Hi,
I bought a Samsung mobile but I'm really confused I don't know if it's a i9500 or a i9505. It's named GT-I9500 but its specifications seem to be those of a GT-i9505

The SGH-I337 is just one of the S4 models that differ only in the provider and the ROM they provide. The GT-I9505 is just the International version. But the 2 are same model

I9500 has octa Exynos 5 processor (1,6GHz) and i9505 qualcomm snapdragon (1,9GHz) processor. The opposite you posted. I am also confused...

Sgh-i337 is not i9500, but it is a i9505 lte. The onky difference between i9505 and i337 is one of the work 4G (LTE) frequency band which works in ATTT instead most european carries.
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9505_galaxy_s4-5371.php
If it is 337 and has 4G lte, you should read i9505 and not i9500. I am also confused. What rear side under battery says? Have you alterate build.prop system file? Where did you buy it?

Since the motherboard z of I9505 u should considercit as I9505 & flash custom rom according to that only

A remote possibility is that last owner edited build.prop system file and changed the model name from i9505 to i9500 because any reason we don't know... can you send us a copy of this file? could you check if you can enter in download mode successfully (without flash anything, just enter)

Ok, if I am not wrong, in fact you have SGH-i337 (ATTT version, there is also a i337m for other different markets as Canada), very similar to i9505 LTE (it only diffieres in one of the 4G LTE bands), same processor, and same all.
Possibly if you have not LTE in your country/carrier, roms for i9505 would work (not really sure, but in any case i9500 ROM will NOT work for you), but if you want to install stock roms and updates for you phone, you can download it here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-I337&pcode=ATT#firmware
For all your issues, custom roms, etc, there are different forums for your device in XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att
About the odd issue of i9500 model instead i9505 or i337 in your device info, I am almost 90% sure that maybe old owner changed build.prop system file (as you told us it is rooted) and changed the device model from i337 to i9500. Why? Maybe he was not able to install some apps in google play because his model, and he tried to lie google play with a standar S4 model, but he made a mistake, he should have write i9505 instead of i9500 because it is more similar to his i337 than i9500 is.
Maybe you can post this "theory" at those S4 ATTT forums, and maybe someone can send you a build.prop file to see the exact model that should be written on that file instead "i9500" and change it by yourself using a mobile text editor..

So I am now even more confused... Sory, but I must ask you it: You are sure this is not a Chinese clon, right? You can be sure if you don't get enter to download mode (Pwr+Home+Vol down) or you have not IR port for TV/DVR/AC remote control apps...
Anyway, good decision (changing the phone)...

I purchased a Chinese galaxy young duos in shanghai and there is still a lot of things in mandarin even after changing the settings to english. If i flash the phone with an english rom will that mess up my chinese service? Will I need to change the radio signal that comes with whatever rom i flash? Will it change my phone to be in all english? I am using China Unicom and a GSM SIM.
Follow up question: Is the SIM card what allows me to attach to the signal of a country?
Type *#1234# and post all the details here and then you will have answers
If you have i9300 model there [email protected] be no problem to up date your phablet

No, that won't mess up your chinese service. The network thing is totally related to the SIM card. ROMs don't affect these things. They are only related to device specific things, not SIM specific.

Also dial *#1234# into your keypad and post the outcome

ja3gxx or ha3gxx? Because ja3gxx is S4, not a Note 3.

Yes, your phone is a fake one. Here is some reasons:
- device name should be ha3g, not ja3g
- should have Phone colour and Manufacturing date
- should have full CSC INFO (product code, sales code, coungtry...)
- Serial No should NOT be 0123456789ABCDEF (this serial is usually from Chinese fake phone)
- should have Bootloader version, and all other verison info
So your phone is a fake one from China, most likely.

Believe me, it's a fake. You have to return it back to the shop.
And the Cores in the CPUZ should be 4 (quad-core), not 2 (dual-core)

The fakes out there at the moment, particularly the ones with MediaTek processors, are very good fakes. But as stated above this is 100% a fake device.
To 100% check this, you will notice on the bottom of your phone you only have a MicroUSB port and not a USB 3.0.

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:

kernel version: 3.4.5 [email protected] #1

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.

thanks for the link, but briefly looking at it, it seems like it's for G906S only, not sure what device that is.

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:
SOC:
model - qualcomm MSM 8974 (flattened device tree)
CPU architecture - krait 400
Cores - 4
revision - r2p1
process - 28nm
clock speed - 598 Mhz - 2.46 Ghz
GPU vendor - Qualcomm
GPU renderer - Adreno (TM) 330
SYSTEM:
model - SM-G900S (klteskt)
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?

Yes, that's all it can be done. I can call out and sent text. I just don't know what to do at this point in order to get the data working again. Sigh...

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.

Its my first thread so if there is anything untold, don't hesitate asking
First of all, this post is specially for users out of USA (Specially for users in Pakistan & India) I've been through this process as i have a Samsung Galaxy SCH-I545, but i was confused as under the battery and in info it showed model number as I9505 but in Recovery it showed SCH-I545
Reason of problem:
The main reason of this confusion are Cellphone importers as they convert Glaxy SCH-i545 to international Version GT-I9505 just for few more bucks,
How to determine which model do you have:
If you own a Glaxy S4 i9505
1: Power Off Phone
2: Take Battery Out
3: Look if there is written
Made in Vietnam By Samsung
4: Start Phone in Recovery by Pressing Volume Down + Power Button + Home
5: it must show there model as SCH-I545
6: & if you have a bootloader locked on Verizon
7: Download Phone Info Samsung and verify if your device is named as jfltevzw
EG: Device Type: jfltevzw
Product Name: jfltevzw
If it is so, you surely have a Glaxy SCH-i545
Get a Lollipop ROM for your SCH-I545 and flash it
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Free mobile app
Edit your post and remove all the Lollipop version details, especially the IMEI. They add nothing to the post and the IMEI can be cloned. That said, Frankenphones are old hat here, and it appears all the US carriers are covered.
Thanks Buddy

One thing I noted in looking at ebay listings was that none of these guys ship to the US. That's because they know they've changed the IMEI. The original IMEI is likely blacklisted, which is why these things are sold overseas.

it's an American carrier version of the international model for AT&T ...so no, definitely NOT an I9500

and just now I looked more closely and saw your problem. if you can take it back and get your money back I would.
Does the imei in the phone match the imei on the label under battery ?
I guess it's a refurbished phone that has been repaired with mixed parts. Go into download mode and post the model from there.
is it even possible to flash partitions from different models firmware onto one phone ?
It apparently is, as I've seen many posts regarding phones with identity issues.

or but tell meif its I337 or I9500
the true identity of your phone should be whatever device it says when you enter download mode. or whatever bootloader version you have because it shouldn't let you flash an incorrect bootloader.
