I have a Note 3 with model number SM-N9009, which is the Chinese Telecom version. It comes with the stock Chinese firmware which has a Chinese version of android (China Telecom start up screen animation, no Google Play, Chinese weather app, etc).
I want to get an U.S. version of Android running on it, using CWM recovery to restore from a stock ROM for a different model, or something similar.
The device is currently rooted and I can run CWM on it without issues.
I'm wondering if there is any compatible English firmwares ROM that is compatible with this model.
For example, the ones that I think may work are the firmwares for SM-N9005 or maybe SM-N900T
The N9009 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8674 processor running at 2265 MHz while the other two has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974AB running at the same frequency.
It seems that these three models have similar processors, which may mean possible compatibility?
I'm not sure what are the factors that decide compatibility, or if this is possible at all, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Why are you placing the same question in different forums?

The SMG900F is the best supported model if you like rooting, flashing and modding and It also supports the download booster. It has a Qualcomm 801 Quadcore cpu.

International is a vague description, but 900F and 900H would best fit the appellation. As noted above the 900F and a variety of other variant models have the download booster feature. You could check with carriers or search the forum if you want to learn whether specific variants also utilize that feature.

Okay thanks guys i like flashing roms and rooting so i think the GM900F would be a good option since it also has download booster.
Hello i'm getting really confused. I wanted to know how many versions of the Htc D820 do we have out there? I saw htc D820u, htc D820q, Htc D820s. Are there anymore versions?? And i have htc D820u, what does the 'u' mean??
I've HTC Desire 820t it's a chinese version, the U is for india I think and so on....
There are three major 820 variants: Snapdragon 615, Snapdragon 410 and Mediatek 6752. D820n(Europe), D820u/w(India), D820t(China) falls under Snapdragon 615. They carry the name a51_ul. Snapdragon 410 is only for 820q. Mediatek, on the other hand, is for D820s/ts/us (I don't know which market are targeted). They carry the name a50_ml.
I have made the comparison of the variants. There's other minor variants btw: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacom...&id4=8372&id5=6879&id6=7009&id7=6740&id8=6702
Correct me if I'm wrong
I have the D820F in Australia.

I have an 820h. I have been reading the guide to open other frequencies as this model has 4g capabilities, just not the us frequencies.

Look for it on your phone's back panel, in the bottom there should be a line telling you your answer.

Basically mean Desire 820 Dual Sim.
Sent from my sirius using XDA Labs
Mine is imported note 4..current version is android 5.1...I want to update to 6.0 official....is there any way for updating it....it's showing snapdragon processor in hardware info app...also it's rooted ...root checker it's showing root access..
Jeez dude! Provide more info about the exact model no.! G, F, whatever... There are only processors Snapdragon and Exynos!
N190F didn't have mm for now.
Many other's variant have it but with a lot of bugs.
Maybe it's better to wait for have Marshmallow's without a lot of trouble.

Hi, I am new here. I hope I don't post something too obvious but I don't think it is since there are many specifics. I also hope this is in the right section of the forum, feel free to move it elsewhere if it is not. There is so much information going on that I'm a bit lost.
So I bought this samsung galaxy note 4 on kijiji a couple months ago. I noticed strange memory anomalies when I started to really understand the phone. I had to take it to a repair center because I thought I didn't have access to the full memory. The guy said this phone was either not from here (I'm from canada/quebec and I bought it in montreal) or it was a clone. It is so identical to a real one I would not have doubted it because it was the first time I had one in my hands. Yesterday I googled a bit on differences between real and fakes and I think it is a fake according to this youtube video from techmagnet: Fake vs Real Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - New Version - Best chinese 1:1 Replica for 150$ ? [HD]
Sorry I can't post the link since I'm new. Just copy paste the tilte.
It is pretty much identical to his fake so I guess it's the same. They have almost same informations. So first thing is it had only 16gb when I bought it instead of the 32 announced and is stuck on kitkat 4.4.4 while there is supposed to be a lollipop update I believe, maybe even marshmallow I'm not sure. So now that I know that, it doesn't bother me too much that it is fake because it runs very smoothly and properly. Now what I am wondering is how can I indentify what's really under this cover and can I update it. According to the video, the guy says there should be no problem. But I have never updated a galaxy note 4, my last one was a optimus black so nothing to compare. I have also never flashed or used custom rom or rooted a phone but I heard they can be faster, more stable (not that the one I have is not, it is perfectly stable) and with more options. I don't know if someone can confirm the real benefits of upgrading my phone.
Now if it is possible to do so I would gladly share the necessary information to help find the right firmware. So what information do I need, how do I find it and which rom should I run on this phone. There seems to be a lot of them and I don't know any of them actually. I have already the apps used in the video(cpuz, geekbench 3, and android assistant if this is what I need but they give different informations on some of the phone infos.. From what I learned from the repair store, the canadian firmware should be SM-N910c if I remember correctly but I'm not sure. But this phone says N910F which is why I thought it was simply a european model at first that was maybe stolen and sold back here because the IMEI was good. The guy at the repair store told me he was reluctant to change the firmware himself because he feared he might break the device with the wrong stock firmware, something I think should not happen with a custom one? Anyway he just reset my phone and I ended up losing memory because now it shows 4gb instead of 16 that should have been 32 in the first place, but I assume since it is a clone it must simply have 16.
Last thing I want to know is the guy who sold me the phone told me he had unlocked it for it to work on every network companies. I'm currently with koodo/telus. Can updating my firmware block it again, like erase the unblocking? Or is it safe? I assume it is possible that custom roms just unlock the phone anyway but I am a noob at this.
From what I can tell you at first those are the information I think might be usefull but I don't know if I need more. I'll just take the lead and share what I think might be useful:
Cpu z says I have qualcomm Snapdragon 800 3.00 ghz but Geekbench says I'm not actually going that fast.
It says 4 cores, should be 8 if it was a real note 4 I think
krait 400 architecture
revision r0p3
Gpu: Adreno (TM)330
(SM-N910F)
Board: APQ8084
Hardware: MT6582
Kernel Architecture: armv7l
Kernel version: 3.4.67 (N9100ZCU1ANIF)
System says 3000 of RAM but geekbench says I'm not actually reaching that.
And system, android assistant and Cpu z doesn't seem to agree on the amount of internal memory I have. Cpuz does say I should be having 16gb so I think a firmware update should give me back those extra gb right?
Sorry there are lots of questions but I need proper guidance to get me in the right direction. I hope this is enough information. Once I get to know which rom to use and the proper steps of installation I should be able to find my way.

