Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 Original
I am having the problem of not seeing the option in Network menu to enable 4G/LTE. I am running 4.3 right now. Our service provider Ooredoo in this country (Maldives) has released 4G and several others with the same model phone as mine can switch to 4G. I was wondering if there is any fix for this. I did hear about rooting the phone and deleting a file to fix this problem. I can't find out which file. and I have already downloaded a 4.3 firmware that said would fix the problem and flashed it. But there is no change.
And I am looking for the 4.4 Official Firmware for Galaxy S4 I9505 which can be used in my country.. Maldives.
And also is it possible to Downgrade the phone back to 4.3 after I flash 4.4?? From what I know so far it isnt.
I will post more information about the phone soon. Don't have it atm.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Alright so I was directed to a firmware on Sammobile
/firmwares/3/?download=27582
Model: GT-I9505
Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE
Country: Unknown
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 481100
Build date: Wed, 19 Mar 2014 10:39:06 +0000
Product Code: OMD
PDA: I9505XXUFNC9
CSC: I9505OMDFNC1
MODEM: I9505XXUFNC9
Does the country being Unknown have any effect on the firmware? The I9505XXUFNC9 firmware is said to be the international one but there is one on Sammobile that has country/carrier of Russia.
Thanks.
A friend of mine bought a used Samsung Galaxy S4. She called me saying to look at her phone because it's acting strange (random reboots, camera crashing). Upon looking at the phone, I saw that it was running Cyanogenmod. She'd like the "normal" samsung rom instead, as she is a previous Galaxy S2 owner.
I checked the "About this phone" information, and this is what I found:
Model number: GT-9505G
Android version: 5.0.1.
Smallband version: I9505XXUGNG8
Kernel version: 3.4.0.-2809293 [email protected]#1
Build number: LRX22C
So I thought this would be a Galaxy S4 GPE. I downloaded the I9505GUEEDNL3_FULL and tried flashing it with ODIN. It kept giving me errors.
I started doubting what model this was. After checking behind the battery, this the information I found:
Model: GT I9505
SSN: -9505 GSMH
S/N: RF1D47XA37R
So, what model is this? The I9505 or the I9505G, and what would be the best method to flash a stock firmware/rom on this, and which one would I need?
Edit; after doing some searching, I think i've found what rom is currently running on the phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353
Boot into download mode. There you can find your model.
It's probably a GT-I9505 running a GPE rom. The GPE rom sets the device code to GT-I9505G. And that's how apps will see it. That's also why it shows GT-I9505G in "About" menu.
Hello guys, i recently bought S5 G900f with box/booklets etc all has written G900f and even G900f is written near battery, but in bootloader and baseband, the version is showing g900t, so please tell me how do i flash g900f firmware? Because i think g900f firmware will not accepted by current bootloader and modem from g900t. Strange thing is this device is indeed g900f with imei matched box of g900f. So will flashing of g900f firmware result in permanent hard brick? And will it be accepted by odin? Please help me resolve.
Probably you bought a refurbished one.This happens all the time .Put the imei on imei..info and check your real model number.

Oh dear sorry to hear that you have been cheated. N910v is verizon note 4 and the 1 you have is spoofed n910f its very easy to spoof from build.prop in system and by z3x box.the download mode is correct model shows there of motherboard.
You cannot flash n910f firmware on n910v model it will fail in odin you have to download n910v firmware from www.sammobiles.com/firmwares
But i suggest is your current n910f firmware is running fine then dont flash n910v firmware cuz your phone will filled with verizon bloatware apps.and your phone will run very slow and laggy.
Or much better if you return this phone to guy and exchange with another one shows in download mode n910f or n910c international model

thank you for explanation..
I understand
but I want an official firmware and I want the android 6, so I will try to flash with a N910V version and will see
Q: if I use a verizon firmware, do I have problem with cellular service (sim card)! if the firmware is from USA and I'm in Algeria?
No you will not going to have any cellular issues cuz verizon models are global gsm sim unlocked but you will be able to use 3g hspa+ data only the 4g lte will not work.and also you have to make apn settings manually to get data work.

does this firmware worked with u?
I have a similar problem with my N910F which registers as N910V in recovery and download mode.
I tried playing around installing a new firmware from Dr Ketan Rom and although it installed fine, I can't get the phone to recognize my sim card (Ghana). It says 'no service' and/or 'no sim card.'
Now I tried flashing with N910V stock firmware and I get stuck in a bootloop.
I also realised that the IMEI of the phone is fake and an IMEI check says it is a Samsung windows 7 phone.
Any help?

Try flashing the 910V modem immediately after Dr Ketan's ROM, then reboot. If that fails do the same using the Verizon's firmware. And as it was mentioned above you will be limited to 3g + speeds.

Your phone is refurbished N910V verizon note 4 and fake N910F software And fake sticker at back side of battery.
If you want upgrade to 6.0.1 you have to download N910V firmware from sammobiles.com thats your orignal motherboard model.
but keep in mind you will lose 4G/hotspot/ and much more stuff if you upgrade.i suggest you return this spofffed note 4 and get another new device and if you cant return use at it is on 5.0.1 lollipop dont upgrade.

Today is your lucky day my friend, and here is a solution to your problem
I had the exact same issue and i was just about giving up after three days of hard continues tries and I thought about reselling my phone, but i decided to try just just the three last firmware i was downloading, and as soon as the first one downloaded I tried and voala, it flashed
but unfortunately XDA-developers have not allowed me to paste the like for you to just click and download it so just send me a DM on Instagram @Sammy.zent so i can give you the link.
I bought a Korean galaxy s8 with a UAE firmware. Download mode is showing SM-G950N while the firmware in the about section is SM-G950FD. Is there a way I can switch completely to the global firmware? Need help urgently, my phone heats up easily and software update is missing in settings.
