Is there any way I can install Cyanogenmod on an AT&T Galaxy s4 Baseband: I337UCUEMK2?
No, same situation as MF3.
I'm really beginning to consider a Nexus device..

Same here but I've only have Samsung phones since...well... 2006 or so. No breaks, no bricks, not even a cracked screen. Coming from the, so easy to root it's a joke GS3, it's odd seeing it all locked down like this.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard for someone to port it.
Question is though, can it be run as an app on top of Android? Because if it requires its own bootloaders, etc.... yeah we won't see it any time soon (locked bootloaders, etc.).
Hey guys ive had my s4 since june 1. I wanted the active but it came out a day after my exchange period.. so anyways im meeting a girl today that want to trade her active for my s4 becuase she want the camera and doesnt want the bottom buttons like on the active. So im just wondering if its worth the trade becuase I read I cant flash roms on the active and im a flashaholic. But yet again we can still root and I need the ruggedness. Ive gone through 5 phones since august (paid full price no insurace/replacement crap) so whats your guys' opinion. Yay or nay?
Thanks a bunch,
Kole

Maybe you could get a nice, heavy duty case on your normal S4 so you can have the ruggedness of the Active? That's what I did with mine. I also did not like the buttons on the active...

Depends on how cute the girl is and how bad she wants your phone

What firmware is your phone on, if it's mf3 you can't flash anyway. If it's mdl, I wouldn't care how cute she is. Just saying.
My s4 is mdl has been since I got it and right now im just running a stock rooted so im not too stuck on mdl. Plus I can just use notach and use nova

UPDATE: went through and got the active. I like the weight and until the bootloader is unlocked its not a big deal

I had gotten the active then the s4 32gb. I just got my daughter the active and I actually like active a little more now that I can side by side them. Plus I work outside and if it starts to rain I won't have to worry about ruining it.

You can root just not flash roms atm. Just dowbload notach xposed a couple root apps and it feels as if you almost have a custon rom.

Today I tested both S4 and S4 active, both on the same carrier S4 had 5-11 dB higher signal reception. Meaning there are some places (not very often) that active won't have reception but regular S4 has.
Also, you noted the developer options that you can't put a custom rom too.
Overall, I don't know they come close to each other having these 2 important disadvantages.
But I like the look of blue active better.

Why would you go from A Galaxy S4 to a Nexus 4? Loss of usb otg makes it seem like a downgrade to me.

Nexus has otg but it needs power for it. I have an external battery source so it wouldn't be an issue. I am absolutely bored of my s4. Nothing new is going on with it. Because of the locked bootloader it is an issue. I don't feel like I'm getting anything out of my s4. I'm done with branded phones. If my s4 doesn't sell now then ill just buy the n5 whenever it arrives in October.

This was what happened when I went from my Galaxy Nexus to S3, although it was an international version so it didn't have problem with locked boot loader. I think if you have gotten the international version there would be plenty of roms to play with.

There are roms to play with but I just don't feel that I am getting everything out of this phone that I could. I haven't even flashed a rom in weeks. I don't feel like I'm using a quad core because of lag. I played a few games and I lagged. I am just going to wait for the n5 and swap out.

You should have been around here during the loki days, then you could run any rom you want on your S4.

I asked the same Q in the forums "Android" and people heavily prefer the Nexus 5. I may sell my new S4. Get a Moto G then get the S5 but unlocking the S5 bootloader won't be any easier for awhile so I'm likely getting a Nexus 5 soon. My 2 cents.

You could always order an unlocked i337M (Canadian) online or something. Our S4s don't have locked bootloaders. (at least not yet..)
Kitkat on S4 SGH-i337
You can get the 4.4 kitkat on your phone by flashing the leaked version for the at&t S4. I have the same model phone and have flashed the leaked update so far no real big issues. I think if you were to wait another 3 weeks or so the official update will probably hit our phones in that time frame.:good:
Buy a kitkat bar, make sure its nice n warm.
Rub gently all over the device.
Now its a kitkat device
Or you can flash it and end up with a device on kitkat with a locked bootloader or bricked if you're on safestrap
I am not one to root my phone so and tinker with warranty for the first year. However, having these two buttons as seen on the S5 will be a huge annoyance but one I may have to live with. Does anyone know if the Rogers S5 or Note 4 have this right out of the box, no settings to disable/hide it? TIA!

Does rooting your phone not void your warranty where you are?
I can root a device before I even get it thanks to this forum, losing warranty to root is what keeps me paranoid.
