S - Pen : available but when you tap it its not opening up
No option for Hands free

N9006 is a slightly different version of Note3 only available in China - there are a number of threads very specific about that model.
IMHO - you should NOT try to write stock N9005 to it since there is a good chance that you will brick it.
My advice would be to keep your current MI5 bootloader (and MI3 baseband), use Universal Root De La Vega to root and keep Knox 0x0, then update using Universal Root De La Vega or Mobile Odin Pro to latest Samsung firmware for your region (MK2 I believe).
Good luck with the reading - you have a lot of it to do around here

Thank you so much! I'll be busy for a while, wish me luck!
I think the N9006 model is not a real Note 3. It's the HDC Galaxy Note 3 (in other words: a clone).
It definitely looks like the fake N3 by reading the issues you have mentioned in your post.
Is the S-Pen just a one piece moulded plastic? You mind sharing some pics?

Samsung DOES sell a real N9006:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N9006&pcode=0#firmware
And yes, there are some crazy clones out there:
http://youtu.be/BOsq1jamTFg
But the codes for kernel and baseband are a little different on the clones. Also the benchmarks and the screen (not AMOLED).
I think it is a clone version, but I'm not sure, I have attached here the screenshots.
please verify if its clone or not and what would be the best solution so that I can use the full features of this phone.
and yes pen looks like a molded plastic.

That clearly states it's a clone, and as per as I know a clone version may (can not) get the full features of the original one.

Hello guys, this is my first post. HTM won a GT-A9500 and he had to turn the boot S4 i9500, Hard Reset when did he disappeared with this boot and the HTM logo began to appear, is to install the i9500 boot again or install a ROM S4 i9500 original?
Or at least install the Jelly Beam 4.3 or 4.2.2, because he is with android 4.2.
Regards,
What?

How for the goodness sake, you want to flash near 2gig ROM into a crap having 256MB available for it??????
you can tell His Terrific Majesty (THM) to sell his prize for the real market value of 20dollars and buy a hamburger instead.

More is possible to install a more current version of android as it is with the 4.2.
Another thing, when I called him, appeared the i9500 boot after I did the hard reset boot HTM appears, is to at least get back in the boot of the i9500?

I see that you do not understand the basic clue.... ok, let me help:
this thread of the XDA is for: Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506 . PERIOD.
No Chinese fakes are supported here. PERIOD.
Your phone (HTM GT-A9500) is nothing even close from the hardware point of view, to the original. PERIOD.
In the other words, it seems that you are trying to install 7liters engine from Lamborhini Diablo into the Daewoo/Chevrolet Matiz.
To do it successfully you will need to follow simple procedure:
1. disassemble the case of your phone;
2. Buy somewhere the motherboard, digitizer, screen & auxiliaries from Samsung GT-I9500;
3. Assemble it.
4. flash the I9500 ROM of your choice.
Simple??
the title says it all, i got scammed. so i met up with this guy today, popped my t-mobile sim in there and it has LTE data, at least that's what it says on the top, and data was working. even when i restarted the phone, it has the t-mobile animations and all, so i thought all was ok. but then i reset the phone, then it says invalid imei, no imei # under settings either, and data isn't working, but i could still make calls and receive texts. now i'm stuck with a phone that works only as a phone, and no data whatsoever.
so i've tried calling and texting the guy many times, but with no avail, and i have no other phone to use. so how do i go about from here on fixing the invalid imei thing and getting data to work again? any inputs much appreciated.
edit:
here's the phone info under about devices:
baseband -G900SKSU1ANCD
build number: KOT49H.G900SKSU1AND3
SELinux status: Enforcing
kernel version: 3.4.5 [email protected] #1
android version: 4.4.2
edit #2:
after a little bit of digging, i see that SuperSU is installed, so i think that means my phone is rooted. the sticker clearly says mine is the 900H, but user gee2012 says i have the 900S, so i'm really confused on what model i have and what rom to flash to make this work for t-mobile USA.

