I have model GT I9505 here in my country but its network/contract/carrier locked...is it possible to flash and root this type of GS4 with same model number(I9505) but its network provider locked! will it brick when i rooted it and flash custom roms?
basically i think its bootloader locked..is it safe to root and flash custom roms?

model number GT-I9505
Hello,
I need to ask if There is any possibility to remove branded applications, and general system
three.uk operator, so that seemed normal as the normal S4.
I bought a phone with root, so this is not necessary, but I'm not sure if it's somehow going to make
and do not know how. TouchWiz does not bother me so or if there is a original samsung rom.
Thank you very much for your answers and advice

You can Flash with the BTU version of XXUBMGA and keep a pre Knox version of 4.2.2 If you want 4.3 you can Flash with a Knox version of the BTU Rom on XXUEMJ7. If you want 4.3 pre Knox you will have to read the forums to find the best option for you. Both of these options definitely work on a 3UK i9505 Galaxy S4

I currently own a SM-N9905 from the Philippines that is currently locked to a carrier.
Baseband: N9005XXUDMJ7
PDA: N9005XXUDMJ7
CSC: N9005OLBDMJ2
1. Can I change the CSC to another region so I can update to 4.4.2?
2. Will Knox 0x0 be tripped if I do so?
3. (a longshot question) If I manage to change the CSC will the phone be unlocked?
You must look here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666907
And the answer is yes.You will trip knox for changing CSC you need root.Root will trip knox.

To try about CSC's, I have flashed the Singapore XSP but it have the XTC from Philippines by default. May be a Samsung error.
If You flash this Rom by Odin3 v3.09 You stay whit Your XTC, not need change CSC. And the flag continue 0x0.
When we say phone locked or unlocked is only about Sim card from Your carrier. You can't use the Sim from another carrier. Like my Note3 is locked to TMN. But I and You can flash what we want, Rom's, Bootloaders, Modem,s, CSC's, etc.
Make Full wipe data + cache on recovery. If You not have one customer recovery (that trip the flag to 0x1) You make this whit stock recovery, but in this case Your internal Sdcard must be wiped also. Save it to External or to Pc before.
Flash this Rom is HERE.
Singapore XSP (but XTC by default) => XXUENB4_ OLBENA3_XXUENB1
OLB = Multi-CSC 10 csc's on Post #5 from that thread.
PS: In this case You not need the link from post before.

Mine is SMA. Can I flash XXUENB4_ OLBENA3_XXUENB1 via Odin directly and Knox will remain 0x0?

Hi Guys,
I would like to first root my phone and upgrade to KitKat 4.4 firmware and remove the Optus bloat ware. I have stumbled across this firmware and wanted to know if it would be safe to upgrade?
Firmware: I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_OXA - from sammobile
Currently with Optus and my settings are:
Model: GT-I9505
Product Code: GT-I9505ZKAOPS
PDA: I9505XXUEMK9
CSC: I9505OPSEMJ5
Modem: I9505XXUEMK9
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I dont recommend that process coz:
1. The Australian (OPTUS) firmware still without receive the correct android 4.4.2 update.
2. i9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_OXA is only a LEAK KitKat firmware (with bugs).
3. You own a branded phone. Better only disable the bloatware at this moment or root it without void ur warranty if you can

Should be fine as neither are network locked.
To downgrade your phone its not that easy, you can lose your IMEI.
