Thanks for your help
Well first off, according to the firmware, it seems you have the AT&T version. The label on the phone is wrong, in fact, that label looks fake. The font is wrong.
Anyway, I am assuming you want to stick with the AT&T firmware for this. Use the stock build, it's the easiest to root.

Yup, that's the exact same one I used as well. Make sure you read on how to install it, too.

Warning: That will BRICK your device!!!
You're running OF2, on the G900A that version contains an updated bootloader and blows a qfuse. You can't ODIN back to NCE from that build. You're stuck on OF2.
Unfortunately, there is no ODIN file for you to restore the OF2 installation, so you have to ODIN to OI5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53454972&postcount=1 first link)

Congratulations for your advice . Samsung S5 is now working . a big thanks from my 13 years old boy , you saved his birthday !
hey all.
i need some serious help here.
i have the same problem.
it's a little different from yours.
i've just bought a samsung S5 G900f as the phone info says and the sticker under the battery as well.
my phone is running kitkat 4.4.2
and can't get any update via software update.
for the record, the phone shows the AT&T software update which means i need an AT&T SIM card to get an update.
i'm frm morocco and if its An AT&T version of s5 , that means it was unlocked.
when i go to bootloader it says G900A....
as well as the download mode says it's a G900A
i took my EMEI and put it in emei.info website they said it is a G900f.
i installed an app from play store called phone info.
it says that my phone has A G900A bootloader , A G900A baseband version , an AT&T finger print build , and an AT&T original CsC code and an AT&T firmware's CsC code and states that the Csc country is Usa and the hardware revision is G900A.00
but on the other hand it says that my build number is G900FZHU1AND1.
please, anyone here can help me out with this.
what phone model do i have ?
what firmware should i flash via odin ? the G900f or G900A one?
will flashing An AT&T firmware lock my device network again if it was obviosly unlocked?
Please guys i need help.
anyone can help me out [emoji20]

Flash a G900F firmware and if it bricks come back here for unbrick instructions. Sounds to me like your seller flashed a G900A firmware on a G900F.
Network locks are carrier-side, not device-side. No matter what you flash, if the device was unlocked it will remain unlocked.

ok buddy.
thank you i'm gonna try and flash A G900f firmware , and let you know then.
despite the fact that i have a G900A bootloader which is locked and means it won't let me flash anything else but G900A firmwares.
for the record , when i access download mode it says it's a G900A.

First of all : Thanks !!!
I'm kind of new in here.. Just looking something to update my current Firmware..
My current version (Lolipop) is extremely slow. ( some times up to 10-15 seconds to run app)..
I want to completely refresh everything. Wipe everything and re-Install Android.
Can I use it for my WindMobile ( Freedom Mobile ) unlocked version of the phone ?
Thanks.
for Root?
Did you succeed root DQB2. CF-Auto-Root homepage, dont have DQB2, only MMB29M.G900W8VLU1DPD3. Is it possible to root DQB2 with CF-ROOT DPD3?
thanks for this. saved me from imei corruption after i unlocked it.
Flash with TWRP?

Flash via Odin
To be sure.... This will upgrade baseband/modem only? Safe to install on lineage os rom?
Looking for an update / change since my 3g/lte connection has been very low and often with not network. Wondering if latest rom could use a newer basebans to help with this mather. Currently on coi4 baseband.
Thank you

Hello, that mega link now says that the file is not available anymore.
If you still have it could you please upload it somewhere so I could fix the link to your post in S5 Odin Flashable Modem & Bootloader?
Or you could edit that post.

I downloaded the files from this thread, which match my PDA and CSC:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6/general/odin-tar-files-sm-g920a-t3103835/page2
However, Odin doesn't start. Not after 30 minutes, it stops at NAND WRITE.
I no longer have a baseband visible.
Phone is Galaxy S6 SM-G920A
Do you see anything in download mode about Knox or warranty bit?

Knox is 0x0, warranty bit is intact.
It's a 5.0.2 Lolipop OS.
It's a very strange situation. IMEI is null/null, baseband is gone, but I can boot the phone fine, and even use PingPong Root without trouble. But there's no radio at all.
If the phone is an sgh-i337 from AT&T, you cannot flash any stock ROMs from updato.com or sammobile.com.
AT&T never released any full ROMs after 4.1.1. All updates for the s4 were pushed via OTA.
The XDA link is for the s6. You flashed the PDA and CSC for an s6 via Odin?
Hi.
I have Note5 at&t and it has Bootloader.
When I was trying to flash another stock at&t firmware, I've lost my IMEI number. As I learned, in order to get back my IMEI, I have to flash my old firmware, but I didn't memorize my old firmware name. And because of the bootloader, there is no way to learn old firmware's name with the root access. I can't root my device. Is there any solution?
Thank y'all in advance.
hi, i have the same problem, tried to downgrade to marshmallow but got an error, i flashed stock AT&T nougat firmware and now have no imei info or baseband info, i have tried flashing n920aucu4eqk6 and n920aucu4eql1 which are the 2 latest firmware versions but still having same problem...help! please
in case this helps anyone, i managed to solve my issue, i downgraded firmware to a 5.1.1 combination firmware, where the baseband and the imei were still being picked up by the phone, then i reflashed the phone with PK1 marshmallow rom (except i did not flash the CP file), only flashing the BL, AP and CSC files and now the phone is running marshmallow and picking up the imei and baseband information and can make calls and send text and picture messages.
thank you
