Hi guys.
I am new here.
Can you tell me what should I need to check to change my Android Firmware.
I have S4 i9500 GT Probably China.
model : jftlespr
Android 4.4.2
CSC = CHN
PDA = CHN
Recovery mode : TWRP
I want to updrage to Android 5 but in my phone there is no Software Update Option in my Phone.
Later I downloaded an app from Play Store name " Phone info : Samsung" . This app shows all the info about my phone.
There is an Option for firmware checking on this app and this app gave me options for "I9500ZCUJOH2_I9500CHNJOH2_CHN" . This firmware is downloaded in my PC but Still I need to check before bricking my phone.

What is the model number in download mode?
I don`t understand you.
I have S4 I9500 GT
PDA & CSC of my Phone is CHN
Current Firmware is : I9500XXUFNB7
and "Phone info : Samsung" app from Play Store gave me suggestion to use this ROM : "I9500ZCUJOH2"
And the suggested Firmware in downloaded in my PC but I haven`t installed it yet.
Also I need to know that will I lose my IMEI after installing.
Download mode will tell you the exact model #. I don't trust software to do that.
If the phone is from China, you may be very limited in terms of ROMs that can be flashed to the phone.
How can I give you link of my uploaded image. I am new member I can't post links here.
Boot into download mode and get the model number from there. Your post had conflicting information as the gt-i9500 was never sold by sprint yet the model is jfltespr.
Power off the phone completely by removing its battery for 5 seconds.
Re-insert the battery back into its place.
Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons, all at the same time.
Release the buttons only when the ‘Warning!!’ message appears.
Next, press Volume Up button to confirm that you wish to enter Download Mode.

It's possible that you bought a Franki. Install this APP and add screenshots to help you better with your model.
* Council: Return the device to the seller if you can fastly.
Boot into download mode. The model # will be displayed. You can then boot into recovery mode. I think the second line will give you the recovery version.
You can then compare the two items to the firmware on sammobile.com to help verify the motherboard in the phone.
I've seen multiple posts in the threads regarding the unlocked SM-G955U1 firmware on how to get the phone back to the original carrier firmware in the event somebody wanted to return the phone, or whatever.
So there are a couple of different ways, you can use Odin and download the appropriate firmware for your model/carrier via a site like Sammobile, etc... or what may be the best option (if you don't have a premium subscription to some of the firmware sites) is just use the SmartSwitch app from Samsung.
My device is a Verizon SM-G955U that I was able to successfully flash to the SM-G955U1 G955U1UEU1AQDC firmware.
If you open up SmartSwitch it actually identifies my G955U as a G955U1 due to the firmware, so you'll need to make sure you don't have your phone connected to your computer while you're doing this, otherwise SmartSwitch will simply download and re-install the latest G955U1 firmware version available, not your carrier specific version.
1) Click "More" from the main screen of SmartSwitch
2) Click "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization"
3) Click "Device Initialization"
4) If you do not have your device attached to your computer via USB, you'll be given a field to enter your model number, if you do have your device attached to your computer, exit, unplug your device from your computer, and try again.
5) Type your model number in (e.g. SM-G955U) and click "Search".
6) You'll be prompted for the serial number of your device, you can get this from the Status screen of your phone.
a) Your serial number will be checked against a Samsung database to make sure it is both valid, and it matches the device model number that you entered.
b) If you get an error, make sure that you have entered the correct model number of your phone, Samsung is using a serial number database so that people cannot use this application to install other versions of the
S8 firmware on models which they were not meant to be on (e.g. I can't type SM-G955U1 as my model and then use my serial number without getting an error on this screen, since my serial number is linked to a
SM-G955U model.
7) Follow instructions, you'll need to re-connect your phone, and boot it to the bootloader screen by powering it down, holding the bixby + volume down + power buttons.
im sorry man smart switxh dosent have this anymore
Hi Guys,
i need the original Software of the Samsung J7 Duos of 2017.
The Phone has the Number SM-J730FZKDDBT
Could somebody give me the correct Software?
Had a big Problem with the phone and accidentlly deleted the original Software. :crying:
Now the Phone is running with the J7 Pro Software an i have Blur and sometimes Stripes on the Phone.
I found one here: https://mega.nz/1dd9e683-af73-4d23-8f0c-1adab29698d9
Note that this is the firmware for the SM-J730F as they come in Switserland.
Another (better) option imho is to download Smart Switch from the Samsung website. (link: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/smart-switch)
Once installed, it's not that difficult to get your original firmware back.
1) Make a backup of your phone (as it will be erased completely)
2) Switch off your phone and boot it into "Odin mode" (hold volume down + power + home until the device boots, release the power button but keep holding the other buttons. Once you have the confirmation screen, confirm using volume up)
3) In Smart Switch (once installed) click on "more" followed by "Emergency software recovery and initialization".
4) When the following screen is loaded, click on the "Device intialization" tab.
5) Enter your Model name at the bottom (in capital letters) and click on "search".
6) When your model number is recognized, you will be prompted to enter your serial number.
7) Once entered, click "ok" to start searching for the firmware for your original region.
8) Follow the next steps as explained on-screen (don't have my tablet - Samsung Galaxy Tab S - with me now so cannot give you any more detailed instructions).
Note that I cannot find my phone when entering the model and serial number (SM-J730F/DS. Model not found, and combination with SM-J730F and my serial number gives no results)

You can go to download mode to check your exact hardware model. The things in download mode can't be changed and are telling you the truth.
To go to download mode, power off your device completely and then press volume up + bixby + power button. it will ask you if you really want to continue, press yes and then look what it say by "Model Name". If you're at it already, also check the "warranty void" if its 0 or 1 (0x0 or 0x1).
To exit Donwload mode just press volume down + power button for 7 seconds.
You then can download the newest software for which ever device you have.
@jaannnis
Thank you! So in download mode, i found no phone model, instead i found carrier:xaa also the waranty void is 0x0 (no rooted). I google a little bit and found that is the USA unlocked. Also i just realised the back of my phone written model SM-G950U1. I think my hardware is USA unlocked but the firmware is hongkong (is hongkong better than usa unlocked??)
So what do you think i should? the safest way please. i have no waranty, i bought it online shop and the shop is closed.
should i flash usa unlocked firmware with odin? https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950U1/XAA/download/G950U1UEU2CRB9/214007/
or hongkong? or with smart switch?
Edit update:
1. so i tried smart switch 4.1.17054_16 with device initialization, with various combination (correct uncorrect model, correct uncorrect S/N).
- With wrong sn and anything samsung model the pop up is "unable to find the serial number, model name, or IMEI on the server. Please check and try again"
- correct sn and anything samsung model except SM-G950U1, the pop up is "please check the model name and S/N, and enter them again"
- correct sn and SM-G950U1 the pop up is, " 'SM-G950U1' does not support initializing. Please contact our service center."
2. Odin 3.12.3 with SM-G950U1, 2017 december nougat. The installation failed.
hope it helps to overcome my problems. thx
Hello guys. I know there are many topics about this, but I need a help about my Samsung Galaxy S8 (normal one, not Plus or Edge) G950F.
I tryed many method and I saw many videos and guides, but still it doesnt work.
My Galaxy S8 is brand with Tim (Italy) so I dunno if this could create issues or not.
I downloaded Combination Firmware 8.0 but I always have the error "SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1" on Mobile and Fail on Odin... this just can mean that the Combination Firmware isnt the right one.
I downloaded the right 8.0 Tim Original Firmware and tryed with Odin. It pass and everything go well, but still ask me for the old Account Gmail to verify the Account etc even if Odin did good.
I guess that I need to use that Combination first and put USB Debug (as I'm seeing in many videos) but I can't put this Combination Firmware for the error I said above.
What can I do? What is the right Combination file for a Galaxy S8 8.0 Tim (Italy)? I can't now naither turn on the device because it says to me in loop "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software" in a green screen.
Thanks for any help you can give. I just want use back this mobile.
Did you tried to boot in download mode and then use smart switch ? Smart switch can recognize a phone when you boot at recovery. Then try to repair.
Concerning the combination this error mean that the combination file are too old. I had the same issue long time ago ( Device 2 Binary 1).
What mean the Google Gmail thing ? At boot they ask you the mail ? Why don't enter it then ?
Tell me if something worked. Try to find a newer "combination".

I can't enter the Account Verification because the one who used this phone wont tell me the email and psw for it (he was the partner of my mom, but now they fighted and my mom wanted back her's phone.. but now, for vengeance/spite he wont tell us his data). I knew about Combination was old but where can I find the newer one? I am surfing on internet and can't find the right one I tryed many). My Firmware code is 8.0.0/R16NW/G950FXXU2CRED so I need a Combination Firmware eligibile with that.
I cant access the Device to install Smart Switch etc.
You don't need to access to the device. Just download the Samsung utility on your computer and connect your phone thought the download mode.
The name of the Samsung thing is Samsung Kies or something like that. Search for it.
And actually I never saw a phone asking for account verification ... I can't really help if this method don't work.

Or, flash twrp. Obviously the warranty will trip. And then delete everything, also the system. Then install back the firmware through Odin

The combination firmware needs to match the current firmware of the phone. Example if you have CRC7 then you need combination firmware CRC7
