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 .

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.

Please post the following information:
1. Model Number
2. Android Version, found by going to Settings > More > About device.
3. Firmware Version (AP, CP, CSC), found by dialing *#1234# in the dialer or by installing Phone Info from the Play Store and running it.
4. Service Provider
5. Country
6. Is the phone rooted? (Yes/No)
7. Is a custom ROM installed? (Yes/No, and the name of the ROM)
There may not be an Android 5.0.1 ROM available for your area as of yet, but if you can post the relevant information above, it will greatly aid in searching.

Finally i flash lollipop rom of N9005 successfully without any problem.
Thanks a lot.

Bricked, recovered, by WiFi won't turn on.

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.
