Help! No network after flashing gpe!

So, first of all -- I get it, I'm a noob. But everyone's gotta start somewhere, and so did you.
Moving on, I had a stock Galaxy S4 i9505 on 4.2.2, locked to Portugal's Vodafone (I now understand this is probably what caused my issues).
I wiped data, cache, and flashed the Google Play Edition ROM. When the phone booted, I had no network, even after inserting the PIN number and going through the setup process. So I went to the Network Carrier selector in the Settings (Settings More - Mobile Networks - Network Operators) and selected Vodafone from the menu.
Then I got network. For 2 minutes. Then no network again, until I repeated. So this was driving me nuts, and I Googled what to do, and found out I could use an app called "Network" to try and switch from WCDMA to CDMA. So I downloaded that app, changed my network (to something - I don't know what since I can't open the app, as it crashes every time), and I'm still with the same issue.
Flashed back stock image and restored nandroid backup - nothing helped. Any solutions?
TL;DR: GS4 Locked to Vodafone -- Flashed GPe ROM -- No Network -- Flashed Stock -- Still no network
EDIT: I actually didn't quite flash back to where I was before, so I can't get my Nandroid backup to work (bootloop); I was on 4.2.2 stock, ended up flashing 4.3 stock since I couldn't find a 4.2.2, so my backup doesn't work.

Bump! Please someone help out, it's not my phone, it's my dad's, and I really have to get it to work really fast, he needs it for work.

Do you have a correct imei?

I went to sammobile, registered and downloaded a firmware, but it was a zip. I just flashed it and it worked (I actually didn't bother trying to extract it because I thought it was really just a flashable zip.

1. The IMEI is clean. Your device don't detect your SIMCARD on the pics you added. Do you know that?
2. Backup your important internal data on your computer and Factory reset your device too (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything).

Sim card is not inserted becouse the problem with not registered on network.
Ive already factory resetd the device

Did you change CSC back to the original one?

yes i did
and i reflash it with stock rom again and same problem

Your first mistake was in getting (apparently) a Frankenphone. Your second mistake was in trying to change the CSC. The Sprint device only has one CSC, unlike the I9500 and I9505, which have several.
From your description, attempting to change the CSC may have restored the device's "golden backup" (i.e. the original radio settings), and in doing so also reset the SIM lock. To blow away the SIM lock, downgrade to Android 4.2.2 and run RegionLock Away. Then start doing some research into converting the device from Sprint to GSM. And next time, hopefully you'll steer far away from Frankenphones.

Did the phone ever work properly?
Does the imei in the phone match the imei on the label under the battery?
You have tried other sim cards in the phone?
Tried flashing the latest stock ROM from sammmobile.com?
If these things don't solve the problem, sounds like it could be a hardware problem.

You mean the phone doesn't detect a sim or active sim cards can't connect to the carrier?
You can install the Samsung phone info app from the play store to find out the bootloader, modem, and CSC version on the phone.

[HELP] I have a problem on my Samsung Galaxy 5 Neo (G903F)

Please help me,, i have a samsung galaxy s5 neo (g903f). But, imei null, wifi not working, and baseband unknown... How i can fix it?
Sorry for my bad english

1. Remove that cancer (emoji)
2. Remove your IMEI from the post
3. Sammobile is where you download firmwares from. It does not matter what country, because G9xxF is intended for European market.
4. Go to IMEI.info, input your IMEI and you'll see a green Warranty button right under the image of the phone, on the right side of the page. Here you input your Serial Number (SN) and it'll say where it was made. Most likely Vietnam.

Rewrite firmware. Try and see if it helps. Otherwise, to a repair shop with it. What did you do to damage it?
