G900i Firmware

[Raymond Freedman]

AttentionThis firmware for Galaxy S5 mobile is compatible with model SM-G900I only and should not be installed on any other model.The firmware version is Android 6.0.1, most phone manufacturers don't allow you to downgrade the system to an earlier version.Installation is at your own risk.

However, that last vulnerability was part of a proprietary binary blob for controlling the Qualcomm LTE chipset, only patchable by Samsung themselves. It took a while for the Samsung updates to roll out, and then I got distracted for a while, but I finally downloaded my firmware. The package I've used is "G900IDVU1CPH3", which seems to be compatible at least with the three NZ-based carriers, as well as all the Australian carriers.

The beginning of fix for me came from turboyz on Github, at the bottom of this post: (Edit 2020-04-12: GitHub Issue 348 from -Dobell/Heimdall/ has been deleted); however, he's manually made a couple changes to BridgeManager.cpp, which appear to be no longer necessary. We can simply build it from source:

I happen to have an issue on my phone currently where, even though the modem and LTE drivers have both been successfully installed, and even thought the Quadrooter tester is no longer showing any vulnerabilities, my Baseband version on my phone is still shown as the old one. I haven't been able to figure out why yet, but I don't think I'll worry about it for now. There have been reports that you should first do this with --no-reboot, wait for the update to complete, then pull your battery, then when you power back on, immediately go back into download mode and re-flash. Apparently this helps update the recognised Baseband version, but to be honest it didn't help me.

If you're completely 100% lucky and absolutely nothing goes wrong, you win! You should now have the most recent Samsung modem and LTE chipset drivers available for your phone... without having to roll back to the stock Samsung firmware.

Incidentally, if you want to save gigabytes and time downloading said firmware, and if your phone is precisely a Samsung Galaxy S5 (G900I), and if you definitely want firmware G900IDVU1CPH3, I've extracted the important files (modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin) and stored them here:

Firstly, I downloaded the most-recent Telstra firmware image. At time of writing, that's G900IDVU1CQJ2. Telstra appears to be the only carrier still releasing stock firmware for this phone, so I downloaded the Telstra version even though we're connecting to Spark New Zealand. This means the phone will at least be running the most up-to-date baseband and modem firmware.

Note - if you try this, and find that the recent (international) version doesn't work properly with your local carriers, download the older (local) package, and flash the modem.bin and the NON-HLOS.bin packages from the local one instead.

This descripts the partition table on the phone. In particular, it tells you which files in your firmware package should be uploaded to which partitions. I ended up with the following Heimdall flash line:

After the phone was flashed up to the current Stock firmware, I made sure it booted correctly, and then went ahead and converted the phone to my beloved LineageOS, happy in the knowledge that all the "other bits" of the firmware were all updated.

This question does not appear to be about a specific programming problem, a software algorithm, or software tools primarily used by programmers. If you believe the question would be on-topic on another Stack Exchange site, you can leave a comment to explain where the question may be able to be answered.

Yes! You can. But, for doing it you need to change your phone's CSC code.

Samsung was using an special CSC file included in Android firmware which are specifically built and designates to each country or mobile network providers.

Changing the CSC code to the corresponding country's CSC of which you want to flash the firmware will work for you!
