Hi everybody,
I bought a confusing note 5 from someone. I format it from recovery mode because it was runing a custom firmware (viber venom), but i accidentally wiped the system files, so my phone stuck on Android logo, I tried to flash a formal firmware but I surprisingly found that the product name is sm-n920D (look at the attached a photo)
I looked for a compatible firmware but in Vein
I tried sm-n920c but didn't work out too :crying:
Can you smarts help me find sm-n920D firmware, please?

Hi everyone,
This is my first time and I am wondering if someone can help. I have tried everything and nothings far.
I have SG SII few weeks ago someone mentioned that ICS was out so I googled it and followed the instructions which installed i9100xxKP8 4.0.3 version and at the first start the phone does not recognise any SIM card you put. I know I made the mistake not noted down the original firmware number etc.. But I am stuck I can't use Kies to upgrade to the proper O2 upgrade which is out.
Any help would be appreciate it before I bin this lovely phone .
Thank you

Firstly this is the wrong forum this forum is for the Samsung Galaxy S (Not SII/2).
Luckily this is not a phone specific thing all that much.
To get your stock rom go to sammobile.com. Find the firmware that best matches your situation, i.e. country and provider. There are also downloadable instructions. Another thing you could do is go to your correct forum and look for the correct firmware.
To be clear all you have to do is install the stock firmware and your phone should be recognised by Kies. If this doesn't happen then you may have to make another post in the correct thread. A fix you could try (not sure this will work on S2) is type *#262*your imei# and select the correct csc code (Changing the code will reboot your phone and perform a factory reset). Also find this on the sammobile.com website, i think letter codes or something.

Hello there im not shure if this will help you but if you can flash the 2.3.6 and then to the 4.1.2 and get that working it might be possible to flash to the 4.2.2 , without knowing for shure i think that might be some issues "jumping" too far at one time like going from 2.2 to 4.2.2 ( just an example ) ............ as you can read in my post about a different problem + boot loop in my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab/help/galaxy-tab-gt-p1000-black-screen-lights-t2900334 i "think" i might have solved my boot loop problem when trying to flash 2.3.6 by flashing the dbdata file before alowing the tablet to boot into android as showed in the VIO vidoe on youtube.... so what im trying to say is......
try to get 2.3.6 working on your tablet by following.................... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuAgACCWdw8
and then root it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qrwDDd205o
and then flashing to 4.1.2.......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOnhvCcJUKw
and when you have 4.1.2 working you might try to flash to 4.2.2 ?
i hope this helps you. ( there might be a simpler sollution to boot loop problem but dont know for shure ) )
Hi All.
I am looking for help and advice with regarding to re-flashing the stock rom on my wife's Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N.
The phone in quick is 100% stock, it has never been unlocked and or had any custom rom's installed.
The reason why I wish to reflash the stock rom is due to the phone being stuck in a boot-loop, and not being able to access the boot-loader / factory reset.
I have already download ODIN v3.09, But as the phone does not boot and I can not get into the boot-loader to run any ADB or Fastboot commands, I am unable to find out what the phone was running.
The phone is/was on contract via Tesco Mobile here in the UK, But Tesco's have told my wife that the warranty for her phone has expired.
The only information I have been able to find is via the Odin Mode, but this does not give much.
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I8190N
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
HW REV: 0x5

Can anyone here please advice me on how I can find the correct stock rom for this phone.
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards.
Hi,
There's a website called Sammobile where you can download the original firmware of a large number of phones.
Cheers
As said above I do not know what is the correct firmware (rom) to download for this phone.
How can I tell what is the correct firmware (rom) to download?
I have looked on http://www.sammobile.com but there is no firmware (rom) listed for Tesco Mobile.
From my understanding is the the BTU is the unbranded firmware (rom)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I8190N/BTU/
I8190NXXAMJ2_I8190NBTUAMJ1_BTU.zip
I8190NXXAMG1_I8190NOXXAMG1_BTU.zip
I8190NXXALL6_I8190NOXXALL3_BTU.zip
What will happen if I try and re-flash any of the above files via Odin to the phone, if I pick the wrong file am I going to hard brick the phone?
Thanks for your time.
Best Regards.
Nothing bad will happen if you flash any of the I8190N firmwares.
Thank you for your reply.
I saw in another post that there should be a sticker on the NAND flash memory chip with some details of what was flashed into the chip at the factory, I took the phone apart and sure enough there was indeed a sicker.
073110
H49C BTU
HS033741
C-HVT1
I8190NXXA

