GT-I9500 or I337 Uncertain :S

I downloaded the app Phone Info Samsung from the playstore and this was the information given:

Bootloader Version:

I337UCUEMK2

Baseband Version*:

I337UCUEMK2

However in the settings on the info where you have about device it says the baseband version is I9500XXUEMJ9

The app continues with this:

PDA Version:

I9500XXUEMJ9

CSC Version:

I9500XXUEMJ9

I would like to update my device to KitKat version 4.4.2 however I am unable to as I am not certain if my device is actually a I9500 or an I337. In about device it says it is a GT-I9500 but when booting into Odin mode it says I337. I am totally confused and not willing to brick my phone as I've only had it for two weeks. Did they put a AT&T Bootloader on my phone or what? Shouldn't the bootloader and the baseband version be the same? Help please would like to move up from 4.3. I am yet to still get an answer as to what is the problem. Of note as well the device has the Snapdragon 600 processor as oppose to the Octa core that the I9500 is supposed to have.

Do an antutu benchmark and it will tell you your processor type then you would know if it's a 9500 or 9505 and also download the snapdragon battery app from the play store. It only works with snapdragon phones so if yours is a 9500 it will or work. Hope either of those options help you.

If its a i9505 itll list 4 processors numbered 0 1 2 3

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojosilvera:
Well antutu benchmark says it is a Snapdragon 600 inside and the Snapdragon app does work. Question is, didn't Samsung release some I-9500 with the Snapdragon 600 processor as oppose to the Octacore? I really dunno why my device has the Snapdragon 600 inside and it is saying that it is a GT-I9500

---------- Post added at 02:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

IT does say that i have 4 processors. 0 1 2 3 :S I guess I did possibly purchase a refurbished device where they took parts from one device and use to repair another.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
My guess some one used DD command to write i9500 modem and CSC/PDA onto the device. And luckily somehow worked. They couldn't of done it with odin. Odin would of failed. Its defiantly not a refurb. Or least not a professionally done refurb or a refurb done by Samsung. They would of never done that.

Also they wouldn't of called it an i9500 if they used a Snapdragon 600. Would of called it an i9505 since that's exactly what an i9505 is. A i9500 with a snapdragon and 2gigs of ram oppose to an i9500 running an Exynos with a gig of ram.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojosilvera:
Well hmm I don't know what I'm to do, I guess I just have to stick with the phone as is. It does have all the Samsung features and I ran the Samsung fake test app and it says it is not a fake.

Installing Stock ROM to get more recent bootloader?

Hi,

I've been having trouble switching from CM11 to Prism's Barebones ROM: [ROM][4.4.2][XXUGNH4][3/9] Prism™ Barebone V10 | Stable | Clean | Fast | 477 Mb

When I flash the ROM I get stuck at the Samsung Boot Logo for the ROM.

The current details of my device/firmware etc are as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------

Device: GT-i9500

Recovery: Koush's Recovery: recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.2-i9500.img

ROM: CM11 i9500 Nightly from 20140824 (cm-11-20140824-NIGHTLY-i9500.zip from CyanogenMod Download Page)

Active CSC: XFV

Country of Origin: Vietnam

Bootloader Version: I9500XXUFNE7

Baseband Version: I9500XXUFNC1

---------------------------------------------------------

Is it possible that I need to flash a stock ROM via Odin in order to update the bootloader version?

Would it be appropriate to flash the most recent Russian ROM from samsung-updates.com?

Hi,

It appears that you have the I9505XXUFNB9 firmware.

Flashing a stock firmware will restore everything back to normal.

You can only flash an equivalent or later version of this.

I looked in the firmware thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265477

And there are a few available in there .

You could also google that firmware and see if there is a later version.

Read the thread carefully to see the process.

Tis is true. This is where I am currently. I'm running SlimKat 7.4

These are the symptoms: I did an upgrade to 7.8 and Lost GPS , WhatsApp said I had the incorrect time, and I could not connect to 4G.

These are the troubleshooting steps I have taken:

I pulled the battery and the sim card. Rebooted without the sim card and rebooted with the sim card. I reinstalled my apps manually. I toggled airplane mode. I made sure that LTE is the preferred network choice. It will not connect to 4G from a clean fresh install.

I downgraded to 7.4. WhatsApp and GPS works, but I can not connect to 4G.

I have not messed with the kernel or the bootloader or the modem. My phone is running whatever modem, kernel that comes with the rom.

Thanks in advance for any help. Its truly appreciated.

Roms dont contain modems.

Id start with checking your apns. Also check preferred network type under mobile networks. Make sure youre on a preferred network mode that includes lte.

Rooting and flashing ROMs have absolutely nothing to do with the unlocking of a device to use on another carrier. And really was a waste of time to do so because you're gonna have to go back to 100% stock to be able to access the menus to enter an unlock code in which you'll have to buy online or from your carrier. And depending on what device you own, since you didn't say, i9505s are already carrier unlocked. Which you'd have to do nothing.