so the sticker below the battery says it's a 900H, but the firmware info says i have the 900S, so i'm pretty confused on how to proceed right now. btw, i think my phone is rooted, i see superSU on the apps drawer.
also, as i've mentioned on the original post, the 4G lte data was working fine before i did the reset, but i thought the reset wouldn't restore my phone to default firmware and the data should still work, no? so i'm confused on why the data is not working and the imei # is not there.

i don't have the xda app installed right now, but here's the info below:

so it looks as though this IS the 900S, so does that mean the LTE should work on my phone? if so, how do i go about to get it working again? once again, i greatly appreciate your help.

Look on the internet what LTE bands the Korean G900S supports and what band your provider uses. 2G/3G should be usable anyway i guess. As Samsung implemented the regional lock you may want to contact Samsung for advice/support for your device. Are you able to call and be called?

Check the apn data in settings/more networks/ access points. Maybe you have to add your provider and the correct settings for data.

The APN settings thing didn't work for me. It's showing that I don't have an imei #, so maybe I need to take care of that first?
If you don't have imei number how do you use your phone for calling?

It think it is a real Samsung S5 but meant for Korea, don`t know for sure if you can flash a rom with western languages on it. Use Google to find more info.
Look for the imei behind the battery, not the one the phone tell you.
You probably have a hdc clone of the Samsung S5.
Try running this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
If it's running a custom rom the info shown might not be as standard with different bootloader and rom installed.
This will show rom description and build data etc so you can see what's really running. Then Google or xda search for that rom.
Here's mine.....
Also gives imei if it's there.

Anyone else feel the op is over reacting?
Hi. I received a Samsung Galaxy S5 as a gift about a month ago, but it's missing so many features I have no idea why.
My friend has exactly the same model, yet he has so many more options. For example,
I cannot edit the options for Power Saving mode
There is NO S voice on my apps page
The Sound Recorder looks just like the one from S4 and not S5, it also has NO options either, to configure it
Cannot change several options on the Camera, such as setting the brightness. The option is there, but it's greyed out, I cannot select it
I cannot update the android version. My current version is 4.4.2 and I cannot update it. As I access the 'System Updates', it does say 'Checking for update', but after a while it just says 'Network connection failed' no matter what. The signal for internet is the strongest, as well.
If I press and hold on the Home Screen, the whole options are not coming up either, such as seeing the current running applications. It just says 'Set wallpaper for', 'Apps and widgets' and 'Folder'.
What's wrong with it? Any way I can at least get the S voice?
Your phone might have a custom ROM. Go to settings -> About and list the following information so we know what we're dealing with here:

