I bought a second hand galaxy note 5, on the back cover of the phone the model is written SM-N920C but in download mode is written SM-N920d ! Nevertheless when I check the model at "setting/about the device" the model was SM-N920I
The problem started when my note 5 was flashed with venom rom then I accidentally formated all system files so the phone stuck in Android logo, I tried to flash the phone using Odin and SM-N920c but Odin said FAILED just when I click start. Now the phone is off for the battery is dead and it couldn't be charged , please help me to find the right flash and is there any way to flash it without download mood?
Use Kies and do an emergency recovery. It'll also be able to determine the actual model number. You probably didn't update the bootloader when usong Venom or something. Usually you want to update to the official marahmallow and then flash after that.

Thanks for your comment, I did that already but kies does not support emergency recovery for Note 5 SM-N920c!
I've used it once on my 920c when I initially messed something up. You may need to invoke download mode. Turn the phone off and hold home, volume down and power.
Oh, and there's a modern version of kies which works for modern Samsung phones only.
Did you install a custom recovery immediately after rooting? Always do this first.

N920d or N9200?
In your case, I would go with what is mentioned in the download mode since the back glass can be replaced with another model and ROM flashing can alter model # sometimes.
PS: you need to be sure that it was an original Note 5, not just a copy. I'd recommend taking it to the nearest service center to have it checked out.

I went with what is mentioned in the download mode which is N920d but I didn't find this firmware at any site?

Because that firmware does not exist.
It's either 920C or 920CD (for dual-sim) or 9200 for Chinese models.
The first two will have similar firmwares but the 9200 uses different one.
Have you verified exactly which model it is? What does Kies mention when you connect?

As per my search on google, the n920D is Docomo variant.
I haven't been able to find the stock firmware anywhere as of yet.
Flash a custom recovery for your variant (TWRP>others) and then flash a custome ROM that is compatible with 920D.
There must be some on XDA itself.

you think it is possible to install a normal 920i version on the 9208 ??! so it work as a normal one sim note 5 ??
i have same question too... can i flash 920i 920c rom on SM-N9208?
Give me $800 and i will try it for you. No one is going to try that for you risking an $800 phone.
I have the SM-N9208 and I heard that you can flash any rom to it as long as you have root on the phone since the phone is no different then any other model besides software. BTW I seen someone post on another site that they have the N9208 running a t-mobile rom. I've been busy working and next week I have a few days off so I'll try it myself then

Hello all . I have problem with note8 . bought it few days ago , owner did wipe the phone thru recovery wipe data etc after that the phone normally turned on .
so i checked it and all worked without issue . turned off the phone then the guy removed hes simcard .
when i got home i put my own sim into it (same network as the guy i bought it from ) turned on and now all i am getting on the screen is " Please enter Privacy Protection password to unlock .
the previous owner vanished but i checked the imei and its clean .
After googling i found out that its asking for the password because the original sim was removed and the only way to bypass it its to flash it with other rom / firmware .
I got stock firmware corresponding to the model but i cant access download mode on it .
tried volume down + bixby + power no luck
volume down + bixby + power , release power but still holding the vol+bix brings me to screen with options i guess chinese ...
vol up+bix + power brings me to recovery
Can anyone help me with it ?

First your phone is a galaxy s8 sm-G950F
Which imei number did you check the one on back of phone or when you dial *#06# in dialer to check?
I would check the imei from *#06# (not the serial number).
Download Phone Info Sam app from play store. See if the imei matches and that you have a exynos soc.
And yes you'll get a download mode and that Chinese letters is most likely your download mode options. Which might mean you got a pretty good fake galaxy s8.
As I know you can't flash sm-G9500 (snapdragon soc) onto a Sm-G950F (exynos soc). So don't know where the Chinese language popped up from or where you can change the language for download mode.
Check out the galaxy s8 forums for any info.
Not sure what's going on here.first screenshot is common for China phones, which is the base for all China cloned phones.
Second screenshot belongs to a samsung s8 phone.
But your title says note 8.
Either you are confused or the phone is confused.

