Was that the only file available? Usually there's 4-5 .tar files zipped. There's no CSC file.

M250-L it's not I9100
There's even the M250-K and M
They have NFC on board and your phone has it?
They are different hardware variants. Like Vibrant and Captivate and i9000
BTW if you want flash it use the single tar as PDA as it was on all stock firmware released till now

Last time I checked, no. But I'll check again.
Do you have the phone? I just want to download the complete firmware.

It is a complete firmware. Look at size. Read intratech thread on stock firmwares to find an Howto for extraction of PDA, modem and csc

It's not complete when it's missing files. It contains Sbl.bin, factoryfs.img, modem.bin and zImage. Just checking file size does not prove a thing. Open the file and view it. Missing files (assuming Korean firmwares ship with the same files) are boot.bin, cache.img, hidden.img and param.lfs.
Now if someone with a Korean phone can just tell me the version number (see first page), anyone can probably download the complete firmware from Samsung's servers with checkfusdownloader.

My friend just came back to the States from Korea, and he brought along the SGS 2 Korean variant "K" (of KT).
I am using the international GT-i9100 on AT&T, so I was wondering if he could also use his korean variant on the network.
I put my sim card on his phone and here's what i found:
it recognized AT&T, and going to settings, I could see that it was my number.
I could make calls, but could not receive.
When i try making calls, it gives me two options, says something like 1.ROAM or 2. use "someting" else (local?) forgive me I don't recall on top of my head as this event took place a week ago.. But as i looked through this thread i saw the exact same picture describing the same problem... also cannot recall which post/page.
Anyways, is there any way to make this korean variant work?
he bought it a month ago in Korea, and before coming to the States he called the KT to have it country unlocked but they told him that the phone is already unlocked so it can be used outside.
I also noticed that the data symbol is only on G. which I believe is 2g. so it's not able to utilize 3g/H+.
Can he use AT&T without problems? thanks guys!
Hi everybody, I'm new here and I'm in dire need of help, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 from KSA, but travelled outside to malaysia first. I opened the phone here and used a different sim card first thing it asked me was for a "Sim Network Unlock Pin". now i already started it with a local sim, how am i supposed to over come this? ive also tried using online sites for codes but it was no help, what should i do to unlock??
next time, search.

I tried both methods but none of them worked :/
some suggestions...
Sorry you're having this trouble, qnfk... and that your welcome here by the above poster was not only less than friendly, it was unhelpful, since the solutions he recommended are for a different problem, namely unlocking a carrier lock not the region lock. Your phone is likely to have only one or the other.
I noticed that you have found the thread, Region Lock Unlocking for i9500 S4, though it hasn't become very active yet.
I have 3 suggestions for you:
A. Type *#12580*369# on your phone to check RF Cal for the date of manufacture and *#1234# for the firmware version codes for AP, CP & CSC.
B. Follow these directions to access the MCC blacklist in your device's customer.xml file:

...use a file manager app like ES file explorer to look at the file /system/csc/customer.xml and then look for the lines starting:

C. Read this entire thread: Check the countries that you can’t use your galaxy S4 in. Consider posting your questions there with the above information. It's a fairly active thread and I'm sure you'd be welcome... in fact, you'll find that the OP referenced your situation last week.
Your circumstances are unusual since Asian phones are officially supposed to be region unlocked. If you do post on that thread, you might consider also providing information about the background of your phone, such as where you bought it, how the seller represented its origin to you and whether or not it had a region-lock sticker on the box.
Good Luck!

almost giving up on GT-I9500
I have a GT-I9500 that is Region locked(Middle East),I tried almost everything but nothing works for me.....H*ll I don't mind paying for unlocking codes,but i read somewhere that Region Locked is different,so buying unlocking codes might not really work,the phone comes with the new bootloader(phone made 2013.10.13),pls if anybody has a solution/suggestion or even a reliable website that can provide genuine "Region Unlocking codes" should share.
what i ve tried so far but still did not work
1-Region unlock app by @Chainfire
2-Try entering service mode by *#0011#
3-Root and install a custom rom(Crash Rom)
4-Terminal Emulator (to calculate unlock codes)
5-Change the Modem (tried all the modems,more than 10)
If anybody can help,pls kindly assist....

