I successfully flashed i9505 Omega ROM v7 on I337M (Canadian)
Everyhing works fine but the wifi. I can't seem to turn my wifi on.
Tried looking into it, something about flashing a kernel. So I tried but doesn't work...
Anybody else have same problem that can help me?
Did you manually add in your apn settings, because that rom does not add them automatically, and you said you flashed a different kernel, was it one for YOUR device...i337m kernel?
These 2 things will get you data and wifi for sure.
The Ax says good luck!
v11 on i337m
I didn't want to start a new topic as this one seems to be titled correctly and am hoping to keep XDA clean and getting all the Omega Rom and i337m questions in one place.
I installed Omega v11 on my i337m (Samsung s4) and the ROM worked perfectly however I was no longer able to bring up my IMEI number. When entering *#06# my phone would just show a black screen where the number should be shown. I of course got scared and ran around in circles for a while before calming down and flashing stock FIDO firmware. (phone was originally rogers, was unlocked and used on bell then sold to me) I rooted the phone, installed Omega and then had the issue with it not being able to show the IMEI.
Flashed Omega v11 for i9095
(also bought the omega files pro app because it's a bad ass ROM.) Hoping to go back to it but need to clear up this issue.
Any ideas on why this would happen?
Hi all, good evening to all.
Need to fix my issue as soon as possible because need to unlock the phone and use it out of country. My AT&T Galaxy S4 (SGH i337) on Android Verion 4.2.2, Baseband Verison i337 ucuamf3, Build # JDQ39.i337 ucuamf3, Kernel Version i337 ucuamf3.
Spoke to AT&T customer service for few times regarding on the unlock code for the phone, confirmed i have the correct unlock code for the phone,and am had tried 6 times by using the same code was provided by AT&T, unfortunately every time i tried keep saying invalid number.
The phone was flashed one time by myself but can't remember which method i used but was found in this site somewhere.
Today went to AT&T store, a very nice sale person told me because the phone was unable to get unlock because it was flashed, he can tell when the phone reboot itself it has a "unlock lock simple" and "custom" word on the screen. He told me the only way to have the phone unlock is have the phone flash back to original by using ODIN 3.0.7 and ODIN Flash of MF3.
Can anyone please tell me above is right programs to have my Galaxy S4 flash back to original? If they are the right programs, where i can get them and step by step instructions to flash my phone.
Need help badly, thanks in advance

You need to know way more information than can be posted in a single reply. The best thing for you to do is read the "pinned" threads in the general and Q & A sections. Those threads will provide you with the information you need to know about your phone and answer the questions you have. If you try to rush things, you will end up with an unusable phone. Good luck.
Hello guys, I have been going madness today trying to unlock my gf's Telcel Mexico Galaxy S4 i337m.
I initially tried from the stock branded rom but I couldn't pass the first page in *#0011#. So I decided to debrand it using a Samsung stock fw I337MVLUEMK6.
Unfortunately even with the debranded rom I have gotten the same result, unable pass the first page in *#0011# no matter how many times I would hit back, and the option 1 or whatever makes no difference.
At that point I stumbled upon this thread and I decided to give it a shot, however no go with this method either, probably wasn't even the point of my situation.
So at this point my questions are, is there another method beside buying an unlock code to get this phone unlocked? If anyone of you who has had luck unlocking the phone with this method would pass me it's HiddenMenu.apk, would it work if I sideload it onto my gf's S4?
Thanks
Any help??

You have to flash an earlier modem to either let you get to the hidden menu or that will work with an app called RegionLock Away. AFAIK that's the only way to do it. Do a search, some people have asked and figured it out but i have the I337 so it's different for me.

Thank you for the answer.. I had somehow figured that out but I wasn't sure. On to this thread it is stated that they have achieved to successfully unlock their S4's through Hidden Service Menu with the MF3 OTA fw.
At this point my question is, can I go with the modem_CWM_I337UCUAMF3.zip(7/9/2013)(US) baseband found on this thread and flashing it over the stock fw I337MVLUEMK6 ?
As far as I know the modem_CWM_I337UCUAMF3.zip(7/9/2013)(US) baseband is a 4.2.2 while I337MVLUEMK6 is a 4.3 version, so I just want to make sure it won't brick the device.
Apart from that, the two phones should be identical right? Like I said this one is a i337m Telcel one from Mexico, while modem_CWM_I337UCUAMF3.zip(7/9/2013)(US) should be AT&T right?
Thanks

You can't flash that one, but you should be able to flash one of older ones. You are right in that that modem is for the AT&T one, and that means it actually won't work for you. You'll have to flash one that has I337M instead of I337U. Besides that, you should be good.