HI Hi am wondering if you could help with my Galaxy Note 8
I am able to install the firmware using ODIN without any errors on download mode but after ODIN is finished the phone turns off and does not boot.
I have taken the phone to a repair shop as well and they have confirmed that there is no hardware issues,
My model number is SM-950F , basically stuck on download mode

Try getting into recovery mode and do a factory reset.
Or
In Odin use all 4 files AP, CP, BL, AND CSC (use the CSC file NOT the home-CSC ). (Try checking Nand erase all.)
Also you can do both if you want too.
I wonder if you need to re-partition your phone?
I would take the phone back to the service shop you took it too and tell them to get it working. I find it hard to believe they will tell you it's not a hardware fault when they can't get the phone to boot up! If they cant get it to boot they need to give you a new motherboard.
How did they check the phone without the phone booting up? Isn't that there first test to see if the phone starts up to home screen?

No luck turning the phone on recovery mode only can use download mode and i have tried the same files with the Nand erase all, the same thing .. Odin installs all the files without any errors but does not boot up after installation is finished.
The service shop said they checked components on the motherboard and there is no damage or no IC has been damaged.
What do you suggest i do next?

It's quite simple.. You download the latest version of firmware for the device which is N950USQS6DSI3 after it's downloaded you need to unzip it one time and then boot the phone into download mode and connect it to the PC USB port and open Odin and put the files in their respective place and then flash.

Doesn't matter they're all the same just choose whichever and flash it the phone will choose the correct information on it's own!
Are there update limits? I usually get a new phone, root it, find a rom I like and stick with it a long time. I recently updated many apps and they are not working right. Only google maps will get the location from the GPS for example. Also trying to get it to work with my new car radio (kenwood) with wireless mirroring and android auto. Anyway, as much as I like root, I am thinking it may be time to just update. I am currently at N950USQS2BQK2. Yeah way back. Can I odin a current like N950UOYN7DSK3 or do I have to go in steps? Also how do I get an unlocked USA from sammobile? Just pick a USA that doesn't list a carrier? Any other gotcha's since 2017?

When I have lost IMEI before, flashing stock filmware has resolved it for me.
You are getting that error in Odin as you are trying to flash bootloader 5 over bootloader 8. You can't downgrade the bootloader version. You need to download the latest filmware.
I take it you updated your phone in the last couple of days to be on bootloader 8. Just download that same filmware and it should flash fine.

First off, did you back up your EFS folder before flashing a rom? You should always do this. If you did, try restoring the EFS with TWRP.
If that fails, flash stock filmware with Odin. The thread below gives you all the information you need to do this. At the end of post number 2, you can download Samfirm, this is an excellent program for Pc that will allow you to download the filmware much faster than a free SamMobile account or Updato.

Leave it on auto, put the model number in the Model section, for region put XSG, which I believe is correct for UAE.

You can download from SamMobile, you will have to create a free account so you can download. I suggest using ADM (advanced download manager) as your internet is not good, it should let you carry on downloading if it gets interrupted.
Here is the filmware link (SamMobile is safe to use)
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-8/firmware/SM-N950F/XSG/download/N950FXXSADTB1/325565/
If the download in Samfirm stops at any point the download becomes corrupted, and you have to start again! So this way should be better for you (SamMobile)

Thank you, I have a free account, but this site is very annoying, just does not allow free download, like force buy, that will never happen, I WILL buy another Mobile if I have to but will never pay to download from SamMobile site. :good:

Maybe it has changed, I have not used it for a good while, you used to be able to download for free but at a very slow speed.
You could try Updato.com, but I'm not sure if it has the latest firmware.

I apologise that ADV seemed to be a virus for you I won't recommend that ever again to someone. It seemed to work fine for Windows Defender...
Really glad you have fixed your issue though :highfive:

Good evening, I bought a second hand Note 9 which rooted, I tried to unroot, it crashed, it did not turn on and remained BLOCKED on SAMSUNG. I downloaded firmware which are in android 8.1 -9 and 10. Nothing. Bad manipulation, a cable that comes loose and voila that nothing works. I tried the emergency RECOVERY with Smart Switch, nothing. I tried again through odin I got the error message on the attached capture (sw rev check fail bootloader device 3 binary). Help me please. thank you in advance

Well, have you any knowledge about how to flash firmware and the right choice file decision on Odin mode, chose latest Android 10 by the way, if you know the device origin, then chose that firmware origins, try to find out what model phone is that, is it SM-N960F, SM-N960N or what, then chose that kind of firmware to flash.
The phone will not let you flash SM-N960N on device SM-N960F, and if you can't find out what model phone is, then chose several different firmware's one by one till it succeed.
