Hi All ,
Me and my wife just bought 2 brand new and never opened box from a 2 different company , my wife unit is an SM-N910H WHITE and mine is N910U BLACK , that which i bought it 1 week later then her ( I just prefer to buy a 4G LTE version , so i bought it from other company and both company is on Cyprus) , so after when i first open the box and start the inspecting the unit (SM-N910U) my note 4 feels me a fake Note4 like , and i am still suspecting that my Note 4 is not genuie (please see the pictures that i attached ,that why it makes to feel me like that), but however the phone INFO samsung says that it is original, and also my ANTUTU score is about 51300 , and please note that my s-pen is working with buttons and pointer, but i am not sure about that , so , please SM-N910U users help me to identify that my unit is original or Fake (please check my all the pictures that i have attached , see my box type , see the battery and back side of the phone and plese verify that , yours SM-N910U are just same or not , i have also searched and checked the google images and youtube videos for trying to found same box info or back side for only SM-N910U series but found out nothing ) and beside i have a few general questions about SM-N910U series as well at the following
1) when i first run my SM-N910U to set up it , it starts with chinese language and a chinese keyboard by default , so , i had switched the language and keyboard to english as well, but the keyboard is there in chinese by default and i am unable to un-tick or remove it (because i never use chinese and it is affecting my sms , handwriting , and s-voice usage style ) , is there any way to remove the chinise language support or keyboard with or without rooting ?? with stock rom as well ?? or if i just flash an other country coded firmware (not hong Kong)with the other modem firmware for the SM-N910U series from sammobile , can it be an international english version with 4G support or not ?? is it possible ??
2) on a some of other forums that i am just checking instractions for rooting my SM-N910U, i have read that, the chinese SM-N910U models (which is i thought mine it is ) is not capable with 4G/LTE and it is not fully compatible with 4G/LTE but, my band shows that and selected that "LTE/WCDMA/GSM(auto connect)" is it True or not ??
3) I just rooted my SM-N910U and i think i void my warranty (KNOX 0X1) , is there a way to reset this counter to 0x0 ?? or if i just fully uninstall root from Super su on menu -settings , my SM-N910U counter will be again to 0x0 or not ??
PLEASE NOTE THAT: I DONT THINK TO USE THE SWEET ROM FOR NOW , AND WILL CONTINUE AS STOCK A FEW WHILE
THANKS FOR YOUR HELPS

IMO. It is real note 4.
Go back to factory and try to do update. If it's real the phone will update.
its real.
1. no you need to flash a NZ ROM to get rid of chinese input. you cannot flash anything other than a 910u rom.
2. yes 910u supports LTE on some bands.
3. no you cannot reset warranty counter and you have destroyed knox security on the device permanently.

Thanks for your best answer can i also use the NZ modem firmware with the ROM as well ? , or i should not change the modem firm ??

so i heared an program some about called that "triangle" or something like that to reset the counter , so doese'nt it applicable ??
IMO. fake note 4 usually contain 720p HD display. The real contain Quad HD.
The different in this case is easily noticeable, especially somebody with real Quad HD display side by side.
Then if you doesn't state about it screen. I think it is positively sign.
I just checked my U and it looks the same as yours. Mine is real, so I think your safe. Time to relax.
no triangleaway cant reset it. mine is the same as yours and its real.
you cannot reset knox counter without buying a new phone.
Dear all friends , I want to say thank you for all (each by each ) that who just helped me about my questions and validate that my SM-N910U h.k version as a GENUINE and now i also agreed and make sure that this model (SM-N910U h.k ) is also an original Note 4 so, the case is closed for me , Those users that who have just the exactly same series of Note 4 , and who they could not find any info or pictures for verify it ,and also whose them is not sure that SM-N910U h.k is orjinal or not (like me ) can check the comments whose helped me and the pictures that i attached , so if all same with yours now you can make sure that its GENUINE SM-N910U h.k , lol i also verify that , and finally if the moderator wish to lock the thread he/She can lock it and can change Thread name as SOLVED thanks for all again
also one more last question to zurkx about flash a NZ ROM , even i asked it about my #5 post but i think Zurkx did not saw it ( thats my mistake sorry ) , i had asked that if can i also use the NZ modem firmware with the ROM as well ? , or i should not change the modem firm ??
Just connect to pc and open Kies if it reckons it then it's real. Easiest way

