So are confirming it is repaired OR are you asking?
this is merely leaving ppl confuse.
Add it properly.
Appologies
Sorry for the confusion created, as it was my first post i did not strictly follow the rules , but I learn pretty quick.I could not quote the other forum cause it is allowed only once you have published 8 or 10 posts..That was just a rumour about that kernel apparentely being fixed I wanted to confirm with you guys , the pros!
Word of warning!
Word of warning ! for those who try to root thei galaxy note having this ROM what i just did , almost bricked the phone I followed Dr Ketan's guide to get root access when I flashed via 1,85 odin the file that was provided in guide, when the phone rebooted I got the message that google calendar is not accessible and something about google too, then when I try sing up with a google account when I was trying to type letters I was getting "null" word for each leter numbers were not affected,then I gave up and flashed GB with multiple CSC choice and now installing again the german version, no root yet !
If you have the "null" bug, it means your CSC is not set correctly.
If you had done a quick search you would have found plenty threads documenting this.
The easy fix is to use the dialer to access the CSC settings and set the CSC yourself.

Cheers!
Thanx for the reply I think so personally that I had phone with code XEU and Rom was from Thailand and I tried to root it , now I am back on a german one thanx! Maybe I will try again with this one to follow Dr. Ketan's advice! Cheerio!

Please remove warning, this is common issue. It may create unnecessary hype. Your device is not bricked.
If you hav posted it before doing anything it may solved it in just 5min.
If you find null anytime, just flash csc.with odin n use same rom as you used.for pda. Leave all pit,repartition,pda,phone field empty.
This is issue is not related to root.
This is due to wrong csc.

Seeing as it has a "separate" recovery, it surely isn't, as we can't use anything but stock recovery. Not to mention, something as vaguely written as this should be avoided unless you're certain you know what it is and/or why you would want/need it. I'm also willing to bet this is the HK/CHINA variant or whatever, because they mention spoofing the "US" variant for Bixby to work correctly.

its modded for using ODIN with the Files. You can take for sure the Tomato v6 TWRP ROM. Both roms, included this one in thread are pre rooted
I'm sure these are for the Chinese snapdragon, with the unlocked bootloader. The U.S variant has a locked bootloader. We can't flash a custom recovery. So those with the U.S variants, don't try it.. lol

Thank you Mr. kin201303 for your great help to get root in my Samsung Galaxy note 8. I succeeded and rooted my phone with TWRP downloaded the link you provided.
I searched for a custom rom for my Galaxy note 8 sSM-N9500 HK variant, and found it in the forum below
http://rom.tomatolei.com/n9500.html.
the problem is to download this rom you want Baidu account which requires a Chinese number to receive the OTP.
another site which is hosting the same rom is
http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=f...ypeid=12917&typeid=12917&filter=typeid&page=1
it requires chinese characters to be entered in CAPTCHE field.
Both I could not do. I seek help from members of Galaxy Note 8 forum since 2 weeks, but no response.
As you greatly helped me before, I am coming back to you for help again. I know it is embarrassing to you from me, but as a desperate college of Samsung mobile , please help me by providing an easily downloadable link for this rom or if you know any other beter custom rom for this variant of Galaxy note SM-N9500 HK.
Thanking you

This is probably in the cscfeature.xml or others.xml file, depending on the 8.0 or 9.0 system, which cscfeature line is responsible for this menu, I have no idea, in the seat you can replace this other.xml file with Rom where the menu works for another Rom, you only need to do the editing for a given csc, otherwise it will not work.

I bought a Galaxy s5 on Amazon a few years ago, and now I want to give it to my child. The phone is not rooted, and the current version of the OS is 5. I wanted to upgrade it to 6 (in order to install the family link app) but I have got an auth error in odin with several firmwares that I tried to install. I am now trying to find the exact model of the phone, but I am really confused:
On the one hand - on the sticker behind the battery it is written SM-G900F, this is also the model that I see in the phone's setting, the PDA version is G900FXXU1POEC, and the CSC version is G900FOJV1POF1.
On the other hand, the bootloader version is G9006VZNU1BOE3, this is also the baseband version, and when I entered into download mode the model of the phone is SM-G9006V
So what is the correct phone version? Which firmware should I download?

I don't have either variants you had mentioned myself but, it looks like you have the following SM-G900F device...
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5/firmware/SM-G900F/XSG/
... with the following firmware that was originally flashed.
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5/firmware/SM-G900F/XSG/download/G900FXXU1POEC/48069/
That's the original firmware before the firmware was changed to the SM-G9006V.
This was possible because the SM-G900F device is an international variant. The international variants comes with its Bootloader already unlocked.
I hoped that I had clarified this okay via text...
Good Luck!

