How to find the model number on my note 3? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a note 3 and I'm trying to install the stock firmware on it. I found that Samsung has a section on their website where I can download the firmware, but they want me to name the specific model number of my phone. I know it's an n900, but the model number they want is more specific than that. Here's the link to the downloads page that I'm trying to use:
samsung.com/us/support/downloads
an example of the sort of model number they want is this: SM-N900AZKEATT, or SM-N900AZWEATT
Can anyone tell me where on my phone to look for that sort of model number? Thanks in advance. (If it helps, I originally bought the phone in Taiwan, from the carrier "FarEasTone".)

enter download mode (power + home + vol down) and you will see your exact model.

Unfortunately, I believe I installed custom recovery software at one point, and because of that my screen looks like this when I start up in download mode. Is there another way to find my exact model number?

What I'm trying to do is to revert my phone to stock everything. Stock android, stock recovery, stock firmware, unrooted. I'm not even sure if I ever installed custom firmware, but I want to reinstall the official release just in case. Do you have any idea what order these different steps should be performed in? If the first step is to reinstall the stock recovery software, that seems to solve my problem, because I can reinstall the stock recovery software, get the exact model number from it, and then reinstall the stock firmware. But if, for example, the steps need to be done in this order: unroot, stock firmware, stock recovery, stock OS, then I need to find a different way to get my phone's exact model number.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts that you ( or anyone else ) can share.

Use Phone Info app from play store .

As said boot to download mode you stopped half way through .

[Q] AT&T LG G2 D800 hard brick-please help

I have an AT&T D800, and my stupid ass flashed a D802 rom. Now I assume the build.prop in the phone is D802 instead of D800 and the LGFlashTools recognizes it as D802. There is no way to get it to go into recovery mode. I've seen a lot of posts about being stuck in fastboot mode, but I there's no way for my phone to get into that either. I assumed that if I could get it into fastboot mode, I can do something about the build.prop. I have seen some people who did this exact same mistake within threads, but there are no solution or follow up to the issue as far as I have seen. Is there just no where to get it back?
Thanks.

okay so it may not be as bad as you think as long as you can get into download mode(volume up and plug into pc) you can use a custom dll from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483043(go to downloads and get the dll(what it does is that it skips the model check so make sure you flash 10d, 10o, 10q or 20c for the d800)) you will be able to flash back to stock d800 firmware using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
p.s. I've read that the only easy way to get into fastboot mode is by flashing a corrupted kernel just to let you know

I had the same thing happen to me on a stock, un-rooted Note 3 - the GPS stopped functioning. I took it back and exchanged for an S5.
However, since you rooted and thus voided your warranty, you might have just dug your phone a nice cozy grave.
Did you ever get a solution to this? I have the same issue

It's unlikely to be a hardware failure. You probably just messed up the system files by changing so many ROMS.
Make a backup if you don't already have one
Do a system reset from the settings menu (note that this will delete your user files!)
Boot to recovery mode and choose wipe cache (recovery mode: remove battery for ten seconds, replace. then volume up + home + power)
Use Odin or Keyes to flash a full stock firmware image (replace system files)
More than likely this will fix your GPS
You will need to reinstall the ROM you ended up choosing, apps, etc

I have been trying this with mine today & no luck fixing my GPS.

Probably bricked galaxy y s5360

My galaxy y is bricked. There are alot of threads but i couldnt find one that really suits me. All the fixes require entering recovery or download mode. But my phone wont enter either.
I was using Hyperion 8. It stopped working after sometime. At first i could access recovery mode but couldnt clear dalvik cache. Now i cant access it altogether. Any chance of revival? I bought another phone. I am just trying to learn to fix a bricked phone, and maybe put it to some good use other than.....well a brick......

