[Q] What version is my phone ?

I'd like to root my phone but i dont know what build it is ? i've checked in " about device" and see that my model number is sgh-1337. So i dont know if this is the I9500 version or the I9505 version. I dont want to pick the wrong version number when i root and mess things up. Thanks

It's the SGH-1337 version. DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING MEANT FOR THE 9500 or 9505!

Actually, you can flash I-9505 ROMs, just not the radios/modems.

Its doesnt matter as long as its an official rom, just know that once go to kikat theres no way to go back to jelly bean, u should look for the steps to flash the rom, it pretty simple.

Don't update. the KitKat version has a lot of problems!
For one, the SD Card read/write problem.
Second, for me, I have a problem with device heating while gaming and doing some intense things on KitKat.

[Q] Custom recovery and ROM on more recent devices?

Hey there,
When I first got this phone, there were problems with the phone being locked in such a way that it couldn't be flashed with a new recovery/ROM.
I have looked through the various subs, but it's not obvious to me, so I wanted to ask. Is it possible to flash S4's now with custom recoveries and ROMs?
Thanks in advance,
Sebastian

Its possible.
Its easy.
There are lots of options to choose from.

any chance you could point me in the right direction? Last time I tried (admittedly, some time ago), there were zero options because everything was locked down by samsung.

1. Install Kies 3 and conect your phone to the pc.
2. Take a look your CSC (pic attached)
3. Go to Sammobile.com and download the correct firmware (with correct CSC) for your device.
4. Flash this firmware through ODIN.
5. Enjoy :highfive:

There are so many different versions that it's a miracle that we can keep them apart at all.

1. Well. I dont have so much info about this model coz only was released for Korea. Im not Korean and I don't know Korean Language. (I was taking the info of HERE). I supose ODIN will work perfect with that correct firmware but I don't own this device and I can't make tests.
2. You can't remove Korean language.

1. You can ofc.

3. Dial *#1234# when you finish of flash the firmware for verify all is correct.
4. Verify, under the battery, if this N900L is the correct MODEL. (Pic attached)

It looks like you have the N900L model but it has been flashed with the N9005 rom.
Your baseband and bootloader should be preserved, I think.
You can check with the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, in the FIRMWARE INFO section.
Also check the Hardware revision in the MISC INFO section to see if it is N900L ?

Are u using stock rom? What device do you own? Give us more details about.

go to sammobile.com and look for your country and carrier. See what baseband it has, then download the modem from xda.

Did you try to downgrade your firmware when this problem appeared?
