I can most likely help but I will need you to install antutu benchmark or another application that will tell you the hardware in phone. If it is a MT65xx processor then I know how you can root and Uninstall Chinese apps.
Hope this helps!

Looking at that info, it almost looks like you have a real Galaxy S4, you just have one with Chinese firmware on it. Does this info match your devices info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249916
Can you power off the phone and then press and hold Vol Down + Home + Power? Does this take you to a warning screen saying you are about to enter download mode? If so then you do indeed have the real deal, but I think it is a clone.
I see some info that looks funny though, it says your OS is built from the 4.0.3 SDK and you have an ICS kernel in there even though it says you are on 4.2.2, It also only shows you having 500MB of internal storage compared to the 9GB on my S4 if you cant get phone into download mode then I would suggest trying to run Motochopper or Root By Restore to get rooted.

Are you not able to go into Settings and change languages? I have bought a few clone phones directly from china and they usually came with english on them but when I reset them they would revert back to chinese and I would have to go into settings and change back to english. I can help guide you through the menus if your menu is in chinese.
As far as roms go, you would most likely either have to find someone with same device that ported a rom over or port it yourself if you know how. Only other option is if there is a forum that supports your specific device.
FYI - to help make looking for a rom a bit easier you have a MT6575 device

Uninstall SuperSU and superuser then try running Motochopper again. If it still don't work, try the chinese root program I linked above. If it fails to let you update su binary then it most likely failed to root your device. If the chinese root program don't work either I still know of another option since you have a MT6575 processor

Just updating thru Mobile Odin Pro, pressed the 'Flash' button, said yes to checking MD5, halfway thru that the screen went black and now wont turn on!
Has this happened to anyone else? Is this down to MOP or the phone?
Tried the charger, computer, nothing....
Anthing I can do with my multimeter to see if its getting power? I see some copper contacts under the back cover...

Assume you've pulled the battery? [EDIT] Checking the MD5 may have just crashed the phone out, similar to the way ODIN stutters when you load a file in[/EDIT] - if not try it and then try reach Download mode/Recovery.
For power, try a different usb cable.
Did you flash the wrong firmware? They is plenty version of Note 3.
oh boy, hope this isn't your only or main phone. Sucks to have this happen on holiday.

I dont think so. Maybe it was flashing and u didnt realize. The phone cannot dead just by checking MD5 sum.

3- what version of Mobile Odin Pro?
4- have u turned off reactivation lock?

1. MI6 I think. The very first one.
2. MK2 United Kingdom
3. 2.85 I think. The latest one.
4. Dont know.
5. Had wipe data and cache ticked in MOP
6. I loaded the md5 file then removed the kernel and recovery components.
That last bit, I dont understand what you're asking. My phone was about 75% thru checking MD5 and then it died.
Phone is booked in for repair. Just waiting for the envelope from Samsung to send it to them.
I had the same issue..I flashed very latest firmware it solved..mobile odin is very risky
Can't you get in download mode?

So after testing a few different cables etc, no joy? It would appear then that one of two things may have happened. You got yourself a hard brick #badtimes Or a hardware failure.. which is possible. Warranty ?

sounds like a bad flash, are you able to get into download mode? i would recommend if your able to get into download mode, you should download your firmware from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ make sure its your GT-I9100P model only, download odin and flash that zip you get from sammobile. make sure re-partition is unchecked, normally it is but be careful. if you get stuck please be sure to reply back.

Sammobile does have the firmware,i saw it myself, its a little tricky you have to go down about half way of the page to the checker and look through the long list of models, not entering your model number. from there choose your country, im guessing orange is Canada or the UK? France as-well has it.

cool hope all goes well! remember, its a simple and easy task, make sure you have samsung usb drivers installed, download odin (from that download page there should be a download for odin) plug in your device, when one of the little boxs towards the top right is green, hit pda and click start, make sure re-partition is not checked and wait about around 5-10min and your device should be back to samsungs stock 4.1.2 build for the device.

SM-G920F!
and i keep getting a security notice pop up, unauthorised actions have been detected
Try connecting the phone to your pc and see what happens. You can also download Samsung Smart Switch and go for "Device initialization", it will reformat your phone. If something's messed up, you won't be able to.
Also, you should check the download mode (turn off the phone, hold volume down+home+power button and release the power button but keep holding the other two when you notice any action). Look for a line with KNOX in it, it should say something like 0x0000,. Also there is a line which says whether your system is official or custom/modified.
Does it boot to download mode?
If yes, flash via opinion the latest firmware for g920f
If no, I have some bad news for you

I was not talking about updating, because you may very well be on the latest version. But there is an option to enter your model and S/N and it will completely reformat your device.

Usually a particular ROM says which model(s) is supported, and there are no "incorrect" ROMs as long as they are working. You could also try flashing the latest official firmware as mentioned above. But if you have the ability to return the phone and get a refund, it would be my choice.
P.S. Kies isn't compatible with the S6, they updated Kies to SmartSwitch for the newest models.

Heyho,
asking for a mate in family, no Samsung Owner, sry.
Which is the way to safely try to reset or flash the device in case of Samsung?
Would be glad about a source of firmware trusted and flash tool?
Should be odin, google says?
WHere from, and download firmware insaide odin then or where from to get legit stuff?
From what i heard hard reset button combination only result is a vibration, no screen, no sound.
So tomorrow i would like to check it on my own for download/flashmode whatever there might be available.
Device might have dropped before but no crakcs, no splashs, no spider, hoping for a bootloop?
Thankful for you guys here that lead me to needed stuff for flashing or maybe before recovery mode and clear cache whatever?

Is this the US Version or international? I can link you to the firmware and odin if you want to give it a try
International. 64gb. A32 5g. German Store bought
Thx
I think this is the firmware you need https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A326B/VD2 unless you have the SM-A326U and here is the Odin version I typically use https://samfw.com/blog/download-odin-all-version use the newest version and make sure you have the samsung usb driver installed first.
Once you have odin running follow these steps to access download mode
