[Q] Custom Roms for GT-I9507

Hi All,
I just got my Galaxy S4 GT-I9507 (optus AU) and noticed there is not much reference to it here.
Does anyone know if the guides for root, flashing etc are compatible with this model and if there are any limitations on loading a custom rom?
Thanks

I just received my 9507 this morning from Virgin (AU) (who use Optus network) as a replacement for my dead screen 9505.
Any luck with digging up more information? Have you tried flashing?

Anyone? Is there no root for the Galaxy S4 i9507? Would it work through Odin like it would i9505 as it has the same chipset?
Since no one replied, I decided to take a risk. I was able to root my i9507 with the CF-ROOT made for i9505. I will also risk installing a custom rom and get back to you with an update!

Yeh saw that post...
Did anyone else try it?

I was able to root, install CWM 6.0.3.2 and flash a CM 11 port using the same tools and techniques for the GT-I9505.

thanks for the info. any issues? anything that is not working?

Everything runs well, no issues.

What method did you use to root and install a custom recovery?
I'n trying to flash the cf auto chainfire using odin, but i'm being told off for there being no PIT file supposedly.
EDIT: Disregard that, the issue appears to be that I had my cable plugged into a USB 3.0 port.

Flashing any modem on this variant is next to impossible.
Flashing roms is fine, but i can't seem to flash any modems lol.

Same here all 4.4 roms lose signal as soon as I out the device to sleep. I need to reboot to get optus coverage again. I could not flash any modem. I think we need a 4.3 compatible modem to come out for the 9507

Hi,
I have been playing around with a few Roms some work most don't, The signal loss can be temp fixed by putting the mobile into Aircraft mode or turning off the data then re starting the programs.
Hopefully our i9507 Modem problem will be fixed soon (with the help of the genius`s on this forum)

I just received my I9507 today, it updated to 4.3 when I connected it to my WiFi.
I enabled Developer options by tapping on the build number...
I want to root it, but haven't tried anything else yet...
I have since rooted it by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577856

Are you getting the data dropouts like others stated?
Really want to root my gt-i9597 but worried the aus band will get lost ect.
Also what about knox or whatever that voids your warranty is there any way around that?

Hi
Tried some kit kat roms a while ago and had dropouts so I updated to stock JB.... 4.3. I haven't noticed any drop-outs since.
Knox is a hardware level issue. It cannot be reset and it will void your warranty. What I understand is that once
your phone is rooted the knox displayed when entering download mode goes from 0*1. Have a look at this thread to explain knox.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577856
And previous post for how to root...... Im assuming a typo i9597 is i9507
If you use a smart dock >>>I've had some issues with cpu temps and charging when docked in the smart dock.
cpu temps have been excess of 80c and not charging when the charge icon is displayed.
I used an aftermarket usb charger from jaycar and removed a usb extension cable to try to minimises voltage drop.
And also removed a heap of bloatware with android tuner. So far so good.

Thanks for heads with the thread replies Fella's, Thought I'd be stuck out in the world, with a a standard 4G samsung phone.. Eeeek!
Thanks for GTi9505 CF Root via odin... Couldnt be easier, and something in the setup reported it had disabled knox Too!
This Custom recovery worked for me!

And I was able to get rid of the Optus Boot animation with this S5 animation... I was on 4.3 though,

Yes APN settings are correct, I am with Virgin Mobile here in Australia, still not working called up Virgin and confirmed the settings. Is there a known issue with Nexus 4 radio?

[Q] Problems after rooting I337UCUFNI1

After rooting I337UCUFNI1, my S4 randomly shows up an error message:
"unable to detect SIM card".
The frequency is at least once per day.
So I brought my phone back to ATT warranty department.
They flashed a stock 4.4.2 ROM.
Then this problem never happens again..
Not sure if that is about the kernel flash thing or not.

How did you root that build number? I was rooted then my phone done an ota update and now towel root doesn't work anymore. So far I don't see anyway to do it. Please let me know what you used . Thanks

Help: T Mobile LTE not working on Android 5.1 Stock. Rooted.

Hello everyone. I just decided to update my device to 5.1. I did a clean install. I downloaded the proper radios and changed my APN to match what is suggested. I even changed my network type to LTE only. For some reason I can't get Internet to work though.

The Nexus 4 doesn't officially support LTE, so you'll need to flash an older modem (which would need root). Google disabled LTE awhile ago due to some regulations.

Here is the answer to your problem.... You need to install the LTE Modem Enabler V 2.13 The link is here. I worked for me
Here is the link to the post
For anyone here Who has just updated Nexus 4 Lollipop 5.1 and have lost 4G lTE on T-mobile or other carriers here is a link to a post that will solve your problem. Check it out. This is not the enabler app on Google play.
[5.0.2][01/07][v2.11] Nexus 4 LTE Enabler
I hope this helps some Nexus 4 users

Thank You so much for the help. I finally got LTE now.

Perfectly good S4 (GT-I9500) rarely connects to cell service after OTA upgrade. Help!

Hi all, I have a GT-I9500 GSM (Iraqi firmware I9500XXUHPB3, 5.0.1) Galaxy S4 which I am using in the US on AT&T's network. Bought the phone secondhand and have been using it for years - worked absolutely perfect. A while back received an OTA upgrade notification and allowed it. Starting immediately afterwards, phone will rarely connect to the cell phone network (not even talking about data here, phone calls/SMS aren't working!). Once every few minutes to every few hours and shortly after reboot it will pick up the signal, but then within seconds it's back to no network connection.
The update installation was pretty quick so I'm not sure what actually got upgraded - I'm wondering if it was the modem? Anyway my question is: what would you suggest to a newbie when it comes to phones (with plenty IT experience in PCs) as a way to try fixing it? I'm perfectly fine with attempting to flash/root it, though I've never done it before, it seems like a straightforward enough process. However there doesn't seem to be a US firmware for this phone. I'm thinking Canadian firmware/modem might be the best way to go? Should I try the modem first, or firmware? I'd love to not have to replace this perfectly functioning (hardware-wise) phone if I can avoid it - don't have the funds for a replacement right now. Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Phone details:
Bootloader/PDA: I9500XXUHPB3
CSC: I9500OJVHPB1
Baseband: I9500XXUHPB1

Update: solved ?
(No, not solved. It looked optimistic for a while, but still no signal)
I followed instructions you will find by searching Google for:
"Update Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 with Android 5.0.1 Lollipop Official Firmware" on HowToRootMobile
(I'm a new user here so it won't let me post a link)
to flash a Russian 5.0.1 firmware.
After a reasonable signal for a short while, I'm now back to looking at the circle with a line across it (no signal).

I have the same case but my s4 is I9505 and i did not do anything to the phone not even root it just stopped working

I am becoming increasingly convinced that this is planned obsolescence. Your phone may have installed the same update without prompting. Needless to say my next phone will not be a Samsung.
