I have got a S6 edge China here, it is a SM-G9250 with China ROM, G9250ZCU2COJA_G9250RHC2COJA_CHC to be precise. I need to convert it to the HK version so i can get Play store. There is a manual on how to do it in the forums but unfortunately Odin fails to flash the HK ROM, even if i use all four parts and the pit file.
I thought maybe i need some other China ROM first so i downloaded G9250ZCU1BOGB_G9250CHC1BOGB_CHC, G9250ZCU1BOH2_G9250CHC1BOH2_CHC and G9250ZCU1COI7_G9250RHC1COI7_CHC to flash one of them first and then try to flash the HK ROM. Unfortunately Odin fails to flash any of there ROM's. My bootloader has been unlocked with CROM and the phone is not rooted and has no custom recovery.
Could someone please help to get this done, i think it is obvious that i have spent days reading here but so far no luck.
TIA
What's the readout of Odin say when it fails?

Sorry mate did you say you flashed the 4g lte 6833 software on to the 6802 device
I want to find a sm-9005 firmware for my sm-900t, at t-mobile, they rooted my phone and installed something called lidroid with this firmware(sm-9005). So I flashed my phone with the sm-900t firmware, but after that happened, it became more annoying with boot sound. The other reasons why I need to find a sm-9005 firmware is because I need all language packs installed, and have it unlocked. So if anyone can help me find a sm-9005 firmware, unlocked or usable in us, with all languages(or just us english with chinese), I won't have to pay t-mobile another $25 dollars, just to just it fixed. But for now, I will try the UK firmware.

Well, when we are talking firmware here for Samsung devices, it means everything : system, modem, bootloader (if applicable), etc. What you would want would be referred to as a rom, which is just the operating system itself. Flashing actual firmware for another device would at best fail at the modem, at worst cause a brick (probably just soft on the T-mobile version). I find it very odd that T-mobile rooted your phone and put on an international based rom. So, now, you have the official T-Mobile firmware flashed through Odin, Kies, or Heimdall, or did you install just a stock based rom through a custom recovery? What update is it on now - Build Version and baseband?
T-mobile rooted it
Also when they rooted it, it came with philz touch recovery, they also voided my knox, and the knox apps were removed, I flashed a stock sm-900t firmware, because I wanted the knox apps, and every time after booting, 45-60 percent of ram were used up, so it was kinda laggy, but who knew lidroid was a good thing for my phone, it enabled me to use any downloaded app for multi task, and also same for pen window. But the kernel bricked the NFC.
I think you're the first person I've heard who WANTS Knox (unless needing it for work or warranty issues). Lol But you didn't answer my questions so I don't have a way to recommend something for you.
I solved it
It was just a rom, I tried using the uk firmware, it failed. at lidroid.com, you can download a rom that can install: sm-9005, sm-9006, sm-9008, sm-n900s roms, the only problem is that it will take about a day(not because of your internet) to download the rom. Thank you everyone that wanted to help me.

Oh sorry that is right, I did see the mexico telcel firmwares. I forgot to mention I am using an AT&T S4 Zoom. Is it able to use the Telcel firmware?
The AT&T firmware is not available, have to go to an AT&T Service Center. Telcel firmware will not work because AT&T locked the bootloader, and either flashing fails or soft bricks your device. The AT&T version is also the only S4 Zoom to never have seen a single OTA update.
My advice is if you can get it flashed back to stock, get rid of it and get any other version.

Hello everybody
I am new in this forum so please don't hate.
I hade S3 with orginal branded system but it was very slow so i wanted to get orginal rom without branding. I gave my phone to my uncle and he roted it and instaled TWRP (teamwin), galaxy apps and namless rom. This rom is a custom room and it has a lot of problems like: sometimes camera isin't working, widgets are invisible, galaxy apps weren' working (so i made a mistake and deleted it and now other google apps like YT aren't working) and there are a lot of another bugs. I have Odin and orginal version of non branded system from SamMobile. My question is do I need to do unroot before pluging telephone to pc and using odin or this is unnessery? I am new in xda and I don't now much about programing and stuff like this. So please help me!!
I would not use the image file from SamMobile to repair this issue. If you give me your exact model and serial off the sticker under battery, I can get you the Service files you need to COMPLETELY fix your issues.
And NO, your not going to need to unroot the device if you use the Service Files. It will under it for you!
Please let me know!
You can just flash the same rom over it to repair it.
You can flash with odin but im not 100% about debranding. If the phone is unlocked you should be ok using a btu (international) rom.
Make sure you know your efs version if you plan on flashing anything less than 4.3.
The answer to your question is no. You do not need to unroot but you WIll lose root.
Sent from a stolen phone!
The best way is to tell your uncle to restore stock firmware debloated.
Otherwise,find out your baseband version and model number and search xda for the CORRECT rom and flash it using ODIN.
Hi guys,
I need firmware 4.1.1 for the samsung S III I9300, I literally spent all day yesterday looking and found several links but they were all hotfile links that are obv. dead.
The phone is currently locked to o2 UK not sure if I need the firmware to be of the same carrier..?
I want to flash the firmware via ODIN so then I can unlock the bootloader myself and then use the 'secret code' to network unlock in order to flash the latest Lineage..
Please help..pulling my hair out!!!!!
Thanks in advance
The bootloader was never locked for this phone.
If the phone is running a stock 4.3 bootloader, you cannot downgrade the bootloader.

Someone badly misinformed you. If your phone is locked to o2 you must flash o2 firmware. Once the simlock is off you can flash any firmware.
If you have upgraded to 4.3 you cannot unlock the sim lock. There is no secret code. It was done by hex editing a file but is obsolete on 4.3.
If you are rooting to flash lineage you root via chainfire and odin, flash a custom recovery via odin and then flash lineage from the custom recovery you flashed.
If you want simlock off and you're on 4.3 you have to pay for it. Downgrading isn't possible unless you have a copy of your efs from 4.1.1.
