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

Questions:

1) Which ROM is best for this phone ?

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.

Hi.
I'm having problemas with my phone. Camera sensor seems damaged and I'm having dead pixels on every photo.
I installed several ROMs, now i have Official 4.4.2 - S4 Google Edition - v11, but I think I need official ROM to take to service repair.
This is what I get at download mode

}
I think I still don't have "knox bit" so if I flash official ROM can I get Official Status?
Also, what do else I need? Now I have Philz recovery, I think I'll need official one.
I tried downloading official ROM from SamMobile Forum (4.2, so knox bit won't enable)
Code:
Model: GT-I9505
Country: Spain (Yoigo)
Version: Android 4.2.2
Changelist: 917495
Build date: Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:16:50 +0000
Product Code: YOG
PDA: I9505XXUBMF8
CSC: I9505YOGBMF2
MODEM: I9505XXUBMF8
But when I try to download from Terafile
http://terafile.co/04f65dcc4c18/I9505XXUBMF8_I9505YOGBMF2_YOG.zip
Download stops after a few megabytes and I can't complete it.
Can you recommend me any other rom to have binary as "Official" or do you know how to download it from an alternative link? How do I restore default recovery?
Thanks a lot.
Any Idea?

If you're returning it for a warranty claim, I wouldn't put anything on it other than a rom for your country/carrier. Try AndroidFirmwares.net or Samsung-Updates.com, and if they don't have what you need, use a different internet connection (internet cafe, school, work, whatever).
Hey people I bought a phone from china i would like to change the version cause I have some application that in Chinese.
its Samsung galaxy s4.
Model number : GT-I9500
Android version 4.2.2
Baseband version : I9500XXUAMDK
Kernel version: 3.4.5-526212 [email protected]#1 Tue Apr23
Build number JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDK
Please any help how to do it or any idea...
Thank you in advance :highfive:
You can root your phone, download an app called Titanium Backup from the playstore and remove the chinese apps. No need to flash another version of the firmware.

Check first if your "made in China" isn't a fake because I9500 MDK firmware is one year old (and buggy at this time)
-Install CPU-Z application to get the true
I may be wrong and hope it is the case
Problem S.O.S
I was trying to do the root I have all the application that I need for this procedure but I have a huge problem. When I am pressing the 3 bottoms I getting everything in Chinese. I would like to speak and to read in Chinese to understand what I have to press .
Guys please any help
Sounds like you're trying to get your phone into the downloading mode for ODIN.

That's the text that comes up, it's the same on your phone but only in chinese language. Do what it says on the english one and you'll have the phone in downloading mode. Then you can do the next steps with ODIN.
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)

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.

So I managed to brick my phone, with luck I was able to bring it back to life.
Big problem is the WiFi won't turn on. I've done plenty searches, but can't find a definitive solution. (I've tried removing battery, factory reset, etc.)
I'm rooted, on stock rom, and have philz recovery. Freedompop is my carrier.
Here are the phone details:
Software Version: L720TVPUBNC6
Hardware version: L720T.03
Model Number: SPH-L720T
Android version 4.4.2
Baseband version L720TVPUBNC6
Kernel version: 4.5.0-2345871
[email protected] #1
Build number: KOT49H.L720TVPUBNG5
I'm not averse to flashing a new ROM as long as 3G and LTE are working as well. But would primarily would like a fix for the WiFi Problem.
If I need to update software version, I don't know which one to update to and using what method (Odin? Philz Recovery?)
Thanks in advance for the help!

Odin the latest (OD2 or OH1 is the latest) stock ROM from www.sammobile.com... that should solve all your problems.

Worked Perfectly
Soooo many thanks! That worked perfectly!
It seems like a completely different phone with this update. I had it rooted for so long and didn't update it that I'm having to learn the phone all over again.
