will appear saying that do not flash non original firmware, press Volume Up.
A screen will come up saying at the top "ODIN MODE".
In this screen, you have some information about your device, but the one that we are intrested is a red line "CARRIER_ID: XXX"
That ID is your CSC code, no matter what firmware you install it on. Mine is PAN - the original - even though i currently have DBT installed.
and just press Volume Down + Power key for 7 seconds to restart to normal mode.
Your post is five years after question but more than that it does not apply to Note 3 .
hello, i am from India. I recently bought a new Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos. FEW DAYS AGO (ABOUT 2-3 DAYS) i updated it to latest version over OTA. I tried to root it by CF Auto root but something broke and it transferred my device in bootloop so i downloaded and flashed a stock rom G935FXXU1APB6_G935FOLB1APB6_XSP_FULL using Odin. My device started but i figured out that the rom is Singaporian version and its a March upgrade and i could not update it also. I am also having wifi connectivity issues. My old rom was perfect. It was preinstalled by Company. Please help me or please give me a link of my model's official stock rom rather than Sammobile ( i tried sammobile but my connection refuses and also speed too low )

Download and install USB drivers for Samsung Galaxy S7 edge in your computer.
Make sure to take backup of any important files on your smartphone.
Enable USB debugging option by pressing Menu > Settings > Applications. Navigate and tap on Developer Options to ensure that USB Debugging is enabled.
Ensure that your Galaxy S7 edge carries more than 70% of charge.
Highly Credible Leak Points At Early Samsung Galaxy S7 Launch Date
Unzip Odin on your computer and install it.
Unzip firmware zip file in the same folder as Odin.
Switch your Samsung Galaxy S7 edge off and boot it in Download mode: press and hold Volume Down and Power together and then press the Home key. OR, check how to enter Download Mode.
Open Odin and connect your smartphone with your computer. When connected successfully, one of the ID:COM boxes will turn yellow with the COM port number after a while. (In case you don’t get it, try another USB port. If that doesn’t help either, then re-install USB drivers).
On your Odin, select files:
Click on AP and select file with AP in its name.
Click on CP and select file with MODEM in its name – ignore if you didn’t get any such file.
Click on CSC and select file with CSC in its name – ignore if you didn’t get any such file.
Click on PIT and select the. pit file – ignore if you didn’t get any such file.
Click on BL and select file with BL in its name – ignore if there is no such file.
Make sure to check Auto Reboot and F.Rest Time. Check Re-Partition only if you selected the. pit file.
Click on Start to initiate the update process.
When Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update installation is successfully completed, you will get a PASS message.
I don't know if factory reset is necessary after flash, but I did it, just in case. I attached Odin which I used.

Unless you know what you are doing and about files source/files you are flashing, then not much.. but if you are not sure, then Smart Switch can download official f/w for your specific model & flash it for you.. simplest, no brainer to recover to official f/w.

Hi
I have G935FD device, which I recently bought (the second hand one).
I notice that I have issue with GPRS data transfer... it looks like, from time to time when GPRS is active SMS sending is not possible any more (up to next power OFF of device) .
At that time I'm able to see only one GPRS range indicator.
I'm able to receive calls from both SIM cards.
I did not check am I able to call from both of them.
According to my google investigations issue is pressent in Android 6.0, which I have right now.
Case shall be easy, I need to update to Nugat verision and it is all , but...
1) If I'll check firmware update on my mobile I have inforamtion that it is the latest version of firmware G935FXXU1APD1// G935FXXU1APB6. what is not true
2) I started to looking for official Android 7.0 version. to get it, I have to have CSC code. Phone info application have cleared out all CSC code. *#1234# don't work - "error message connection error or wrong MMI code".
Device type is hero2lte
Product name is hero2ltexx
Product code is SM-G935FZSU - this looks like oryginal information .
Bootloader : G935FXXU1APB6
PDA Version: G935FXXU1APD1

