Hello there, and greetings from Guatemala.
I have a problema with my S4 GT-I9500. I had my phone rooted and today, i wanted to unroot my phone by flashing vía Odin the original Samsung Frimware (my carrier is Tigo). By mistake, i flashed a Samsung Official Firmnware from another Carrier, which is Claro!! Then i flashed the correct firmware rom for my carrier but now the phone is not recognizing the SIM, and obviously i dont have mobile data, sms and calls. Phone is just working with WiFi. Went to the Carrier to check if the SIM is working and certainly it Works well in another phone, so the SIM is not the problem. I belive the problem is when i flashed the wrong firmware from the other Carrier. Does anyone in this forum knows how to fix this?
Will appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards.

Thanks samersh72 , it worked fine flashing the moden you recomended (I9500UBUBMG9). In fact, i tried flashing the correct stock modem (I9500UBUAMDE) and it flashes the fake imei again, having the same problem.
Now, the question is, why flashing the correct Samsung original ROM blocks my imei? Its not an issue because y can fix it with the recomended modem tahnks to you, But its still a concern i will have everytime i will have to flash a original ROM.
Thank you and thanks to all for responding.

Please HELP!!!
can you guys please tell me is it possible to convert Sprint LG G2 (LS980) to International version (D802) firmware?
looking foward for your help.
thank you!
Yes it is possible with lots of searching and hacking. It is way easier to do permanent SIM unlock procedure and easier than that, use a custom ROM. See link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
Here's my knowledge from the conversion. I could follow the steps in that post but the phone never really worked right. The steps to make the phone work on GSM carriers caused menus to disappear from within the phone, such as ability to change APNs. It works but there's a better way.
I flashed an AOSP ROM to my phone. Shameless plug here for LiquidSmooth beta, I've had the least problems getting a working phone with that ROM, actually works out of the box. While on AOSP, I can replace my Sprint LTE SIM with that of another carrier, reboot the phone and then go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu and change radio mode to GSM. I'm using an AT&T SIM now, domestic even and can SMS, MMS and have HSPA+ data, no LTE. If for some silly reason I want to switch back to Sprint, just swap SIM card, reboot phone, change radio mode in the hidden menu. Simple.

Thank you very much mate :highfive: ! but actually what i want is to have D802 (Stock) firmware on LS980. because D802 is getting updates so quickly. ( Knock Code) i searched for a way to convert but i couldn't find it. can you guys please tell me is it even possible? because both devices are have same hardware except the LTE band! looking forward for your advice. thank you! :good:
I know it's possible. I read once what has to be done. There's some trickery that has to be done in the build.prop which makes the phone think it's another model which would allow the flash. All I can say is search. It is on the XDA forum. The term used was CID change. Found a ton in 2 minutes all related to HTC One on Google, finding the G2 should be easy enough with search.
Once time converted, the frequencies GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G) it work or not?
Please someone answer this last question .
Once converted, will the converted LS980 support the frequencies of D802 ( GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 850/900/1900/2100 (3G), LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 (4G)) instead of the LS980 frequencies ?

Simple answer is "No" . because frequencies are hardware things. we can only change softwares. LS980 will not have D802's frequencies by anyway.

Yes there is a way to do it but I don't know, me too I'm searching for this solution, because I bought a used LS980, and when I plugged it into PC the LG Support tool ask me if I want to upgrade the software of the phone (Into Lollipop) and the actual version at that time was D80230e, I let the authorized the LG Tool to download the update, and when finished, everything goes wrong the phone became unusable, when I push in a zone it react in another, and it was really hard to achieve the first steps of the configuration, when finished I decided to open the phone and look at the motherboard and bingo I found that it's an LS980, then I downloaded the LS980 firmware, I flashed it, and everything became OK, except the lost IMEI, then I tried to resotre the EFS backup that I done before that I upgrade it with LG Tool, and then the phone stay on the LG logo...Right now my phone is out of service, I use it as camera and nothing else...I'm searching for solution every time but I found anything...Is there any solution ?
What about changing motherboard only, will that work ?

