i got the galaxy s5 , there's verizon written on the back but my sim card(which is not verizon sim) works fine. for which i assume its unlocked.
there's written model: smg900v on the back
but in settings it shows g900f, which one is it?

In the settings / about the phone the info is taken from the build.prop phone located in /system partition. So it tells you what firmware version you have in the phone but not necessarily what is the real phone model.
If your phone was not repaired (motherboard replaced) it would be easy - you should just follow what is written on the phone's label.
But currently you don't know what you really have inside - best is to ask service what they really put inside.
1. Verizon S5s are unlocked.
2. Odin mode always says the truth (photo 1).
3. How do you think which phone model I have (photo 2)?
i got it, it was g900v , when in odin mode it said g900v so i installed an odin update for g900f and odin rejected it , but when i installed using an update file for g900v i successfully updated to marshmallow and odin allowed it this time confirming its g900v ,and after update it said g900v in settings(Build.prop)
Same problem here g900f on g900v
Hello there.....I am quite having the same problem...did you manage to flash any custom rom meant for g900f not g900v

I have trouble instaling supersu on my device , I rooted my phone once using "Towelroot.apk" ,but after I reset my phone I tried the same application but it does'nt work this time
I tried hard to root the phone following the steps on this link [ http://forum.xda-developers.com
/showthread.php?t=2565758 ] , but still not rooted , I got Supersu installed but not working! .
I tried "Iroot.exe" , I got an application similar to supersu ( a chinese one ) but it doesn't function as supersu
I want to root my phone and install supersu and clockwork mode or update it through odin
Please help me on this , I am ready to provide any other details regarding the phone
Thank you in advance
Enter download mode. The model number listed there is the model number of your device. That will help us help you, but I suspect you have a frankenstein phone.

Install this APP and add some screenshots.
As suspected, this phone is a Frankenstein, meaning in your case an international ROM on an AT&T S4. Proper rooting procedures and other material for your device are here. Please note that your device is a US model and comes from a carrier that locks (i.e. encrypts) the bootloader on its devices. As a result there will be limits on what you can do with the device.
I'm tempted to trade devices as I have an I9505 here in the States, but I don't want the locked bootloader.

First: I understand from your reply that the possibility of installing Cyanogenmod or official Rom on my device is 0% :crying:
the link you sent me is about the AT&T S4 .
What if I try an AT&T Rom on my device, does that break it ? ,
second: The phone is made in Vietnam and whenever I reset it it starts with Chinese language thats why I thought it's chinese
Please see the other screenshots I attached you may find something
Thank you.
Your device IS an AT&T S4, so installing an AT&T ROM on the phone isn't going to break it. The link I provided is so that if you do wish to work with this beast you have the proper tools to do so, since none of the tools in this forum will be of any aid. However, I'm going to tell you to run, not walk, to the place you got this phone from and return it, because you will not have a good experience. The bootloader is encrypted, which makes rooting nearly impossible. If you live in a country with LTE, you may have reduced or non-existent LTE connectivity due to the LTE bands on the AT&T model S4 being different from those for the I9505.
Country of manufacture doesn't mean a thing. My I9505 was sold in England by O2, yet its country of manufacture is also Vietnam. As to the Chinese language being default, that's ridiculously simple to change in the firmware, so that doesn't mean much either. Your screenshots however, conclusively prove that I was totally correct, and this is an AT&T S4. An I9505 would have "jfltexx" as the device type, not "jflteatt".

1. IMEI is clean of one GT-I9505.
2. The device type is of one SGH-I337.
3. The Samsung Serial Number is CLEAN too.
4. You own a Franki. But looks more a GT-i9505 that one SGH-i337 (Take a look: HERE for remove carrier label).
5. COUNCIL: I will try to flash via ODIN this firmware for GT-i9505 if I was you. Do it by your own responsibility.

I can't return the phone back because I bought it 5 months ago :/ and from far place . and for the 4G we don't have this service ,so i can't confirm.
by the way , I rooted the device today with iroot and Replaced the Chinese iRoot superuser with SuperSu successfully (I found a tutori on youtube) ,but still I can't install clockworkmod , I will keep trying I may found a solution for that , if no I'll get rid of this phone -_- I may sell it to my brother since he doesn't care about the warranty or rooting stuff
anyway, for the mean time I will try the Rom sent to me by "Joku1981" and see .

