Hi guys,
I've bought a used s4, and after some time spended knowing the new cell phone I saw on the boot screen "Galaxy GT-I9515L" and start to look for a custom rom to this model. But there isn't any one right?
But there's some weird thing , in the back part of the cell where's located the battery is written model "I9505" and the box that came with it have the same thing, "model "i9505".
But when I tried to install a custom or the original rom for this version using the Odin an error message appears and I can't install. Then I tried to put a original lolipop version to "I9515L" and works fine whitout problems and errors.
So what can it be? Maybe the older owner had put an wrong rom? If so, how can I fix this?
Sorry for my bad English. Hope that you guys can understand and help me.
Thanks
Boot into download mode. There is your model.
Ignore everything else, just look at the download mode.

Hi everyone!
First of all I am sorry for my poor english, it's my third language...
I have a Samsung S4 SGH-I337M (The canadian one with Fido).
I used to root it, and then try some different custom rom and after this I wanted to put back the orginal firmware using ODIN because I installed not correctly a ROM and I didnt have the application to purshase APPs lol,... But my usb wire got disconnected from the phone while I was puting the firmware back into the phone! Now I cant boot my phone.... It tell me : " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. "..
And when I use ODIN, I receive a fail message telling me I am missing a PIT file.
But I dont have any PIT file,... I am lost haha... I hope someone can help me with it!
And if its possible, maybe I can dirrectly install a new custom ROM dirrectly from ODIN ? At this moment nothing work on my phone....
Hi there,
I realy need your help on my problems with the G2 32GB D802.
I bought it on ebay and instead of getting it from GB it came from HongKong and I didn't think about it that it does not have a european ROM.
First I wanted to root and flash custom recovery and cloudyG3 rom. After rooting with ioroot and installing the TWRP I stuck in the fastboot mode. First problem I did not make a backup because I never reached TWRP. Download mode only appeared for a second an then disappeared again.
After a lot of searching I found that probably the 802autorec.apk was wrong, since I don't have a european model. So I installed via fastboot a laf.img for a D800. After that the download mode was working again and I installed different roms via flashtool2014. The installation worked again but after rebooting the phone I had a lot of trouble with it. That the reason for trying different roms as I sad befor.
First, the fingertip points at different areas of the screen but not there where you are touching the screen. So you can not reach the buttons or write on the keyboard.
Second, after connection to pc I recognized that my 32GB model had only 10GB internal memory.
Finaly I can not use the phone. For me it seems that I burned my partitions and need your help to get it right again.
Please give me a chance.
Best regards an thanks for helping me.
p.s.: I tried to go to the settings menu in the phone and reached it after a lot of confusing taps on the screen. All the phones informations like IMEI and all the other disappeared. Something realy went wrong with it.
No one an idea how to get back to normal?

I now have the answer from the dealer that my G2 has the Firmware D80220B.
Just try and test it. Good luck.
@Angryyolk
I just ask myself how to enter engeniering mode?
Thanks for your help.
I walked one step forward now.
But there is still no solution for my problem. I found a link to LG "http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI" to get the information about the version of my stock ROM. Just replace IMEI by your real number and you will get it.
In the meantime I flashed the rom with flashtool but the screen behaviour is still the same.
I later rooted the phone with towleroot and then installed the correct autorek.apk for the D802. That worked properly. I reached TWRP but in fact of the weired screen behaviour I couldnt do something. I tried to fix my IMEI problem with QPST but this tool showed only empty tables on my PC when I connected my G2 with usb.
I tried an update of the screen firmware as posted above. The code that has to be entered on the dialer is 3845#*802# but it wont work for me since I can't enter "settings" the service menu. That's because of the weired behaviour.
Beste regards
I now was able to enter the hidden menu. And I was able to get to the menu point "update touch firmware" but nothing happend.

It might seem like a simple topic with a simple answer, and a thread that shouldn't be created, but it's not like that.
The story goes like this. I bought a couple of LG G2's "D802" 32G (ill explain quatation mark later) from Alliexpress for reselling and decided to keep one myself. Being an android fan the first thing I would do is update the firmware or flash a custom ROM. So I tried to install TWRP with no luck, I bricked my phone (trying to get the phone out of the state of "fastboot mode only" resulted in hard brick, after that I sent it for warranty to alliexpress seller). I got a replacement phone, everything as usual, perfect phone from the first sight. Now to my question(s)... :
1. I checked the IMEI on Swappa, it doesn't even show what phone model it is. I tried to enter the IMEI to this site: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/svc/popup/model_check.jsp?esn=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx for .img extractions it won't load as such IMEI seems to be not real!!!
2. After reading around I found this thread: http://androidforums.com/threads/in...-international-hong-kong-version-32gb.877957/ . It says here that IMEI counterfeiting is not a new thing and changing one model to appear as another (for example D800 to D802) is just a matter of flashing a modified image, thus resulting in wrong IMEI numbers.
3. Now the main question: How do I safely install a custom ROM for my particular model (ill check what model number is printed under the back when I get home)? Would flashing a recovery requires reflashing the phone to it's original state trough download mode , let's say to D800 partitions? Would model check when flashing wrong files prevent me from installing anything at all?
If someone knows how to deal with this, or maybe even had simillar experience could help me, that would be amazing. Thank you for taking your time to read and reply.

Okay, so I checked what's under the cover... Hidden under a few stickers I found that it's actually not a D802, but rather D801/D803 (that's what's written under the cover). So the phone is D801/D803 , the back cover is D802, the software is D80220b. Any ideas how to get to custom rom without bricking the phone??
I just booted to recovery and guess what, it's preloaded with working PhilZ Touch 6.25.4 - LG G2 (cm_d801) recovery. Where does this lead me to? Should I try installing a rom?
Hello, a friend of mine gived me an hard bricked phone.
As written in the title the phone is a Samsung galaxy A5 2016, SM510F.
Is not the first time I do things like that, but this phone is quite frustrating to work with.
I tried everything on this phone but the only thing that it does is the download mode.
It has no hardware problems, everything is working fine. The battery can't be removed.
I obviously tried to let it charge for long time. It does not even shows the battery icon while charging.
No boot, no logo.
I tried flashing 2 different version of the original ROM downloaded from SamMobile with Odin.
I tried an old and a new one.
I tried Flashing the Bootloader extracted from the ROM.
I tried flashing the 4 part ROM.
I tried flashing the PIT, since i suspected that my friend somehow cleard NAND while he was trying to flash the Root.
But out of this I get nothing. Odin gives a success but the phone only turned off and did not reboot.
I ask you if you have some different ideas, some similar experiences or some advices.
If you have some files please remember that I'm italian, so I need ITV.
I have no more ideas. Otherwise I will tell my friend to try to go to a samsung center.
Thanks.
You can try install custom recovery
