I have Galaxy S4 which has currently ROM showing it GT-I9500 while in download mode I see the model as SPH-L720. I want to know if I'll be able to install I9500 ROM on it? If yes then would it make my phone locked again? since I bought this phone unlocked.

Hi guys
I have question.I'm grom Europe and bought SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 SPH-L720 for my friend witch rom cyanogenmod 11 nightly. I prefer stock rom and i want to know if i install american stock rom S4 SPH-L720 and then can i change this rom to European rom for model samsung galaxy s4 i9505. This model is probably the same as S4 SPH-L720 (they have the same processor). Can i change CSC to my region XEO and then install rom for my country.

Hey Thanks for your revert.
I am using this S4 in India on Android Version 4.2.2 with SIM Unlocked. My main concern is phone should remain SIM unlocked after flashing any Lollipop Modem. But I suspect that, it would get locked after flashing latest modem. I have seen that Galaxy Tool apk has the ability to unlock the phone on Lollipop but it has been posted in the forum for Note 3. So Little bit confused whether it will work or not
So I need your help with detailed explanation how did you do that ?
Can you please provide solution step by step ?

the unlock remain after flash modem for l720 you need update your cellphone to 4.4.2, the rom is in sammobile.com/firmwares/L720, after update put into download mode and flash the custom recovery, now you can install albe95 rom, i search in the forum the modem L720 OD2 but not found, the last modem is the kitkat.

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M from the Canadian service provider, Fido. From what I've read i need a custom ROM that is compatible with for my phone or I might end up bricking my phone. Can I use any SGH-I337 custom ROM or can I use the rogers ROM's one with the same model as mine? I've been reading about cyanogenMOD and Omnirom would i be able to use one of those?
So I Currently have an Xperia z and my girlfriend as A Galaxy S4 I337M , We plan of Switching phones between each others, But First I need some infos before making the Switch. I am Currently on a Rooted phone with Custom rom So I want to make sure that Once I switched to the S4 I will be able to do so I've hearded some S4 are bootloader locked and **** about knox.
So is there anyways to know if the phone will support root/flashing custom roms ?
Thank you
Canadian s4's come with unlocked bootloaders (no need to worry about safestrap). Root and install recovery as you will http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314494

You own a Frankestein. Install this APP and add some screenshots.
@androidfine16: Without seeing your information from Phone Info, I can virtually guarantee that your only means of upgrading will be to install AT&T firmware, which will not lead to a good experience unless you're not planning on rooting the phone. AT&T locks its bootloader, making rooting virtually impossible.
If you just got this device, run, don't walk to where you got it from and return it.
