First let me start:
I opened Download Mode and I saw, that my model is SGH-I337 (AT&T version).
Binaries and system status are "official". Knox varranty void is 0x0. And I have root access in my phone without any SuperSU.But problem is in other part.
I checked specs in my phone by app and I saw, that i have Quad core 1.9 GHz that are specs for SGH-I337 BUT version of my system is for I9500.
As same as in Setting>Info my model version is I9500. But my Download Mode says I have SGH-I337 model.
So to clarify: I have SGH-I337 phone with I9500 system.
Everything works fine, but I also read that SGH-I337 has LTE but system that I have in my phone doesn't have it.
And again to clarify (what is "really really weird"):
I have built-in root in my phone at completely stock firmware with:
- Stock recovery
- Knox warranty void: 0x0
- Current binaries: Samsung Official
- System status: Official
- And, my phone at first didn't have an application for "root management" (I meant that I didn't have SuperSU installed or similar app). System was just allowing root to everything I opened so i installed SuperSU successfully to manage root access (lel?).
My questions are (If you know answer for only one, just post number. Everything will be helpful for me ):
1. How did I got root on COMPLETELY NEW phone having stock recovery, official binaries and system status, knox flag 0x0?
2. Why do I have I9500 firmware on SGH-I337 phone?
3. How can I flash SGH-I337 firmware without custom recovery and without losing my root (cuz i love my root with warranty )?
4. App "Samsung Phone Info for SAMSUNG" on Google Play says that my phone is ORIGINAL but "Manufacturing Date does not match with the Serial Number". What is means?
5. My stock recovery have "android with red triangle" with few chinese letters (about 3 or 4) under that picture but everything with phone works normal and recovery doesn't write any errors (I don't know if that picture is qualified as an error).

1. Your phone either is a Frankenstein phone, or more likely a counterfeit. See 4 below.
2. See 1 above.
3. Assuming the phone is an authentic Samsung device (see 4 below), you can flash the AT&T ROM through Odin. However, you will not only lose root, but gain AT&T's locked bootloader, which makes rooting more difficult.
4. See 1 above.
5. Take a picture of the recovery so we can see what you're talking about. However, languages other than English in the recovery is a bad sign. It almost invariably means the device is a counterfeit. To be sure, take the device to the nearest service center and have them check it out. They'll let you know if it's real or not.
You have an SGH-I337. Always look at the version stated in the download mode. Ignore the rest. The rest can be easily edited and holds no value. Nothing wrong with your phone.

Hi all! I don't know if I am missing something/this is normal/this is new. I rooted my S4 android 4.2. Realised that triangle away doesn't work for i9500 So lost my warranty. Ah well... Yesterday I decided i would upgrade my firmware (as my provider just released one). Kies didn't work and just kept stuck at 0% so i copied the firmware file from temp folder and used odin.
Now I have 4.3 on my phone, tried to do something in root folders but it wouldn't let me as i don't have root anymore.... I checked my download mode and it looks like this:
cant post images yet
product name: GT-i9500
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: Official
Warranty bit: 0
If its been rooted (FOR i9500) and warranty is void it would say :Warranty bit 1 (right?), with a counter next to the current binary?
bottom line... my warranty is back for some reason? Or am i missing something...
[Q] Need Help With "Firmware encountered and issue" after trying to unlock S4 for GSM
I have an issue with corrupted firmware after trying to unlock my Sprint SPH-L720 for domestic GSM service. I hastily went through the procedures as directed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530610. In hindsight I apparently should not have done this procedure due to the fact that my phone had the Knox kernel. (I surmise this from the ensuing error message I get on trying to boot the device since flashing. On boot I get a screen with the following details.
Odin Mode
Product Name: SPH-L720
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enable
EMMC Burst Mode: Enabled
Start [224, 1440]
SW Rev. Check Fail : Fused : 5 ; Binary : 1
Above info is listed in very small print at top left of screen
Then in middle of screen...
Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please select recovery
mode in Kies & try again.
So here is what I need help with that I can not seem to find specific
details about. I need to get the device back in working order again
evidently by flashing the proper stock firmware and then restore the
factory image. I can not seem to find a thread detailing exactly how to
do this along with the links to all the software necessary to accomplish
the task. Surely I am not the only one who has experienced this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.

What out days on download mode, i337, is what you have. It sounds like you have a custom rom installed. Since you're rooted get a terminal emulator from the play store. Open it and type
su
getprop ro.bootloader
What are the last three characters?

