Every time I try to flash with odin I get a security failed tz.
Do you have any idea what this can be?
Also when I try to go into recovery mode i get "Secure Fail: KERNEL"
I have the SGH-M819N, this all began when I wanted to switch from MetroPCS to Net10.
Because Metro's service is really bad, everywhere I go is like a dead zone.
Mind you i live in the city of Miami. lol
So the wonderful people at Metro wouldn't give me an unlock code for my phone.
I don't understand why, if Metro is a "NO CONTRACT" company.
Any ways, i took it to the flea market by my house to get it unlocked for $40
The gentleman that worked on my my phone instead of just telling me it can't be done, decided to flash my phone to AT&T SGH-i527 voiding my warranty completely.
Can someone please help me?
I have a $550 paper weight at the moment.
When I try to boot in recovery mode it says "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest ATT store for help.
And when i try to turn on my phone it just stays in the AT&T logo.
my e-mail is [email protected]
Any help will be greatly appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

Thank you for the info I was excited to see the thread and did everything step by step, but when i get to the part to enter the
serial #, for some odd reason Kies says that it is wrong, to please check and re-enter.
I'm sure i have the right #, its on the back of handset and receipt.
I think the problem with this is that your phone is a metro pcs mega and you're trying to put in the (metro pcs) serial number to download an AT&T Mega firmware. I don't think kies will let you do that and there currently is no firmware available for the metro pcs mega so kies may not work for you at all. You may need to sesrch to see if you can dowload the odin flashable firmware another way ( perhaps someone in the mega forum actually has it somewhere). Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Sent from my SGH-M819N using xda app-developers app
I think the GT-I9205/9200 are closer to Metro's version of the phone. Their ROM's work on the Metro version. Maybe try their firmware. Unfortunately Metro's firmware isn't out yet. Metro Locks the phone for 3 months. After the 3months of service they will unlock it.

i bought a note 3 on craigslist. i called sprint to activate. they say its not showing up in the system. after 5 days of getting the run around i was told the phone had been flashed. the knox is 0x1 does that mean i cant flash back to sprint. HOW DO I FLASH BACK TO SPRINT SO THE WILL RECOgNIZE THE NOTE 3. please help
Ok, if the device has been flashed, has it also been rooted? Go to the app drawer and see if there is a SuperSu icon there. If so your rooted. This will void your warranty but should not stop sprint from activating the phone. Now to the home page, swipe down and click the gear lookin thing ( settings ) in the upper right hand corner. Then click the general tab, then click About Device. Ok, what is your software version, android version, and baseband version. Lets start with that, depending on what you have, you should fairly easily be able to get back to a Sprint version of whatever OS you have.
help
first off. thank you for responding. software version is n900pvpucnc5 the adriod version is 4.4.2 the baseband version is n900pvpucnc5 please advise

Great !!! Your device is updated the latest version of 4.4.2 NC5 ( kitkat ). Since KNOX is 0x1 any warranty on the phone is void. Now up front if that phone was set up on a 2yr contract with the original owner, and the contract is not over, this could be an issue with Sprint ? So, with that out of the way lets see if we can get you activated. First, the reason that Sprint could not find the device with there system is because the phone is, or was rooted and a custom recovery was installed (flashed) this is why KNOX reads 0x1. Because the phone is rooted Sprint cannot send an OTA ( Over The Air Update ) to the device. Did the phone come to you in the original box ? If not, the serial number and MEID HEX and DEX (mobile equipment identifier ) numbers are on a sticker under the battery. Sprint my need those numbers you can find them there.
The first thing we need to do is get you back to stock. Do you have Samsung drivers installed on your PC? If not, go to this link http://www.devfiles.co/download/AbRa7wHc/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe and get them installed. Go to this link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27506 register with SamMobile download the latest copy of 4.4.2 NC5 SPR version and you will need Odin 3.09 which you can get there as well. Download NC5 and Odin to your desktop.
Now lets get started, first extract the NC5 zip to your desktop this will automatically convert it to a .tar file. Now extract Odin to your desktop, click on Odin and open it. Click on the PDA button in Odin and box will open up. Click on desktop and then click and open the .tar file which will appear next to the PDA box. Boot your phone into download mode ( I assume you know how to do this since you found KNOX 0x1 ) connect your device via USB to the PC, in the upper left hand corner of Odin a box will light up COMM: with some color and number it doesn't matter what is says, it just shows you have a connection. Now don't touch any other settings just click start sit back and watch the magic !!! When its done you will have an out of the box stock Note 3. You can now try to activate your phone with Sprint by phone if you want. If it was me I would go into a Sprint Corporate store most likely the guys there, have phones they own rooted anyway, usually they cut you some slack if you no what I mean.
please advise
did that now sprint is saying that the device is not compatible with sprint. its not coming up lost or stolen just not compatible for some reason

Go to settings, general, about device. What is the Hardware version, and model number. We need to determine what is not compatible, be it hardware or software.
Lets tackle hardware first :
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9000 Octa (HSPA+ only)
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N900V (For Verizon)
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N900A (For AT&T)
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900P (For Sprint)
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9002 (Dual SIM)
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N900T (For T-Mobile)
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900R4 (For US Cellular)
n900p.12 is hardware

Cool, that is what it should be. I assume the model number is N900P? If so, I would take it to a Sprint Corporate Store, let them connect it to there equipment, and see if a tech can sort it out.

