Trying to register my S5 online, at Samsung.ca and I fill in the SM-G900W8 for model number then there is another drop down looking for model code, with the same model number and then a series of letters afterwards. I have checked the about on the phone, the box, etc and can't find any of these codes, and I can't complete the registration without it. Where do I find this code?

Thanks
 
I suggest you call Samsung support. On my retail box for the phone I do see a SW version that does seem to be what you are looking for but I can't confirm that is what you need to enter.
 
If the AT&T was doing their job right when you bought the phone, they would have registered it as part of the setup when they were transferring files and photos over from the old phone before you walked out the door. Mine was all taken care of when I bought the phone. Maybe go back to where you bought it and ask and have them do it for you.
 
I'm with Rogers. I'll call tomorrow and war the more detailed model is. I imagine the different codes refer to the county it's sold in.
 
What did you find out about this? I too am with Rogers and I too have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900W8 and I too am trying to register it on Samsung.ca Production Registration but have no idea where to find or what my "Model Code" is...2 examples from the rather long list of options on Samsung.ca Production Registration SM-G900WZBABMC SM4G900WZBARWC

Thanks, this solved my question. "...you can download and install, free from the Play Store, Phone Info and it will give you, under Firmware Info... PDA, Baseband, CSC, versions. This app also has the advantage of showing your phone's Product code which can be useful if there is more than one firmware for your CSC code."

I downloaded Phone Info and under the CSC CODE tab my Product Code which apparently is also my Model Code was clearly listed.

Unfortunately I found this after I had already used Samsung website Chat and spent considerable time Chatting with a Rep who used my IMEI to find the same Product Code/Model Code. I asked the Rep if I could have found the Product Code/Model Code in anyway and I was told no, it was only available through Samsung using "a database" that is linked to my IMEI

gah

Cheers
