Hi,
New to the Forum but hoping that someone can help me. I apologize if there is already a thread regarding this issue.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Active which I purchased off Amazon Unlocked. It is an At&t phone but I am using it in Canada on the Bell Network. I have been unable to get any updates and therefore am still running Kitcat 4.4.2.
I have downloaded the Bell Firmware but Keep Getting the Error Message "Secure Check Fail Aboot" Immediately after each attempt.
I have not been able to find an updated At&t firmware to load and as far as I can tell the Bell Marshmallow Update won't work because My Build version is G870AUCU1A..... Where as the Bell Build Version is G870WVLU1C.......
Is there a way to install this Bell Firmware on my phone ?
AT&T has only released one firmware and the rest of the updates have been ota secure check fail means you are trying to flash the wrong firmware so no it can't be flashed in odin

You would have to flash g870a AT&T firmwares if you can find one

I feared that might be the case I have a lot of hoping that someone had downloaded the OTA however I have been unable to find an AT&T update I am not far from the border if I went to cross into the US would I be able to get the OTA update or would I need an AT&T SIM card as well
This page may be helpful especially look at Samsung kies method

Hi All,
Just picked up my shiny new Gold SM-G9250, and I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread for all of us who own it! Phone has already updated to baseband G9250ZCU1A0D3, and seems to be running very smoothly so far!
Being a Chinese version, there's no Google Services on the phone, so would be curious if anyone has managed to root their phone and get GApps on there yet.
Hope you're all enjoying your phones!
:good:
Hi man!
I'm looking for a green S6 Edge and the only variant that has this color available is the G9250.
So, does it dual sim? or single sim? Does it have any logo on the back saying it is Dual?
Thank you
It's a single sim phone, I'm afraid.
Why are you afraid?
Can you post some pics of your device?
as in 'I'm sorry it isn't Dual Sim.'
Any of you having the low bright and dimming essues ? My s6 edge gets waaay brighter but only outside.... auto or not auto still brightness problems.. software or hardware essues?
I haven't noticed anything yet, but I have mainly been using it indoors - only took it outside for a short while yesterday.
I'm out and about today, so I'll keep an eye on it and post later with what I find.
Still trying to track down root/recovery for this firmware if anyone has been successful? There was a page based on the phone's original firmware, but not sure whether to risk it.

I'm rooted used odin
Nice!
Could you direct me to a link for the files you used?
iGordy101, how did you unlock your SM-G9250? Did it come unlocked?
To the other G9250 users, the Taiwan version of the the G9250 comes with Gapps installed, perhaps there is someway to load it onto there?
Based on model numbers released so far, it looks like only the regular S6 will have dual sim option, but only for limited bands.

Oh Guys! Not sure about the different regions, but the members on MOBILE01 found that 'crom service' in Samsung Apps is the factory bootloader unlock! I just unlocked my bootloader, ROOT, HERE I COME!
---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------
I'm So EXCITED! Samsung provides factory bootloader unlocking!
I posted the details here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...o-bootloader-unlock-s6-edge-sm-g9250-t3086325
Just a quick update.
I also found the CROM service post, unlocked and rooted my Edge. However, the recovery seems to not have taken properly (I'm getting the dm-verity verification failed error when I try to flash a zip or reset the phone). Phone still works fine, but I'm still that elusive step away from getting Gapps running on it!
Haven't had any problems at all with the auto-brightness bug that I can see - perhaps it's a handset issue thing? I'm just waiting for the firmware to appear on Sammobile so I can reflash it and try doing the recovery thing from scratch.
Keep the post updated if any of you have luck getting a working recovery/Gapps on the phone!
Cheers!

How were you able to use the app? My app force closes.
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Premium HD app
I didn't have any problem - found the app on the store, downloaded, it opened and unlocked without issue (and very quickly). I'm model SM-G9250, so it could be because of that.
Anyone had any luck yet finding a fully-working recovery for the AOD3 build? Or any other method of getting Gapps on the phone?
Hong Kong version G9250 , everything is unlocked , single sim and comes with google services. On AOD5 now
That's interesting - is it ok to flash firmwares of different regions between phones of the same model number? HK firmware flashed to a mainland phone for example?
i would also like to know this and if so, how to do it
Apparently it's ok to flash firmware to different regions, but it will break OTA as the CSC codes don't match up.
I've been checking the Chinese message boards, but there isn't currently a working root/recovery for the AOD3 build. Hopefully, some clever person out there can help out with this, as it's way beyond me!
I gave it a try with the HK firmware - didn't work, and soft-bricked phone. Had to flash the original software again. Wouldn't suggest anyone else tries, just in case.
I'm sure the proper files will pop up online soon - no need to rush!
can someone explain the simplest way to get google apps?
ive unlocked the phone using crom, so what is the next step to get google play?
is the simplest method rooting it? Is there a method that works without messing up the phone?
Hi all, I am currently looking for the stock firmware for the Cricket Wireless variant of the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. Any help would be appreciated. I'm currently trying to flash my phone back to KitKat to expose a flaw in the system that would allow me to bypass the reactivation lock. My friend seems to have lost his account and can't recover it so I am doing him a favour and trying to help him out. I know development on this transition device is difficult but I am willing to be patient. Thanks again
I am also looking for this as well as it is my understanding that I need this to get back to KitKat after my phone upgraded to Lollipop which I do not want for certain reasons

