I had the EXACT same problem m8....use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601
Download the patch on your SD card use file manager to install the app....patch the new version. restore your phone to any backup you might have...reboot...your operator will now show and you will be able to make phone calls! I think I spent about 8 hours with this problem last night before I came across that thread. The guy is a life saver!

[Q] Looking for Official Telus SGH-I337M firmware

Hello Everybody
So I rotted my S4 and been flashing roms and gapps since I bought the sweet thing. I use TWRP and I always keep the stock rooted rom backed up on my SD card but a few days ago my SD card messed up and required a format to fix and now I can't find a stock Telus firmware to flash. I've found lots of Canadian stock roms but they seem to be all Rogers or Bell images. Anyone out there help me out ? I want to hit up stock for awhile and get the official 4.3 update from Telus when it drops later this month, so I can root and keep the adventure alive.

You can use any Canadian rom for any
Galaxy s4 i337m there is only one rom fits all. If you install bell rom on Telus phone it will install Telus everything .
If you install rogers on telus same thing

[Q] Virgin Mobile Stock ROM?

I have a Virgin Mobile S5 - and was thinking of rooting it and a recovery also.
My ROM G900PVPU1ANE5
I see in the Sprint S5 area it will work (I did similar with my VM S II)
Anyway; is there a way to get a backup of my Stock ROM? - There are no V.M. ROMS in the lists (or anywhere I look for that matter) except Canada and it is different.
I wondered about something like Rickys Rom Kitchen to get a ROM BU - I will read that post and see if I can make any sence of it all.
I ask, just in case something was to happen - and without a Stock Virgin Mobile ROM I could not get it back to stock.
FWIIW - My S5 does not seem to have anything Knox on it -
Edit - when installing recovery - it reported knox

There are dozens of firmware repositories, not to mention a links to a lot of firmware on this site. It's difficult to believe that you did a decent search and couldn't find any stock firmware for your carrier.
Tell us what sites you have checked and what keywords you searched with and no doubt someone will be able to point out a site you missed.

and maybe a couple others i did not see quickly in my history
I searched with many terms;
Galaxy S5 ROMS
Galaxy S5 Firmware
Virgin Mobile Galaxy S5 ROMS
G900PVPU1ANE5 <-- Sprint has same number (But theirs is branded Sprint and will likely show a Sprint Splash on boot)
(As I had this same type thing with my Galaxy S II from Virgin Mobile a good while ago and had to use a Sprint ROM)
I will be a VERY happy camper, if someone can find a site I missed! (With my V.M. ROM/Firmware on it)

Since you gave details of actually having searched (most people claim they have, but really didn't), I did some digging for you.
The reason that you are having difficulty finding stock Virgin (US) firmware is because Virgin US is a Sprint MVNO (Virtual Network Operator) that is wholly owned by Sprint since 2009. This means that Virgin US uses the Sprint network and is supported by Sprint vis a vis the Virgin US offices in New Jersey.
As a MNVO, Virgin US uses the same S5 variant as Sprint, the same MCC and the same firmware. Only the CSC, MNC and APN info (and a few branded apps) vary. Moreover, since Sprint is using multi-CSC firmware, the firmware is often tagged as SPR (Sprint) or Unknown when it actually is the original, stock firmware for Sprint, Virgin US and Boost (another Sprint MVNO).
So the original firmware for your phone is in fact the Sprint version. If your phone currently has Virgin US firmware on it, then installing the multi-CSC firmware should retain your correct CSC. If it was me, I'd just do a quick check afterwards.. your CSC should obstensibly be VMU.
SPR = Sprint
VMU = Virgin US
BST = Boost Mobile
.

Tkx for the details ffft
I may just go ahead and root it - and put a custom recovery on also.
I rarely have had issues with my cell phones (Warranty that is)
I just would feel better if I could restore it.
I do not know much at all about Cell Phones and the terminology (I looked up a few of them you have here)
I just found a way to check these (by *#1234# ) and came up with:
AP G900PVPU1ANE5
CP G900PVPU1ANE5
CSC G900PSPT1ANE5
I do not know what the AP and CP are but at least I can check them

AP firmware version
CP radio version
CSC sales code (region or carrier code)
The long CSC is a bit cryptic. But you can use an app like Phone Info to get the more commonly used three character code. Or if you are rooted, you could look at the build.prop file.
.

