Hello, I've been having a Note5 for quite a while now. Given that I've been having it for more than a year I've begun to flash custom ROMs and Kernels carelessly without backing-up and just experimenting with the. However, with all of this I've also been deleting my original stock ROM backup(s) along with all the data I had (no big deal, everything is on the cloud).
Now I am trying to find out what my original CSC is, given that with every official (or not) flashing there's a different CSC assigned. I've bought my phone outside of the US and it is unlocked, and I am currently using it in the US (with AT&T services).
After my latest change in ROM to an official one I've been trying to figure out what my official CSC is due to malfunctions in some apps, mainly Google Maps. I think Google Maps isn't working because of some hardware damage, or me screwing around with some system files (not EFS, same IMEI as box), however I'd like to see if reverting back to my original stock region would be changing anything.
I've tried several methods to find my stock CSC, including installing "Phone Info" which shows nothing in the "Original CSC" field. I've also tried using all of the *#1234# or *#272*IMEI# command types and nothing shows up just gives me a problem about "IMM" and I've tried everything to fix that but nothing has worked.
Now, on the back of my phone it says "Made in Vietnam". Does this mean that my original stock ROM and CSC most likely is a Vietnam one (such as XXV) or is it not necessarily implied. I've been having the idea that my original stock rom is from UAE (XSG particularly), however I am not certain. I've tried fastboot commands to get original CSC (all phone info in fact) but it seems like fastboot mode isn't showing my device and just gives me "searching for device" message after I type out a command. I tried getting into fastboot mode through adb command but my phone just restarts to normal screen.
So, is my original CSC the XXV, Vietnam version because it says on the back "Made in Vietnam", or not, given that where it was made doesn't mean where it was meant to be sold. I know that region doesn't matter much as long as I am flashing a stock ROM (or Kernel) of the same type (SM-N920C is mine).
Yeah Please Help Him

After flashing lineage OS and even resurrection remix, phone is unable to detect sim cards.
SIM cards are detected once I restored the TWRP backup file, but aren't detected on flashing lineage and resurrection ROMs.
Please Help
same issue here, lineage wont work, will flash back to stock so the phone is usable
Flash again oraz try another rom

fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
That is the most context-less answer I've had in some time.... "unlock bootloader and erase modems firmware" written in commands.
Device is unlocked, that's why it has lineage...
Now why would erasing modem firmware solve the issue? Was I supposed to blindly erase firmware and do nothing more to solve the problem?
I actually solved the problem by flashing a 26s extracted firmware for my china region x520. I am using g it in Europe. I am not linking the firmeware for 2 reasons: 1. Firmware is closed source/leeco proprietary and 2. Posting might induce non-x520 users to flash and have the same issue I had because of flashing wrong firmware. Even here this firmware is not 100% ok as I had to change a build property for getting calls audio (fluence to none, I think thisbis the VoLTE issue). Anyway, if someonr here has issues, flash your original twrp backup (hope u had one, i accidentally deleted mine from my work pc due to space needs). Or else youre gonna have to find a stock ROM/firmware and bite the bullet for the 1.6GB download. AND IT HAS TO BE FOR YOUR SPECIFIC LE 2 MODEL (e. g. X520, x525 x527, x620... If it isn't you will likely not have SIMs/imeis or call settings will orevent u from having sound due to VoLTE support failure)

Maybe you should do some research about the given commands and what they are doing.
Sounds like you do not understand these commands?
Is there really any difference in the extracted firmware from version 26s to e.g. 21s?
Someone wrote there were no updates in modem firmware since 20s or 21s??

