Hi, I bought my phone from Hong Kong and I'm from Canada. I use Wind Mobile but my s4 doesn't have the same frequency as it, I need 1700/2100. So I can't connect to Wind Mobile on my phone, only Rogers, Bell, and etc. I am using the GT-I9500 model. My baseband version is I9500XXUAMDE. Build number JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDE. CSC I9500OJVAMDC. I have never rooted any android phones before (completely noob). So I would like some help and clear instructions please and thank you!

I bought the S5 a few days ago.
The model is SM - G900L, it is with the korean carrier LGU+.
I'll be going back to Canada in 3month and was wondering if this will work with telus in an easy sim swap.
Are there going to be any problems with the LTE, LTE-A, LTE call feature etc?
I tried the telus sim here in korea and roaming seems to work but i dont know if canada uses same channels as korea.
Also, would it be ok to install (if there is such a thing) the telus carrier rom or the generic NA rom without problem?
Additional info:
Baseband version: G900LKLU1AND2
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-1273833, [email protected] #1
Build number: KOT49H.G900LKLU1AND3
thanks in advanced.
it should work
Check if the basebands in Canada is compatible with your phone
My cellphone is samsung s4 1337m canadian version. Operator is MTS(manitoba). I went to China last year and to unlock my cellphone, I have to flash the HongKong Model firmware. After I got back to Canada, I reset my cellphone to factory and the model number ends with 1337M, which I believe it got back to canadian version. But occassionally my phone says unregistered with network. Could it caused by the flash in China?
attachment is the screenshot.
Thanks.
Hi all,
I bought my S5 (SM-G900F) online and am now unsure if it is the right model for my area (Australia). Are the models roughly similar enough for me to download a ROM or baseband even for something closer my region or carrier (Telstra) would I be more likely to brick my phone?

You can flash firmware from another models but it is safer to flash firmware for your own model.
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to download firmware for your device and flash via Kies/Odin.
You can ask your service provider for the supporting frequency bands of your network, and compare with available bands of your phone (see this link or check with *#2263#). If you want, you can even add more bands to your phone.
So there shouldn't be a problem with flashing my SM-G900F with SM-G900I firmware? I just have a slightly lacklustre reception with my 900F and want to see if flashing Telstra's version of the firmware would help in the slightest.
Hi ?!
Yesterday I received i9505 . Mobile is optus mobile (Australia mobile )
I want to install custom rom
Is that international model?
Did you buy the phone from Optus Mobile?
Is the phone carrier locked (You can only use it with optus sim)?
The international s4 is neverlocked and can be used with any sim as far as I know.
Anyway, this is your modem I9505XXUGNH6 (latest)
Take it into consideration when rooting and installing a custom rom.
I have bought motherboard of note 3 version 9005, 32 gb with lte function from China. But whatever I do I can't get any lte working in Israel. No matter what career. By baseband it has basebands for all careers but never get lte(4G). Even Though I updated to the latest android lollipop 5.0. Now in settings it has written lte/wcdma/gsm. but actually I can't have lte.
My motherboard region is Hong Kong (TGY), China but I am in Israel.
1. I want to have lte function.
2. Hebrew interface of the phone.
Please help.
