I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505. When I select Settings...More...About Device, everything below Device Name, is greyed out, ie Model Number, Android Version, Baseband etc...yet my friends S4, has all the details lit up. Am I missing something here?
Thank You
No that's how they look. You can't change them.

O'k thanks for that. His is a Telstra Phone, where mine is just the International Generic, yet the Firmware of both phones is identical.
Regards.

I was looking at the updates to the s4 and saw the update thinking that it was for the ee s4 with disastrous consequences. I now have the t mobile set up with my ee card. Do not have wifi just wont switch on and it has 4g in the Window where you would find the normal 3g logo. There are also a couple of issues. So my main question is where would I find the stock rom or the update to put it back to normal

Did you ever get any help with this? I have been reading the Note 2 post, and I think I may have read the whole thing from where they started talking about the S4 till the end, as well as about half the rest. I cannot get my S4 to get data working at all. I am in need of the Nandroid backup as well, unless you got it and it didn't work for you.
Nope no one seems to want to help ..but I have gotten the 3g function to work on the s4 by flashing the correct aaa passwords still cannot update profile or prl

Thanks! I had made it CDMA only, but not in there, in ##DATA#.
You know what, this means that I may have gone through all the headache for nothing. I'll start over and we'll see, it may all work without need of *2/activation.
Yeah the *2 method will not work unless the s4 was previously activated on a sprint account

Well, changing the data to CDMA didn't work either. I also have been reading on Nandroid backups that may help with this, and I think what we would need is the carrier. Someone said that EFS is ok to share, but carrier one would have user specific data once it has been activated. So, I guess my fix will be to get them activated on a Sprint line first, then go through the flash.
Thanks for your help!
I searched around but couldn't find anything to solve my problem.
I just bought a LG G2 D800 from Ebay, clean ESN and I double checked it and it was clean.
I unlocked it in CyanogenMod which only required 1 unlock code, but then reverted to stock 4.2.2 restore where there's 5 different locks? When I try to tap each it displays, "Your phone is not personalized".
I slotted my MetroPCS SIM in and the phone displays "Phone not allowed MM #6" on reboot.
Those are all the steps I have done so far to try and use my MetroPCS SIM. This is my first time ever using a GSM Phone, I have no idea what to do now. I've tried to look around Google and XDA and can't find my problem. There was no errors on the AT&T SIM.
looks like a carrier simlocked phone. Is it carrier branded?

Factory reset has done nothing.
Basically, I unlocked the phone, but it isn't unlocked.
Is there any way to reset the lock? Or something of that nature.

As you said that you have flashed a custom ROM and now on stock rom,
Check whether you still have the IMEI #.
Also try insterting the Sim card on another device to check if Sim working, if working then try doing a factory reset.
Also once factory reset done as go in Setting-More Networks-Mobile Networks-Access points-Reset to default.
Try the above steps and let me know if problem still persists.

I live in Australia and there is a couple of different models being sold by different retailers here namely SM-G900X and SM-G900I. With all my previous Galaxy phones I used to flash them to Polish ROMs as they got firmware updates well in advance of Australia but the Polish ROM is SM-G900F. Is there any issue still doing this does anyone know? I cant even find a 900I ROM to reflash with if something goes wrong and I don't want to brick my phone the second day I have it.
Anyone have any idea? Also the Australian 900I version has its dock icons locked which is annoying.

im in the same boat as you maye so frustrating
There must be someone game enough to try this out. There all isn't a 900I ROM available anywhere.

Ok I gave up waiting for an answer and went and saw a friend in retail with stock and we tried it on his demo unit. You CAN NOT flash a 900F from onto a 900I it errors out before it begins saying the model is different.
Seems like we are stuck with the handicaps imposed on our model as Samsung has chosen to make regional models.

Same thing with the Aus S4. You can unlock the dock but you'd have to root the phone first.

The S4 I just flashed mine to a UK or Polish ROM and had no issues and got updates earlier.