What if the RF Cal version says not active?
Hello guys,
Does anyone work on unlocking the new Region Lock for i9500 ?
I know some work being done for note3, but what about s4 ?
I'm stuck with a US locked i9500 (outside of US). The "activation" with US sim did not work (it worked in US but once i'm abroad it is locked, but even here works with american sim). I can test things on my phone / provide logs if needed.
thanks,
Im actually also having the same problem. I even tried unlocking through code and using apps,didnt work for me
maybe this works
I haven't tried but you can check these methods.
1. I heard that root is needed together with the app like region lock away.apk by chainfire
2. Further, it seems that purchasing a SIM unlock code not only unlocks the device’s SIM, but also its region.
3. With root explorer navigate to system/csc/customer.xml*file (if you can)
It will contain list of Network Lock fields including one for your country MCC for e.g for Thiland it's MCC is (520) and China MCC (460).You can find your country mcc by googling.
Thailand NetworkLock field in CSC file might look like:*<NetworkLock>520BB</NetworkLock>.
China NetworkLock field in CSC file might look like:*<NetworkLock>460BB</NetworkLock>.
This would help understand what might be the reason for the change in lock state whether it is a change in the regional NetworkLock list in the CSC .
Find your country in which you are in respective mcc code and search in the xml file if you find it delete that mcc code line and save it. But please don't forget to make backup in case if it doesn't work
Tell me if it works otherwise some other person will surely help you guys.

1. Tried the RegionAway app v1.3 by chainfire. it was sucessfull but nothing changed. it is still locked. ( the app is designed for note3 as far as i understand)
2. i've heard about many who tried their luck with purchasing codes - it does not work. Also confirmed with unlocksamsungonline.com it wont help
3. my customer.xml does not contain the string "lock". This is probably because i've downloaded and flashed an official version of my local firmware. (thought maybe it will unlock) - it didnt. Also tried to flash older modems - or it does not work completely or still locked.
Also got a comment from unlocksamsungonline.com that "I9500 is Andriod1 model with new EFSv2 security" and is a problem ....

Eventually i found a guy with Z3X box and he unlocked it in 3min by pushing "Unlock" button on his laptop
I've been using a n9005 bought unlocked in europe (Romainia) in Asia. I had my local service provide me with a new 4g sim. And they helped me connect to 4g using a 3rd party app from appstore to toggle 4g. (Viaero 4G Toggle)
Since the latest Samsung update i am unable to use the app -- and have no way to toggle the same. How can i enable 4g? shall i flash a different region rom? Of shall i change CSC? (tried once it never worked!) I am on XXUMDJ7.
If i should try a different rom or CSC which one?
Any help is appreciated (googled but couldn't find much useful.)
Not clear what you are reporting/asking.
It seems that you did have an N9005 (region-locked for EU but not carrier-locked) and you were using it somewhere in Asia (where?) with a local SIM that was working. Now you had the MJ7 update and the local SIM is no longer working - at all or just the LTE part? Do you still have the original SIM that you first used when you started your N9005 (or any SIM from EU)? Does that one work? (but be careful with mobile data since roaming costs on that can be ugly).
I also assume you are not rooted and never had RegionLockAway.
Just the LTE part. It was never on tbe connection options menu. I used d toggle app to enable it. New updates killed the app .
I dont mind rooting. Dont care abt d warrenty. No. Never needed unlock away..

What do you have listed under Acess Point Names (APNs)? (you might need to manually add a custom entry there, you don't need root for that on unlocked phones but you need a lot of settings from your local carrier).
Also around the same menu there is a setting where you can select LTE(4G)/WCDMA(3G)/GSM(2G) modes (4G can be kind of a battery killer, with 3G sometimes close second battery killer).
I don't have that option on settings. The app i used was a work arround.
I'm wondering which rom / csc will enable it?