I am not sure. I tried to install the firmware that you mentioned, but still got the fail (auth) error in odin. I checked my IMEI and it says that the phone model is Galaxy S5 G9006V.

I really can't elaborate much more than I did since I never had those variants myself.
Maybe @curiousrom can be more helpful since he's got the G900F variant too?

Stickers can be changed & users may install the wrong stuff on their S5.
The only way to know the truth about what is your S5 model is to turn off the phone & boot in Odin Mode (aka Download mode): press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons and confirm with Volume up to Continue.
What is the PRODUCT NAME that you can see after you accept the disclamer?
I mean like in the attach photo.
Then you can go to a site like https://www.sammobile.com/ and get the most recent Samsung firmware for your model which will also install the proper modem & bootloader (named aboot on the S5). See the Instructions (1 file) chapter in their download pages which applies to the S5.

Why not upgrade to Android 9.0 on which is based LineageOS 16.0 if your S5 model is compatible.
See S5 super clean install.

"SM-G9006V..." - Bad news. You got scammed like the user in this thread for example Galaxy S5 SM-G9006V Variant issues:
I hope someone can help me here as im struggling for the last 12 hours and im completely lost now.
So my gf bought a Galaxy S5 off of amazon a while back and according to the software, it had Stock Android 5.0 for G900F loaded on the phone.
When booting into Recovery(TWRP) it seems that it was infact a G9006V and not a G900F variant. So in short, someone was dishonest and sold a Chinese variant as an international Variant. {bold by me}

The only stock Samsung 6.0.1 that you can install on your SM-G9006V was made for China Unicom and it does not include the Google framework which is required to install Play Store & many apps thanks to the Great Firewall of China censorship policy: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5/firmware/SM-G9006V/
You can find other similar cases with this search: site:forum.xda-developers.com/ SM-G9006V
AFAIK you have 3 options:
Keep the phone as it is.
Try to find some modified Samsung 6.0.1 or other custom firmwares on XDA that would work on your SM-G9006V.
Do a full TWRP backup then update to the awesome LineageOS 16.0 as described here including updating TWRP (SM-G9006V compatible version) & the modem & bootloader for the SM-G9006V. The post includes links to pages explaining how to do that: S5 super clean install
Edit: I did no search very hard but could not find an Odin flashable modem & bootloader package for the SM-G9006V. So in that case installing the most recent stock Samsung 6.0.1 for SM-G9006V will update your modem/baseband to G9006VZNS1CRH1 + the bootloader then you flash TWRP then you can flash LineageOS + Open GApps (for the Play Store).
WARNING: Do NOT flash any bootloader not made specifically for the SM-G9006V.

So, from what I understand, do you recommend that I'll first download and flash the stock 6.01 for SM-G9006V, which is China unicorn, and then I'll install LineagaOS 16.0?

Yes because the fingerprint sensor will not work with your old Android 5.0 modem & bootloader in Android 9.0 on which LineageOS 16.0 is based besides probably giving you better network reception & better battery life.
But as described in S5 super clean install: stock Samsung firmware > with your SIM inserted make sure you get network signal & data then write down the APN settings: Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access point Names (and/or make some screenshots of it: volume down + Power buttons, should be saved in internal sdcard > DCIM > Screenshots). That's just in case you have a network access problem in LineageOS. > install TWRP using Odin3 (see Flashing TWRP Recovery on Samsung Firmware chapter) > Backup the EFS partition to the external Micro SD card using TWRP while still running the stock Samsung firmware > install LineageOS + Open GApps.
Just curious: could you make some screenshots of all the installed apps in the stock China S5 Samsung firmware please? You need to copy or move them to computer before installing LineageOS because they will be erased if you use Format Data in TWRP which is recommended.
Because you have less than 10 posts @ the present you can't post links or attach images as per XDA's rules I think. You can post anything in the XDA Off-topic forum until you reach 10 posts: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/off-topic which is preferable or upload them somewhere and post a broken link with spaces like https ://forum.xda-developers .com & we will understand.
BTW in LineageOS the screenshots are saved in internal sdcard > Pictures > Screenshots. APN: Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > expand Advanced > scroll all the way down to > Access Point Names (APN)… works on my Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0.
"...which is China unicorn" - Maybe they do have some unicorns in China but in this case it's China Unicom.