OK I installed PhilZ CWM Advanced Touch (Recovery) without root.
Then I did a full back up
and also found a "Clone ROM" and did that also
(it makes an update.zip)
Now I "should" be able to root - and if something happens flash the ROM I made with PhilZ's CWM
** See below Post - it does not stick when not rooted (Unless I did something wrong)

OK I rooted (CF auto root)
And I still show the Virgin Mobile splash
I did have some problem with PhilzCWM until I rooted - it would not "stay" there
I could run Odin and install it and one time boot to it and do back ups
But next boot it was gone
After I rooted - I re installed it - and it "stuck"

All normal behaviour.
Glad you got there. Everything runs better with root The objection to your custom recovery before you rooted was no doubt Knox seeing it as an unauthorized change.

Great thread
Really loving your thread. I just came from a broken s4 to Virgin mobile s5. I understand Odin/root/rom installs/returning to factory stock to update etc...
Obviously Virgin Mobile s5 threads are limited here and would like to work together and update each other.
I got root without tripping knox "not cf autoroot method" but "towelroot" method.
First thing we need to work on is getting the .tar file for odin to return to factory stock if something happens.
With all the updates that will probebly be rolling in soon im reluctant to install a custom recovery because you can't update it "over the air."
Second thing is i have no idea to get a official thread going.

Other thought
I orginally came from a Virgin Mobile Evo 4g 3D and the ROMs was aroma based. There was a specific setting if you had a sprint or virgin mobile phone during the installation. I believe it's about having to change APN settings and whatnot. Need to research this Sprint/Virgin Mobile/ROM duo more and what exactly needs to be changed.
Im confident the Sprint ROM itself is good. Just particular settings, one for example, the APN needs to be switched back to whatever Virgin Mobile is.

Interesting tid-bit the Phone info app shows my Samsung s/n as 00000000000 now
No Country of Origin
Knox Warr = 0x1 (Does that mean knox is tripped)?
Product Code: Not Active
I noticed that there does not seem to be a s/n on it - except for the MEID (hex and dec) and a ICC ID

I updated with Kies 3 to G900PVPU1ANK4
This (natrually) made my Virgin Moblie S5 Stock again.
Then did both CF auto root and PhilZ CWM Advanced Touch (Recovery)
And it all seems to work fine again.

HELP PLS

I need your help desperately! I just got my virgin mobile s5 yesterday and I am new to running Custom ROMs. I rooted it and successfully installed PhilZ CWM Advanced Touch. From here I think I skipped a step in CWM to make a proper backup (yeah I'm that noob). Well I successfully installed Slimkat and got it to run on my phone, but I couldn't configure the APN properly on virgin mobile after countless installations of different "universal fixes" for the vmu apn. Now I can't get it back to the stock firmware! I am downloading the sprint firmware right now, specifically the G900PVPU1ANE5_G900PSPT1ANE5_SPR.zip. I couldn't find virgin mobile stock firmware. Do you think it will work if I flash it on there? If not, do you happen to have a backup to the G900P virgin mobile version I could flash? I just need service again.

To get back to stock try using Samsung Kies 3 program on your computer

I'm trying that and Kies 3 is saying that it's not supported. When I try and do an emergency firmware recovery the phone doesn't even show up! Any other ideas please?

Also know that I am successfully running on slimkat but I don't have an img for the stock software

Make sure your computer sees the S5
Not sure what else to try.
I have never found a VM S5 Stock ROM
I do not have a stock ROM BU.

Okay I'll still try a few things. Do you have any backups or know of any roms that for sure work with the virgin mobile data service? I am just running into a bunch of issues with slimkat and if you knew a rom that was compatible with Virgin Mobile and this model of s5 I could have mobile service again! especially if you knew the steps how to do it

I would suggest you do it the way I did - It worked for me.

