Noob here. I just bought a Samsung Galaxy note 3 on Craiglist and looks like I have been ripped off. This is a China model SM-N9006. Wifi is not working. So, I looked here and found out I can root the phone and install CWM maybe ?
I downloaded the files and when I try to put the phone download mode by pressing vol down + home + power .. it went into a menu in Chinese. I didn;t where to go from here.
What are my options for rooting ?
Should I buy mobile ODIN pro ? would that be easier ?
Please advise.

This is a fake device. The bezel around the screen is too wide. Sorry for the bad news i hope you did not pay a lot.

Can I still use it though ? If I can fix it ? Does it work like note 3 or not ?

DO NOT attempt to flash anything meant for the official note 3 devices on that thing or it will be a complete brick. Odin will likely not work, nor will mobile odin, most likely. This is a ripoff device and doesn't have the same hardware or even software.

Expensive paperweight mate Try to get your money back from the vendor or go to the police if he advertised the phone as a genuine Note 3.

Hi
My cousine bought a new Samsung Galaxy s Anycall for 2 weeks ago. He is only 12 and obviously very keen on trying things, so he decided to upgrade his firmware. What i think he did wrong is to use the wrong firmware. If i understand the Sticky threads and Faqs on this forum correctly, then Anycall has a different firmware then the regular Samsung Galaxy S (correct me if i am wrong). Anyhow, the result is that the phone boots, loads the Samsung logo and then loads the Android Green logo, and just stays there. After attempting to flash the phone with Odin and a firmware suggested by one of the guides n this forum, it now boots into a window where it says something like UPGRADE and something else in chinese or korean. I would appritiate if someone could give me a link to a propar guide on how to get my cousines cell phone up and running again.

For example : I f**ed my phone by upgrading to ics and flashing a Gingerbread kernel ( no touch screen response) , also when I had my sgs vibrant you have to look at The first 3 letters in the baseband I think mine was uvk, match that up with roms and kernels. through trial and error I final got it right

First and foremost you are posting in the wrong forum , you need to post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772718 and for anything concerning this particular phone, your helpline is PIT STOP , see link below

Samsung galaxy S3 GT-I9300 model ONLY.
Samsung galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 model ONLY.
Samsung galaxy S4 GT-I9500 model ONLY.
Samsung galaxy S4 GT-I9505 model ONLY.
DO NOT USE IT FOR ANY OTHER DEVICE!
Before starting:
Backup your important data first just in case of this process corrupt your data.
Download and install Samsung mobile driver (Skip this if you already have Samsung Kies) (Link below)
Download MODEM.tar.md5 file then unzip it only one time (Link below)

ports on your computer.
Flashing instructions :
1- Run "Odin3" as administrator, Click on PDA button and navigate to Modem.tar.md5 file that you extracted.
2 - Shut down your device and make sure your device is completely off
3 - Put your device into download mode by pressing and holding (Volume Down + Home + Power) buttons

5 - Connect the device to your computer by USB cable and wait until you get a sign in Odin (ID:COM section) and "Added" in message box.
6 - Make sure re-partition is NOT SELECTED!
7- Click Start and wait a few seconds until you see "Added!".
P.S:
In some cases this won't fix the wrong IMEI or "not registered on network" message
If your device stuck in boot loop after downgrading, factory reset your device from recovery mode (Vol up+Home+Power)

GT N7105 (not registered on network)
Hello XDA
I'm facing the same problem with my Note 2 GT N7105 (not registered on network) but the IMEI seems fine.Is it worth a try and where can i get the Modem.tar.md5 file i can use for the N7105. Only calling/texting is giving me issues but data is working just fine.
And is there an alternative solution ?
not registered on network
I was trying a different rom , and after i flashed it i noticed i was not getting a data signal, also i have signal for calls but when i try to call it says not registered on network. The imei is coming up normal , i tried flashing stock through odin and that didnt do the trick. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated, i have not had a phone for 2 days . thanks

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Aliexpress.
I received it, the seller said its I9500.
But, download Mode Says its SGH-i337
The "About phone" says its I9500, What to do ? What version is my phone ? Can i install root on it and install custom roms ?
Im confused..
There`s any way to make 100% sure what model its my phone ?
Thanks
srry, Wrong forum, please remove.
** If its okay to stay here, so dont remove
simple answer for you before removed. underneath the battery it will say model: that is what your phone actually is.

