Hi, i have a Note 8 N950XU with Snapdragon, it worked fine with the pre installed Demo ROM, but i installed the N950U Firmware and since then it shows me Security Error: Unauthorized Software has been flashed bla bla bla, as you can see on the attached picture. I even got the original N950XU Demo Firmware and flashed it, but still shows me the same error! Anyone knows how to fix this ? Odin passes through with no error, but the phone never boots up, only the security error. I just want my phone back to working order :crying:
OEM lock?
There was no option to turn it off or on in developer options, is there any solution for this ?

SM-N950XU is NOT a device to be sold to customers, but for retailers only!
Where did you get this device?

Hello. I actually have the same model. I'm wondering how I could flash another firmware to replace it. How can I root and install a custom recovery to this device?

Go to a Samsung Service Point and ask there; or are you afraid to lose your device because Demo-units aren't for sale to customers?

How are people even getting these? Are they stolen from retailer store fronts? These should not even be out in the wild. SMH.

I don't know what that is. It's not connected to any carrier. SM-N950XU
BlueFox's thread:

I believe you would have to use Prince's Odin to so which is also in that thread.
Looks like your just trying to flash another carrier's or other official firmware. Don't need unlocked bootloader or oem unlock for that. Don't know if your version has an unlocked bootloader but I am curious.

Not gonna work on N950XU, that's what the OP is about. These are retailer demo units and you can't just flash other models' firmwares onto it.

I believe they do, but they also have the security check which was tripped by the OP when he tried flashing 950U firmware. The question is whether there's a way to get around it, which I am not qualified to answer. But I am still wondering how these retailer demo units are ending up in private hands.

Right. Probably ex demo units that get sold off before too much screen burn occurs. I don't know to be honest.
I remember reading somewhere the radios don't work on them hence they needed a new main board to function fully. But that was just a random post I'd come across that I recalled.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
I actually recall reading something similar. But I also remember being able to make a call with demo units, could be wi-fi calling though, so I dunno.

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.

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.

No it will not do that. You need to purchase an unlock code from a retailer online that sells unlock codes.. If the phones not been paid off the IMEI will be blacklisted..

there are no legal methods of doing this and XDA does not support nor allow discussions of this sort to occur. It is already known that there are 3rd party sites who offer services to remove sim card locks, lease locks and blacklist removal, but further discussing those things here is forbidden.
I have found a solution to my issue and have fixed my phone , my apologies for not better info but the phone was not a sprint phone and was never used with sprint it was paid for in full from Best Buy .

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?
Thanks,

Flashing /system to remove reactiviation lock
Reactivation lock is activated when the device was reset while wiped via either ADB or Recovery (likely either you or the seller stole it). You will need to flash the newest firmware for your device & carrier using Odin. You can usually find these on SamMobile if it isnt avaliable anywhere else. After its reflashed setup the device without a internet or sim card installed. If y oku have any trouble using Odin there are plenty of tutorials on it avaliable online.

So, ive been on the Transfagarasan, the Transraraul, Sibiu, Brasov, Sigisuara, Castle Bran, Lacul Rosu (The Red Lake) and a few other treasures! We didnt get a chance to make it to Iasi either time yet despite its proximity to Piatra Neamt, which is where we call our home base. I am honestly curious to get your perspective on what are some of the best things to do/see in Romania. Doesnt have to be something like the people palace, i like real stuff. Restaurants that make the best ciorba(soup) and mancare(stew) or just a relaxing lakeside getaway. Do you have any places you think a goofball American might like?

I'm pretty sure you can't downgrade because the bootloader is a different version than the previous version. The number that is shown 5 characters from the right on your Build Number identifies the bootloader version. The May update took me to bootloader version 3. Prior to the upgrade, I was on bootloader version 2. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe you can downgrade once you've updated to a different bootloader.

I haven't tried to tether with this phone.
So, you're saying that if I tether, it will check with T-Mo or whatever my carrier is to see what I'm eligible for?
I guess that was 1 benefit about the Pixels. No checking, just tethering!
Very happy with May update

So, you're saying that if I tether, it will check with T-Mo or whatever my carrier is to see what I'm eligible for?
I guess that was 1 benefit about the Pixels. No checking, just tethering!

If you're talking to me, yes I'm on the USA but I have AT&T
OMG THANK YOU I LOVE YOU! IT DIDNT CARRIER CHECK 👁👁 but I'm not updating to any future updates at this point unless someone else can confirm it turns on still

Here's a work around I found:
Download Activity Launcher from the play store -> go to the search on the top right -> type in "tether" -> it should search for "Mobile Hotspot and Tethering (there should be 3 that pop up) -> choose the 2nd one -> click on "WiFi Hotspot" -> click On.
I don't take credit for this as I found this on reddit. It worked for me and a few others. Good luck!

Thank You soldier.
By the way, folks: you can make this work with Shortcut Maker too. Great app.
Thank You to Samsung for leaving this untouched, LOL.

Other than locking you in so you can't go to an earlier version does it serve any useful function?
