hello, umm I'm very new to this, consider me a noob for forums, but I really had no other ideas on who to turn to... so my apologies in advance. so, recently, I discovered this whole thing, I didn't even know how to work it out until couple of tries, until I managed, to, but, in the end, what happened is: my first rom to ever install I think was FloydQ if I remember, but, then when I wanted to restore to official firmware, I got an error when using Odin, so like, what happened in FloydQ installation was, I got to the part where it asked me to select a csc code, which at the time i had no idea what it meant, and I chose a random code for OXA, and my original code is ILO, but the issue is, I downloaded endless firmwares for ILO, but none of them worked, always ended up with a fail in Odin, I just wish to restore original firmware with ILO csc code, but no matter what firmware i tried, it just didn't let me.. please some help here? I could really use some.. any help will be good enough much thanks to all who can, best regards, and God bless...

Hello XDAs,
After reading that Forum with much enthusiasm for a few...well...years, i got my first question.
I hope you can help me with a big problem on my g800f: I can´t register in network.
When I search for network it pops up a few results, but if choose one to register, it says "Can´t register. Try again later."
I did a few hours of research and found out it might have something to do with my IMEI (Note: till that day i did nothing to my phone, except cf-autoroot. But never faced any problems!).
So I checked my IMEI and it wasnt the original, it was changed to 350695200123951. So I googled a bit and realised it might have something to do with the efs-partition. Googled for solutions.
Found out it might help to flash a Stock-Rom, one with three parts, via odin so i did it. Everything worked fine, but my IMEI still was the different one.
I was a bit irritated so i searched for that IMEI. And there are a few threads (some in russian and arabian), also owners of a g800f, which also reported this problem: They did nothing, but sudddenly the IMEI changed to this number. One author tells he received a myserious call from the ukraine after this happened. He didnt answer it. I am quite sure i also received that call- I didnt answer it either.
So i googled even mre: "How to restore a damaged efs-partition, without backup?" I came to one very outdated guide which wanted me to delete the efs (after saving it on externalSD) and do a few mysetrious actions...
Well, i just realised i cant fully delete the efs, its not possible and i also cant apply my backup from external sd. Anyone knowing a solution for this?
But, the most important, how can i bring my g800f back into mobile network?
Or just: How can i get away from that cursed IMEI?
Any Ideas?
P.S. If you got any questions regarding technical details of my phone(CSC, AP, Kernel, Modems), just ask. I´ll answer.
P.P.S I´m excusing for that horrible english. I googled the entire night and i´m german.

I´ve just seen this problem being reported i a different thread. Guess the problem will be discussed there?
Hi All,
Did any one actually get a fix for this issue as I have exactly the same problem, my SM-G800F IMEI now also shows as - IMEI 350695200123951-01 which is for a blacklisted NOKIA 6310. If anyone can supply an absolute beginners guide for me as to how I can get my original Imei back that would be fantastic.
I am just a user of an android phone and have zilch experience of tinkering with them.
I have seen reference to things like Odin and flashing firmware and am quite happy to give it a go myself and learn
I will post this on a few other threads that list the same issue as I am desperate to get this fixed now as is a waste of a perfectly good phone !!
Cheers.
SM-G800F, can't register in network
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. Since some month I got the message "can´t register in network". After checking all, I found that my SM-G800F IMEI has changed to a NOKIA 6300 IMEI.
If anyone knows a fix for this issue (set back to the orignal IMEI) , it would be great. All apps which I could find didn't work (XPOSED IMEI Changer Pro , Mobile Uncle Tools App, MTK Technikmodus... ), are not supporting S5mini.
I don't have a backup of the original system EFS file.
Would be great when one could help.
Regards
Chris
@S5miniChris somewhere in XDA I read that restoring the original stock (multiple part) firmware might or did help.
Gotta do it in Odin (recommended to use an older version like 3.09).

Thanks for your reply.
I have installed the original stock firmware. But it did not change the IMEI. Available for my model is only the single file " G800FXXU1CRG3_G800FDBT1CRE1_G800FXXU1CRG3_HOME.tar.md5"
Multible file firmware I couldn't find.
A manual modification of the IMEI should be possible with " Best smart Tolls " e.g. : BSTPRO 4.03 . But for the software a dongle is requiered. To purchase this is for one time use too expensive for me

Where from did you get the stock?
Samfirm_reborn tool already tried?
https://github.com/ivanmeler/SamFirm_Reborn/releases
Checking "binary nature" or "factory mode" downloads a multiple part rom.
Edit:
Checked tool and it's working.

I flashed now also with " binary nature " firmware downloaded with SamFim. The IMEI is still the same, it hasn't changed to the orginal IMEI.
I really can't believe that a firmware update will flash the E2PROM where the IMEI is stored. Therfor the orginal IMEI must be stocked some where
in the phone and by flashing transfered to the E2PROM.

Hi, I have a Galaxy S6 unlocked, before was with T-Mobile. It was rooted and has a problem with service. Always that I was trying to connect with a network says "No Registered". I heard that updating my S6 will help, so I used Smart Switch to do it, I did a backup of everything before starting, but when the installation finished, a litlle message appears saying that I have to install DRK first.
I don't know anything about it and I got scared because I dont know what to do, I hope someone can help me, and if it was a post of this before, please forgive, but I gave up searching for solutions.

