With JPM, Kies wouldnt update to JP2.... So i took it to service center with JPM inside, asked them to flash JP2 and they did it....

Kies flashing failed
I was trying to upgrade using kies and the flashing stuck mid way and my phone wont boot now. I tried multiple times to flash using the firmware emergency recovery built in kies but it gets stuck at the same point always (39%).
Any one faced this problem? I am downloading odin files and will try. Let me know if I shouldnt try with odin and rather take the phone to the service center.

flashing with Idiot Kies is very problematic specially if you have win 7 on your pc....I just flashed with Odin...its the better way...
Thanks to all Friends who helped me

Any comparison JPM vs JP2?

SM-G9006V Google Play & Roms

*******************************************
AUGUST UPDATE
*******************************************
Most people are reporting that LiDroid is successful, I can confirm that it works well. I have occasionally encountered errors when installing apps from Play but they are not common or consistent. Note that when installing LiDroid the user may choose English for the language, but beware that the later Customer Service Customization menu selects the data network, thus if you live in China you should choose CHIN and not ENG at this menu. This second menu has no effect on the phones default language.

This post is about the G9006v which is the China Unicom version of the Galaxy S5. Here are links to a couple roms:
This is the official version:
Original Forum Post: http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7402465-1-1.html
Download Link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1d9VDc

Note: Enter the password at the first screen. Then, use the grey button above the file, there will be a second dialogue box, again choose the grey button, not the blue one. The file will start downloading, if you're not in China it will be slow.
This is a rom that someone made based off Shohat's ROM, it includes Google Play Store:

I flashed this rom and it seems to work fine, but changed the model number of my phone to 900F, not sure why? Also, let the google play store update services and a few other files and afterwards it seems to work just fine

How to flash?
It is downloading in my mobile through a chines application but very slowly. After download this file where will it store? And how to i flash my sm g9006v?

You don't have to use the Baidu downloader, just press the GREY button BOTH times. =D
As far as how to flash, it's just like any other ROM. FYI, Shohat said he is working on making his version support the 6V so keep an eye out.

It is still working.
The first dialogue box, with a space to enter text, is for the password, though if you enter it once you won't have to subsequent times you visit the page.
If you're not in China, Baidu loads super slow. If it's too slow to download the 1GB file then you'll just have to wait for Shohat's rom next week. Should be better anyways. =D

Using this ROM should decrease the differences between the Chinese version and the "western" one, am I right?

Your question makes me think you might want to read a bit on what ROM is (don't worry, I don't reallly know either, but we can always learn more), but ultimately yes, this ROM contains some of the Google services not included in the China Unicom version.
Please be careful and understand that this a temporary fix, this ROM is a bit buggy. Keep an eye out for other XDA roms that will work for 9006V models. You will certainly want to flash something new later.

Nice job of putting it all together in one shot. Still haven't quite done it on my phone, but will be doing it soon. Maybe I'll wait for a ROM until the one you mention by Shohat comes along. Really would like if we could get some english developer love too. I know there are things available in chinese, those alone should have like 90% of the work done for those wanting to do a version for english.

I used this post:
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7340315-1-1.html
BUT:
I think that the only thing that really helped me was having the drivers, which I got through the long way, by installing 豌豆荚 on my computer and it automatically installed drivers. Windows couldn't find them. I've seen the drivers on that forum listed above, so if you don't want to install that app (it is kinda annoying, but helps sideload APKs).
One other thing to note:
I also got really thrown off by one part of the above instructions, to enter CWM after you flash it with Odin you need to press Vol+ + Home + Power, not volume down.

I was NOT pulling the battery immediately after odin popped off the restart. pulled battery and usb and then booted directly into recovery and worked just fine. I am now in the CWM recovery... now if only I spoke chinese....

Ok.... for english speakers....
Once you are in CWM recovery after yanking the battery last second and loading recovery on the next boot cycle (or you have to do it all again)... You will be presented with options... crazy options... select the first one, then select the second option (it says some english about install-recovery.sh). This will disable the recovery script that keeps writing samsung's recovery over your fresh CWM. Then I chose the 2nd option again after that, thinking it meant something about rooting the phone. Not sure, but the phone rebooted and everything was fine. CWM still intact.
After that, I installed supersu as linked on the chinese website shown previously. you can see english for ZIP and from there see ext.storage or internal, just point to were you downloaded it and click through to install.
I downloaded a copy of gapps for 4.4.2 and did the same thing as I did for supersu and BAM.... now I have google play and it's working.... Finally the phone i was wanting it to be, at least until a fully english rom becomes available.

