I recently bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (second hand) for my daughter. She is using a T-Mobile SIM. When she first turned the phone on, it seemed to work perfectly. It wasn't until she had downloaded a few apps that she realized the Storage only showed 1.32 GB Total space with 1.17 GB available. The box indicates a total 32 GB. Where are they? We did a reset, but that didn't help. Then I tried to do a recovery (Up Volume, Power, Home), but the screen does not look like the video; it only shows three options: Recovery Mode, Fastboot Mode, and Normal Mode. When I selected Recovery Mode, I got the "dead droid" No Command error.
I then found a video that suggested "flashing Odin" using Down Volume, Power, Home. But instead of getting the Warning! screen, the phone flashed "FACTORY MODE" and then I saw a bunch of yellow Korean characters against a blue background. I'm at a loss as to how to work through this problem. Please HELP!
That does not look like a genuine Note 3. I think it's a fake model.
Also, the text is Chinese, not Korean.

I agree, fake Note... You need to check what the processor is, if you can get it to boot, download Phone Info from playstore. It will tell you what type of processor. If the processor isa MTK**** then it's a Chinese knockoff..,
And a bad fake too. Don't you love your daughter ?

, using the*Samsung* app it tells me on my genuine Note 3 that the Hardware/Board is a qcomm/MSM8974 and the Platform/Chip is a MSM8974. This is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor.
Mine is a Quad core processor, your appears to be a Dual core according to this - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...stand-the-information-of-my-android-processor

Just wondering since my Note 10.1 N8000 Ram is 1GB and Dual core.
I didn't find anything about it; and I needs to know is it compatible with custom roms or not?
Anyone knows about it, please help
EDIT
As I mentioned in post #7, it is a quad core processor (I think it is somehow a cpu utilization, because some time it display dual core or 3 cores, but when I open an application or game, or even samsung app and games hub it goes quad core)

Are you sure your device is Note 10.1 N8000 & not a Tab 2 10.1 ?
You need to go to the about settings and see if its an N80xx or a P7500 model...
If its a P7500 model then you have a galaxy tab 10.1 NOT a note 10.1.... Don't flash the roms for a different device or you will end up with a brick...

If you have a n8000 you have a quad core 1.4ghz with 2gb ram just to let you know . To my knowledge all Note 10.1 variants have this config. And no they wont be compatible with roms

Now, it display a Quad core processor but still 1GB ram
About the MODEL, it is N8000, 3G 16G black edition
check attached pics from the back cover, sorry for unclear images
I don't know the internal wiring of the note but it may be possible they put 2 1gb ram dimms inside. If this is indeed the case then its possible that one of these dimms are faulty causing you to register only 1 gb of ram.
I'd take back to the shop, check out the demo mode and if they argue point this out to them. If its less than a week old they should replace it with a new Note straight away. Just remember to take everything in with you.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has 2gb of ram and a quad core processor. Only the early pre-production model had 1gb of ram was a dual core but I've never heard of anyone getting one of those.
Thank you

Yes, I know the old specs. is 1GB ram, Dual core and 3MP camera; and that was changes before hitting the market (for show only im MWC 2012)
And if this is one of these demo tablets, it should be 3MP cam and Dual core; and this is not my case.
Thank you for your time
Weird, the IMEI pic says it has a Bluetooth 3.0, when the n8010 has Bluetooth 4.0
Pretty unique little Note 10.1 you have there.
and no Infra-red
Also, the device has no infra red port
Still discovering its specs and will let you know about
I FEEL I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SPECS
YES! UNIQUE
Edit:
Was rooted successfully, CMW recovery injected and a backup was taken.
Tried to install Android_Revolution_HD-Note_10.1_4.0 but failed (stuck while installing dropbox for more than 20 minutes with 0%)
So, returned to the backup. Downloading a stock 4.1.2 UAE stock rom.
The material of the back doesn't seem to be of a note, very strange device, may be it was a test device or something

I would definitely take it back to the place were you bought it.
No way I would pay the normal price for a Note 10.1 and having it with half the RAM and half the CPU cores.
I think this is a faulty packaging process, maybe someone is packaging test units (old) thinking these are normal/fresh units.
No idea.

Quad core
As I mentioned in post #7, it is a quad core processor (I think it is somehow a cpu utilization, because some time it display dual core or 3 cores, but when I open an application or game, or even samsung app and games hub it goes quad core)
Now, I thing I'm not able to install even the stock rom "N8000XXCLL6_N8000OJVCLL3_XSG.zip"
Stuck on the samsung logo, and the recovery CWM has gone.
I hope it back to restore the backup
to exit the samsung logo screen, I press too long ( > 20 minutes ) on power buttun, but some times it leads me to "POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE". That takes the same time to exit then takes me back to the logo screen.
Anyone knows how to force restart or power off and exit odin or samsung logo correctly?
thanks,

Vol +, home and pwr put it into the "Factory utils" menu. I've included a pic of the "System info" screen under factory utils in the hope someone can tell me what is currently loaded on this phone and how to fix it.