Thanks for the suggestion. I can not open APN in my phone. I looked under settings/ wireless &networks/ more. There is no setting that will alow me to make any adjustments. I downloaded an app called Tweaker which granted me access to my APNs. Does the fact that I can not access my APN without a third party app indicate that something is wrong with the rom?

I selected LTE as the preferred network mode.

I added the following information that I found online and saved it.

Name: Verizon

APN: you can use either internet or vzwinternet

Proxy: <Leave in Blank>

Port: <Leave in Blank>

Username: <Leave in Blank>

Password: <Leave in Blank>

Server: <Leave in Blank>

MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

MMS proxy: <Leave in Blank>

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 012

Authentication type: <Leave in Blank>

APN type: internet + mms

4G still does not work. I also found these setting which are a lil different in that it requires you to input your user name as your mobilenumber [MENTION=536007]vzw3[/MENTION]G.com and set the password to vzw

I tried that airplane mode on and off, rebooted my phone several times and finally tried *228 to reactivate the phone to no avail.

Hi,

This screen on time looks quite low to me. Also it was kept a long time awaken. Can you please provide more info about your usage? Android stock battery stats also has some good information, you may think useful to check that.

Hi,

It's very likely the one whom you've bought the device changed the CSC and other settings to an I9500 one, but the device looks clearly a Snapdragon variant! I believe the battery backdoor was exchanged to appear as a GT-I9500 device, you can also be sure about it by checking IMEI, supposedly the device should have the same IMEI as the one behind your battery.

If the device is really a i337 as it looks like it is (bootloader + terminal info + Antutu info), then I think you can flash i337 related stuff without much issues, but I'd make sure it really is before. Like I already said, a good thing you can do is compare the IMEI. Because it's likely the chassis was replaced by a I9500 one.

This is the 3rd device I've seen that was bought online and had this weird setup. I think other users should be warned now about it, the best thing would be buying it on trusted sellers like Samsung itself and Amazon (my one is from Amazon).

Hi,

To update bootloader version you'll need to flash a stock ROM via Odin. Keep in mind that flashing a new stock ROM will bring you Knox, and as you're flashing a custom ROM I think it's something you don't want. Did you try flashing another zip file? If it's getting stuck maybe the zip can be corrupted, just an idea.

Hi,

I think that the modules you've loaded are causing some kind of incompatibility, can you try removing some of them? Maybe try one by one, I think one time it'll work again this way, after all you didn't do anything different to the device other than root and Xposed. If you're more extreme you can try removing the whole Xposed Framework.

If you want to skip the search step, I'll go by saying that your problem comes from the "status bar volume"

module, I think you should delete this one first to do an attempt.

Hi,

Did you install any Xposed module? It may cause this, like I mentioned in the answer above yours. Also, it may also be a CM bug, did you try a different version (latest Snapshot for example) or another ROM?

Hi,

Your problem seems quite peculiar. I'm going by ShinySide side and assuming that the APN in version 7.8 was messed up, I'm not sure if the internet info regarding APN will work on any device. As far as I know, at least here in Brazil, you either receive automatic APN settings update from the carrier or you call them and ask for the settings.

Please, try another ROM (stock would be a good try I think) and check if it is still happening, make sure the ROM you are haven't showed any issue with APN, so that we can be sure that the problem is really there.

Good luck!

Hi,

It looks like it lost its boot img, because this info comes when booting on Download mode.

The warranty part I can't tell for sure, AFAIK some countries do not mind Knox while some won't let you use warranty if Knox was tripped. And your was (0x1).

Can you try downloading and installing a recovery? With that you can try flashing a custom ROM. Or try reflashing the stock ROM via Odin... Not sure why it didn't work. Basically your issue is that your device erased its firmware for some reason and now is stuck in download mode.

This Galaxy S4 i9505 I bought is saying "not registered on network". It's a Telstra branded phone (Australia), but is unlocked (as far as I can tell). My IMEI is missing, or null. I've backed it up now in case.

Trying to install a different firmware on it, but not sure which ones I can use, safely. I plan on selling this handset, so want it to work "properly" for the next user.

I've rooted the phone, and I've flashed it with the original firmware using ODIN, but it didn't fix the problem. I've read that this can be caused by updating to Jellybean.

How do I update to KitKat? What firmware file do I use? If the PDA, Phone, and CSC don't match then the next user wont be able to update using OTA or Kies right?

I was reading this page;

http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-install-latest-official-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-s4-all-models/2/

but it didn't make sense to me. It says "Another way of finding out the appropriate firmware for your Galaxy S4 is matching the Country/Region code that is found in the CSC part of a firmware name after the device model name. Here is an example: I9500XXUAMDK_I9500ODDAMDK_INU.zip

DD = India"

But my current CSC doesn't show any listed country code...?? The country code in my S4 looks like "EN", but there's no country codes that start with E. :mad:
