Hi,
I have used Odin several times to repair phones and remove FRP (by downgrading so it becomes possible). However, last time I almost bricked a phone by downloading non compatible firmware for it. It was the right model, but something else was wrong (maybe binary). It would not even connect to pc anymore at first but I managed to fix it eventually with other firmware.
So my question is how can I download the correct firmware in the future, I know how to check which firmware is on the phone already and what binary it should have, by going into download mode. Can someone please specify:
-What things to pay attention to, like model number and binary.
-How to identify the right firmware
-What do all the letters after the model number (G950U, galaxy S8 US version) mean in for example this firmware name: G950UOYN2BQL1
I could not find answers anywhere to these questions so I hope someone can help, thank you.
Hello, you can download correct firmwares via SamFirm. Download from here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

Hello, I made the mistake of trying to use a remote unlocking service on eBay to unlock my LS992, but the person performing the operation somehow managed to brick my phone. The device is stuck on download mode, and though he attempted to re-flash the firmware it was unsuccessful. I was on the line with him for several hours with no fix in sight. He claims that the phone was on software version ZVA, but I am unable to confirm that as the phone is bricked, however, when I connect to LGUP it reports the version as LS992V3. I'm not sure if it is correct.
So the bottom line is, I would like to try to reflash the phone for myself, but I am unable to find the .dll files for the Sprint variant anywhere to flash with LG UP. I'm also unsure of what version stock firmware I should flash, as he said that flashing the wrong firmware might hard brick. Any insight on what to do will be greatly appreciated, or at the very the correct .dll file to use when flashing.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Dear xda users,
Ic would like to use your professional opinion and solutions about how to get my phone rooted. That's came to me from Sprint originally on Snapdragon but already unlocked for carriers. I have failed several times by updating custom rom through ODIN. Nothing didn't work. I could easily change stock firmware from Sam Sammobile between T-Mobile and Sprint but doesn't help me with root either.
As I have read the whole day different topics about, seems to be that locked bootloader prevent me to use custom rom or recovery with ODIN. I have even tried to make option "OEM Unlocked" visible but no chance. With a screenshot u may see the screen of my Download mode. Maybe would you have any idea and fresh solution for it?
By the way. Only reason to have root it's just to add Russian as interface language. I have tried MoreLocale but changes didn't save after smartphone reboot.
Please HELP!

I would appreciate anyones help. I have a Huawei Mate 20 Pro Model LYA-L29. When I run the commands it tells me this about my Firmware Version:
VENDORCOUNTRY: HW/SPSEAS
BASE VERSION: LYA-LGRP2-OVS 9.1.0.357
CUSTOM VERSION: LYA-L29-CUST 9.1.0.11 (AUSC636)
OEMINFOREAD: LYA-L29-PRELOAD 9.0.0.1(C636R2)
I want to upgrade to EMUI 10 but whenever I try using HiSuite, HiCare App on Phone it says my version is up to date.
Is there any way to upgrade this phone? I have not unlocked the Bootloader because Huawei is not issuing Codes to do so.
I'd appreciate anyones help with this.
Thanks
i have the same problem
Hello, same issus here
1st thing i would try is to contact huawei support chat.
now the more extreme diy method may break safetynet and stop things such as google pay from working. if you decide to try it, you have been warned.
you can manually force an update through USB OTG.
there is a thread on this forum called "How to update Huawei Mate 20 Pro With Locked Bootloader"
it has the information you need to get it to work.
for the greatest chance of success, you want a firmware with the same cust/preload region as yours
(in the case of the OP this would be C636R2)
note, this can only be done with full firmware files, not updates.
you can use an app called "firmware finder for huawei" (play store) which you can use to find and download the full firmware file.
also, forcing the incorrect firmware will brick your phone. very easy to get confused and try to force a firmware meant for another model completely.
theoretically L29 and L09 variants should both work, however your dual sim functionality might stop working.
I did this sort of thing last year and haven't looked at it for a very long time, just giving some info which may get you on the path if you wish to try the diy method.
ANyone tried? how was it? does it work

hi all,
I have Samsung SM-G935W8 (in Canada), bought used from someone. recently, try to play with android, and realized the phone PDA was G935UUEU4BRD1, and model was SM-G935U which is different from the model that showing on back cover. think the guy flashed a different rom for this phone.
couple days ago, I did hard factory reset for no reason, and get google account locked. then search online and learning how to fix it. seems like need to flash combination rom --> use tool bypass frp --> flash official rom to solve this issues.
i downloaded many combination firmware and all failed on odin flash. until i use one that allowed me to flash and success to open the phone as Factory Binary. But, I noticed the phone model changed to SM-G935A, which is AT&T firmware. the android version is 6.0.1, when I try to run program to do FRP bypass, no luck, think that because I can't turn on OEM- Unlock option(can't find it on developer option tough)? or bootloader locked?
now, I can only flash official rom that from AT&T, and android 8 that I can find it. if the phone can be fixed FRP issues, model change to G935A is fine, I dont care that model, I dont use the phone for call, only for wifi and camera. and maybe later can play flash to other model of ROM. not sure if possible.
current, the working combination rom I flashed is PDA : G935UUCUBATA1
ADB FRP to bypass FRP (not working)
and flashed to AT&T rom PDA: G935AUCUBCTB1_G935AATTBCTB1_8.0.0
FRP still not bypassed, and stuck on google account validation screen. any advice how and what tools can bypass FRP for this phone now model is SM-G935A? thanks in advance!
My model is LM-G850FMW, which is a Chinese version. But LG has already withdrawn from China, and I cannot find the firmware. Now my phone cannot be turned on, I need a firmware. Can you provide me with a firmware? Or method. I can’t find this firmware anywhere.
help me.
LM-G850FMW
v10a-cno-cn
Android 9
Or do not use the original firmware, as long as it can save my phone.
Currently cannot enter twrp but Download mode and 9008 mode are available.
I can’t find it, how can you repair your phone when there is no firmware available?
