I recently had to change my Note 4 motherboard as the previous one suddenly went off and refused to come on. On the new one, i found that the model number says N910F. However, in odin mode, it says N910T, i downloaded 6.0 firmware for N910T to upgrade the phone but it has been stuck in T-Mobile screen since then. I will attach screenshots i took before upgrading the phone to this post. Thank you

Hello every one here is my story
i bought G900F HongKong Version.
started the rooting method as in this Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044
after reading and collecting the file, i restarted my phone to the download mode, and there i found the gateway to what seems to be a new phone nightmare.
in the download mode it show the model G900A (not G900F) the phone is brand new came with all G900F package and software. i also checked the IMEI and it show that my phone is G900F.
an hour ago i decided to go with rooting method in the above link, but odin wont flash the kernel. so i posted the issue in the above Thread, and i been told that my phone bootloader might be looked, and in this case its not G900F but instead it G900A, also i been told to search in the AT&T on how to check my boot loader status, but i could not find any clue, also google has no info on how to check my bootloader status.
Attached some photos of my phone details via Phone info app, and also attached the error from the download mode on the phone.
So fat my phone is still a live, i have not put my sim card inside yet (need to change it to nano sim first)
Thank you all

according to the BL screen its an G990A (which is the AT&T US model complete with Locked bootloader) but according to the other screens it seems to be a Canadian version which i believe is a W8 the baseband is ND3 which either the Canadian or U.S. model have. unfortunately it look like you may have bought brick. Try using Odin to flash everything back to Stock but Im not even sure what firmware to tell you to look for. my best guess would be to go by the Download screen and use the AT&T U.S. firmware try using this thread as a guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55133105&postcount=1

Thank you all for your replies, i talked with the seller and even he does not know how this happen, my guess it might be a refurbished phone, anyway i am returning it, and will try to get G900F European version.
Hi everyone,
So I recently bought a softbricked note 4, that would hang on the at&t boot animation. As I was trying to solve this, I noticed the model number behind the battery and on the back cover was n910t, so I thought it to be the tmobile variant...
However, all I ended up doing was deleting /data and it booted into setup, working perfectly. When I go into about this device, it shows n910a as the model number. When I plug it into smart switch, it shows as n910t, with n910a showing as the model number below it.
I would like to install root and custom recovery, but attempts to flash in Odin do fail, so am I safe to assume that this is for sure the at&t variant with a locked bootloader? What gives with the mismatched model numbers? Does anyone else have something like this?
Thanks so much

What the model number shows in odin download mode N910A or N910T ? If it shows SM-N910A then it's AT&T note 4 and its not rootable.
In download mode model number is the correct original motherboard model.
ignore the sticker behind battery and smart switch it could be refurbished with fake software.
Unfortunately for me, it does show N910A in download mode, despite what the sticker and back of the phone say, so every attempt I've made to flash in Odin failed, except for updating from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1. I really appreciate your help - I thought originally that perhaps it was in the boot loop because someone tried to flash an at&t rom onto a t-mobile variant. Anyway, glad to have that sorted! Thanks so much

go to dial pad and *#06# match that imei with the sticker, looks like someone switched the sticker then take that imei to swappa imei to check it will tell which model that imei belongs
In less than 60 days I'm on my 3rd Note 5 and am out almost $900. PLEASE HELP!
I bought an unlocked, used Note 5 n920I (3rd phone) from swappa to replace my Note 5 n920A (2nd phone) because it can't be rooted ( I still have the 920A). I bought the 920A (2nd phone) because I got drunk and lost my original Note 5 920I (1st phone - lost, don't have this phone.)
N920I (3rd phone) arrives today. All seems great, I go to check pertinents notice the device status is "Custom". Ignored that.
Somehow I'm stuck on FRP blue screen. I only know the android number thing is 5.1.1. ummmm - what do I do?
Hi, you can try to download TWRP from here: https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote5.html and then flash it with Odin like this: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-using-odin/ and then after that you can boot into the twrp recovery and use it to flash a custom rom. After you flashed a custom rom it should boot up normally.
:good:
SOLVED: I downloaded the newer odin from your link (I was using 3.09) and was able to flash the stock ROM. My device status reads OFFICIAL. Don't really know what happened or why, but THANK YOU!
Morning there,
I've been reading all I've been able to since Monday here and also from search results in Google, but I still haven't got a clear idea if this is possible or not.
I live in UK and I've bought a new Galaxy Note 5, which I received last Saturday, the phone works fine, but it has a N920V firmware on it from Verizon US, and I want to get Android 7 on it.
Verizon hasn't updated the firmware for this phone since January this year, so no Android 7 on their network, at least I can't find any firmware on SamMobile.
I've downloaded Android 7 for it, but firmware N920C (for Turkey it seems...), I've tried to flash it with Odin v3.12.7, the phone has the FRP lock as OFF and I've gone into the developer options and turned ON usb debugging and OEM unlock, but Odin fails to flash it, I can still boot up the phone and use it as normal after Odin fails no issues, I just cannot flash it.
I don't want to root the phone, and I don't want to install any custom recovery or custom ROM either, I just want to install Android 7 and if possible have a firmware with less bloatware, hence I downloaded the N920C. I downloaded the latest N920C firmware available out of the 6 there is available, so if anyone here knows that I can use any of the other 5 and make it work I'll be happy anyway...
As always, many thanks for yourhelp in advance
Just contact me via whatsapp, and ill guide you. Because ive been pass the same problem with u.

Can you explain it here? I don't use whatsup, sorry.
I've flahsed the phone with the latest Verizon firmware from SamMobile, I tried to flash it again with the N920C but didnt work.
Now with the latest Verizon firmware it always throws me an error when I restart the phone saying that the "SIM is not from Verizon", but still works on my EE SIM, so not too worried about that.
Also, I see now a red screen with Verizon name when I restart it, something I didnt have before....
Anyone knows how to get rid of these 2 things? or better even, how to flash the N920C firmware to it?
Thanks
hi, i tried flashing my note 5 to nougat using SM-N920V-VZW-N920VVRS3CQK1 with Odin. when the phone starts it shows the red page with verizon logo and then an error message. initially my model number was SM-N920V and lollipop 5.1.1. But at the back of the phone its written made in vietnam. After some online reading, am thinking my phone should be a cloned version, and that's why flashing the original verizon upgrade doesn't work. which means if originally my phone is not sm-n920v, then i dont know which firmware to use. what can i do???