Hello Joku
I tried with the firmware you sent me yesterday , can't be flashed . odin give me the same error
I tried with "mobile odin pro.apk" than after reboot a yellow triangle with exclamation mark appeared , see attached pic ,
can I reset the phone or it just gone no way to fix that ?
It's too far for that. You need to install AT&T firmware via Odin for the S4 to function at all, thanks to the bootloader. Hopefully the device was carrier unlocked before you bought it, otherwise you'll not be able to use the S4 without purchasing an unlock code.

Hi Strephon
I got rid of the yellow triangle by following this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUbciGy7kHc and now the phone stuck on "samsung custom"
after that I tried instaling the AT&T rom you sent me , and I got red writting I saw only when trying to instal AT&T firmware ( sv rev check fail : fused : 5, binary 1 ) , I think this is not the right ROM , I even tried the other rom for AT&T I found along with the ROM you sent me in "Sammobile.com"
I have friend who has a Box , we tried installing the rom with it , but still we can't
I think i have to find a ROM with (pda I9505ZHUEMK2 CSC I9500ZSUEMJ6) I tried few roms from here; ( http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9505/TGY/ ),but none of them worked ,
Q 1, How/where can I find rom with (pda I9505ZHUEMK2 CSC I9500ZSUEMJ6) ? Is it possible ?
Q 2 ,since I can access system recovery does that mean the original ROM still not wiped ?
Q 3 , what can I benefit from the the system recovery ?
see pics please
Thanks you.
You can't find a ROM with that PDA and CSC combination, as that combination is for two completely different devices, neither of which is your device. The only stock ROM that will install to an AT&T S4 is an AT&T ROM. No other ROM will work, and your attempts to install an incompatible ROM have, to the best of my knowledge, resulted in that indicator in your third picture.
Your ONLY means of restoring this phone to any kind of operating condition is to head over to the AT&T S4 forums and start reading. I will give you a hand though, and tell you that to eliminate the custom indicator in your third pic, you need to read through this thread on the AT&T S4 forums.
The amount of help any of us here can give you from this point on is going to be VERY limited, so head over to the AT&T S4 forums to ask your questions. The device owners in that section are far more familiar with the quirks of the AT&T S4 and will be more able to help you restore this device than we will.

Hello a friend of mine bought a SM-G900F phone in China. When I booted into download mode to download a new ROM, the screen displays "product name: SM-G900A". You can see screenshots on to the following address (I'm not authorized to insert links): goo.gl/photos/LVJXVdUwAiY6URkJA (open with https protocol)
In recovery mode, it displays:
Android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H.G900AUCU1ANCE
.../...
#MANUAL MODE #
-- Applaying Multi-CSC
Applied the CSC-code : CHN
successfully applied multi-CSC
I tried to flash the bootloader with TWRP and when I rebooted the phone in recovery mode, display the following message: "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help".
I tried to flash the phone with ODIN and an official ROM, but every time I got the following error message:
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth)
I tried in the end to flash the phone using an official ROM for ATT SG-900A. The operation is completed successfully with ODIN (no authorization failed) and the phone is again functional.
So how should I do to return to a ROM SG-900F?
i have exactly the same issue. the sticker at the back says "g900F" but i can only flash g900a firmwares! Please help!
AT&T supply phones with locked bootloaders.......you're not going to be able to flash anything except AT&T firmwares (according to what I've read here on XDA)

I have no idea.......but at the end of the day, a sticker is just a sticker........
Download CPU-Z from the playstore and run it.....it'll tell you with way more accuracy than a sticker exactly which model you have......
Sent from my rooted, debloated stocKK kn0x0 SM-G900F
Well, it says G900A in CPU Z. But it's strange, right? I mean, why would they put a G900F Sticker on a G900A Device? Does anyone have an idea how i can get rid of the AT&T Bootloader? Before i tried to flash Android 5.0, i had a non-AT&T Firmware on my Device. help!
The way I understand it is that the bootloader is a 'partition' on the devices memory. With AT&T, this partition is 'locked' or write protected.....In effect, it becomes 'read only'.......I don't *think* that anybody has found a way to overcome or get around this 'protection'.....
Now this is where my definitive answers stop......i've never owned a device with a locked bootloader so I just don't know......
.......but.......
From what I've read (if I understand correctly) irrespective of what software was on the device before, it's now running AT&T software with a locked bootloader.....this locked bootloader can't be overwritten, so I *think* from now on, the only software that will successfully flash on your device is AT&T software....... (please somebody step in and correct me if I'm wrong).....

