Hi,
I bought an the Galaxy s4 model SGH-M919V of ebay so I can use it here in Canada for the wind mobile network. The phone works well with the network and everything. The SGH-M919V model I have is actually a NEXTEL phone.
When I do a software update for my phone it tells me "the latest updates have already been installed" but I am rocking andriod version 4.3 while kitkat is out as well as other software versions.
My question is, am I supposed to wait for WIND to release their new updated version for the s4 since I am using their network or wait for NEXTEL since it is their phone?
Please mind I am new to this whole andriod stuff and this is my first andriod phone.
Thank you

Hay there, guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, which is AT&T branded called i337 which is running 4.4.4 (i337UCUFNJ4)
I have bought it in a used mobile shop here in Pakistan and have tried it with many prepaid SIMs like ufone, Jazz, Zong and Telenor
All SIMs are working fine and don't ask for any SIM authorisation or something like my Verizon i545 used to ask for and gave my SIM
verification error all the time and a Question ? mark was always on the top of my screen.
So what i want now is to install Lollipop on my device as every ROM enthusiast may want.
I know the lollipop has not been made available for my device till now but i have read here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/install-i9505-tw-5-0-i337m-t3056176
and i know that i9505 and i337 are very very same in the hardware build so i think it is right to say that we can install i9505's firmware on it.
SO if any guru/dev having been working on it can please show me a way.

And if you want a locked bootloader.
Just want to point out they do have an update officially from Samsung out to go to 5.1.1 on the US WiFi version.
I just got a wifi Android update after pressing "Software Update" under settings.
This 248MB downoad updated my S2 from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 - Build number LMY47X.T810XXUIBOH7
The update was to US version SM-T810 tablet that I have had a little over 2 weeks.

Is the bootloader locked on the Verizon Galaxy Tab S2?

Every modern device from Verizon has a locked bootloader.
Does the T-Mobile Galaxy Tab S2 come with Android 5.1.1 and does it have a locked bootloader?
Rogers Canada S2
Mine came with build LMY47X.T817WVLU1AOH2 android 5.1.1
I just bought an S2 WiFi 9.7" from Best Buy earlier this evening (25 Sep). Out of the box it had 5.1.1 on it.
I think other regions will have to wait some more, I heard there is an update ready to mitigate the stagefright vulnerability, but it's still 5.0.2

I also had a update when I purchased mine 2 weeks ago, but it was only a minor one, still 5.02
I have a UK 9.7"and it is on 5.0.2. No software update available at present.

I think you are out of luck - it looks like only WiFi models can be rooted as bootloader locked on other models. Check out the section on rooting in this S2 section. You may have to wait awhile.

Unlocked bootloader but no official update for me (I've rooted my tab)
I just got my 817T yesterday at T-Mobile, rocking 5.1.1 AOG8. Last night however, the Tab told me that an update was available. I haven't taken it yet because I didn't want to risk messing up the root process. I actually just got myself some root access 2 mins ago (I beleive a "woo hoo!!" is in order...) and I still have the notification for the update. I'd like to check out a changelog... just thought it was interesting for a Tmo device to be getting fast updates and such... Meanwhile my Note 4 is still on 5.0.1, ya know, unlike every other carrier
2 810's (one for my wife, one for myself); both on 5.0.2 out of the box, no update to 5.1.1 in sight. Maybe Samsung skips 5.1.1 in our part of the world and goes straight to "M".

Hi,
Recently bought s4 and soon realized it's not working as it should... I live in UK and can't update phone(something like no update available try again in 24h) and 4G is not working either. Is there any workaround to update it to lollipop and enable 4G? I've never rooted or modified phones so I would like to know is it worth trying or just bury it next to the rest dead samsungs. ( would like to use it as a remote for TV but seems that IR blaster is gone aswell )

I have a rooted and unlocked Sprint galaxy S4 SPL-L720 on T-Mobile with current touchWiz Build # KOT49HL720VPUFNG2 Baseband L720VPUAMDC. Can anyone recommend a custom rom?

