Your post makes no sense. You're asking about a950u which is us model. Your pic is of a 950f European model.

yes, but that's the fact, on the pcb it says g950u, and the chipset is detected on PC qualcom, but the cellphone information says g950f and when dial * # 1234 # shows the results like this

but if I use the dial code * # 12580 * 369 # it will address the results like this

then when I use the 'phone info' application the results are like this

So its a950 u. With 950f stuff on it. Probably unlocked and setup to run on a international carrier. The bootloader version of the important one. And what i would go off of

and this test results from 'miracle thunder' addressed the results as shown below

like this

I blinked using the G950u and G950u1 all failed, luckily my cellphone didn't bootloop,

I dont really know. Some one had it customized to a non us carrier. So other than downloading the latest firmware you can find on sam mobile and try but it may mess with what ever carrier its setup to use

This firmware don't exist. It's better know what CSC you own and flash the correct firmware for your device. Installing this APP you can know your CSC. Add some screenshot if you need more help :fingers-crossed:
screenshot
Hi I've attached the screenshot but I have no idea what it means. I have already flashed it to AT&T in USA and it is not enabling me to use the Sim card that was previously working in it. I know how to flash it but I just don't know what firmware I should be using and where to find it. Thanks for any help in advance.
Do you have the original box? If so, you should find the full model number on a label. It will say GT-I9500ZKAXXX, where XXX will be three letters. Those three letters will be the CSC of the phone. If not, it is possible to determine the carrier using the phone's IMEI and this site. Once we know the carrier or the CSC of the phone it's possible to get you the right ROM for the phone, assuming of course that you haven't totally screwed yourself by installing the AT&T firmware on it. AT&T and Verizon both encrypt the bootloader of the device, and removing the bootloader by flashing the correct ROM through Odin may not work because of the encryption.

Hi,
Now on the phone:
Model : SM-G955FD
Buildnumber: NRD90M.G955FXXU1AQ19
But it is a S8 Plus with only 1 sim
thnx
That makes no sense?
The SM-G955FD and SM-G955F use the same firmware.
The only way that would happen is if you flashed a SM-955FD specific firmware. it won't cause any problem or affect your device in any way.
But it would help to know exactly what you did while you "were playing" in Odin.
If you tell us which country or carrier you are with, we can find the correct firmware for your device and you can flash that back and it'll be back to how it should be, if you really want to get it back to normal.

It seems as if you have flashed the wrong cscs or something as it is showing several different things I would find the stock firmware and start clean
Thank you for the answer, I get this phone from china.
So I didnt flash anything.
The strange thing is that the S/N on the back site is not the same when I search via *#06#.
On the back site is written like SM-G950F.
maybe is a fake one ....... as I Know the S8 series an others .... are built in Vietnam

This may also be true I have seen a lot of 'clones' in my day and can tell em apart sometimes
May be one of those cross flashed refurbs
We had this issue in lg g4s real bad claim to be one model with other firmwares....ended up being 1 model with other parts and other firmwares which made for a crap of a time
Heres the issue you have a exynos model according to some info and us snap model by others. So its real hard as you may need to find what true bootloader is on the device as you may brick trying to restore as snaps are bootloader locked
I would contact the seller and ask What is up that you know something isnt right. And you are not happy as you cannot upgrade as the device has much misleading info inside it
Thank you for the information , maybe its a refurbished phone.
I will have to contact the seller.

Help: SM-G9500 3G/4G in Europe

Hi!
I just got SM-G9500 (bought in Taiwan), and internet is not working, I believe have tried everything in the settings. Phone unlocked, LTE sign next to carrier on top is there, everything else is ok, except data network. SIM on other phone (S7) works fine. Yep, me located in Europe (Vodafone HU).
Is it possible to get 3G/4G with this phone with my operator? If yes, can one point me to the direction how to achieve this?
Baseband G9500SQU1AQC9, Kernel 3.18.30-10318693, Build version SEPF_SM_G9500_5.0.2_0008
Please help!

Do you mean G950F? ie a S8. if so just go here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950F/ (you can find S8+ too if that's what you meant), download the right files for your country & mobile operator, and flash via ODIN

Well, I just posted a link where you can see that there are only two countries listed ... or differences in S8 models (and processor) does not matter, so I can take any S8 file? ... I am aware of this principle, but dont see anybody did it in similar case as mine (or with G9500).
Still waiting for opinion/ideas...

Yeah it will make a difference, that phone is only for far-east markets, hence the firmware, you can try the Hong Kong version, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Far east models run very different frequencies on their modem I believe, could be wrong though
you don't need to flash anything.
you have a Galaxy S8 (SM-G9500)
your phone "speaks" all known wireless frequencies (from the factory) & it can be used anywhere in the world.
The LTE icon just means your phone is registered on the LTE network.
It doesn't (yet) mean you have internet access.
you're 1/2 way there.
at least your LTE works.
You need to contact Vodafone HU helpdesk & ask them to give you the "Access Point" details for their network.
** Normally network providers send you these details in a text message - the first time the phone connects to their network - but maybe you didn't accept the settings / deleted the text message?
Once you have the settings:
Go to: Settings / Connections / Mobile Networks / Access Point Names <--- select "ADD" & then enter the details provided by Vodafone HU & save the access point details.
Your internet access will work after a couple of seconds.
From hungary too
Hy, I'm hungarian too,and i'm just writing in english because of forum. I bought also an SM-G9500,and i still didn't get Oreo. Or any softwer updates since january. If you want, search me on facebook, Gyarmati János István.
Just wait. My SM-G9500 received the Oreo update today.

N986U Android 11 Firmware works on Rogers (Canadian) N986W

Just flashed the latest version of Android 11, and it works flawlessly. Just have to install a Rogers CSC to it and you'll get 5G aswell.
My phone says it is now a N986U device instead of N986W.
If you have any questions, post them.

How?
The 986W version isn't going to be released until Jan 5th so you can download the 986U version from this site and install it with ODIN. Don't do this if you don't understand how to use tools like this, especially if you like your phone...

Did you have to change your CSC? Did you pick HOME for your CSC during the download? I noticed the *#272*IMEI# method to change your CSC doesn't work on the NOTE 20. Regardless, I see my phone still sees 5G. CSC right now is OYN??

Sorry for the late reply. I found the Rogers CSC by googling "Rogers Note 20 ultra Rogers Stock firmware"
I downloaded the whole 6gb file, but only used the Home_CSC from Rogers and used it with ODIN after I got the ATT update.
Have had no issues at all, and One UI 3.0 is a blessing.
