[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diegog0d:
hi

I bought a secondhand galaxy S5. A have been trying to upgrade it to lollipop 5.0 but I have encounter all the possible problems you can. I start with the phones background (i am a new user so i cant post any images) because I am suspecting the first owner did root/update it with the wrong firmware(explain later). the phone is working fine except for the play store that is not working at all. so I just want a clean stock installation and after that I may root it later.

Phone info on the back of the phone when retiring the battery:

MODEL: SM-G900F

FCC ID: A3LSMG900F

SSN: -G900FGSMH

Phone info in menu settings about phone:

MODEL NUMBER: SM-G900F

BASEBAND VERSION: G900TUVU1ANCH

KERNEL VERSION: 3.4.0-964333 dpi@SWDD5018 #1 Wed Mar 26 13:30:42 KST 2014

BUILD NUMBER: KOT49H.G900FZHU1AND1

SECURITY SOFTWARE VERSION: MDF v1.0 RELEASE 2 VPN v1.4 RESEASE 1

From what I understand my phone is a G900F, what i don't understand is why the first owner installed the G900TUVU1ANCH version. I want to put everything as it is supposed to be and also upgrade to 5.0 by doing it. But when trying to flash the stock firmwire i am stuck facing problems....

When trying to flash with odin (using the only the PDA, auto reboot and f.reset time check-boxes) i get the following error:

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

And on the phone i get the following error (Notice it says SM-G900T is the model number but in the phone information in the settings menu and in the sticker under the battery it says it is a SM-G900F):