yes the modem is the same on all the same models of the phone. so a 910U should have an intel modem (check it before flashing) which should be the same as the NZ intel LTE modem.
Well mine says camera 15.9 MP
So i went to some pages and found the same thing in all original note 4 but in those note 4 fake it says 12 MP.
Device you have made in china but you're using turkish sim card but you said you buy devices from cyprus.
Another thing is I read this same post weeks ago with diferent names

Dear 1980Aksoy , Due to your Nick name, I am guessing that , you are an Turkish Member as well like me but i did not excatly understand that what you mean , but i am assumming that you are from Turkey , and i am from Cyprus , and Cyprus is not belong only to greek cypriots , so i am a turkish cypriot member, so thats why i am using Turkish Sim Card and the operator name is KKTCELL (it is an GSM operator partner of TURKCELL which is at TURKEY) , anyway if you read my #1 post you will understand why i prefered the SM-N910U model , but before i had an SM-N910H that which is the back side product label of the unit was different with the U model (as shown at the pictures) , so i know that the U model was an HK product , but i did not expected a different information label and a simple label (that feels not genuie) like , made by samsung with some chinese letters before i just unbox the unit after i just bought .
However the marketter are here too canny that they sell SM-910H (as an 3G variant) about 1800 TL , and they sell SM-910F (as an 4G variant) about 2300 TL , but even i dont prefer to buy an 4G or LTE version before because of the quad core (snapdragon variant) but after i search some info at google and forums , i found that some of eight cores (Exynos variants) variant work as an LTE as well (like SM-N910U, SM-N910C or SM-N910CQ (which is currently wide on Turkey) , and unfortunately it is hard to find SM-N910U and SM-N910C or SM-N910CQ units on Cyprus , and when i found 1 unit (SM-N910U) i bought it as an 3g price at 1800 TL from the seller ( because some of belives that all the Exynos variant does not support LTE) but this supports , so if the seller was made sure that this SM-N910U unit supports LTE , she would try to sell it to me as 2300 TL as an 4G unit

From what I can tell the main board is real because you have gotten OTA updates plus all the graphics look right. But I think the housing is a cheap aftermarket (look at the overspray of the black paint around the back edges), so it could possibly be a factory refurb. To answer your question about the N910F/N910U marking, since the base madel if N910F you will see the "F" even on "U" units, perfectly normal.
Sleep well!

The only problem is that any Samsung warranty is probably void.
Other than that there will be no problem, but I STRONGLY suggest that you either exchange that for a normal sealed phone or at least (on the longer term when you will learn more about the topic) do a complete firmware re-write as to remove anything that was installed (and was possibly hidden) on that phone (for instance keyboard loggers). Also check the reactivation lock.

well they dont give samsung manufacturer warranty they only have crazydeals own warranty which only covers software related issues
no hardware warranty
so there is chances some hidden keyloggers might be there , What do you mean by check reactivation lock what is reactivation lock
how to rewrite the firmware What steps
DOWNLOAD THE ORIGINAL FIRMWARE of N9005 and Install it
and then INSTALL REGION LOCKAWAY ? to unlock the phone again ?
i will try to ask them if they have other international version of n9005 which is factory unlocked what if they only have European sim model available
and as the firmware is modified i cannot get OTA FW Updates so what options i have left to get 4.4.2 or later updates on NOTE 3 ?

Best is that you return the one and get it replaced with new one. Your phone isn't brand new.