Boot into download mode, if it says G900A in there, it's a G900A
If it was sold to you as a G900F you've been stung, end of story
Stickers and firmware model numbers can be changed, download mode can not

No need to be a douche.
You were sold a 900A stickered as a 900F obviously to decieve the buyer.
hey buddy.
i have the same problem.
it's a little different from yours.
i've just bought a samsung S5 G900f as the phone info says and the sticker as well.
my phone is running kitkat 4.4.2
and can't get any update via software update.
for the record, the phone shows the AT&T software update which means i need an AT&T SIM card to get an update.
i'm frm morocco and if its An AT&T version of s5 , that means it was unlocked.
when i go to bootloader it says G900A....
as well as the download mode says it's a G900A
i took my EMEI and put it in emei.info website they said it is a G900f.
i installed an app from play store called phone info.
it says that my phone has A G900A bootloader , A G900A baseband version , an AT&T finger print build , and an AT&T original CsC code and an AT&T firmware's CsC code and states that the Csc country is Usa and the hardware revision is G900A.00
but on the other hand it says that my build number is G900FZHU1AND1.
please, anyone here can help me out with this.
what phone model do i have ?
what firmware should i flash via odin ? the G900f or G900A one?
will flashing An AT&T firmware lock my device network again if it was obviosly unlocked?
So yesterday, i bought my secondhand galaxy s5 on my local store, the store didn't give me the box or any document about it. so i tried to figure out if this one isn't a fake one. the label behind the battery told me that this is a g900f variant, still being curious i check the imei on imei.info and it says that this is an original g900f (i also checked the phone build on the setting menu it also said this is a proper g900f), but long story short i found out that my phone is already rooted by the previous owner, so i tried to unroot it, but when i do it the phone stuck in the bootloop, so i downloaded odin, usb driver, and a new stock rom for the g900f on my laptop, i get the phone to the download mode (odin mode? i dunno what is it called) and it said my device is a g900v variant, and when i tried to flash the g900f stock rom i always failed. now i'm confused wheter if my s5 indeed is a real g900f or a g900v. what should i do now? do i have to download a g900v stock rom, or try another g900f stock rom?
Maybe you downloaded g900v rom so that is why this version is stated in Odin.

If i remember type in the dialer *#1234#.Check correct model and csc code and then you can download from Sammobile correct firmware.cheers
Check what it says at the top of the screen when the phone is in download mode, that is the only info you can 100% trust
I bought a second hand note 4 which came from abroad... dont know where but the device shows Sprint . The device shows SM N910F in 'about device'. How ever entering recovery the device info shown is SM N910P. I wanted to check for updates but doesnt work. Later i found the IMEI no. is fake ( shows a galaxy tab in imei info). Kies doesnt connect. 'dm- verity verification failed' in recovery mode. The phone is working properly but want to install complete stock. Have downloaded UK based firmware 6.1. via odin but doesnt install. 'About device' shows ' N910FVPU4COG5' (with FVPU) , the nearest i could find on sammobile is N910PVPU4COG5 ( PVPU which shows CDMA)
Please help me get into complete stock with proper IMEI. I dont even know where to start.
I'd recommend getting a refund if you can as there is a high probablity the device you've purchased has been stolen.
Thank you so much for your response. But refund now is not an option now, as I bought second hand from a friend who came from abroad. I need to find a way to repair it myself. Any ideas?

