Why did we post this message in the general area and here to? The Mods would have moved the other one here.
Your device is unlocked, no need to worry about different carriers.

Like Ax said don't worry about carrier, but you should be concerned with your model of phone. You have a GT-i9500 which has different hardware than the GT-i9505 and our SGH-I337(M). So i'd stick to your forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2286

After googling for I9500XXUAMDK it looks like your phone's firmware is russian. So, your problem is the radio hardware for mobile networks do NOT match to the network standards the carriers in US and Canada use. Mostly it's a matter of used frequencies and maybe communication protocols which differ from Europe to America.
You CAN try to flash another firmware with different modem which match better to your country but this won't negate any hardware limitations. I suggest to check http://www.sammobile.com for a firmware matching to your country, or your carrier. But this is just a suggestion; I won't give any guarantee it will work.
Good luck.

Hi,
Baseband is not included in the ROM.
It does not matter what baseband you have,as long as it works.
If you are not having any signal problems,then, there is no need to worry.

Which Firmware did you try to install? According to your problem description you are most likely trying to downgrade, which is not possible under certain circumstances.

For example - Build data: 04.03.2014, N9005XXUENC2 KSA (Saudi Arabia) KitKat 4.4.2. The device doesn't understand anything. Is it possible to fix the problem ????
Thank you for answer

Apparently you can only downgrade AP but not the modem. First flash your new ROM, then flash your current modem version afterwards.

Update SM-G900F to 5.0

Hi,
Bought a Galaxy S5 which I'm struggling to update (preferably to a unrooted, stock UK ROM)
baseband: g900TUVU1ANCH
Model number: SM-G900F
Android version: 4.4.2
Build no: DONGCHAO.607
From the Samsung phone info app:
Bootloader:G900TUVU1ANCH
PDA VERSION:
G900W8VLU1AND1
CSC VERSION:
G900W8OYA1AND1
Latest Firmware:
Not found
Root existance:
Yes
Build no.
KOT49H.G900W8VLU1AND1 (Why is this different?)
I could be wrong but from the numbers above I think it's using a Chinese ROM which may be preventing me putting a UK ROM on there.
The model number in Android and the Samsung Phone Info app is reported as a SM-G900F, but when I restart the phone in download mode it's reported as a SM-900T.
Can anyone explain which ROM I should be using and how I get 5.0>?
thanks!