1. In theory it is that simple, however you probably have no idea what ORIGINAL firmware was So actually it could be much more complex, and you could softbrick the phone.
2. Region lockaway needs root. If you are using a non-EU SIM then you should be twice more careful.
3. You DO NOT want 4.4.2 until you are ABSOLUTELY certain that you can region-unlock the phone - there are reports that not all baseband versions actually work with region lockaway, so for the moment you probably have one that works! HOWEVER ON N9005 YOU CAN NEVER RETURN FROM 4.4.2 BACK TO 4.3! (at least for the moment).

I believe N9005XX is the EU network-unlocked (but region-locked for EU) version.
MI7 could have been rooted with knox 0 by using URDLV, cf-root made your knox 1.
Check the effective CSC on your phone and read the threads around on that matter. Very likely that after writing stock 4.4.2 you will have to re-root and you might need to region-unlock (again?). I do not know if region lockaway works with 4.4.2 - look around for first-hand reports (but be aware to look at reports for the same model of N9005 that you have). Keep in mind that if you write 4.4.2 you can NOT return back to any 4.3 version.

Hi Guys,
Need your help! I am a new user have no idea about the posting stuff.
I wanted to buy S4 GT-I9500 but unknowingly bought S4 American Sprint variant SPH-L720 because I was scammed. I bought this phone because it was showing something Model Number, Software Version of GS4- 19500 in the phone's "About Device" section (PIC 1 & PIC 2 attached) but later when I tried to connect it to Kies it just did not work and this made me suspicious. I took the phone to technician and he flashed genuine firmware on it SPH-L720. I was shocked to see, after that my my device model number and firmware was changed in the "About Device". See current PIC 3 & PIC 4.
I want it back to the previous state of (19500) as shown in the PIC 1 and PIC 2. Please advise how to do it step-by-step.
I am in a huge depression. Please help me!

damn the same thing happened with me yesterday bought a gt9500 which i think is sprint sphl720 but i am not confirmed as mtk droid tools shows baseband version as that of l720 i am hell confused please share how that technician figured it out ? i can flash l720 firmware but not sure about sim lock. did you unlock your phone after official firmware ? or it was unlocked. you have to root and build.prop and then you can edit model number. one more thing was your device pre rooted ?

my about device page is same as yours even the kernel version
Sounds like you guys bought Sprint GS4s that were made to look like the i9500. This was done by flashing a i9500 rom which is possible. Looks like you guys were suckered. You can still use the phone on a GSM network but it will only connect to HSPA+ and not LTE.

Your Phone Probablity Originated From China!! OBVIOUSLY!!
Sad to say mine is also a gt-i9500-ish sph-l720. i sent my friend to buy me an s4 and he came back and blurted how he got me a 4G s4 with gt-i9500, and since am really good at this topic I was dead sure they scammed this sucker, so i made sure it was the Sprint S4(apparently most of you has Sprint's). I even was amazed the length they went the info under the battery is for gt-i9500. All you have to do is go to download mode and it states the REAL model name and look at build number and mine was binbinkeji yours DONG something so you have american version of S4 which is kinda legit since you were able to get it to flash the original ROM and get it working, the downsides i found are me unable to use EDGE anymore since it forces you to use HSPA+ (discovered a fix but will get back after evaluating it) an don't detect SIM contacts. you can add a lot of bloatware to the list too. the network didn't re-lock on me, so i think you are safe even though don't know the state of your phone. If there is anything wrong with the 4G well you 'bought' a 3G phone. mine is lovely and all you might lose is 2000 antutu points. otherwise its a good old Samsung Galaxy S4. don't worry!!

Yes because the build prop on the phone will show the model number as the international model. But at the end of the day the phone will be a SPH-L720

Flashing ROMs and mods for another device is probably the easiest way to hard brick your phone.

None that I know of. You would have to do it manually and add the mods to the apks for your device. This stuff is a lot of work, there isn't an easy way to do it.

That seems like they put the motherboard of an L720 into the GTI9500... or something like that. If you can, take it back to wherever you got it. Unless you flashed software for a different phone.