That's interesting. Do you know if you have safestrap installed? Boot into recovery. Did you buy the device new?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I bought the device new. I mean, it is straight from America to my country (Poland) so the device is new. I booted into recovery. Interface is:
(there is red text)
Android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H.I337UCUFNC1
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
(here is menu with blue text)
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
(this is the end)
At bottom there is with yellow text:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC. . .
Applied the CSC-code : ATT
Succesfully applied multi-CSC.
(And in the middle of interface there is picture of android with opened belly and above belly red triangle with "!" character. Under picture there are 3 chinese letters.
It looks like stock recovery.
That sounds like the stock recovery but I've never heard of it having Chinese characters. Sounds like you might have gotten a fake i337

I already saw few videos of "fake" galaxy s4 and my phone looks like Original. Home button is ok.
The same processor has normal frequency and RAM is also ok.
Flash lamp also looks like original (most white like is should be).
I did benchmark to compare my score vs normal SGH-I337 phone using AnTuTu Benchmark and the score was even quite better than normal. It can't be fake.
Everything in my phone is legit.
But still, built-in root and I9500 system in SGH-I337 is suspicious.
The only think that i miss is LTE but this is firmware problem (because i have I9500 system in SGH-I337 and I9500 model doesn't have LTE).
Is there a solution to force LTE module to work?
Okay, the matter is as follow:
I wanted to buy Smasung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 model.
I got original SGH-I337 model with system of GT-I9500 model (I don't know how It was so done [without custom recovery, knox tripping, binary tripping etc] but It was done o.o). The seller probably wanted to cheat me that It is GT-I9500 but really It was SGH-I337.
I knew that It was quite suspicious with built-in root access.
I will call seller for replacing my phone for GT-I9500 with f*kin GT-I9500 system without f*kin fraud.
Hi folks, (newbie here, so not sure what I'm doing here, (or with my Phone).
According to the info in About Device, I have an S5 (SM-G900F), Build No: G900FXXU1ANE2, Baseband V: G900AUCU2AND3
I've been trying' to 'Return to Stock', (Alliance ROM on Phone when I bought it, practically brand new).
Have read shed loads of tutorials on flashing the device with the use of ODIN and Firmware based on above Build No, but ODIN fails every time, exceptionally quickly, (like 3 seconds in).
I decided to give KIES a go, but KIES will not even attempt anything unless I put the device in as SM-G900A, then it will offer to download and install Firmware G900UACU1ANCE (ATT), but even that fails early during download. (Incidentally, when in Download Mode, the top of the Screen displays ODIN Mode, then Product Name: SM-G900A. In Download Mode, info also says: Reactivation Lock (kk): Off KNOX Warranty Void: 0x0 Secure Check Fail: [aboot] (sometimes with Fixed 2 > Binary 1 after [aboot].
KIES says the following F/W is installed: G900FXXU1ANE2/G900FOXU1ANE2/G900AUCU2AND3/G900FXXU1ANE2 (BTU)
The back of my phone does have an AT&T logo on it, (I assume therefore my phone is AT&T International version, hence the ATT Firmware suggestion in KIES? Would the locked Bootloader therefore stop me from flashing the ROM on it and returning to stock?
Have been proffered some further info elsewhere, perhaps you developers may have a solution. read the following:
It looks as though someone has done some very heavy duty modding to get Alliance ROM v4 for KitKat, NE2, to work on the AT&T carrier minority variant, G900A. This would seem to include flashing a stock G900F KitKat firmware to it after, possibly, altering the .PIT file/s. This would account for KIES not being able to upgrade it and Odin not being able to flash it as it is now neither a G900A or a G900F and the CSC codes and Product codes will not match. See 40 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide for details of the models mentioned and CSC codes. Unfortunately, without knowing how or which mods were used to enable Alliance ROM v4 to run on a G900A, I cannot comment further.
Thanks for any assistance/answers folks, Andy
Hi
I'm here in Canada where I have a Samsung S4 SGH-i337M and need a tar file. I believe I need I337MVLUAMG3. It's for a Bell Mobility (Bell Canada) phone. The sticker on the ROM has the following info:
091011
T04B
V04D910J6
A-KKMR
VLUAMG3
At the moment it boots up with the Samsung S4 logo and in blue at the top Recovery Booting...and hangs for ever.
Any help would be so much appreciated.
sammobile.com. Get your ROM from there.

Hey...the file is not there, does anyone else know where I could get one from?
Thanks.
You didn't look hard enough.
Thanks for the info, however I don't see ROM version I337MVLUAMG3 For some reason I might not have access to see it, or it's not there. Could you please link me to that ROM?
Thanks...
No, because that letter combination does not exist anywhere for any I337M. Searching the Internet for that string of letters and numbers comes up with two entries on Google, both referring to this thread. Therefore, what you believe you needed in fact isn't what you needed.
Download the latest ROM from the link, and use that to fix your phone.

I have loaded all versions and still have the same problem. A little more info I got, it was unlocked, so I'm not sure what version to use at this point. Do I go back to the original provider and load that ROM or do I have to find out what provider they used when the phone was unlocked?
If the phone is unlocked, it doesn't matter what ROM you use as long as it's for an I337M. Thus, any I337M ROM from sammobile should have fulfilled your requirements. That means something isn't right here.
The first obvious thing to do here is to check and make sure your volume + control isn't stuck. Tap the edge of the phone gently against a table to loosen the buttons and see if you still have the recovery booting problem. If that doesn't resolve your problem, enter download mode and read off all the information in the upper left of the screen.

Take your phone in and have it serviced. There is absolutely no reason for a stock ROM downloaded from sammobile to not have restored your phone, except one: you have a bad emmc chip.
