Thanks for the quick reply. I thought the i337M was just a provider branded i9505.. guess theres a big diff
Any idea where I could find i337M odin files?
The reason im asking all this is this phone lags a LOT! and Gallery app is almost unusable from the lag. Any ideas? Thanks

First use Motochopper to root so you can use Titanium Backup to freeze the bloat (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248 this one will work).
Then you can install Goomananger so you can install TWRP (menu=>install open recovery): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
Finally, if you're feeling brave, you can do a backup of your phone first then try installing CyanogenMod: http://get.cm/?device=jfltecan
The Canadian model is jfltecan. Remember to install GAPPS (http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip)
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE.

unfortunately there is no firmware for (M) variant on the net. There is AT&T (USA) firmware, but for I337,
any way try to wipe cache via recovery.

Thanks for your help
Whats strange about it is the fact that right away, it had lag. I will try wiping the cache and will let you know.
I had an error when I tried wiping the cache.
Should I install a custom recovery as suggested earlier?

Someone else tried already. Apparently it will run. but without a Canadian modem to flash, there will be no network signal or wifi working.
When we have a modem to flash we should be OK.

Its SLIGHTLY better after clearing the cache via TWRP, but still lots of lag. Dont get it, from such a fast phone, there shouldnt be ANY lag! My Nexus 4 was SOO much smoother and faster (yet clearly not in benchmarks)

I too have an SGH-i337M (TELUS). Did you do the official update to build I337MVLUAMDJ? I had originally bought my phone on the unfinished I337MVLUAMDC and when I did the update a lot of the lag went away. However, I still had to freeze a lot of unwanted apps though settings > app manager, however I did come across a list of apps that were safe to remove/disable on the S3 (Some, not all are also found on the S4). You can see the list HERE.
Hopefully we'll see a list like this for the S4 soon.
[EDIT]
Also to note, I also came from a Nexus 4 and can definitely feel the difference as well, but the Nexus also didn't have bloatware running.

Mine came with the official build I337MVLUAMDJ and it was laggy as hell!
After rooting and removing lots of bloatware, it was still slow.
What cured my lag, was downloading the stock Firmware from Kies (and saving the file from temp folder, instead of using kies for the restore) and flashed it with odin. After restoring my backup from MyBackup Pro, its fast!
Why should we need to do all this work for a brand new phone. Good job Samsumg lol

Oh cool, I guess that works too lol. I managed to fix a majority of my lag after running a recovery script called "PalaTool" which was originally released for the Galaxy S III. The tool was designed to remove bloatware and allowed you to install optional UI changes and apps that could optimize things like Fast Dormancy, etc. Running the tool unfortunately doesn't remove the bloat, but it did with the Seeder Entropy Pool.
I rooted my phone with motochopper, then I wiped my phone and now when I try to update my phone it says "Your device has been modified. software updates are not available."

It all depends how much security they put in the phone...this time thy were really anti-modding with the att version, locking our boot loader and creating a boot splash that tells the world you've rooted your phone..of course there is a way around that boot splash
Basically...things are changing, devices are getting more and more locked down...but the sgs4 isn't the first phone that doesn't allow rooted devices to be updated

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?

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!

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

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.

So I'm getting REALLY good at learning... How boot to roota phone. Unfortunately, this time is more serious. I used CF's autoroot. Odin confirmed success. But SuperSU claims that I don't have root. I am operating on limited data. Please, email first, then we can arrange phone call. I don't know how often I'll be able to check here,but I know that it'll be quickest and easiest (for me). Please any Senior Admin intimately familiar with CF, soft bricks, and SGS4. [email protected] 503-443-6862 pst.
You are not soft bricked at all. You're just saying Super user says you have no root access. Seems like you don't have the latest CF auto root for NAE. I would highly recommend that you remove your phone number.

Yeah try upgrading ctf auto root. Your tar my be outdated.
I believe that I am. When I plug in, white battery shows but doesn't appear to be charging. Also when turned on, white Samsung s4 shows, but don't actually boot. Bootloader functions but there are no files to unzip. I'm really in Oct my head, broke, and desperate. I know that it'll be a simple fix, but I'm going to need someone to talk me through it. I just don't know enough. Neither Samsung not sprint will help, thigh both have told me they support root.