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Good Luck!

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
DRK Issues tend to be fixed by using combination firmware. It tends to live in either The Modem Firmware, or in the recovery image. Flashing the Combination Firmware for the bootloader revision tends to fix this problem. I've only seen it not fix the issue like one time because it was a modified combination firmware to begin with.
I bought a tmobile carrier locked S10 from Samsung, then I ended up unlocking somehow, but now I can't reverse it.
I have TRIED EVERY TUTORIAL! This picture is all that happens, it never progresses. I"m using the modified Odin and all the correct files for the TMobile variant. Please, for the love of god, help. Countless hours reading on here has yielded nothing. I beg you.
Bump.... Everytime I do this it fails.... Please help.
Just a guess, but have you tried a different firmware package?

I used the one on the megathread and it always either never progresses or fails. I've used ODIN in the past no problem, this time it won't work.
Just a noob suggestion but, have you tried Frija to download the firmware and flash it?
So i´ve been locked in the KG State Prenormal for about 2 months now, two weeks of it i kept the phone connected without rebooting or removing the SIM...
I´m on my limit right now, just a few sights of the word "Prenormal" away of smashing this pieceof sh*t (1000 euros piece of...) against a wall... the use of an hammer also crossed my mind...
I´m about to give up, and sell this pos to buy a phone that actually would belong to me and not to the brand that sold me... Cause Samsung is NOT that brand, also i might never buy anything from these control freaks psichos again... anyway i digress...
After testing all guides i could find, flashed several ROMs i realized that the mistake i made was to update to binary 4... now i´m stuck...
Anyway, after all this, i stumbled upon this file "COMBINATION_FAC_FA81_N960FXXU4ASJ2_FACFAC_CL13996359_QB26885160_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar" that i actualy can flash, but can´t do much else with it...
It has binary 4 and is a very slimed down version of Oreo 8.1. I can install custom binaries, including TWRP, but can´t boot to it.. the phone just reboots.
I can even flash the magisk_patched AP i got, but then the phone wont boot at all. Can´t overlapped it with my stock rom cause then i got the error that the binaries are mixed up...
Not even with the Oreo ROM cause the binaries wont match...
Once in the OS i can access lots of hardware tools, but can´t install any apk...
So i wonder, What is this crap for? How can i use this?
Anyone here used a Combination file before? For what?
As i guess i have a few more tries before i just smash this phone, any new tips regarding the KG issue are also welcome.
Special thanks to bober10113 for the incredible patience he has proven to have...
Also to Mr. Ketan, that despite his very detailed and awesome guides, i just can´t seem to get rid of this crap... Thank you for all your amazing work that certainly saved a lot of other users... just not me...
And people, DON´T GIVE REMOTE ACCESS TO YOUR PC TO ANYONE CLAIMING THAT HE CAN HELP YOU.... You know who you are! Scammer!

Combination file is used mainly to remove google account locks or some other kind of locks, also to downgrade fw versions.

Thanks for replying
Can you explain HOW can make a downgrade of fw?
I updated to version U4, and at this moment can´t flash fw U3, because Samsung...
I tried to to flash U3 fw over this Combination file, but always got the error "...Device 4 Binaries 3..." even without the BL file on Odin.
In fact, even when flashed individually, BL, AP, CP and CSC give that error.
So, how can this file help me?

Hi, I tried flashing my galaxy watch 3 (SM-R845F) with combination software (to then proceed to all the necessary steps in order to change CSC), but after all the flashing process went through, I received a fail message. Now my watch is bricked and I understand there could be an etoken issue that somehow needs to be taken care of, yet not sure if this applies to my specific case. Could anyone help? thx
More details...
For instance...
A
Filenames... because more then 1 file exists...
B
netOdin and also Odin "talks" to you... this called Logfile...
B.1
To capture this log...
Photo and or Screenshot...
B.2
This is f. text... you can Copy and Paste
C
Please define bricked... especially in your case...
Watch is not more swimming? Flying? Or cooking?
Tiny hint...
With Crystal Ball on...
Your Combination Firmware was still with meta-data folder...
Best Regards
Hi, thx for your help. Things have evolved a bit. I was following technoproz's video (
) to see if I could change my CSC in order to get samsung pay working on my SM-845F . I hence started flashing it with the combination file (COMBINATION FT55 R845FSQU1AUB1, I also tried with 3 or 4 earlier releases, same issue) but on reboot it would initially get to a splash screen (can't remember what it would say) and then was permanently hooked onto a boot loop . However, on reboot, it would allow me to access the reboot menu, get to wifi hotspot mode, and I was able to connect it to odin ( I use netodin 3, 1.0) . I reflashed it with it's firmware (R845FXXU1CTJ5 Tizen 4File) and the watch is now working again (maybe just a few changes from the version it initially came with). Unfortunately, when I check the logfile, it only registered the last activity, in this case, my firmware reflash (so nothing related to the previous combination flashing), which went fine. Was wondering wether the initial combination flashing bricking/boot loop issue could be related to some flags I would need to check on the otions tab in netodin..
However, my issue still remains unsolved, i still can't change my CSC to italy (that's where I am right now) to setup samsung Pay, but most of all to set up the esim.
Thanks for any suggestions
