As you may or may not know, the Samsung Galaxy S4 - I9500 is not sold in the UK & IRE which is a crying shame.
Some people have decided to import the phone for use within the UK & IRE and now have a few issues with APN setup etc., this firmware is being released to solve a few of these issues.
Enjoy...
NOTE: If there is enough appreciation for this, I will consider to release future firmware updates for BTU. This is a factory (LOW) image and it will make a wipe of cache and data.
If you like my work, maybe you would like to say thanks by buying me a beer
I9500XXUAMDK_I9500OXXAMDB_BTU.zip
Please DO NOT mirror any of my files, thank you.
Thanks for this.
Downloading now!.
Great to have you with us in the S4 forums (coming from an ex-i9100 user).
Sorry for the wait guys I had to go out by the time the file finished downloading last night so I have installed it this morning & it runs fine so far!
Anyway just ran a speedtest and my network speeds have jumped up!!! indoors here used to be patchy on three uk, but now I'm getting:
69ms ping,
4.53Mb's dl,
1.60Mb's ul
all whilst indoors, I'd love to see the outdoors performance when I next go out!.
PS: previously I was lucky to get 1Mb's dl indoors on the other fw's
and just bare in mind this includes a CSC change so you will have to setup your device again and re-download your apps, but I think it is worth the effort considering that now I personally have seen almost 5x network speed improvements!.
Thanks again to Odia!.
*EDIT*
Here's a screenshot of a Speedtest (indoors in a bad signal area) on this fw:

Well that's an whole bunch of appreciation, thank you
Yes I will update the OP, I forgot to mention this is a factory (LOW) image and it will make a wipe.
Do you think you could you make one using the lastest build, XXUAME1, or at least tell how to make our own? I take it your using a 9505 CSC from a BTU rom and combining with 9500 firmware??
Sent from my GT-I9500
I am interested in this - I9500 using T-mobile in the UK. At the moment (using the original XXUAMDK) the phone seems to give very pessimistic signal strength values - rarely over 2 or 3 bars. Will the new version help this?

While testing ME1, I found the mobile signal to be unstable, only showing a few bars when it should be full signal, also the data signal was low causing bad downloads, MDK was a lot more stable using many of the popular UK networks.
i downloaded this file , now how to flash ??
via ODIN ?
if via odin we sould extract .zip file ?
via recovery menu ( update via sdcard ) ?
must phone be rooted to apply this flashfile ??
please reply & thanks
will this get OTA updates??
Nevermind...

Before I update my phone, I would like to know if I will be able to use odin to go back to 4.4.2 just in case... thanks
It's not just Telus. Looks like everyone except Rogers has updates available on sammobile.
Any fast download options that are free? Faster than 50 kb/s.
A new version of 4.4.2 just got released too after the 5.0.1 update for all carriers ...
maybe 5.0.1 has bugs ...
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-I337M/
Anyone install it ota yet? Is it still multicsc like usual? Does the *#272*IMEI# trick still work?
Lollipop 5.01 update
Will the CF-Auto Root for Canadian models work for this one?
Was able to install via ODIN, upgraded to 5.01, and was able to downgrade back to 4.4.2 via ODIN as well. CF-Auto-root works fine for 5.0.1. It has multi-csc as well.
I was on Goldeneye 51 and decided to Odin the Bell OC4 release in order to update the modem and provide a solid firmware base for Lollipop. I did not find that my version of CF root worked but did re-root by using Odin to flash Philz recovery and then flashing a zip for SuperuserSU 2.4.6 once the custom recovery was in place.
Now I shall wait for the next version of Goldeneye and install after using the vanilla version of the firmware while waiting.
Can you guys please upload to a better file server like Mega? I just spent 7 hours getting 80% from Rapidgator and then it stalled and died.
Anyone knows if the OTA update erase anything on the phone or it just kinda do a ''dirty flash''. I imagine it wouldn't do anything to the sd card but will the data on the device storage be affected?
Galaxy S4 completly stock on Koodo!
Thanks!

Hey is it better and more stable than V235 and doesthis have the same Malware problem like V236-7-8-9? ?
Assuming that you tested this rom or used this,does it have apps auto installing and causing lag.?

Are you aware that apps kept reinstalling in previous updates,im on v235 after 235 there are apps automatically
Installing,are you 100% sure about no auto-app installation? And this is official ota ? Or not? If you are a developer then can you make a twrp flashable version like someone made on coolpad forums..? Plz

You may have to update some Samsung apps for them to work. Also, night mode doesn't fully work (some Samsung apps not included in it). Also, much faster and smoother; however, slightly faster battery drain for me. All the new software is a plus though. The important bugs are similar to bugs on official betas for s9.

I would suggest you using modded odin. I also had an unlocked snapdragon S8 US variant SMG950U1 as well and when I flashed the Odin files for CRK1 my device became a Verizon S8 model SMG950U...CRK1 (no longer unlocked but has bloatware). Once the base model is CRK1, you have to download 2 update.zip files. CRK1 to CRL1 and CRL1 to DRL6.
Follow the instructions from the link provided from OP on the first post.
