Samsung Galaxy C5 Pro SM-C5018 “Nand write start fail”

• Solving this bug in the Odin tool is difficult but not complicated. Nand is a non-volatile memory that stores data while the phone is off. When we install new firmware, Odin tries to write NAND, which is the first thing Odin does and this is the most important part in flashing.
• If the Odin logs are stuck at NAND Write for more than a minute or two, you can assume that there is something wrong with NAND Write that needs to be fixed. Make sure that OEM Unlocking is enabled, Use Odin version 3.13.1, try again above Process again. Read More – Fixing Nand write start fail

Install the android version that still not officially supported on Samsung Galaxy C5 Pro SM-C5018

• We know that some Samsung Galaxy devices have not yet received the latest Android Version, which also depends on the region (Samsung’s upgrade is based on region).
• Imagine that you are in Singapore and have a Pie on your device. If you want to upgrade to the latest android version and if the latest version is not supported in your country. Don’t worry. Still, you can flash the latest version, find the right model from the nearest country. Find the right Model number and flash it. (Not recommended but still working).

• When you flash a new custom ROM which found from the internet, you will inevitably get errors if it is still test-level. such as the camera fails, WiFi fails, the NFC Fails, the GPS fails, hotspot fails, Bluetooth Fails…
• But is there a chance to downgrade / Comeback to Android Marshmallow, Oreo, Nougat, Pie? I’d like to say. Yes.  Find a suitable Android version and flash it like the guide above

Download Country/Carrier Based Stock Rom 

You can see there are many versions on the same Samsung galaxy. Country / Carrier, PDA, CSC. This is because Samsung designs the operating system to targeting countries ( USA, US, Uk, Korea, India, Thailand, Philippine, Australia, Africa, France, Italy, Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Sri Lanka, German, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Bangladesh, Turkey, Poland, Netherland, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic…) These Stock Roms are not different, but pre-installed applications and frequencies may be different. So, Select your country or the nearest country. (Nearest Country not recommend but you can try).
