hello i bought galaxy s4 via aliexpress i been told its i9500 but when i tried to update via kies or FOTA it saying that its the last firmware
can you tell me by this info how can i upgrade it to kitkat? and if not how to install custom roms?
It seems like someone did a Frankenstine Operation on the Phone.
Based on the Firmware on there, it appears like this is an International Galaxy S4. If so, please post in [HELP THREAD] Galaxy S4 | Ask any question | Noob friendly. so that we are sure that is the device.
Based on your other Screenshot, your Bootloader is that of AT&T Canada Bell Galaxy S4 North American Version. If so, please post in Stupid Questions Thread - No question too stupid!
It is very crucial to not flash the wrong firmware as that would certainly Brick your Phone for good.
Once correct variant is confirmed, you might be able to get the correct Stock Firmware for your device.
If I really REALLY have to guess, since Product and Device code can be manipulated in the Rom, I'd trust the Bootloader, more to identify what it really is. And in your case that points to AT&T S4.

s2 rooting
Hi all, Im totally newbie to this so I start reading a root guide here in order to do it on my phone. After reading I been able to find the firmware I should use but when go to my phone and look at the specs I find that some differ from the ones posted
My config is (by pressing *#1234#):
PDA: I9100XWKF3
PHONE: I9100XXFK1
CSC: I9100OJVKF1
I would like to now if I use the files (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) under the XWKF3 section it will work for me ?
I want that my phone had Spanish and English language (as now) and want to make sure it will, also would like to know if with the "FOP" file and the "XWKF3 Stock Kernel" it is enough in order to root it ?
Sorry for the long question and please if someone knows or have a similar config and was able to root the device let me know.
Thx in advance.

You can post your issue in the general S2 help thread.
It's created in the GT-I9100 forum, but help is provided for all S2 variants.
EDIT:
A friend of mine, @KJ, just wrote:
That's the Canadian version of the T-Mobile S2 t989...Hercules.
He'd be better served going to that forum I think. Its the same phone.
My guess is he probably would be better flashing the Telus firmware and checking APN settings. They're probably not there for telus, or wrong.
I can help him if he goes there....I have the t989d also.
So please check the device specific forum, as your issue may be a device specific one. And you could get better/quicker help there.

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 From At&t Its the I747U I believe. I have Hard Bricked My phone By Trying TO flash Android 4.3 Using Odin and it didn't work to hot.
My Phone originally Had android 4.1.1 before I tried Flashing to 4.3. My question is What De bricking File Should I use one for 4.3 or 4.1.1? or What Should I do? Since I'm a Big Noob Any help or links to the right file would be appreciated Thanks in Advance.
My Phone is a
Galaxy S3
SGH-i747 Says in the back But I'm in the US so i believe its the SGH-i747u too since i think its the same thing
its the 16 GB model if it even matters
Another question for the SD Card should i get a Speed 10 with 16GB or 32GB?
Hi,
Since you have more than one question and also, to be sure what to flash....you can ask for help in your device section...
> AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III > AT&T Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Be absolutely sure you are flashing the files made for your specific device.....otherwise you can permanently brick your device. I'm not sure there's a "u" in your device model just because you are in the United States. Better ask about that for sure.
Good luck!
Thread closed. Thank you.
Hi, I can't seem to find any root techniques for the Galaxy S4 SCH i545 white 16GB Verizon running android 4.4.2 Kit kat i believe. There was a root previously but it was F**ked up because samsung did an update to my phone without asking me. So i am in need of assistance.
Fast reply is appreciated 100%
i don't mind waiting a little if needed not in a hurry.
Hi,
I am not sure of the info in this thread will still work on your newer version, but you could ask for help here perhaps,

Hi,
New to the Forum but hoping that someone can help me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Active which I purchased off Amazon Unlocked. It is an At&t phone but I am using it in Canada on the Bell Network. I have been unable to get any updates and therefore am still running Kitcat 4.4.2.
I have downloaded the Bell Firmware but Keep Getting the Error Message "Secure Check Fail Aboot" Immediately after each attempt.
I have not been able to find an updated At&t firmware to load and as far as I can tell the Bell Marshmallow Update won't work because My Build version is G870AUCU1A..... Where as the Bell Build Version is G870WVLU1C.......
Is there a way to install this Bell Firmware on my phone ?
