My cellphone is samsung s4 1337m canadian version. Operator is MTS(manitoba). I went to China last year and to unlock my cellphone, I have to flash the HongKong Model firmware. After I got back to Canada, I reset my cellphone to factory and the model number ends with 1337M, which I believe it got back to canadian version. But occassionally my phone says unregistered with network. Could it caused by the flash in China?
attachment is the screenshot.
Thanks.

Hi, I bought my phone from Hong Kong and I'm from Canada. I use Wind Mobile but my s4 doesn't have the same frequency as it, I need 1700/2100. So I can't connect to Wind Mobile on my phone, only Rogers, Bell, and etc. I am using the GT-I9500 model. My baseband version is I9500XXUAMDE. Build number JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDE. CSC I9500OJVAMDC. I have never rooted any android phones before (completely noob). So I would like some help and clear instructions please and thank you!
Hi all,
I bought my S5 (SM-G900F) online and am now unsure if it is the right model for my area (Australia). Are the models roughly similar enough for me to download a ROM or baseband even for something closer my region or carrier (Telstra) would I be more likely to brick my phone?

You can flash firmware from another models but it is safer to flash firmware for your own model.
Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to download firmware for your device and flash via Kies/Odin.
You can ask your service provider for the supporting frequency bands of your network, and compare with available bands of your phone (see this link or check with *#2263#). If you want, you can even add more bands to your phone.
So there shouldn't be a problem with flashing my SM-G900F with SM-G900I firmware? I just have a slightly lacklustre reception with my 900F and want to see if flashing Telstra's version of the firmware would help in the slightest.
I have bought motherboard of note 3 version 9005, 32 gb with lte function from China. But whatever I do I can't get any lte working in Israel. No matter what career. By baseband it has basebands for all careers but never get lte(4G). Even Though I updated to the latest android lollipop 5.0. Now in settings it has written lte/wcdma/gsm. but actually I can't have lte.
My motherboard region is Hong Kong (TGY), China but I am in Israel.
1. I want to have lte function.
2. Hebrew interface of the phone.
Please help.
Hello,
Wondering if I can update my girlfriends Canadian S5 (SM-G900W8) with the tmobile 5.1.1 firmware, or another country? The 5.0 update is causing quite a few problems on her phone, wondering if I can use another countries firmware because it will be a cold day in hell before Rogers, Bell or Telus sends out another update.
Thanks!
Yes, you can update it with with another country's firmware.