I had S4 clone,and it just not good
Never buy clones,but never.You have 4GB memory,not 16GB.
For upgrading ROM,search on google MTK ROMS- you have MT6582,first u need proper recovery,than MTK tools(root and backup old system) and finily ROM(You need to copy aome files from ur currnet ROM in new one-files like drivers for wifi,camera,bt etc)
It complicated,YOU CAN BRICK DEVICE-and no,memory stay 4GB it real one
Ps Just check again if it for sure MT 6582(download app Genuine Galaxy - Phone Info)
And here is ROMS for you(each off this must be ported for your device-have instuction on site): http://www.mtkroms.com/p/custom-roms-for-mtk6582.html?m=1

I think I have one of the best clones there is so it's not that bad. I have a 64gb SD card so I don't complain about internal memory.
So does upgrading rom erase the network unlocking?
And how do I choose between all those roms? There are so many! I guess a marshamallow one would be nice but is it stable and fast with this device?
Should I go with a rom that's like the one I already have? I don't know which one it is. Is there a way to find out?
Edit: Genuine galaxy says my IMEI is one of a Mobi SM55.
It says the cpu hardware is Qualcomm MSM 8974.
It also says I should have 16GB rom. I'm confused now
And CPU model says: ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)
Install the app like the above user mentioned, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en

May be u have good clon,but nvm it just not easy FLASH and UPGRADE like original one..If u brick device and not have backup,you cant do nothing
Seems there no MM(marshamallow) for mt 6582(last is 5.1.1 i think,or 5.0.1).Clone is never locked network,so you dont need to worry about that.But it just not easy to find& flash recovery and ROM :/ It will work so much faster,but i dont recommend if u dont know what doing...You will probalby lost AirComand(but have solution for that)
And yea,CPU-Z need to show correct info about CPU and chip ,or just try to find some 3hrd app on play store to be sure it is MT 6582(hardwer info,CPU / RAM / DEVICE Identifier,samsung phone info etc)
If you decide to flash,just root and use MTK Tools for backup(it very important)

So CPU-Z says hardware is MT6582 and board is APQ 8084 but it also says Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 on the first Soc tab
Hardware info says the chipset is Qualcomm MSM 8974 and cpu hardware is APQ 8084
Genuine galaxy phone info says CPU hardware is Qualcomm MSM 8974 but no chipset information.
Which one is the right info haha!
I know what I'm doing as far as I won't do anything blindfolded. I don't know a lot about phones, I have more knowledge of computers but I figure there's a start for everything. Somehow this phone may be a blessing in that it'll make me learn about all this stuff. I'll just make sure to know which one is my actual hardware and which rom to take. I'm in no hurry, don't worry. I'll take the time to learn about every step. I know the risks.
I was also wondering which step can actually brick the phone? Is it the rooting access or the flashing of a new rom?
And should I bother with kernel versions?

Hmmm :/ try to delete and download again CPU Z,but i think it MT6582(or download antutu bench just for info)
No,with rooting process all is safe(not 100% safe but ),but flesing recovery is complicated,must 'port' recovery by ur self..When u have fleshed good recovery,u have done 80%job
Whatever,I warn you but if u really want,you can send me PM with ur nimber phone and I will contact on viber or wp...I can help you trough TeamViewr
