Australian language support for s4 gt-i9500 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Noob user here but long fan of the forum. Just wondering if anyone knew of the firmware version that supports the Australian language for the s4 gt-i9500? When I got my s4, it did have it on here but during the upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 it had a massive break down and I found that my unit had vietmanese country codes which when downloading the official rom, it didn't support the aussie language - which doesn't allow me to have the best signal nor to support the news in my country.
I'd apprechiate any help that could be given.
Thanks again,
Szandor

Basically the region and/or the cell provider. There's a list somewhere on XDA that goes over each model.

I believe all the ones that aren't CDMA?
From GSMArena:
Samsung Galaxy S5
Available as:
Samsung SM-G900F - for Europe
Samsung SM-G900I - for Asia
Samsung SM-G900K/G900L/G900S - for Korea
Samsung SM-G900M - for Vodafone
Samsung SM-G900A - for AT&T
Samsung SM-G900T - for T-Mobile
Samsung SM-G900V - for Verizon
Samsung SM-G900R4 - for US Cellular
Samsung SM-G900P - for Sprint
As for which one for Australia, I have no idea. I believe that for other devices Australia uses the EU model, so it's likely that one. But I can't guarantee it.
I'm from Malaysia but here have f version only and in Indonesia only version h

The official australian version is G900I since G900F doesn't support some of the LTE frequencies (700Mhz and 2300Mhz).

I have G900W8 but shortly will migrate to Europe, and would like to use my own language, that is currently not supported by W8 firmware.

Search for 'Odin' in the forums and download the firmware from www.sammobile.com.

People really shouldn't flash firmwares that are not meant for your phone. While they might be 99% identical, there are some differences like the 3g/4g bands that the device supports.

I bought the G900F in Hong Kong and works perfectly well in Australia on Vodafone 4G. I also flashed the UK BTU firmware over the stock ZHU firmware and simply brilliant.
I think you limit yourselves buying the G900I version as the G900F has far more options for flashing stock firmwares, and works perfectly well in Australia. The G900I version reminds me of the S4 Mini (i9195T version) which was Vodafone/Telstra only and never received the 4.3 update, or any others for that matter.... Better to get a phone that has world wide coverage, than one that's limited to Australia if you care about timely updates.
FYi, if you check www.samfirmware.com, you'll see that the listed G900I is only Australia and Taiwan... G900F is everything from Europe to Asia.
I have the G900H in south America.
I bought S5- SM-G900F from Dubai airport and wanted to know if it will work in India/US
thanks for info
am just wondering if compatability of different models and 4G coverage
Thanks
I have a SM-G900F phone in Australia for last 2 years., and have no problems whatsoever.

[Q] Official Samsung Stock ROM for I9500

I've tried looking the XDA forums and I couldn't find the name of the build for the galaxy S4 - I9500.
What I mean is. that if I wanted to flash to the official Samsung ROM, what is the ROM that I need to be looking for?
I tried looking on SamMobile, but I couldn't find for the UK.
many thanks, Ice_machinE

Russian is the best as of now. Less heating and less juice consumption (as compared)

[Q] HELP Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919V)

Hello guys,
(I'm new to XDA -Developers website so I'm learning)
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919V) it's my first android phone.
It's the Wind/T-Mobile one. I have a few questions.
I want to put Cyanogenmod on my S4 but I'm little bit worried it won't work.
I've did research about people putting Cyanogenmod and they said they said that they don't get 4G signal in terms of data and have to change base band. Is that true?
I live in Toronto, Canada and I got the phone from Wind Network. So I was wondering will the Cyanogenmod Mod work on this Samsung device without and problems using the Installer of course. Device is Rooted.
Also just in case if anything goes wrong. I can use Odin to restore it to it's original firmware?
Here's the details I got from "Sammobile Firmware Page":
PDA: M919VVLUFNE1
CSC: M919VYVLFNE2
MODEM: M919VVLUFNE1
Version: Android 4.4
(Original Firmware)
So that's all the questions I have to ask.
Thanks,
