Hello all,
I've purchased recently a refurbished phone, it stated at the box that the phone is N960F but after trying to flash a new software from samfirmware using odin, I noticed that this phone was N960N and flashed N960F software on it. But after looking in the forum and reading many posts about this, most of the people said that this is impossible to to except if you root and flash a custom ROM. but on my phone this is not the case I tried to see if the phone is rooted but most root checkers said that it's not rooted (except one, screenshots below).
for the current firmware everything is running normally except some features in Spen and a weak signal on most places (didn't have that on my old phone), and the update doesn't work offcourse.
My question is how could this have happened in the first place? and can I flash the official firmware again using Odin without errors?

I'm in the US on T-Mobile with GT-N7000 (LB1 Polish Version?) on (i think?) stock GB, I have CWM, I think I have root because in mobile terminal I can login as super user, and when I plug the phone into Kies it doesn't say anything under current firmware version:

Apparently the phone also has an unknown csc:
Here is my about page:
I really want to update to the official ICS from kies but I can't figure out how. I don't want to brick it like so many others have as this is my only phone and since I'm in the US I don't have a warranty (I bought it off Amazon a month ago). How can I update it?
EDIT: formatting
one thing after another ive tried using flashify but that says partion could not be found but i can still use zip files so i create a zip file upload it to phone then flash it says successful, then i go into twrp manager it says custom recovery not installed ?????
been baffling my head now i must have had to reflash phone 20 times with everything ive been trying. In the past ive flashed a few phones with TWRP never come across these problems before.
any help would be much appreciated
This is what i have been flashing with the global one in middle

Hi Guys
I've N920CD Non Rooted. There is no MM in my region. About 2 weeks ago I flashed MID MM Firmware. All goes well. But using it for about half month i found couple of problems in it so I decided to go back to LP. So question is how to proceed? Is downgrading from MM to LP is possible? If yes then How?should I simply flash a LP Firmware or there is something extra to do?Plz Tell me.
Here is my Phone's current statuss

this process is probably listed in many of the post just on page one! Search is good...
However download the correct fw from sammobile for your device (5.1.1), and use odin to reinstall over MM. Factory reset. Jobs a good un
just that.
No matter the factory resets I do and all its not working.
on options it shows Baseband version Unknown.
¿Is it posible (and if possible) to install the bb only and repair my radio cellphone?

what can I do?
After a long long night, was able to unlock bootloader, dwelling between the many Recoveries available ...many didn't work for this terminal. and finally rooted.
..i'm afraid to change it back to lock or unroot. but all i really need is a working baseband for my area (Latinoamerica, Chile) I really don't want to discard this device since it's still operative beside the baseband issue.
i'm not an expert so many words are just cryptic for me. So if possible, direct me to a kind of guided step by step. I already know how to work with adb (basic) and fastboot and mfastboot, and all that. but for basebands i'm really clueless.

my SAMSUNG NOTE 8 BOOTLOADER AND ROM IS DIFFERENT ! I NEED HELP PLEASE SOLVE THIS . I NEED TO UPGRAGE ANDROID 7.1.1 TO 9.0 HOW ?
Did you buy your phone on Ebay or similar site? It seems your phone is made up from different variants put together to get the phone working. Flashing stock filmware or even trying to root and flash a custom rom could render the phone useless.
is there any solution ?
