Hello all,
This is my first post here, so I'm kind of a noob, but please bear with me. I currently am using the Galaxy s4 GT-i9505 international version in which I bought in Hong Kong last month. I came back to home net network of Rogers Wireless in Canada. The major issue my area supports LTE and the phone cannot reach LTE in the status logo. (I am only getting 3G, H+, 4G) The phone is up to date with the newest in phone update of 4.2.2. This should not be happening because even in the Settings => Mobile networks => Network mode i checked under LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect) option. What should I do?
Also, should I be flashing to the I337 version roms? (which is the local branded version for Rogers in Canada) Please help and help me get started, much thanks.

I'm going to delay you a little until you get a good, valid response from someone that actually knows for sure... But, I know if you flash an international ROM on an I337, it will brick the phone because some of the components are different. It seems to me that it would also brick your phone by doing the reverse, by flashing a I337 ROM on the international version.
First, you did post questions in q&a not the general forum. Second, there is a forum for the i9500, i9505 where you would probably get better answers for your device.
The canadian version is i337m...no locked bootloader as with i337
I am running an international based rom on my i337 m right now.
4g can be lte...depending on a few things..run a speedtest to be sure.
If your not getting lte speeds try to change your modem to the latest canadian version from the modem thread.

Hes trying to run it on rogers in canada..worst case he can always restore his orig modem or nandroid. But yes it should work..if I flash a 19505 modem on my i337m all I would get is either poor signal or no signal.
If we were talking kernels the perhaps diff story

can you please elaborate on the apn settings? I am not sure how to reach that in the phone, but it seems to be everything automatically done.
I have the Canadian Note 3 from Wind Mobile, which runs on AWS network. I was able to get wifi back working after flashing the kernel, but i still can't get 4G back. I tried setting up the APN, but still no go. Does anyone have solution to this?
bump! help please!

In which area did the OP of OmegaRom say that the ROM was compatible with the N900W8?
In any case, think about this...
Kernel: Controls system modules like the Wifi ✓
Baseband: Controls the communications between the network and the device. ✖ (try this)
If even flashing the baseband, you don't have your LTE back, then you know what you gotta do.
Hi everyone,
I been search over a month how to fix the problem i am having.
I bought the galaxy s4 lte-advance from Korea, i am thinking in rooting it but my problem is bigger then that.
Here is the PROBLEM:
I have t-mobile service and I do not receive 4g lte, the area i am at does have 4g LTE.
Setting of the phone,
Device Model number: : E330S
Adroid version 4.3
Based version E330SKSUBMJ6
When I go Mobile networks > data network mode> i only have 2 oppition 1st LTE 2nd 3G
No mater what i receive 4g lte, all i am receiving is 3g.
I would like to know how can I make m phone receive 4g?
I been over 100s of post in this forum couldnt find a related posted.
Same issue
Hi Filter I've had the e330s in the UK on EE since October and 4G/LTE started off working fine but since Android 4.3 I no longer have 4g. The options are there and everything looks great but never switches to 4G.
Looking at your firmware you are a bit behind though as I am too by the looks of it. I'd suggest trying the latest firmware via Odin and possibly Kies if it let's you (might need to try v2 or whatever its called). Firmware links below
Roll on 4.4!

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S4 with Omega v17 - Modem XXUEMKF and my operator has just released an update to enable 4G but of course I cannot do it since I am not on OEM android and do not wish to be either.
Currently there is no LTE/WSDMA/GSM option in my Network mode list, WSDMA/GSM only.
Can I somehow add that with an update/patch or I need to update to a latest version of OmegaROM?
Will updating the modem add LTE as an option?

Download and flash this file via recovery.
Sent from Hell ?
Thanks.
The option is now showing up
But I am not getting a 4G signal it seems. And I am in a 4G area since I have another S4 which works just fine.
Did a speedtest and pretty sure 4-5mbps is not 4g speed.
How do you tell by the icon? It's always H or H+ in the status bar.
