Hello!i think u have to try to install a app from play store called Phone Info,and check your info device to be shure of your phone,probably it is not an N920F.it's not released.
I made some screenshots
Do you know what are those codes on the margins of the screen?
I think it is something related with developer settings.
Go to settings > developer options.
That's a picture of how is suposed to be your settings
It should be something like a prototype or kinda, because it is made a lot earlier than the actual device

Is it safe? If something go wrong while flashing i can't revert to original firmware because it isn't one.

as long as they have the very same processor, you shouldnt have "any" issues. Just be sure that you will flash only the PDA/AP and not the BL CP OR CSC.
You may also make a nandroid backup by flashing a custom recovery eg. TWRP and then backup, for being "extra" secure

I got a Samsung Captivate from someone off ebay. I tired running the update through my phone, but of course you can't. It fails at 50%. So I tried to through Kies Mini. Every time i try to, I get Firmware Version: Unregistered Device. It recognizes what phone it is and it recognizes my phone number. I registered the phone on the samsung website, still nothing. Did soft reset, factory restored the phone, and followed the instructions Samsung gave me for Kies Mini. And I don't know if my phone is rooted or not. I'm thinking that may be the possibility. If it is, how can I unroot it?? This is what my phone says in "About Phone":
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: I897UCJF6
Kernel Version: 2.6.29 jetaek.lee(at)sep-11 #2
Build Number: ECLAIR
I had to put (at) because xda said i can't put outside links in a post because I'm new?? It is the at symbol though.
I don't know if you can tell if the phone is rooted on not through that. But I would really like to get my phone updated soon. I was really looking forward to the Flash Player and the GPS getting fixed since I travel a lot.
Your phone seems already modified. Look at kernel. That is why you got problem when updating via kies. And i bet that phone is rooted already. Or seller unroot when he/she post to sell and kernel it self, it is not a stock kernel, it is a custom kernel.

how do i bring it all back to stock?? is there anything i can do to the phone to make it like i just pulled it out of the box??
Check and see if you are rooted, I don't think you are, download "busybox installer" from the market and run it. Unless you are rooted it will fail.
Not quite sure if that if a custom kernel actually, I'll look it up.
In the mean time look up how to boot into recovery, if it's blue with 4 options it's stock recovery
If any other color and more options that is clock work mod recovery.
most if not all custom kernels come with clockwork so if you have stock recovery it's most likely a stock kernel.
I'm thinking maybe the original owner used odin one click to restore it to stock and jf6 is the way early version and some newer phones won't even run that so it may no longer be supported by samsung?? Just a theory...
it's blue with 4 options. but i talked to a samsung rep and he thought it was odd that my build number only said ECLAIR and didnt have a number. but i guess he was lazy and didnt look into it.
Did u ever check your product code?

woah no it doesnt. it says SGH-I897ZKATMB. what does this mean??
Don't worry it wasn't your fault . Probably from the previous owner. When u flash some custom roms it can change your product code for some reason. Samsung Mini Kies also checks this before it updates your phone. If one letter is off it won't update your phone
is there a way i can get it back to normal??
Yes!! U can . But the bad part is that its kinda tricky .

well my .02 is: STOCK SUCKS​
learn how to flash a custom rom and you will have a billion times the performance/options/control than you would even think of on stock. and it would be easier than worrying about using kies.

That is actually true! Trust us! A custom rom is wayyy better than stock

That just means somebody had flashed a T-Mobile based rom that edited the product code. Check your IMEI in Settings>About Phone to see if it starts with "000" or if it starts with the number 3. If 000 are the first numbers of your IMEI, then you could have a lemon due to a corrupted EFS. I have had the issue myself.
Just an FYI, make sure NOT to post your full IMEI anywhere ever.
A normal IMEI will start with the number 3. EFS is a special area on your phone which stores encrypted info about how the phone identities itself on the network. It is where the product code and IMEI are stored. If EFS is corrupted, your phone will give incorrect IMEI info to the network and eventually you will see bad stuff happen like loss of data connectivity and stuff like that.

Today I bought an ATT galaxy s6 edge for about $350, I was told it wouldn't boot past the powered by Android screen. I thought it would be an easy flash in odin. So I flaBootscreem ock 0I2 firmware and it passed successfully. But it still won't pass the Samsung logo. I've tried a few other methods people have posted. Like wipe data and cache but it still won't work. Now I feel bad that I spent the money on a paperweight. Anyone have any ideas?
Did you try to flash the latest firmware, with all 4 files via odin?
Here is the link for the latest. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6SkpQCi70hHY2NnZExnbThTblE/view

I tried OI2 which is what is on it. And I did flash all 4 files. I'll try the newest one. But I believe the efs file is corrupted
Ok, can you get to the recovery in the phone? Tell me if you see anywhere in the bottom "dm verify verification failed".

Yes it does say that at the bottom. I'm in the process of trying to sell it as I don't have the time right now to deal with it. But if its something simple I can download to fix I would. As I also don't have home Internet all download are through my carrier
Oh then its really easy, reflash latest software via odin with the 4 files. In options tab make sure you select the clean efs folder and there you go my friend

I have a SM-N9200, which is a China (inc. Hongkong) variety. In order to get Google Play, which is not available in the Chinese version, I flashed the Hong Kong version. But I have no cell signal after flash. Both roms (Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong) are designed for the same model, it should work. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks in advance.

You should check your APN settings and either select the correct one (if it's there) or create another one. Tap settings, Mobile networks and then Access Point Names.

My bad I didn't think you meant it like that.. In any case I would suggest you flash back to your other stock ROM and is there some reason you can't just install the .apk files needed to run the play store?

There's a way to get it in there on your version but I really don't have time to get into all that but you're not bootloader locked so you should be able to figure this out pretty easily with a few searches.

1st check your model of your device, after download twrp and flash from Odin, do it properly it will brick your device, if you fail or stacked, flash another twrp version. If you still cnt boot, download original firmware for note 5, will be alright, and warranty will be voids if you root your mobile bro..
Check your device model in settings about something like SM-N92**** blah blah blah

Only For Snapdragon Variants, Its The Universal Firmware, Its Free Of Carrier Bloat But Has Some Samsung Useless Apps.
Not For Exynos Variants Like The Sm-g935f, Etc.

The Zip Has The Att Extension But All Universal Snapdragon Fw Are The Same Afaik, It Does Not Install Anything Specific For Att,
Im On Telus/koodo Using The Sm-g935a Without Issues, Shows Lte Signal When On Data Mode.
Idk If Auto Updates Work, Although Update Options Are Available From The System Menu
Instructions:
Dl Zip, Extract Zip, Put Phone In Dl/odin Mode. Run Odin As Admin, And Load Each Cp, Ap, Bl And Csc(Dont Use The Home Csc As I Read Its Fracks Things Up), Just Use "Csc_oym" File In Odin
Fyi. I Used Princes Odin But Failed, Used Untouched Odin And It Flashed Successfully. Was On Nougat 7.0 Sim Unlocked SM-G935A At&t Branded Stock Fw. I Included Both For Your Pleasure.

yes and no, csc controls what bloatware and which settings are setup by default dependant on carrier and country, hence why this is a universal fw and not dependant on original csc files.
if u truly have the att s7edge g935a, which is what i had, then yes.

The author claims performance and battery improvements but has anyone that switched over really noticed that big of a improvement?
I mean i already disabled all the carrier bloat with adhell isn't that basically the same as installing this rom? Does the universal maybe have a different kernal/different system level tweaks?
