S4 clone GT-i9500 help

Hi,
I have a a S4 clone phone and i need to wipe it to factory default, because there is a Japanese program at the bottom of the all-apps, that can not be remove or uninstalled, you can force-stop it. Anyway and i am using this opportunity to update my phone to the latest stable release of android for this S4 clone phone. I was told that this is whats call a mtk6577
I want to know how to root it and load a recovery menu, then load the latest android that can run on this device, like 4.4.x or 4.3.x.
the phone looks like this one: needrom.com/mobile/s4-mtk6577

3) When I press VOL+ and the power button I get a dead android with it's belly open and a red sign in it., does that mean it's not rooted ?
4) I see people post info about there phone, like cpu, and othe stuff, how did they get this info from the phone? the info above is all I could get from the "About Device" screen.

You have a very different smartphone from ours, we cannot answer, we don't know how to answer your questions... Search for a forum for your device and ask there.

I tried it. Works very well and includes all prior updates. CF auto root is OK.

Works great. Flashed using Odin then used CFRoot then flashed TWRP then did a full data wipe. Wanted to start from scratch as I was doing a lot of testing and just figured it was a good opportunity to get on the latest version and start fresh.

[Q] Which software version?

Hi everyone. The more i read i'm even more confused.
I bought used phone from China. It is Samsung S4 Sprint SPH-L720T.
It is unlocked ( i suppose because i dont use sprint sim - i am from Serbia/Europa) and it's rooted.
When i go to Settings/More/AboutAbout Device it says:
Model number: GT-I9500
Baseband Version: I9500XXUFNE4
Build Number: DONGCHAO.527
From Phone Info app:
General info:
Phone model: GT-I9500
Device type: jflterefreshspr
Product name: jfltezc
CSC info:
Everything is CHN except CSC Country: USA and Product code: Not active
Firmware info:
Bootloader and baseband version: L720TVPUBNC6
PDA Version: I9500XXUFNE4
CSC version: L720TSPTBNC6
OS info:
Build number: KOT49H.I9500XXUFNE4(I9500XXUFNE4)
Now which sofware do i have on my phone?
And because this is probably chinese version and not come with google play service preinstall, i want to flash some other rom (international, indian).
I take a little research but i dont know which to choose:
1. http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2014/04/l720tvpubnc6-android-442-kitkat.html (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/28778/L720TVPUBNC6_L720TSPTBNC6_SPR.zip)
2. http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2014/05/i9500xxufne4-android-442-kitkat.html (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/31745/I9500XXUFNE4_I9500ODDFNE1_INU.zip)

By the way this is my first Samsung phone, and i'm not android expert
PS: I dont know how i have PDA Version: I9500XXUFNE4, when it has to be for Exynos phones.

Any suggestion?
For which device i have to download stock rom (I9500 or I9505)?

apologies for invoking such a old thread but its still better than creating a new thread. Did you found any luck in flashing a another firmware ? my friend also recently bought a GT-19500 device with the same firmware (DONGCHAO).
He now wants to re-install a another firmware.

This is not the I9500 forum. This forum is for the Sprint S4, go to the correct forum to find the correct information.

No Galaxy Note 4 Firmware

Hi Experts,
I have recently bought a refubished note 4. Please find the below details of the phone. I am not getting any updates because the CSC and the Firmware Code is totally different. I would like to match back the CSC and firmware code to a rom which is for N910C with code of XME -N910CXXS2CPB3_N910COLB2COJ5_XME (Malaysia). My question will be if I able to flash N910C rom into my phone. Is there anyway of doing so without triggering the knox? Please advice.

Thanks for the advice. Flashing through Odin should not be an issue. my question is will there be any issues if i flash a n910c rom into the phone which i do not know if my phone is originally n910c or n910f. I did notice that not all have the same baseband and hardware specs.

N910c has the exynos processor and n910f has snapdragon,you cannot flash n910c firmware on n910f. Go to about device and see wich one is. Only flash your model.
If the information on first post is the one from your phone you hqve n910a. So neither c or f can be flashed

You can search in at&t note 4 forum may be you will find a solution first back up your current rom and make sure that the bootloader isn't looked

I install 2 different apps and I get 2 different models. Can anyone confirm which model I have n910a or n910f? I have attached 2 screen shots. Pls advice.
