Help with flashing/unlocking SG4 I9505 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I recently bought an Galaxy S4 that is locked to an swedish operator and I am trying to unlock it by using the methods in
the SG4 unlocking guide on the forum. However I am having the problem that each time when i try to do the *#0011# and tap BACK and then TAP 1 nothing happens. So I started searching and found that my modem is to new and thats the problem why I cant acess the service mode menu.
My phone is new and it has not been rooted or anything I am currently on I9505XXUBMEA wich I´ve been told is to new modem to be able to acess the Service mode menu. So what I want to do is to try flash to an older modem and see if I can reach the menu to be able to unlock my phone.
The problem however is that I have been searching a lot and can´t find any info if i can just flash my current XXUBMEA modem to an older modem without doing any damages to the phone? Should I use the odin program to do so?
I really appriciate all the help that you guys can provide.
Best regards from Sweden

[HELP] Samsung S4 not starting up

Hi guys,
First thanks for all your help in advance.
My mobile yesterday started to give me error "Not registered on the network" every time I tried to do a phone call. After google-it apparently this is a common problem on the Samsung devices and following a tutorial on the link bellow I was able to root my mobile phone without any problem and following the tutorial on idroidspace I was able to try all the solutions as suggested
On the first they ell to try using ARIZA patch, but when I ran it says that my model is not compatible. On the second on they advice me to flash my modem, I have follow all the instructions but didn't work as well, I was still receiving the error when I tried to do a phone call.
Today I was looking to find the stock firmware (ROM) for my Samsung thinking that a reinstallation could work to solve the error, but after I installed the Kernel file using ODIN v3.07 my mobile is now saying "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message and after that is not showing any image on the screen
I'm trying to turn my mobile using recovery mode but the same message shows up and the mobile is not turning on...I'm only able to turn the mobile on using the download mode...and ODIN is still detecting it
My Mobile is a Samsung S4 GT-I9505 XXUBMEA unlocked to all the networks from UK
Can you guys please help me? I probably have destroyed the phone already and seek for help to late. But can you guys help me?
Thanks
Sorry to be a pain guys, but please can anyone advise me what should I do next?

Unfortunately, you're posting in the wrong forum. This is the forum for the S4 Active which is a very different device than the regular S4. Post your question in this forum and you should get an answer.

Try another SIM Card, if you can make calls and it keeps kicking you off then it may be faulty.
thanks

Cannot find your CSC region,not sure why! however.. You have maybe a couple options, Reflash a new MJ7 ROM - If your phone is UNBRANDED you can try a generic Firmware.
OR
Can factory reset, wipe data and see if it fixes it.
OR
It's possible (and this actually might be the issue) that there is a hardware malfunction...

can u pls tell me the method to re flash my mobile ??
thank yooou
You must read on flashing guides and be 100% sure you have read and learnt everything.
I could post a How To here, but if you got stuck or made a mistake you'd have to ask here again and maybe no one would respond for a while and you would be stuck. So it's a lot easier if you try to find for yourself so you can learn it, and maybe one day teach someone else how to fix :good:
EDIT: I am not being rude by not helping, just I am trying to fix my device also after Hard brick
appreciate
can u just give me a link to my rom and I will flash it with oden ?? pls I need this
Here is the firmware files, check which one you need and flash via ODIN in PDA slot.
