Can we do it ? Thanks.

Hi,
There are hardware differences, and installing that ROM to your device will permanantly brick your phone. There are methods that can be used to port ROMS but this even results in issues.

I have an i9502 and have successfully flashed a stock i9500 ROM on it. Stating the obvious though, you LOSE functionality on the 2nd SIM slot. Other than that, the device works perfectly fine.
The only reason I bought the i9502 was because it was the only one available with 32GB internal. The 32GB was more important to me than the 2nd SIM
FYI, I used ODIN to flash the ROM.

:good:
This is something very useful information. As so far on all forums on web, people are saying that it is not possible and it will brick the phone.
now you came up with some thing new that the only loss is that of 2nd sim functionality.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

No problem. Yup, I searched through all the forums as well and all said the same thing (it will brick your phone). I took a chance anyway because the hardware is almost identical and thought it would be worth trying.
Got lucky I can confirm that i9500 ROM does work on i9502 (again, keep in mind you will lose 2nd SIM)

Its a relief to know this so thanks a lot for subjecting your I9502 to a guinea-pig test. The anxious wait is for a modified Rom for the I9502 with both SIMs functioning. That would make me smile forever and ever!

Hi Jerry,
Yes, if you flash back the stock i9502 rom or a variant of the i9502 stock rom, you should get back dual sim functionality without any problems.

So far no one responded. I got a little bit busy in the last two weeks. I would be searching in Chinese forums for the same.
You can use online google translator to translate.

Hello everybody I' ve tried to install i9500 rom on my i9502 via twrp, the installatione went fine it boot and restored my google account and apps BUT my mobile network doesn' t want to connect, the phone ask me for the pin but i can' t make calls. So I was wondering if installing the modem i9502 could solve my problem

You can use only one sim with i9500 rom.
I try a few ROM i9500, but no one have a drivers for dual sim
I' ve managed to have the dual sim functionality, but i don' t know how I' ve done multiples attemps adding the modem files and suddenly it work, i' ve the two sim working but on the other hand i' ve got big instability of the whole rom with random reboot and fc, the rom was aurora rom. Unfortunately I'm no longer able to repeat the procedure just one question when i flash i9500 rom the sim that works is the one on the left of the flash?
Yes, or first slot (3G slot)
Hi guys, my dad is bring a n9008 back from China. It has the qualcom 800 cpu onboard. I have done alot research on this phone, and only found the guide to root and flash recovery. So my question is: is it possible to flash roms made for other variants( such as n9005) onto n9008? Since the n9008 won't support the wifi calling from TMO, i would rather put a CM or AOSP on it.

as always, you got your phone from china, get help there, in other words, if you want support, get yor phones in your own country, imagine this, you will get a warranty also, is not that amazing?, yes you save some money buying overseas, or from a no one knows about seller, but, at the end, you get no support, think abot that in the future,
Pray its not a fake

well i got the phone as a gift. so its not my choice at first place.
so far i'm able to install all of the n9005 roms(x note, omega, lidroid) and everything works flawlessly.
the tmobile rom can be installed normally, but i just cant turn on the wifi( it stucks at turning on screen)
anyone got a solution to that?
Now you can install a CM11 ROM!
I too have been given a GN3 as a gift but it's the N9008 model.
I tried flashing the latest N9005 KK stock firmware, but I had no luck.
Do you know if there's a possibility of "changing" the model to a N9005? Hardware wise I believe they are exactly the same?
I imagine LTE is also not on this particular model? Am I correct to say that all Snapdragons are capable of having LTE? Would it be the firmware that "enables" LTE?
I don't really want to be on the Chinese firmware.
I've rooted the device and got gapps on their, but I'd rather a proper international firmware.
If anybody can help, it'd be great.

Hi all -
I posted this question on CM forums - they suggest I also try here - I have a Cricket Galaxy S4 - post AT&T buyout. It is a GSM/LTE phone using CM11 and a Cricket SIM card. I was wondering if I am limited to CM11, or if I wanted to upgrade to CM13, would I just use the current jlfteatt builds? Anyone out there in a similar situation?
Thanks!

What's the exact phone model?
Since it already has CM11 you should also be able to get CM13 on it.
Both the "about phone" and sticker behind the battery say SGH-I337. Sorry for being noobish about it, but is that what you are referring to? I know the S4s cell in different flavors, but otherwise I just think it is the garden variety S4. I guess my main concern is all the talk about the basebsnd versions. Mine doesn't match exactly, but not sure if that is just about rooting the phone. I am of the same mindset that it should work if I have 11, but I can't afford to brick my phone just from a time perspective (never mind money as well ) but I want the shiny upgrade sooooo badly....?
Thanks!

There's nothing you can do about the basebands and bootloader. If you update them your device might get locked and no custom roms or root can flashed anymore.
Sincthe the phone already has CM11 I assume it isn't locked. So just flash a newer recovery (TWRP) and flash CM13.
Well now since I have a custom recovery Im looking for a custom rom. Does anyone know if there is one that will work?
Sorry to post again but lets get development going on this now I know theres smart people on the interwebs Lets see some aweaome custom roms please and thank you

This rom works just no data. no sim card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/orig-development/cyanogenmod-13-unofficial-t3384252
Not sure if it works, has anyone tried moving the two files from your stock ROM namely
i) /system/lib64/libsec-ril.so
ii)/system/lib64/libsec-ril-dsds.so (if available)
to any of custom ROM? It works for me with most of the custom ROMs here in xda. My phone is SM-G9287C which is dual sim and most of the custom ROMs here don't officially support the dual sim phone.
If sim/data signal still not appearing, get a supported kernel or write this line without the quote in your build.prop (after performing the above methods) "rild.libpath2=/system/lib64/libsec-ril-dsds.so", then restart your phone.
If you wanna try this, please do it at your own risk, I bear no responsibility for whatever to your phone.
not sure if anyone has tried any of that. I wouldnt know how to do that lol. also no kernel as far as I know for our model that will work
sorry to bump this, but Im sure more people would love to see some type of custom kernel and rom for our model phones. Anyone here able to make this happen? Also didnt find /system/lib64/libsec-ril-dsds.so but did find /system/lib64/libsec-ril.so. @fenrir_ac

My phone is dual sim G9287C. I believe that file has something to do with secondary sim feature.

Hello I have a problem with my phone Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505.
Since I rooted my phone with the CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltevj-gti9505, my phone doesn't read the SIM card.
I have android 5.0.1 inside and I still have an IMEI code.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks.
Flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com and see if that fixes the problem.
The sim card works in other phones? Tried different sim cards in the s4?

Hello,
I tried different sim cards in the s4 and it didn't work.
I also flashed a stock ROM from sammobile.com but the result is the same, unable to detect the sim cards.
It probably needs a new sim reader: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/SD-Sim-Card...037843?hash=item27e1253a13:g:z2IAAOSwr~lYpZvv
So the issue is not a software problem?
Doesn't seem like a software issue.