SM-G900F is the European version of S5 and from what I see there are some discrepancies with the kernel number ...
So here is my hypothesis:
A. It has the incorrect ROM, which means flashing a 900F ROM should bring back those grayed out menus
B. It is a clone and not the real thing! Try reading some more by googling this "3.4.5 [email protected] #1 sm-g900f"
Thank you for the reply. I will ask where has the gift been specifically bought from to ponder on the "clone" thesis. I really, really hope such is not the case. Also, will it only bring back the greyed menus and ignore the 'S Voice' problem?
Regarding the 900F flash, do you think it's okay follow this guide in the attachment? (Have to do it this way cause I can't post links)
I would not try to flash anything before you're sure what you have in your hands cause if it's fake and you try to flash official Samsung rom you would be in trouble. Download Phone info Samsung from play store and check there if it's a original s5
this seems to be common specs of clone s5 phones that i am guessing need the appropriate custom rom - would anyone know if the given specs/details above would be enough to identify a specific custom rom - i have the same specs and when i did a hard reset it let loose a mass of spyware, adware, downloaded numerous playstore games and porn site links all as soon as i put the phone online - i am therefore desperate to find a clean custom rom that matches the above specs - i am hoping as doves above for an appropriate custom rom source
Hi
Background: I am usually very thorough when buying a new phone. This time I Wasn't well for many days and in the hospital. Urgently needed a new phone and ordered 1 online from a used shop. I specially wanted i9500.. no other variant..
I got one, it said i9500 on the back cover (echted in the plastics and well as the paper... which said made in india.. also the paper/sticker wasn't samsung quality but maybe since it was used, and indian made, i thought ok..
Now I inserted my sim and turned it on... Some chinese s***t! then samsung logo then the TouchWiz.. But there were many chinese apps as well. AND IT DID NOT DETECT MY SIM. Settings say its an i9500.. it felt like a samsung but something was off... In camera, as soon as I took a pic, phone got shut off! Had to take out battery... (btw, it says android 4.42 and when I go to Update.. .Samsung says it cant as device has been modified)
reformatted phone... more chinese sh*t, then Android loads up and there is no play store!
So I downoad a Darky ROM for i9500 and try flashing.. viola!! success.. Android 5.0.1
It said Sim not registered... then that message dissappears and now it shows me FULL SIGNALS but when I try to dial anything, it says Not registered on network! - WHen I went to settings... in device it is now saying:SM-903F (is that a ROM thing or is that the real phone model I have..?)
Can someone please help me.. the phone is very important here in my hosp.. cant type/read a lot of my laptop, it is very energy comsuming
Regards
P.S My location is Pakistan
See if you can enter download mode (Volume down and Power). If you can get into download mode, read off the model number displayed on screen. If you can't, the S4 is counterfeit.
The phone could also be a combination of various parts from different hardware versions of the s4.
Also, check to see if the imei is okay.

Yes bro, I can see the IMEI..
I tried flashing another ROM (TouchWiz) - Still sim is not recognized (but signal bars goes to full.. even if I take out the SIM.. guess thats a ROM issue)
Anyways, still stuck.. Which modem should I try flashing... :|
I was going to suggest a stock 9500 rom from sammobile.com but there are only ROMs for the 9500, not 9500chn.
Googling the model 9500chn links to other people that have the same problem when trying to flash another rom.

The phone model become GT-I9500CHN because of Chinese bootloader that unfortunately very hard to get rid of this stuff.

Your phone might be trying to connect to China Mobile or China Unicom that uses TD-SCDMA instead of WCDMA for most regions.
Also, after you install DarkLord S6 port on your device, you'll get phone model on About device as SM-G903F (Galaxy S5 Neo) instead of the normal one for more compatibility (according to the developer).
I would try to check the IMEI online to see if this is original or not (ilegally tampered from other device).

Cheap chinese fake replicas. All ib one line.
Do nothing about it. Ordering online was the worst decision.
Now there are threads here on how to manage these clones. Read one of them

I hate chinese like u do... but this is not cheap
and it is actually a REAL Samsung Galaxy
problem is its GT-i9500CHN - aargghhhhhh - pain doubling... due to me being in hospital. cant go outside to kill someone
If you flashed custom ROMs and them boot, it's not a clone. I9500 performs an Exynos CPU, Chinese clones a Mediatek one, so just for this ROMs couldn't even boot.
All you can do is try to flash a stock firmware from SamMobile, an I9500 firmware coming from China, and see what happens.
By the way, I think this guy bought a Chinese (Genuine) I9500, then rooted it for install Google Apps, that would probably be the reason of the GApps disappearing after formatting (as far as I know, Chinese phones have a backup partition where an emergency copy of the stock firmware is located, I don't know if Samsung does this as well).
For the SIM problem, it's probably simlock, and it probably works only with a determined Chinese operator (or, again, it probably doesn't supports Pakistan's signal bands).
All you can do is check your IMEI on some dedicated site and see if it's simlock, then if it's not, check if the bands that your phone supports are compatible with Pakistan ones.
Sorry for my bad english.

Again, China's bands are TD-SCDMA, not WCDMA as we use mostly over the world.
