Hello. I'm using Samsung galaxy S5 and want to upgrade it manually. In the Settings>About, the model number appears to be SM-G900F, but when i set the phone into Download Mode, it shows SM-G900P. So, which firmware exactly do i have to load on the phone? that of SM-G900F or that of SM-G900P?

Put your device in download mode. the download mode will display a lot of informations. This model is the correct one.

I recently re-installed the stock firmware on my Galaxy S4, because I wanted to get the newest version, which I previously couldn't as I was rooted. And I noticed when It booted, it now has a Carrier logo of THREE on the boot screen. Was this added in 4.4.2? I could only find carrier versions of the firmware online, and no others, so I picked my carrier. If there is any online that are not linked to a carrier could I get a link please?
GT-I9505 - Is the model

1. Conect it to Kies 3 and verify your CSC like in pic attached below.
2. Knowing your CSC you can go to Sammobile.com and download the correct firmware for ur phone. The firmware will be without carrier logos if your phone is unlocked.
3. Tell me your CSC if u are confused and i will help telling you the correct firmware for ur device
this is driving me bunkers. so i buy an unlocked i9500 in eBay from hongkong and everywhere on the box and on the phone itself it says i9500
but in download mode it shows up as SGH-i337 and also upon using the phone (stock) it randomly asks me to sync my AT&T contacts.
the SIM card that i used is not even AT&T. and also my attempt to install CWM via odin failed.

I guess your phone is not genuine.
it might have been packed in different package.
maybe.

you mean its not samsung made? as in its a chinese fake? lol i dont think so. it just looks too normal for that
You have an i337. It's simple as that. You have probably a rom installed that's based on a i9500 rom. So nothing to worry, you just need to look in the i337 section.

i did just now, it says its a i9500
ok this is just bizzare. so installing PHONE INFO SAMSUNG i get these:
phone model: i9500
device type: jflteatt
product name: jflteuc
boot loader version: i337ucuemk2
pda version: i9500xxuemj9

once you are sure (check also what FW version you have) you can flash I9500 cwm with odin.
Odin has nothing to do with what is already installed. (expected your drivers are well installed). CWM can be pushed in.
If download mode says that you have an i337 then you have an i337.

It seems you have a true I337 because of the bootloader infos but all the rest is messed up with tricks done by former owners.
So you must reflash a stock I337 fw to refresh everything. get it from sammobile site.
edit :
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
ro.product.brand=samsung
ro.product.name=jflteuc
ro.product.device=jflteatt
These are correct infos telling that your phone is a good I337 model.

I too face the same issue...did you find any solution. Can you please share it ?
hi same problem
hi i have same poblem here and i can't use download mode to instal lolipop official or any ohter rom any solution u get there
As mentioned upthread, if the model number posted in Download Mode is SGH-I337, you have an AT&T Galaxy S4. Because of this, you will want to look in the AT&T Galaxy S4 forums for ROMs regarding your device. Unless you have no other alternative, I do not recommend installing AT&T firmware on the phone. If you do install AT&T firmware, it will work, but it will also update the bootloader to a version that disallows rooting and custom ROMs.
Ideally, you want to get your money back from whomever sold you the phone. Frankenphones are nothing but trouble.

that actually wont work. you cant flash a stock rom on these . i tried the appropriate hong kong firmware and an i337 firmware. they just fail.
^ exactly
my friend had a phone like this. bootloader was t mobile, but wouldnt install rom using odin
I flashed cm11 for GPE and and baseband modem from m919 using cwm and it finally worked
I think these phones are made using working parts from different phones
Hello guys,
I got a Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910F (Retail Unit) from a friend, I flashed a stock ROM to get rid of the Retail Mode but now I have Baseband Unknown and No Network. Is there a way I can fix this and use the device Normally??
I would really appreciate any help..
Edit 1: The Phone IMEI Number via *06# shows Null Null and under about phone, IMEI Number is also unknown.

If you sure you have right firmware for you're Note 4 "910F" flash again with Odin!
Set Odin by default! Tick not RE Partition and so on!

Does that mean it cant be used normally with a SIM Card, just Wifi or is there a way I can get it to work?

You have an app "Samsung Retailmode" in your appdrawer?
So open Configuratin Settings in this app, than you have to enter Admin Passwort! Enter 1. Password : 5444
After this disable the factory...... here you need second password! 2. Password : M729Q16K8546
After this check reset and reboot! Hope that helps!?

I already removed the Retail Mode App from the phone and flashed a stock ROM, but I cant get the SIM card to work and access mobile Networks (Baseband Version: Unknown). I would like to fix that and get it working normally, (maybe flashing some different Modem or Mod to enable network access) but I don't know what to flash or how to do it. :crying:

I know only the method with Unlock from RetailMode App!
Maybe it works when you flash Retail Firmware/ Install Retail Mode app and try it with the passwords above?
You can download retail mode app from playstore!
if you have a live demo unit you'll never can get it work, so there's no hardware (modem) inside

As you can see in the screenshot, there is no info about Modem Board, so I doubt it does not have modem hardware (?).
Can you show me all screenshots from that app? (you can use S Pen to capture screenshot easily).
And also can you show a picture of the back sticker (behind the battery).
Thanks.
Nothing ?
Same thing happened to me too,but before that I had a fully functionaly phone.After I flashed many custom roms ended in bootloop and only a stock rom NEE 5.0.1 works,all other stock rom I flash ends in bootloop.And baseband unknown,imei null,no modem.
I think from Note 3 onwards, samsung has choosen to make separate hardware for its demo devices. In some specific models even the AMOLED panel also is unique and can't be used with other devices. I am currently working with samsung. Earlier we were using these demo devices for personal use and for spare parts. Right now it's good for nothing other than playing games and surfing Internet.
Ok, so a few days ago i bought samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9500. Everything is fine except when i change launguage to my naitive. After that some of the apps stay in english and others change their language into chinese( i'm not sure if its chinese but it looks like it). phone runs on android 4.4.2. i tried to uptade it to android 5.0.1 with odin but everytime i try it fails either in re-partition or nand write start. Enyone can help? I tried using differnt cables, usb ports and even diferent computers, always switch off antivirus and kill kies, and start odin as administrator.
Enter download mode and tell us the model number displayed there. That way we can rule out a Frankenstein phone and help you better.

it's not a S4 I9500 , it's a SHV-E330S with diffrent hardware processor 2.3GHz LTE advanced , dont try to upgrade with I9500 Firmware you gonne brick your phone , take look here and try one of this firmwares http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SHV-E330S/
I didnt know that. I only checked in settings and model number displayed there is gt-i9500 but im pretty new to samsungs so i'll try with that. Thankfully nothing bad happened.
One more question, can i use only firmware for shv-e330s witch is for south korea or can i also use firmware for gt-i9506 witch has csc dedicated for my country. As i checked it shv-e330s and gt-i9506 are the same.
You can only use firmware for the E330S. Odin will reject attempts to install the I9506 firmware on the device. If there are custom ROMs available for your device, I would use one of them.

Thank you, dear sir. I'll certainly do this.
Hi there I have a doubt about the product name of my phone I have the F variant which is kltexx but I rooted my phone and I changed to kltespr and unrooted it later I wanted to root again and I realise that I changed the product name the question is can I root with the kltexx file or I have to download the kltespr to root my phone?
Boot in download mode and write the model number. That is the only sure way of knowing your model number.

Try to flash a klte rom. It should work. I can use klte, spr g900f
You've 'fooled' it to be a different model on the software side so that you can install apps which you normally can't but the hardware won't change. It's a klte and always will be even if the software says it's something else. If it used to say klte when you bought it then that's what it is
