I have galaxy s6.I am so confused right now because my phone's settings says that the model of my phone is sm-g920f but when i boot into odin mode it says that my phone model is sm-g920p.I made a little research on that so i thought my original model is sm g920p and i am looking forward to update it from marshmallow to nouget.All stock roms in internet says different things like Region and 3 letter product code etc when i try to download it.I dont know if my phone is sprint version or not so is it okey if i install different region rom? with different product code?
I guess my phone is factory unlocked because i can use any type of sim card that used in my country (i live in asia)
Sorry English is my second language so i am struggling to write that (laughter)
Conclusion:My main question is---Can i flash any roms even if its spirint rom with 3 letter product code? or i must flash the exact rom that suits my device if so how can i find if my phone is verizon or spirint etc? By the way on my device there is no service provider name like spirint.The only word i got at the back of my phone is samsung.And the other few words that i have no idea about.
Please help me. :')

Hi.
I have a problem with my Note. I bought the Korean version of the phone (at leats it should be) but the specifications of the phone are driving me crazy lol
As I said, when I bought it, it should be the Korean version, however the rom running on it is from AT&T (AT&T splash screen, AT&T wifi hotspots in the settings, AT&T phone update and so on). The phone is rooted. When I run a device info app, it’s a mess:
Android version: 2.3.6
Release Codename: REL
CPU ABI: armeabi-v7a
CPU ABI2: armeabi
Hardware: SHV-E160L
Board: MSM8660_SURF
Device: SGH-I717
Display: GINGERBREAD.Jhonms.557419
Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-i717
Product: SGH-I9220
Even though I don’t understand some of this info, there are 3 things that intrigue me. The CPU, I guess it’s from the Korean version, since it seems the AT&T devices have a QUALCOMM processor. But the weirdest part for is the Hardware (SHV-E160L) and the Device and Model (SGH-I717) information. Shouldn’t that be the same in all the information? So my phone is it the AT&T model or the Korean model? The guy who sold it to me told me it was the Korean model but they change something in the ROM to support Chinese (I live in China), and the Korean ROM doesn’t support Chinese. However, I want to put the original Korean ROM because it has the NFC already working, while in the AT&T build I have in my phone, it’s not activated yet. So, anyway can anyone tell me which model I have?
And, if it's the Korean model, how did he put the AT&T ROM on it? I thought you couldn't mess the S7000, SI717, etc model roms?!
Thanks in advance.
This is all correct for an i717 at&t model.
hi,
i am also living in china and i guess i have the same device with yours.
i checked some web sites and they said at&t model doesn't have any physical home button.
but mine has it and the korean model (E160L) has it, too.
so i guess the hardware is from korea but the rom is not the original one.
does your device has '掌界网www_dot_wpcnn_dot_com' in Build number?
if so, it must be the same as mine.
i am thinking whether i can rewrite E160L original rom by modifying some information in build.prop. but i haven't succeeded in doing it because i don't know correct data in E160L's build.prop. (i am thinking samsung kies can update the rom to E160L's one if i fake it to E160L)
this device supports LTE though. i don't know if it's enabled on this device or not.
*#2263# doesn't the menu for it.
and i tried to install CMW (for SGH-I717) by odin3 today. flashing it to the device was ok. but the device cannot get in recovery mode....(infinite loop of booting)
anyway, this rom sucks.

Was anyone able to flash CWM on this? I am also having a loopy-recovery.
AFAIK... CMW = for ENGLISH, FRENCH and SPANISH etc ...languages.... and not set for 128bit character languges (am not sure iof right-correct tech word for chinese kange etc sorry to lazy to look that word up!)
the CMW = for 'western languages' only
Smart for S'sung = KOREAN MODELS = as non western languages .....
((( that they designagted that as "INTERNATIONAL MODEL" phones different MODEL NUMBER to ATT/Rodgers etc )))
There is a thread from one OP = about BOUNTY for making "korean models' able to do CMW + ATT/Roders ROMS etc ,,,,, you can search for there for my comments ..
Cheers , hope this helps towards some explinations of CMW/Drivers etc between two models of NOTE

