Apologies if this may sound like a silly question.
I have an international version of the S4, the jfltexx version. I then flashed it with Jamal's 4.3 GE ROM.
Is my device considered i9505G now?
I'm asking as I've experienced a lot of problems flashing CM 10.2 roms using the jfltexx version of TWRP.
I'm thinking of switching to the jgedlte version to see if my problems will be solved
Thanks for your help!
No. You now have an i9505 running a GE rom.
If you have the international version then best to only use international Roms.

ok, got it.
But under phone info, i noticed this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So i got confused... and besides, there are quite a number of rooting apps that I have been using, they report that my device is not supported (although I am quite sure it is since it's listed on the play store that they support i9505... so this leads me to suspect that my phone is now operating as an i9505G?)
The rom changed your build.prop to i9505G. You can change it back with a build.prop editor, I use the one in Rom Toolbox.
Apps look for your model number in your build.prop to check that your device is compatible, as yours has been changed its tricking the apps into thinking you have an i9505G.
Your phone ain't changed, it's still just an i9505

Thanks! But in terms of custom recoveries and ROM flashing, does the build.prop matter? will it result in errors in installation etc.?
I'm asking as i've been having alot of problems flashing CM 10.2 using TWRP meant for i9505.
I've yet to try flashing through the TWRP meant for i9505G yet.

Hi all, hoping you can help me out with this. It's not a critical issue, more a vanity/QOL thing.
I'd like to change the device name/ID that shows up when connecting my Nexus 7 to a wifi network. Currently it shows up as "android-<string of alphanumerics>" but I'd like to be able to give it a more descriptive name to help differentiate when setting up a wifi connection around multiple similar devices.
I've got my N7 rooted but not unlocked, and I'd prefer not to flash a custom ROM if possible. I'm no stranger to flashing ROMs, I'm just not interested in putting a huge amount of work or potentially causing myself problems for something that is so relatively minor.. I can live without a custom device name, but it would be nice to be able to set one up.
Thanks in advance!

Is that screenshot from the custom ROM you have listed in your sig?
I'm using a stock N7 with build JDQ39 and I don't seem to have many of those options listed in the Developer Options menu. Or is there something I need to do to enable those, similar to the method used to 'unhide' the Developer Options in the first place?
My apologies if this is basic information that I could have found elsewhere.

Yes it is Slim Bean Build 7. That is just what I use as it is included in the ROM. You can set it manually or use an app such as these.
Wow.. I feel incredibly dumb right now. I'm so used to doing things the hard way I didn't even consider checking if there were apps in the store that might do what I wanted. Thanks for reminding me to look in the easy places first!
Cheers!
Hi all,
It has been a few years since I rooted my last Android device and I seem to be having some difficulties in rooting my current Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 running Android 4.4.2.
Please see attached screenshot of my phone Baseband version, build number, etc.
Are there any supported root methods for my device?
How important is the build number/baseband version when attempting to root?
I seem to be able to find root info for similar devices although quoting a different build number etc.
I attempted to use the chain fire auto root and selected the root file for the Qualcomm international and it did flashed in Odin and showed PASS but did not grant SU privileges.
Luckily my phone was fully functional after a hard reset, although I am wondering whether these methods of rooting are still working for my version of Note 3.
Is there a possibility that it is not possible to root my SM-N9005 due to the particular build number?
I have attempted to search around for any useful threads, although I am not having any luck.
Can anyone even suggest a method which I could investigate further, or even possibly direct me to an existing thread which may prove useful?
Thanks in advance,
Alex.
For ease of reference my build number is:
KOT49H.N9005XXUENE3

All I am after is SuperUser privileges for various purposes - not looking to flash any custom ROM or anything of the sort at this stage.
ANY HELP AT ALL WOULD BE AWESEOME!
Here are some additional details from the Phone Info app:
This would make me assume that using CF-AutoRoot should work using the file:
SM-N9005 (International Qualcomm): CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip
Is this correct?

That's because it's referred to just by OA3. Why does he need a modem?

Here are the stock ROMs- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59310363
I would try www.sammobile.com for the firmware. I downloaded it from there before I had to return mine.
Hello,
I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 (but you knew that.) that is currently running 4.4.2 Android. I have rooted my phone, but I never installed any roms, I am still using the stock touchwiz. For a while now, my phone has been telling me "system update downloaded" and wants me to install it.
Basically: How do I go about updating my phone without breaking something due to my root status. Should I un-root? Should I just hit update? I'm skeptical because I don't know much about fixing my phone if I accidentally brick it.
Alternatively, would I be better just getting a rom, like Cyanogen? I don't hate touchwiz as much as I probably should, haha.
Side note, I apologize if this has been raised before, I have been searching for answers to this since the first time my phone notified me of the update, between Google searches and searching this forum, I haven't found a topic that addresses my issue.

You coins just try a custom Touchwiz ROM like mine (Wicked X). You can't install the OTA on a rooted system, you need to unroot to take the OTA.

I want to install a ROM of the latest android version. I installed a custom ROM a long time ago, I honestly don't remember what I did. I think I used "wug's tool" or something like that. Here's what my phone says:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Where it says GT-I9505G, I don't think it said that originally, when I got this custom ROM it changed to that. It's an AT&T phone (U.S). I'm not very knowledgeable about this, I usually just follow tutorials.
So what method should I use? Any tutorials, links? ROM recommendations?
Thanks.
It's important to know which bootloader is on the phone before flashing anything.
I suggest installing Samsung phone info app from the play store to find the version. Once you know the version, then you can decide how to proceed.

Thanks. I checked, it's the same as the Baseband version you see on the pic.

Add screenshots of the app to check it better.
Since he already flashed a custom rom, I don't think the bootloader is locked anymore.
In theory, you just need to flash a custom recovery (TWRP recommended) then you should be able to flash pretty much any I9505 roms.
I agree that it is unlikely that the bootloader is locked but I believe it is always good to know which bootloader is on a phone before flashing anything.
if Wi-Fi or network signal isn't good on any new rom you try you'll need to change the bootloader if you want to update the modem/baseband.
I installed the latest version of TWRP since mine was outdated. I did a full wipe as instructed in the ROM's page but TWRP refuses to install the ROM after. I keep getting "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7" "Error installing zip file [location of my file/file name]". I am without OS.
What rom are you trying to flash?

Got it. It was not the right ROM for my device.
