Note 5 Demo unit SM-N920X (Question) Root Or remove retail mode - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys i brought a note 5 demo unit for like 300 bucks i want to get rid of the retail mode and use this as a phablet without sim i have turned a s6 edge demo unit into the normal one but i can't get this worked out any ideas guys? Help please...
I want to root it too or install the normal firmware
One reason for this is because i mistakenly updated my note 5 and now the phone has a bug which does not let it charge above 70% i know this is not hardware because when i updated it using wifi i charged it to 100% and it became 60% and i tried to charge till 100% but i came up with this...

Need help please

I currently am running cyanogen mod that a coworker installed on the S3 I have for a previous owner and in my eyes it was working fine when I purchased the phone third hand.
I had subscribed also to a few data plans and never had a problem until the last data plan subscription. I took it down to the service provider and the technician said it might be that my rooted phone is causing the issue. I never had a problem before so found it odd but he took my sim card out, put it in another phone and the data plan was working just fine but in my phone, it just wouldn't even though the settings are correct.
I would like to unroot the S3 now to see if I can have this problem fixed and would love some assistance. From what I can tell the phone is using SuperUser as that's what usually asks to request permission for apps that I install.
How do I return my phone to stock ROM without damaging it?
Thanks!
We need more details, did you check your baseband and try to flash another modem ?

For S3 (i9300) -> GT-I9300
For S3 LTE (i9305) -> GT-I9305

Thank you very much
I contacted a friend and he told me that he doesn't think it's the phone but maybe the OS so I then switched the phone over to Omega Omni and so far the data plan is working properly.

Stock 6.0.1 firmware (N910TUVS2EQG1)

I have been out of the loop as far as Android goes for quite some time, and have just recently flashed back to 5.x.1 Lollipop, completely wiped everything and started from scratch on my N910T. I let all the OTA updates install and wanted to avoid having to wait so many hours in the event that I want to reflash/wipe my device and start anew to remove root/custom goodies. So I began to search for the stock 6.0.1 firmware, and due to uncertainty, I have to ask here. My build number that I see listed is MMB29M.N910TUVS2EQG1. After my initial search, I came across a thread here and a site with loads of Samsung firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/stock-n910t-n910tuvu2epe3-6-0-1-t3407018
After digging through this thread, I see that Tmobile users are successfully using the firmware linked, but this thread is almost a year old. Is it safe to assume that the firmware here would be okay to have on hand to flash back to stock?
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-N910T/
In the event that is not the case, does anyone have any experience with this website? And do they seem to be a trustworthy host? I would rather not download something that bricks my poor old note 4
I've downloaded from this website and it does work. The problem is that the download speed is extremely slow.

While I'm at it, I'm having trouble with my phone. when I dial *#06# where it shows the device IMEI# and Serial#, although the IMEI# is showing, the serial number says none. This is effecting the device fingerprint which is not working for me at the moment. I've been looking for options for days now. Do you have any idea how to address this? Thanks.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note4/SM-N910T/ is the correct site for the slow to be free and can pay for faster download.

Galaxy Note 5 N920V to N920 something else...

Morning there,
I've been reading all I've been able to since Monday here and also from search results in Google, but I still haven't got a clear idea if this is possible or not.
I live in UK and I've bought a new Galaxy Note 5, which I received last Saturday, the phone works fine, but it has a N920V firmware on it from Verizon US, and I want to get Android 7 on it.
Verizon hasn't updated the firmware for this phone since January this year, so no Android 7 on their network, at least I can't find any firmware on SamMobile.
I've downloaded Android 7 for it, but firmware N920C (for Turkey it seems...), I've tried to flash it with Odin v3.12.7, the phone has the FRP lock as OFF and I've gone into the developer options and turned ON usb debugging and OEM unlock, but Odin fails to flash it, I can still boot up the phone and use it as normal after Odin fails no issues, I just cannot flash it.
I don't want to root the phone, and I don't want to install any custom recovery or custom ROM either, I just want to install Android 7 and if possible have a firmware with less bloatware, hence I downloaded the N920C. I downloaded the latest N920C firmware available out of the 6 there is available, so if anyone here knows that I can use any of the other 5 and make it work I'll be happy anyway...
As always, many thanks for yourhelp in advance
Just contact me via whatsapp, and ill guide you. Because ive been pass the same problem with u.
+6282299180088
Can you explain it here? I don't use whatsup, sorry.
I've flahsed the phone with the latest Verizon firmware from SamMobile, I tried to flash it again with the N920C but didnt work.
Now with the latest Verizon firmware it always throws me an error when I restart the phone saying that the "SIM is not from Verizon", but still works on my EE SIM, so not too worried about that.
Also, I see now a red screen with Verizon name when I restart it, something I didnt have before....
Anyone knows how to get rid of these 2 things? or better even, how to flash the N920C firmware to it?
Thanks

