1. Make a factory reset. Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything.
(Please remember to back up any data you want to keep first! In the Factory reset screen you also have the option to Backup My Data and Auto Restore. These are good options to tick before you Factory Reset if you're not too sure how to do this on your own.)
2. Install Kies 3 and conect ur phone to the pc
3. You will see there CSC (....). Remember this 3 letters btw parenthesis close CSC. This will be ur zone code. Maybe u bought ur phone in ROMANIA but this doesnt mean ur phone is from there.
4. Go to Sammobile.com and download the correct firmware with that 3 letters. (Remember download always BLACK EDITION firmware, no others.)
5. Flash it through ODIN.
6. Enjoy LTE now

Hi,
I think your code you are looking for is "XXX" or "NC4". I'm not quite sure...
May be the best to proceed with step 4 and check that download page whether there is a firmware with one code guess. As far as there is no match with the other, I think you can safely proceed.

Ok one more question, IF I don't have 4G enable network then still my device have to show that LTE option...? Because rightnow I don't have 4G network in this area.

Yep.
I don't have LTE in my area either but a quick check of my settings showed that I indeed have this option.

I think the reason is, why you dont have LTE, is that samsung didn't build pakistan firmware for i9505.

Same problem here, and don't seem to find any original firmware online so I can flash costum one to check if 4G/LTE will turn on.
PS: Phone Info on PlayStore indicates me Product Model : ROM for my romanian i9505 black edition.

Galaxy S4 i9505 no 4G/LTE Orange CH

Sorry for my bad english but i am swiss. i have a question. orange ch have startet 4g and my s4 dont find the network. the problem is on alls s4. how i can activate 4g? i dont want to wait an update from orange. my s4 is rootet and have omega v 3.0 rom with adam kernel. the htc one from my neighbor have the 4g on orange network. what i can make? thx for replys
The problem is the CSC file.
Go to Sammobile, search for your phone in firmware section. Check the latest CSC available for your phone. And then, start searching in these forums for your right one. Or use the app from the market (CSC changer S2/S3... something) and 'activate' the right CSC. (remember, it is OR - I don't advice to use both). You will probably need to make a factory reset (full wipe from recovery)..
thx for reply. sammobile dont have the s4 i9505 in the firmware section and csc changer too.
EDit. i have installed csc changer. my s4 have BTU but swiss is ATU and i dont find it in this app
UPDATE: i have installed the original rom with swiss csc but i dont have 4g. orange say samsung must make an update but i dont want wait. i have buyed the s4 only for 4g and android

Hi I also have orange in Switzerland and tried many different combinations of firmware/modem/csc and didn't get the menu working.
But if you go to service mode with *#0011# -> menu back -> menu key input 1 -> menu back -> lte -> pref mode set -> change to gwl and reboot.
You won't get the option in settings but your phone will connect to 4g when available.

By looking through the sec_csc found in the cache.img.ext4 in a csc.tar.md5 i found a file lteon_netlist.xml in \system\csc\common\system\etc. The swisscom entry is:
<whiteLists numeric="22801" ltestate="PS/CSFB" operator="Swisscom" country="Switzerland" defaultMode="GWL"/>
so we would have to add this for orange I guess
<whiteLists numeric="22803" ltestate="PS/CSFB" operator="Orange CH" country="Switzerland" defaultMode="GWL"/>
UPDATE: by looking through the csc of this firmware I9505XXUAME2_I9505MEOAME3_MEO which appears to be a portuguese one but with csc ME3 and whitelist date <!-- WHITELIST_20130520--> I found the exact entry I mentioned to add. I will try a bit with that later.

I flashed this firmware but didn't get the option, so I flashed back to the one I had before (NEE), both times without wipe though. Still didn't have the option. But today suddenly it was there.

So izolight, which ROM and kernel are you using to get the Orange.ch 4G activated? I am in Basel but still only see H+ and 3G
Thanks for your help.

Thanks! Stock NEE? Nordic countries?? Really? If I flash this will I be able to flash Omega 3.0 over the top?
I flashed with a Swisscom SWC firmware before Omega - maybe this is my problem. I will give the service mode a try first though. Thanks again. :good:

I just noticed there is a new firmware for Switzerland
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/225141908/dacbc8c/I9505XXUAME2_I9505AUTAME2_AUT.zip.html
It seems this has AME2 as csc so the setting of GWL in service mode won't be necessary as Orange is already on the lte whitelist on this one.
I would try this.

If the APN is locked out, then usually it's because you have a carrier branded ROM installed and they disabled changing it to stop you using other networks. Flash a universal ROM without any branding. What's your current CSC?
Use this app from the store

Ok you're currently on Phillipines (Smart). There no unbranded ROM for that region, only 3 other networks - Sun Cellular, Open Line and Globe. So if you're using one of those networks you can flash one of those or there's a unbranded ROM available for the Malaysia region.

Well that's an XTE ROM which is for the Sun Cellular network. So if you're using that network it will work but if not, they may have also locked out the APN settings.

2. Make a factory reset (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything.)
3. Dial *#1234# and attach what appears.

Flashing new firmware won't lock ur phone if your phone is unlocked legally by IMEI (no for service mode coz this only worked in android 4.2.2). You can update directly to android 4.4.2 if you wish without problems

But remember verify your CSC with Kies3 before flash any firmware if you wanna receive OTA updates in future and avoid problems with other firmwares. Attach one screenshot of Kies 3 and I will help ya better.

There are plenty of them over the internet...
You can use this one for example :
http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...ide-samsung-how-flash-stock-rom-via-odin.html
You can found stock rom here :
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9506/
And Samobile also provide same informations as the previous tutorial on the page when you select a firmware :
That's all you can't do easier...
If you downgrade you need to format after flashing the rom by doing HOME + POWER + Volume up to enter recovery and select factory reset and then Proceed

I'm really unsure of which version is for us in Sweden, there is a version for Tre Sweden but that is not the patriot æ operator she is using and then there is a Nordic version but doesn't fit with the following baseband name
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Okay so I tried to flash the Nordic file for kitkat and now the phone is stuck on boot up logo... Don't know which file to install. This is what it says on the box
I need help finding the correct file for kitkat and for the phone above.

But that's for the wrong operator, she doesn't use Tre. And I get that that baseband is for lollipop, I want for kitkat.
Your firmware is here. The last three letters of your model number on the box are the device's CSC, which is the regional code Samsung uses to customize the firmware for specific countries. Using that, it was just a matter of drilling to the right place on sammobile.com.

Thanks @Strephon Alkhalikoi
@Leo_83 mate you mention you want the firmware for Sweden and that baseband, not that baseband for a Kitkat rom........I am not quite sure that is possible as they are from different TW versions.....

Yeah I was confused about the baseband, I should just have said kitkat. I know now that new version means new baseband.

What version were you before? lollipop? if so you can not downgrade....
Is that because of the massive changes with Android 5, namely ART?

I did it!!
And yes I downgraded from lollipop to kitkat.
I just followed this guide, with the difference of running Odin 3.09 and uncheckning Auto Reboot and waiting for PASS to show in Odin http://forums.androidcentral.com/am...ide-samsung-how-flash-stock-rom-via-odin.html
After that pass is shown in Odin, remove the battery and reboot the phone... Now after start up the phone will get stuck on the boot up animation. Here comes the trick... When you get stuck on boot up turn off the phone and go into recovery this time and do a factory reset!!! Now reboot normally and tada downgraded [emoji4] Guess who has a happy girlfriend now, guess I'm getting lucky tonight [emoji13]
