Guys I know this is not the right place to post my device Is a samsung galaxy s4 gt-I9505 previously I was using two Sammy phones a galaxy grand gt-i9082 and a galaxy s3 gt-I9300
My problem is this phone is running 4.3 and is carrier unlocked in India it belongs to UAE so if I flash a firmware from UAE will I get the career locked here???I checked sammobile it says UAE firmware (etisalat) may be the career their I don't want my career to be locked after flashing that firmware via odin how can I do it? How can I check pda csc and modem for my device pls don't consider as spam I checked and the are no dedicated forums do help me and if moderators find this irrelevant they're free to warn or delete this thank you all![emoji29]

1. Make a backup of your Internal memory.
2. Make a factory reset (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything.)
3. Dial *#1234# and attach what appears.

No. You can install Kies 3 and it will tell ya your correct CSC like in the pic attached. Tell me what CSC appears in Kies 3 and I will tell ya what firmware you have to download from Sammobile :)

Flashing new firmware won't lock ur phone if your phone is unlocked legally by IMEI (no for service mode coz this only worked in android 4.2.2). You can update directly to android 4.4.2 if you wish without problems :)

But remember verify your CSC with Kies3 before flash any firmware if you wanna receive OTA updates in future and avoid problems with other firmwares. Attach one screenshot of Kies 3 and I will help ya better.
