[Q] Bit of direction please with s4 korean model

Hi,
If wrongly placed or question I am sorry!
So I got this phone the S4 clone and it works ok. I'm pleassantly suprised by it.
But if I would like to change the rom or firm Odin doesnt see it. I can enter *#1234# nothing happens. It says android 4.2.9 on the phone. Kernel 3.4.5-447903. I have this program called I9500 Quick Flasher and it sees it but i'm a bit scared to brick it. The bootrecovery is chinese and the up-home-power button menu is english.
Is there a way to get the phone to a other or original rom from samsung? Or anybody who could help me into the right direction?
Thanks,
Happybeat

Why would you want to get a clone? I doubt original rom will work, since the hardware might be different.

Flashing any ROM for an Official Samsung i9500 could brick your phone.
This is a completely different device the the Galaxy S4, it may look similar in appearance but that's where similarities end.

Ok thank you. The hardware is different. There is a MTK6589 processor in it but it says it's jellybean. But the android says it is 4.2.9 and that is something I don't know. The reason why I asked is because other phones like mine do connect with odin. I use MTKdroidtools and it sees my phone but not fimiliar with this program or if it is even safe. Still it does work in my country, the sim, programs like whatsapp, games, etc. but im someone who wants to know the inside.

The android version number 4.2.9 is probably fake. But the OS installed is still android. It'll be risky to flash S4 roms.

Bit more specs:

Hope this helps a bit more. Should have done that in my openingspost. Sorry about that.

Screen resolution stated seems wrong.
Android version seems wrong.
The rest still seems legit, not quite sure if there's anything different since I have i9505 version.
Edit: Are you sure this is korean S4? Isn't it chinese S4 or something? Based on the firmware version.

[Q] Bootlooping SM-N900- Unknown CSC - What next?

Hey All,
Trying to help a friend recover a bricked phone. He tried installing a ROM without taking a backup first and phone was stuck in a bootloop. Suggested he flash a stock ROM but he has no idea what CSC he should be using. We've tried installing a custom ROM but phone is still stuck in bootloop (even after factory reset / EFS clean etc) - suspecting he's got the wrong radio flashed so stock would be where I would normally go, but there's like a million variants on stock.
Any suggestions? Any way we can retrieve CSC once ROM has been overwritten?
Cheers
Owen

That's for ( N-9005 ) not N900 .. I suspect that's the initial mistake my friend made, flashing a ROM intended for a different device ... it went downhill from there

Tried a couple of them but suspect without knowing what CSC I need it will take some time to work through them all:
List is here:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N900
So far I've tried:
XFE-N900XXUCMK2-20131209123311 -> Stuck on Samsung logo
SER-N900XXUBMI5-20131001102120 -> Refuses to flash
DOR-N900UBUCMK1-20131220172802 -> Goes as far as showing an Orange logo, then sticks on Samsung logo
They take an age to download, so not getting anywhere quickly

Only ty stock mk2 or ml2 roms, all lower ones wont work
hit 'thanks' if i helped you

Have a look at the box, to see what country this phone was made for. Or look at the phone back (under the battery) to see where this phone has been made.

My phone's box has a label "Samsung Malaysia..." so basically I can know this phone was made for Malaysian region.
Try to look around your box?
Your phone cannot boot into the OS at all? If it can boot so you can install my app Phone INFO from Play Store to check for the region code.

Seems to me that your camera lens has some dust stuck in it, I had faced similar problems on my old Nokia. Try prying open the back cover then checking if the lens is clean. The flash becoming yellow isn't possible

I don't think this problem is software related, this is more hardware related. If all your efforts are failing then you'll have to show it in the service center, cause this is a rare problem

Nothing happens on its own. You must have flashed something wrong. Or you could've dropped your phone.
BTW, if you flash stock ROM with stock recovery, they are not gonna find it. And you can easily get your phone repaired.

Well, they would atleast give it a look. Maybe, find out that somebody has opened it earlier. But, give it a try. And btw, why don't you go to the guy who changed your display. Tell him, its his fault. Maybe its just a loose wire and he could fix it.
And download from here instead, if you haven't started yet.
