Hello guys;
First of all, Let me post my phone software info:
Android Version: 4.4.2
Build Number: KOT49H.G870AUCU1ANG3
Phone Location: out USA
I tried all methods available to update my phone at least lollipop not even Marshmallow! and every time i get the message "The is the latest software update available to your phone"!
I tried the software update inside settings, Kies 3 (also emergency recovery method), Smart Switch, AT&T SIM Card inserted with USA VPN...etc)...non of them worked for me!
Does any one manage to have a legit Lollipop or Marshmallow Odin Stock Flash?!
I saw some methods over recovery with OTA update packages but it is too risky since there is no Stock ROM for the device in Sammobile also i am afraid to brick the device or losing IMEI and no service Box is supporting it!
looking for your help!?

Thats becuz there isnt for att yet. Therr are over the airs for 5.0 but nothing else. And the update to 5.1 but its stock and unrooted you have to be rooted im sure for that and using flashfire for it so it just changes rom and not bootloader . Allowing you to still downgrade back.

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.

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
"secure check fail = bootloader" when flashing metropcs firmware on sprint galaxy s6
I have a Galaxy S6 that was on Sprint. I had Spring unlock it. I am trying to get it flashed to work on T-Mobile or MetroPCS.
I have downloaded Odin 3.12.5 and the latest factory Android 7.0 firmware for T-Mobile G920T and the variable for MetroPCS G920T1 .
I load Odin and click AP and load the firmware. I put my phone in download mode. It shows FRP off and Secure download enabled. I then hit start in Odin. Checksum passes but Odin fails after seconds. When I look at the phone's screen it shows the error "secure check fail = bootloader" .
I have read and read and watched videos, but cannot get past this error unless I flash a Sprint firmware to the phone.
What is weird is I had no problem whatsoever doing the same T-Mobile firmware flash to my Sprint Galaxy S7.
I prefer to flash it with T-Mobile's G920T1 version. But at this point I just want to get it flashed to be used on the T-Mobile network.
Is there a way to fix this error or can I flash the firmware in recovery on the S6? I read something about it but wanted some more confirmation.
Thanks in Advance
Tom
