Ok. so after being with AT&T since 1998, I went to T-mobile and activated an account today. Last night I also did the mod enabling all the T-mobile AWS, HSPA & LTE bands on my AT&T Galaxy S4 and it was a success. Everything works great, I already have the T-Mobile Sim card installed, and T-Mobile LTE and HSPA is very fast.
I've been flashing ROMS, Kernels and radios for several years on many many different phones and tablets, However this is the first phone I've delt with, with a locked bootloader and also the first time wanting to use a different carriers ROM. The phone is already rooted, with TWRP recovery and I'm running CM 10.2.
Should I flash a T-mobile radio and ROM now that I plan on sticking with T-mobile. If I do, can I flash any T-Mobile based rom, and TWRP will automatically Loki Doki it or whatever it does lol? I don't usually have these questions, but this locked bootloader crap really sucks. The phone is only a month old, so I don't really want to buy a T-Mobile version when I got all of T-Mobile's bands working.

You need to flash the rom, then your loki doki kernel, I do not recommend flashing a different radio, that could brick the device, although, it has been done, and I think our MDL and MF3 modems are sufficient enough to get the correct speeds for your device.

Thanks for the reply, my last question is, how do I Loki Doki the Kernel. The MDOB ROM i was using, and also CM10 did the self locking thing, Is LOKI something I flash after flashing the ROM.

Go to my guide here, at the bottom of post #1 is a patch called loki-doki.zip, that would be what you flash after every rom, I do that everytime I flash roms.

Hey guys,
I unlocked my galaxy s4 from AT&T and now I use T-Mobile. I was wondering if I could use the t-mobile rom since I would like to use the tethering and wifi calls from it.
I don't really want any custom rom, just because I'm fine with the carrier ones.. so I searched somethings and I figured out that I could use the t-mobile rom with loki doki.
Can I just instal the stock firmare of t-mobile? (It would be the M919UVUEMK2)
By the way, right now I'm running the MF3 and idk why I don't receive the OTA update (never received, I suspect that's because I unlocked it)
I found some other posts but unfortunately it doesn't contain enough information.

I have an ATT S4 I337 and am trying to install T-mobile ROM because i am using a t-mobile sim and want to use wifi calling. Is it possible and how?
Here is what i have tried:
1. Installed safestrap 3.72 and rooted my i337
2. Installed a Tmobile NB4 rom (Fenny Rom) through safestrap and/or loki doki kernel
3. Installed deadly venom magic tool files through ODIN
Upon reboot, the animation screen shows up with T-Mobile 4G LTE logo but phone stays stuck on this screen.
I also tried Insane ROM and this time i get the animation screen with smoke going over but never moves forward.
Is it at all possible to utilize a t-mobile ROM on this phone or not....help would be apreciated.
Sorry mate
I'm not sure if you can- if you're on NB1, you can only install ROMs with the stock AT&T TouchWiz kernel, AKA Safestrap ROMs. I don't think T-Mobile ROMs use the AT&T kernel, lol. Maybe you could try hacking together a T-Mobile ROM with an AT&T stock kernel and see if that works. Sorry man, but I don't think it's going to happen. However, if you do hack a ROM together, I'll be more than happy to test it out, as I'm on an AT&T Galaxy S4, but I'm using it on the T-Mobile network. (SIM Unlocked using my own method without dialer codes or an AT&T SIM).
Best of luck! :good::good::good:

I'm new to rooting ATT phones, my wife just go a free ATT S4 I337UCUFNC1 from a friend and I want to root, convert it from ATT to T-Mobile phone then unlocking it.
The phone doesn’t have a sim yet but I'm planning on putting my wife's present T-mobile sim in there.
I'm very familiar with the T-mobile Samsung S4 version.
I've read that I need a safestrap after root?
Can I update to 4.4.4?
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Follow this to root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56453100. To run on tmobile you'll have to sim unlock it. Try regionally away

To Sim unlock, flash the MF3 modem in safestrap recovery and then run regionlockaway app.
Thanks alot, I was able to boot in Safestrap Recovery but after I rebooted from that and then tried to reboot back into Recovery Safestrap FC'ed. I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it but is FC'ed again, dunno what's it going on.
How do I get back into Recovery if Safestrap is FC'ing? (I'm trying to flash the MF3 modem)
NVM, Got back into recover, flashed the modem now and used Region SimLock, I took my T-Mobile sim and put it in the AT&T phone and it works.
Now I will try to convert it from AT&T to a T-Mobile Phone using : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/convert-i337-to-m919-wifi-caling-t2896719
Quick Question
If I use this method to convert from a AT&T to T-Mobile will I loose the Unlock Sim?
Would I be able to use Region SimLock again with the being updated to 4.4.4?
Got everything going... completed!
Thanks!
Got a used S4 with "custom unlocked" boot screen. Is it limited to SafeStrap?
As mentioned in the title, I just got a used S4. It has AT&T software loaded on it (NC1). I can load SafeStrap *but* my provider is T-Mobile.
The first screen shown when I turn on the phone has an unlocked padlock icon with the text "custom". Does that mean I can use a recovery other than SafeStrap? I ask because I want to run T-Mobile ROMs (or Cyanogenmod preferably) which aren't always TWRP compatible.
If I am stuck, are the AT&T ROMs going to work well with T-Mobile?
As long as you have AT&T S4, you'll be limited to using Safestrap recovery only. The problem is AT&T's choice of locking the bootloader that prevents you from flashing any other recovery or any non-Samsung ROM. You can't flash a T-Mobile ROM for this reason, either.
Someone successfully got WiFi calling working on AT&T phone, though. If you're interested, check it out.
Almost all AT&T Samsung ROMs work perfectly with T-Mobile service. You can even flash some i9505 ROMs, too. Again, Samsung ROMs only
Is the "unlocked custom" boot screen normal for these phones?
This seems like a pretty interesting phone! Haha, so if I understand you correctly, the phone is the T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy S4 with an AT&T Rom loaded onto it with the Safe Strap Recovery? OR is it the AT&T variant of the S4, with a fancy padlock boot screen and you're a T-Mobile customer?
As @xymic posted, there is a way to get a T-Mobile rom on the phone!
I have two AT&T S4's and both are being used on the T-Mobile network. One is running a Lollipop AT&T rom and it works great with my T-Mobile sim! No problems. Another is running the Kitkat T-Mobile rom and it's working flawlessly as well!
I'm not too sure about the unlocked custom boot screen however. It appeared once for me but it didn't come back after I started flashing different roms.
I don't know what carrier the phone used to have. I assume AT&T because it has an AT&T ROM loaded. If that "unlocked custom" icon is something you've seen then this is probably a very normal carrier phone.

That custom unlocked thing is normal for anyone on here at least. Means there's either root or modified system files, or there were either of those and the status hasn't reset yet.

False. If you're on the AMDL bootloader or older, you can use Loki. The chances of finding a used Loki'd phone are slim and you're are better off with the international version with the correct bands, if buying a used S4. MUCH better access to ROMs.