Hi, I feel your pain and know exactly what you are talking about.
Samsung have a special file where they define which carrier codes are allowed to have LTE.
You need root and you have to add your carrier to the following file "lteon_netlist.xml" that is located in /system/csc/common/etc.
Study that file, make a backup and add your carrier there, reboot and the LTE option will show together with 2G and 3G
Enjoy!

Thank you. You are a genius! I had to do a CSC change to make that show up after changing the file. (It didn't get picked up on reboot.)
Before your reply, I'd looked over the CSC folder through XMLs -- but focused on the individual CSCs! wasted a good few hours digging up online and playing with Odin too.
Thanks again -- I am sure many will have this issue when they travel. Or, like me they would want to pick a European phone coz Samsung in some Asian markets don't offer LTE models (even though in Colombo and in this country, there is LTE all major urban/suburban areas!)
If someone else is looking this is what they need to modify. (on lteon_netlist.xml"located in /system/csc/common/etc)... create a new entry/ies - you need to put your network numeric code -- which an online search will get you, and the name and the country. like what i did, below!
<whiteLists numeric="41301" ltestate="PS/CSFB" operator="Mobitel" country="Sri Lanka" defaultMode="GWL"/>
<whiteLists numeric="41302" ltestate="PS/CSFB" operator="DIALOG" country="Sri Lanka" defaultMode="GWL"/>
And i can't believe that samsung cant just add all LTE enabled networks by default. They make top of the class HW, but the decision making is abysmal! Can't wait to get my hands on Cyanogen!

How did you do a CSC change? I have similar issues(bought HK 9005 and using in new zealand) and changing the common/etc/lte_netlist.xml does not work for me. I even tried to flash a local CSC which made the phone look like a branded phone but still no lte option by default.
My alternative solution is to modify the /data/propert/persist.radio.lteon file after rooting.
i did this but it not working my phone also i dont know why my phone is note 3 sm-n9005 can u explain to me how to do it

It didn't work for me either, until i changed the CSC code for the phone -- apply any available - I am on BTU. The settings get applied once you do that only. Try CSC changer app by Manniakk from google play!
Of course that resets your phone -- so you might wanna back up your data!
Have you tried dialing *#2263#?
If yours is sm-n9005, you should be able to choose lte/wcdma/gsm band manually.

Same Issue with LTE in Colombo
Without altering the CSC and rooting is there a way to enable LTE by flashing a supporting ROM from a supporting region.
Mine was purchased in Malaysia (n9005) and already tried BTU but nothing.
AP is changed to N9005XXUDMK2
CP is the same which is N9005XXUDMJ7
CSC is changed to N9005OXADMK2
When i go to Settings - About Phone
Baseband is still N9005XXUDMJ7 and not changed.
Have i done anything wrong here. And the weird issue is i have nothing, Not even the standard 3G or HSPA+ service. NO DATA at all.
Please guys need help as im a noob
Hi. im using a N9005 with HK TGY firmware and couldnt get the LTE option available. Anyone know how to activate the Service Mode menu via the dialer app? i tried *#2263# and it didnt work.

By modifying the "\system\csc\common\system\etc\lteon_netlist.xml" file, you should also modify the file "\system\csc\BTU\system\csc\contents.db" to reflect the change of the size of the the file lteon_netlist.xml.
To do that, open contents.db file by using Hex Editor, search for "lteon_netlist.xml", you will see this string will follow by 2 bytes, e.g 34 85. This is the size of the file lteon_netlist.xml (in HexaDecimal. In Decimal it will be 13,445). Now see what is the size of your new lteon_netlist.xml file, convert it to HexaDecimal, and then put it in the place right after "lteon_netlist.xml" string.
For example, if your new lteon_netlist.xml file has a new size 14,525 (in bytes). This value will be 38 BD in HexaDecimal. Then put this value in the contents.db file, right after "lteon_netlist.xml" string.
Sorry for my poor english
Ok now I know you can edit the LTE file but this doesn't resolve the basebands the N9005 reads right?

