I bought a Galaxy s5 on Amazon a few years ago, and now I want to give it to my child. The phone is not rooted, and the current version of the OS is 5. I wanted to upgrade it to 6 (in order to install the family link app) but I have got an auth error in odin with several firmwares that I tried to install. I am now trying to find the exact model of the phone, but I am really confused:
On the one hand - on the sticker behind the battery it is written SM-G900F, this is also the model that I see in the phone's setting, the PDA version is G900FXXU1POEC, and the CSC version is G900FOJV1POF1.
On the other hand, the bootloader version is G9006VZNU1BOE3, this is also the baseband version, and when I entered into download mode the model of the phone is SM-G9006V
So what is the correct phone version? Which firmware should I download?

I don't have either variants you had mentioned myself but, it looks like you have the following SM-G900F device...
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5/firmware/SM-G900F/XSG/
... with the following firmware that was originally flashed.
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5/firmware/SM-G900F/XSG/download/G900FXXU1POEC/48069/
That's the original firmware before the firmware was changed to the SM-G9006V.
This was possible because the SM-G900F device is an international variant. The international variants comes with its Bootloader already unlocked.
I hoped that I had clarified this okay via text...
Good Luck!

I am not sure. I tried to install the firmware that you mentioned, but still got the fail (auth) error in odin. I checked my IMEI and it says that the phone model is Galaxy S5 G9006V.
What is this model?

I really can't elaborate much more than I did since I never had those variants myself.
Maybe @curiousrom can be more helpful since he's got the G900F variant too?

Stickers can be changed & users may install the wrong stuff on their S5.
The only way to know the truth about what is your S5 model is to turn off the phone & boot in Odin Mode (aka Download mode): press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons and confirm with Volume up to Continue.
What is the PRODUCT NAME that you can see after you accept the disclamer?
I mean like in the attach photo.
Then you can go to a site like https://www.sammobile.com/ and get the most recent Samsung firmware for your model which will also install the proper modem & bootloader (named aboot on the S5). See the Instructions (1 file) chapter in their download pages which applies to the S5.

Why not upgrade to Android 9.0 on which is based LineageOS 16.0 if your S5 model is compatible.
See S5 super clean install.

"SM-G9006V..." - Bad news. You got scammed like the user in this thread for example Galaxy S5 SM-G9006V Variant issues:
I hope someone can help me here as im struggling for the last 12 hours and im completely lost now.
So my gf bought a Galaxy S5 off of amazon a while back and according to the software, it had Stock Android 5.0 for G900F loaded on the phone.
When booting into Recovery(TWRP) it seems that it was infact a G9006V and not a G900F variant. So in short, someone was dishonest and sold a Chinese variant as an international Variant. {bold by me}

The only stock Samsung 6.0.1 that you can install on your SM-G9006V was made for China Unicom and it does not include the Google framework which is required to install Play Store & many apps thanks to the Great Firewall of China censorship policy: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5/firmware/SM-G9006V/
You can find other similar cases with this search: site:forum.xda-developers.com/ SM-G9006V
AFAIK you have 3 options:
Keep the phone as it is.
Try to find some modified Samsung 6.0.1 or other custom firmwares on XDA that would work on your SM-G9006V.
Do a full TWRP backup then update to the awesome LineageOS 16.0 as described here including updating TWRP (SM-G9006V compatible version) & the modem & bootloader for the SM-G9006V. The post includes links to pages explaining how to do that: S5 super clean install
Edit: I did no search very hard but could not find an Odin flashable modem & bootloader package for the SM-G9006V. So in that case installing the most recent stock Samsung 6.0.1 for SM-G9006V will update your modem/baseband to G9006VZNS1CRH1 + the bootloader then you flash TWRP then you can flash LineageOS + Open GApps (for the Play Store).
WARNING: Do NOT flash any bootloader not made specifically for the SM-G9006V.

So, from what I understand, do you recommend that I'll first download and flash the stock 6.01 for SM-G9006V, which is China unicorn, and then I'll install LineagaOS 16.0?