Yea, but its refurbished.. so im 99.9% sure that the seller has changed the sticker
if the sticker looks like it has been tampered with then it is likely that is the case, or the seller switched out the part that has the sticker on it. id say trust the download mode. it is nearly impossible to change that unless the chip itself was changed

although I have never come across this before so I may be wrong. if anything try the root methods of both variants and see which one works, then recoveries and roms haha.

A few possibilties...
A. It's running a custom ROM that has it flagged as a GT-I9500 in the build.prop but is a I337.
B. It's a GT-I5000 that someone foolishly flashed a I337 firmware to.
C. It's a I337 and always has been.
The point is if download mode says its a SGH-I337 it's a I337 end of story, that data is pulled from the board itself.
I bought this unlocked international note 4 with a plan to root it....
However it has already been rooted....
I have ATT for service. The person I got it from had T-Mobile.
When I put my sim in and start it up I can make calls and send text as well as even get online
The problems are as follows:
1. It does not stay connected to the ATT network, I have to repeatedly hit send over and over till it finally makes the call... The same goes for text and the internet...
2. When I made the attempt to re-root the whole thing (mind you I am new to all this rooting...this would only be my second time doing so) I found after downloading all the software needed to do so.... I began to follow the steps provided here on XDA, when I tried to boot with the volume, center, and power key the menu is in Chinese sooooooo
........ So now I'm at a complete loss... I do not know what to do
Please tell me that one of you geniuses out there can help me solve this dilemma.....
I was hoping that just re-rooting this phone would solve my problems........
Thank you guys

My girlfriend got an auto update from T-Mobile on her note 7 and it limited her phone to only charge up to 60%. So I found the stock firmware for the previous version and used Odin to flash it over. I also used package disabler pro to prevent future updates. I will link a download to all files from my Google drive as they took wayyy too long to download off of the original site. It will include, the stock firmware (there's 5 parts) Odin (latest version) and package disabler pro. Hopefully anybody reading this is familiar with Odin but if not please ask any questions I'm sure either I or someone else on here can answer them.

Above is also a guide on how to use Odin for those of you who arent familiar with it!
UPDATE!!!!
Package disabler pro stopped working for me but after about 2 hours of searching i found a replacement app. The link is below!
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0c6ZaGr79eTUGRFWWdOMVRSODQ/view?usp=drivesdk
It allowed me to disable all of the update packages
can anyone confirm this while i wait for files to download
i was wondering the same thing and what order to do them in I don't see why it shouldn't work honestly i just haven't used oden in forever and don't want to screw it up lol
It worked fine on her phone you just have to use the app I provided to disable a few packages to stop auto updates and forced updates. I'll upload a screenshot of which ones to disable

You'd flash all 5 of the files at once. The slots on the right in Odin are labeled (for example) ap; you'd select the file I uploaded that starts with ap same with bl, csc etc.
For some reason it won't let me post a screenshot but the packages you'll want to disable are the 2 that say Software Update and one that says UrgentFWUpdateTSP
files are done downloading, ill update this post after im done trying this method
Edit: I can confirm this method works, thanks for figuring this out, also got the green battery icon back "note" the odin file OP included does not include a ini file so it does not open, i just downloaded a different one odin v3.11.1

Thanks, I don't think it will work, for now I'll just be happy with PI4 and able to fully charge it. They must have done something to the bootloader so as not to flash, which makes sense because they don't want you to charge above 60% and they want the phone back...I never had this problem flashing my S5....or S4....[emoji36]
