wifi tethering on Pac rom. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wasn't sure which section to post this. Am using my s4 on the tmobile uk network, running the latest Pac rom. However I think my network tmobile uk has blocked my tethering. Now in the old days their used to be an app, for root users to go round this problem, but I can't seem to find this on the market. Any help or suggestions as to how I can go round this restriction would be appreciated.

[Q] GiffGaff & S4 Google Edition - Final-R1.2 ROM

Hi Guys,
I just flashed my phone recently too S4 Google Edition - Final-R1.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474) and it's running great just my network keeps dropping here and then. I have put the correct APN settings so it can't be that.
I've been reading up on it could be to do with Modems? How can i find out the right one for my network? Giffgaff runs off the o2 network by the way! (UK Provider)
Previous Rom: Gummy Nightly (Giffgaff network worked fine)
Current Rom: S4 Google Edition (Issues with dropping network)
Or, does anyone know a rom that runs 4g giffgaff well? Really need a ROM with a working mobile data. (Or if someone can ask for me in that thread as i don't have enough posts to post in there yet)
Many thanks for any help.
Try flashing MK9/MKE modem twice via Odin, untick Auto Reboot.

May break your sound if you've upgraded to the new 4.4 bootloader though.

[Q] installing Tmobile rom to i337

Hi,
Currently I have a i337 galaxy s4 which I am using with tmobile sim card. I made it unlocked by ATT before I switched to tmobile. It has baseband UFNI1 and Android 4.4.2 installed. I managed to get it rooted using the Odin software, so I can use the tethering with the tmobile.
Now I am trying to find a way to use the Wi-Fi calling. I searched it a lot and figured out that I need a tmobile rom installed but it quickly got very confusing. It looks like what you need to do also depends on what android version you are using. For some you need safestrap, change the kernel for some you don't. For some you have Wi-Fi issues and need to change the modem etc.
So, I am trying to find the easiest and safest way that will make the Wi-Fi calling work. I don't necessarily need the very latest android version or the fancy custom roms etc,I only need something that will work without any issues. I am perfectly fine with a tmobile stock Rom if that's the most convenient way.
So,I would really appreciate if someone can help me on this. It would be great to have a set of noob friendly instructions. Thanks a lot.

Hi There,
Were you able to root your device for Wifi Calling. I followed the instructions of http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nvert-i337-to-m919-wifi-caling-t2896719/page6 and went into the same issue. After TMOBILE stock rom, the phone does not boot. I was able to install the first rom and then able to get onto the latest version and able to use phone again with AT&T latest software update (android 5.0.1). Actually, this is the version I have when I started rooting.
If you find any solution, please let me know as I am on the same boat with you on installing TMOBILE ROM using the other thread.
thanks

You cannot install a T-Mobile stock ROM to an AT&T device. Samsung has safeguards in place to prevent it. You would need to root and then install a custom ROM, which on an AT&T is difficult to do with its encrypted bootloader.
However, this is not the appropriate location to ask this. Questions related to AT&T devices belong in the AT&T S4 forums.

Still no data?
This solution worked for a Danish guy with Telenor carrier.
"There are plenty of fields in an APN entry they my provider/carrier did not address, MVNO type for example, and that one turned out to be the problem It was set to 'SPN' by default, but it should be 'None'. I found that out be reflashing a CM11 M12 and checking the APN settings.
This particular misconfiguration is of course specific to my provider/carrier, but it is probably a general problem for people with mobile data problems."
Still no data. Wow cyanamod is so much better then touchwizz crap. But how can I solve this problem. Do I need to change on the APN?
I just got 2 updates from Cyanogenmod and my data is working. Finally

G928G + Wi-Fi calling (MetroPCS) help

I got a G928G off monoprice and it seems to work fine, M update was waiting when I powered on and everything. We are switching to MetroPCS/T-Mobile but the problem is, we get 1 bar of LTE inside the house and can't make/receive calls. Wi-Fi calling would be the answer but it isn't available in the settings anywhere. I know MetroPCS offers Wi-Fi calling and through searching it appears it is available on other FWs for the GS6E+ but not the stock one for G928G. I would prefer to keep the stock FW but I'm OK w/ rooting if I can get this added. Guessing a new bootloader won't change this so I'm afraid I will need a new ROM but I would at least like it to be a stock Samsung one. Found something about "Aroma" here but not exactly sure how this works.
Can someone point me to one that will work on the G928G and includes Wi-Fi calling? (Also, any recommendations on the best process for rooting/flashing for Samsung would be appreciated - I have rooted a Note 3 in the past and some other devices but not flashed a custom ROM - is this procedure good if I find a stock ROM that supports Wi-Fi calling?
