Can somebody clear up the model SGS4 numbers we see being mentioned in various threads?
I see i9505 and i9500 and I assume that is the U.S. and non-U.S. versions, or Exynos 8-core and Qualcomm 4-core models, respectively.
I am also seeing model numbers such as SGH-M919, which is my U.S. T-Mobile SG4 (16GB, black) model number.
So, I am assuming that last model number I mentioned is a variant of the i9505, but I don't see that model number anywhere in my documentation.
Can some folks post their model numbers along with the phone carrier, size and color? maybe we can get a clearer picture of what these model numbers and model variants are.
Thanks!
Galaxy S4 I9500 (8-core) (Exynos octa version)
Galaxy S4 Duos I9502
Galaxy S4 I9505 (LTE) (Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 version)
Has anyone tried this method on I9505 MDM firmware? This is supposed to be un-rootable
EDIT::: OOOPS wrong thread

Okay, answering some of my own questions here. Here is a wiki showing the different model numbers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4#Model_variants
I9505 is an International model number for LTE versions with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor
The following are U.S. models that are basically the I9505 with differences in software (ROM and enabled radios)
AT&T SGH-I337
T-Mobile SGH-M919
Verizon SCH-I545
Sprint SPH-L720
Some of these may be bootloader locked, so I guess that is important to know if looking to root. Most rooting info I have seen talks only about the I9505 or I9500 international model numbers.
Maybe someone could explain the MDE, MDN, and MDM variants of the I9505 model number?

I put my comment in the wrong thread LOL but what I mean is the MDM kernel ... I have MDM firmware but my kernel date is April 12 which is not MDM. The date of the MDM firmware + Kernel... should say 25/26th April...

Hi,
Mine is: SPH-L720
WHITE, 16gb
SPRINT, Los Angeles
send from my newly purchased & rooted SGS4 using xda developers app
USCC is SCH-R970.
Sent via SCH-I925U Note 10.1 LTE
Korean versions are SHV-E300K, SHV-E300L and SHV-E300S for KT, LG and SK telcos respectively
So is it alright to use mods/roms as long as it is for the same cpu model?

If you have access and can buy 9500 and 9505 at the same price which would you get?
Which one is better between the two to get for the long run?
Good day I just acquired this variant: lte of note 3, at the hands of the operator telcel in mexico.
Before I had the Galaxy S4 i337m equally telcel version which was a variation of the original i9505, and that all of the i9505 roms could be installed on the i337m the only thing you had to keep the modem was not to lose signal ...
I wonder if it's the same with note 3 ... supports roms n9005 ...
If anyone knows anything about the subject I would appreciate your experience.
Bump!!!
Bump!! Please any! !! Is the n900w8!

You must really be kidding when six threads below is a thread about roms to install in your N3 version, come on man read at last or search a bit

Hello Experts,
I am having a Samsung SGH I337 (AT&T) rooted phone that is current on Android Version 4.4.2 (Baseband Version 3.4.0-505595). I would like to know if there is a safe way to upgrade to Android Lollipop or to anything above that version. Please advice. Thanks in advance.

Ask in the XDA AT&T Galaxy S4 Forums. You posted this in the International S4 Forums, and in the wrong section of that forum to boot. Mods will move this soon to the correct place.
