Hi Everyone,
Apologies in advance, i'm a noob at all this but please read my post. I just need some help
Recently i've attempted to install a custom ROM on my Galaxy S8 ( SM-G950F ) and in the 1st attempt, managed to somehow get the phone into a boot loop. I went on to flash the original firmware via ODIN, which was successful and the phone was back to original, but now i have an issue when trying to use Google Pay, or Netflix. It keeps saying the phone has been modified and not allowing me. Is there a way around this at all? I don't understand why it's now not working since it's back to stock firmware. If anyone can help me out that would be greatly appreciated. I'm willing to provide some $$ if needed.
Thanks all in advance.

What do you mean 7 or 8 number from imei? The latest software is used mate that is correct.
7 and 8 number from imei is know as Country code , so look for Firmware for Country code you can also look for 4 file firmware for your device which you can search on the internet or try with DBT version is Germany but mostly German firmware can fix some issue . Good Luck

The reason it says your on the latest firmware is because you are rooted. At&t firmware is hard to come by as they lock the bootloader and device down. If you are not bothered about root flash stock firmware and you can uodate OTA.
I have the same problem except that my phone is not rooted, im on stock AT&T Android 5, but it still says i have the latest firmware.
Someone told me that it has to be connected to AT&T cell towers to find the update but even that didn't work for me.

I will give it a shot but first i need to find the stock firmware because its hard to find for my device specifications, and i will let you know if it worked for me
Edit: flashing the stock firmware locks phone to only at&t network since i use different network i will not try to update it
Hi Team,
I purchased Samsung S7-Edge (unlocked) in USA and started using in India. I received Nougat update when i started using in India. It was running on Nougat until recently mobile started restarting continuously. So, i downloaded Firmware (Android 6.0 ) of UK region and tried to flash it using Odin. Mobile started working properly. Later upon connecting to Wi-Fi (connected in India), i received a message to update to Android 7.0. After the update mobile started restarting displaying Samsung Logo. So, i tried cleared the Cache; then it shows updating apps (7 out of 23) and keeps on restarting again.
Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue ?
I am not sure if i have picked right Firmware version as i purchased it in USA and using it in India. I have Serial Number & IMEI number with me. I remember the Firmware version at the time of Purchase was UAE, but not sure if it is from LYS OR XSG.
Try with German DBT latest or look firmware 4 files for your device .

Thank you so much Teddy. I flashed with DBT version and it worked !!!!. Initial startup took too much time. So, i thought it didn't work. So, i have flashed with other countries firmware as well. But, in the end before giving up i again installed DBT and left the mobile untouched for entire night. Thank God!, it started working..
Thanks a Ton!!!!

Hi All,
As Teddy suggested i have downloaded DBT firmware for my SM-G935F and flashed it. It started working fine. But, after oreo update, it again goes into Bootloop. I will remind that the mobile is purchased in USA but im not aware of the Firmware's location. Please help me in understanding if i connect to Wi-Fi, updates are downloaded which are release for Firmware's Country ??
I observed a strange behaviour. When i have updated Google app by opening Play store, mobile suddenly switched Off and went into Boot Loop.
Please help me with the Firmware Selection and if there are any best and permanent solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Sri

Hi , if you have removed FRP lock , dial *#06# to see if your IMEI is showing up if not , then you broke partitions on which is stored IMEI and all information for phone .
What you can try is to flash latest 4 file repair firmware for your region with pit file using ODIN ...
Find on the internet those files : )

Don't use Lolipop at all because you will probably broke bootloader , because Samsung has prevented Downgrade from Android 7 or 6 to android 5 because of secure bootloader .
Send me what was original firmware before downloading which region and that ? : )

Hello
I have a s9+ with G965USQS6CSH5 build number and i cant find a android 10 file to flash with this exact build number. Can i flash the android 10 firmware of another G965U model ? I dont mind losing some features as long as they are not crucial.

Sorry for the question , I'm from Mexico and I just bought a SM965 U from Verizon, the issue is that I would like to change the firmware to have a unbranded Samsung one with Android 10. Also I noticed Verizon phones don't allow to use test mode , so do you think if I flash SM - G965 U1 FIRM I will get those changes ? Or is it possible to brick the phone or loose essential features