CSC Version :
Kernel Version

Does any one know what can be the oryginal CSC code for such device?
Can you tell me where can I find oryginal Android 7.0 which will works fine in Poland ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi
Below information for anyone who have the same issue as I.
I download the newest official ROM for Android 7.0 for Poland (G935FXXS1DQHI).
I used ROM for single sim, not dual sim.
Since that I don't have any issue with SMS or GPRS any more.
MMI codes started to work back.
I still have dual sim .
Simple , now it works better !!
I got a used GT-935T phone very recently in India, which was still running android 6.0. On browsing these forums, I found out that we could flash stock rom on it without rooting, so I did so using Odin. I flashed the stock rom of Android 7.0 for t-mobile 935T, which was what my phone was supposed to be.
On further browsing, I also discovered, that we could flash any stock rom on the phone, irrespective of the region. So I decided to download the latest stock rom for India 935fd. I did so, but whenever I'm trying to flash it using Odin, I'm getting an error - repartition failed.
I've not checkd the repartition option.
can someone help me?

Hello everyone..
I have the problem with updating software. Right now on my phone is 4.4.4. and I would like to update the software to the latest official. Through Software Update option on phone it says "Unable to download software", and through KIES that this is the latest software. Can you tell me what should I do to update sw through ODIN? Should I firstly root the phone, and in case I need, can you give me the links to all files, and for root and for sw?
heres the sw version https://postimg.org/image/q2hd7sb5h/
You don't necessarily need root to flash the latest software. I would however, flash a custom recovery to backup your data just in case.
You will lose all your data if you decide to flash marshmallow onto your phone through odin.
To flash it, download marshmallow from https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-N910F/
Select the appropriate firmware and download it, it'll take about 8 hours to download it, you can't really get a faster download anywhere else sadly.
Download Samsung USB drivers from https://androidmtk.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers
Once downloaded, open up odin and click on "AP", select the firmware you just downloaded.
Boot up your device in download mode Power + Vol Down + Home
Plug it in, and let ODIN recognize your device
Simply click on start and wait for to complete. You'll know it's complete when you'll see a green "pass" on the top left.
You now have marshmallow!
Okay, now i see that software depends from region. Actually, phone was buyed on aliexpress, does i need to know for which country the phone was intended or i should just download the software for country i am living?

It shouldn't really matter, just select the snapdragon software if your phone uses a snapdragon processor.

yes, agree with earlier reply...
you don't need to follow region. just download based on your phone model (I saw is N910F from your screenshot)....
choose the latest for N910F. and you are good to go.
but, my personal reference is......
choose the one without the provider....
because the one with the provider (e.g : Poland (Orange))... this one will give you the telco provider apps as well, which might not use for you.
Remember to backup your contact, your whatsapp, your sms, or whatever u need to backup.
Cheers,
WJ

As you said, I have done.. Everything went fine, now im running marshmallow.. Just the downloading from samsung-firmware was so boooooring. I couldnt wait so ive paid 7days membership, and even then, only from mirrored link was possible do download correctly. Via first link, two times downloaded only 1gb and then interrupted. However, now when it is finished im pleased with the performance.
P.S. Can you direct me to any links where is described GPS hardware on note 4? I am pretty sure I have some hardware failure with gps. With both software, and kitkat and marshmallow, GPS programs shows only 10-15 visible satellites, but none in use (Used to wait and to 20minutes to connect, no results).

I'm not sure if this will help at all, i've never had this issue but there seems to be a few solutions on this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote...e_4_gps_problems_possible_solution_helped_me/
I bought Samsung Galaxy S4 in 2013 back when it was a flagship device, it came installed with Android Jellybean, almost 4 years have passed and it is still stuck at Jellybean. Since then, it didn't got a single update.
I'm not sure what is the latest update for S4 because the updates pushed by Samsung never reach my phone and that is because of baseband version. Other S4's have got quite a few updates till now. In fact, I updated my friend's S4 to Lollipop and my own S4 is stuck at Jellybean.
I visited Samsung website and found that they release updates only for some baseband versions of S4 and that list didn't contain the baseband version of my S4 so it is forever stuck at 4.2.2. Samsung Customer Care says go to service center, they will update your phone manually. I said why should I when I got a flagship phone, it should get updates OTA.
Because my S4 didn't get any update, the same thing must have happened with many other ones and will probably happen with S8 due to launch in 2017. Many of those S8s will never receive any single update.
So is it possible that baseband version can be changed and I switch to the one that gets update? There is always an option to flash a custom ROM but if I get an official update to Lollipop, I will be happy.
Before the Samsung update reaches your phone it has to pass through the carrier's hands first, where they add their crappy bloat.
In other words, if there's no update, then it's probably your carrier's fault.
You could update manually with Odin.