Yes because the fingerprint sensor will not work with your old Android 5.0 modem & bootloader in Android 9.0 on which LineageOS 16.0 is based besides probably giving you better network reception & better battery life.
But as described in S5 super clean install: stock Samsung firmware > with your SIM inserted make sure you get network signal & data then write down the APN settings: Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access point Names (and/or make some screenshots of it: volume down + Power buttons, should be saved in internal sdcard > DCIM > Screenshots). That's just in case you have a network access problem in LineageOS. > install TWRP using Odin3 (see Flashing TWRP Recovery on Samsung Firmware chapter) > Backup the EFS partition to the external Micro SD card using TWRP while still running the stock Samsung firmware > install LineageOS + Open GApps.
Just curious: could you make some screenshots of all the installed apps in the stock China S5 Samsung firmware please? You need to copy or move them to computer before installing LineageOS because they will be erased if you use Format Data in TWRP which is recommended.
Because you have less than 10 posts @ the present you can't post links or attach images as per XDA's rules I think. You can post anything in the XDA Off-topic forum until you reach 10 posts: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/off-topic which is preferable or upload them somewhere and post a broken link with spaces like https ://forum.xda-developers .com & we will understand.
BTW in LineageOS the screenshots are saved in internal sdcard > Pictures > Screenshots. APN: Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > expand Advanced > scroll all the way down to > Access Point Names (APN)… works on my Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0.
"...which is China unicorn" - Maybe they do have some unicorns in China but in this case it's China Unicom.

As long if you know your working APN settings. The reason is some network providers may not be in the LineageOS providers files or some providers do not like custom firmwares.
What is your network provider + country & do you have LTE on the status bar?
Tip: go to your XDA profile in this panel https://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editprofile and add info > Devices: Samsung Galaxy S5. > Additional Information > Service provider as it's useful for troubleshooting & it will show when clicking the arrow under the username in a browser. Also > City & Home country & then you will get a flag under your username which gives an international flavor to the XDA threads IMO.
Note: @postai you have to make a new EFS partition backup after updating to 6.0.1 as it will modify some files in that partition.

No because TWRP is flashed with Odin & Odin is a good that can do many things.
Then with an unlocked bootloader (which is the case for most S5 klte variants out-of-the-box including yours except for the SM-G900V) TWRP can flash a .zip firmware. Root is to do stuff while running in System.
I updated S5 super clean install with some stuff about root after flashing LineageOS.
You said in post #1 that the S5 was for your child. How old is he or she?

He is 12. I wanted to install Google family link before I am giving him the phone. However, this app does not work on Lollipop, thus I started the adventure of upgrading the OS (which turns out to be longer than I expected)

Yes after flashing TWRP on your S5 running Samsung stock 6.0.1 you can use it to restore a TWRP backup.
That feature is awesome as you can try different custom firmwares and quickly return to your current state.
If you don’t have a network problem restore only Boot (which is the kernel & not the S5's aboot - bootloader), System (Android OS) & Data (Apps) according to the principle: if it ain't broken, don't fix it as Samsung stock 6.0.1 will modify modem & EFS partition.

Just a small update: I finally succeeded to download the Chinese firmware to my PC, and installed it through Odin (this is the first firmware that didn't give me the "Auth" error).
All my apps are still there, but all Google apps (Play, Maps, YouTube, etc.) and Chrome are not working. I get an error message that they need to be updated, but when I try to resolve it nothing happens. I will now try to do a clean install of LineageOS.
I don't think I'll backup the current version, since I won't restore it anyway. If something goes wrong with the LineagaOS installation I'll try to use my current backup and restore the original Android 5.

That's the Great Firewall of China censorship policy in action.
I wonder how your other apps got restored as the Samsung Firmware should have wiped everything. Did your apps downloaded automatically after signing in a Google account? If so that's weird as you are saying that Play Store is disabled as expected.

Nothing will go wrong if you follow S5 super clean install.

The Samsung firmware didn't wipe everything. I even didn't have to sign-in again in a Google account.
However, it did change the recovery, so I had to reinstall TWRP. I will do the clean install of LineageOS and report back...
Another update: I followed the instructions and installed LineageOS successfully.
Everything went flawlessly, except for the launcher. I tried the first option, from Google, and I entered an endless loop of errors. The app keep crashing and tried to load itself again and again. Somehow I succeed to set the other launcher to be the default, I think the name is Trebuchet, and then everything worked.
I also installed Family link, and everything is working perfectly. Thanks curiousrom!

