Doesn't look like anyone has figured out how to get the hands free activation to work on flashed phones on the S4. Therefore, to get your 3G data working, not only will you have to manually enter values in Profile 0, you will also need to put the correct values in Profile 1.

[Q] T-mobile AWS enabling on sgh-i337

Okay guys, I read the other posts and watched the video. I followed everything step by step. It worked until I went to install the new file. It stopped at 5%. I don't know what to do now.
If someone could link me a way to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.
I've been using these forums to mod my phones forever. Thanks for everything.

I'd give up. I am on MF3, it works fine on that. I recently opened another thread about this very topic asking if updates would break the AWS support on HSPA+ with Tmobile. It does, and it doesn't appear with anything newer than MF3 that you can successfully update it. On my friends phone who had it flashed with MF3 to begin with and had AWS was updated to MK2 and it did away with the AWS support and now cannot be flashed to support it. So if AWS support is important for you on AWS I would NOT upgrade the OS at all.
Is there not a way to flash back to the old one so I can do the AWS unlock? I really want to use T-Mobile prepaid. They seem to be the best prepaid service available. Currently using net10 and it sucks. They throttle something fierce. T-Mobile on the other hand supposedly does not.

You can flash the MF3 modem only and it will work. That's what I had to do when I upgraded to MK2. Just flash the MF3 modem found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496517 with safestrap and then follow the AWS guide.

[Q] Please Help: How to get Sprint S4 to work on Straight Talk

Hey guys, Right now i am sitting here very confused. I have two Samsung Galaxy S4's from Sprint. They were given to me by my god sister but i cant figure out how to make them work for Straight Talk. They are both running 4.4.2 and the base band is L720VPUFNAE. I was told by sprint last night that they could be unlocked and that all i needed was a MSL number. I was given the MSL for both phones already but don't know what im suppose to do to the phones to be able to unlock them. I have looked through several threads throughout several forums and i have tried several codes such as *#0011# as well ##3423# but nothing works. I cant find any concrete answers that don't completely confuse me. So my question is...Is there anyway to actually get this phone working on Straight Talk? Does it have to flashed or unlocked first and if so how to actually do that? Is there anyway to do this without rooting the phones? If not whats the easiest way to root the phone to make this possible? Please im Just looking for some help.

At one point did you Odin the MDC or MDL modem ? You have to in order to successfully unlock the phone.

If successful
No I didn't I guess I will try again... If I'm assuming correctly once I do this I should be able to just put a straight talk SIM card in the slot to use the phone

IF you follow everything. And perform the international unlock plus domestic. And put the Sim card in plus set the APNs to the correct ones then you should be fine.

NAE
Since my baseband is NAE do i just use the original file or use the one for NAE mention at the end of the international unlock thread

Everythign was going perfectly fine until i got booted into philz Recovery. In the video it wasnt stated that a new rom had to be placed on the phone until after everything was wiped.
I didnt have anything on the SD hence i didnt know i had to install from the phone. So i picked the option to reboot but now I cant get past "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen on Start up. I tried to re flash the phone through odin but everything i try fails. I dont know what to do now. I cant start up or get into Recovery Mode, only download mode. When i try to get into the recovery mode all i get is a message saying "Firmware upgrade encounter an issue"
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.

(QA) Flashing T-Mobile rom on Verizon Note 3 Retail WIFI Calling

Does anybody know or has had success flashing a t mobile rom, whether it be stock or customized rom, on a retail Verizon note 3?
I've read reports that flashing using Odin will brick...
​But how about using safestrap.
The reason why I want to, is because I would like to completely switch over to tmobile from Verizon. But still keep my phone...
As well has anyone had experience with getting wifi texting/calling to work on a Vz Note 3 retail?
I wish for this thread to be a place where devs, users are able to share and maybe find a solution. Any help or advice would greatly be appreciated
I did flash a t mobile rom on my verizon note 3. I used safestrap. I was getting errors about wifi calling and it would give me a SIM card error every now and then. But over all it worked fine. Just add Verizon's data info in so your text messaging will work.
Cant get tmobile to work
Can someone please point me in the right direction........i am just trying to get my VZ note 3 to get tmo services to work, but no matter what i do, nothing works...
I have tried on the stock rom before rooting or anything following these steps listed in OP== NO DICE
I have rooted, installed safestrap 3.75 b4 and tried the steps again===NO DICE
I have installed a custom rom, specifically jasmine rom 2.0( which requires to flash the NC2 modem afterwards, which i did successfully) in hopes that that would help and====NOOOO DICEEEE
i can't access any service menu listed in this whole WEBSITE, none will work, not even an app from the play store that executes them....
I just keep getting that stupid INVALID SIM error and the bars indication stay blank and nothing happens.....WHAT THE #&@% AM I MISSING????
I HAVE NEVER RAN INTO SO MANY ISSUES BEFORE, im not a newbie in flashing stuff or anything like that, been using XDA since teh Windows Mobile days in HTC's prime, but this has be off the wall.
ANY HELP at all would be appreciated....since im the only asswhole that cant seem to have tmobile work on the VZ Note 3.......

I went in to the Mobile networks Setting and added the APN info for Verizon.
Has anyone ever tried flashing the T-Mobile modem to activate the WCDMA 1700 band? Is that's what's needed to activate this band or is there more to it? I know wih LG devices, by flashing the complete software of a different carrier changes the band settings as well
I'm assuming no one has any interest in doing this? WCDMA 1700 is needed for HD voice for T-Mobile....

Enable LTE Band 4, withour root?

Dear all,
I foolishly updated to 4.4.4 and now am stuck with Note 3 on T-mobile without LTE. Does anyone know how to maybe at least temp-root it, or another way to get into Service Mode?
Thank you for all help ahead

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.