I've Boughten an unlocked Galaxy Note 3 SM-9005 on ebay. To use for straight talk in the United States. The first sim card i had in it was a normal sized sim card that i had cut (instead of micro) And after fiddling this sim card had worked from 4-5 days. Then i started to get the error message "No service" and "Not registered on Network" I had figured the sim was probably the reason to why i was not being allowed to call or message. So i bought another brand new micro sim card. And then put that in (Again with straight talk) and i am still unable to call or message. I have checked my imei number and it is the same as the one on the back of the phone. I have tried to re-register on the network within the settings on the phone. With no luck whatsoever. I have noticed that the CSC is not correct for the united states. And in hopes of fixing it i rooted and installed a custom rom. (IMEI is still the same)
If someone could please help...I am Stumped[/FONT]

I've Boughten an unlocked Galaxy Note 3 SM-9005 on ebay. To use for straight talk in the United States. The first sim card i had in it was a normal sized sim card that i had cut (instead of micro) And after fiddling this sim card had worked from 4-5 days. Then i started to get the error message "No service" and "Not registered on Network" I had figured the sim was probably the reason to why i was not being allowed to call or message.

Given the details that you have provided so far the most likely scenarios that I see are:
1) there is a mechanical problem on the SIM contact
2) the seller was on some form of a contract and has reported the phone stolen, so the IMEI is now blocked on some or all carriers.
DO NOT MINGLE WITH THE FIRMWARE at this point (and also disable any automatic updates of the firmware).
Also if you want further technical info (and not just guesswork) you should post the output from *#1234#

It really does depend on the issues xclub has brought up.
If it was me, I'd rule out SIM issue (the card itself) due to having a replacement, although it could be an issue with the SIM Tray.
And if it is used, then yes it is possible that it has been blocked by the original owner.
EDIT : Do you guys in the US have an IMEI checker for blocked IMEI's etc? in Europe we do it's called CHECK MEND.. Might be worth having a look or alternatively give your network a ring, they'll know for sure.

I Contacted Straight talk and they confirmed that my imei was not blocked. And if i were to download say this firmware sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SM-N9005&pcode=XSI#firmware would that make any difference?

Ok so you have the same firmware as me, I am using BTU which is UK (I am UK) - So your CSC does indeed need changed to match you for US use - -- Firstly does your network support the available frequency required? (do you have LTE?) - If so you can change you CSC to your required region But another factor --- are you aware of region lock? has it been disabled that you know of? - this could cause some issues if it hasn't been deactivated - I'm not sure when changing CSC/firmware if it reactivates region locking or not
EDIT: I think only T-Mobile supports the N9005 in the US ( I could be wrong) --- Need a US user to chime in here I think to be 100% sure!!
Going with an Unknown carrier on CSC/FW- May not solve it

I could try it tho. I'll tell you the results once i finish. And Verizon And At&t are used by straight talk. And it looks like they both have the note 3. And when i purchased this phone, It said that region lock was disabled

Don't see why not, plenty of people are buying them and plenty selling them.
majority of users have no idea what Knox is tbh, it's ultimately up to you if you disclose this to them or not.

That looks like EU version. Since somewhere else you mentioned that you rooted then the next thing to try is Region Lock Away:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551
since the phone might now be "hit" by the EU region lock (an even simpler test would be to insert an EU SIM just to see if it registers on some network for roaming). If RegionLockAway fixes things you can then see what version of firmware you want in order to get LTE from your carrier.
If you want to sell the phone - being rooted might even be a plus, but having Knox 0x1 is certainly a major minus.
I did get region unlock and it did not work. And when i try to install the unknown firmware i am unable to flash it with odin i get all sorts of errors (I tried two of the unknowns) BTW thanks for the help
Please help, I flashed it to Android 5.0 and I did root for it and used region unlock app and still I face the same issue, please help me
