Can somebody clear up the model SGS4 numbers we see being mentioned in various threads?
I see i9505 and i9500 and I assume that is the U.S. and non-U.S. versions, or Exynos 8-core and Qualcomm 4-core models, respectively.
I am also seeing model numbers such as SGH-M919, which is my U.S. T-Mobile SG4 (16GB, black) model number.
So, I am assuming that last model number I mentioned is a variant of the i9505, but I don't see that model number anywhere in my documentation.
Can some folks post their model numbers along with the phone carrier, size and color? maybe we can get a clearer picture of what these model numbers and model variants are.
Thanks!
Galaxy S4 I9500 (8-core) (Exynos octa version)
Galaxy S4 Duos I9502
Galaxy S4 I9505 (LTE) (Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 version)
Has anyone tried this method on I9505 MDM firmware? This is supposed to be un-rootable
EDIT::: OOOPS wrong thread

Okay, answering some of my own questions here. Here is a wiki showing the different model numbers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4#Model_variants
I9505 is an International model number for LTE versions with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor
The following are U.S. models that are basically the I9505 with differences in software (ROM and enabled radios)
AT&T SGH-I337
T-Mobile SGH-M919
Verizon SCH-I545
Sprint SPH-L720
Some of these may be bootloader locked, so I guess that is important to know if looking to root. Most rooting info I have seen talks only about the I9505 or I9500 international model numbers.
Maybe someone could explain the MDE, MDN, and MDM variants of the I9505 model number?

Atrix 4g rooted w/ epinter cm10.1
Samsung galaxy s4 (MDM) rooted w/ official status.
==================================
I put my comment in the wrong thread LOL but what I mean is the MDM kernel ... I have MDM firmware but my kernel date is April 12 which is not MDM. The date of the MDM firmware + Kernel... should say 25/26th April...

Hi,
Mine is: SPH-L720
WHITE, 16gb
SPRINT, Los Angeles
send from my newly purchased & rooted SGS4 using xda developers app
USCC is SCH-R970.
Sent via SCH-I925U Note 10.1 LTE
Korean versions are SHV-E300K, SHV-E300L and SHV-E300S for KT, LG and SK telcos respectively
So is it alright to use mods/roms as long as it is for the same cpu model?

If you have access and can buy 9500 and 9505 at the same price which would you get?
Which one is better between the two to get for the long run?
This is a noob question but so on:
What is the difference between i9505 and i9506, and i can install official firmware from i9505? on mobile phone box writes i9505/i9506.
Hi all,
I've been offered a Galaxy s4 albeit an Sc-04e (DoCoMo variant) at an attractive price. But I'm in two minds on whether to go through with the deal as I've been unable to find many custom roms for this model. Elsewhere I read that the hardware is more or less same as the I9505 version.
Do you think that we can flash any i9505 custom rom to the SC-04e hardware?
The ROM is basically meant for Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505. I tried looking up custom ROMS for I9506 but unfortunately I was out of luck. So could someone tell me if it possible to install the ROM meant for I9505 in I9506 without damaging/bricking the device?
As per my knowledge there's barely any different between the two devices (i.e. 19505 & I9506).
Awaiting suggestions.
Thankyou!
I am not sure if the sgh-i337m phone is compatible with the lineageos build (GT-I9506), does anyone know? Does lineageos only support one model of the s4 and not any other?
Flash twrp for the i9505 and use it to flash roms for the 9505.
9505? What about 9506? http://wiki.lineageos.org/ks01lte_info.html
I'm not sure 9506 is compatible with the i337m. The phones use different processors.
Always go with the 9505
