i9500 is the exynos octa core version without 4G. i9505 is the Snapdragon quad core version with 4G enabled. The i9505G has different software from Google, but has same internals as i9505.
Id say if you do not care about developer support or 4G, go for the i9500. Otherwise, go for the i9505 which is the more popular variant.

Samsung Galaxy S4 USA variants come with LTE 4G network and is available on different carriers across the US.
SGH-M919 – for T-Mobile USA (so you got a Tmobile version)

I will share a big, top level secret, hidden deeply by Samsung: go to settings, more, about device, and take a look on the model number.

Could you ask yourself WHY there are different sections? Yes, young Einstein, because the ROM's are not compatible without messing with repartitioning and bootloader change.

You shall be on the subforum appropriate for your device. I would recommend you to search the XDA forums (there is a special tool for it). If you are unable to do such (may be complicated and frustrating especially if you did not graduated from the Primary School) use this link
Good Lord, how I am missing the times, when kiddos were getting watches or bikes for their first communion...

Hi,
Unfortunately it's not recommended to try repartitioning your bootloader, after all it can brick your device. And because of such there's no working on this area. I wouldn't risk try installing a 9505 ROM on 9505G, but you can ask for better feedback on the Q&A thread .

OK, so you have opposite situation.
In that case you need to do the flashing with the repartitioning. There are several threads related with that, even in this subforum.
If I'd be you, I'd use the PIT file (if your phone is 16GB edition, if not, do not hesitate to find another one by yourself) fro the thread: "Unroot/Unbrick, Flash official stock firmware on Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 & I9505 " which can be easily found, with the ROM of the choice.
Reason of the repartitioning: the google edition has completely different partitions size, including the system partition (google edition is smaller), therefore the flash will be unsuccessful in best case.
Worse case scenario: you will have bricked phone.

Hi
My cousine bought a new Samsung Galaxy s Anycall for 2 weeks ago. He is only 12 and obviously very keen on trying things, so he decided to upgrade his firmware. What i think he did wrong is to use the wrong firmware. If i understand the Sticky threads and Faqs on this forum correctly, then Anycall has a different firmware then the regular Samsung Galaxy S (correct me if i am wrong). Anyhow, the result is that the phone boots, loads the Samsung logo and then loads the Android Green logo, and just stays there. After attempting to flash the phone with Odin and a firmware suggested by one of the guides n this forum, it now boots into a window where it says something like UPGRADE and something else in chinese or korean. I would appritiate if someone could give me a link to a propar guide on how to get my cousines cell phone up and running again.
Common guys, nobody can answer?
Did u try flashing a kernal.

For example : I f**ed my phone by upgrading to ics and flashing a Gingerbread kernel ( no touch screen response) , also when I had my sgs vibrant you have to look at The first 3 letters in the baseband I think mine was uvk, match that up with roms and kernels. through trial and error I final got it right

First and foremost you are posting in the wrong forum , you need to post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772718 and for anything concerning this particular phone, your helpline is PIT STOP , see link below

I'm guessing it won't work since to the right of the page it says select your device and the L720 isn't listed.

I see you posting all over the forums trying to unlock this phone. Can I ask why did you buy a U.S. Sprint phone if you want to use a unlocked phone? And where are you trying to use it?

FIrst of all thank You for taking the time to naswer
Second!
I have my phone rooted + CWM, am I ready to install Custom Roms? I know we need the bootloader unlocked in order to gain the ability to install custom roms, but I don't see any bootloader unlocking for the S4.
Have things changed? Or is the process of installing Clock work Basically two in 1, bootloader unlock + Custom Recovery install
I guess clarification is more of a better title
EDIT 1
While I'm at it I have a different question as well. If I run a custom Launcher (buzz) and freeze most bloatware the S4 stock has, is there any benefit of installing let's say Google Play Edtion Rom from the threads? I'm thinking mostly for ram purposes/battery.
If you are on the i337M you are good to go, bootloader is unlocked
Since you asked that question, would suggest you read up on the noob stickies before flashing and read the rom OP pages and scan the thread of the rom you want to flash.

Hi this is my first post, don't know if I'm in the right section.
Just received a new phone s4 for my daughter and I received L720T, is there a root to get free hotspot?
Been looking but can't find one for L720T version. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Side question. Did your daughter get the L720T version through a sprint store or online?, I ask because I am trying to get my sister the T version and will be going to a sprint store tomorrow.
Back to your question: I believe some members here were able to root with cf-auto root by chainfire. The one meant for the SPH-L720.

CF-autoroot will root the phone, but as of right now, no one has created a hotspot mod for the "T" version. Crawj made all the original hotspot mods for the S-4 but he hasn't made one for awhile. Another user "fgr" made the mod for the MK2 version. These mods are not interchangeable and are version specific so if you install one that is not for your software version you will brick the phone. I would PM fgr and ask him if he can mod the hotspot for the 720T. He will probably need you to send him the 2 files so he can mod them.
An alternative method is to install the xposed framework installer and then download wanum from the playstore. Wanum has a tethering provision option to unlock the hotspot. You can also customize the stock rom with wanum so it is a worthwhile install.
Hey guys, kinda new here so if someone has asked this question before and you guys have answered him/her, just point in the right direction.
So just like the title states i have a Samsung Galaxy S5 G900M , its rooted and its actually running Resurrection Remix 6.0.1, but when i try to look for a new rom on here, i can never find the right one, its always some other variant.
So my questions is, will they all work on G900M or do i have to look for one specifically? I didnt have this confusion when i was working on my i9500. So dont get frustrated with me.
Thanks a bunch.
JGSS
It is probably possible to run other devices Roms on your device does the g900m come bootloader unlocked or did you have to unlock the bootloader
