I have a semi-bricked N9300 dual sim from Hongkong (TGY).

No matter which firmware I try odin always fails with that dreaded "check sw rev failed" - aka the rom is not the right one apparently.

I tried the latest firmware available at samsung-firmware.net (or something) from 10th of october 2016 - but I think there was an even newer firmware installed on this thing.

TWRP is still working - so if theres a way to "downgrade" with TWRP by flashing partitions directly with DD that would work also I guess.

Please help - I tried to flash a modem part only (CP) and since then the phone is in a bootloop. Before I had it running and charging fine (combination of hongkong system partition and a customized chinese kernel which had the charging block disabled).

Is there any way to figure out which software/firmware is actually installed?

getprop tells me [ro.bootloader]: [N9300ZHU3BQB1]

but the latest firmware available online at samsung-firmware.net is N9300ZHU2BPJ4 version.