Ok sorry !
Were you replying to me @JamBax?
Anyway, I have no idea about the latest modem images already being in 21S. All I know is most people consider 19S as benchmark for telehpony and VoLTE, since 21S apparently has trouble with VoLTE. I don't doubt 21S is the last one available though, and there might never be a new one. Cheap hardware companies will usually have in-house devs for their custom AOSP, but mostly use manufacturer provided hardware-related stuff (such as modem firmware) or outsource it, so those reach support cycles faster. Granted, it doesn't need so much revisions and polish - the more contained features make it easier to reach its prime. The hardware simply won't improve with code up to a point.
I flashed 26S because it's what I could find in a package that was extracted from the entire so-called "firmware" around this XDA subforum (stock ROM aka manufacturer ROM aka EUI). Saved myself downloading 1.5+GB on a data-capped 3G I currently am using.
I'm likely not gonna try 21S/19s or any other endeavor in this x520 as all I wanted was to have the phone ready and usable as a birthday gift. The present subject will likely never use VoLTE in the life-span of this phone, since we don't have LTE on our village anyway and 2G is staying up for at least 4 more years. They are just happy they can now use Facebook much better than with their old 4.5'', 3y-old crappy Huawei (you know, before they could make half-decent chipsets, even now I still think they suck despite topping synthetic charts for CPU. From personal experience, I still can't trust the performance of any chinese chipset, be it Mediatek, Allwiner, Huawei or Xiaomi, and the only asian-designed thing I trust is, obviously, Exynos).
P.S: the phones were used today to make at least 10 calls successfully. I did not try dual SIM though, single SIMs only. Didn't switch any telephony settings either from the standard menu or the hidden test menu, so I take it the phone is doing 2G calls.
No issues on my side
I have installed Lineage OS 14.1 official, and I have no issues with sim card detection. The signal strength is weaker, but it gets detected at least
Hi guys,
My S5 was on 6.0 and have upgraded to 9 Pie but something went wrong (or I screwed up something) and I need to re-upload the original firmware, unless you have better suggestion.
Currently, I have TWRP installed as well as Android 9, however, when I turn my S5 on, I get: Set Warranty Bit:Kernel
It stays there for 30 secs then the phone boots up and everything looks fine, it connects to wi-fi etc.
One other strange thing is that I get a message on the home screen saying: unsupported SanDisk SD Card
I tried a new one, same message.
Before I started this process, I connected the phone to my PC and copied both the Phone and the Card folders, so I am good, data wise.
Basically I was thinking to go back to the very first OS, I think 4.4.2 and then re-load Lineage 16 using TWRP.
If I read the baseband version # is: G900FXXU1ANCE
If the procedure above is correct, would you be able to provide me a link to download the firmware?
I tried all the known sites, but their speed sucks, so I thought to ask here as somebody may have a link.
I will use Odin latest version to install it.
Thank you!
Alex
Access to the original/official firmware for SM-G900F would be extremely helpful for me as well.
I'm running LOS 16 with pico GApps very happily on my S5, however I have mobile data connectivity issues. Data connects and disconnects at random; this is device-dependent (swapping the SIM into other devices gives fully functional data connectivity).
My baseband is G900FXXU1BOA3; I believe updating the modem might fix this?

Fox, you may download the official firmware at https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G900F/
Select your region to get the right ***.md5.tar file to flah via Odin latest.
This will reset your handheld to out of box - original recovery reinstalled - you must reflash it also via Odin if you want to go back to custom Rom..
Good luck
.
Thank you.
What would be my region?
I purchased it in the US unlocked, but US is not a choice when it comes to region.
Would I be able to see the region the phone is from from the baseband #?

If your reference to the baseband version# is correct -> G900FXXU1ANCE, then the region is BTU -> check this address to download the original firmware:
https://samsung-firmware.org/downlo...agon-__/1806/BTU/G900FXXU1ANCE/G900FOXA1ANCE/
After flash via Odin, reboot and optional reinstall TWRP via Odin to use other custom Roms.
Are you sure you did everything before resuming to scratch. Personaly I would have done the following:
- back up in TWRP (at least data) + back up in google drive if you use google or titanium, (anyway save your picts, ...) if rooted, it is possible to save the file containing SMS, ... search in XDA,
- format (not wipe) !!!! WARNING THIS WILL ERASE ALL !!!!!
- clean install the ROM (lineageOS or else) + optional Gapps (I use Pico),
- reboot and restore data (as shown in 2 above)
(The Roms I use on my two KLTE by personal preference order are Havoc, DotOS, Bootleggers, Resurection Remix, MSM-Extended. I also use LineageOS.

That site is very buggy, if I search my model and enter all the other info I get to Lollipop 5.0, if I click your link, although I am registered, it does not allow me to the link you provided, I mean I can get to it but when I try to login, it takes me back to the home page, so there is no way to get to your same link while being logged in.
How do I get do the download page it is a mystery to me.
Also, how do you know from the base band that it is BTU region?

Men, the subject of resuming to firmware has been discussed and is described in the net literature! e.g. in XDA Q&A.
This discussion is now not a thread anymore but a dialog and I’m sure it will be closed by XDA moderator for redundancy.
The warnings given when you flash a custom Rom are clear. It also implies “before all” to backup, but also keep all materials to resume to original firmware, …. Now I cannot help anymore because you have problem with downloading the firmware.
Last advice – google baseband# - there are probably other web options or torrents
!!!!Also use the thanks button!!!!

1. Its normal to have the "Set warranty: kernel" text. As my device does too. Just simply ignore it. It won't harm your device.
2. Basically you can search websites that had official Samsung stock firmware. Search your region of your device and (IMPORTANT!) your model, in your case, is G900F. (Wow same as mine but different region, Snapdragon rocks).
3. To your network problem, I think you need to wait. There is no other option.
Thanks!

XDA forums has one. Tip: if your region isn't there, the replies have all the filmwares you can have.

