[Q] Flashing roms - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi,
I have SGH-M919V and its unlocked.
I am on Bell and want to use LTE. But this model has LTE disabled. when i enable it, cant make phone calls.
I cant seem to flash T mobile modem via odin. there is this secure boot issue. the AUTH: Fails.
I was thinking of installing Bell SGH-I337M rom on my phone. Is that possible? If so, how do I go about doing it?
Thanks!

Since you have a T-Mobile variant you should ask in the sgs4 tmobile forum...
However your problem with lte/phonecalls is likely just an APN issue
To further assist we would need to know which carrier you are using the device on

Hey. thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it.
I've been asking a lot there. No one is answering.
Please help me out, please.
My phone is Canadian variant, originally from WindMobile - SGH-m919V. Wind uses Tmobile freq. = 1700/2100 (AWS) only. No LTE.
I got it unlocked two days ago, and switched over to Bell carrier. Bell uses the other freq and LTE.
When I do force LTE by *#2263# - and enable all LTE, i get LTE speeds. But NO calling or texting. this is with the original Windmobile stock rom. No modification. No root.
I tried to flash Tmobile modem via odin 3.07, didnt work. I used the phone button to load the modem.bin. It gave me AUTH: Fail, secure check fail.

I agree, wrong forum, but we are here to please....
if you have a M919V then you would flash the rom you want, before you boot, flash a tmo m919V kernel, it will boot, manually add your apn settings for your device, it will work with data/wifi/calls.
Good luck....

Hi, im sorry for posting in this forum.
so if I want to flash the bell rom - I337M stock original rom , how do I flash it without booting??
And then how would I flash the tmobile kernel so then I can boot??
I dont mind keeping my current rom - wind stock. But, I want to be able to use LTE like how tmobile has pentaband 3g plus lte.
:/ .

Convert to i9500?

A friend of mine got a Sprint S4 but he wishes to use it with a GSM Carrier.
First couple things I noted are:
1) No SIM Card Contact Management, had to use an App to copy all to phone
2) Cannot find GSM APN settings to manually enter
Is it possible to flash a stock International i9500 ROM over this to alleviate the issues with using a mainly CDMA version?

I do not believe you can flash an international ROM to this phone unless you want a pretty paperweight. But there are some tutorials to unlock your SIM to be able to use on other carriers, here is where I'd start. However if he's on a Knox bootloader I think the chance is next to zero for using it on GSM because you have to 'go back' to MDC to do some required stuff.
If he wanted to use a gs4 on a GSM network he should have gotten a GSM version not a CDMA

It is actually already unlocked as he can use Voice etc just a bit tricky to get the APN settings to work for 3G...

you must install roms for sgh-i337m
Using Claro in Puerto Rico?
roms for gt-i9505 support if your team is sgh-i337m... my phone is sgh-i337m variant and this compatible install roms, which are SGH-M919 and SGH-9505
I f you want to saty on the rom you have now, check your APN settings, if you have the i337m and want a different rom, check out mapleleaf, it is close to stock and specifically for th i337m. You will need to flash modem NC1 through Odin PC.

[Q] SM-9006v - Using on t-mobile

Hi,
I just purchased a Galaxy s5 sm-g9006v. This is the chinese unicon Samsung galaxy s5. It's unlocked.
I have a t-mobile sim. The phone works fine but the only problem is that it's only running 2g speeds! and i've been reading and i think it's a problem with the bands the phone is working on.
I've also been reading about changing the firm-ware modem but I need a little help.
My question :
Can I change the bands that my phone is using to t-mobile compatible bands to run hspa+ or lte or 4g ?
If so, is it as simple as flashing flashing t-mobile firmware from sammobile (sm-g900t) to my phone via odin?
And if I can fix it without having to flash the whole original firmware by just flashing the modem (which is 5mb), where can i get the modem for that firmware and how do I flash it alone ?
Thank you

tmobile modem on n910c

i know n910C is not for USA, but here I am using N910C in USA on Tmobile network
and i am having issue with weak network/signal at many places
and i was wondering if there is a way i can install Tmobile modem/bootloader on N910C.
I already downloaded tmobile modem and bootloader and tried to install using odin,
but it fails everytime.
any help please
thanks
i have an n910H. by default, its set on 3g, metropcs lte. then ill just register it to a tmobile network. i guess my version cant get lte so the highest i get is H+. which is still as fast as lte, at least to me. and im using tmobile.
You cannot flash tmobile modem or bootloader only thing to do is buy a tmobile branded phone

General question on flashing a Note 4 after changing mobile provider

Hi,
I have a Note 4 (model N910A) that I was using with AT&T. Recently I moved over to T-Mobile and kept the same phone.
So my phone is 'unlocked' and working fine but I noticed I have a lot of AT&T bloatware still on the phone so I was thinking
of flashing it with a custom ROM; my question is this.....
Should I be following the instructions for a T-Mobile Note 4 or for a AT&T Note 4? Or perhaps it doesn't matter?
Thanks in advance, any help appreciated....
As far as i know if you have n910A model you cant flash custom rom beacuse thier bootlader always comes with lock

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend flash a custom ROM onto your device. As it's specifically design to work on AT&T's LTE/4G bands, so even if you do flash a custom ROM onto it. You are not gonna be able to say put a Verizon SIM into your device and be able to use their LTE/4G bands on your device.