I am doing it now, before updating to stock 6.01, right?

I already did that. Actually, I took a backup of everything, since I am afraid of the upgrade to the stock Chinese 6.01.

Do I need to root the phone before the installation?

As long if you know your working APN settings. The reason is some network providers may not be in the LineageOS providers files or some providers do not like custom firmwares.
What is your network provider + country & do you have LTE on the status bar?
Tip: go to your XDA profile in this panel https://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editprofile and add info > Devices: Samsung Galaxy S5. > Additional Information > Service provider as it's useful for troubleshooting & it will show when clicking the arrow under the username in a browser. Also > City & Home country & then you will get a flag under your username which gives an international flavor to the XDA threads IMO.
Note: @postai you have to make a new EFS partition backup after updating to 6.0.1 as it will modify some files in that partition.

Good, you can't have too many backups IMO.

No because TWRP is flashed with Odin & Odin is a good that can do many things.
Then with an unlocked bootloader (which is the case for most S5 klte variants out-of-the-box including yours except for the SM-G900V) TWRP can flash a .zip firmware. Root is to do stuff while running in System.
I updated S5 super clean install with some stuff about root after flashing LineageOS.
You said in post #1 that the S5 was for your child. How old is he or she?

Oh, so will it possible to use my TWRP backup to go back to the current (working) state if something go wrong when I update to 6.01?

He is 12. I wanted to install Google family link before I am giving him the phone. However, this app does not work on Lollipop, thus I started the adventure of upgrading the OS (which turns out to be longer than I expected)

Yes after flashing TWRP on your S5 running Samsung stock 6.0.1 you can use it to restore a TWRP backup.
That feature is awesome as you can try different custom firmwares and quickly return to your current state.
If you don’t have a network problem restore only Boot (which is the kernel & not the S5's aboot - bootloader), System (Android OS) & Data (Apps) according to the principle: if it ain't broken, don't fix it as Samsung stock 6.0.1 will modify modem & EFS partition.

Just a small update: I finally succeeded to download the Chinese firmware to my PC, and installed it through Odin (this is the first firmware that didn't give me the "Auth" error).
All my apps are still there, but all Google apps (Play, Maps, YouTube, etc.) and Chrome are not working. I get an error message that they need to be updated, but when I try to resolve it nothing happens. I will now try to do a clean install of LineageOS.
I don't think I'll backup the current version, since I won't restore it anyway. If something goes wrong with the LineagaOS installation I'll try to use my current backup and restore the original Android 5.

That's the Great Firewall of China censorship policy in action.
I wonder how your other apps got restored as the Samsung Firmware should have wiped everything. Did your apps downloaded automatically after signing in a Google account? If so that's weird as you are saying that Play Store is disabled as expected.

Nothing will go wrong if you follow S5 super clean install.
Just skip the modem & bootloader update step.
Waiting for your LineageOS feedback & good luck!

The Samsung firmware didn't wipe everything. I even didn't have to sign-in again in a Google account.
However, it did change the recovery, so I had to reinstall TWRP. I will do the clean install of LineageOS and report back...
Another update: I followed the instructions and installed LineageOS successfully.
Everything went flawlessly, except for the launcher. I tried the first option, from Google, and I entered an endless loop of errors. The app keep crashing and tried to load itself again and again. Somehow I succeed to set the other launcher to be the default, I think the name is Trebuchet, and then everything worked.
I also installed Family link, and everything is working perfectly. Thanks curiousrom!

Thank you for your feedback is the thread also for the s6 bootloader ? Because you mentioned it's for u2 and u4, but I'm on January security patch
Can anyone please provide me the stock boot file for A205fxxs6ata2 ? So I can patch it with magisk manager and root my phone

Use the U4 one
What I did is changing the indian stock firmware (3.1 Gb) to the Moroccan firmware (2.7 Gb) without root. Through Odin.
Apart from the Netflix app ( can be disabled) I didn't find any other bloatwares
I used adb's pm uninstall -k method to remove some built in mini system applications like Facebook manager, print services etc
Results = fully debloated without root access and without losing warranty or updates.

Good result
Thanks mate, i had problems trying to root, so after changing Csc , I decided that i will wait until they release the Android 10 on June 2020 (Samsung said that in the Samsung members App) I can't wait to experience OneUi 2 on this phone, then I will root inevitably ?
I'm so interested in lineage os too, I've used it before with good results, but unfortunately the A20 is not supported yet.
Have a great day
