Official Firmware for Samsung J5 SM-500G/DS (Pakistan) - Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I am in deep trouble. While trying to install custom ROM on my Samsung J5 SM-500G/DS (Pakistan), things went wrong. Now I want to install official firmware on it using Odin. However, I am unable to find official rom for 500G variant of J5. There are some available for 500G on sam-mobile but the regions/countries are others. I do not see any stock firmware for 500G for Pakistan region.
Please help me out. This is my primary mobile. Thanks in advance.

Now whenever I start my phone, it gets to TWRP and is stuck there. Along with official firmware for my S500G, please also guide me how to get this back in working condition.
Bundle of thanks in advance.

As far as I know, in Pakistan the Galaxy J5 bears the model number SM-J500H. Are you sure that the device is SM-J500G and brought from the countey itself? If yes, there is no harm in flashing other regions firmware for J500G. Better choose the Indonesian/Malaysian firmware.

Upon flashing the stock firmware via odin, you will get the device in normal condition. Best of luck.

HI, don't know if you already solve your problem but if not, your solution is here. Just download the original firmware for your phone model and flash it with Odin. You will loose any data you have, your phone will be just like out of the box.

Download the correct firmware from Sammobile making sure its the correct one. For example, my phone is SM-G928f unlocked. So I use United Kingdon BTU. Other firmwares may freeze up your phone and you will need to re-flash again. Once you have picked your firmware, follow the instruction on screen given to you on the download page

Flashing stock G900F firmware on my G900P S5?

Hi! I've been searching all over the internet for any way to do this, until I got to the point in which I'm not sure it's even possible.
So I finally decided to ask here.
Is there any way I can flash a stock G900F firmware (more specifically, one of the ILO's versions since I live in Israel) on my SM-G900P?
During my search I've come across pit files, csc codes, firmwares, adb and whatnot. I can't make any sense out of it any more.
I've searched this entire post and found nothing that works for me.
I have tried every method that I could, but it just won't cut it.
Every time when I try to flash the European PIT file or the general G900F PIT file or the ILO (android 5.0) stock firmware, I get a security check error.
When it's the rom, I get security check: aboot. When it's the PIT file I'm trying to flash I get security check: PIT.
Some say you can't flash G900x roms on a G900y phone. Some say you can. I'm very confused, I have no idea what to do, and my
stock G900P firmware is giving me some issues (let alone not being in my native language).
My sister bought this phone for me, and it had an Hebrew option, but it was running a firmware far from a stock one.
It also had many problems and bugs and freezes, so I changed the firmware to match the model. Can anyone help me, please??
Hi
For your S5 G900P model there is already 6.0.1 rom download the firmware and install it through ODIN
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900P/
download any country S5 G900P 6.0.1 firmware it will work
Dont try to install other variants firmware to yours it might brick your device

My problem is the default G900P firmware. Even on the latest PVPU3CPCA
running Marshmallow 6.0.1, the phone itself ignores calls sometimes and notifactions.
Yesterday I got a call without my phone ringing at all. It didn't show there was an unanswered call.
I get disconnections and many other problems, even with the default firmware.
This is why I ask if I can change my default firmware, or just give up on my phone.
Note: I've managed to install 5.0.1 Lollipop default firmware (BOK4) and install Cyanogenmod 12 for my model. It is working but the call ignores and disconnections and the notifcations ignores still persist. Should I just give up and sell my phone?

Try other country firmware, there may be bugs that came by default with your country firmware
Try to clean install firmware by going to recovery and clear cache and data
No you can't flash stock firmware for a different model S5
Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll flash my stock G900P Marshmallow firmware.
I will however, change my mobile network supplier, and report here the results.
It could be a compatibility issue with Samsung.

I have used TWRP to factory reset and reset data. Afterwards I flashed a stock
G900P (lollipop, I believe) firmware which I got from Sammobile.
Then my device updated to G900PVPU3CPE1 using OTA update.
I did already try all of the 4 variants (unknown and Sprint), all had these issues with them.
Note: I used to have G900PVPU3CPCA. Now it is CPE1. Not sure how this will effect anything.
I have relative problem but in my case the phone give two different version whith phone checking by 1234 it say it's G900F model AP:G900FXXU1BOC1, CP:G900FXXU1BOC7, CSC:G900FITV1BOC1 but when I check with phone info apk all information is for G900P I ready try to update to MM6 with G900P stock firmware and then the phone IMEI changed to 9....serie after when I restaure the backup ROM the phonegive now many issues like COMEBACK and MENU KEYS don't work, when I receive a call the phone restart and camera don't work if sameone have solution , I thanks in advance
dont flash a tar.md5 on your G900P thats for another variant, it could hard brick your device. The problem youre having with missing calls isnt from the firmware. Are you not using it on sprint anymore? I saw your mention of Hebrew on it which leads me to think that youre using it outside of the US, if thats the case, the phone is entirely capable of using non-US GSM carriers, I used mine in Romania and Bulgaria this summer with zero issue.

