Hello,
I'm from Egypt I bought a note 3 n9005 european sim model
-from settings my phone reads different IMEI than the one written on the phone under the battery.
-The network goes down to emergency call only but never asked me for unlock PIN
-someone installed for me android 4.4.2 that deleted all options like air gestures and all other Samsung stuffs
- In settings menu the phone model n9000 ( -_- )
- I wanted to return the phone to stock settings, firmware and unlock it.
- I think knox already tripped ( how to check it ? )
- I downloaded a file with extensionBTU- N9005XXUDMJ7 (mar.tdr5) 1.36GB + Odin 3.07 + usb driver.
Do I need anything else because it's my first time flash an android phone.
Thanks in advance
Switch on the phone by pressing power+home+volume down. This will take you to download mode. Knox status will be displayed there.
If you are on 4.4.2, you can't downgrade to MJ7.
I have no idea how you managed to get a new with a new ROM.
But you can always try flashing the ROM you downloaded. You don't need anything else. Just read a couple of guides on Odin flashing.

dial *#06# into the dial pad and it will give you the correct imei of the phone

Just don't post your IMEI number here
If your model is showing N9000 it's from a CM build being installed, especially if you lost Samsung features.. as for the IMEI issue we'll investigate that soon as we know what we are actually dealing with :good:

Yup just as I suspected... OK
Follow this
Open ODIN, put your phone into download mode connect your phone, load the .md5 file into the PDA option on ODIN and press start. It will reflash your stock Samsung back to normal.

_these command leads to an error ( sometimes it works and the imei is also different than under the battrey )
-I think that's coz of the region lock

Once you flash back to normal Stock Samsung it'll be better to grasp the IMEI errors, when dialling *#06# into the keypad it adds an extra number with a / mine is /01 iirc. for now, how about we get you back to Stock then sort the rest as we are unsure what is what. :good:

SM-N9005ZKEXSI is your product code. It signifies that your phone is from the gulf.
Just flash the firmware as directed by radicalisto. You'll be fine.

To my knowledge once the region lock is activated that's it, you can't undo it. < Ignore that, take a look at this
The region lock isn't to one country though, it's to continents. There may be some ways around it if you are rooted (which you are) but I'm not the best person to speak to regarding that. Odin being tripped means nothing apart from if your phone stops working tomorrow, Samsung won't be interested.
In terms of the Samsung Stock Software that you are installing, it doesn't really matter what software you install providing it isn't the Exynos version. Because you have the 4.4 boot loader though you MUST flash the leaked polish build. If you install the version that was mentioned above by one of the other posters, later on we can focus on getting you the correct software for your device region if we need to.
I can't tell you much about region lock. Mine came without it.
n9005xxudmj7 is a ROM version. Not a product number.
Since your knox is already tripped, you can easily root your device using Chainfire's autoroot and install the regionlock-away.
But before we get there, we need to get you up and running on atleast some version of TouchWiz.
Did you try flashing that file yet?
Hey peopele finally back to original Firmware thnx all

Hi
Background: I am usually very thorough when buying a new phone. This time I Wasn't well for many days and in the hospital. Urgently needed a new phone and ordered 1 online from a used shop. I specially wanted i9500.. no other variant..
I got one, it said i9500 on the back cover (echted in the plastics and well as the paper... which said made in india.. also the paper/sticker wasn't samsung quality but maybe since it was used, and indian made, i thought ok..
Now I inserted my sim and turned it on... Some chinese s***t! then samsung logo then the TouchWiz.. But there were many chinese apps as well. AND IT DID NOT DETECT MY SIM. Settings say its an i9500.. it felt like a samsung but something was off... In camera, as soon as I took a pic, phone got shut off! Had to take out battery... (btw, it says android 4.42 and when I go to Update.. .Samsung says it cant as device has been modified)
reformatted phone... more chinese sh*t, then Android loads up and there is no play store!
So I downoad a Darky ROM for i9500 and try flashing.. viola!! success.. Android 5.0.1
It said Sim not registered... then that message dissappears and now it shows me FULL SIGNALS but when I try to dial anything, it says Not registered on network! - WHen I went to settings... in device it is now saying:SM-903F (is that a ROM thing or is that the real phone model I have..?)
Can someone please help me.. the phone is very important here in my hosp.. cant type/read a lot of my laptop, it is very energy comsuming
Regards
P.S My location is Pakistan
See if you can enter download mode (Volume down and Power). If you can get into download mode, read off the model number displayed on screen. If you can't, the S4 is counterfeit.
The phone could also be a combination of various parts from different hardware versions of the s4.
Also, check to see if the imei is okay.

