Hello guys,
I have noticed that there are many Rom that should work for the SGH-i337M model of the S4
while All of them works on the Big Canadian providers like Telus, Fido ,Rogers , Bell, what about Koodo .
I know that they work on the Telus Networks but whenever i flash a Rom on my Koodo S4 (SGH-i337M) it wont show koodo but Telus and the LTE is gone( since im not on official network) and shows only HSPA.
Now is there a ROM that works on Koodo and The LTE works fine?
or is something that i should do to make it work.
Thanks in advance.
I'm using CM and its working just fine on my Koodo phone. The LTE radio seems weaker maybe(not that CM changes it I don't think), since it won't grab the LTE connection until there is two bars of signal. But it works.
I'm just doing more research if a new radio would help the signal.
One of the nightly builds actually showed Koodo as the network name, but ever since I've updated it goes back to showing Telus. Maybe a fresh flash would fix that.

Good question, I've deleted all the old ones off my phone. I would say late June sometime, I vaguely remember June 26th for some reason.
Its odd that it just worked that one nightly.

Are you still currently With Koodo, which ROM are you have?
and how about LTE does it work fine with this rom?

Yes, still on Koodo, running the July 13th CM nightly. LTE is working fine right now, I have three bars.

But it does not say LTE its Just 4G
Are they running at the same speeds
Because when i run my Stock touch-wiz its say LTE but when i flashed CM or even PAC-man Rom it says its 4G .( not sure why that is )
But i did notice that even though it says Telus. Koodo's APN are in-place and working
Aosp roms say 4g instead of lte. It's lte speeds, and has been documented everywhere that 4g means lte.
Think of the carrier name as cosmetic only, your sim only lets you connect to Koodo anyways, so it's all working fine. The Koodo apn is setup correctly on all the roms.

The first time I flashed my s4 it (or I) messed something up and my phone said it was a bell phone yet the koodo sim still worked. I downloaded CSC Changer and gave it root permission and changed my CSC from Bell which was BMC to KDO.

I've searched threads with similar/same problem, didn't find the answer.
About a week ago my phone company sent me a message that 4G was now active for the S4 (only) - yet I haven't been able to connect to anything but H+.
It seems as I don't have LTE option in my network settings, only GSM and WCDMA. It wasn't in my stock ROM nor GE 4.3 I'm running right now.
The service agent I spoke to had I9505XXUBMGA Firmware and he's using 4G, is there a change I'd need to flass stock I9505XXUBMGA to obtain 4G capability?
I have brand new 4G capable SIM.

You could try using Telinfo and "force" the 4G/LTE to be on as well, like so:
Worked fine over here :good:

I have the same problem. Can you please tell me which ROM you flashed?
Thanks!
Hey guys having a bit of problems. I tried the LTE enabler since we have it where I live now. I got the zip from a popular thread in the general section, I asked in there but figured this warranted it's own thread. I had no bars, so I switched back to the latest radio and now I'm permanently stuck with zero cell reception of any kind. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it, I flashed a new ROM, restored a backup, I even flashed the stock image from Google, and did each piece individually in a terminal, so I know I flashed the radio and I'm STILL not getting any service.
Today, I went into Telus to get a new sim card because I thought that was the problem, but that didn't help at all.
Please don't tell me I'm screwed. And yes I did try the disable zip multiple times.
I've attached screenshots of my APN and mobile network settings. Trying to join the network results in an error message.
Anyone? Would greatly appreciate some help as I'm stumped and this is my only phone.

My apologies if I was unclear in my original post, I've tried that. Multiple times.
i followed this thread, and LTE worked like a champ. Though i did not stay on a stock ROM, u personally used DirtyUnicorn rom, but still followed steps to edit the build.prop manuall, and flashed the radio .33. You must use the correct apn's. For US T-Mobile, there is a old epc.tmobile.com apn that does not get LTE reception even if you have a lte equipped device, i had to use the fast.t-mobile.com apn, im sure Telus has an updated apn as well.
http://hippowise.com/how-to-permanently-enable-lte-on-android-4-2-2-nexus-4/
BTW, i dont think it matter what android version your in, cause when i did this, i was on a stock 4.2.2 and it worked, and then i flashed over to the DU ROM, and made the same edits since i used a new rom, and it worked perfectly again. Make sure to press *#*#4636#*#* once all is set said and done and put the netowrk setting to LTE/GSM auto-prl. Not sure why the option for LTE/WCDMA/GSM is not available, maybe someone could help with that one???????
One thing most people forget is that your provider plays a big part in your LTE service. If your sim/account is not provisioned for LTE you will never get it.... period. IN my case I came from an android phone that had no LTE support so it was never provisioned on my account(att). And since the nexus wasent shipped with LTE support or part of att' s LTE phone lineup...they refuse to add LTE support for my nexus. The only way for me to get LTE provisioned on my sim is for me to buy an att LTE compatable phone....then I could just use the sim in my nexus. Try flashing a stock Google image, see if it helps.

Hi all,
I have a freedompop ( they use sprints network) Note 3 N900P. Since the phone uses the sprints network indirectly, I am not sure which roms I will be able to install. Also the phone comes with lollipop; can i use the cf-root app? It says that it only supports the 4.4 bootloader, but the phone is running 5.0.(not sure if the bootloader was updated).
I would like your advice.
Thanks in advance
The Faqs show that phone as a Sprint model so i would expect the Sprint forum to have the answers .