Hallo xda note 3 sprint people.
I live in the UK and bought a phone here via ebay.
Initially the info within the phone on the about phone part of the system said N9005.
antutu checker said that I had N9005
I rooted the phone using towelroot, flashed twrp and flashed 4.4.2 x-note rom v18
This installed the phone info app and checking this saw that it had conflicting information.
Hardware revision n900p.12
Bootloader N900PVPUCNC5
PDA N9005XXUFNF4
(see attached pics)
Underneath the battery the phone says SM-N9005. (see attached pic)
It has the same imei as when I dial the code.
I put this imei into
http://www.samsungwarrantycheck.com/
and it said I have SM-N900PZKESPR
which again conflicts with what is said beneath the battery.
Considering the evidence, which phone do you think I have?
Is there any other way of confirming this.
I want to upgrade the phone but don't want to flash an incompatible bootloader.
Many thanks.
Same problem
Hi!
I live in Russia.
I have almost the same problem (e-Bay, fake model №...).
In addition, a few days ago, Wi-Fi stopped working.
When I try to turn on Wi-Fi it endlessly displays the status "Turning On ..."
Please let me know if you find a solution to your problem.
Go to download mode and see model there.. But i think your variant is n900p... I
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have same phone 9005 but modem version is N900P, your phone is sprint , you can verify it by restarting on downloading mode, you will see your real model
This phone come from china, its original but for sprint (USA). You can install only sprint Stock rom, and 4G LTE will not work, because sprint use Band 25, 26 and 41. Only 3G will work.
Becarful when installing stock rom, because its possible to lock your sim (i have same case and i unlock it by SSU.apk)
The goood solution is :
1- Install TWRP 2.8.7
2- backup your current rom
3- Install custom rom like this :

Hey Guys,
I've come across my limit of knowledge during the past days.
I purchased this new phone, "Samsung Galaxy S 7".
When I look up the "About phone" option in "Settings", it says, that it's a SM-G930F with android verison 6.0.1.
I couldnt find ANYTHING according to my Build number, which says: MMB29M.G930FXXU1BPIA or that my Smart Switch says, that the software version would be PIA(VZW).
But when I go into Download/Odin-Mode there are the following text lines:
ODIN MODE (HIGH-SPEED)
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G930V
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL
FAP LOCK: OFF
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
RP SWREV: B4(2,1,1,1,1) K1 S3
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
So, both informations are dividing from each other, because the first says it's a SM-G930F and the second says it's a SM-G930V, except that both have in common, that they say system status is official.
But, my problem is, as you can see, it's still marshmallow that is installed on my Galaxy S 7 and in my settings there is absolutely no possibility to update my phone to nougat.
I've tried several things via Odin like installing: Stock firmware for ADB, Nougat firmware for ADB, Stock firmware for VZW, Nougat firmware for VZW
But just nothing worked out.
Most common issues I had with Odin were: "sboot.bin FAIL!, recovery.img FAIL!, Complete(Write) operation failed.", depending on what kind of files I tried to apply, like pit file, AP-File, Home_CSC-File, etc...
Even if i tried to solve it with the most common troubleshoting methods i could find on google, there would be another issue, like a never ending story.
I also tried applying a firmware with recovery mode but there it says: E: "footer is wrong” ,followed by “E: signature verification failed", even if my SD-Card has never been encrypted.
I dont have any idea what to do anymore,
so i would extremely appreciate some help of a pro, who can tell me, what to do exactly.
Thank you!
*EDIT*
I managed to unroot the phone with the verzon nougat firmware but now it won't let me use the phone with a diferent SIM-card than a Verizon's and I'm going to return the phone.
Hi,
I'm facing the exact same problem.
Which Verizon firmware did you use to unroot your phone?
Thanks!

