Model number does not match Firmware installed - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Good evening XDA!
I purchased a BRAND NEW A7 2016 (on a sale) from a local retailer. It has the out of the box 5.1.1 lollipop installed, and knowing that there are some regions with 6.0.1 already, I tried to update mine. When clickng the "download update manually" button, it shows "Registering Device" and follwed by a "processing failed" prompt. Googling yielded no solutions. Upon consultation at sammobile forums, I recently found out that my MODEL NUMBER and my FIRMWARE numbers are not the same.
MODEL # in box : SM-A710FD * SE Asia Dual Sim version
MODEL # in phone : SM-A7108 (Shown in Download Mode) *Supposedly for Chinese Model A7 (Chinese Android w/out GPlay)
Firmware : A710FXXU1APH3 *Supposedly Europe Firmware installed
Baseband : A710FXXU1APH3
CSC : BRI (Taiwan)
The box was sealed when I got the unit so I really don't know how this could possibly happen.
What's more peculiar is that there is no OEM Samsung Keyboard out of the box (only google keyboard is installed).
So far I have tried flashing A710FD UAE Firmware (Secure Check Fail BOOTLOADER error) and A7100 Hong Kong Firmware (Just straight up FAIL) and currently downloading the A710F Russian MM Firmware for a final try.
Any help or suggestions would be great!

They must've changed the motherboard/case.
Go with what the software says, not the back sticker.

I have the same problem , any one help me

Download Samsung phone info and check the specs.

Same problem .Need help please

Yes , in Persian forums , they said you should install same base code , for example you can install firmwares with same XXU or XCU and you can't flash XCU on XXU or other same situations . it may be cause of Knox or other security reasons or ... on new Galaxy devices
because there isn't new middle east firmware of my device base code , i can't try and don't know if it works or not

Hi. Yes our device are made in Vietnam , but regional Codes are different because of regional languages and some other regional settings.
it has (G530HXXU1ANL4) firmware installed and i want to upgrade to ( G530HXCU1AOA2) or newer one for our regional (middle east) , but base code in here installed firmware is (XXU) and (XCU) of new firmware (look at G530HXXU1ANL4 and also G530HXCU1AOA2) . we can't install XCU on XXU firmware of device and we see fail notification in Odin at start of flashing . but these are for middle east and Persian support firmware and i don't know for other regional , for example we can use some other regional but there isn't our language in that regional firmware , So we have to wait for releasing new firmware for our regional base code
good luck

Did you tried to flash another firmware region from sammobile? because on first firmware update on feb, i tried kazahkstan region and it worked for me in first try flash,.. and on 2nd update on early march i tried indonesian region but it also worked for me in first try flash
Few suggestion says try another computer or another USB slot to connect our device, but i cant make sure that is the problem

which rom now you using
i have model number g530a ud or ez works can u find 4.4.4 or firmware or way to by pass it
It just happened to me, when upgrade over the air and it different on PDA/Baseband , such G350HXCUxxxx then your country G350HXXUxxx, it will be failed and guest what : you're still on last firmware (4.4.4) but your wifi become doesn't work!
So I tried re-flash by odin, and still failed!
The soulution is look at about phone > baseband (PDA), then find one a simillar PDA here : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G530H/
If your baseband is G350HXCUxxx, you have to download G350HXCUxxx too (no matter what it's from another country/carrier).
Then flash your new firmware by odin. Done! You're on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop!
unable to flash 5.0.2 stock ROM
phone is network locked, the only custom Rom that works via recovery mode installation is MIUI. All other 5.0.2 custom rom's installed via recovery fails to boot.
Odin fails to flash 5.0.2 stock ROM, it fails while writing at the very beginning itself
is this normal?
do i need to update kernel and recovery to be able to flash 5.0.2
smartswitch does not detect 5.0.2 upgrade though it is available offline for download (sammobile)
need to find if there is a software method for network lock removal
Update: was able to flash 5.0.2 stock ROM via ODIN but it worked only for a specific region (SKZ) firmware, still there is an issue of not being able to install custom ROM's will give it a try again
Buenas, compre un Samsung Grand Prime (G530H/DS), con error de encriptado pensando que podia repararlo con un recovery o con odin, pero nada!, he descargado ya como 5 firmware y odin siempre me da "fail", dice error del PIT, e utilizado KIES y hasta intente RSD Lite; tampoco entra en recovery para hacer wipe, por ningun lado de lo que he probado me funciona, que puedo hacer?? Aqui le dejo uno de los intentos y lo que parece ...

SM-G8850 Samsung Galaxy A9 Star change from CHC to TGY

I have a Samsung Galaxy A9 Star (SM-G8850) purchased on the Chinese market. Once updated to the latest firmware I get:
AP: G8850ZCU3ASA1
CP: G8850ZCU3ASA1
CSC: G8850CHC3ASA1
Model: SM-G8850/DS
The firmware comes with all the usual Chinese crapware and I would like to switch it to the Hong Kong (TGY) firmware in order to access Google Play Services and use it outside China. I have found the official pages detailing the firmware versions (CHC for China, TGY for HK) and the appropriate page on SamMobile with instructions for uploading a new firmware using Odin.
Is this process safe and/or reversible? Do I need to root or install TWRP recovery first? Are the China/HK versions of the phone hardware-identical? Is there a guide for this for a similar phone that I could attempt to follow, is there anything else I need to consider relating to partition size? Is there a different way to install GApps and Google Play Services on a Chinese market phone? Has anyone tried this before?
Thanks for any help!
Update on progress. Unfortunately this is currently not possible for me since I updated the Chinese firmware from bootloader U1 to U3, and the latest version of the TGY firmware still uses U2. I think it would be necessary to root the phone to downgrade, which would trigger Knox.
CSC CHC: G8850ZCU3ASA1
CSC TGY: G8850ZHU2ASA1
Attempting to flash the old version results in "SW REV CHECK FAIL [abl]Fused 3 > Binary 2"
For anyone who has not yet updated, if flashing directly with the same bootloader level doesn't work, this guide seems likely to work:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/guide-changing-csc-s8-s8-root-t3799045
Using combination files available here:
https://combinationfirmware.com/combination-samsung-galaxy-a9-star
Would appreciate reports from anyone trying this. I will be waiting for a TGY build using U3.
Another update. TGY Build G8850ZHU3BSEB was released, with U3 bootloader and Android 9. Using this firmware, it is possible to change the phone from the Chinese CHC firmware to Hong Kong TGY firmware. The phone changes its model number from Galaxy A9 Star to Galaxy A8 Star. Simply download Odin 3.13.3 and the firmware from https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a8-star/firmware/SM-G8850/ and flash.

Hello,
we bought that phone via eBay Germany. It turned out that the phone is from Columbia (Samsung Chat).
They told us, that we have to travel to Columbia to get the latest Android Version.
Is there an other way to get it to Android 5.0?