No one replied; I can confirm that it already has twrp installed. The only thing I am curious about is if the roms in the general note 3 threads will be compatible.
USUALLY any non-exynos rom will work. I'm on ringplus. I just add my APN and done. Tried using Music of life LP rom, though that one is tricky to add apn because it's greyed out with the SPR csc. Use the XAS csc to get apn to work. I'm now using darkera13's s7 edge port which gave me no problems editing my APN. I'm assuming the s7 edge port in this forum might have a similar experience.
Oh and the sprint section was no help for me. I had to figure it out on my own.

No, I never could. For that you'll have to try sprint-based roms. Personally, I've gotten a signal just fine without updating prl.

Probably APN. Find out what your cell provider's APN settings are and make your own.

The phone get APN form provider, also i added it manually, but can't get 4G.
I think the problem, is that the phone is sprint and 4G work only in USA, right ?

oh right you're not in the US. If the bands aren't supported then you won't get the data. I don't believe a cdma phone was the right choice to use outside the US. Have better odds using a gsm phone.
I got a S7 edge US Cellular branded from Walmart.. It is UNLOCKED. I put in my tmobile sim, I get lte, but, signal strength is low.
Is it possible to flash Tmobile software on this phone? The reason is I am not getting any strong signals (inspite of it supporting all corresponding LTE bands from Tmobile). Has anyone tried?
what options do I have? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

US cellular is just G935U I believe. You can just download the tmobile firmware, stick it in Oden and press flash. I suggest you to try flashing only the modem from the T firmware and use 935U firmware for everything else.

I actually just flashed TMO version via Odin, so far, all seems to be working fine. Does the U version support HD voice/ VOLTE/ Wifi calling on tmobile?
If you flash the T-Mobile firmware then yes and if you flash the U firmware then No

Is your US Cellular G935U? I bought a used one/unlocked -not in Walmart though- and it shows G935R4. I guess I will brick my device if I flash the Tmobile firmware. The problem that I have it show 4glte and speeds are amazing, however there are no bars shown. When I get a call, it shows bars and makes the calls with no issues. SMS works great.

It is the same one I got from Walmart. I flashed the T-Mobile firmware and the phone rocks. It's a seamless process if you have some basic knowledge of flashing. I can help you if needed. Please let me know... thanks.

Every Rom I tried on my GALAXY S4, lately my calling hasn't worked at all on any of the Roms, I would open the phone app trying to call Voicemail and nothing happens, it doesn't ring or nothing just a long pause and a single beep?. I tried finding ways online how to fix it but so far no luck :-/, has anyone found a solution to fix it? Because Im actually so lost on what to do about it right now.

Yeah like my texting and data works fine it's just the calling that doesn't work, and I'm just like lost now and ran out of ideas, like when I go in the settings and go under phone info and it shows I'm connected to mobile network and IMEI info is still the same from stock ROM.
I'm stumped. The sim is working since text and data work.
Is the phone being used with the carrier that issued the phone or was the phone purchased outright and unlocked?

It was originally by telus Canada variant, but recently in Canada they made it free to get your phone unlocked under certain conditions, so I called telus and they unlocked it for me to be world wide, because my phone is actually so simaler to the US and European variant, on how they are built so I Flashed TWRP GT-i9505 on it and now so now I'm running XOSP-UNOFFICAL-20180114-JFLTEXX and everything works except calling, right now that's how I'm responding to this thread is by mobile data.
Yes, the sgh-337m (Canadian variant) and GT-i9505 are very similar but the radio bands supported by each model is different. Maybe certain radio bands need to be unlocked or enabled for voice?
You could try this website to check compatibility with a stock i337m ROM: https://willmyphonework.net/
Edit: I just noticed you are in Vancouver. Which carrier is being used with the phone?

I am using Freedom mobile is my current service provider, not the biggest company but they are growing. OK I'll look at that link
Did you modify the radio bands to enable AWS for Freedom? I know they are expanding their LTE network to bring LTE to phones that previously worked on 3g only like the iPhone 6s a1688.
Modify Bands? May you describe what that is and how? Because I didn't modify anything all I did one day was Flashed stock ROM via Odin from SamMobile and ever since them my IMEI hanged or anything
Freedom frequencies aren't supported by the i337m. The freedom version of the s4 is the sgh-m919v.

What how is that possible I get mobile data and texting though? Because even In Stock ROM I'm able to call as well?
So your talking about Sgh-i337m right?
Just want to confirm that calling with a stock rom on freedom doesn't work but data and text does? If yes, that is strange that calling doesn't work.
Does calling work with another carrier?

No I mean when I ran Lollipop from SamMobile calling worked 100% same with texting and data, but calling doesn't work running custom Rom, it works for texting and Data but not calling.

This is a screenshot of my device info and Rom and no its for the gfltexx
I just noticed now but in the screenshot of "mobile network state" that it says "disconnected" now I'm confused. About my phone is GT-I337M is the original model name.
I think it may be a kernel issue. Is the phone running the kernel included with the rom?
I never actually knew the differences were between a Rom and a kernel? For a while ithought they were the same, hold on I'll take a screenshot of it.
