Hey I'm new to this site so sorry if this is the wrong place to post or if it had been answered before!
What does it mean when people refer to the S4 as the Samsung I9500? I have the US Cellular SCH-R970 and I would like to root it and install a more stock android like rom on it and I've been trying to do some research but I keep getting hung up because I don't see my model listed very much. I do how ever see everyone throwing out Samsung I9500 though. Can someone explain this and possibly point me in the right direction?
i9500 is the international exynos version i think.
i9505 is the international snapdragon 600 version.
i9506 is the international snapdragon 800 version.
there are also other models. you can find a lot more info on gsmarena.com

Thanks for getting back to me. That makes sense. So do you know if the US Cellular version of the S4 is limited in roms I can put on it? Like I said, I haven't really seen much on my version.
Well it depends very much on the number of devices sold.
depending on what you want - if you like a specific custom rom - you should search for it on the forums or strait through google. It is very easy to search for something like: SCH-R970 cyanogenmod 11 xda -> resulting in some useful threads.
good luck! and good flashing!

hey,
so i finally decided to get a s4 and happily walked into the GT-i9506 which matched my needs in terms of newest hardware and just being the s4. my question now is:
how can i use custom roms etc., as i couldn't find any useful words about this model.
i know dev support isn't or will not be as good as for the 9505, but is there at least something?
thanks in advance.

Where did you get this from? Which country?
Hi Guys,
I am "desperately" looking for some info/support regarding my galaxy S5.
I own a phone model SM-G900FQ which is a variant of the european SM-G900F but sold on the Turkish market.
I did some research, and I don't see any major difference between the F and FQ versions.
I am not Turkish, I don't speak Turkish and I don't live in Turkey. I would really love to flash my cellphone with a custom ROM but I am really unsure of what roms would be supported for this device.
Could someone help me identify what kind of ROM versions are compatible? I check the unified development area, but I can't tell if this phone is a kletmo or klte or something else.
I would love to install CM12 on this cell phone
i am not %100 sure, but i know that they are both exactly the same phones. g900fq and g900f have got same specification. They both have got 2 gb ram, snapdragon 801AC and adreno 330. their name are different only and it's just for marketting in my opinion

Yes, they seem to be exactly identical so I was hoping that I could use ROMs designed for the g900f on this phone.
It really feels like I am one of the only owners of this model on earth. So difficult to find information or guidance ^^
Just wanted to come and update this topic.
I flashed successfuly my galaxy S5 with the cyanogenmod rom compatible with the SM-G900F.
It is no longer regognized as SM-G900FQ
Just in case someone in my situation is wondering
hey im from turkey my friend has a s4. he used nonlte versions on his phone. i have s3 and i use intl version. s4 got a update (cm13) but its intl. would it cause a problem ? if he installs intl version?

i should open a new thread or smht?
What model is the s4? There are models that use Qualcomm and Samsung processors and the ROMs are specific to each processor.

i9500 exynos
I don't see an official CM13 for the i9500 that supports LTE.
According to the specs, the phone cannot support LTE and flashing a ROM won't enable LTE as far as I know: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9500_galaxy_s4-5125.php

its not lte. i said he was using non-lte.
Sorry for my misunderstanding. When you mentioned that you have the international s3 (there are international versions of the s3 that have LTE: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9305_galaxy_s_iii-5001.php), I thought you were asking about LTE on the s4.
Since the phone is an i9500 and the CM13 is for the i9500, it should be fine to update. If the phone is running CM12.1 or older, a full system wipe before installing CM13 may be necessary.

Please post in question and answer section. Post reported.
Am I right in saying your model is the verizon variant ? This thread might be interesting for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/howto-converting-retail-note-4-to-t3358957
Plus there is a verizon forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon
Is this reply for me? If so THANK YOU atleast someone is nice around here. Im afraid to offend #Crimsonthunder they seem a bit touchy and already got me into trouble so I need to watch what I say LOL.
I already follow the Verzon forum ... I was hoping since I had snaldragon I could flash any and or all snapdragon ROMS ... seems that is not true. I have flashed a few others that were meant for SM-N910F phones and they worked.

I have been scouring the threads .. I haven't found 1 ROM I fell in love with I thought I did and I am unable to use this ROM its for the F model Note 4. that's my dilemma I can use another F model ROM but not any in this forum ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev
Hello,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and although I definitely should've checked the model number I did not. My mistake. But I've come to realize that the phone is a Korean variant and as such I can't modify it and put custom ROMs on it - if you can, I'm not sure how.
I'm a novice on smartphones and putting custom ROMs on them, I've done it before on a Note 3 that I owned (Canadian variant).
Since there aren't any custom ROMs (that I can find) for the Korean variant... Is it possible I can somehow convert the phone to an international variant or perhaps force the process?
Thanks in advance.

Try this ROM...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/development/rom-nemesis-refined-v3-5-n7port-t3587637
I have an n910s too...
Tried almost all ROMS and this is the best one.
Good luck.
If you find a way to convert to international version please let me know how to.
Thanks.
Thank for the input but I'm going to be returning the phone and getting an international or Canadian variant, as I would like to use LineageOS on it or something similar. I don't want any ROMs that look or feel like TouchWiz.