Yes bro, I can see the IMEI..
I tried flashing another ROM (TouchWiz) - Still sim is not recognized (but signal bars goes to full.. even if I take out the SIM.. guess thats a ROM issue)
Anyways, still stuck.. Which modem should I try flashing... :|
I was going to suggest a stock 9500 rom from sammobile.com but there are only ROMs for the 9500, not 9500chn.
Googling the model 9500chn links to other people that have the same problem when trying to flash another rom.

The phone model become GT-I9500CHN because of Chinese bootloader that unfortunately very hard to get rid of this stuff.
______
Your phone might be trying to connect to China Mobile or China Unicom that uses TD-SCDMA instead of WCDMA for most regions.
Also, after you install DarkLord S6 port on your device, you'll get phone model on About device as SM-G903F (Galaxy S5 Neo) instead of the normal one for more compatibility (according to the developer).
I would try to check the IMEI online to see if this is original or not (ilegally tampered from other device).

I hate chinese like u do... but this is not cheap
and it is actually a REAL Samsung Galaxy
problem is its GT-i9500CHN - aargghhhhhh - pain doubling... due to me being in hospital. cant go outside to kill someone
If you flashed custom ROMs and them boot, it's not a clone. I9500 performs an Exynos CPU, Chinese clones a Mediatek one, so just for this ROMs couldn't even boot.
All you can do is try to flash a stock firmware from SamMobile, an I9500 firmware coming from China, and see what happens.
By the way, I think this guy bought a Chinese (Genuine) I9500, then rooted it for install Google Apps, that would probably be the reason of the GApps disappearing after formatting (as far as I know, Chinese phones have a backup partition where an emergency copy of the stock firmware is located, I don't know if Samsung does this as well).
For the SIM problem, it's probably simlock, and it probably works only with a determined Chinese operator (or, again, it probably doesn't supports Pakistan's signal bands).
All you can do is check your IMEI on some dedicated site and see if it's simlock, then if it's not, check if the bands that your phone supports are compatible with Pakistan ones.
Sorry for my bad english.

Again, China's bands are TD-SCDMA, not WCDMA as we use mostly over the world.

Once again, GT-I9500CHN is just from the bootloader. Installing any GT-I9500 firmware should work.

I bought this phone from the USA about year and a half and I'm using it in Macedonia, Europe the whole time. It is a dual sim, but I'm not sure which country it is exactly from, Taiwan maybe I guess?
The model is SM-G935FD and the Baseband version shows: G935FXXU1APB6.
I tried updating it manually, but always says you're using the latest software version even though android 7 has came out a long time ago.
Can you tell me:
1. How can I update to android 7 ?
2. Why am I not receiving an update automatically, even though this feature was working when I bought the phone. I was getting regular updates automatically ever since I bought the phone up unti a point when the 7 came out.
3. If I update the firmware through an SD card or whatever method you suggest its best, will I continue receiving regular updates automatically after I install the v7.0 ?
4. How can I check what country is this phone from?
Lots of questions, would be glad if someone can clear these things up for me so I can understand better how this works with samsung and different countries models etc.
Thanks up front!
try smart switch on PC to update it... frend of mine had s7 flat and no update via mobile phone, as soon as I connected it to pc and turned on smart switch update came out...

I'm sorry for my noobish questions, but can you please explain to me how to choose the country of my firmware? Do I need to choose a country which I currently reside in? Or do I need to choose a country for which the phone was made? I just want to use English language, even though I use it in Macedonia, Europe.
Please kindly advise. Thanks!
1. How can I update to android 7 ?
i had the exact same problem as you smart switch n ota both said i was on latest software. All you need to do is goto sammmobile download firmware for your s7 edge model if your phone is non carrier or unlocked then you can download any carrier version. after that download Odin n Samsung drivers n view an odin flashing tutorial on YouTube.
3. If I update the firmware through an SD card or whatever method you suggest its best, will I continue receiving regular updates automatically after I install the v7.0 ?
I am getting all the 7.0 updates.
4. How can I check what country is this phone from?
if i remember correctly Its written on the smartphone box although u don't need to worry about the country all you need to know is the model number.
But to tell the truth there is no performance difference only ui change but still if u want to be on the latest version then use Odin. good luck.
I have flashed my s7 edge about a dozen times n haven't faced any flashing problem just be sure to use original cable n try not to use the computer while the flashing is happening. use odin in adminstrator mode n if possible kill extra background processes like chrome etc (not needed but i still do it just to be safe)