Please help unbrick my Note 4

I recently had to change my Note 4 motherboard as the previous one suddenly went off and refused to come on. On the new one, i found that the model number says N910F. However, in odin mode, it says N910T, i downloaded 6.0 firmware for N910T to upgrade the phone but it has been stuck in T-Mobile screen since then. I will attach screenshots i took before upgrading the phone to this post. Thank you

Is my note 9 genuine?

Hi all,
I'm coming into a such weird situation and I'll try to mention all the aspects.
I bought my note 9 a week ago from an online store (noon.com in UAE).
Seems like the phone is korean variant. Here's what is weird:
1- Model no. : SM-N960FD
2- model no. In the software (settings): SM-N960F/DS
3- phone's back at the very bottom (small text) reads: *N950F*
4- the phone was sealed and had samsung sticker which states it has never been opened before.
5- I came to realize that the spen has no bluetooth as there has been connectivity issue forever.
6- as i opened the hotspot, the device name is "DrKetanRom_5e10" which is a custom rom i believe.
7- I can't fine phone update section in settings.
8- The device is rooted when using root checker app.
9- phone status is custom.
10- SE for android status mentions DrKetan as well.
11- the camera lens has variable aperture which proves it's a note 9
12- knox status is 0x0!.
I am very confused! The phone seems totally new and is scratchless all around. I don't know if maybe Korean or chinese version phone comes with no android basic stuff as other shipped phones so Samsung re-installed the software or somethinhg?
If any body can help, that would be highly appreciated!!
Thanks.
Anyone?

If you go to bootloader mode you will see that it is n960n, not n960f.
I think these are SKTelecom phones from Korea.
they are original phones but have been refurbished or I don't know the exact term but they are repurposed to be sold like n960f - ds phones.
I also have a similar phone but I got all things intact no issues, I am actually running Dr. Ketan Q rom.
Only My Download mode shows some Korean stuff and I'm used to it from my note 4 days. I had an n910s
Just put your IMEI number on https://www.imei.info/ and it will show your phone details.
I also believe there are certain apps on play store that gives out device info.
All the best, since its already rooted just, go nuts with a badass custom ROM already.
Samsung Phone Information app from playstore has a refurbishment check. And yes it has been rooted with custom rom.

You are definitely correct, the model number in bootloader mode shows n960n! And download mode shows "download mode" in korean.
So can i just flash the stock rom of sm-n960f/ds and recieve the android Q whenever sasung releases it for the note 9? Or I'm already stuck now?
Also i coming from a note 3, so i have no ideas what are some popular roms for the note 9, also I don't want to loose spen functionality, so can you recommend a rom to install that is stable and saves battery?
Thanks alot for your help!

I would recommend that you install the N960N OS back onto it. As the N960N is a single SIM device. I don't know what will happen if you install a the dual SIM variant's OS onto it.

SM-N960F firmware is the same used for SM-N960F/DS. He should flash the Original firmware meant for the phone. SM-N960N.
Also, if his IMEI that pops up when dialing *#06# matches what is on the back of the phone, then he can flash the SM-N960F firmware.
Actually my phone is dual sim, and sm-n960n is a dual sim firmware.
IMEI is consistent in everywhere, with the box, with the back of the phone, when checking it on the internet.
I know that samsung will not support the note 9 after android Q upgrade, so shall i install a custom rom instead? If yes which one shall i install?
Is there a need - as of now- to install a custom rom, or the stock rom is fine (battery and performance wise)?
Or shall i go for stock android experience (project treble) to enjoy maximum performance?
What do you think?
Sorry for annoyance !
if you dont want it i might trade u for a brand new tmobile branded note 9. but u probably dont want it. (long shot)
im currently looking into what i can do with it if anyone knows feel free im also utilizing att but phone is tmo with device lock app untouched as of right now. . (needing leads)
jus wanted to get in on this thread so i can follow progress
It is probably a real phone but with the software modified.
Just flash the boot loader for n960n from Odin and the Twrp recovery then flash any rom that supports n960n ds or f rom. It works. I've tried ambasadi rom, the galaxy project and dr ketan. All worked for me. Just backup using TWRP and read all dev recommended steps before you flash anything. Or if you prefer stock there was a particular thread I think. All the best.