Hi All,
I have an SM-N910U HK. Edition (Honkong edition) with a baseband of N910UXXU1ANL4 and build number KTU84P. N910UXXU1ANL4 with rooted official android 4.4.4 , due to its rooted , i never able to update the phone as well, so ;
1- The phone’s Default primary keyboard language is in chinese , and i am unable to remove or delete it , so i need an Default primary keyboard language to be in English prefered ( very important for me) at least and i never use and need chinese language support , but i just confused (please see the attached picture) , which one do i need to select ?? , i prefer the latest dates as updated as “2015-03-01” but pure english language support is more important for me
2- Many of advice New Zealand rom (for english support) but what about Baseband (PDA and CSC) ?? can i use any country of ROM ?? i live in Cyprus , does Baseband or country code affect the phone modem working as better or worst ??
3- What about others ?? like Taiwan and Panama roms ?? are they also chinese like Honkong or they are English only as well like New Zealand ?? because they seems as more updated like “2015-03-01” if so , can i use them instead of New Zealand ??
4- My phone Signal drops frequently as dramatically (2G/3G) , and lots of time it is continuously switching betwen H and H+ and signal bars frequently drops from full to one or two line on even when my mote 4 standing on my desk (my previous Note 2 or S3 never droped like that, and also my GSM operator has no coverage issiues) , so are there any modem firm that i can update ?? (for U series only) or other country code (for U series only) Roms like New Zealand , Panama or Taiwan can also change the modem firm automatically from Honkong as well during the flashing process ??
So , following the above conditions and by checking the attached picture, please help and advise me an updated best official working ROM for my SM-N910U , thanks for helps

I'm not sure, But I always used to go with BTU or DBT (UK/Germany) Roms, as in earlier Galaxy S (i9000) days, These CSC used to have all apps available in Playstore rather than the rest. Still I go with these CSC.
DBT will come with some bloatware which you can remove easily with root.

1) You need to select Samsung Keyboard as your primary keyboard and set the English as the primary language.
2) You can flash any ROMs made for your specific model number SM-N910U. Flashing other country's roms are not going to affect your phone in any way.
3) From my experience, Taiwan releases updates for their Samsung flagship devices every 2-3 months. This is faster than average release of updates.
4) Signal drop is a known issue for the SM-N910U regardless of what ROM or Modem you are running. SM-N910U is equipped with Intel XMM 7260 LTE modem and Intel has not fully integrated its kernel and drivers for the device. I personally own two SM-N910U models, one for Taiwan and one for New Zealand. They both experience signal drops.

I would also like to add that spamming the forum will not get you the answer faster. There are other people that has the same urgency to get responses and put rest to their questions. Just keep that in mind please.

Dear friend ,
Thanks for your helpfull answer but , i still some confused , so what i understand your answers is that , signal problem is a comon on U series , thats ok , and you mean , flashing different countries does not affect to modem firmware ?? is that correct ? , if so we will just wait a good working kernel and firmware for the intel modem, later?? and my second problem is that , (please see the attached picture as well) when i first setup the note 4 , or if i factory reset the note 4 the default language is chinese and it is untickable or unmovable (like in the picture attached) , but then you can add english later , but i dont want to be the primary language chinese , i want only in english (primary default) and if possible then turkish (secondary add on language) , so the taiwan rom is like HK. rom ?? (like first language chinese and unmovable) or the primary language is in english ?? , if not so , what about the other Roms ?? , or may i switch to New Zealand rom ?? ( i am just asking it for only about primary default language, updates my second preference but , i want to switch the updated english one , not chinese )
thanks again

Flashing different country's roms are not going to fix the ungoing issue of signal disconnecting. We'll need to wait until a new update is released.
Chinese IME is not removable, but your default keyboard is Samsung Keyboard, which means the Chinese IME is disabled. You can click the Samsung keyboard settings to change your input language.
Taiwan rom is 99% similar to Hong Kong version. The HK version has a newer baseband, but the rom content is the same. If you switch your rom to NZ version, you will have English as your default language and the Chinese IME will not be installed on your device.
Or you could flash THIS if you want the latest firmware with lots of features
You can also install a third party keyboard like THIS
In short and what has already been said; you can use any other firmware for the N910U from any region without issue. Only thing is some have chinese writing and others don't. It sounds like you don't want it so you should be fine.
Newer firmware has newer modem and it may be better for your region. I haven't had any signal issues with my N910U and I'm from Australia where this version isn't sold (we have N910G).

