[Q] model id internatioal s4 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

need some help, im editing my build prop, i have an internation i9505 which is cool i am using the i9505g rom, which works very well but the model id is incorrectly i think it should be showing jfletuexx or something similar, im in the uk using a EE model 4g s4.
can anyone tell me the correct info
ro.product.model GT-19505 ( changed this myself removing the G)
ro.product.name jgedlteue --- This is the part which i think i need to update.
the goal is to have all the correct market apps showing and functiionaly so the phone is a 19505 again, but only to other apps.
thanks

ive actually managed to answer this myself by going ot the CM site and looking for the usual download.
its JFLTEXX

[Q] [PROB] my i9500 shows up as i337 in download mode

this is driving me bunkers. so i buy an unlocked i9500 in eBay from hongkong and everywhere on the box and on the phone itself it says i9500
but in download mode it shows up as SGH-i337 and also upon using the phone (stock) it randomly asks me to sync my AT&T contacts.
the SIM card that i used is not even AT&T. and also my attempt to install CWM via odin failed.

I guess your phone is not genuine.
it might have been packed in different package.
maybe.

you mean its not samsung made? as in its a chinese fake? lol i dont think so. it just looks too normal for that
You have an i337. It's simple as that. You have probably a rom installed that's based on a i9500 rom. So nothing to worry, you just need to look in the i337 section.

product name: jflteuc
boot loader version: i337ucuemk2
pda version: i9500xxuemj9

once you are sure (check also what FW version you have) you can flash I9500 cwm with odin.
Odin has nothing to do with what is already installed. (expected your drivers are well installed). CWM can be pushed in.
If download mode says that you have an i337 then you have an i337.

It seems you have a true I337 because of the bootloader infos but all the rest is messed up with tricks done by former owners.
So you must reflash a stock I337 fw to refresh everything. get it from sammobile site.
edit :
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=jflteuc
ro.product.device=jflteatt
These are correct infos telling that your phone is a good I337 model.

I too face the same issue...did you find any solution. Can you please share it ?
hi same problem
hi i have same poblem here and i can't use download mode to instal lolipop official or any ohter rom any solution u get there
As mentioned upthread, if the model number posted in Download Mode is SGH-I337, you have an AT&T Galaxy S4. Because of this, you will want to look in the AT&T Galaxy S4 forums for ROMs regarding your device. Unless you have no other alternative, I do not recommend installing AT&T firmware on the phone. If you do install AT&T firmware, it will work, but it will also update the bootloader to a version that disallows rooting and custom ROMs.
Ideally, you want to get your money back from whomever sold you the phone. Frankenphones are nothing but trouble.

that actually wont work. you cant flash a stock rom on these . i tried the appropriate hong kong firmware and an i337 firmware. they just fail.
^ exactly
my friend had a phone like this. bootloader was t mobile, but wouldnt install rom using odin
I flashed cm11 for GPE and and baseband modem from m919 using cwm and it finally worked
I think these phones are made using working parts from different phones

Phone model number changed from N910G to N910F

Hi all,
Been trying out a couple of different custom roms and somewhere along the lines the Model Number of my phone changed from N910G to N910F.
I'm now on the X-Note rom and I am wondering if there is anyway to switch the model number back to N910G? I tried asking on the X-note thread but it was ignored.
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Free mobile app
No one?

Flash a custom ROM that's based on n910g firmware or change model number in build prop it really doesn't matter model number as long as phone works with rom that's y you where ignored because you answered your own question u flashed n910f ROM that's y model number changed
I'm kind of wondering the same thing except I may be more noobish. Lol. I have a sm910t note 4 and I flash the maximum overdrive rom, my model number changed. I just wanna know, if I wanted to change the rom to something else, do I download a rom for what I know my real number is or was? Or do I look for one compatible to this new model number? Sry if it's a stupid question. This rom I'm currently using makes my phone think it's a note 5. I know that's the reason the model number changed, but please, all u android experts, help out bcuz I don't want to destroy my phone. Also since I flashed this rom, there a red text line saying something about kernel. What does that mean?

It will be because the rom you have currently flashed will be based on a firmware from the model it changed to. I currently have a note 7 custom rom on my note 4 n910f. My model has changed to n920f on about phone. If you change your rom again flash one for your original model.
As for the red txt does it say "kernel is not SEandroid enforcing"
Yes it does.

No it is not i9505 model you have sprint galaxy s4
you can find here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/help
All things about your sph l720
then why in the settings it shows model number i9505 and which firmware should i flash should i flash i9505 firmware or l720 firmware no idea at all
You have a Frankenphone, which in this case is a Sprint phone modified to look like an I9505. The proof is in Download Mode. While these repair artists can modify the software simply by editing the build.prop file, they can't change the model number in Download Mode. Therefore, whatever model number is displayed in Download Mode is the model number of your phone. In this case, Sprint.
While some of the custom ROMs here may function on your device, stock ROMs, bootloaders, and modems need to be downloaded from the Sprint S4 forums.

Very happy for sharing with us & interesed persons your enhanced knowledge on i 9505 & sprint sg4 sph l720
Great man !
so u mean icannot flash it with stock lollipop for i9505 on my phone and is there any stock lollipop for my phone which can i flash and use it cuz im using it in my country gsm and wifi is not working so i thaught by model i download stock lollipop rom for i9505 i was going to flash thanks u helped
That's right. You cannot flash a stock I9505 ROM on your device because it's not an I9505. You've already been given directions in this thread on where to go for firmware for your device. Honestly, if it's not too late I'd go and get my money back for this device and buy one that hasn't been modified.
can u guide me for wifi and bluetooth fix also
Go to the Sprint S4 forums here on XDA and look for the fixes you need.

Help identifying my device. I purchased a used Galaxy note 3, n9005,n900t,n900a

I purchased a used galaxy note 3 from ebay. It came running n900tuvufob6 lollipop, when i do and imei check the imei# comes back as a n9005. The device it self has an at&t battery cover and the sticker under the battery states its a n900a??? i need help identifying the device. i just recently flashed darklord n5 rom with twrp and would like to try some other roms out there. So what device do i actually have, a n9005, n900t, or n900a. Any help would be appreciated.
Your answer lies in the baseband. It's most likely a N900T.

As always Phone iNFO APP FROM PLAY STORE AND POST RESULTS .

Before I Flash, I Just Have to Know

Will the i9505 stuff work on the SPH-L720T? It's the branded Sprint version of the i9505 and I don't want to brick the damn thing. If there is anything I need to know, now would be a good time to tell me. I will point out that I have the 4G version (I think that's the only version made for this model anyway) and it is unlocked to work on all networks. Will I loose that if I flash a custom ROM?
Secondly, I am looking for a ROM that is as close to the stock experience as possible but doesn't have all the issues of stock! But with fixed stagefright issues, the widget draw on Touchwiz UI, and better power saving features.
Thirdly, recovery: what is the best one to use? I was thinking TWRP since I already have experience with that. Do I also need to match up an Odin version for my device?
I think that's about it for now. Thank's for the help!
If the code was jfltexx, it's safe to flash. Just check the ROM's thread for any special guides if available.
For stock-based, no idea. I don't have an I9505.
Sent from my GT-I9500
Thanks. Where do I find the code to tell?
On any I9505 development thread with jfltexx on their supported device list.

It's a rebranded I9505. They have identical hardware.
Your phone has a tri-band something. I don't know what it does, but it seems to be carrier related. That's the only difference between the normal SPH-L720, I9505 and your model.
