Why did we post this message in the general area and here to? The Mods would have moved the other one here.
Your device is unlocked, no need to worry about different carriers.

Like Ax said don't worry about carrier, but you should be concerned with your model of phone. You have a GT-i9500 which has different hardware than the GT-i9505 and our SGH-I337(M). So i'd stick to your forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2286

After googling for I9500XXUAMDK it looks like your phone's firmware is russian. So, your problem is the radio hardware for mobile networks do NOT match to the network standards the carriers in US and Canada use. Mostly it's a matter of used frequencies and maybe communication protocols which differ from Europe to America.
You CAN try to flash another firmware with different modem which match better to your country but this won't negate any hardware limitations. I suggest to check http://www.sammobile.com for a firmware matching to your country, or your carrier. But this is just a suggestion; I won't give any guarantee it will work.
Good luck.

Which Firmware did you try to install? According to your problem description you are most likely trying to downgrade, which is not possible under certain circumstances.

For example - Build data: 04.03.2014, N9005XXUENC2 KSA (Saudi Arabia) KitKat 4.4.2. The device doesn't understand anything. Is it possible to fix the problem ????

Apparently you can only downgrade AP but not the modem. First flash your new ROM, then flash your current modem version afterwards.

Is my Galaxy S4 a fake?

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4, GT-i9500. But I suspect that this might be a fake.

My concern stems from the Build Number being DONGCHOU.V1 being that Dongchou is a city in China, the various CSC codes being CHN, the model reporting as GT-i9500 but the Product Code reporting as SGH-I337ZRACHN.
I've been unable to get root on this phone nor can I load a recovery.
Does anyone recognize the DONGCHOU.V1 build number? Or give me a pointer to how I can root and/or flash a custom recovery?
This appears to be exactly what it seems: a 9500 with AT&T firmware. And whenever I see people saying they purchased one of these off ebay I tell them to return the phone and purchase off Swappa instead. You may have a lot of work ahead of you to get this working, and even if you do you still have to deal with AT&T's encrypted bootloader in customizing the device.
Note that the 9500 is not available in the US, and thus NO 9500 should ever have AT&T firmware.
So if it's a 9500 with AT&T firmware, then it either wasn't made by Samsung or it was modified after manufacture. (If I put my tinfoil hat on, I could come up with all kinds of nasty scenarios.) Either way, it's going to be difficult or impossible to do anything with it.
Thanks for your help.
Modified after manufacture more likely. Posts regarding these phones have been coming up with some frequency over the last two months, and in each case the phone turned out to be an AT&T S4 with modified or otherwise incorrect firmware. Yours may be the first where the device is correct but the firmware wrong, but I wouldn't bother cracking open the phone to find out.
samsung s4 i9505 at back sticker & even in "about" but i337 in recovery mode
hi guys, i have got a Samsung s4 which is showing a circle sign within line in it at network. i checked the IMEI in about is "null" & even in *#06#. i tried to re-flash it with Odin 3.09 it says "fail (auth)". i tried to delete data & cache in recovery mode but suddenly checked it is showing SGH-I337 in there. i am totally confused whether i have Samsung i9505 or i337 in my hands.
info regarding s4 in about
model number GT-I9505
android version 4.4.2

build number KOT49H.I9505XXUFNB7
IMEI unknown

Product Code nothing
Original CSC code ATT
Active CSC code TGY
PDA version I9505XXUFNB8
CSC version I337ATTFNB1
Baseband version nothing
Android version 4.4.2
Mobile operator nothing
this is the info from the app where "nothing" means blank field.
Whatever model appears on the download mode screen is the model of S4, regardless of what the sticker may say. In this case, an AT&T Frankenphone (SGH-I337).

for me is false, i9500 uses Exynos , not Qualcomm Snapdragon 600
I missed that about the CPU when the post was made back in January, and thus the OP's device is just like all the other Frankenphones.Even so, my advice to return the phone applies regardless.

You have a GT-I9500, you need to flash THAT firmware, not for SPH-L720

No network

Hi everybody,
Here is my problem, suddenly my S6 edge did not want to connect to the SFR network or any other, so I sent in warranty but this diagnostic software problem and I am returning due to oxidation (he never touched the water, can be steam).
After that we returned to me in Binary Factory, with no more firmware on the device. In this mode, which is useful only for testing, it was connecting well SFR network.
Then blocked with my phone so I installed the following ROM: G925FXXU3COI9 France (XEF) - Android 5.1.1 Lollipop - (September 2015).
I can finally refill my phone but no different, he still wants more connect to the network ...
If it helps you Phone Info tells me this:
Manufacturer / Brand: Samsung
Phone Model: SM-G925F
production date: 2015.10.13
Version date: Fri September 25 2015 4:06:47 p.m. KST
CSC original name: TPH
Name of the current CSC: TPH
Product code: SM-G925FZKATPH
bootloader version: G925FXXU3COI9
baseband version: G925FXXU3COI9
PDA version of: G925FXXU3COI9
version of the SCC: G925FOXX3COJ1
android Version: 5.1.1
hardware / installed: samsungexynos7420 / universal7420 [64-bit]
mobile operator: 20801
So I tried the recovery mode:
wipe cache partition
data / factory reset
reboot your device
And finally my IMEI is the same as the original one.
If anyone could help me.
Thank you guys.

If you cant get internet connection, it also could be related with your carrier provider's apn settings and etc. too~ I hope you already set them properly.
BTW this is S6 Edge Plus (G928*) forum fyi

Oh sorry for the mistake,
By the way I already set up apn settings properly and it still doesn't work after that.