Hi
Background: I am usually very thorough when buying a new phone. This time I Wasn't well for many days and in the hospital. Urgently needed a new phone and ordered 1 online from a used shop. I specially wanted i9500.. no other variant..
I got one, it said i9500 on the back cover (echted in the plastics and well as the paper... which said made in india.. also the paper/sticker wasn't samsung quality but maybe since it was used, and indian made, i thought ok..
Now I inserted my sim and turned it on... Some chinese s***t! then samsung logo then the TouchWiz.. But there were many chinese apps as well. AND IT DID NOT DETECT MY SIM. Settings say its an i9500.. it felt like a samsung but something was off... In camera, as soon as I took a pic, phone got shut off! Had to take out battery... (btw, it says android 4.42 and when I go to Update.. .Samsung says it cant as device has been modified)
reformatted phone... more chinese sh*t, then Android loads up and there is no play store!
So I downoad a Darky ROM for i9500 and try flashing.. viola!! success.. Android 5.0.1
It said Sim not registered... then that message dissappears and now it shows me FULL SIGNALS but when I try to dial anything, it says Not registered on network! - WHen I went to settings... in device it is now saying:SM-903F (is that a ROM thing or is that the real phone model I have..?)
Can someone please help me.. the phone is very important here in my hosp.. cant type/read a lot of my laptop, it is very energy comsuming
Regards
P.S My location is Pakistan
See if you can enter download mode (Volume down and Power). If you can get into download mode, read off the model number displayed on screen. If you can't, the S4 is counterfeit.
The phone could also be a combination of various parts from different hardware versions of the s4.
Also, check to see if the imei is okay.

Yes bro, I can see the IMEI..
I tried flashing another ROM (TouchWiz) - Still sim is not recognized (but signal bars goes to full.. even if I take out the SIM.. guess thats a ROM issue)
Anyways, still stuck.. Which modem should I try flashing... :|
I was going to suggest a stock 9500 rom from sammobile.com but there are only ROMs for the 9500, not 9500chn.
Googling the model 9500chn links to other people that have the same problem when trying to flash another rom.

The phone model become GT-I9500CHN because of Chinese bootloader that unfortunately very hard to get rid of this stuff.
______
Your phone might be trying to connect to China Mobile or China Unicom that uses TD-SCDMA instead of WCDMA for most regions.
Also, after you install DarkLord S6 port on your device, you'll get phone model on About device as SM-G903F (Galaxy S5 Neo) instead of the normal one for more compatibility (according to the developer).
I would try to check the IMEI online to see if this is original or not (ilegally tampered from other device).

Cheap chinese fake replicas. All ib one line.
Do nothing about it. Ordering online was the worst decision.
Now there are threads here on how to manage these clones. Read one of them

I hate chinese like u do... but this is not cheap
and it is actually a REAL Samsung Galaxy
problem is its GT-i9500CHN - aargghhhhhh - pain doubling... due to me being in hospital. cant go outside to kill someone
If you flashed custom ROMs and them boot, it's not a clone. I9500 performs an Exynos CPU, Chinese clones a Mediatek one, so just for this ROMs couldn't even boot.
All you can do is try to flash a stock firmware from SamMobile, an I9500 firmware coming from China, and see what happens.
By the way, I think this guy bought a Chinese (Genuine) I9500, then rooted it for install Google Apps, that would probably be the reason of the GApps disappearing after formatting (as far as I know, Chinese phones have a backup partition where an emergency copy of the stock firmware is located, I don't know if Samsung does this as well).
For the SIM problem, it's probably simlock, and it probably works only with a determined Chinese operator (or, again, it probably doesn't supports Pakistan's signal bands).
All you can do is check your IMEI on some dedicated site and see if it's simlock, then if it's not, check if the bands that your phone supports are compatible with Pakistan ones.
Sorry for my bad english.