I just found a G530AZ for sale on Ebay "as is" seeing it has physical damage. The seller reports it still has 4.4 so I wonder if buying it and backing up the rom on it and posting that here for everyone will work? I just worry about it being automatically upgraded before that can happen.
Also I read on another site that it might be possible that it CANT be rolled back to Kit Kat because the bootloader is being overwritten. Not too sure what that means.
Hoping someone can clarify if going back to stock Kit Kat is even possible and if so should I buy this phone from Ebay? (Or maybe someone more experienced could get it and help us all out and also get more use from it?)
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxcLJPerShJ_ZDJrNV9fRVBSdU0&usp=sharing Here ya go this has kitkat or lollipop choose your folder then download the ones labeled with ALL at the beginning.

I think maybe if i flash the csc from a different variant we might be able to get the option to unlock oem in our developer settings menu as well, I will see if i can get the csc from one of these other variants and maybe give it a shot tomorrow, unless someone that knows more about such things advises against it or if you already know its pointless. Thanks for input but we gotta get this puppy full unlocked as we are missing out on custom roms and recovery on our cricket version.
Well csc flash results in failed out checks need tonedit the aboot to unlock unfortunately

Hello all. I have an unlocked S7 Edge, model SM-G935VC. It's from Xfinity Mobile (yes, I'm an employee). Since the phone is already carrier unlocked, is it possible to just flash the AT&T firmware and have it work with my AT&T service? I really don't want to mess the phone up, but I do not see much of anything on my model # on the internet.
You should be able to flash any us carrier firmware on it.

Hey
I also have the s7 edge through xfinity mobile. Can I root this? I'm only asking because there's no xfinity mobile section on xda yet. If so which carrier thread method do I use?
Thanks
---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------
have you been able to root it? And if so which method do I use or which carrier thread do I go to

Bootloader is locked and encrypted on US Qualcomm devices, I don't think it's possible to flash anything that has not been signed by Samsung themselves.
Does anyone have the stock rom for the s7 from Xfinity? I'm stuck in a boot loop and can't find a copy. Module SM-6930VCC
Hello guys..
I bought an unlocked AT&T S8 SM-G950U and the biggest problem i am facing now is with software update, my device is unable to fetch any updates from at&t.
I contacted At&t support and they in order to receive updates you got to have a at&t connection or else you'll not receive any updates. No manually dowloadable updates are also not avilable. They suggest to contact samsung service center.
My bootloader is also locked as its an Snapdragon US variant, please can anyone tell me that i can flash samsung stock rom on my s8 or not?? and how to do it? Or any other say to download at&t update?

If you have an unlocked S8, then update will come from Samsung directly and not AT&T. Do you really need AT&T's updates?
1) When you check for update, what do you get?
2) Also what is the build # that your phone has at the moment?
Go to the at&t S8 forums. Firmwares and instructions are posted there. I even linked to the latest Odin firmware if you search my posts.

Yes, you are able to flash unlocked Samsung firmware on your device. Read this and ask questions on that tread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3625817
I believe you should be fine by doing flashing from section 1: Standard flashing.

All firmwares for G950U are here. Some are branded some are unlocked. Choose the unlocked one. Do you need full steps?

Thanks for replying.
Yeah sure it'll be really helpful. If ull guide me out.
Facing the same problem, did you find a solution parkarintl?
Download the G950U1 firmware and install it. Should have all the features, no bloat, and faster updates.
Go to Updato.com and search for firmware for G950U1. Download the fw for the XAA variant. Extract all the files, remove .md5 off the end of all the files, flash them with modded Odin. You'll be on fully unlocked firmware and you'll receive future carrier free unlocked updates.
Latest fw: (QH3)

It won't update. He's not on ATT, not an att sim.
Hello all. I wanted to see if anyone could post the build number to the Galaxy S10+ for AT&T (preferably a screenshot). I flashed an update that wasn't for this phone, it worked after a factory reset but when the Odin files hit I'd like to flash back to the original firmware and update again once AT&T releases the update. Thanks in advance.