You can easily install stock rom of GT-S5360 via ODIN.
Hope it works.
How do i do that if i cant access download mode? I tried vol down+power+home but instead of download mode, the samsung logo comes up and then the phone does nothing
You cannot access download mode because your device has this combo disabled,
a download mode JIG (samsung has lot of JIGs and testpacks) cans make the phone access this special mode.
Even if the combo is disabled.

This sounds promising. I will definitely try it out. Thanks in advance.

Nooblet - Need help with my 1+2

Hi,
I bought my phone from Aliexpress. I am very happy with it, but I am facing some issues:
It was pre installed with some diffrent kinds of bloatware.
- Baidu Browser
- DU Battery Saver
- DU Speed Booster
And more see picture -

}
From time to time it tries to download some kinds of files. Seems to be Bloatware aswell. See picture -
In addition to this, the phone also fails to install update: OxygenOS 2.1.1.
I get a message after the reboot, that the install failed, click to reboot.
I've tried to follow this guide "youtube . com/watch?v=-IGDZxeFHAc" with out hope. Most likely something that I am doing wrong.
I have managed to:
Click the RunMe bat file
Install USB drivers
Unlock bootloader
When I try step 4 Flash TWRP Recovery I get to the following message: " Did you see the "okay", then congratulations you have flashed in the recovery "
I did not see the Okay message, and when I press THE any key to quit and boot to recovery, nothing happend its just stuck on Fastboot mode.
Please if anyone could help me I would be very greatful!
Kind regards ..

Download the latest stock firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...rs-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3209863/page9 and flash that using TWRP. Accessing TWRP after flashing it using fastboot is volume down and power. There flash the stock rom, and it should give you a fresh new OP2

Issues returning to stock

Howdy everyone...
OnePlus 7t Pro McLaren edition (International Edition **NOT T-MOBILE**)
Model: HD1913
Current Software Build: Oxygen OS 10.0.5.HD01AA (OTA update when I first unboxed).
I am having issues trying to return to stock. I rooted the phone with a combination of a couple guides found here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/7t-pro/how-to/10-0-3-patched-boot-image-oneplus-7t-pro-t3986351 and . I noticed after doing that I was missing the stock Oxygen apps and my build information was missing data. Not a huge deal, but I need to wipe the phone and start from scratch anyway, for other reasons. I decided to go back to stock if I have to redo everything anywhere.
First thing I tried, I got the stock firmwares (https://forum.xda-developers.com/7t-pro/how-to/oneplus-7t-pro-repo-oxygen-os-builds-t4003455). And this is where my issues started. My software build is weird... I have the HD1913, however my software build is HD01AA. Per that post, I should have HD01BA. I grabbed both of them for giggles, put them on my storage and booted into TWRP. Tried to flash the HD01AA (since that was what I have now), and it failed. Tried the other one, same issue. I'm getting a bunch of errors while trying to mount the system ("System unable to mount: invalid argument").
Second thing I tried, was to use the built in software update that OnePlus says to use (through the system update). It wouldn't install them (surprise).
Third attempt... Using the MsmDownloadTool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/7t-pro/how-to/op7tpro-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-t4002909) I downloaded both versions cause I don't know which to use, and followed the instructions to get the phone into the mode. Turn the phone off, hold the vol up button and plug the cable in (very simple). It shows up connected in the software. Exactly 5 seconds later, the phone reboots and boots normally... I repeat this process aprox. 2.3 million more times. It does not matter what USB-C cable I use, the port on my computer, or how long I hold the buttons. The phone will boot into the download mode (or whatever it's called) show up as connected in MsmDownload and then reboot.
The phone works. I am still able to boot it up.... All I want to do is get this phone back to stock. I don't HAVE to, but now that it's fighting me, I have to beat it...

Okay - After sacrificing an iPhone to the Android God, I got it.
Instead of using the button combination to get into EDL Mode, I found an article that gave an adb command (adb reboot edl) to get to it. It did not reboot this time, and I was able to flash HD01BA to it, which matches what the phone should have...