Again, China's bands are TD-SCDMA, not WCDMA as we use mostly over the world.

Once again, GT-I9500CHN is just from the bootloader. Installing any GT-I9500 firmware should work.

Mr @Shozaf.shah yes search and ask to your developers and teachers if u get any solution so please inform me
cuz the keyboard you are looking at is from the states. Ours is made for china/english its a different keyboard vs stock american english. You need to install a different keyboard from playstore. That's just how it is.

I know i can download diffrent keyboards from play store currenty im using Xperia keyboard.apk Gboard.apk Swypkey.apk and many differents i can download, but u know what am i talking about i have rooted phone now what was the benefit of what i rooted my phone..? I can't even Change and replace now the Stock keyboard what u talked about stock China vs Stock America, i saw many Posts many videos about to replace the system keyboard, As a S6 Keyboard S7 keyboard in any Samsung phones by Root Explorer but when i did this its not worked, the Msg comes up The Samsung keyboard unfortunately has been Stopped u tell me some solution if we have rooted phones so we can easily changing in our phone system setting and this is a minor matter for u @travis82 because you are a developer and also @criszz @abuawaahed also a developer @AL_IRAQI @sriszone
And also when i go to the play store its also sayd
You are having issues cuz you might need a deodex rom or deodexed keyboard. The stock keyboards come with more than just an apk they usually tie in to framework and have seperate files on the partition for the samsung ime. I would need to make a new rom and test keyboards to make sure it does not crash the system. There isnt an easy solution its not a copy paste job like you assume it is.
Maybe try an aosp keyboard here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/linea...oid-keyboard-aosp-7-1-2-android-apk-download/
Samsung Keyboard here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...-keyboard/samsung-keyboard-2-1-01-40-release/
Also just to change the keyboard there was absolutely no need for root to achieve this.
So I wil let the other "devs"... help you through this and I will work more on my kernel and LineageOS little by little. Good luck to you.
ps.. did you try hitting the face on the top next to the mic for emoji?

@travis82 Yes i tried mic emoji setting in my friends mobile i think its my bad luck that i have HK Variant mobile i must not had to buy HK Variant mobile i must had to buy my region mobile when i see that official keyboard in my friends and family mobile which i show u in image so I'm very angry ? i wish my phone has my region CSC and its make me more angry that i have rooted my phone even then i can't install official keyboard after even rooted I'm not a owner i can't apply my rules in my phone ?
Yes you can; read, search, test. Don't give up. Personaly i don't undestend what you trying to do and how you do it. My 2 cents. Find a deodex rom from samsung marshmallow, unpack keyboard, copy to your system priv-app, set permision and that is.
@criszz u said u don't understand what I'm talking about u didn't understand my post..? Just a simple post i describe my problems by images 1st one image is my keyboard second amd 3rd is offciall keyboard which is in every Samsung phones amd i want it i have to tried many SamsungIME.apk to copy paste and replace to old one SamsungIME.pk to go to system-app-SamsungIME then paste to replace original one and Libswiftkeysdk-java.so file copy to System-Lib folder then set the permissions but Samsung keyboard unfortunately has been Stopped ? it was a S6 official Keyboard you may watch video about it

your mobile is real or twrp would not boot. stop being a drama queen over a damn keyboard jesus christ. China/HK regions keyboards have always been like this even my Note 4, S5 Duos, S7 Edge, C9. THIS IS NORMAL for all China HK mobiles here cuz WE TYPE CHINESE TOO. I told you before, do your friends have C9 no its a different mobile. This is the common keyboard pre-installed on all samsung hk/china region devices. If you think its a fake ill buy it off ya so my son can upgrade his LG G4 with it. Then you can buy a ****ty variant from your region.
If this has to be explained one more time you will go on my ignore list.
