also working in slovenia. Not sure if ****ty signal or it keeps disconnecting from network. Probably poor signal
also working in Romania...4G also works....flashed it and no personal data or setting we're modified.
The German rom has custom apps inside or is it free of non Samsung bloatwere? How's the rom? Better than 4.3 any issue?
Also works in Portugal [emoji106]
it also works way down here in Malaysia.

Yes
No. It's official rom. Only customs trigger.
i dont get it. if is an official samsung release why would that raise the flag. I've seen different opinions. some said that if is official the knox will stay 0x0.

OT Records Knox 0x0 or 0x1 indicates new bootloader, when you have old, you haven't any records about Knox. When you have 0x1 you are warranty off

ok. now i'm confused. if knox indicates new bootloader means that even if i update OTA the knox will be triggered. i mean kitkat 4.4.4 has a new bootloader. i think i'm getting it wrong.
I'm only interesting of your 1st question "If i flash the 4.4.4 german rom via Odin will knox be triggered to 0x1?" Because my brotheratlow flashed via Odin 4.3 on 4.1.2, an got new bootloader and told me got Flag 0x1 - warranty off. So I asked above "are you sure? @Rivalen1"
Additional information about knox and bootloaders:
- if you ever flash 4.3 or 4.4 via Odin or updated from OTA you have new Bootloader.
- if you bought your device and you dont know what bootloader you have, turn off your phone,reboot to download mode (hold power + volume down +home buttons) and when is there Knox flag 0x1 you have new and you are warranty off. When Knox flag is there 0x0 you have also new bootloader, but you are still in warranty and when you'll flash any custom recovery, you'll have then Knox 0x1 and you will be warranty off - so it's on your deciding. When isn't in download mode any records about about Knox, you still have old bootloader (btw congratulation ) and don't ever flash via Odin 4.3 and higher firmware - it's a pity.
Edit: now I'm reading here, that is true when it's official firmware via Odin, then knox warranty will stay on 0x0
Can somebody also confirm this?
"This is an official operation as Odin will be used for flashing the stock Android OS. Odin is a program developed by Samsung and used especially on update types of procedures. Also, Odin works only with Samsung branded devices. Thus, the warranty of your Galaxy S3 4G will not get void by applying the XXUFNI3 Android firmware. " This is what android geeks is saying.
Will you try it? If yes, leave here pls feedback . Thank you
original firmware downloaded from samsung(http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) will NOT trigger knox. so happy flashing
@spiderman07 have you noticed bugs ? a general opinion compared to 4.3 pls.

Did you download the firmware from sammobile?
So i flashed 4.4.4 dbt firmaware. everything went fine. i noticed some changes...overall is good. I'll come back with a feedback after I test 'im a little. btw...knox remained 0x0 so after all oficial releases don't void knox warranty.
Hi all,
I have purchased galaxy note 3 in Pakistan and it is AT&T unlocked phone means I can use my own network (Telenor) in Pakistan. Currently my phone is on 4.4.2 and I don't find any software update option in about device in settings menu nor through kies 3. I want to update my phone to Lollipop edition manually.
Things I have tried so far, downloaded ROM from sammobile and it is UK region BTU ROM. Downloaded Odin v3.10 and ran it as administrator and select the .tar.md5 file in AP box. No other options I selected but the default ones. But after detecting my phone Odin starts writing but after some time it failed showing me a message NAND write failed, auth error.
I have tried both Odin version v3.09 and v3.10 but both failed.
What can I do to solve this.
My phone configurations are:
Model: SM-N9005
Android: 4.4.2
Bootloader, Baseband: N900AUCUCNC2
CSC, PDA: N9005ZSUCND2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The n900a has a locked bootloader which could explain the Odin error.
The Sm-9005 and n900a are different phones and att never had the n9005. Is the phone new or used?

Thanks that you replied. I got a used phone. when I check about device, it tells me that Model is SM-N9005 and also removing battery and seeing there model number is same i.e. SM-N9005. And also I am using a different network here in pakistan instead of AT&T, it means phone is unlocked.

