[Q] Is the CSC related to network lock?

Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 LTE, which I suppose is unlocked, as if I enter the service mode,at the network lock it says sha256_enable_flag 0. So, according to kies, I need the TMH based firmware, which is on T-Mobile. But I am on Vodafone, so I would need the VDH or XEH (Hungary). If I flash back the TMH csc based firmware, will I lose my unlock? Or if I flash back the vodafone based, will I still get ota updates?
Thanks for anyone who is willing to help!

Can't be totally sure. But I did re flash a different CSC and my phone got blocked. Had to go back to original CSC

yeah, but you can change to the new csc if you do a factory reset in the recovery. So, according to you, if i flash back the original csc, I will keep my unlock? By the way, it was a hungarian based csc and now i have a german based.

Yes, I have CSC from TTT and I flashed one from Uruguay that even came branded. Do it with Odin, no need for factory reset. The data does not gets deleted. Just backup in case

Mine says it does not matter. But go ahead and try your method. It should work as well

well, hope i'll keep my unlock...

CSC is only for customization. There is no unlock or lock key inside.

thank you!
and what about the new knox feature?

Knox has nothing to do with network lock.

Thanks all!

Odin to get back to stock?

I am on NAE baseband and the stock posted here and also the Sac's rom has too many issues to apply fix manually. I am giving my S4 to my wife and wanted to go back to full stock (with root) if possible. Is there an Odin package available? I have tried to search but couldn't find anything. Can someone please point me to right link? Thanks in advance for any help.

For what country? It doesn't exist for Turkey. The I9500UBUAMDK is for South America. You can find it anyway: HERE

When I searched "I9500UBUAMDK" from Sammobile firmwares, it gave out results of version 4.2.2 So its basically 4.2 with small bug fixes. I tried google it, but did not find pure "4.2" version?
