[Q] Looking for Official Telus SGH-I337M firmware

Hello Everybody
So I rotted my S4 and been flashing roms and gapps since I bought the sweet thing. I use TWRP and I always keep the stock rooted rom backed up on my SD card but a few days ago my SD card messed up and required a format to fix and now I can't find a stock Telus firmware to flash. I've found lots of Canadian stock roms but they seem to be all Rogers or Bell images. Anyone out there help me out ? I want to hit up stock for awhile and get the official 4.3 update from Telus when it drops later this month, so I can root and keep the adventure alive.
You can use any Canadian rom for any
Galaxy s4 i337m there is only one rom fits all. If you install bell rom on Telus phone it will install Telus everything .
If you install rogers on telus same thing

[Q] AT&T 4.4.4 update via SD Card?

I'll cut to the chase. I've read about 200 pages and can't seem to find what I'm after. I read the noob threads which were very informative.
I am located in Australia. Bought an AT&T Galaxy s4 from eBay Hong Kong. My last phone was an HTC and I used numerous ROMs on it but I want to keep touchwiz and samsung apps for now. I'm not ready to ditch all the features on my new phone just yet by installing a custom, stripped down ROM.
My GS4 came with JB 4.3, Baseband version MJ6.
I want to apply the AT&T 4.4.4 'official' update, but due to being on a different carrier in a different country, the OTA update just won't happen.
Can anyone point me to the official 4.4.4 firmware ?
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?
It doesn't exist. Samsung nor the carriers ever published it. The closest it 4.4.2 located in the general forum

Flashing Korean SM-G900K with Australian / International Firmware?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if I can flash a stock Australian / International firmware on my SM-G900K ??
If so which MM 6.0 unbranded firmware would you recommend?
Reason for this is currently my SM-G900K has Korean dialpad and other branded bloatware ....
Thanks All!
also interested!!!
Hi,
I am also really wanting to be using Aussie firmware. Sick of the Korean ads I get everytime I unlock my phone to use it. Is it possible?

Beware flashing different firmware can lead to bricked phone that you might need J-tag to bring it back to life.
But you can use the Rom of it but if its very similar hardware with some changes.

Flash SM-G900F firmare into SM-G900T (T-Mobile)

Hey guys.
Any of you knows if I can install G900FXXU1CPD2 (which is for G900F) into a G900T, just using Odin? I have been reading and I've seen in many places that a lot of roms for the F version would work on the T version, as long as they're unbranded and have nothing specific on them. This one is supposed to be unbranded (Netherlands) without any kind of bloatware or apps from any mobile provider.
What do I need to do in order to flash it and make it work? Maybe not flashing the bootloader? As mentioned I've seen videos where a G900F rom was flashed into the G900T variant without problems.
And if it can't be done with this one, is there any other unbranded G900F rom that would work with my G900T? Or any G900T firmware pure stock, like Google Play Edition or similar?
I want a clean unbranded rom, as T-Mobile has the weird tradition of removing options (like the data mobile switch) and forcing updates on you (there's no way to disable or stop OTA updates ... and the phone starts downloading them even if you are on 3G/4G!! No way to select "only Wifi" either ).
My G900T has the last Marshmallow version, and it's 100% T-Mobile stock, no root or anything.
Thanks!
Bro to stop OTA Updates just flash latest Twrp And flash ( Beta supersu ) .......
I don't think that stock g900f is work on g900t
Sorry for my bad English
To Enable Mobile Data Toggle
Use QuickPanel Maneger
Like screenshots
But when you restart your phone you need to do this again
Hey!
Thanks for your answers, I am already using a similar solution than QuickPanel Manager, but yeah you have to do this every time you reboot.
However, I would like to get rid of all the nonsense stuff T-Mobile has embedded in my S5, and still have the option to update my phone ... when I WANT, not whenever an OTA update comes and I am on a limited mobile data plan. So I don't want to disable OTAs, just download them whenever I want.
So going back to my point, no chance this G900F firmware would work on my G900T firmware? Both are snapdragon and apparently (as I read everywhere) shouldn't be any problem.

New to SM-G900F, advice on stock rom please

Hi Guys,
Whilst I'm new to the SM-G900F, I'm not new to Samsung and Android in general.... I have the N7000, i9100 and i9100P. As well as some other Android devices.
A friend got me this device today, and think it's totally awesome... However it was originally on the Three (UK network) and comes bundled with a lot of the Three Apps and settings....
What I was wondering, what is the best place and STOCK rom to flash this with please, so that it is just GENERIC and unbranded firmware. I'm not looking to custom rom it yet either, want to run it as stock.
I'm currently with EE (EveryoneEverywhere UK) network, and see that I can get an EE firmware from SamMobile.

Also, what is BTU under SamMobile??
But is there any firmware's that dont have any branding, and just standard stock from Samsung....

Do I just put this phone into DownloadMode, and flash in Odin? Any special settings?? As this is the first device with Knox that I own, and dont want to trip it...
Thanks, Lister
Maybe you can try Darklord N5?
Its stock based on note 5
Very stable and fast
Hmm