So it seems that I was right in guessing to go for the unbranded (BTU) firmware / rom.
Thank you !
Hello,
I currently own a Note 5 that I have been using for almost a year now. I live in a Lebanon, a country where we only have two telecom providers, and Sprint is not even one of them.
In my Software Info screen, my model says SM-N920F, but using a boot loader, the model is: SM-N920P.
I tried installing custom ROMS for SM-N920C but they wont boot and get stuck on the Samsung logo screen.
Is there any way I can turn it into a SM-N920C so I can benefit from all the ROMS available for SM-N920C?
It's really hard to find any working ROM for SM-N920F/P ( I really don't know which version I am )
I bought my Note 5 second handed from a local store.
Thanks a lot guys!
I'm not exactly sure, but it sounds like someone flashed a secondary boot image (kernel) for the P model. The settings screen doesn't mean much because any dev can put any device model in the xml, most ports say SM-G955 or SM-N950 which are S8+ and Note 8 roms. If I were you I would try flashing back to stock with Odin, are you rooted by chance?
hello I have the same problem on the settings is the n920f but on the boot loader n920p please if you have found a solution thank you
MY skill with Android flashing: 3/10
Phone Problem: Boots to the very first screen with the phone model and then turns off itself, vibrates, and relaunches..... (repeat repeat). It did use to reach the Samsung screen before my (what I thought was) successful FW flash!
Hey, so im having a mare trying to flash some firmware on my friends Note 8 using Odin3 and pretty much guessing at firmware to fix this phone. I downloaded the latest version that seems to be available.
The phone Model number is not known exactly but its a single sim, UK spec (Carrier: 02) so am assuming it is the SM-N950F
Im slowly downloading fw files to try and get this phone to reboot - but no such luck! is there anyone with enough patience to try and help me install the "correct" firmwares?
I tried with my first attempt and it fails in odin with a message: SW Check boot loader 14 binary 13 (or something along those lines - which I tried a search for here in the forums and was something to do with the compatibility of the bl and fw not being correct)
My second attempt was a success through Odin (Cleared and Pass!) but now it only gets to the very first screen and reboot loops straight away without getting to the Samsung screen.... so not really a success my end!
Can anyone help a Android noob?
Not looking to keep any data what so ever Just want a full factory reset.
Phone last worked properly on 23/24th December last year and my friend hasn't bothered with it since when it bricked.

Hey bro I am not a pro either at this but doing this since quite a time now,
Your first attempt failed because you tried to install an older version of android whereas your device had a newer version installed previously....SAMSUCK does not allows you to downgrade your android model...
Your second attempt resulted in a bootloop , I will suggest you to reboot the phone into recovery and format it once, it might work.....

I can get into the boot menu and have tried all options as in:
Wipe cache partition
Wipe data/factory reset
reboot system now
still stuck in boot loop (1st power on screen)

Like all four options it gives you in Odin. The bl, ap, cp, csc....... using the latest one I could find on SamMobile for 02 carrier U.K. -

It should boot after flashing that, it could be a hardware problem preventing a successful boot :-( Probably worth trying different filmware though, you could try BTU (UK) or XEU (UK & Ireland)
Bro i will advice you to just get over this stock rom and install some custom rom.
You can install a custom recovery like twrp through odin and then using that recovery install some custom rom made for your device.
All these you might find in your device's xda forum.
Brp i just checked and found that galaxy note 8 has plethora of custom roms available just install the one which you like.
You can see the installation process on youtube.
