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.

Complete Nougat Firmware Please

Hello,
Can someone please post the complete Nougat Firmware. It will be 4 separate files the actual rom file, the modem file, the boot file and lastly the csc file.
I would like to switch my unlocked Sprint Galaxy S6 to Tmobile firmware but in order to do so I need these 4 files to flash via odin. I have done this on my unlocked Sprint S7 so I am confident it will work but need all 4 files.

Official nougat for T-Mobile isn't even out yet for the S6. For now, G920T models are getting nougat via custom ROMs such as LineageOS or AOKP

Thanks I guess I need to ask for newest marshmallow files then.

The latest bootloader and modem for android 7.0

Hello
Please help, I'm looking in the topic of the latest bootloader and modem for android 7.0 and so it can be installed via ODIN ..
I found something myself but it does not work and I do not know if it is the latest one, please help.
N920C

What variant do you have? I have the N920i. If I knew how to grab the latest bootloader/modem I'd totally do it for you.

I don't think the bootloader's changed since MM!?
Either way, download a rom from Samdroid. But be warned, to get root - you may need to unlock the bootloader in settings and flash twrp.

I need a file to install in ODIN

ATT Note 8 on Verizon MVNO (Total Wireless) no 4G/LTE

I have a ATT Note 8 that I got the unlocked (with a the unlock code from ATT) and I have activated it on Total Wireless. I have been able to get the 3G, voice and texting to work, but I can't seem to get the 4G to work. I thought that it should work straight away, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It is a SM-N950U with firmware version N950USQU4CRF3. I tried to Odin flash the verizon firmware, but I could not get it to take (Odin refused/failed.)
If anybody could help me with this, I would appreciate it.

i have unlocked att note8, it works fine on LTE with Verizon Prepaid, 40$ for 6gb LTE data.
you have to flash a Verizon firmware with bootloader 4.
i like the unlocked firmware better, it has LTE+ to shows it connected to LTE Advanced and build in caller ID.

If you could link me to the correct firmware, that would be awesome!

here's the unlocked firmware.

When I try to flash it, it fails. https://gyazo.com/c4fd1438dee3d7f2fae1471e255763e0

Any idea why it's failing?

Which Odin did you use?
Comsey Odin or regular Odin?
Did you read the op of that link he gave you?
What's your bootloader version? Does it match or higher then the one you are flashing?
Bootloader version is the 5 number from the right of the baseband version number in about phone/software info.

I was trying to use the patched Odin 3.13 as well as Prince Comsy's Odin (both fail). The guide didn't really describe the firmware version I was running, so it was a bit hard to understand. I have bootloader 4. I have tried the firmware he linked to and I tried the latest Verizon firmware downloaded from SamFirm. Looking at the name of the firmware files, they are bootloader 4.
Thank you

I was finally able to get it to flash using a friends computer. Unfortunately all of the att stuff is still on the phone, I still have no access to 4g lte.

CSC files for Note 8 ( Canada) ?

I recently joined Koodo ( Telus group) and want to flash the csc files for Koodo.
Can someone please direct me how I can extract CSC files from stock firmware and then flash into the phone ?
( Canadian phones are N950W but I have the international version N950F. Hence cannot directly flash the firmware )

Are you rooted? Only way is to root your phone then flash the csc zip from Tkkg1994 thru twrp.

Unrooted don't think you can without bricking your phone.

Check this one out. I know it says for tmobile but there was a post about Canadian csc. (Or I've misunderstood it, anyway). Might be worth a read thru.
