Weird Problem with I9505

Hello all, I need some help in regards to my Samsung GS4 I9505. Sorry for the long post!
I bought this phone off eBay about a month ago and only did a quick test to make sure it was working. It is a used phone but in excellent condition to replace my old 9505.
Now 2 days ago I had some free time and wanted to check the phone more thoroughly before I transfer my data from my iPhone to the new to me 9505.
The phone had the stock ROM from Hong Kong (TGY). I9505ZHUFNL1 I think if I’m not mistaken.
I realized a few weird things in this phone.
1. First it had the AT&T ringtones installed, and 2 AT&T bloatware apps installed. I thought maybe the seller put them their thinking that I had AT&T.
2. Second, in the ABOUT PHONE, Model # shows as I9505 but the build number shows as I337UCUFNB1
Now I wanted to install a new stock ROM and root, process has failed in ODIN. (PS) I have flashed and customized my old 9505 a lot and have some idea on what I'm doing. I am still a newb though!
Currently I can get into Recovery and Download Mode but my S4 does not boot up. It gets stuck on the logo “SAMSUNG GALAXY S4” As you can see from the pictures below it shows PRODUCT NAME as I337 in DOWNLOAD MODE and shows kot49h.i337ucufnb1 in Recovery.
I am trying to flash stock ROM but ODIN has failed. Tried TGY, DBT and even AT&T ROMs and nothing is working. Tried to use KIES and nothing, went into recovery and deleted everything. Still the phone is not working.
I also got this AT&T message about “System software not authorized by AT&T” but that message is gone now after I flashed AT&T I337 Stock Recovery.
I have searched all over the net and these forums to try to get the phone back up, so far nothing is working on my phone.
Attached are pictures showing model #s and an error I got while trying to flash stock ROM.
Any ideas or suggestions on what to do next? Thanks in advance
I think is a refurbished device. But try to download, unrar and flash this firmware via ODIN: HERE. This is the STOCK firmware for your i337 (in theory). Tell me how it went and good luck .
Thank you. Downloading it right now. Which Android version is this?

It's android 4.4.2. We gona confirm that you have a refurbished device or no. Tell me too what errors appears in ODIN in case you have them. Dial *#1234# when the process of installation finish and tell me if all go ok.
Thank you soo much!
Some good news. I flashed the file and now device is up and running with the AT&T ROM. No errors.
AP: I337UCUFNB1
CP: I337UCUFNB1
CSC: I337ATTFNB1
Even phone model shows as I337

Be relaxed then. You own a SGH-i337, no a GT-i9505. The previous owner was flashing wrong firmware for sure. Enjoy your "machine" and Merry Xmas. :highfive:

Thanks mans for your help and Merry Christmas. Well I am not relaxed since I need a I9505 not AT&T. I'll be moving to the Middle East soon and so the AT&T will work there but I cannot use 4G LTE.
So he most likely even replaced the sticker under the battery to show I9505. I checked the IMEI under the cover and using *#06# and it matched. I checked IMEI online and it shows the model as I9505.
What the heck did the seller do to this phone? Salvaged some parts from AT&T model and installed it?
Just to do a small experiment, I'll get my friend's AT&T SIM card which have LTE and tested it on this phone to see if I get LTE or not.

1. I was telling you before is a refurbished device. They mix parts of differents models for create one new monster, like Frankestein .
2. I checked the original SGH-i337 and it has LTE. Take a look for yourself: HERE

I'm such an idiot! I missed the part about you saying it is a refurbished model. Well this is first for me knowing that they can build Frankenstein S4s! This particular phone is quite misleading.
Also yes you are right SGH-I337 has LTE but will not work in Middle East since we use different LTE frequencies there.
I'll get back to you after I do this small test just so I can feel a little better!
Joku1981,
I just used my friend's ATT SIM card and it connected to ATT's LTE network. Pic attached.
Thanks for your help. I'll contact the eBay seller and see what he can do. Worst case scenario I'll try to sell it on eBay.
and Merry Christmas!

This firmware don't exist. It's better know what CSC you own and flash the correct firmware for your device. Installing this APP you can know your CSC. Add some screenshot if you need more help :fingers-crossed:
screenshot
Hi I've attached the screenshot but I have no idea what it means. I have already flashed it to AT&T in USA and it is not enabling me to use the Sim card that was previously working in it. I know how to flash it but I just don't know what firmware I should be using and where to find it. Thanks for any help in advance.
Do you have the original box? If so, you should find the full model number on a label. It will say GT-I9500ZKAXXX, where XXX will be three letters. Those three letters will be the CSC of the phone. If not, it is possible to determine the carrier using the phone's IMEI and this site. Once we know the carrier or the CSC of the phone it's possible to get you the right ROM for the phone, assuming of course that you haven't totally screwed yourself by installing the AT&T firmware on it. AT&T and Verizon both encrypt the bootloader of the device, and removing the bootloader by flashing the correct ROM through Odin may not work because of the encryption.

Well, i think isn't possible see an i9500 with CSC: ATT (maybe is a SGH-i337). But I dunno. I hope he can add more screenshots for confirm it.

No phone calls?

Hey guys, I come here very often and now I'm going to have to open this thread because I've seen absolutely no posts about my problem..
My S6 Edge+ is currently unable to make any calls and I don't know why..:crying: the strange part is that I can still send text messages and use my SIM's mobile data... Another weird thing is that whenever I reboot the phone, my WiFi passwords are forgotten..
Can any one help me? I'm currently running android 6.0.1 and I am considering downgrading it to 5.0.1 to see if it solves the issue...
Still needing help..
No one?? I really need some help since I've tried 4 different roms and modems ano nothing seems to work....
Have you wiped everything and then flashed a stock rom?

Which variant do you have and which MM firmware did you flash? Check your modem, imei, network operator etc and provide that info here.
Also wifi password IMO related with
Code:
ro.securestorage.support=true
this line in build.prop. I would suggest you to add this line under 'ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES' in build.prop but assume you havent rooted your device. If have, add it.

I've downgraded to 5.1.1 and it didn't work, I have the international version of the s6 edge plus and now I'm looking for a new ROM to test to see if I can solve it.. I've checked my imei in two different websites and on imei.info it comes clear, but the other site gives me a blacklisted warning, which makes me think since I bought it online second hand... it probably was reported stolen or lost and now it's blocked... which ise rather inconvenient. .
If I go to SIM Card Status it says "Not Available" everywhere, but on imei information it says my imei and on IMEISV the value is 01. It's network unlocked and right now I'm about to flash a new ROM, probably stock..
Hello, I have the same problem at boot after I receive the call when making a call nothing remains of numbering you have a solution? thank you cordially guillaume
Hi guys, I know this is a really old thread but I'm here just to say that the problem was with the IMEI, it was blacklisted..
I changed it with a friend and then everything worked fine..
Thanks for you help mates!

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.