I must be missing something here. I finally downloaded this file from the second link, which is called 'Samsung_S5_G9006V.zip'.
I ran Odin v.3.09 to flash this ROM (just like any other ROM), and obviously it doesn't recognise this file, as it's a zip file. So I extracted it to a folder. However, all I get is a lot of folders such as 'data', 'META-INF', 'system', 'tmp', 'tools' and two files 'check_data_app' and 'romconfig.xml'.
Odin also doesn't recognise this, as it's looking for .tar or .md5 or .smd or .gz or .tgz file extensions.
I've tried renaming the original zip file to .tar.md5 but this doesn't work either.
Could you please explain further, or even step-by-step exactly how you are supposed to flash this ROM? What software do I actually need to flash it?

ROMs are .zip and installed via Recovery. You can use ODIN to put recovery on your phone. Clockwork Recovery Mod (CWM), TWRP are both recoveries.
Once recovery is on your phone you can enter it using the volume+ / power / home keys.
If you're still unclear on this process just look at any of the roms in the dev sections, they all include a short how to for installing a rom from recovery.

Thanks ddxv, and sorry for being stupid - all my previous phones I simply flashed from within Windows using ODIN.
So step-by-step guide should be as below?
1. Download Clockwork Recovery Mod (CWM)
2. Download ODIN 3.09
3. Download 'Samsung_S5_G9006V.zip' from your second link
4. Copy 'Samsung_S5_G9006V.zip' to a MicroSD card and place into phone.
5. Reboot phone into Download Mode
6. Start ODIN
7. Click on 'AP' (was 'PDA') and find CWM recovery file
8. click Start
9. Once finished, the 'Pass' message will be displayed.
10. Reboot into recovery mode
11. Choose Wipe Data/factory rest
12. Select install zip from SD card
13. Flash phone
14. Reboot

My VyprVPNs connect but there isn't really any data sent afterwards. My StrongVPN account works occasionally. Neither are as good as on the computer. Make sure you're using PPTP, StrongVPN recommends unchecking the encryption as it's 'buggy' or something.
Also, Liantong/China Unicom in Beijing seems to constantly change connections, which naturally disconnects the VPN.

Yeah, the original rom this is based on was an older / original version of Shohat's rom.
There are now dozens of roms on the chinese sites, no doubt a fairshare are from xda, but probably less buggy than the one you chose

Restore not working for me

Hi Everyone I'm not even sure if anyone is going to reply to this but heres the deal. yesterday i flashed a custom rom to my phone s4 (sgh-i337m unlocked carrier) i have twrp3 installed for custom restore and i did make a restore file when my phone was still on lollipop, and i think that the backup worked because the boot screen is back to stock but now heres my issue, i power up my phone i get past the "galaxy s4" screen but get stuck on the samsung animation, i gave up on it after it sitting there for 2 hours then i removed the battery and then flash installed 7.x nougut onto it, but cant get playstore but thats just minor but what i do want is to go back to full stock no root, i feel that ive made a mistake and im just not comfortable with it anymore even if i loose all my stuff thats fine ive had the phone for a week, i do have odin on my computer but dont know how to use it because theres icons like bl, ap, cp and csc i dont know what those are well i know ap for installing twrp. I'm needing help like yesterday

You will have to download the stock ROM and flash it with Odin. Stock ROMs can be downloaded from sammobile.com, but download speeds are slow for non-premium users.
Flash guides can be found with everywhere.

Confirm that the model # is sgh-i337m in download mode. If it is, do this:
download Odin 3.07: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...168421&usg=AFQjCNHMbaSWjgVwWQGtMVr1TvJSsXWUcA
download the latest 5.01 firmware from here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s4/SGH-I337M/BMC/download/I337MVLSGQB1/125370/ (This is for Bell but it doesn't matter because Rogers, Bell, Telus, Koodo, and Fido use the same ROM with some minor carrier customization). Unzip the file once to create a tar.md5 file;
put the phone into download mode;
open Odin and click on PDA, select the tar.md5 file;
connect the phone to the computer using the original Samsung USB cable;
uncheck everything except f reset time and flash the phone;
when you see the word RESET in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery; boot the phone into recovery mode, factory reset, and reboot.

Thankyou i did fully verify everything before hand and yes it is sgh-i337m i actually got a different rom fully working and i do thank all users that did view and help me out. I did find a way to get gapps installed wothout issues. I still cant restore the device back to stock but i actually bought a replacement stock phone and use this one that were communicating on now. So now i have two phones completely identical minus the fact that one is unlocked from at&t and the other was never locked to anything.

Took a while but finally acquired 2 stock roms one telus and one sasktel. I will probably do a rom swap one day

The non-aws version of the s4 sold in Canada is the sgh-i337m. You can cross flash roms from any carrier as they are all the same except for a bit of customisation by adding their own apps.
A quick download source is updato.com.
Btw, the Canadian s4 forum is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att

I'm stuck also on the samsung animation screen, and flashing a stock rom does nothing for me it's stuck. I can't even go into stock recovery. everytime i do try it just say recovery booting and loops back into samsung screen. is there any way to fix this?

Thanks I'm new to the site and didn't know there was a Canadian s4 forum, I thought it was a specific device forum because my phone isn't att because att is not active on my area, we have telus, koodo, rogers, sasktel and bell

One thing I did because I was in the same boat and it sounds like your stuck in a soft boot is download lots of roms to a SD card and trial and error, use the latest version of twrp and flash the first version of twrp to the phone with Odin there's lots of YouTube videos to assist you, also when using a custom rom (in my experience) is that you also have to download gapps to gain the full google/android experience and it's safer to download apps with Google playstore compared to using a browser. Also when flashing remember to wipe catche and delvic before rebooting. Hope this helps and if your using the same kinda device as me I'd recommend the 7.1.2 rom by JDC it works pretty good and it feels like the s8

Need help unbricking my Galaxy S7 edge SM-G935P phone

I flashed the firmware from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/6-8-t-mobile-935u-firmware-qe2-t3619151 along with the Tmobile radio via Odin 3.13.1, it failed in Odin and now the phone is stuck on the samsung logo. I used the BL and the AP from the zip, the CP I used from the separate tmobile download link. For the CSC I first tried the CSC that is in the package and when that failed I tried the HOME CSC even that failed. the User data I kept blank both times.. Then I tried it a third time same as above except in the CSC I put the CSC file from the zip and in Userdata I put the Home CSC file, it failed again. Am i doing something wrong ?
Update: I have been trying to flash the stock firmware from samobile, but I am unable to do even that. It keeps failing. I downloaded the firmware from here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/...S5BRA1/206887/, extracted it, added just the AP and as per instructions went in to download mode, clicked on start and it keeps failing. In Options only auto reboot and f reset is clicked.
I would really appreciate any help to unbrick this device, it is stuck on an exclamation mark saying " An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software". Smartswitch is not recognizing this device saying it's an unsupported device so emergency restore software wont work from there. I can get it into download mode but as I said flashing the firmware via Odin is not working. I can also get it into recovery mode but it keeps endlessly trying to update, fail and loop back to trying to update.
Thanks in advance.

Firstly I would check your use cable, I have a bunch and not all of them work. Secondly, make sure that your phone is being recognized on PC, hence the cable check. and third, make sure you are flashing the correct firmware. You said TMB, but I see you are flashing 3 different company files. Hi back to full G935P firmware , you front need to flash TMB on t, it should be fine cause I have a g935p with TMB sim in it
Anything else I'll be glad to help

I used the BL and the AP from the zip, the CP I used from the separate tmobile download link. For the CSC I first tried the CSC that is in the package and when that failed I tried the HOME CSC even that failed. the User data I kept blank both times..

just checking... are you using the edited princecomsy odin? http://d-h.st/gsDA or use the link here https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-s7-edge/help/princes-odin-t3545104
find the correct rom here https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/odin-stock-nougat-firmware-s7-edge-t3569834
just use files from one rom at a time. get good at that first. maybe you are careful but it really looks like you were guessing what goes where at the end of your post.
i just have tips on what helped me. passing along the info and the link.

What is your APN settings ? With the sprint firmware I could either get LTE data or calls and text not both at the same time.
Thanks.

