[Q]Regional lock

Hi guys,
I have the latin american sm-n900 and am unable to use it out of the us. I was wondering if it would be possible to flash a different modem to overcome the region lock? What part of the phone is incharge of the lock? HW? SW?
Thx

[Q] [LTE help] i9500 in canada does not have LTE?

Hello everyone,
I have a galaxy s 4 GT i9500, running android 4.3 (build i9500XXUEMK9). The phone is sim unlocked and I am using it on virgin mobile canada. When I go Mobile networks>Network mode, the only options available are WCDMA and GSM, there is no LTE/4G.
After some search, I found out that this might be a location problem, and I should flash the canadian firmware to "enable" LTE on my phone, however I was not able to find a canadian i9500 firmware, it seems that this is the asian version of the phone.
My question is, can I flash the canadian firmware, which is for model SGH-I337M, on my i9500?
Is there any other way to enable LTE?
Thanks a lot.

Samsung was telling they will update ur model for have LTE in differents countries. They didnt mention where they will update it. Atm u have only CHINA update: I9500ZCUFML1. You can try this firmware if u want.

How do I find what region my phone is?

Flashing another firmware will not help to unlock your device.
Typically you will need the unlock code to unlock the phone.
You can buy it online, or follow this topic to request it for free (if any luck).
