I recently bought the Unlocked Galaxy note 1 from eBay(India). It has conflicting device numbers written on back of the device and one on the "About Phone" menu. On back of the device its written as n7000 and "About Phone" menu shows it as "SHV-e160K", I need some help in identifying whether the device is fake? (From build of the device it looks genuine Samsung ),
This phone also has some other issues as below
1. It does not display the the career range although I was able to register to local Vodafone network and I am able to have incoming and outgoing calls. Also 3G works pretty well.
2. About phone menu sows Baseband version :-Unknown
3. NFC unable to detect the NFC tags
4. Samsung kies software not able to detect the device
5. Many Samsung softwares installed on the device fail to update saying software not signed by Samsung
I have replacement of the phone in transit, Once I receive the new device, are there any steps which can help me confirm genuineness of the device ?
Also is there any way to confirm if 4G works ,without having to insert 4G sim card?
You are the owner of a korean versison of the Samsung Galaxy Note now. Different hardware. No own forum here. Search for "e160K" and you'll find a lot of threads related to "SHV or SHE e160K".
What does it say unknown base-band version

Thanks, I had misspelled the number,
How can I know if this is really SHV-e160K instead of n7000, because back of the phone shows number as n7000, When I search with IMEI number on google , it shows device number as n7000 although phone info shows 1.5GHz processor(which is specific to SHV). Does this device carry IMEI number registered against n7000?

Use quadrant standard app to check the cpu info. If it's a qualcomm based cpu then it's a Korean note. If the back cover has n7000, then it could be possible that the motherboard inside might have changed.
GPU is Qualcomm

As I checked using quandrant standard app, it shows details as below
GPU [Screenshot attached GPU.jpg]
Vendor: Qualcomm
Renderer Adreno(TM) 220
Vresion: OpenGL ES 2.0
CPU [Screenshot attached CPU.jpg]
Name: Armv7 Processor rev2(v7l)
Current Freq: 1512MHz
Max frex: 1512Mhz
Min Freq: 192 MHz
Cores : 2
Architecture: 7
BogoMIPs:13.54
Hardware: QCT MSM8X60 FUSION FFA
Revision: 2
GPU looks inline with the Qualcomm processor, I am not sure about CPU version as Samsung website do not mention the version of CPU for SHV-e160K.
Maybe its the false label behind the device, but it looks suspicious..?

I know there is a phone in here somewhere.
Just got a refurb SGH-I957 for ATT. In looking though the settings I found a mention of a phone when I put my SIM card in from my Tab 7
the code after the model number is UCKJ7 which I believe refers to the modem/radio. I suspect that once I have unlocked and rooted this tablet I can change the modem and perhaps find the pony (phone). I've also read that once rooted I can find a file that locks the phone per ATT and that that file has a check box that can be changed to allow the phone to be displayed.
It makes no sense to me that Samsung would create a number of different hardware versions for the same product and that the various software features are enabled or disabled according to the carriers wishes. What difference does it make to ATT whether my device has a phone or not except they can charge more for certain features.
Anybody know which files are used by the phone or how to go about enabling the phone software

I bought a second hand Galaxy note in Asia.
In Android settings it said GT-N7000 In the boot splash screen it says "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000"
However, I just wiped the system partition and tried to install a ROM for GT-N7000, and it says incompatible product,
because this product is in fact a SGH-i717, which is the US AT&T version of the phone.
However, I checked online and the SGH-i717 has a completely different key layout at the bottom, which my doesn't have. It also does not have the AT&T logo.
So what could be causing this ? It does look like my phone has been repaired, is this a replacement part causing it or some info stored on a partition other then system ?
Can I change the version number stored wherever it is ?
Thanks a lot
Monday I updated the FW of my US unlocked Note 8 (N950U1 / SD-version) with N950U1UEU5CRG6.
After the update I noticed that in Settings - About Phone, My Phone Number is listed as UNKNOWN. I am using the phone in The Netherlands with provider Hollandsnieuwe (=Vodafone). I am certain that the actual phone number was correctly displayed prior to the FW update.
Not sure if related, but Find My Phone/Device does no longer work via Samsung or Google. Is does work through Bitdefender Anti Theft...
Anyone has this or other issue after the update? Thoughts?