Im actually on the G935U rom from jrkruse. If you are on the latest firmware just skip the flashing of the stock U firmware. Just flash eng boot, root it, and follow his process in his t-mobile thread for flashing in flashfire. When aroma starts it asks you what kernel to flash just choose tmobile and it works instantly. But fo APN settings whatbi had was this:
Name
T-Mobile US LTE
Apn
fast.t-mobile.com
Mmsc
http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
Apn Type
default,supl,mms or Internet+MMS

I managed to flash back the Sprint firmware. I feel the problem is Sprint is probably the only one with an upgraded baseband due to their last update. Both the TMO and U firmwares are based on the 4 baseband G930TUVS4BRA1 and the last Sprint update put it on a 5 baseband G935PVPS5BRA1. That is what is causing for it to fail, I feel. Do you think if I follow the eng.boot method I should be able to overcome the problem ?

Okay the problem you are having is that you are actually on bootloader 5 not baseband 5. So that number represents the bootloader and there is no way of downgrading as of yet. Samsung does this thing with fuses on the phone being blown as the bootloader upgrades, well as far as i know from the s8&s8+. So your problem you are having is that you are trying to flash a previous bootloader which isn't going to happen. Flashing the QK5 or the BRA1 firmware will work. Cause it's on bootloader 5. I'd you do what I said a couple posts ago you'll be fine I'm still running the U series tom with tmo kernel installed and I have actually had 0 issues so far. It's been completely solid and everything works, data, sms, Wi-Fi calling, etc...... it works after flashing and boot. With the Sprint tom I got headache after headache and the activating thing is annoying. Just do what I said and you'll see a that what jrkruse then did is probably going to be the only best thing the Sprint variant gets. Try it

Thanks for your reply. If it is not too much can you please break down the steps a bit more because I don't want to guess and mess it up again and also if you could please kindly point me to the other thread as well so I can download the appropriate stuff from there and read a bit more about it. I am right now unable to use the phone with the sprint firmware on it on TMo, it's super annoying.
Thanks in advance.

Don't mind all the instructions there .
1. Download the flashfire zip file and place it in your phone.
2. Download the Ufirm_multi_carrier.zip and unzip it and place the AP or TaR on your phone(the file that's inside the zip)
3. Make sure to use the eng boot and the root provided in this thread and root your phone.(root is a pain but it's worth doing for this room.)
(Note, if you have flashfire stuck on enumerating partitions you can try rebooting or Google flashfire latest app or flashfire 0.73 app and download and install it)
4. In flashfire allow root permissions and select zip and choose flashfire flashable.zip and select mount system read/write,
5. In flashfire select firmware and select the AP or TaR that you downloaded and it should have all partitions checked. Leave it and press the check mark.
6. Make sure that SuperSU is not injected. MNow click on wipe and select dalvik/cache format cache .
7. The order should be firmware then zip then wipe in flashfire.
8. Click the flash tab at bottom in flashfire.
9. In aroma, select the wipe SuperSU image, I think it's selection 2, and the rest of it is entirely up to you for what carrier you are on and so forth.
There is no need to download the Ufirmware stock for Odin because it won't stick because if the new software you have on your phone. Please make sure you know what you are doing to apply these things. These instructions worked for me and if you choose to do otherwise that's on you. I claim no responsibility for bricked devices or what you create . Flashing is a risk that we all take and it's entirely up to you.
Any more questions I'll be glad to answer. Trying to get the oreo working but having issues.

First up, thanks a lot for your help. After a lot of tries I managed to root the phone or so I thought and that's what the phone said after I ran the root.bat file on the computer and the phone rebooted. I downloaded the flashfire app but when I turned it on it says "root access could not be acquired, are you rooted ?".
After I ran the root.bat file and the phone rebooted the phone clearly said it was rooted. How do I go ahead now ?

Get the root from the thread in the link I provided .
In the file there should be something OS something flash the bat file in there it kills all Sprint stuff. Then do the root.batch file and don't worry when it removes all the SuperSU, flashfire, and so on, it's normal okay do on to the painful part......
In the command screen or terminal, it'll say to press a button when your phone has registered on the PC., this is probably where you are messing up. Watch your computer screen until the s7 pips up and watch your phone when it says Allow, MAKE SURE YOU TAP ALLOW! wait for your phone to click off on the PC and then click back on( it takes a while) then press whatever button you like and watch the terminal, if it has errors then it's not rooted if it is rooted then the terminal will close and your phone will reboot. Then proceed to flashfire and do it's thing. For good measure when your phone is booted open SuperSU app first and you'll know if your rooted. Let me know if you need more help

thats pretty interesting being on the binary 5 baseband and binary 4 rom. to clarify, you were on the binary 5 rom and reverted? or were you on the baseband 4 and upgraded just the baseband? thanks for the info.