Edit Uploaded picture is a original one
It's a clone, if you go to some sites like lightake or Ahappydeal you will find clone phones, S4 i9500, with these stats:
Highlights:
Type: Touch screen phone
Color: Gray
OS: Android 4.2
CPU: MTK6589 Cortex-A7 Quad Core 1.2GHz
ROM: 8GB
RAM: 1GB
IPS capacitive touch (Multi-point) screen
Network frequency: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz WCDMA 850/2100MHz
Dual SIM, Dual standby
Dual cameras (the back one with flash light and auto focus)
Wireless internet
Gravity sensing system
FM/MP3/MP4/Bluetooth/GPS function supported
Notice the Android version? In the pic you posted, your android version was 4.0.4, ICS. The S4 was released with 4.2.2 firmware.
Yours is an older clone. You were ripped off.
Sorry dude, but you just get ripped off. Even the camera position in back cover isn't look right

At the camera app i can switch to 13MP.
I don´t unterstand why for example the resolution have a difference between AnTuTu(1920x1080) an CPU-Z(960x540)
Or why shows CPU-Z 2 Cores and AnTuTu schows 4+4 Cores?

It is because AnTuTu reads a build prod file from the system (here you can write what you want or need!!!! to say)
CPU-z make a real investigation at devices and chips level and report what is close to true and safe.
So no question this is a clone ( a kind of old Galaxy note one) but a good medium range device able to well service many people.

Can you give more detail about this model:
Where did you buy it, the price, new or used device etc for us to be informed.
Maybe you have a clone with internal Samsung board devoted to another model. cross check with other existing devices using the same hardware.

Everything that other guys said is true. But there's an easy way to check it. Go in the WC, switch off the lights and reboot the phone (in pitch dark room - no light !). If the black part of the screen is perfectly black (no light bleeding) - it's AMOLED (Galaxy S series). If not - it's LCD type (there's light bleed and the black is grayish) and there's no Galaxy S4 with LCD screen.
None fake phone has OLED (AMOLED) display so far, so it's an easy check.
You can also check with Samsung service codes (use Google), but the above method is 100% secure so far (as far as very few phones use AMOLED. The upcoming LG top phones will also have it).
If your NFC menu in settings shows empty, it's a fake. Search on youtube : Galaxy S4 fake vs real
You mean like in one of this screenshots?

There is no clon capable to enter in odin download mode. Switch off your phone and push simultaneity power +home +volume down keys for some seconds. If it doesn't enter in the typical download mode screen, you can be sure it is a fake.

Cpu-z doesn't lie. On the other hand,there are quality clones. For those who don't want to spend 500+ $,a 200$ clone(often with a mtk quad core,1gb ram,even 13mpx camera and powervr 544mp) is more than enough. Not to mention it has 2 big batteries and is dual sim.
Not encouraging the buy of these phones,but not all of us have this amount of money. On this particular case,it's a cheap and low quality clone. I wouldn't pay more than 50$ for it.

Hi
Some time ago, I purchased this smartphone - I think I picked the quadcore variant and was sure of that until now.
The model I have is SM-N910C, so this should be the exynos version, right?
Now that I want to install the TWRP recovery, I saw many different versions for each different model.
Just to be sure, I checked again, if I really have the proper version and it now seems that my Note 4 actually has the octacore.
So, in short, here's my question: How do I make 100% certain, which model I have and which chipset it uses without looking at the processor itself?
Apparently, the model displayed in download mode is accurate.....
According to some members, the info in download mode is 'hardcoded' into the device, and nothing can change it..... apparently.

ok, I finally could clarify which cpu is actually in my note 4: it's the exynos octacore.
Since it's a 64bit cpu, I consider this to be a happy accident

Sorry to burst your bubble but eventhough exynos 5433 chipset with 4xARM cortex A53 and 4xARM cortex A57 supports 64 bit, neither the rom nor the kernel is 64 bit enabled.

Oh, I'm aware of that, but still, having the 64 bit core is already fine even though I cannot really use its advantages.

true
bought off Ebay from a semi-reputable seller(11.5k reviews 98.5% positive)
anyhow, seems to be running an exynos 8890 but the screen resolution, PPI, and internal storage dont match manufacture specs.
Am i missing something here?
i.imgur.com/YQM9Tld.jpg
EDIT:
the CPU hardware is blank and the CPU model has bunch of random stuff
i.imgur.com/xQYaOLb.jpg
also there is no OEM logo (the CE symbols) on the back just the normal small writing.
Looks okay to me.
Some ram is held back for the system and the same for internal memory.
The reason your ppi is lower is to do with the screen resolution settings. Your phone is set at HD, and not WQHD which can be changed in settings.

wow thanks man. i dont know why i didnt think to change the settings. i guess i assumed the app would be able to recognize the downscale resolution and still show the max resolution/PPI.
how come the "total internal storage" is capped at 24.86GB and doesnt show 32GB? i guess it only shows the total internal storage that is available?
also in your opinion is the eynos version that much better than snapdragon in terms of CPU or is the difference marginal? i ask cus i may sell this one and buy another one but the snapdragon g935's are way cheaper

Not sure about that app?
Less internal memory is because the system uses some.
You could try the phone info app for Samsung on play store, that's the one I use.
