Are they both 16GB? If so, do it.
Tmobiles s4 > Atts s4
Why? Tmobiles isn't bootloader locked and works perfectly fine on att. Just similar unlock (6$ or so on eBay).

Yep, you're better off with the T-Mobile one.

After buying an ATT S4 with a locked bootloader (MF3 - should have done more pre-purchase research), I just switched all four lines from my family plan to T-Mobile, after years with ATT contracts. TMobile is paying the ETF's, will cost about 1/2 the monthly ATT cost, and gave me a $165 trade in on my S4. And, now my phone has an unlocked bootloader (went for Nexus 5 at $400 instead of S4 at $640!)! ROM heaven, free at last ...

Availability of rogers RAZR HD in the US?

Does anyone know if any website has one for sale..... or maybe does someone have a source that they could get one. Also does the rogers version work with ATT LTE?

Find someone in Canada willing to ship you one. It will cost you roughly $700 shipped to your door. And yes, LTE will work on the AT&T bands.
700$ that's a pretty penny but motre then I'm willing to pay

Hey boakun, I will offer you $650 if its the rogers or international razr

My main concerns is LTE on att and tmobile.

Most likely LTE will not work so if thats your main concern just get it in the U.S unless you dont mind being on 3g maybe H+

Tmo on att lte?

I have a extra tmo s4 and I was wondering if I were to unlock and flash an att rom n apn'z would I still get lte speed.
And does a bad tmo imei get blocked on att too?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It will work as long as the imei isn't affected on the att side. If device was reported lost or stolen it will be blocked on both carriers I believe. If just unpaid on tmobile it sometimes works but I'm not for certain. Att Roms will work but you'll have to flash a T-Mobile or i9505 kernel I believe as most att custom Roms have loki kernels.

Thanks Febby. I'm glad u reminded me about the kernel. Probably would of bricked.
Its just an unpaid tmo phone from a family plan gone wrong.
I suppose I could use a GE rom too I hope.

Any ROM will work, such as i9505 Roms or even T-Mobile. Just add the APN for att.

It should work as long as it's not carrier locked and the bands are all the same. (Buy a Google Play Edition or a international variant if possible.)
Smack that thanks button If I helped!
Always make a nandroid backup before trying anything risky.
I do respond to questions (most) via PM.

Need a more precise answer please. Not about to spend 400$ for a paper wait.

If you don't want to spend the money get a att phone on contract ...
Phones cost money, especially off contract.
Plus a used s4 is going to cost 3 to 4 hundred dollars, more if they are carrier unlocked.