If you take off the battery, the label underneath should have the original IMEI? Is that there? Then you could put that back using the engineering menu.
See if you have the original label under battery.
the label also has fake imei. its the same number that appears in the device.
I checked few sites. What I think is someone is masking SM N910P with SM N910F ( read somewhere F is better than P and is easier to sell). I think my device has gone through same. I tried installing SM N910F original stock but the device didnt accept. I have downloaded SM N910P also but too scared to try as I have come to know that SM N910P is a CDMA. Any suggestions?
There are apps in the Play Store that do imei changing. Read those app descriptions and do some research. DO NOT PAY ANYONE YET TO DO ANYTHING. I am also looking, so i can get back to you what i find. So for it looks that imei changing can be done easily for free. But you just need to know a proper imei - this is the hard part.
Do you think you can peel of the label to see if another is under there? That may have the true imei.....

Looking at your previous posts it looks like you definitrly have a CDMA device, and from Sprint. This is being faked as n910f, which is an international version BUT GSM. The other possibility is described below...
In Verizon note 4, which is CDMA, there are two sim slots. This is required now by law. One is CDMA and other slot is GSM or actually meant for sim when abroad I think Sprint also is the same. I have Vefizon. Verizon phones are also facgory unlocked. If you are using GSM maybe try switching sim slots. In this case yiur phone has been flashed with international version firmware so it can be recognised on gsm networks. If you have a GSM sim try both sim slots.
EDIT: I checked this and I think Slrint does not have two sims.
Go to this site and post the problem. You will def grt an answer

You are not alone, I got that kind of device too, with same build number as yours. My goal is to put a sprint custom rom and I use miui, but as soon as I install twrp the device got bootloop, I back-up the rom and install miui, now it works perfect, even 99000 imei (maybe the original imei) appears.

Gents, have you tried this - Phone INFO ★Samsung★ from gplay? It's telling what you have in your hands. After that you can check IMEI changing and other things.
I recently bought a used Note 4.
Now when I started using it, I observed something strange on it.
First when i connected it to my laptop for some data transfer i saw a new drive letter popup with Verizon mentioned on it and it automatically installed Verizon's software on my laptop.
Secondly, when I reboot the phone in boot-loader mode to check if the phone is rooted or not, i get the Mobile Model to be SM-N910V whereas when i checked on the back of the phone (under the battery) it is mentioned as SM-N910F; even when i checked Mobile Status under Settings it also shows SM-N910F.
Now i installed Phone Info Samsung from Play Store and it is also saying the Phone Model is SM-N910F whereas in Device Type it is mentioned as trltevzw (i believe this is the model for Verizon based phones). - snapshot attached
Now I am quite confused if I have an international version of Note 4 or Verizon based version.
Also one more thing... Root Checker says my phone is rooted but when i install SUPERSU; i can't update the libraries since it needs TWRP or CWM recovery to update the library (which is not available as my recovery shows stock recovery).
Any help in this regards will be highly helpful.
Thanks!
I'd take your device back to the retailer and get a refund. As there is something fishy about it!

Dear thanks for your reply but sending it back to retailer is not possible.
So any technical help would be much appreciated. .

Ok just an update...
First i tried installing official ROM (5.0.1) for SM-N910F from SAMMOBILE using ODIN but that failed giving some error.
Next I tried installing Official ROM (5.0.1) for SM-N910V using ODIN and it passed successfully.
Now Phone Info and About Status details match - Phone Model is SM-N910V and Device Type is trltevzw
but while doing this I have lost root access (which was already sort of useless because recovery was stock one)
However now Phone model and Device type part matches up.
Now IMEI on the phone and Phone Info are not matching... Anyone has any info on how to work around that?

Now IMEI on the phone and Phone Info are not matching... Anyone has any info on how to work around that?

i bought note 4 the same happen to me ,, in download mode showing me SM-N910P , software (about device showing SM-910F)
Under the battery SM-910F
downloaded the official ROM (5.0.1) for SM-N910F from SAMMOBILE ended with fail
next tried Official ROM (5.0.1) for SM-N910P using ODIN and it passed successfully
********* summary*********
this phone called batched or patched idk exactly, that mean its American version (AT&T Or T-mobile or verizon or Sprint ) but some companies (chines ppl) can change the phone number model to make it like International version 910C or 910F
in the end i return it back and got my original SM-910C
if u can send it back or live with it ,, sorry to say u got cheated
sorry for my bad english
