I think it's the network or the ROM or the modem.

Haha.
I'm not too sure but check your device's thread for a post with radios or modems.

Maybe because with CDMA it is locked to Sprint no matter what ? So when you unlock its only able to use the GSM network? Just a theory.

In the GSM unlock thread, one person had claimed data to work on RUIM, after unlock, he changed mode to RUIM only using DFS cdma tool. I have tried that too and all other possible ways, no luck.

Can I flash sprint Gs4 roms onto my tmobile Gs4

Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I would highly not suggest it, unless you like to open cans of worms and pull your hair out or possibly have a phone that doesn't operate like it should.

The reason I ask is because you can use att Gs4 roms and the International 9505 model on the tmobile Gs4. Thanks

You can flash.. its been awhile since I've done it on my sprint s4 just because I had data issues with other carriers roms. But u can do it just have to flash a tmo kernel I think..

It's because they're all basically the same phone. LTE gsm S4. We are CDMA. So you would run into a lot of problems. Data being one of if not the biggest.

Don't do it, two different cell technologies (Sprint/CDMA vs. T-Mobile GSM), raises likelihood of ending up with a brick.

You can flash verizon and sprint roms on a tmobile note 2 just by flashing tmobile baseband after the rom...I don't see why it wouldn't work on s4

Those are TARs. You DO NOT flash those in recovery. Only through Odin.

No. The developer would have to specifically implement that. In that case, if they did, why would they implement it on a verizon version. Your best luck would be on the universal ROMS

Is the Unlocked 935U model a better buy?

I know some of you guys just flash the "U" firmware, but I want to just buy the phone unlocked. For the ones that just bought the unlocked phone, instead of flashing the "U" firmware, did you notice any problems using the phone on the VZ network? Do updates actually roll out faster?
No problems at all. I had the U model when it first was released and kept alternating between vzw, tmo and U firmware. Everything worked per the appropriate firmware. Moreover,b it's cheaper on BH photo since they don't charge tax as well

Go to B&H website there you will find the information.
Thanks!
Did just discover it would be pointless for me because in the future if I want to use it on ringplus it won't work

The answer is NO. The Verizon version is CDMA only.
Nope, I flashed the unlocked version on the verizon model and after a week it started running like ****. Just spend an extra 100$ and buy the unlocked model on swappa and call it a day.

You're kidding right? Every major Verizon phone in the last two years is factory unlocked. I'veused a Verizon LG G3, G4, S6,S7 , and S7 Edge on ATT.
