Hello,
May someone help me please.. does anyone here flash a stock ROM Android 6 from different Versions of note 5 (N9208, N920C, N920G etc.) Does it work for your N920F? i want to upgrade my n920f note 5 to marshmallow or does anyone here have a stock ROM even just 5.1.1 can you please share it with me? please?
There is no such thing as the SM-N920F. The Note5 was never released in Europe. You should check your actual model by going to download mode.

Hey, i have bought the same note 5 SMN920F one month ago i was using a Ugandan simcard and it was fine, i really wanted to update it but i could not then i came to discover that it was originally a SMN920V, so i read that if i wanted to update it i have to install the original stock firmware SMN920V of which i did and it's working fine on wifi, i am in Uganda, so i tried inserting a Ugandan simcard then it shows me a massage "simcard is not from verizon wireless" so the simcard i have is not supported after i installed the stock firmware which i found here on sammobile. How can i overcome this ?and be able to use any other simcard as before

Yes by installing the original stock firmware SMN920V, you have locked the phone back to Verizon. Hence you must send it to an unlock technician or pay online for on a trusted website for it to be unlocked

Those SM-N920F models are a knock off!! You should make sure the phone is actually real or not..

Hi. Ive got the same N920F problem. When I checked the build number earlier it says its N920F. In download mode, its N920P. The screen is now stuck with the samsung logo and Im unable to verify which is the correct build to download and flash my phone with
Having the same issue here...What a bummer....Could anybody help me, please? Thanks...
Am having the same issue, is there any solution?
can I flash Canadian firmware (SM-N920W8) on a SM-N920T from t-mobile?
I find it hard to believe nobody can answer this question.
I am with Rogers but purchased the phone outright as a refurb and would like to take advantage of their wifi calling but cannot with t-mobile firmware
How about changing the CSC and if that is possible, how to do?
guess not huh?
I'd love to get an answer to this question. I bought a Note 5 that was originally TMobile and now I'm using it in Canada on freedom mobile. The phone was working great until a few weeks ago when I tried to remove the root that was on it and now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I've tried to flash the N920W8 firmware from Canada but it fails... the backof the device says N920W8.. but when it connects to twrp it says its a N920T.
Guess I should try the 920T firmware with odin... ?

Did you wipe system?
i would like an answer as well. have a note 5 bought here in Canada that was branded tmobile. but unlocked. tried flashing a rom and have had nothing but problems with imei/csc/service with sim card ever since. flashed stock n920t firmware 3 times with 3 different up-to-date firmware files and it hasn't fixed the issue. oddly enough i found out the number on the phones back is actually n920v so it's been rebranded once already. apparently because all phone info and twrp say it's n920t . will flashing Verizon firmware fix this? also if it's already been done once why can't i make the system n920w8 instead of n920t? how was it done than? or can i flash international rom ? really need to get service/imei/baseband/csc in working order. i can't afford a new phone .... so many questions...
Help required with this guys if possible.
I bought a Samsung galaxy note 5, when I go to settings, about the model number comes up as a SM-N920F N920FUBS3BPJ1. But when I put the phone in download mode the phone shows it as a SM-SM920T model. The question is, can I flash this with odin with the new version 7 software to obtain the newest firmware. also can anyone tell me what the original stock firmware was,I'm in the UK and the phone is unlocked and presently using it on vodafone. Thanks.
I've been thinking about buying a Note 9 from my operator, Telenor (Norway), but don't want their build of the firmware... I remember on older samsung devices, swapping that used to be as easy as to flash another image through Odin, and it didn't trip knox or anything... Is that still the case with the N9? ?
Ya, pretty much but let someone chime in that has that phone. I moved my s9+ from one us carrier to another. Just had to find the right firmware to flash.
Yes thats easy for you as you have any exynos device, you can flash any 960F firmware.
My device is from singapore bit i just flashed a newer build from taiwan In odin last night.
Hi,
I bought my device from Dubai, im using it on India. Now it is running Android 9 with OneUI 1.0. When tried to update software I can not see the update option in the setting list.

Is your device 2nd hand? If it is then I believe it has been rooted.

The box still had the retail seals on it? Then your device maybe brand new. In which case I would return it to the retailer and ask for a replacement.
I cannot return beacuse , i bought it from Dubai and i am in India. Thats why opted for firmware updation.

You can try reinstalling the stock OS back onto your device using Odin and see if that helps.

Did flashing the stock firmware help ?
FOUND the answer
I HAVE found the source, i have a phone with same exact situation as the person who started this thread and i did some investigating and i found out my model is actually the korean variant of the note 9 single sim converted to duos variant F model with dual sim tray installed, meaning if you go to download mode you will be greeted by Korean and once you press volume up, you can see in the top left that its actually SM-N960N variant, but if you check the imei in the phone it will say its the F variant meaning imei have also been changed.
So if you flash stock rom you will lose dual sim status and probably enjoy korean language on the welcome page on loading up the phone and might even lose 4g 3g connectivity cause korean 4g/3g bands are different compared to india.

This is a risky procedure, we may loose our imei numbers or lose 4g connectivity, so for now ill stick with this rom, flashing the stock firmware and then upgrading to android 10 and redoing the entire conversion again from an N variant to an F/DS variant might be an option but that requires tools and skill, that is not easy.

No, you won't as the Korean N960N is essentially the same as the N960F (single SIM model). They are both GSM devices and will run on any global GSM Cell network. I have a N960N and I am using it on a Hong Kong Cell network and I get excellent coverage.
Also you can change the language during the Setup process, I believe it is on the bottom of the screen. I can't remember as it has been a while since I setup a Note 9.

Issue being we might loose our changed imeis if we flash stock firmware because the current imeis are not the original imei for the N variant but show up as F variant instead.
Hello, I have the exact same problem as the two of you above.
My question is have you found a way of updating to android 10?
Did you unroot the device or is the device still rooted?
If yes, how did you do it?
And is the device functioning properly?
I have this exact problem too. Is there any solution. Cos this OS I'm using is frustrating me

What options do we have in order to update to a later version? Is it possible to flash a stock ROM downloaded using Bifrost, and will that have any impact on the IMEIs and serial number? Can Knox be 'untripped' or the phone unrooted?