I am from India so no system of carrier here.
Umm, you guys in India have cellular networks. Those are the aforementioned carriers. They may not add any bloat, but they do have to test the updates first before releasing them to the devices. This is to ensure the update doesn't cause unwanted problems on the network. However, we're heading into 2017, and after all this time you should have received an update to Android 5.0.1. So let's verify that you have a model intended for India. Please enter download mode and read off the model number at the top left corner of the screen.
Changing the baseband will not automatically get you a ROM update. If you want an updated ROM for your phone, I suggest updating to the latest bootloader and modem, flash TWRP, and then flash a custom ROM.

Here is the correct firmware version of my device: sammobile.com/firmwares/download/14242/I9500XXUAMDK_I9500ODDAMDK_INU
Sam Mobile is not displaying Android version, if you look at sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9500/INU, my device PDA and CSC versions are second from last. But if you look at other S4s in the same list, most of them got Android 5.0.1 so can't I just download any one of them and flash it using Odin?
You're looking on the wrong page. Individual ROM pages do not display the Android version, but the full list does, where that information is applicable. In your case, the ROM you linked to doesn't have a version number, but also happens to be the ROM originally on the device, based upon the PDA and CSC. Check here. Not only does it tell you the version, but tells you the date it was posted. The one you want will be at the top of the list, as it's the latest available for your device.

I also posted the same link as yours, just scroll to the very bottom, there are 2 entries that doesn't display the Android version and one of them is mine - second from last. The PDA and CSC matches my device.
PDA - I9500XXUAMDK
CSC - I9500ODDAMDK
Well, you might want to reread my post, as I edited it while you were typing.
Anyway, in post 6, this is the link you provided: sammobile.com/firmwares/download/14242/I9500XXUAMDK_I9500ODDAMDK_INU
This is mine: sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9500/INU/
Big difference.
The link you provided takes you directly to that particular ROM. The link I provided takes you to every ROM available for that device using the CSC of INU. Based upon your opening post, you're looking to update to the latest ROM. However, you are getting hung up because the ROM you currently have on your device doesn't have a date. It doesn't matter how old your ROM is! The latest version for your device will always be at the top of the database page, i.e. the link I provided in post 7. Thus, as of this moment, the ROM you want is here. Download it, flash it via Odin, and you're done.

Thanks! By the way, I did post 2 links, it's just that because I don't have a total of 10 posts, I can't post link so the second link(in plain text) isn't easily spotable but it is there and it is same as yours. Check after "Sam Mobile is not displaying Android version"
Obvious link was not obvious. You're right.

I've downloaded firmware from the link you provided, flashed it via ODIN and now my S4 is successfully running 5.0.1, thanks a lot! Need one more help from you - I didn't perform factory reset, I directly flashed the firmware and now only 2 things have changed on my phone - root status and android version. Root is now gone and that's what I wanted, Android version has also changed but all my files, data and apps are same; no single app got deleted, all are exactly same as before so do I need to perform a factory reset and wipe cache?
If you haven't encountered any bugs or app crashes, I don't think a factory reset is needed.
Hi guys,
So I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I have swapped out my s8 motherboard and the other died. Everything works fine apart from the fact it's on android 7 and every time I check for updates I get the message that the system is currently up to date.
The baseband is g950fxxu1aqc1
And the build number is nrd90m.g950fxxu1aqc1
I'm trying to find what version I can use to update to Android pie 9.
Any.help would be greatly appreciated

If you can't update though software update then you can update through Odin software( PC app ) or by using smart switch app ( PC app )
You can also get firmware through website like sammobile or updato - slow download though
Other choice's are through PC apps like Samfirm or Frija - quicker downloads.

Yeah I've Looked on the Sammobile site I was unable to find the baseband version on there so was sure of which version to download and install on to the phone.
Thanks

Samsung being Samsung the bootloader/binary ( baseband ) number tends to increase. So if you want the latest firmware the number will be higher than what your is on your phone.ie :nougat to pie
Note: Increasing your baseband number you will not be able to downgrade your firmware version baseband number.

If you want to upgrade yes.
Another note if you are locked to a carrier flashing different firmware will not unlock you from that carrier.
