I saw this, but no one has confirmed it to be working... no testimonies seen yet....
When sending text messages(SMS), to my contacts, They are ending up converting to a different format like if it were international friends. Because each time, the messages are being sent with a +1 international code before them.
Also because of this, my texts aren't getting delivered to my contacts .
And I have to often have to start a new thread with manually putting a zero(0) before sending a text each time.
I'm using the stock Message app.
P.S: This issue started when I updated to latest G900VVRU1ANI2 4.4.4 update.
Anyone else facing the problem or faced in the past and got it solved?
Why are you using a Verizon variant in Karachi? you should have one of the international versions.
The OP in the below linked thread is having the same problem as you:

Yes he has described the same problem which I'm also facing that's why I have already posted on his thread about the solution if he had found any.
BTW, You guys didn't face this problem?
Well if it is a GS4, then you are in the wrong sub-forum. lol
But no, I've never experienced this as I am using a VZW GS5 on a Verizon plan and network. It's probably because you are outside of the US that it's trying to input the +1 for you, and that's not going to work in Karachi.

Oops, that was a typo. I did buy a Verizon GS5 used.
No it was working perfectly fine before. The G900VVRU1ANI2 update created this issue.

Is it possible to Downgrade to the stock 4.4.2 Verizon firmware From 4.4.4 via ODIN ?
1 thing more: How do you find out whether you are having the Verizon Galaxy S5 variant or the Verizon Galaxy S5 Developer Version Variant?

I've never faced that problem. And I know you posted in that guy's thread. That was kind of my point of posting that link. No need for you to start a whole new thread of your own which is the exact same as that other guy's thread.

I just flashed from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 and forgot to do the NCG kernel thing, and then went back to 4.4.2 from 4.4.4 just fine. Worth a shot I guess. GLHF.
Anyone found a fix for this?
I really liked the NI2 update. Its buttery smooth and fingerprint scanner works really well !
Anyone?
Sorry if this question has been asked before.
I'm going to be upgrading phones soon, and I'm wondering if there are people still working on unlocking the bootloader on phones with the MF3 update or later? I understand that its possible it might never be unlocked, but I would feel better getting an s4 if I new there were people out there still trying to crack it...
I would prefer to be able to install cyanogenmod in the future, so I'm wondering if I should even go with the galaxy s4.
What do you guys think?
Also, if this is the wrong place for this question, let me know. Thanks!
My opinion is it will not be unlocked. This is an old device now and any devs who were working on it have moved on.

Yea, I was kinda thinking the same thing. Still, I'm tempted to go for the S4. I know its an older device, but being that it has a removable battery, and a sd card slot makes it one of my first choices. Can you suggest another phone that I should be looking at based on that?
Thanks!
Why not buy a used rooted unlocked S4 with an MDB or MDL bootloader? You can ask for a screenshot of the "About Phone" settings.

You can unlock bootloaders on S4 with Safestrap on the newest 4.4.4 NJ4 but can only use TouchWiz
roms

Yea, I knew you could do that, thanks for the heads up though!
If the Oneplus One wasnt so damn big, I would go with that... The s4/s5 is about as big as I would like to go with a phone...

Safestrap does not unlock the bootloader of the S4. Read all the info before you proceed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925

Right, good call. I guess I meant, I knew the part about touchwiz only roms. But yea, I've gone through that thread, and many others. I don't actually have a phone yet. I might just breakdown and get a nexus 5, but I'm still looking for an S4 on mdb, or mdl...
I found one on swappa, but the seller is unresponsive.
Get a T-Mobile S4. Is pretty much the same as the AT&T one, but with an unlocked boot loader.

I got my 32GB sgh-i337 Galaxy S4 running the MDL firmware off ebay a few months ago. Brand new in the box, never used, and everything. Paid $375 for it. The sellers name is "taylorwireless" with a 99.9% feedback rating. He has an S4 for sale right now under item number: 171557373643

Hey guys, sorry if this is a silly question. I am a long time Nexus user and new to Samsung. So many version numbers of the Note 4, I would like to know what version of lollipop I can download and flash on my US Tmobile Note 4. I think it's a 910T? But I don't see any roms listed for it directly.
Thanks a lot.
Anyone? Help please! I'd like to get lollipop.

Look under the tmobile note 4 section. I believe custom development or original development. All sorts of roms.

I have Locked S6 Edge from Sprint..I want to unlock
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge from Sprint and it is Locked to their carrier. But Since i will be using it outside USA i was hoping if this method can unlock it and so i can use any other SIM international. Please point me in the right direction.
Is this just international unlock or domestic?

I'm not in US. So, I can't test in US for domestic, it will work outside US. It will be the same KitKat

I'm not sure. I will receive Sprint S6 next some days. I will update after trying this. We will know that soon.
i get the unfortunately ssu.apk has stopped working , any way around this ?
A better way and one that worked is to use the GalaxyTools apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159
worked brilliant and sure shot. v3.18 works on lollipop.

Bad news, there is no any Custom ROM for Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
I will work around then posting results.
Hey guyz, Calling Sprint and asking them to unlock the phone for international use (your going on vacation to Europe ) is an easy way to do it.
If you can get Galaxy Tools to work for you it will also unlock your phone for international use.
I've read if your phone is post Feb 15 2015 and you own it outright it can be unlocked for US use... I don't know this for a fact so you would need to do your research... Or just call Sprint and ask for the policy details.
Hope this helps spme...
Thx!

Hello! If I understand it correctly, after I unlock it, I wouldn't be able to upgrade it.to Lollipop anymore? Am I right? Asking, because after the upgrade it will be locked again.
Thank you!

If you want to upgrade it to Lollipop, you must install stock ROM Lollipop via ODIN. This method won't relock after upgrade ROM. Tested, confirmed

How do you unlock with gt tools
Another solution for this is calling sprint and having them remotely update you prl. The now have free texting and data in some contries i called and had it enabled. Phone# 18552248796 and asked them about the free international roaming. No root required and also works on tw roms.
SSU does not work me
Hi , I'm new to the forum , try to unlock my Note4 and install a customroom and SSU does not work me .
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
I tried it with GT but it asks for a control key code. I have no idea what it is...
