[Q] Omega ROM on I337M

I successfully flashed i9505 Omega ROM v7 on I337M (Canadian)
Everyhing works fine but the wifi. I can't seem to turn my wifi on.
Tried looking into it, something about flashing a kernel. So I tried but doesn't work...
Anybody else have same problem that can help me?

Did you manually add in your apn settings, because that rom does not add them automatically, and you said you flashed a different kernel, was it one for YOUR device...i337m kernel?
These 2 things will get you data and wifi for sure.
The Ax says good luck!

v11 on i337m
I didn't want to start a new topic as this one seems to be titled correctly and am hoping to keep XDA clean and getting all the Omega Rom and i337m questions in one place.
I installed Omega v11 on my i337m (Samsung s4) and the ROM worked perfectly however I was no longer able to bring up my IMEI number. When entering *#06# my phone would just show a black screen where the number should be shown. I of course got scared and ran around in circles for a while before calming down and flashing stock FIDO firmware. (phone was originally rogers, was unlocked and used on bell then sold to me) I rooted the phone, installed Omega and then had the issue with it not being able to show the IMEI.
Flashed Omega v11 for i9095
(also bought the omega files pro app because it's a bad ass ROM.) Hoping to go back to it but need to clear up this issue.
Any ideas on why this would happen?

Emergency Calls Only

Hi All,
Got a GS4 i9505 originally locked to Vodafone, had to downgrade modem firmware to unlock to all networks - put in a Three sim - gives me signal but for emergency calls only - No data, no texts and no calls.
upgraded the modem firmware again - no change.
But a stock rom on - No change
Rooted and put a custom rom on - no change.
Tried a different sim (EE) and doesnt give any signal.
Everything now points to the IMEI being blocked right - Nope, checked that and its not blocked.
So im stuck, any ideas?
Thanks all

Where did you get the phone from? New or used? What firmware where you on and what are you on now?

OP, what country are you in?
The reason I ask is there is no such thing as three in Australia any more, it was closed down on the 31st august.

modem problems...
u need to visit Service Center :sly:
Send my E-960/S4 LTE/N2 GSM and /Galaxy Y to xda

Thanks for the replies.
The phone is second hand - apparently it was "unlocked" for 3 when i got it - even though it had a Vodafone bloatware rom on it.
Im from UK - :/ but thanks for the suggestion.
Its on 4.2.2 - stock rom - it was on a custom rom (not sure what though)
When you say Modem, do you mean the hardware or software?
If it is the modem, how would the 3 sim get signal but an EE sim wont?
Thanks

[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] Restoring to Stock ROM

I don't always ask for help online because I believe that whatever problem I have, someone out there already has it, so I just need to look better. Not this time though. I'm literally dying.
I've installed Custom ROMs before and reverted them back to stock before but it was on a Galaxy NEXUS. It was seamless.
I have a n900W8 Note 3, this is the canadian variant. After a long day, I managed to root it and install CWM recovery, but didn't install a custom ROM. The next day (today), I installed an AOSP ROM and it worked fine but I wanted a TouchWiz ROM. After trying out 2 and getting stuck in a bootloop, I went back to the AOSP ROM. I then tried one last one, X-NOTE. Apparently it wiped my internal storage. You should see what happened to me when I realized that.
So I now just want to go back to the stock firmware but that's not easy, because I live in Jordan, which is in the middle east, but my phone is a canadian variant. But, The CSC Code for it was TTT, which is for Trinidad and Tobago. Wait, there's more. When Installing X-Note, it asked me which CSC code do I want to install. it had 5 options I think and TTT wasn't one of them. I chose BTU which is for UK.
So now I want a firmware that isn't carrier locked so I can use whatever SIM Card I put in it.
There's this article, and it says :
"You might find 2 types of firmwares even within a particular model number. Such firmwares are generally known as Branded and Unbranded ones. If your device is locked to a network provider/carrier, it’s a branded device. Therefore you must install a firmware that is meant for your carrier. Similarly, if you are able to use any SIM card on your phone, it’s unbranded, and so you can install any firmware on it that is for unbranded Note 3.", well, how the hell do I know which one is branded and which one isn't :crying:.
Seriously guys, I'm desperate for help. The phone actually isn't mine, that's why I'm freaking out. I still have my Galaxy Nexus and I love it. Even after 3 years, it is still working perfectly. The developer support for it is absolutely amazing.

i9505 i337m canada mobile network connectivity

Hello All,
I have a samsung galaxy s4 i337m in canada using the rogers netowork. Ive been using customs roms shortly after i got this phone. Ive used samsung rom, original, GPE but eventually settled on Cyanogenmod. I use TWRP for the i9505 which allows me to use any rom (since CM12 doesnt have a build for the i337m, and other builds wont flash in a i337m TWRP).
Anyway ive been using CM 12.1 with a i9505 build for some time, and it works great. I had to update my modem to the NI2 build to get it to work, but its been working flawless ever since.
Now to my problem, buddy has an S4, same model, same carrier. He claims he needs a new phone and i beg to differ. I rooted, installed twrp (i9505)and cm12.1 (i9505). works great, however no network connectivity. I remember i need a new modem, try the same one that works with mine....nothing... try a different one.... nothing. calls and SMS, but not data of any speed.
Reverting to kitkat roms results in it working perfectly (multiple modems). both from his original Nandroid and CM 11. All lollipop roms seems to have the same issue, no mobile data. Wifi works fine. No issues with SIM card, switched them between the two phones and confirmed its HIS phone with the issue.
Im a little puzzled, can someone recommend a modem to load? should I try to use TWRP an CM12 for the ATT variant/ different variant? I want to help him but this is making me look amateur (even if its true).
Thanks ahead of time.
