[Q] Need some information about I9502 (Samsung galaxy S4 Dual)

I had purchased an I9502 through olx.in, last week.
Second hand.
Due to rare users, there is no dedicated thread on XDA for my device
Now, many questions arises.
I had updated to official lollipop (5.0.1), by SAMMOBILE's official ROM. After upgrading, my second SIM cant connect to network. So I revert back it to KK (4.4.2). Still the problem persists !!!!! . I couldn't use it as a dual sim phone Is PDA and CSC version is important while flashing? or we could install any PDA/CSC rom version on samsung phones? I don't know the original ROM so, I had downloaded all firmwares available at sammobile and tested. only 2 of them managed to register my SIM(first) on network. Is it a hardware issue? or by a wrong ROM ? anyway now my mobile admitted at hospital and specialized doctors have been studying his disease

Is there anyone using dual SIM without any errors?

The PDA and CSC are vital to ensure you get the right regional variant for your device. The only exception is if the phone is unlocked for use on another carrier, in which case you can use a ROM from any region. Where you have the dual SIM version however, you only have one region available to you, but with multiple Android versions. The firmware here is the latest for your device. Do a factory reset before flashing through Odin.

I am totally disappointed.
My technician said that it had lost IMEI !

What will I do?

Is there anyway to recover its IMEI?
I had followed all guidelines available through search.
But, I couldn't...
Please help me on this....

Flash just the modem through Odin. You can extract it from the firmware download. Sometimes the modem needs to be flashed twice before everything functions correctly.
Other than that, I'm not aware of anything else software-wise that can be done. You'll need to take the phone to Samsung themselves and have them look at it.

Unable to revert to stock rom

I have an unlocked Galaxy S8. I flashed it with the stock Sprint rom to get Sprint visual voicemail and wifi calling features. Doing so changed the model of my phone from SM-G950U1 to SM-G950U. Now, I am unable to flash back to the stock rom because Odin says the model number doesn't match. What can I do to revert back to the stock rom for the unlocked S8 with region code XAA? All help is appreciated.

I recently reverted back from T-Mobile firmware to unlocked S8 as it used to be. You need to use custom Odin, not the regular one.
Do the section where is says "Flashing Unlocked Firmware"

S8, download mode shows Knox 0x0 but S-health and other related app say rooted

Hello everybody,
I am totally new so please forgive me if I ask something stupid.
So I got this phone, S8. In Download Mode, it shows Knox is not tripped (0x0) but my S-health and Samsung Pay doesn not work. And I am sitting at android 7 and cannot upgrade.
Pics attached below.
I know nothing about rooting or flashing so a little more details would be super great. Thank you guys.

Go in the recovery what version does it say at the top. Also what model is the device its written on the back next to imei number.
Looks like you are on carrier locked device with locked bootloader and rooted rom.
Your solution is to flash same version of stock firmware.

Hi Vcek,
It is S8, SM-950U. Unlock carrier. Android 7 version, G950USQU2BQK5
So in the end, is it rooted or none-rooted phone? The Knox 0x0 confused me alot.
I did some google and someone says sth about flashing with Odin, and flash all of the options such as Bootloader, AP, CP, CSC and so.
Then my question is,
1. Will flashing with Odin using the firmware I download updato.com (could not download from SamMobile) trip the Knox?
2. By saying stock firmware, do you mean "official" firmware or else? Like I can use a firmware for T-Mobile, android 9 (Pie) or I have to use a T-Mobile, android 7 version?
3. The firmware I got from updato.com is for AP flashing, so for other options like CP, CSC, where can I download the official files?
4. I should not flash bootloader, should I? Since it will trip Knox?
5. Is there any better sites than updato.com and SamMobile? One is so freaking slow and the other is not downloadable.
Thank a lot for helping me!

Hi all,
The problem was solved. I just flashed all of the options with a stock room using Odin.

I don't know which ROM to install for my phone, because CSC and Baseband and PDA are different. It cannot be updated by OTA in settings. My android right now is 8.0.
