Hi all, I have a galaxy S4 on 3 network and want to debrand it. Can somebody tell me how to do this please. I don't want to install a custom rom (yet) I would just like it stock unbranded.
Thanks Scotty.

Hello there . I've recently bought a second S4, but I've noticed the product code is i9515, instead i9505. What are the differences between the two phones ?

The hardware is seemingly the same for both but the 9515 has new touch drivers which makes it currently impossible to instal things like CM or other custom ROMS and also only lets you use custom recovery without touch function.
Rooting via Towel Root and Cf-autoroot works(CF-autoroot will void your warranty while towel root doesn't)
I have tested philz touch 5 and 6(I9515 ver) on my I9515 and they are both working (no touch/buttons only. Also installing customrecovery will void your warranty)
I am going to rom my friends phone, I used to have an i9505 and he has the LTE-A i9506 model, so was wondering if I can just use the same thing.
TWRP doesn't seem to have a page for the i9506.
Thanks

You own a Frankestein. Install this APP and add some screenshots.
@androidfine16: Without seeing your information from Phone Info, I can virtually guarantee that your only means of upgrading will be to install AT&T firmware, which will not lead to a good experience unless you're not planning on rooting the phone. AT&T locks its bootloader, making rooting virtually impossible.
If you just got this device, run, don't walk to where you got it from and return it.