In download mode, model is SM-N900A . So, I am unable to install BTU ROM on this model. Am I right??
Looks like something is wrong in that the models numbers do not match. Download mode says 900a and the software says 9005. Something is not right with the phone.
Looks like my phone is SM-900A in download mode. so I can't install UK region ROM on this. So, I think my problem is solved. Thanks to everyone who answered.

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.

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)

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.

I just purchased a Galaxy S5 unlocked, but its an at&t model (g900a, shows at&t logo on boot, has at&t bloatware). I live in New Zealand so I can not use an at&t sim and update to the latest firmware (ph4?). Im stuck on g900aucu4coi5 and I want to update, and I have found a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/galaxy-s5-android-version-6-0-1-t3419016
Can I just flash ph4 with odin 3.11.1 and I will be fine? No chance of brick or tripping knox (assuming i follow instructions correctly)? Also is there a way I can debrand my s5 and give it a stock s5 rom w/out the at&t crap without tripping knox?
This may seem like a noob question but I have followed instructions to the letter while flashing roms on a galaxy trend plus and a galaxy y duos, and encountered problems down the road which led to bootloops. I assume this was because the tools made for them were still in beta for these devices were not popular, but I still want to be safe and keep my new s5 alive.
Thx

You should be able to go up to PH4 using ODIN no problem.
And about the bloatware... As soon as we find a way to root or preroot Marshmallow we'll probably get some debloated ROMs up, but first we have to find a way to preroot (I'm working on it but it's taking the back burner for a bit while I work on other ROMs so anyone is welcome to give it a try)

Yes, and no. It updated, started overheating and the battery caught fire. Rip.
I'm in the same boat as I have an ATT S5 with Lollipop and tried the above method w/Odin and it is now a brick, stuck on the ATT logo.
Are there any working accessible sources fore the ATT stock Firmware for Lollipop in order to rollback this MM update? I've been looking and have found none.
Hi I'm trying to flash the T-Mobile firmware from sammobile.com, but whenever I try, I get an error at 32% when it says Installing System Update. I attempted to flash CSC,AP,BL, and CP with it saying PASS in Odin. I really need the T-Mobile firmware and am wondering if it is possible to do? I determined that I cant install CSC files and get the error when I try. Any Solutions?
SM-G950U
Odin 3.12.3
T-Mobile Firmware:
PDA: G950USQU1AQD9
CSC: G950UOYN1AQD9
I'm having the same problem with an ATT phone flash with the US "U" unlocked version firmware. When I don't flash the csc it will start up only with the USB plug in but shut down after the beginning startup
Search for a "modified Odin". It was what I used to be able to flash unlocked firmware on a 7 and 7 edge a few months ago. The "normal" Odin wouldn't let me do it, but the modified one did. Though you may need to wait until it's been updated....I haven't checked it in awhile.
Still no solution to avoid the error to 32%?
Try this Odin. This is the one I used to flash the Canadian firmware on mine.
I managed with odin version 3.12.5! But only with BL AP and CP!
When I add CSC I get the error at 32%!
So a priori everything works, I no longer have the Verizon overlay (nor the logo at startup) more by cons I have duplicates in the settings menu ...
What is the CSC file?

The Canadian firmware you got it or? On sammobile I find it not:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U/
The Canadian firmware is stock or operator?
I would have access to all the bands?
Its the firmware with the "w" at the end. Please read this thread for all the information on doing this and make sure you want to do it.

so to do this we actually have to go to the canadian firmware first, do the csc change then flash the Tmo firmware? You can't just flash the Tmo Firmware via the modded Odin? Just to save confusion.
I would imagine it's worth it just to get the proper network options, VOLTE, WiFi calling and such.

This is the exact thread that I used. Follow the steps and you can skip engboot. If you flash the full Canadian firmware, its impossible to reverse. So, only flash whatever is in the steps. I successfully went from Verizon To T-Mobile and then back to Verizon. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/switch-to-carrier-firmware-100-t3609487