First of all, I'm from China, my English is not very well, maybe you can't understand what I'm saying. I'm so sorry to my college English teacher that I haven't learn hard in his class.
Now let's entering the title：
I have a SAMSUNG Exhilarate(SGH-I577 AT&T) which my sister bring back from NewYork, and I want it to use my Chinamobile SIM card, and there comes the problem. When I insert my Chinamobile SIM card into the phone, it needs me to input "sim network unlock pin" ,but I don't have this number.
First what I'm thinking is to flash a rom, but this phone model doesn't released in China, I've been searched for 2 days, and finally find it's rom in this forum, I've downloaded two roms

I've been successfully flashing both of them, but when I insert my Chinamobile SIM card, it all needs to input "sim network unlock pin" :crying:
I searched whole day to find a way to unlock this, I've tried Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool, it doesn't work. Someone said there is a nv_data.bin file in the system, but I haven't found it even by using ReExplorer. Then I find Samsung tool and installed in my computer, but it doesn't work, does this software need to purchase?
So anybody call tell me how to unlock my phone, Is there any expert, proficient, mybe god can help me, Can someone give me a detailed description how to do this,
you can reply to this thread or send me an email:[email protected]
I'll give you my best regard.

My father always says that I keep learning from the forums and I never write anything. Well now something discovered by me. At least I believe so after browsing Internet for several hours.
I read the above recomendation of "kew1701" about flashing a modem of the t989 to the i577, and I thought: That will probably brick my i577 because the i577 is LTE and the t989 don't. It worked for the t769 because the t769 is not LTE either. And both the t989 and the t769 are for T-Mobile.
So I decided to give the try on my i577 with the modem I use to unlock the i727, the UCLD2. I assured my i577 was on ICS 4.0.4 and installed the modem with TWRP.
I originally downloaded that modem from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029650
(I thank that thread).
Followed the *#197328640# steps and it worked like a charm! Unlocked!. IMEI intact and all working. Now probably will flash back a i577 stock firmware, if I find it.
(My phone was on 4.0.4 UCLH3)
Enjoy.
Nice

Hi,
Long story!
I got an S3 from a friend who need help because it was very slow and whatnot, anyways, he also told me that this S3 is not from UAE but it's working fine here, just very slow.
I said well, I will install a UAE firmware and hard rest it, which I did but ever since, I get this NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK.
I read every possible thread about this issue here and elsewhere and tried all methods like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z6zTfe-sC4
None of it worked out for me.
I tried another Android firmwares (4.3 Etisalat UAE, 4.2.1 Etisalat UAE and finally 4.3 T-Mobile Germany)
The reason, I chose Germany is because when I did first the hard reset before installing the UAE firmware, the phone was in German, so I had to choose English.
Now, obviously something in the UAE firmware is not compatible with the phone, maybe modem, basband...I don't know.
How do I know which firmware to download from sammobile and from which country.
I'm not even sure that it's Germany! It could be Austria, Swiss and even Germany has many operators, O2, T-mobile, Vodafone etc......
Is it even possible to restore the phone to it's very original software after trying all of these Firmwares? I doubt it.
One more thing, from the threads I read here and there about this problem, this issue has to do with the IMEI but it's not my case I think.
When I hit *#06# I get a regular IMEI, nothing lost.
PLEASE HELP!
Thank You in advance
Take it back to your friend. It's either stolen and imei blacklisted or region locked now you updated it to 4.3.
Search and read to find out more.

hehehe!
This friend of mine works at the Norwegian Embassy and his phone he got it from the Norwegian staff there, but it was bought outside the country.
And he has been using it for over a year .
Anyways, I went to samsung and it's either software or motherboard because the IMEI is showing on the device meaning it's written on the software but it got corrupted on the hardware.
will see
waiting for their call
Motherboard
Hello everyone first time posting on her, anyway my brother in France sent me a Galaxy s5 it was running lollipop 5.0 so naturally i wanted to upgrade i did a manual update search but it said that's the recent one so i took a look under the battery and the stickers says my phone model is SM-G900T but when you boot in odin mode at the top it says the model is SM-G900P so i got confused after that i went to sammobile and downloaded marshmallow for both models and tried to flash them m. The T-Mobile's one failed odin said something about authorization but the sprint one went okay the phone works okay great in fact i rooted it and everything exept i can't get 4g to work only 3g i searched in the forums and found out about unlocking band 3 but i have to have an MSL code or something and i have no idea how to do that. The phone is unlocked by the way i live in Tunisia and get data and calls fine so my questions are
1- what's the correct model of my phone?
2- how to enable band 3 so i can get 4g on my phone?
Any help would be appreciated thank you guys