Just checked my phone with PHONE INFO app and there seems to be no CSC code?! All these field are empty:
Original CSC Code: blank
Firmware CSC Code: blank
Active CSC Code: blank
Available CSC Codes: blank
CSC Country: blank
I tried dialing *#1234# and it says:
"USSD code running"
but it shows some kind of error right after:
"connection problem or invalid mmi code"
and does not enter the menu with the CSC code. Tried restarting the phone, switching sim cards and what not.. Nothing worked and I have no clue what my CSC code is now.
My original box is gone and can't really see what country it was made for, but as far as I can remember it didn't say anything on the box. The title of the original amazon.com listing says: Internationally Sourced (Middle East/Africa/Asia) Version G935FD which doesn't say much.
I don't know what to do, I'm a bit scared to flash it with just about any country firmware. There's got to be a way to find more about this phoe CSC?

Download cpuz app from play store. From the app you will find what is your phone chipset. If it is exynos download any 935fd nougat firmware and flash it with Odin.basically 935fd is a unlock version. it's support all csc version and you will also get update how much I know.

I've just purchased s7 edge mobile it's not a brand new one and working perfect without any issues. But I'm confused about its version.
*In about phone menu the model number is SM-G935F
*The baseband is G935FXXU1BPIA
*On the back of the phone it' written SM-G935F
*While in download mode it's SM-G935V
*In samsung phone info app the Manufacturer/Brand : Samsung/Verizon and the phone model is SM-G935F and firmwares CSC code is VZW and CSC country is US and bootloader version and baseband are G935VVRU4API3 which is different from what is written under about phone menu.
* Update software option under about phone is absent.
*The hardware/board : qcom/msm8996 [64-bit]
*GPU : Qualcomm Adrenaline 530
*By checking IMEI it's correct and belongs to s7 edge.
Now I cannot update it through the OTA and I don't know what is the correct firmware to flash and can I use engineering kernel to root it.
It's clear the phone is SM-G935V depending on the CPU and download mode ..please help I afraid to flash wrong firmware and brick it.

I'm pretty sure it's not fake every hardware is working perfect the camera is awesome, fingerprint sensor is perfect and cannot be deceived , screen is perfect, heart rate monitor and spo2 sensor is working, I tested it in water and it's water resistant even in antutu benchmark it's recognized as SM-G935F and achieved high score 137197
It's a fake clone for sure.

It does not make sense to me at all... All of these things can be there in the clone too..(hardware can be faked in apps like antutu etc) ill have to take your word for it about the quality of the camera.. my suggestion would be to go to your local phone shop and compare it carefully with a display model..
have you tried connecting it to Smart Switch? it should get the right firmware for you
has knox been tripped?
does it have working knox apps installed like samsung pay etc?
It's not fake, Fake one has bad camera and fingerprint sensor can be bypassed by any not registered finger and has different CPU not snapdragon.
It is connected to Odin and identified as samsung, Fake one cannot be connected to Odin.
Screen quality is identical to the one in local store.
After testing It's water resistant, Fake one is not water resistant.
AIDA64 says it has LPDDR4 ram like original one.
Rear camera sensor is SLSI_S5K2L1SX which is samsung isocell sensor.
Every hardware indicates it's original s7 edge but how did they manage to change the firmware to G935F.
Finally it has a working samsung pay.

Exactly lol
did you try smartswitch? i think you will get your answer from there.
Also the baseband under your about phone section of your phone is Taiwan (BRI) G935FXXU1BPIA for a G935FD i think

Thanks for reply. I'll try smart switch when I go back to home and will inform you.
It just seems ridiculous to me that the back of your phone states its a g935F when its a g935V and being as its still water resistant then i doubt the back glass would of been replaced also
Good luck friend :good:
Hmmmm wow idk how that happened remember the days when we could pull out the battery and know for sure haha bt I would say download the Samsung phone info app in the play store and check the the hardware if it's snapdragon(qualcomm) its a 935v bt if it says it's exynos it's a 935F that way you will know what is safe to use

