Yep tried it . Pretty good must say but I had no mobile data . Maybe cause my phone is a sprint phone. Lol.. Nah but it was fun playing with it . But I believe that version is for the international s4.

Nice to know it boots up. You could have backed up and restored APNs to get data to work.

I tried this with a Sammy Deluxe ROM and had little luck because the dev didn't implement an APN menu...

Yea that's what I'm facing... I've even flashed back to 4.3 and used APN backup and restore but APN doesn't work with 4.4...

I just nandroid restored, but I only get 3g, no 4g. Not sure how my APNs are still screwed up despite a restore...

Are there any ideas on how to get back stock data settings? Really missing my 4g...

AOSP dialer is screwy so I just flashed a Sprint TouchWiz ROM and that fixed it, even back on CyanMod

Roaming bug

I don't believe this has been posted for the e4gt but came across this error after flashing AOCP ROM and it stuck on everything I flashed afterwards. Roaming would not work, at all. I spent 3 days without signal at work for 10 hours a day.
I tried clean installs of roms I knew worked, I tried to Odin back to stock, I tried to nand back, nothing seemed to work, until the guys over in the SGS3 forums found the answer.
Go to settings, and toggle roaming on and off. Not roaming guard, but roaming itself.
So simple it was laughable, but it works.
Again, I didn't see this posted anywhere in our forums, but if it has been please don't flame, I only wanted to share the fix. I don't remember who out was that found it but they definitely deserve huge thanks!:beer::thumbup:

Sprint diagnostics apk.

OK, so on the toroplus sprint gnex, there was an app that was used to update the prl and profile. Is there any way to get this to work on our device? Would be awesome to be able to update the prl and profile on aosp roms.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
No you have to flash stock update then flash aosp so make a nandroid backup.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Thats what I've always done, just wish there was a simpler way to update thru aosp roms.

AT&T and Verizon have locked down bootloaders. When the OTA install starts, it blows a Qfuse making it impossible 'at this time' to downgrade back to a previous build.

So I couldn't use Odin to flash an earlier version of the baseband to also root, and stop myself from upgrading to mf3 again?

No. The bootloader is locked, and does not allow downgrade. Once you are on mf3, there is no going back.
No. It is impossible to downgrade anything. Read up on it. There is more in depth stuff than what I said. As of now, there is no way to downgrade, install a custom recovery, flash a rom, use Odin, etc. Only root is possible.

I was really thinking about rooting because i wanted to install this audio mod for music. That's really the only thing I wanna do. Also, to get rid of some bloat ware. But I still have very good battery

Root is possible, but if you mess something up, you may not be able to fix it until we get an Odin flushable MF3.be very careful with it.

If anything goes wrong with installing the mod you may be screwed. Also, saying you want to "get rid" of bloatware leads me to believe you want to delete. Don't, just freeze them.
I would wait--

Keep your eye on this app called Safestrap by Hashcode. It's being developed for Verizon S4 but most likely will work on AT&T's as well. Read more on what it is and other cool things about it here, be sure to read thoroughly so you fully understand what it does haha.

I'm on MF3 as well and I know how you feel. At least we can root.
Good things come to those who wait

It's never tailored for our device to work properly, though I don't exactly know why. In shorter words, JellyBam is not available for Epic 4G.

Some roms require you to delete the boot animation for it to boot. Try that before you give up on it.

Sprint roms

So any devs working on any roms for our phone? Ive tried all of the others that were made for different providers and unfortunately I cant get data enabled because they dont have apns in their rom version. ;/

No roms for you grasshopper
Sent from my SM-N900P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I think you are going to see a drastic decline in ROM development with all the Xposed apps out there.
Pretty easy to download Xposed and the apps you want. Then do your own mods. Easier to tailor it how you want it. IMO
There is stuff in the works but I need experienced testers for some of these.
One test, which can be done through Odin, I am about to post.
Well that sucks, I personal like finding a rom that has the features and everything. I really hope someone develops a aosp rom.
