1. Are the writings on the box in English or other language
2. Check under "About Phone" section.....that does it say about baseband and kernal versions?
Baseband n7000xxkj4 kernel 2.6.35.7-n7000xxkj4-cl641703 [email protected]#2 what does that mean I am lost
http://www.sammobile.com/showthread.php?t=36
You're welcome
Isn't it easier to just look on the back of the box your Note came in and see what the web address is at the bottom left under GT-N7000? Mine says www.samsung.pl because it is the Polish version.

I have just checked my phone....your Baseband and Kernel are exactly the same as mine, which is a POLISH version.
Does it say www.samsung.pl at the back of the box? I mean, the writings at the back of the box should be Non-English.
Hope this helps

Some people really make me laugh, why would you ask help for a clone in the ''official'' galaxy s4 forums ? no one will help you here.
It's the same thing if you go to the samsung forum and ask help for your clone

Probably because he's asking for firmware for an S4 clone that doesn't share any of the same hardware with the official S4. Not possible.
Screw you too derpy
this is one of the disadvantages in buying a cloned phone
We are surrounded with idiots in real life.. Why would it be different here?
You buy a fake s4 clone then you blame yourself.. As said above... A cloned phone would be the same as the original except the fact that it's not made by Samsung. But this is not even a clone since it doesn't even have the same hardware components. How can you be such an idiot to ask for help with it WHEN IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE? SHEESH

But it looks the same on the outside so that totally means it's the same right? Except for no-name Chinese clones they usually don't even get that right.
:silly:
No, you got it wrong, Clone is the brand, S4 is the model... So its REALLY a Clone S4...
But honestly, the S4 has hardware that your clone doesn't. It is no different than saying "I have an S3 and want to flash an S4 rom on it, HOW?"...
They are completely different and you will in most likely hood end up with a brick... Worse, you don't have a Stock rom to flash to fix... You're screwed if you flash ANYTHING...
hi here it goes ROM
http://youtu.be/WQSoYRFgJ-Q

Flash with SP Flash Tool
Sorry if this sounds like a silly question but i just bought an s4 unbranded ( i'm in australia by the way ). 16gb internal memory, arctic blue colour and jb 4.2.2.
Which varient is this?
Boot into download mode. there you can see your model.
from that reply i now know i need a litre of coffee! I checked for an update on the phone and found there was one so now i'll wait for the download to finish and hopefully, it will be something that i can see on the live samsung updates site. After that i can root the phone.

Hi

It will tell you everything you need to know , works great
Over the years, I noticed that the firmware for the market to hong kong always remain a step backwards compared to those for the European market, in particular for Poland. Also for the Notes 4, the European market has got the firmware version ANJ4 while Hong Kong still have version ANJ3.
For these reasons I have not yet taken the N910U. I'm wrong?
Up!
For Note 10.1 updates for Polish firmware were always first or close to being first - at least in the beginnnng - (I have a theory that Samsung was using us as beta-testers ). But I don't know if it's true for other Samsung devices. Also there seems to be a big mess on our market with Note 4 - we can choose from versions C, U and F in different stores - but no store is 100% sure if we will get the version they state. There might be differences in times of updates for those various versions for Polish market too.... I chose C, but am not sure what I will get, really (it seems to be most available though, only one store had U).
Thank you Magnesus! Can you say me where can I buy the sm-n910c(an online store with paypal)? I'm in Italy.
I don't know, Polish stores usually don't ship abroad I think and no PayPal support. I bought mine at vobis.pl. We have quite high prices too so I wouldn't recommend buying from Poland.
Yes the prices are very high ,I have seen them here: http://geizhals.eu/samsung-galaxy-note-4-n910c-schwarz-a1161556.html
Still thanks!
Regards
i have the N910U one..and as u can see in sammobile N910U and N910C are up to date till now ..so i think samsung will make all equal from now on i think?
and i checked it N910U build date is 6th october, and N910C in 8th october..
Not all of them, Hong Kong variant differ from Poland variant: NJ3 < NJ4

You will be able to flash NZ firmware on HK version as they are both N910U. I've ordered mine and should be here early next week.

I wouldn't have a clue as I haven't even looked at NJ3. Don't hold your breath with the changelog, Samsung never say whats changed. All you can go on is the change list in build.prop.
NJ4 has this ro.build.changelist=2816635. Whats NJ3 say?

Yes, but I'm in Europe(Italy). With Poland rom I have always found italian language on all items, settings menu, keyboard, etc .. Instead, with my old galaxy s4 Exynos(for Asiatic market) one time I had flashed another rom(more updated) but the keyboard and some voices of the menu was in Korean/Chinese, no italian and no English. In another words, with Poland rom I'm (almost)sure that the language fit my needed.

Hello
I bought this note 3 on ebay and it is GSM unlocked I'm using it on Dominican Republic with Claro. It works great and everything looks ok. I was worried that I bought a fake one and I downloaded and apps call CPU-z and it says it is original.
The smartphone came with android 4.3 and I want to upgrade to kitkat but I try downloading Kies and it says it have the latest firmware I also try going to settings >>about the phone>> software update and it says that I have to try later and I also try to install Verizon upgrade assistant and it says it not compatible or something like that.
Pliz can someone help or at least explain me what happen? Did I get a fake phone? Or what?

It seems as if you have flashed the wrong cscs or something as it is showing several different things I would find the stock firmware and start clean
Thank you for the answer, I get this phone from china.
So I didnt flash anything.
The strange thing is that the S/N on the back site is not the same when I search via *#06#.
On the back site is written like SM-G950F.
maybe is a fake one ....... as I Know the S8 series an others .... are built in Vietnam

This may also be true I have seen a lot of 'clones' in my day and can tell em apart sometimes
May be one of those cross flashed refurbs
We had this issue in lg g4s real bad claim to be one model with other firmwares....ended up being 1 model with other parts and other firmwares which made for a crap of a time
Heres the issue you have a exynos model according to some info and us snap model by others. So its real hard as you may need to find what true bootloader is on the device as you may brick trying to restore as snaps are bootloader locked
I would contact the seller and ask What is up that you know something isnt right. And you are not happy as you cannot upgrade as the device has much misleading info inside it
Thank you for the information , maybe its a refurbished phone.
I will have to contact the seller.
