Hope this will help.
Yes, "Phone Info" works - Because I also purchased phone from another country and I was not sure if it was refurbished or new one, but it was new one, I checked from the App, and it had a original Samsung Stock ROM. Then I installed new custom ROM (Root My phone) again check thru "Phone Info" app and it was giving the correct information. Custom ROM, New Phone, all correct information.
Hope this will work. Thanks!

No Problem, You are welcome!
What's wrong with a refurbshed phone? My Note 4 suffered from the very common emmc write failure which means the motherboard/internal memory is getting defect. Ramdom reboots all the time, error messages when booting amd so on more and more often. So I sent my phone to warramty service amd got a brand new main board and usb flex. Now my phone is as good as a brand new one(!) This memory issues are very common to the Note 4 and a weak spot of this phone. I rather buy a phone wich has this issue fixed instead of a phone that's been worn for 2 years and has this issues waiting to happen

some users report that it worked (i doubt since efs partition is not included in the firmware)
try it, nothing to lose.
I9500 sold in Qatar are coming from UAE (if not mistaken). to be sure connect to Kies and see what are the last (3 letters) under phone firmware. i think it is (XSG).

Hello there..
Long story short, I bought a Note 3 SM-9005 LTE version from eBay.
The seller said the following:
Before upgrading to Android L 5.0 (Leak) the phone was fine (fully working, SIM working, etc)
After upgrading to Android L 5.0 (Leak) the phone was still fine but.. the SIM card stopped working. Actually, it stopped completely recognizing SIM cards. Also the IMEI turned into null/null and baseband into unknown (something that he didn't tell me.. and of course I found out alone)
Facts: *#1234# = Everything except the modem. It only shows the rest 2 but not the modem.
Also when I saw that the IMEI is null/null I remembered that the IMEI is available behind the battery (there's a label) but guess what.. it was removed..
Conclusions:
A) The phone was stolen by someone (Only the phone came no S-pen, Box, Charger, etc)
B) He indeed messed up with his phone and something got destroyed/corrupted. I don't know.
So I am asking you what can I do right now.. I really need to find a fix otherwise I'm opening a dispute case so I can take my money back.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I've done this already.. just forgot to write it as tears were falling while I was posting.. (kidding)
Just forgot to write it. But yeah, still doesn't work. Currently It's at 4.4.2 KK.
I talked with Samsung as well just now. Tomorrow a representative will connect to my NOTE3 to see what's going on.
Until then, could you guys suggest me what to do? I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

I have this phone since last September and really regret that I bought it. Even though it looks like and feels like a normal 9505 or 9500 model, due to its specifications you can not use any custom rom of more common variants. (No Cyanogen, No Miui, No any other well known custom rom). Do not even try flashing 9505 or 9500 roms, I managed to soft brick my phone already with them.
There is almost zero support for this product in forums or if there is any it is in Korean language. The only custom rom I came across is TeamLeader rom, which is a cleaner stock rom practically, getting rid of Samsung's bloatware, but nothing special, same user experience.
IIRC the SHV-E300 is the Galaxy S4 LTE-A and more or less the same device as the ks01lte. So take a look in the i9506 section, there you will find some custom ROMs for your phone, some already LP-based.
I recommend arters 97's CM12, he is doing a great job on this phone.

don't install any custom rom for now if you want everything in working order.
and If u want to upgrade to lollipop, just download firmware of another s4 with same configuration from sammobile.com
I think yours is Korean and it will not get 5.0

First of all, lets get something straight. Most people use the term "bricked" improperly. A bricked phone means one thing: your phone won't turn on in any way, shape or form, and there's nothing you can do to fix it. It is, for all intents and purposes, as useful as a brick. A phone stuck in a boot loop is not bricked, nor is a phone that boots straight into recovery mode. These are things you can usually fix, and they're a lot more common than a truly bricked phone. If your phone is actually bricked, you won't be able to fix it yourself (but there are things you can do
If Your Phone Is Truly Bricked: Take It Into the Store and Play Dumb
If your phone is actually bricked—that is, it won't turn on at all, no matter how hard you try—it's time to give up and move on. The first thing you can do in this situation is try to take it back to your carrier's store and play dumb—just say something like "I don't know what happened, but my phone won't turn on anymore" (don't tell them you rooted it, obviously). Most carriers don't have time to deal with such issues and they'll just give you a new phone. Sure, it's a tad evil, but it should work most of the time

Hello guys,
im working for a german operator and we got the s8 and the s8+ ldu's
im wondering cause the normal s8 have no imei number on the backside of the device.
the s8+ got a IMEI number so it seems to have a gsm module inside.
i just flashed a stock s8+ rom but its not recognizing my simcard.
do i need to flash a new modem also?
any tips?
on the back it says LIVE DEMO NOT FOR SALE, but there's a IMEI number directly over it.

Hi there. I have an LDU of the regular S8. But mine cant even get into demo mode. It's recovery or Download mode only. What stock firmware did you flash to make it at least work?
My model # on the back is SM-G950XU
I've flashed like 6 different stock FW, it passes in odin and then as its loading up it stops, then says "erasing" and goes back to saying "Security error: an unauthorized firmware has been flashed and the device is locked"
same Issue 950XU

If you guys still have the phone. Do not flash a newer ROM! You will never be able to go back to bootloader rev 1.
Find the XU firmware online and flash that.
