Many thanks for your video and helpful webpage, it helped me to figure out how to flash the stock firmware for a different network provider onto my S5 to sort out a missed call when wifi enabled problem and also meant the phone was rid of the previous network branding and bloatware. Thanks muchly!
This didn't work for me first time, I had to find an old firmware version that better matched my device's manufactoring date. Fortunately Mr Wolf's guide (linked in the description) has links to two firmware sites, the later (Samsung-Updates) has a large repository of firmware that is free. Thanks very VERY MUCH MrW0lf!!!!!!

After re-flashing the stock Samsung Galaxy S5 At&t firmware my cellular data doesn't work and I am not able to install any At&t software updates. I also noticed that the At&t Galaxy S5 stock firmware I downloaded is not like the stock and fully updated software that I had on my phone before.

I've tried to flash the stock firmware of SM-G900M into my SM-G900T without rooting and I'd got a FAIL message on Odin. Do you know if should I root first? Is it safe to flash another's country firmware on my phone?
I recently tried to root my Galaxy S6 but it failed and ended up in having the phone constantly on the start up screen. I this called 'bricked' or 'bootlooped' ? and i was wondering if i can restore my phone back to normal by using this technique but with an S6 version? Please help, thanks.

Hello, I have a Verizon Galaxy s5, but I've switched back to tmobile. My question is, can I flash the tmobile rom onto my Verizon phone by using the method you show here. My phone reads the sim fine, but the techs at tmobile suggested I might want to change the software over to the tmobile version. I just want to make sure it's possible before I ruin the phone by mistake. Thanks so much!

Hello,
I have a Verizon Galaxy s5, but I've switched back to tmobile. My question is, can I flash the tmobile rom onto my Verizon phone by using the method you show here. My phone reads the sim fine, but the techs at tmobile suggested I might want to change the software over to the tmobile version. I just want to make sure it's possible before I ruin the phone by mistake. Thanks so much!
Khere00 No you cant flashing different FW to your device will soft brick it
Thanks ***** so glad I didn't attempt it!

What is your current build number, what is the build number of the FW file? and if it possible plz screenshot or copy the fail message of odin3
***** it's giving me a fused > 2 binary 1 error.
will this damage or remove any apps or games you installed, unlink accounts, or fuck up any settings you have set? (I wanna do this) Also, how does one backup a phone? (My stuffs won't show up in the folder for my phone on pc)
I don't like what the lollypop update has done to whatsapp. Ppls pictures are circles which is really crap. If I downgrade the app using a app I installed called appdowner will it work and go bk to before where pics were square. Or is this only because of the whole software update? I have the version 2.11.505 on whatsapp. Whats the previous version?
I'm sorry but I have no idea about whatsapp _I never use or deal with it_
