Hi i just get one new SGH-I337M from Telcel im intersting in the lates google edition rom after looking in the forums I saw two post with this roms (iB4STiD and yeahmann), but a friend of mine gave a link in which they install a "I9505-GoogleEdition4.3" on a I337M, after this, the new model is GT-I9505G in the device info (videotutorial), so my question: is it recommended to install this rom even in a different model??? because in all the post they say use only with certain model cheers!

to be safe i would use the one for your phone model.
well after waiting for someome to answer my question i found the thread, the room is from jamal2367:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341794
so i guess its possible to install this roms without problems
Also i found on the web a user name dli7319 answer the question ¿Any GS4 can be turned into a Google Play Edition? he said:
yes, the i337 and m919 have the same board and are based off of the i9505, however you will need to use a kernel specific to your device.
He is in thesame context, using rom from a I9505G for a I337M
This is the one, works excelent!!

If you run any custom rom from another carrier, yes it will change the model number...

If you have a custom recovery, the easiest way is within it. You save like any other nandroid but only save the efs partition not anything else. Typically the efs partition is not saved and you'll have to manually check it in recovery and uncheck the other partitions.

When you go into twrp, backup you should normally see boot, data, and system checked. Uncheck those and check efs. Then save the backup with a name you'll remember. If you ever need it you'd need to have a Rom installed and you'd then go into twrp and restore that nandroid.

I successfully installed something like MF9HotspotMod last month and everything was cool until I did the Android 4.3 update. Then I attempted to root the phone again and bricked it for a day with in stuck on the yellow sprint screen until I did my next trick.
I went into recovery and installed jlftespr_mja_text2.zip after trying many attempts I read off of forums. This was the only rom that actually got my phone to work.
Everything looks good except for a had some issues with the phone not working in LTE areas. Sprint said to turn LTE off and set the phone to CDMA only (that really didn't solve the issue but got them off the phone.)
How can I get this back to as close to as possible stock rom, something that will run the Multiwindow App that uses Xpose Installater (the best thing to happen to phones since the G1 came out!), and get free wifi hotspot?

If you want to get back to stock you have a couple of options, download the full MJA tar from sammobile or a mirror site and install via odin, then root it with cf autoroot and install the MJA hot-spot mod. Or download the rooted stock MJA rom from the development section and install then install the hot-spot mod. Simon center you are having problems with your radio, I would recommend starting crash with the full tar.

You need to download that tar file and odin and just flash it. This will delete your internal memory and then try to perform ##27286# in the dial pad and try it and see if it works.

Nope not the kernel just the one of the other two zips. The kernel is built in the the tar file. Just download which ever one. Extract it, you just get a .tar.md5 file. Start odin and put it in the pda slot. Set the phone in download mode. Connect to the phone. Flash it. BTW THIS WILL DELETE YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY SO MAKE A SAFE! BEFORE ANYTHING! Once that is done. Boot into recovery. Should be stock recovery now. Just do a factory reset and reboot. And presto you should be stock mja. Just go to the dial pad and enter ##27286# and it should reboot a couple of times. And see if that helps you.

Hi,
I am planning to install Telus rom v 4.2.2 on Fido S4 which is on Android 4.2.2 Baseband i337MVLUAMG1.
I have unlocked (SIM) the phone using unlock code and Rooted using CF auto root.
Have TWRP installed. Have made nandroid back up.
So here are the steps I am going to follow.
1) Download Official Telus Firmware (4.2.2 AMG) from sammobile.
2) Wipe to factory default using TWRP.
3) Flash Telus firmware 4.2.2 using Odin.
4) Root the phone.(CF-Auto Root)
Can someone please tell me if this is OK?
Are there any chances of bricking the device if you install telus rom on fido phone?
Just want to make it sure before I proceed.
Anyone? Am I missing anything?
Don't have to install new ROM for. Just dial *#272*your imei# and select tls for Telus
You click OK and your phone will reboot and install everything Telus.

Doesn't matter which one. Just use that code again to what carrier you want. All stock 4.2.2 and 4.3 are the same . They only install with the carrier you phone is coded like the csc code ( costumer sales code)

I guess I need to wait cause don't have telus firmware downloaded.Sammobile is re-uploading all the firmwares on to other file sharing site since hotfile is no more. Any other site I can download the firmware from?
Hi everyone, I have been a fan of the xda website for a long time and you guys have always helped me solve my problems with my phones.
This is the first time I need something that I haven´t been able to find. Forgive me if it is already answered but I cannot find it.
Basically my problem is that I was trying to rom my phone for the first time and it failed.... miserably. I did not brick my phone; it still works, starts up and functions normally except for a few key things: a few programs do not function any more, most notably the wifi, contacts and dialer app, the lock screen widgets and some others.
What I did was installed safestrap, then downloaded the gravitron rom. I put everything in the right place, created the extra rom slot, then is where the noob came in. I forgot to switch over to the rom slot and instead installed over the main rom... Wow much noob, right?
Anyway, what I want to know is if there is any way to salvage my phone? I am on baseband mf3 and with the research I have done, I have concluded I am screwed until odin files for mf3 come out. But if there is any way I can get my phone back to normal I would appreciate it so very much.
Thank you all in advance for your help. I apologize if i have left anything out but I will give any info on request.
No love for the guy with busted wi-fi?
Please help me! I'm killing my data plan... and it's really annoying to not be able to use my dialer or contacts.

Sounds like you're on mf3 firmware? If so, I'd flash that firmware and start over. Google mf3 tar files xda
If on MF3 you will need to flash the modules provided in the development thread. If on MK2, you will need to manually place them because there is no flashable modules yet AFAIK. No need to start from scratch unless you want it back to complete stock.

You don't flash the modules in Odin... You flash them in the SS recovery.

You can use any s4 rom I believe, but you will lose the Spark function of the T model if the rom doesn't support it.
Main thing, have a good Nandroid of your working touchwiz system, flash new rom, if you boot loop, nandroid back to your working system.
Before you install a ROM and after making a nandroid. Restore it to make sure it backed up correctly.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
Make a note of your firmware and baseband as you may need to reflash to the correct firmware in order to have the best experience. I'm still on MK5. I have decided to be patient and wait. The spark is very noticeable compared to my s3 (i had).

Yes.
You need to always flash NE1(The file I uploaded) baseband after each rom install you do...
If you have a EFS backup prior your VN V14 FLASH you can repair this issue mentioned above.
For now you can only hope that Samsung will release more roms with the NE1 modem...

If your IMEI is same as one on BOX and message displying insert SIM card then may be it's physical issue may be damaged SIM tray OR damaged card.
Try other SIM card