I have downloaded the firmware and this evening I will try to upload it and see what happens.
I still I have no answer to my question: how did you figure out that my firmware is BTU?
I mean, I gave you my baseband version #: G900FXXU1ANCE and when you eventually find it in any firmware sites you are given the choice to choose among many countries, expect USA and Canada.
Since I bought the phone in the US I still wouldn't know which country the firmware is from.
Would you mind to shed some light on this?

Also, when I try to format my SD Card, it gets stuck to 40% and then it goes to the homepage.

I tell you my experience:
No matter the country you bought your device. As example, I leave in France, I bought mine in Hong-Kong, but choose an international device (G900F).
Before flashing anything, I checked all information in settings and recovery.
Pict below is original out of box G900FXXU1BOC7
Recovery information after latest update G900FXXS1CQD1
It happened recently 2 times my device was stuck because encription issues – I recover by reflashing original G900FXXU1BOC7 via Odin
I personally downloaded firmware as G900F – BTU, because I check the version at each updates and this sticked to BTU ONLY.
May be the site SamMobile will be more meaningful for you, because you see Countries/Operators and updates history.
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5/firmware/SM-G900F/BTU/
For your device, you have to grab the search to find the closest original (which you have) to latest update (if you have it).
For the Kernel yellow tag at warmup, this is done when you flash TWRP. No issues since 2 years operation with that using LineageOS, Havoc, DotOS, AOSP, Bootleggers, RR, ViperOS. If you flash original firmware, it will disappear because twrp is erased and original stock recovery flashed.

When it said that you go back to stock one to fix it. Then want if it is not stock? The message is still there. Its normal if you want to install a custom ROM other than the stock one. I reinstall the stock and install custom ROM again once. It still happened.
I don't know how to remove the text but still have a custom ROM tho.
As for the SD card message, I encountered times before. Maybe you need to format using the computer.

When I reflash the stock ROM TWRP is still there. However no "Set warranty: kernel" appeared. Maybe its just when you install a custom ROM or something, I don't know.
OK guys,
Lineage 16 is installed, everything went smoothly, however when I connect the USB, the phone just shows as 'SM-G900F' on my W10 PC and cannot be expanded, basically no Phone and SD Card folders.
I can see them in the phone no problem, but once I connect it, I am not prompted with the usual message on what I want to do, like file transfer etc. and on the left menu appears only the model of the phone.
I had no issues when I flashed the original firmware, so it must be related to Lineage.
I also installed the Android USB drivers, but no go.
Changing the USB Preferences, to PTP or File Transfer only allows me to see the phone, no SD.
I also tried a new SD, no success.
I am stuck again... Jeez it takes days to get this stuff to work, you do one step ahead and another back
Ideas?
Alex
Anyone?
Shall I ask the question in the Lineage section?
'Set warranty :kernel' means you are running a custom kernel. Any modified boot.IMG can cause this message. It doesn't mean you need to use stock room. This appears even in stock rom with magisk or SuperSU.
Hello everyone, being new to xiaomi devices, i would like to ask about updating. So my mi8 is currently on miui global 11.0.2 (PEAITTI) which i suppose is an italian variant. My problem is that the updater does not find any new updates despite the fact that there are. So I searched for manual update and found this https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=1 . My question is this is local update used for every factory rom regardless of the area and without the need to unlock the bootloader? And is fastboot update for every rom?
Extra quetion: Do i lose something by unlocking the bootloader except the warranty? (asking that coming from sony device)
Thanks in advance.
I have some experience installing MIUI and I advise you not to "mess" with the bootloader.
There is a condition that your device goes into "Brick" mode. See- https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/help/undo-fastboot-oem-lock-t4126427
by unlocking the bootloader You will be exposed, to some extent, to intrusions into your device by hackers.
The safest situation is to only update the system by OTA! especially that you have an "Italian" MIUI system (which appears to be global).
On the other hand, if you have prior knowledge and experience, you can update your system independently, even though there is a risk, by flashing through software you can find on the network.

I haven't searched further into the subject due to lack of time in the current period and I'm fine not having the latest software as long as the device runs without problems (don't fix it if it ain't broken).
After reading your post again, I guess the "original" rum installed in the mitsosJL device, was installed by the seller who sold you the device.
You should first check if your bootloader is locked or open. (See https://gadgetmeetsguy.com/how-to-check-if-bootloader-is-unlocked/
If you decide to "unlock" the bootloader and install an update on your device, you will find many how-to guides.
I received an update via OTA for my Xiaomi Mi 8 device.
Update Name: 11.0.4.0 QEAMIXM Global.
There are not many changes since most of them are suitable for certain "regions", like China-India and some other countries in the world.
In any case, my recommendation of 02.07.2020 is still valid.
Good day to you.
