Hi,
Recently, a relative of mine purchased an Unlocked AT&T S4 from a local shop here in Canada. I found a bunch of bloatware from AT&T and some of the settings on the AT&T are different from what I have here on Rogers. Since he has the SGH-i337, I figured I can flash the Rogers SGH-i337M ROM no problem. I attempted to do through Odin, but I keep getting this message on the phone:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and I get this message on the computer:
What can I do so I can get the Rogers ROM onto his phone?
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband version: I337UCUEMK2
Build number: JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2
Thanks
Even though you live in Canada still doesn't mean anything even if you get it to “unlocked" because unlock means SIM UNLOCK. He has the i337 “at&t US version" Only the i337m “canadian variant" will only be able to flash Canadian ROMs unless he has the phone on MDL baseband or a Google edition phone. The boot loader is locked on the i337 so there is no way you can flash anything besides the stock Rom that comes with it... However if he's on MDL baseband he can flash most whatever he likes if it is mf3-mk2 you need to look into safestrap. Do more reading and researching before your friends phone turns into a paperweight.

I hope this is on the right forums page.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, Model SGH-I337M, Running Android 4.4.2. I am on Telus Canada, but I don't think I downloaded the correct rom for it, when I went to revert it back to stock, because when I try to check for a software update, it says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available.
Would it be possible for someone to post a link on where I can get the official Telus Canada Rom?
Here are my specs:

I have a Sprint Galaxy S4 l720 Build L720VPUAMDC 4.4.2 I want to unroot with Triangle Away The custom Rom I got is for L720VPUFNG2. although my phone is rooted with this ROM I believe because of Build conflict numbers are why I can't unlock this phone with any method Iv'e try. The warning about triangle away bricking a phone has me
paranoid. Has anyone tried Triangle Away v3.26 on a Sprint Galaxy S4 SPL-L720 with a L720VPUAMDC build?
Sure could use some help here please! Thanks

Triangle Away has not worked in years. Don't use it. It also won't unroot your phone.

Hey guys i recently updated my s4 to the new OTA lollipop and it came with so many issues that it basically rendered my phone useless. I looked at the baseband version and it says "L720VPUFNG2," when I looked up the update version on google it comes up as "L720VPUGOD2."
Just curious what the difference is between the two. I am hoping that maybe the OD2 version would solve my issues with the phone. Otherwise I will be downgrading for now.

OD2 is Lollipop, NG2 is KitKat, and because the baseband is still NG2 I am guessing something went wrong with the update. I would Odin the OD2 tar. By the way, DON'T TRY TO DOWNGRADE YOUR FIRMWARE. You can flash older ROMs but do not try to Odin an older version.

Hello,
Please I need help unlocking AT&T Samsung s4 i337 on Android 5.0 lollipop.
I read about Region Lock Away but it requires root and unable to find a possible rooting guide because it's Android 5 lollipop and locked bootloader prevents me from installing custom recovery
Please I need guidance if I should downgrade the Android version. Which one will be preferable that supports rooting and Sim/network unlock.
Thanks for your favorable response

I recommend contacting AT&T to see if they will provide the unlock code for free. If not, look on eBay for an AT&T unlocker.
Well I finally unlocked the phone
- I downgraded to android stock 4.4.2 using odin
- Rooted the phone with towelroot
- Installed safestrap Recovery
- Flashed baseband to MF3 using safestrap
- Unlocked network with RegionLockAway
- Unlocked Tethering & Hotspot with Xposed Installer
Though I did not try going back to lollipop. I am quite satisfied now.
