I think something is not right about my phone. I got this this phone 3 days ago and was running lollipop 5.0.1.
I tried to root it with this guide here choosing method one, because in the about section of the settings, it said Galaxy s4 GT-i9500. After flashing the downloaded CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.tar.md5 with Odin and it failed, it could only boot into download mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select ..........blah blah blah".
After failing to unbrick the phone, I took it to a repair shop where they flashed a new stock rom. The model now says Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T in lollipop 5.0.1. It used to be GT-I9500 and to make it more confusing, the sticker at the back read Model: SM-i9500, SSN: -i9500GSMH. And if I boot into downooad mode, the below info is what comes up. How can I successfully root this device and de-bloat it without bricking my phone again? I didn't have to spend the extra money for flashing a new rom.