Thanks for your reply once again.. In fact as you have said I tried the I337U AT&T version and obviously I didn't have any GSM/UMTS signal, so I went with the modem_CWM_I337MUMUAMDL.zip{5/30/2013}(Mexico) and I can finally get into the Services Menu, I can do the whole unlock process listed here, however once the phone reboots the result is the same, S4 doesn't read any different simcard beside the one it is locked on, which is Telcel.
Any idea? Is there a specific baseband version that does this trick on i337m? Additionally, is there a website where I can find all kinds of baseband versions for the i337m?
Thanks

Hi, im from Tijuana i also have that smartPhone and was having the same problem, what i did and it worked for me was to install this firmware
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=27549
From sammobile it is the Telcel oficial with JB 4.3 then i put my Movistar chip and it work..
Saludos...
Yeah, there's a new firmware from samsung that unlocks phones by default.
I've tested it with that exact same one.

I did a previous downgrade to 4.2 tho.
Using that 4.2 firmware, and the *#0011# code, didn't work for me.
So, I returned to the stock branded 4.3, placed a Movistar SIM, and boom! unlocked.
Didn't work too good because of the ugly 4.3 Telcel branded firmware, but at least it's unlocked.
After that I decided to install Goldeneye ROM, and the phone was carrier locked again.
The developer told me that a proper unlock method would be needed to achieve unlocking.
I managed to make a nandroid backup of Telcel's firmware, and Goldeneye ROM, and:
- inserted SIM different from telcel to the phone, booted into Telcel's firmware a couple of times and got it working
- flashed the Goldeneye ROM and retained the unlocking.
the only thing is:
if you ever place a Telcel SIM, the lock will return.
So far I've managed to keep it working once (2 full weeks) without problems.
Yesterday I tried to do it again, and every once in a while the SIM lock returns.
-------------
In other news, anyone knows how to flash other ROM than Telcel's and that buggy 4.2 I found?
Every single ROM I try to flash through ODIN gives me an error, and won't let me flash.
I've tried all these with no results:
I337MUMUENB1_I337MUUBENC1_TTT.zip
I9505XXUENAA_I9505YXXENA7_PHE.zip <--- thankfully that didn't let me flash, it was for a 9505 ::V
I337MVLUAMG1_I337MOYAAMG1_BMC.zip
I337MVLUEMK6_I337MOYAEMK6_PCM.zip
I337MVLUEMK6_I337MOYAEMK6_SPC.zip

With stock ROM 4.4.2 Telcel I've been able to..
I had an issue where when I installed Cyanogenmod that my S4 was stuck in roaming. USCC tried for two hours to get it working but then filed for a replacement under warranty. Well I got this one running after trying many things. I used ODIN to go back to kitkat and followed this post.
http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/topic/2592-last-attempt-to-fix-stuck-in-roaming-mode-for-the-sgs3/
It worked and fixed the roaming issue and now I can use my phone as like before.
I want to use Cyanogenmod but what can I do to avoid this issue again? Also, where can I find other ROMs compatible with my device?
Hey everyone, I been looking around the forums here and other sites and have learned a lot of info in pieces but I really need help with a particular issue. A friend of mine gave me a Sprint Galaxy SM-G900P (Galaxy S5) which is (of course) CDMA with GSM compatibility. Im unsure at the moment what service he was wanting to use but I know it is a GSM carrier (US) because he has a SIM he wanted to use. I owe him a favor so I told him I would try. Besides going the route of purchasing a unlock box and unlocking the phone with that, I discovered the SSU apk which SIM-Unlocks the phone. I downgraded the phone from Lollipop 5.0 stock to Android 4.4.2 KitKat (G900PVPU1ANE5) with ODIN. (FYI, i was stuck in download mode with no recovery mode for a week before finally getting one to work, and so happen to be that version that went through)..... I downloaded SSU and it unlocked the phone and I switched mobile network mode from CDMA to GSM Units. (NOTE: it says 4.4.2 and up will not work with USA carrier SIM cards without downgrading the Modem but I have not tried just yet) Im about to Root the phone but here is where my question comes in. I have read of people flashing roms to get their phones to work with certain carriers and other functions. Will rooting help me out at all? I guess IM asking if there is a ROM that I can flash onto the phone to enable the use of whatever carrier he is wanting to use with it. I know thats most likely useful in the situation, but Im awaiting that answer as we type. ANY help would be greatly appreciated ))) Thank you all.
Anyone? :/