SM-G9287 will require PIT file and re-partition the phone. You better make sure to have the PIT file for the SM-G9280 before you do that (use the IMEI etc app to generate the PIT - Dr. Ketan file). I have not flashed anything other than the 9280 FW plus chainfire auto-root, then manual customization. I uploaded the pit file by changing the extension to .doc. Download and change back to .pit.
I haven't been able to verify the PIT, and haven't seen anyone else post it, so use at your own risk!

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.

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

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 ?

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?

Just flashed "lineage-14.1-20170227-UNOFFICIAL-trltetmo.zip" on my N910T, already installed root via TWRP, and restored my apps with TitaniumBU, and my phone keeps flashing error messages like: "com.android.phone has stopped" or "android.process.media keeps stoping", what can I do?
P.S. I come from a Note 7 6.0.1. ported rom, if that helps

Flash this in TWRP.
First, thanks tremendously guys for all this hard work you do for us so we can have the latest and greatest Android system.
Okay, so on to my issue. Last night I flashed cm-14.1-20161204-UNOFFICIAL-treltexx over my N910CXXS2DQB3_N910COLB2DPE3_THL sammobile stock, and as so many have posted, it looks quite nice, but the No SIM error is too big of an issue to use on my only device. This, of course, put me into many hours researching if there has been a fix to which I have found nothing definitive. As a decades-long user of XDA I came across this post showing trltetmo.zip (T-Mobile) Snapdragon, and the treltexx (Exynos) version by jef_00. Following the posted instructions to the letter, TWRP continues to return the error "this device is treltexx but the ROM is treltexx,tredl" and stops dead with error 1. As I live in Asia, we only get the Exynos Octa-core mobiles here, so every ROM update/change I've made represents the difference between the Americas and pretty much the rest of the world, so I know the correct Exynos ROM was used last night, and it pretty much ran for many hours giving only the No SIM issue. It did turn to molasses trying to get anything to do something, but I figured I'd work that part out in time.
So now I'm using ODIN to put sammobile's latest stock release N910CXXU2DQC2_N910COLB2DPE3_N910CXXU1DPE3_HOME.tar, then root it with TWRP as I've done for many years and will try jef_00's latest release lineage-14.1-20170507-UNOFFICIAL-trltexx in hopes it will recognize the Exynos version once again. If it does, I'll then use the Bootloader/Modem combo Bootloader+Modem_N910CXXS2DQA1_6.0.1 to see if it will recognize my SIM card and allow me to use my mobile phone again.
Have any of you noticed either your Snapdragon or Exynos recognizing the ROMs incorrectly? Additionally, did/does this Bootloader/Modem combo fix the SIM issue?
Thanks for anything you can tell me.
Regards,
Cole
Does anyone know of a sound mod that works well with this ROM? Every one that I flash either has no effect or stops people from being able to hear me on a phone call.
no way of getting magisk to work for snapchat access ?
Hi everybody !
I've got a N910F and flash the 20170605 version by ripee. Baseband : N910FXXS1DQD1
I'm coming from Samsung stock version.
I connect my phone to my car (Peugeot 208) via Bluetooth. My car doesn't display titles of song from Deezer or YouTube anymore.
It display just the name of the phone.
Does anyone have the same issue ? (streaming is working)

Flash gapps and the latest W8 bootloader and modem in my signature, for best signal stability. You can change trltetmo to trltecan in the build.prop if you want your apps to think your phone is in fact the W8 not the T, but it's hardly important.

What does creeper aroma extras do? Does it work with 910v? I'm trying to figure out how to get 4g working.
Click to expand...

They are a custom aroma gapps package for the Note 4 because the Open GApps aroma package doesn't work. Are you using hsbadr's lineage on your N910V? The latest build is kinda old which is why you may be having problems with 4G.
Any chance of getting official build version?
Issues with battery life
Hi! First of all, thanks to all developers, this wouldn't be possible without you, I've been using this rom quite a while, and it's amazing, just a few questions, the battery optimization isn't as great as I wish it would be, is there any kernel to increase battery life? If there's any i would be more than happy to try it, i've been in love with this rom, it's simply brilliant, Thanks for your support and your hard work... Cheers
Hello,
I just flashed LOS 14.1, works great!
I'm trying to update my modem (as recommended by ripee), but my baseband is n910w8vlu1dpe2. I did find a file for n910w8vlu1dpi2, but no 'PE2.
It's a SM-N910W8 from Rogers in Canada.
What modem firmware should I use?
Thanks!

