Can you post me a picture of the front of your phone so I can see the size of your screen and bezel sizes?
I've posted 2 pictures 1 is real and the other is fake.. All you have to do is look closely at the size of the sides of the phone you'll see what I mean with the red underline versus the white.

I have the same phone n920f and its rooted but what i can't understant that the know counter is not trigged it still 0x0
I downloded phone info and cpu_z to see the real name of my note the phone info said n920v and cpuz said n920 f

so how exactly did you root it to keep knox 0x0 ? starting to believe it might be fake as well

If I recall right the v version is for Verizon. Which isn't rootable? At least not by normal methods. So I am about 99%, sure you guys have fakes.

it is not a fake model! it's a Sprint model. which had a something like a mixed Firmware.if u try to do something,
make a Nandroid backup.

might be a refurbished one.

SM-G925R6 VZW LRA Partner Carrier Variant Help Thread

Carrier: Appalachian Wireles

Android Version: 5.0.2
Device Type: zeroltelra
CSC Code: LRA
Bootloader Version: G925R6WWU2A0F2
CSC Version: G925R6LRA2A0F2
I'm looking for a way to root if I can??
Edit: Also looking for any info about the bootloader to see if it's unlocked like the 900R6 was.
Sm-G925R6 Cellcom
I'm actually looking for a way to revert back to stock. My phone model is Sm-G925R6
Model number SM-G925RZWALRA
Cellphone provider is Cellcom in Wisconsin and use Verizon towers.
On the back of the phone imprinted under the glass the i.d is also sm-g925v as this specific model is similar to the verizon varient s6 edge
I purchased the phone thinking I could find the stock firmware somewhere and just use Odin to flash back.
The person that previously had the phone. Rooted the phone same method as the verizon galaxy s6 edge. I have twrp recovery and am running the CleanRom from the verizon s6 edge.
All verizon s6 edge roms work on the phone and I'm using Tmobile on the phone.
I want to revert back to stock but no firmwares if you do back up your stock firmware is there a way to share it ?
Check the back of your phone and see if the fcc id is SMG925V then the verizon method presumably work
The only thing on the back of my phone is Samsung & Galaxy S6 Edge.
I had the LRA version of the S5 and it took a bit but eventually the stock fw got released so I'm hoping this one will be the same..
Update: The sticker on the box says SMG925RZKEL
In the back of the phone towards the bottom of the phone towards the charger under where it says galaxy s6 edge. There should be really fine text. Small print.
Mine says SM-G925R6 Fcc ID A3LSMG925V

This was a bit helpful I checked out the tool but can't find firmware for my phone still.
I input the information you have and a firmware does come up. But I'm a bit confused for your model number you have Sm-g900R6 isn't that the galaxy s5?
Firmware given is for galaxy s5 isn't it ?
The regular galaxy s6 is Sm-G920 and the s6 edge is Sm-G925

Thanks for the help,
The firmware worked and i was able to return the phone back to stock and was able to set up Android pay.
The bad for me is that the original stock firmware doesnt allow me to change the APN settings so i can use my T-mobile sim
I do get data and it works normal with fast LTE speeds but unable to send text/calls.
I had to re-root the phone and went back to CleanRom so that i can use my T-mobile sim on the phone.
Thanks for all the help and helping me get back to stock.
The zip you uploaded does work and helps get back to stock on SM-G925R6

I am in the same situation as saulpro. I have the same cellcom phone with same kernal build date. I activated on Verizon but cannot send mms. I have a triangle above my network signal icon also.
Odin twrp unified one for all variants should be fine (will trigger knox), flash supersu done. If you are running Verizon you will likely need to flash a Verizon rom on it. Keep in mind that with this device Verizon unique features such as VoLTE will not work.
I don't own this phone nor do I plan to.. I owned previous lra Samsung Galaxy devices though and did development work with them.
So I was able to root, but that was all it did. Still couldn't send MMS. I had data and could call/text/receive mms.
I flashed a couple of different Verizon roms. A regular S6 allowed me to send MMS, but I lost data. I tried another couple for the S6 edge and lost data and MMS. All I can do now is text and call...
Ideas?
Currently downloading stock firmware for G925R6 and gonna start again.

