Of course it will work.
Just make sure you flash the right ROM for your device ( i9500/i9505/i9505GE )

yup a copy paste error, I9500 doesn't support open GL3 because its GPU doesn't.

2 more hours left lol
Does anybody know how to prevent the factory reset? Im not sure which one triggers it (I think the bootloader does). Im already on the older 4.4 leak so a complete wipe isnt necessary.

Looking at the op instructions it says tick delete data. Don't tick delete data perhaps

[APP] SAMSUNG Phone INFO

Hi guys,
I wrote this app to provide detailed information about our SAMSUNG phone, including:
SAMSUNG SPECIFIC INFO:
- Phone Colour (Samsung specific)
- Phone Manufacturing Date (Samsung specific)
- Knox Warranty Void (Samsung specific)
- CSC Product Code (Samsung specific)
- CSC Sales Code (Samsung specific)
- Country Region (Samsung specific)
- RIL Serial Number (Samsung specific)
- PDA Version (Samsung specific)
- CSC Version (Samsung specific)
- Changelist (Samsung specific)
... ...
Using this app you can know exactly what country your phone has been produced for. So you can choose the correct firmware to flash.
You can known your Bootloader version so you can decide what method use to root, whether the Knox will be tripped, which firmware version can be flash over...

Not exist means Samsung does not track for warranty bit on your phone, because it does not exist
Sorry for my poor english, it may make misunderstanding. Can you suggest me which phrase I have to use in this case? "Not exist" or "not found" or "warranty Void free" or something else?

I will replace it by "Bit not found".
Is this OK?

Some people might look at that as an error. If your wanting to make it short, and simple, just put none, or n/a.

Good stuff bro. Just added it to my thread

Yes but without Root the Most important thinks are not working ! I am waiting for that for LTE only Mode its a must have for me. Also Band Selection etc only works with Root
(LTE choosing different Frequencys)

New update (version 3.4.3) is available.
What's new: Fixed minor issue in the 'Firmware Browser' menu.
Enjoy.

Man, you're killing it with adverts.
Launching secret menu with root no longer works, just takes you to full screen ad one after another.
SM-G935W8 ?

Sorry for the inconvenience. On some firmwares it should work as expected but on other firmwares it doesn't. The launched secret code's screen just hide and you will see it after existing the app.

The amount of ads in your app is just disgusting, especially for an app with no worthwhile functionality. Everything you offer in this app is offered in other apps with less disgusting ad placement/shoving or no ads at all.
Instant uninstall.

Not really, it has some unique features that cannot be found in any other apps.

New update v3.4.4:
- Added Camera info (in the HARDWARE tab)
- Bug fixed for OTA Update checking (in the FIRMWARE tab)
Enjoy and please feedback.

New update version 3.4.5:
- Reduced number of full-screen ads.
- Fixed minor issue in the 'Firmware Browser' menu.
- Fixed some translations.
Please update and kindly feedback.

New update (version 3.4.6):
Fixed CPU Instruction Set (32/64-bit) info.

hmm... i guess there must of been another more recent update becuase I just install the app again
its seems to be correct now...

It seems the "original CSC" field doesn't stick. When I first got this phone, it showed the current and original CSC as XEF (France). While trying to determine which firmwares provides the best signal on T-Mo in the US, I flashed a couple German and a couple UK firmwares, and flashes the TMB CSC. I noticed the original CSC was blank, but then after flashing back to the stock XEF firmware, it showed the original CSC was BTU (UK). I flashed the firmware in ODIN, and even reflashed the XEF CSC through TWRP but it still wouldn't show the original CSC as XEF. After installing a custom ROM and flashing the TMB CSC again, now it shows thr original CSC as TMB. Is there anyway to determine which CSC was actually the original?