All the information is here, read

now what to do to make it working like before on GSM
I live in Ghana. I bought my Galaxy s5 from a store. Obviously they said it is brand new. I went back to office and tried updating to marshmallow and I was informed that the phone has been changes in an unauthorized way so I should download the update via kids or smartswitch.
Mind you, the phone came with a firmware for model g900f (I couldn't write down the firmware details since I did not know what they meant then). I thought it was a firmware error so I wanted to upgrade manually, and when I booted to download mode I rather found the model to be a g900p.
After flashing back to g900p I cannot flash back to g900f because the phone is inactivated even though I use a high speed wifi, I cannot access lots of functions like find my samsung.
I know there is a way to flash back to g900f. Please help me and my friend up there. Thank you
guys, you can use a g900p in countries outside of the USA. I just did that less than 6 months ago (Romania and Bulgaria). What errors are you getting when you pop the sim card in? Is youre device rooted with a custom recovery? what ROM and baseband are you on? Certain ROMs only need you to run the SSU.apk to unlock the global capability of it. Also, idoneapps.com is a place you can go to fully unlock the device. @idone and @Nodial are the forum moderators over there and they are likely the smartest guys in the room
---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------
also, idoneapps.com charges $35 for their unlock service, but if youre at a dead end, its a price worth paying. Ive unlocked both of my G900Ps thru them, and their work is flawless

Which tar i have to download ? The entire firmware from sammobile?
Yeah, the whole 1.5 GB. Sammobile is the most secure and trustworthy place, but sometimes you can find them on android file host
---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900F/
Here's the link you'll want. You'll just have to look for the one for your carrier. I recall seeing something that if you flash a 6.0 tar.md5 you might not be able to get root back, but if I had to choose between root and a working camera, I'd choose the camera
Vodafone Italy
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900F/OMN/
From there you can use the drop down above the firmware links to choose your carrier. I'd stick with a 5.0 based firmware to avoid potential issues that could arise. For instance, on the g900p (American sprint model) if you flash a 6.0 tar.md5, you can't install custom lollipop or kitkat ROMs, only marshmallow ones

I have a Chinese A8000 and I am desperate to get marshmallow, but before voiding the warranty do you think I can flash one of the firmware for a800f because Chinese variants will ALWAYS only take the firmware HK variants don't take like Singapore (XSP) firmware

Well it turns out it tells me unsupport dev type. A800F firmware may make the machine think you are flashing an unofficial ROM and tells you that you have to void the warranty by unlocking the CROM. Unfortunately this is a A8 model that is still not renewed on the Wi-Fi Alliance. There is a chance that Samsung does NOT do that update on the Wi-Fi Alliance page but still get marshmallow, for example: my Galaxy S5 G900H. It literally says 5.0 lollipop on that website but I installed marshmallow 4 months ago. Chinese models tend to get the updates very late but I hope at least it still receives updates.

Do NOT flash a800i marshmallow on an a8000. The a800i has a different chipset, it would probably brick your phone. You'll have to wait a while I guess, there doesn't seem to be any hk 6.0.1 roms out.
Just one day ago ther is news about A8 duos getting marshmallow. Which phone is that? As far as i know my A8000 IS duos device. Out of all other A8 models which one's marshmallow is possible to be put on A8000?

My friend is having trouble, i will install sm-a800i rom
my phone: sm-a8000
Are you sure this rom is on the phone ??
Update: Both the Hong Kong version and the Chinese version of A8000 received marshmallow update! The update brings much smoother app experience/animation and better battery life (which was already great since day 1) overall! I have just noticed that today and installed it. Trust me, I will NEVER go back to that old inefficient lollipop on this phone!
Yay! Marshmallow for A8000. Does anyone know if they made an autoroot for this yet or any root method? I see the other A8s have it but not this.

Hello, I'm not sure whether this is the right place for my problem but I will give it a try. I have a problem with TWPR recovery on sm-a8000 Chinese version.
Every time I try to flash any zips it fails.
Error 70 failed to mount preload (invalid argument ) I can't do factory reset either. I'm able to root the phone with auto root and the phone works normally except for the custom recovery. I tried to do factory reset in original recovery and it worked but during the boot in the original recovery it said no command.
My aim is to install Google play apps.
Here are some pictures of the recovery result. My internal memory is only 3Mb in the recovery but if I connect the phone to my computer it shows 16Gb.
Any idea what's going on?

I dont own that device, but i thing this would work:
Flash latest 6.0 firmware with samsung smart swich (PC), enable oem unlock in settings, flash twrp for 6.0 with latest odin, do a factory reset and a full wipe (except external sd an android secure). Then download latest 5.1 firmware for your device an flash it with odin (it will take some time).

Hai bro,,,
u try this one after flashing offical firmware simply reboot your device into recovery mode by pressing Power + Home + Volume UP and do a wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partitions then reboot your device, it will start properly and all problems are now solved,,,,,

With the J500H, Samsung decided to lock the bootloader, meaning you can't downgrade. J500h seems to be the only locked device. Unless someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader then you are stuck on 6.0.1.

a few months ago ive found this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/tutorial-upgrade-j5-2015-to-6-0-t3443904 so i tried to upgrade my phone to android 6.0.1(firmware: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=D2F21816700B11E69B2DFA163EE8F90B) and it works perfectly fine tho
but im trying to downgrade to 5.1.1 coz i cant install any custom mods and kernels so i tried to flash a android 5.1.1 firmware(http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=F33B6BD4400411E6815B0CC47A44B7B2) which it gave me bootloops
i tried to re-flash it to android 6.0.1 firmware i recently downloaded. it works and it starts up ok but it says that the system is not running and it should be factory reset--something like that. so ive factory reset my phone and again..it gave me bootloops
fortunately ive recently did some twrp backup and good thing it worked fine. but the problem is that the recovery didnt backup my phone password(which im stucked rn bcoz i cant type my main phone password)
im preety stuck here and if i factory reset again it still gives me bootloops
pls bear with me if you dont really understand my problem(im not that fluent in english)

You can't downgrade anymore. I have J500H too. Im using Custom ROM right now.
More info here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/how-to/warning-flash-marshmallow-updates-t3500396
There is no solution.
update: after spending days of searching from google, i found a 5.1.1 firmware that is compatible with my 6.0.1 firmware since they have nearly similar baseband versions(J500HXWU1APE5 for the lolipop and J500HXWU1BPG1 for marshmallow). so now i can upgrade and downgrade the phone's firmware with ease
please, help me.

u can show me. how to flash with odin (
Firmware downgrade Samsung J500H from MarshMallow with the second loader to LP.
Those who are faced with the inability to roll back to version 5.1.1 are uncomfortable with using their phone.
We need to either use the Philippine firmware or install a custom firmware Belousova.
I found an acceptable way to flash my phone with a stock firmware.
For rollback, we need a four-file stock firmware J500HXXU1APA5 or J500HXXS1APE1.
File BL with the second loader BL_J500HXXU1APA5_CL958143_QB8363487_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar or BL_J500HXXS1APE1_CL1011281_QB9453563_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar .
Odin.exe.
Please note: these files for the regions: CAC, CAU, SEK, SER, SKZ.
In other regions, wi-fi or a radio module may not work.
For other regions, you need another file for a specific firmware.
If you need another region, write me the name of your firmware.
The process of the firmware I will not describe, it is well known.
You can see video here.

First update to MM have the some botloader like LP. But next update have other bootloader and you can't boot LP with odin to your telephon.
10:32 And some more - Philippines firmware LP 5.1.1 have second bootloader. You can downgrade from last update MM to LP 5.1.1 very easy.

I found how I can help for you.
You may download firmware from here :"goo.gl/Yk1Byz" and unzip and flash in odin this firmware.
Then if some hardware not working you may download firmware for your region from here:"goo.gl/SdcwhA"
and unzip repeat the flash with odin but with one file firmware.
And If you don't update your telephon to MM you can flash telephon using only this stock firmware. Save it. First file you can delete.
I am sorry - in first step you may set BL for APE1 file from my blog . It have second bootloader for firmware.