Make sure apn's are set properly.
Would it be the original apn settings or verizon? How can I change them? Other Roms let me but this one doesn't show anything.

Did you try a factory reset?
Go to Settings>Backup and Restore> Factory Reset.
This should wipe everything and reset it to new. You will loose all your data.

sorry, but i think Battlehero may be right, your device is not an original note 5, it is probably a fake chinese device.

Wrong model number?

Hi everyone,
So I recently bought a softbricked note 4, that would hang on the at&t boot animation. As I was trying to solve this, I noticed the model number behind the battery and on the back cover was n910t, so I thought it to be the tmobile variant...
However, all I ended up doing was deleting /data and it booted into setup, working perfectly. When I go into about this device, it shows n910a as the model number. When I plug it into smart switch, it shows as n910t, with n910a showing as the model number below it.
I would like to install root and custom recovery, but attempts to flash in Odin do fail, so am I safe to assume that this is for sure the at&t variant with a locked bootloader? What gives with the mismatched model numbers? Does anyone else have something like this?
Thanks so much

What the model number shows in odin download mode N910A or N910T ? If it shows SM-N910A then it's AT&T note 4 and its not rootable.
In download mode model number is the correct original motherboard model.
ignore the sticker behind battery and smart switch it could be refurbished with fake software.
Unfortunately for me, it does show N910A in download mode, despite what the sticker and back of the phone say, so every attempt I've made to flash in Odin failed, except for updating from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1. I really appreciate your help - I thought originally that perhaps it was in the boot loop because someone tried to flash an at&t rom onto a t-mobile variant. Anyway, glad to have that sorted! Thanks so much

Questions regarding my Galaxy Note 8

Hello!
A few days ago i purchased a "new" galaxy note 8 on ebay. the offer said that it would be a N950F. So does it say in the settings.
After setting up the phone I tried to update the phone to the newest firmware via the OTA option in the settings.
Just to see the following message
"Your current software version isn't supported. visit a service center."
Current version: n950fxxu4dsd1/n9500zzh4dsd/n950u5dsd3
Security patch level: March 1, 2019
So I tried to flash a newer stock firmware via odin which didn't work either cause it would either get stuck while initializing or fail after establishing a connection.
I dug a bit deeper and installed PHONE INFO SAM from the playstore to see what's up with this phone.
This is what I found out so far:
BL: N950USQU7DSK3
PDA: N950FXXU4DSD1
CSC: N9500ZZH4DSD1
On top of everything it says in the settings that the phone is a SM-N950F which is a european version of the phone which uses an exynos processor.
But this phone according to Phone Info Sam is a SM-N9500 which uses the msm8998 wich is the snapdragon 835.
So the settings say it is a N950F but in reality it is a N9500.
What does this all mean and what should I do with this phone?
Get a refund?
Can i change the csc somehow and flash a european firmware?
Try changing just the csc with odin. See if that works. Then check for the update. Hope that helps.
I'd return it. As you may have been sold a frankenstein unit made with miss match Note 8 parts.

Return the phone ASAP it's not "new" it's using a bunch of random different hardware parts from several different phones and you'll never be able to update it or anything else. Not worth it.

Changing the CSC unfortunately won't help anything because the phone was put together using a bunch of different parts from a few different phones hardware parts. They'll never be able to flash any firmware updates or anything else.
Mr Mike is spot on. This is why if I buy from Ebay I ask seller to send pics of about phone. Send that Frankenstein thing back.

If your BL is N950U then its a US model phone. The other stuff was just able to be flashed because of my root method on the N950U so thats why pda and csc don’t match. The phone can be flashed with any V7 US firmware. Then you can root from there or whatever you want