I managed to flash the latest Verizon ROM (SM-G930V_1_20170330100826_87cd9631jd_fac). Now it is obviously branded and I always get a message (after reboot/after ending airplane mode, so everytime the phone connects to a cellular network) that I'm using a non-verizon sim card. Nevertheless, after manually adding the APN, everything works fine, no SIM lock.
Edit: it works even better with this stock ROM w/o branding: updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=EF06A1ED34EB11E7963AFA163EE8F90B
Same Problem
Its showing 930f in my phone information
but when i go into download mode it shows 930v
cant update my phone it's still stuck in ****ty marshmallow
i would highly appreciate any sort of help.. TIA

you have the exact same issue as me. I suggest you review this thread, it would be helpful.
In summation, you have a converted phone. you can flash Verizon's rom if you want nougat. But that didn't help with my network issues.
Same problem
is this phone is not official what's the matter please explain
I'm also having the OP's exact same problem? I thought the phone I had just bought off gumtree was fake. I'm in Australia and noted that the model one the sticker on the back on my device is SM-G930F, the "about" page lists it as SM-G930F running 6.0.1, odin lists the as model SM-G930V, smart switch as PIA(VZW), CPU-Z as having it having a Snapdragon processor and finally the paper instruction manual is for a SM-9300 (China) - WTH!?
I cant seem to figure out which device it was or is ha! I believe it may be a chinese device that has been flashed to american standard. Is the the core point here, are these perhaps all flashed/refurbed chinese models?
Long story short, i'm not having any problems but i want a newer OS like oreo or nougat - if I flash to say SM-G930U standard with XAA (generic, samsung branding), will i begin having network issues in Australia?
Hello everyone,
I need help with resurrecting the above phone model. After updating it via Samsung Switch, it 'magically' stopped receiving network recognition but it could sense the SIM card's network operator. I tried dialing some numbers and it said "Not registered on the network". I ran to the internet through various forums. I have been re-flashing STOCK ROM and i was getting PASS; still no good came out. I tried custom ROMs, same thing. NOW suddenly i got an efs/ failed to mount. How can i resurrect my baby? All i have about the phone is:
AP: G925FXXU6EVG4 (Build number) - NDR90M
CP: G925FXXU6ERF5 (Baseband version)
CSC: G925FXXU6EVG4 (Country version) - 02U
IMEI SV - 02
SN - RF8G610C1MN
The stock ROMs i have downloaded so far are:
1. Samfw.com_SM-G925F_O2U_G925FXXU6EVG4_fac.zip (stock ROM based on the last successful booting ROM; after updating via Samsung Switch)
2. Samfw.com_SM-G925F_O2U_G925FXXU6ERG1.zip
I have these in place:
- Samsung S6 Series EFS Backup Restore Tool v1.0 By Jamesjerss.exe (which i used prior; to get an efs.img before my phone got messed up (a 20Mb file was created). Is that the backed up EFS?
- Odin Odin3_v3.14.4
- CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx-smg925f.zip
- twrp-3.3.1-0-zerolte.img.tar and twrp-3.3.1-0-zerolte.img (i wonder the difference although the internet says i use .tar with Odin)
- SR5-SuperSU-v2.82-SR5-20171001224502.zip
Now, the stock ROM stops on the RECOVERY MODE with efs/ failed to mount, and when i try the custom ROM, it stops on SAMSUNG Galaxy S6 Edge. In all recovery modes, good enough my PC detects my phone's internal storage. I need to get this device to work, people.
Someone help with with a step by step tutorial, please. I am a fast learner
PS Am not a tech student or anything, am just a person who reads stuff on the internet although i understand some basic stuff on tech

1. If you think about Smart Switch Mobile, it is not for update.
2. Go back to Stock firmware via odin.
2. Have you seen >this< tutorial?
how can i know the stock firmware of the phone....i only remember the one that was updated via Smart Switch (Hanset: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge G925F single SIM card slot no SD card slot)
1. Check your CSC on the phone box or with the Phone INFO app ★SAM★ 3.8.5.
2. Select your CSC region in the "Version" box read the instructions and download the firmware.
3. Use Odin 3.13.1 to update this model.
@ze7zez. Just bought it from some phone shop that sells used phones. I have the needed STOCK firmware already. The CSC is 02U G925F---VG4. All am getting is this image below:
Since your system is not working, go to "View recovery logs" and look for CSC or "region name".
You can also try uploading firmware from your country's region.
The CSC is 02U (O2) which according to internet research it is UK

I already have all firmwares for this handset from 02U. I have tried EVERY STOCK ROM...but all am getting is E: Failed to mount '/efs' (Invalid argument).
I tried EFS-Fix-regalstreak.tar.md5 basing on https://ajketech.wordpress.com/2016/07/27/efs-missing-factory-mode-activated-here-is-the-solution/ i got FAIL.
I do have an efs.img i made before all of this whole saga but i don't know if it is broken or okay.
Try flashing TWRP from >this< manual. Read it carefully!
With TWRP you will have more options for repair.
