My device model has been changed - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I do apologize first if this is a dumb question.
I just flash my T-mobile S5 with an international ROM. Everything is working great but I have noticed my device model has been changed to SM-G900F instead of G900T. Is it ok? And what could I do to get the correct device model back? Thanks

It's fine. If you wish to change it you'll need to change the ro.product.model line in /system/build.prop.

I'm not sure this can help you cuz I'm also a newbie but this is what I did
I use Odin to root my phone first
Use Odin to flash the recovery
Then use Recovery to flash the custom ROM

Yeah, you shouldn't have gone in odin to change your device name That easily could have been done with a file manager's build prop editor. Now the reason why you can't flash your rom via odin is most likely because you checked a box called reactivation lock in the security section. If you're able to turn on your phone go and uncheck that box and you should be ok to flash via odin. If you can't boot try recovery/restore.

What's preventing you from flashing stock? What message do you get?

Not sure how to fix but flashing a modem with mobile Odin can be scary with this phone cuz of Loki if u can get into recovery wipe everything and reflash ur ROM kernel and maybe the stock modem
Otherwise u need a windows PC and run Odin
For future reference its way less trouble some to just flash a modem in recovery works just the same

You really don't have to flash a kernel thru odin? Are you even booting at all?

Oh, ok, so you can not get into recovery at all? Again, so you can see whats going on, but the touch screen is un-responsive correct?

My phone very often lost mobile network It also catch edge when others phones get 3g.
I tried to flash modem from latest stock rom for my region.
Mobile odin ver. 3.76. It's really strange that it flash something.
Now when I start it got "unsupported device"
I had WanamLite and KT kernel when I flash. Device shows as i9505. May be it is reason why it flash.
get into recovery and flash a kernel made for your device. it will boot.

[Q] ROM and RECOVERY

hello!
I have galaxy s4 i9500.
stock rom 4.4.2
I tried to flash 2 recoveries (philz and twrp) in both odin and flash from the stock recovery, but none of them worked!
I just want to flash one of this two recoveries so I will be able to flash a custom rom.
instead of working, the recovery stays the stock's recovery.
what should I do?
sorry for my bad English.
thanks!!
Uncheck auto-reboot before flashing with Odin. That should probably fix it.

Hi,
it should work.....
what message shows Odin?

[Q]sgh-i337 or i9500?

When i check the version in settings, model number is GT-i9500, but when im in dowloading mode says model sgh-i337
First i tried to install a recovery for i9500 but now my wifi is not working. Also, when the recovery installation fails, appears the message "system software not authorized by at&t
any possible to install recovery?
it is a fake s4?
After all my attempts to install custom roms now i can't do a factory reset.
I would like (if is possible) to install rom to recovery the wifi in my s4
Thanks

No, it isn't a fake. The person you bought it from changed it to make it look like Ala I9500, but it originally a SCH-I337. Just download original I337 firmware and you're good to go. You can't install recovery like TWO OR CWM, you need to install safestrap. Cheers

I would recommend you first try to Odin mdl firmware from sammobile.com. you may have an older device where twrp or cwm will work. Worst case is Odin fails.

i did it and works great. But the wifi is still not working. I was reading and i found that my efs folder is empty. Fortunately, i copy the efs folder in the sd, also make a .zip, but now i cant copy to the empty efs folder, it show a message that i make changes in the phone and it will restart. do you have any idea how to restore the folder?
the message is "unauthorized actions have been detected. restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes"
Try flashing the nb1 kernel in odin

Stuck on boot G928F when flashing TWRP 3.0 - need stock recovery

I have the unlocked G928F model and I flashed the TWRP from note 5, but now the phone is stuck on bootloop. I think that maybe I forgot to tick the USB debugging and thats why this is happening, so I think that if I install the stock recovery, I will be able to boot in my phone again?
So can someone give me or tell me where can i get the stock recovery?

Will try as soon as it's downloaded. As far as I have read, it will not delete my data. Is that true?
Also, am I correct that my phone got stuck into a bootloop because I didnt enable the Usb Debugging before flashing the TWRP recovery?
Thank you for your help!
Usb debugging should be enabled prior to flash! But If I were I'd rather flash a stock Rom and after that root my phone again.