Do you know what android version your phone was on? 4.2.2 4.3 or 4.4.2? I would say if you have access to a computer and internet to download the NAE tar that is in the development section by random45 and Odin it. The instructions are in the thread. Of course you have to be able to access download mode on your phone.

If and only if you have the Sprint S4, go to the thread already mentioned here and download the NAE .tar. Here's the link again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663619
Verify the MD5 sum, put your phone in download mode, and use ODIN to flash it. That is the only way your problem will be solved. I don't know what you mean exactly by limited data, but if you need to, you can download it in a library or something. It's a large file.
Ok. So first off Texas born and bred. Graduated at 14 years old. No broken grammar. I only have 1g available on my plan for the tablet. Unlimited on the phone. It is unevoquivically SPH-L720T.
FINALLY problem solved. Back to Samsung today. New tech. Apparently class 6 SD during root was the problem. Fixed free in Best Buy, by Samsung tech.
Now let's try this root again. If first you don't succeed. ...... lol.

Root with the LATEST version of CF-Autoroot from Chainfire's site; linked in the OP. That's should be this one
Then install any recovery you with. Either with GooManager or via PC Odin.
For recovery I'd recommend Philz philz_touch_6.08.9-jfltespr (You can use others but that has, for me proven the most reliable on 4.4 and most of the 4.3 builds). Builds are here
Hint if you install goomanager and flash a custom recovery you can then use that recovery to flash other recovery zips - either Philz, TWRP or CWM
And Tigard, I'm guessing your somewhere by the 99 and 217.
EDIT!!
You have the T version so don't do anything I said for the regular 720!!

I am going to caution you here, since you have the L720T. I think we all assumed that you were talking about the original L720. Do not use those NAE ROM threads that we linked you to, and whatever root method you use, make sure it works on the L720T. For future questions, make sure you specify what phone you have. This is primarily a forum for the older L720 model phone, not the tri-band phone that you have.
Actually, I had already tried those files several times Prior to you suggesting them. I'm just still shocked, and disbelieving that too low a class SD card caused the problem. Feedback?

I for one don't believe the card was the problem.
With no SD card at all, the phone should've booted no problem.
When I got my phone it didn't have a card in it - I did order a class10 at the same time but it didn't arrive as fast as my phone. I put in an older 8gb class 6 without issue.
Sh*ty sd card and it should boot just access it slowly, unless you did something to move system files to your external SD card before it failed.
Now I do know cards of any type and class can fail - and DO. But the fact that the card is bad shouldn't matter to booting - all that is off the internal storage.
Did they 'sell' you a new card or just give you another?
Seems all weird to me but who knows. Just glad you got it.

Actually, neither. I had bought my own. Mine also came without. I used the older 8G, until i could afford the class 10 16G. But that is what he said. I've had few problems since then, though haven't taken time to try another root yet.
I recently just bricked my 2nd replaced Galaxy S4 and it was on backorder this time. I got the sph-l720t model which is sprints triband model with sprint spark. Upon rooting (which was just as simple as 4.X.X) i found there are no customs roms with support, or mods (hotspot to be exact). Post all mods an new info you find in this thread:
if you SEARCH the 720T thread, you will see there are NO mods for the T version.
There is a 2.50 app that works just fine.

No dis-respect towards to anyone here on XDA, this is one of the best forums out there, but it is time to make it easy on other folks and make a sub section for SPH-L720T. To many post are mixed in with other SPH-L720 post.

I recently just bricked my 2nd replaced Galaxy S4 and it was on backorder this time. I got the sph-l720t model which is sprints triband model with sprint spark. Upon rooting (which was just as simple as 4.X.X) i found there are no customs roms with support, or mods (hotspot to be exact). Post all mods an new info you find in this thread:

All AOSP roms work. And even though Spark is faster, 4GLTE is just as fast. As far as it being noticeable. Spark is much faster. I'm currently running C-Rom as my daily driver and could not be any happier. I did notice if u let the battery die, you have to go to Recovery and hit Reboot. It's a nice fail-safe for someone that finds your phone lol.

When the phone is off, or dead and you connect it to your charger does it get stuck on the charging animation?

Yup. Freezes on battery animation but it is actually charging, but in order to boot u must go to recovery ( with button combo) and reboot from there and it boots up and youll see the boot animation.

That is what I thought. It is a problem on both the 720 and 720t models.

Yea it's a bug. But the workaround is so simple. I love TW but AOSP Roms such as C-rom (the one I am currently testing) is just running amazing.