On order to restore your IMEI you've just to flash your phone with the ZVD version and let the OTA updates install,then you'll recover your IMEI, but if you flash again with the ZVD you will lose it again

Hello friends,
I have an unlocked Sprint LS980, which i was using for GSM India(I am from India). Two days ago phone shut down on its own i tried booting into download mode which made it to boot again.
now i am facing multiple problems First of all battery drains very fast (50%+ overnight without any use) which was normal before this incident. Secondly there is NO NETWORK Coverage, i thought it locked again and unlocked again. I have also tried flashing the stock rom and unlocking steps again, but to no use. Problems still exist. Is there anybody to help
Thank you
Someone kindly help me
i think you shoud kdz and flash a rom cook (cloudy rom,mahdi,slimkat,...).about network, in network setting, you try to change to another mode such as 2g,3g,lte,..
if i flash a rom cook, can it be unlocked then? (without code) like:-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2655133
By the way, i tried flashing 4.2.2 almost 3 times, battery drain is still persistent. Do i suppose that battery died in a day?
Hi @any_thing,
LS980 user here from India... Unlocked.
Simply flash .tot of zv8 or zva & root using IO root or towelroot & then perform the unlock procedure.
After that take OTA to KK [ ZVD]
Also may I know from where u bought it ? ebay.in ?

I was tinkering with my new T-Mobile LG Leon LTE (MODEL NO : LG-H345) and broke the cellular service (installed Xposed for Lollipop and com.android.phone keeps stopping, tried Fix Permissions, doesn't work). Does anyone here have a Leon LTE or just have the stock ROM laying around? I've got TWRP installed, so that's not a problem.
I can make a back up but i have the lg Leon MS345 (metro PCs)

This links to H345 not MS345, IT'S NOT METRO FIRMWARE. The person who asked needed T-Mobile so they probably ran into no problem, but notice the file name on mega download. Thanks though, have you flashed HH firmware on MS devices? Does it work, what differences are there?

It is for Metro, I test it , wel there are some difference like you have Voice calls via Wi-fi, the notification bar have small changes too , but not a big deal and it's android 5.1.1 . For me Signal wasn't working cause i'm at Greece
no
no it's for T-Mobile, i flashed it and it's got tmobile boot and apps, but a locked boatloader that won't allow me to install twrp, so wheres the " i knew what i was talking about " button? oh thanks, ive now got a basic not really supported T-Mobile device. A little misinformation and lack of due diligence just took the fun out of owning this device.

it is a big deal, i just flashed it and ended up with aa T mobile device. Your in Greece, I'm sure there's more important things to focus on for you, and i did take my own risks, but thanks anyway.
As i search to unlock your bootloader it's a simply option in developer options.

Anyone have the stock ROM, kdz, for LGL33L? LG Sunset.
I've asked elsewhere but so far, nothing.
I was in the same problem because last month I got a new LG Leon (H340Y) with all that annoying icons and boot screen the carrier use to put. So, I was looking for a stock ROM without all of it. Googling here a there I've found this page
lg(dash)firmware(dash)rom(dot)com
Hope it works.

Exact same problem lol so what happened? If you never found a solution I'll try to post one if i figure it out.
Hi, i live in Argentina, i recently have buy it one galaxy s4 i9500 whit one rom by "Entel" and was an amazing rom, but the phone have problems with the tactile buttons after an update from samsung, the buttoms are "the back" and "tools" the light ones at the bottom of the screen, then i have installed another rom, from sammobile, and the sound, the star booting screen disappear . . . so i wanna go back to the previous rom . . . but i don't know what it is... only i remember its the logo in the star boot screen was like the intel logo, only this say Entel, and the sound its awesome, the notification sound was amazing too, like robot buttons, so please... if anyone here knows wich kind of rom is this. . .please, tell me, thank you very much.
pd: when i buy it the phone, the rom have lollipol installed.
Isn't Entel a Chilean provider?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9500/CRC/
hi, i downloaded and installed but its not Entel rom, so, i try whit the Peru rom now, thanks
Many carriers in the same country use exactly the same phone except that each carrier will sometimes add their own apps to the ROM.
In Canada, Rogers, Telus, Fido, Bell, Koodo, and Virgin all use the same s4 (sgh-i337m) and I can flash Rogers stock ROM to a Telus i337m with no problem.