I used Option 2: Download Chainfire's S5 Autoroot (Odin included in package)

Ahh yes I also took these steps to root and download a custom recovery on my phone, which I succeeded in doing. Perhaps I haven't made my problem clear. I have PhilZ installed and everything along with a rooted phone. I am currently running Slimkat but I do not have any mobile service so the phone is useless at the moment. My issue is is that I have no ROM backed up. And look, I'm sorry to pester you like this but at this point I would honestly offer you monetary incentive if you help me resolve this. I'm pretty desperate :silly: I saved up for a long time for this phone and I would really like to use its cellular functions. What ROM do you currently use on your phone and what steps did you take to get mobile service working on it? Thank you very much for your time

simple boostmobile/sprint question

So I don't usually like to mess around with flashing roms because It worry's me a lot that ill completely ruin my phone but I am smart enough to have rooted many galaxy s3 and s5 series phones in the past. I have a galaxy s5 with Boost Mobile (SM-G900P) and When I factory reset my phone I went through TWRP and stupidly erased the system partition. Now I need a rom to flash but I see that the same model is used with sprint and virgin mobile. Will any android rom for SM-G900P work with my phone? If yes or no What ones do you guys recommend.
Extra information
I reset it because my private mode stoped working a reset has fixed it in the past
I Had Lollipop on it (btw will a marshmallow build work?)
Please let me know thank you so much!

Install Stock T-Mob firmware on SM-G900V

I was given a branded Verizon Samsung Galaxy S-5 running Android 6.0.1
The Config Version is J13SAMSMG900V.1
Build Number is MMB29M.G900VVRU2DPF4
Kernal Version is 3.4.0 [email protected] #1
Baseband Version is G900VVRU2DPF4
I want to replace the Verizon build with a T-Mob, with all the functionality. Is this possible?
Will T-Mob look at it as a T-Mob branded phone (receiving updates and such)?
Will the Play Store work properly with the updates?
Will Android Pay work (or other NFC oriented pay apps)?
I am new to trying this, so the simpler the better.
Thanks.

It is possible to have a t-mobile system Img installed all this does is allow you to flash a g900t aosp based rom onto your device doing this is extremely buggy no data calling or texting is the common result of doing this
as for an Ota update it would more than likely hardbrick your device if you had a g900t system Img installed on a g900v
but to answer your question no it is not possible bootloaders are g900v still so you cant get g900t firmwares installed and if you try to change your bootloaders you will hardbrick permanently with no way to recover
It is not worth it a few people claim to have changed a g900v into a g900t but they don't provide a guide or files so they are lying
Don't believe them

I tried changing a g900v into a g900t and made a rookie mistake I was partially sucessfull one or 2 boot loaders changed but not all 3 trying to unlock a g900t bootloader with a g900v method and got a hardbrick waiting for a debrick img to be made
If I get it debricked I will try a g900f conversion instead of a g900t conversion

Identical to jrhack. I already had a T-Mobile account, and don't want a Vz, but I overlooked learning that it was a Vz phone when I agreed to buy it. At this time it still has the Vz firmware, software, apps. I would like to debloat it and root it.
So far, on the T-Mobile network, it works fine, except at times sending an MMS will fail, but not always.
I would appreciate your recommendations. There is no warranty or service provider involved here. Just me and the phone.
Thanks in advance.

To get root downgrade to lolipop ok3 or pb1 firmwares and use Jr Kruse ok3 root method on xda under s5 Verizon section and then debloat stock firmware and a good close to stock rooted debloated rom is jrkruses PB1 deodexed rooted deknoxed debloated rom

I have a verizon s5 with a cid15 so i can unlock the bootloader.. My thing is. Is there any possibilities of changing the baseband to any other baseband and ultimately getting that over to the tmobile baseband? Kindof like on the S7 edge where you can flash the U firmware and change the baseband.. Would we have any luck on anything with this phone ultimately being able to change that phone over completely? Just wishful thinking on my part.. hah