This is what Samsung phone info app says:
*Hardware/Board : qcom/msm8996 [64-bit]
*GPU: Qualcomm Adreno 530
*Total Ram: 3.34 GB
After all I can say it's an original Samsung phone SM-G935V version depending on model number in both recovery and download modes and hardware profile in Samsung phone info app and AIDA 64 app and presence of Samsung pay and other Samsung own apps like s voice ,Samsung health, Galaxy apps, Samsung Gear, recognized in Odin and Knox app. Also camera quality, Fingerprint hardware and screen quality are excellent.
Knox is not tripped and the phone is not rooted.
BUT someone did his best to change it to G935F by changing the back cover to the one of G935F and he was clever enough to keep water resistance property but I cannot understand how did he manage to change the data under about phone menu to deceive people it's G935F version may be because this is the desired version.
This is CPU-Z validation report
One more thing the firmware is deployed and there are no any verizon apps nor verizon splash screen.
Is it possible to be flashed with G935F firmware then flashed with G935V bootloader and baseband after that because that information in AIDA64 is :
Baseband: G935VVRU4API3
Boatloader: G935VVRU4API3
Build ID: MMB29M.G935FXXU1BPIA

Is it possible to be flashed with G935F firmware then flashed with G935V bootloader and baseband after that because that information in AIDA64 is :
Baseband: G935VVRU4API3
Boatloader: G935VVRU4API3
Build ID: MMB29M.G935FXXU1BPIA

Allegedly there are if you have a look on YouTube theirs a few videos about converting a verizon phone into the g935F with a modded firmware... however they all ask you to pay for there work and i don't believe them lol.
Maybe its a refurbished model that Samsung themselves have fixed and sold on?
Tbh it would not surprise me as they have recently been accepting trade-ins for the new s8..
but to fake it being a g935f seems totally reckless to me.
if the back glass has been replaced i highly recommend never water testing it again lol
(do all g935V say g935f on the back?) im not sure
as you said all signs point to it being a g935V
Edit: also if you did flash F firmware with V bootloader you would still have the verizon boot screen (even if it was possible)
It's definitely a 935v since its has Qualcomm hardware if you bought it refurbished then whoever did it messed up or something you should be okay to flash any Verizon or U firmware without issues

I have no courage to flash or root it and the safest solution is using it as it is and will replace it for dual sim version G935FD.
I cannot return it back because it was purchased from Kuwait and I live in Egypt.
use smart switch and emergency software repair option, and see what will be the initialized version ... you dont need phone for this, just enter info in smart switch

I'll give it a try
Same problem as you bud, my BL is G935VVRU4API3 while my PDA and CSC are G935FXXUBPL2 and my BB is G935VVRU4API3 and my csc code is TGY. Been wanting to flash it to nougat but the manual option for updating is also missing. From what I have read is that i have a G935V but with an G935F overlay. Ive come to accept that im never getting any updates cuz i purchased this phone second hand. Also in phone info it says "product code not active" and my S/N is 000etc. But all functions work fine except for privacy mode yet my knox hasnt been tripped. If anyone has any advice on what type of firmware is safe to flash on to it, it will be much appreciated.
Please someone help me, i was updating my s7 edge duos to 7.0 after that i cannot join network, wifi works well and got signal also but cant connect for some reason shows Emergency Calls Only i tried many roms and with every single i got no network, nothing helps.. when i check dial 06# my both imeis are OK and nothing is wrong with it..
maybe i flashed wrong modem or something and how can i repair it now? please help
Provide more details of your phone , are you using original stock rom ? Or rooted custom rom? You may try changing sim , or wiping cache partition in recovery , if that doesnt work only option is factory reset, also tell if your update was successful without errors ? And use the same firmware as your current region , and also check if your phone is carrier locked , then you need to unlock it to work or use the same carrier firmware.

Hi Bachimpek
Seems like you need to patch your certificate , try to downgrade to 6.0.1 and see if phone can connect to network if that doesnt work then you need to patch your certificate with a box like "z3x" or "octipus"

So , you want to downgrade ? Just download a complete firmware file with all files included and flash it with odin, it will downgrade , if it solves the problem , maybe stay with it instead of nougat.

Don't seems so , you need to repair it in z3x or octoplus box , but if network was working well before update to nougat , it should work when you downgraded again to 6.0.1 , so i guess its some certificate issue , but you may check some setting and try to search networks manually and try changing network type to 3g/2g , 3g only , 2g only. Also try checking different sim cards. If it did'nt fix then you have to repair by box. Good luck