Hi, on my 2 Note8 dual sim, it is said : phone number⇒ unknown. And this from the beginning (on every firmwares). I'm in france using two french sim cards in the phone and i bought my phones on samsung shop. Until now, no problem, everything works great.
My branded, but unlocked 950F, as I paid for it the full price to use it as a prepaid phone displays the same, unknown number, since day one, I bought it directly from the major carrier in Mexico which is Telcel, everything works fine, all services and VoLTE
You mean like this seeing on my screenshot? This number is only visible if it's saved into your SIM card. Since a while, the carriers/operators don't write longer the numbers into the SIM card
So if you don't see it now, you never saw it before!
But there was an xposed module (if I remember right on android 4.4.2) where you can change this (showing) number.
(It don't changed your registered phone number!)
At that time I had found that thread
https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?ur...share_tid=2106490&share_fid=3793&share_type=t
That should be the correct GitHub link:
https://github.com/OXINARF/SIMNumberChanger
But it looks like there is a newer xposed module called SIMEditor - maybe that still works (when your device is rooted and xpised installed)
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.gnufabio.simeditor

Sorry for German language. The first line: Eigene Telefonnummer means "own phone number"
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts
I've never had my phone number displayed in the information menu. As far back as the Note 3, no matter what firmware, official or custom, or even other phones. I live in South Africa. After reading @Logel's explanation, it now makes sense to me why it never showed to me, because of the way South African carriers assign numbers to customers.

I know it's not the exact same model, but my N950F/DS shows my phone number there like normal. Not sure why it's not showing in your case though.
Hey guys,
my neigbor has a A600FN model with a "locked" dual sim tray. It has a bar right there where the second sim would go (see here). I´ve checked and the phone has the hardware needed to be able to use the second sim (there are pins). Does someone has tried to use the DS tray in a non-DS model and got the second sim working?
Hi there.
I have SM-A600FN Duos, form a polish carrier. It would seem unlikely that your neighbor's model would support Dual SIM capabilities. If it has two IMEI numbers listed in settings/on packaging/on sticker that was stuck on the casing, then it would be Dual SIM/Duos.
If not I think, that the only way to trigger that capability is to physically open the phone, find some clues if motherboard of that phone has some evident model selection circuitry like some 0Ohm resistors or something. Mine LG K430DSE had those (like you could set it as DS/F/T/TV etc; just by bridging correct SMD pads).
Then, and only when you would do that, wich is kinda unlikely, then you'd need to flash correct firmware via ODIN, and there would not be any guarantee, that the second SIM slot would work at all. It probably wouldn't work, because it wouldn't have any IMEI number registered to it I think.
That's all that I know. If I'm incorrect, then I'm sorry, prove me right.

a.f.a.i.k even flashing "the correct" firmware (for duos) will not working. need some modification in efs etc. etc. there's guide for converting to duos in S7 edge thread. search in s7 edge thread..
It has the neccesary hardware (probably) but you need a second IMEI and it's not easy to make it
I have been playing Black Desert Mobile when I noticed I cannot max graphics even though the game supports ROG 2. My Tencent was flashed to WW rom and I saw the model is shown as ASUS_I001DE. When I checked the ROG 2 elite phones in the shop they show as ASUS_I001DC.
Does anyone know how to change this? I already looked in build.prop and the vendor.model is listed a s ASUS_I001D only. It is pulling the last letter from somewhere. I can only surmise from this that 8GB models are DE while 12GB models are DC. Anyone manage to change this?
Did you manage to find a solution for this?
Concerned too. Please update info if you find a solution for that. thanks
The model number is set based on what the property ro.boot.id.prj is set to. That, in turn, is set from androidboot.id.prj which is passed from the bootloader to the kernel - and that's read from a gpio pin on the device itself, so unfortunately there's probably no way of changing it on the device-level.
If you're rooted you can override the ro.boot.id.prj propety in magisk and set it to 2, that will change the model number to I001DC. Other than that I don't believe there's any way of changing it.
