Help please - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 GI9505 used locked to EE.
I wanted to unlock it and found on ebay unlocking for £5...
from
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271624591845
So I thought I'd try that.
Then it required the phone to be rooted so I rooted it with towelroot and everything was fine...
Then I selected gi9505 to unlock my phone it came up with a error...
22:55:19 - ADB Device: GT-I9505

22:59:38 - MSL Bypass: Failed Restoring Backup
22:59:38 - Restore Done, Rebooting phone..
ERROR: Bypass Failed.. Please try again
Now when I put a sim card in I get a white no entry signal icon instead of the option to put the sim card unlock code in box?
Please can someone help
IMEI number above..deleted by me for safety.
Thanks

Exactly My PM! @AntaresOne
His baseband is I9505XXUFNC4
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Free mobile app

@DeepankarS
As I wrote in PM:
Sounds like a bad efs, a backup should ALWAYS be made before touching the simlock things.
In S4 EFS contains IMEI, simlock infos, some radio calibration data, gyroscope sensor calibration data, bluetooth & wifi MAC addresses, some carrier things, DRM stuff and some other things..

What recovery do you use???
Thanks for your response.
I'm a complete newbie.
I'm not sure, how do I find out ?
All I did was install the standard ROM by downloading it, copy it to the sd card and restarting whilst pressing Vol+, Vol- & the power button on my U8650.
Then I rooted it by restarting whilst holding down Vol+ & Power and then selecting the root.zip.
After that I tried the same with your zip !!
That's all I've done since I've had the phone.
OK, not so much of a newbie anymore.
Managed to install a CWM and then your ROM
Seems a bit slower. But it's beautiful.

how increase volume like cyanogenMod

How can I change the weather widget to a european city ?
When I try to change the location, it only seems to recognize chinese.
Problem with mobile networking
Hello i have encountered only 1 problem with your rom (or is it my mistake?) and it's about mobile internet.I can't get it to function ... It can find all available and says it has registered on the one I want but then there's no internet...some1 pls help
Hi,
I had a similar problem.
Eventually, I figured out that I had to manually add the APN.
This is done in
Setting - Wireless & Networks - Mobile networks - Access Point Names
Hope this helps.
damn i knew it was about that..but idk how to set up an APN i'm kinda new to all this(tele2 croatia)

IMEI backup/restore tool for Samsung Galaxy S4 Active GT-I9295
Brought to you by AntaresOne​
Explanation
The Qualcomm variant of Galaxy S4 doesn't have IMEI stored in EFS as most people think, it's stored in another place. Partitions to backup/restore are 8, each is required by the system to have IMEI. These are: EFS, modemst1, modemst2, m9kefs1, m9kefs2, m9kefs3, backup and fsg. Sometimes may happen that while modding your phone you lose IMEI, that's why I made this tool. It doesn't do miracles, so if you lose IMEI and don't have a backup, you're lost.
Features
Complete IMEI backup
Autozipping of saved partitions
Installation
Download tool from the link below
Put the zip file in your sdcard
Reboot in recovery
Install zip from sdcard
Choose downloaded zip file
Reboot system
Usage
When installed, the "imeibkp" executable goes in /system/bin. Obviously root is a must. This is not an app, so to run it you must use Terminal Emulator. It's very user-friendly and n00b-approved (joking :laugh, normally you shouldn't run into issues while using it.
Open Terminal Emulator
Write su and press enter (this is to obtain root access)
Invoke this tool by writing imeibkp and pressing enter
To restore just invoke again imeibkp
In case you want to export your backup, it is in /sdcard/IMEIBackup (Internal Memory on PC through USB connection)
If you change ROM you'll lose this tool, in this case just follow again Installation steps
Download
IMEI Backup tool is hosted on my AndroidFileHost

Try flashing back to V10A via TOT, then upgrade regularly via LG Mobile Support Tool (it will automatically first upgrade to KK, only then to LP, so you can choose your version that way). V20* doesn't work properly in some cases.

you're supposed to Replace %IMEI1% and %IMEI2% with your first and second IMEI number, you can find it at the sticker the back of your phone, open the case.
replace %COM% with number of your comport when you open the device manager of your PC.
I'm at lollipop now, but no success rewriting IMEI, look this screenshot.

My phone is rooted.

Lenovo k6 note recieves calls, but does't make calls or use data!

hello guys,
I rooted my phone, and since the moment I rooted it. it put a dash on my sim card sign on the notification bar. although when I lock the mobile I see my network operator appear on lock screen.
the phone receives calls and doesn't make calls. and also one other thing I noticed is that I can't allow apps permissions from the message box that appears in app. I need to go into settings to enable them from settings.
help me on this
as u can see in the screenshot, it says Vodafone in lock screen and sim card slot is empty in notification bar, so it recieves calls, and doesn't make outbound calls or connect to data.

So no serious issues. Just OS has some problems. Try factory resetting it. Else download stock firmwsre and flash it. Dont downgrade if you are doing that. You will loose your baseband.
could you refer to the most trusted source on how to flash stock firmware please. I always try it and fail.