I odined the AP_Nougat_S7_Edge_EngBoot.tar.md5 then ran the root.bat file from Nougat_S7_Root_2_82_All_Carriers_V2 , I chose the options to install the fingerprint fix and install the root without any gpu tweaks. I watched the whole process complete and the cmd prompt close, my phone never asked my permission to ALLOW anything, everything was on the computer. I ran the root.bat from cmd as an administrator and the program ran evidently because it asked me about the fingerprint fix and root with or without tweaks etc. I noticed the phone reboot and there was a notification, the phone was rooted but no SU and flashwire says no root access. I tried it back from square one a couple of tries more right back from flashing stock sprint firmware and trying the whole rooting process again, same results except the next two times the phone doesn't reboot after running the root.bat file. I notice now when the phone boots up there is a sign saying "CUSTOM" beneath the samsung logo on the screen. I don't know where I am going wrong in the process though. I don't know if it is because I am on the binary 5 however I also read somewhere that people have been successful in rooting their binary 5 sprint S7 edges. I have rooted many devices before and installed roms etc, this has been, by far, the most perplexing phone in every which way.

Fownt know what to say,but, you are saying that you are on binary 5 and have successfully downgraded bootloader's by flashing stock vzw firmware which is on binary 4? I don't think downgrading is possible yet?? The way I explained it to you is exactly how I did mine numerous times. I can no longer assist you though because, I kinda bricked my s7edge,
Here's something for everyone to note on a DONT DO!!!!
Do not flash the latest ENG_BOOT AND COMBO FIRMWARE.
I think it was the binary 5 QK1 eng boot and combo I forget, but after flashing back to stock firmware you will get a SBL ERROR in upload mode and let me tell you....... It is not fun at all. I had all the files necessary for unbricking, the complete restore files, I tried the z3x box, I tried octoplus, and I tried the uni-android tools and nothing flashes it over. It's insane. But I ended up sort of destroying the body of the phone but not the internal, so I now have a skeleton phone and no screen or mid frame.
So I wish you luck and probably a final goodbye to Samsung and their insaniy with phones.

Bummer about your phone. On a glad note I managed to root and flash my phone and everything works great now. I was taking the hard nerdy way to do it by running cmd as an administrator and having that run the root.bat file. I read somewhere else you could just double click the file and it worked for me . From there on the aroma part was pretty straightforward. I am grateful to you for pointing me in this direction and breaking it down for me, I seriously doubted me being able to achieve this on my binary 5 phone but it turned out to be smooth.
I do wish you the best and thanks once again.

Anyone got stock S8 Pie Firmware for SM-G950F

Hi all,
Has anybody got the stock Android 9 Firmware for the SM-G950F. All the download links i have tried have failed. I'm currently running TWRP with a Samsung Android 9 ROM.
I want the stock firmware in order to get access to Google Pay, etc..
My phone has a UK vodafone sim card.
Thank you

flashable though TWRP or the Odin files?

Through ODIN as i want to get rid of TWRP

Go to sammobile.com/firmwares/archive
Register with your email and seach for your model number and select your country, then download the zip with 5 files: AP, BL, CSC, HOME CSC and CP.
Open odin and put the files in the specific box (in CSC I use Home CSC file).
Boot your device in Download Mode (POWER+VOL DOWN+BIXBY)
Connect to your Pc and press Star
Wait until Odin shows PASS, the device take more time to boot.
I suggest to fully charge the phone before flashing the firmware

Hi,
I decided not to use the stock ROM as i have found a custom one that allows google pay and other restricted apps. Thank you tho for providing the link. I will use the stock firmware later on when i change phones. :good:

I use the stock firmware and I disabled the apps that i dont use with ADB. Do you suggest me to root my S8 or not?

Guys i need a stock firmware with all the 5 files aswell...I want to sell the phone but i cant sell it as it is running LOS16 currently...Im downloading a firmware from sammobile but its very slow, 4 hours to download it...

That happened to me aswell. Just do it overnight. It will probably take the same amount of time for someone to upload it to google drive etc.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.
There seems to be a newer version of the ROM, but everything should work fine.
