I have an At&t S4, and I want to move it to T-Mobile, but I need the wifi calling. Can I find a rooted stock TW rom with WiFi-Calling and flash it on properly without a problem? Thanks!

What firmware are you running? There's a nice guide on running cross carrier ROMs in the general section, just need to know what build number you're on so you use the right recovery. But yeah, ROMs are cross compatible so you could head into the T-Mobile section and grab something.

Hello,
I have an AT&T S4 that I want to run on Tmobile. It was running Android 4.3/MF3 baseband so I was able to install safestrap and root it. I am running the stock rooted ROM (with SIM unlock via region lock away) and the QCN file update to get 4G LTE/HSPA and 3G.
I would like to install a custom ROM but each time I do I get a bootloop. I am installing via safestrap in a slot I created NOT the stock rom slot. But as I said each time I try to boot I get a boot loop and have to return to the stock rooted rom via the stock rom slot. I got wicked rom to load but Wifi didn't work.
Am I able to install tmobile ROMS on this device (I want to be able to tether)? How do I do that? Which kernel do I use, the ATT or tmobile kernel? Do I install the ROM in the stock slot or the safestrap virtual slot?
I don't want to wind up with a device I cannot use on tmobile. Also, my computer does not see the S4 any longer. It sees my Note 3 fine but when I plug in the S4 it doesn't show as a device.
Which custom rom were you attempting to install? Was it a 4.2.2 touchwiz rom?

I'm running 4.3 so does that mean I can only run 4.3 ROMS in the virtual slot?
My baseband ends with MF3 and my build number ends in MK2. What are my opitons?

If your build number is MK2, you're on 4.3. You need Safestrap 3.71, and you can only run other 4.3 Touchwiz ROMs. Kernel doesn't matter because Safestrap does not flash kernels. You should be fine flashing any TMobile 4.3 TW ROM.

You can flash ROMs from any variant, they just may not work as well and you have to make sure you flash a kernel that matches your phone afterwards (Tmobile rom, but kernel from AT&T section)

Hello, I've installed tons of custom roms on quite a few different devices before, but this is the first one I've owned with a bootloader that can't be unlocked and I'm still kind of confused as to how all of these workarounds function and what ROMs they're compatible with. I've unlocked the phone and am using it on T-Mobile. It's currently on the MLD KitKat leaked version.
This is possibly wrong, but my understanding is that you are currently unable to install custom ROMs like CM and Omni on this device. So would it be possible to at least flash the stock T-Mobile ROM instead of AT&T? Right now, I have no access to hotspot, which is included in my plan, and I'd also like to use WiFi calling if possible. Has this been done before and is it possible on my firmware?
Thanks in advance for any help; it's greatly appreciated.

You can not flash their stock firmware. You can, however, use Safestrap to flash a ROM from their section, which as long as it is based from the stock firmware will have those features.

Also, if you havent done so, you might want to enable AWS for further compatibility. You will need to use the stock AT&T TW ROM in order to do so.

Since you're using Safestrap, you can't flash a kernel anyways due to the locked bootloader. You should be able to go ahead and flash that.

I was able to root my phone properly. The key reason to root the phone was no access to tethering. Details for my situation:
Samsung S4, i337, MK2, andriod 4.3 from AT&T. I unlocked it and have been using with Rogers here in Canada but the tethering gives the Mobile data not available/invalid sim error.
I researched for solutions here and on google and all solutions required root, so I rooted the phone using the guide mentioned above. After that I used the method in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535141
However, since I am using non-AT&T sim, this does not work any more. Further I uninstalled all AT&T apps using ES file explorer but still no luck.
Then I figured out and tried other solutions like FoxFi, etc etc.
Then I used the framework file from the thread below which was able to turn the toggle on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512981&highlight=at&t
Now I can see the the tethering tuned on. I can also connect to the wifi. however, it does not connect to internet. I think I am still missing some piece. I cannot post in the thread above as it is developers section. But I am lost, there is no further solution that I could find on forum or google. My mobile data works fine, I can turn on the tehter, I can connect to the hotspot, but I cannot connect to internet. It is a phone issue for sure.
I am not sure what to do in this case. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I have tried this as well, but it did not work.

Does anyone think flashing with stock ROM will help? does it delete all system files altogether? But the only stock ROMs available are AT&T, so I do not see it helping much. Any ideas?

If there's a tethering mod for the i337m on 4.3, try using that tethering provision instead. Otherwise, you could try flashing a ROM that uses an i337m base, but you can't flash their stock firmware directly.

I have tried that tethering mod (if that means replacing the tethering.odex file in the system)
I don't know what i337m base ROM is, but if it is installing AT&T stock ROM, then won't I be in same situation again?

I337m is the Canadian S4 model, I'm saying to use a tethering method designed for that (the two you posted were for the Verizion and AT&T but not Canadian) or try a TOM based off the Canadian firmware. That way it'll have the file for your specific carrier tethering already in it.

You'll have to look in the All Things MK2 and NB1 thread for install instructions and if it needs a modified updater-script for Safestrap. Also, the latest version is a 4.4.2 ROM so you'll either need to update to KitKat, use the KitKat Magic Toolkit, or use an older version of Goldeneye.
Hello all,
I am running a touch wiz rom, Skyfall, and TWRP 2.7 is my recovery. I was wondering if there are any custom roms for the Samsung Galaxy S4 - SGH-I337Z from Cricket. The codename is 'jflteaio' and I didn't want to brick the device by simply 'trying' one of the I337 Roms. In fact, the only reason I have Skyfall is because a dev(hroark13) confirmed it working on his device on Android Forums. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

Try the unified section, im pretty sure there are roms and kernels made for our S4s, and compatible with all models.

I looked in the unified section and I could not find a place to ask questions about my Cricket model of the S4. It said it was only for Development. If at all possible, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Late answer to this question for anyone looking at this. There's not much info. out there about the i337z from Cricket/AIO.
First, install TWRP found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cket-aio-sgh-i337z-jflteaio-twrp-2-7-t2858698. You'll have to install a terminal emulator app from the Play Store to follow the installation instrucitons.
Second, make a backup using TWRP. You'll need this if you flash a ROM and your S4 won't boot.
Third, flash a custom Touchwiz rom. Goldeneye worked on my i337z with 4.4.2, baseband ND3, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313469. I flashed it as an AT&T i337 safestrap selection in the Aroma settings that appear after you click install in TWRP. Another poster said they liked Skyfall by the same developer as Goldeneye. Wifi didn't work for me when I flashed the Skyfall ROM, but you may just need to change the build.prop file to ro.securestorage.support=true from ro.securestorage.support=false.

Just out of curiosity, do you know for sure that roms meant for the i337 won't automatically work on this particular device? Eventually, I want to run a GPe lollipop ROM.

Not for sure,. I've gotten AT&T ROMs to work if the ROM has an Aroma installer to allow you to select to NOT install a kernel, normally shown as AT&T Safestrap. I also was able to install the Goldeneye ROM that does include a kernel. I'm not sure why as there may be some compatibility between the kernels. By in large, most AT&T ROMs that include a kernel would not boot after installing.
I'd go with GPE Lollipop, or flash ATT's CWM and flash cyanogenmod's 12.1. that one's pretty nice. Or just stick with kitkat. anything kitkat, by now, has its bugs worked out. Really liked slimrom