I don't ask for ETAs and my intention is not to force any release but will officiall lineage OS for the Note 4 will come in general some day?
Hello
There is no international firmware for the Z17.
The vendors are putting custom ROMS with multilanguage with or without google services but they have a great inconvenience, you will not be able to receive updates by OTA.
Where to download the official Chinese firmware for the Nubia Z17?
How can it be installed? From SD, OTG ... through your recovery mode?

The official Chinese firmware can be downloaded here : http://ui.nubia.cn/rom/detail/42
For the installation, there is an upgrade guide in PDF format but you need a Nubia account to access it (and my Chinese knowledge is much worse than my English one)...
How can you tell that you've got a custom rom on it from the vendor?

Taken a look at the PDF file; basic steps 1) Backup information on phone 2)copy firmware zip file into the root directory of internal storage 3)update firmware 4)if there are problems, factory reset after update
Only step (3) looks a little different from other phones; basically you should go Settings - Privacy & Security - Select "Slide to unlock" to reset screen unlock to simple slide to unlock and then Settings - Firmware Update - Local Update - Select the zip file for the firmware you want to update to
Hope this helps.

Basically we should put the official firmware on for ota updates and the possibility that they may allow Google apps?
In my Rom there is nothing related to Firmware and/or Update.

In your firmware there are Google services? If yes, make backup pls your firmware
Ok, but how do I do it?
Booting into recovery also does not Show anything related to upgrade. Only one is called boot into edload.
And it says System is root - 1 and Boot is root - 1.

Well i checked. And i think it's impossible. Where did you buy phone? Or for which country
I bought it from cect-shop.com.
They told me that I have to wait for an international Rom from nubia, which would be APPLIED via a PC.
I do have Google Services on it. Some things are buggy.

Hey Thomas, i ordered my Phone from the cect-shop, too and it will arrive on July 11th.
Which version is your Z17? 6/64 or 6/128 ?
It is the 6/64 Version. The 8/128 was not available.
It is good Phone but needs time to get used to coming from Stock Android.
Cheers

It can only be downloaded if you have the extraction password, that it what Baidu is asking for.
You can find it also here (GeekBu...). It is the release 2.44. I didn't have a look "inside".
TLDR: Samsung N920F seems to be a N920T, and you can flush ROM from N920T.
Recently my friends asked to help them with their Galaxy Note 5 which was bought somewhere in China. It was stuck at Android 6, with last updates from 2016, and seemed to have some malware (factory reset did not help).
It was really strange to see model N920F - I checked many threads here, and everyone says that there should be no such version as N920F:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/note-5-n920f-n920t-t3310411

https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/note-5-european-version-sale-sm-n920f-t3190929
Unfortunately, not even one of those topics found any reason for this or solution for updating. So I tried to find out the true and update phone myself.
At first, I booted to recovery. And there I saw that it model name was nobleltetmo - same as for N920T.
So I tried to install TWRP from N920T via Odin. TWRP successfully installed but phone stopped booting and TWRP only booted but did not work - it told me about bootloader version mismatch. So I found out that phone's bootloader version was N920TUVU4DPK6. So I tried to find a working firmware for this bootloader version and found it on xda: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...eral/stock-n920t-stock-n920tuvu4dpk6-t3518252
Fortunately, I could enter download mode and flush it with Odin. After it, phone worked fine, and now it was officially N920T. But even better things awaited - after updating it managed to fetch fresh updates! So I downloaded and installed them. Phone updated... And found new updates... And about 10 times again like this. Finally, I got the latest official Samsung Firmware with Android 7.0 - and it works flawlessly. Even Googe Play, NFC and banking services. I suppose that after this I could flush TWRP again because bootloader version also updated - but official firmware was quite okay so I didn't want to set up Lineage OS.
By the way, I think that I could find latest firmware and flush it with Odin in one go - but I didn't succeed in finding it.
Please beware that this N920F turned to be N920T - but your one can be another (N920V or N920P, for example)!
Now I am pretty sure that F in model version stands for "F***ed up".
So check bootloader version and be accurate.
