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.

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?

Model: Galaxy S4 SCH-R970UK
Carrier: US Cellular
Problem: Cannot activate phone. No LTE/MMS
So I flashed the CM 11 Nightly Rom to my S4. It went well, The bootloader didn't put the brakes on me. It booted and I was loving the rom, I begin the *228 activation process and it doesn't go through successfully. I rebooted and removed the battery hoping it would remedy the situation.
Nope.
After many, MANY failed attempts, conversations with US Cellular Technical Support, A visit to the store.. I decided to factory reset and flash the stock firmware to the device. Did all that.. Still no activation.
I need help please, If anyone can give me a heads up where to go from here.
Currently looking at a different version (same model) of the Stock Firmware. Not sure if I should trust the source though.
Side question, Is Terafile.co, More specifically Samsung-updates.com ...?
Hi, I have an S4 that I got from rogers (i337m). When I initially rooted it I was running cyanogen mod ROM but I had around 5 GB of storage missing. I read from somewhere that going back to stock would fix this problem. I used Odin and followed a guide and went to stock 4.2.2. However, now my WiFi and LTE is not working and I'm having trouble making calls.
Hey guys,
About 2 months ago I brought an i9505, it's overseas stock I think it had firmware for Netherlands? Anyway it worked perfectly fine in Australia. No issues what so ever. I recently though ok I really want to root my phone and install an AOSP rom. I flashed the 4.4.4 Google Play Edition rom located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353 I also tried out a few other ROMs but with every ROM I had this problem with reception dropping down to 1 bar randomly, then at times the antenna would be gone all together and had some circle with a line through it. Sometimes it comes back but if I leave my phone over night when I wake up in the morning I cant send sms's or make calls.
I don't know what im doing wrong ive followed the instructions corresponding to the ROM developers notes. I really don't want to return to stock firmware because that's the only firmware that currently works fine.
Cheers.
So i got my beautiful Galaxy S5 from Telus and as usual with all the phones i have, i unlocked it. So far so good. Next thing was to root it and to start with custom ROMs. So I used the method described in galaxys5root.com with 100% of success. I tried couple of ROMs and i did not like it. My problems started when i decided to go back to Stock ROM from Telus. I flashed the stock rom that i found on the same site i used for rooting the phone and got a Bell phone. Now whatever i do, i am ending with Bell stock S5 and i want my Telus stock. Trying emergency recovery didn't help. I could take the phone back because i have it only for a couple of days, but i put a good screen protector (40$) and i do not want to pay for unlocking the phone again as well.
Please help me in solving my problem. Any feedback is highly appreciated:-.
Hello All,
I have a samsung galaxy s4 i337m in canada using the rogers netowork. Ive been using customs roms shortly after i got this phone. Ive used samsung rom, original, GPE but eventually settled on Cyanogenmod. I use TWRP for the i9505 which allows me to use any rom (since CM12 doesnt have a build for the i337m, and other builds wont flash in a i337m TWRP).
Anyway ive been using CM 12.1 with a i9505 build for some time, and it works great. I had to update my modem to the NI2 build to get it to work, but its been working flawless ever since.
Now to my problem, buddy has an S4, same model, same carrier. He claims he needs a new phone and i beg to differ. I rooted, installed twrp (i9505)and cm12.1 (i9505). works great, however no network connectivity. I remember i need a new modem, try the same one that works with mine....nothing... try a different one.... nothing. calls and SMS, but not data of any speed.
Reverting to kitkat roms results in it working perfectly (multiple modems). both from his original Nandroid and CM 11. All lollipop roms seems to have the same issue, no mobile data. Wifi works fine. No issues with SIM card, switched them between the two phones and confirmed its HIS phone with the issue.
Im a little puzzled, can someone recommend a modem to load? should I try to use TWRP an CM12 for the ATT variant/ different variant? I want to help him but this is making me look amateur (even if its true).
Thanks ahead of time.