Help with updating PRL on Sprint Galaxy S4. Have twrp and cyanogenmod . Trying to activate my backup phone to use on sprint. my phone is not connecting due to needing to update the PRL. How do you do this when you are running cyanogenmod? Please help.
I am looking to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 still on Android 4.4.4 with either AT&T/Sprint/T-Mobile/Verizon as carrier (SM-N910-A/S/T/V). Would anyone point me towards a listing on eBay/Amazon or anywhere else that would be selling a Note 4 still on Android 4.4.4?
While it's been easy for me to see listings for new Note 4s on eBay/Amazon it's been very difficult to determine what Android version ships on those new phone listings since new Note 4s are factory sealed, and as such the Android version installed from the factory cannot be determined - this is why I am asking help in finding such a listing. Please help, thanks!
In transparency, I really prefer to have the most app-compatibility when it comes to which Android version is installed, and particularly I see that Android 4.4.4 has the most compatibility with certain apps that have features otherwise incompatible/patched/made more difficult to access in Android versions higher than Android 4.4.4.
In short, Android 4.4.4 is compatible with everything I need it to be, and as a result don't want to upgrade to a higher Android version just to find out there is some app/feature not available on that new Android OS (ie. patched/restricted), and only available on Android 4.4.4.
hmmm no way to be sure if the phone is packed, btw if you dont mind sharing why are you looking for 4.4.4?
dork997, added explanation to initial post.
In addition, I know the bottom of some of the Note 4 sealed packages (maybe all?) list the Baseband version, and one can use SamMobile to determine the Baseband number that corresponds to the Android version installed.
While this Is helpful when shopping in person, it's not so when shopping online. I am still looking for a listing for a Note 4 (either SM-N910-A/S/T/V) with Android 4.4.4 if anyone would point towards a listing that would help me so much?
Additionally, does anyone know if the factories update the Android versions/Basebands on the phone as the updates happen? Like, for example, the Sprint Samung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910P) was released with Android 4.4.4 as its initial Baseband in 2014 - does that mean that the factories stick to that initial Baseband version all through the years in production or do the factories at some point update the Basebands, so that more recently made Note 4s now ship with an updated Baseband/Android version?
Can anyone elaborate on this question please?
I am also looking for a way to downgrade to 4.4.4. Since i have 2 N910U, originally stayed on 4.4.4, without update for best stability. However, one of them got "no signal" problem, and replaced circuit board after maintenance service, thus i am forced to upgrade to 5.0.1, and no longer have choice to downgrade. It takes me a lot of time to try to downgrade! Android system updates too much, and won't let user downgrade, it's not a reasonable policy.

I was under the impression that all the bootloaders for AT&T and Verizon were locked; whereas, Sprint and T-Mobile were unlocked - can anyone confirm if this is the case?
As a correction, the video linked shows a downgrade not from 5.1.1. (Baseband N910TUVU2DOK2) but from 5.0.1 (N910TUVU1COG2) to Android 4.4.4 (Baseband: N910TUVU1ANK4) on the T-Mobile Samsung Note 4 (SM-N910T) which is still great to hear.
Building on that video linked, would it be possible to downgrade a T-Mobile Samsung Note 4 (SM-N910T) on Android 5.1.1 (N910TUVU2DOK2) all the way back to Android 4.4.4 (N910TUVU1COG2)?

I think that T-Mobile Note 4 is quite behind updates from samsung. They don't even get the update "OJ" things that block bootloaders from being downgraded to lower version.

You'd better ask the video uploader.
You can downgrade both the Verizon and T-Mobile variant down to KitKat at any point since the Verizon bootloader has been unlocked and T-Mobile has never been locked.

Nope that's wrong US Note 4's cannot be downgraded back to Kitkat. Only the N910F and N910W8 can be downgraded.

The Tmobile one requires the stock rom from the rent a center model that's stuck on Kitkat otherwise you cannot downgrade
