NO! DONT DO IT!.
i dont know if you can find firmware for (M) variant. but there is for SGH-I337.
No don't do it. Lots of stuff won't work.

Thanks for the quick reply. I thought the i337M was just a provider branded i9505.. guess theres a big diff
Any idea where I could find i337M odin files?
The reason im asking all this is this phone lags a LOT! and Gallery app is almost unusable from the lag. Any ideas? Thanks

First use Motochopper to root so you can use Titanium Backup to freeze the bloat (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248 this one will work).
Then you can install Goomananger so you can install TWRP (menu=>install open recovery): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
Finally, if you're feeling brave, you can do a backup of your phone first then try installing CyanogenMod: http://get.cm/?device=jfltecan
The Canadian model is jfltecan. Remember to install GAPPS (http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip)
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE.

unfortunately there is no firmware for (M) variant on the net. There is AT&T (USA) firmware, but for I337,
any way try to wipe cache via recovery.

Whats strange about it is the fact that right away, it had lag. I will try wiping the cache and will let you know.
I had an error when I tried wiping the cache.
Should I install a custom recovery as suggested earlier?

Someone else tried already. Apparently it will run. but without a Canadian modem to flash, there will be no network signal or wifi working.
When we have a modem to flash we should be OK.

Its SLIGHTLY better after clearing the cache via TWRP, but still lots of lag. Dont get it, from such a fast phone, there shouldnt be ANY lag! My Nexus 4 was SOO much smoother and faster (yet clearly not in benchmarks)
Thanks for the help btw
I have another question, how do I unroot my device. Is this possible? Thanks

I too have an SGH-i337M (TELUS). Did you do the official update to build I337MVLUAMDJ? I had originally bought my phone on the unfinished I337MVLUAMDC and when I did the update a lot of the lag went away. However, I still had to freeze a lot of unwanted apps though settings > app manager, however I did come across a list of apps that were safe to remove/disable on the S3 (Some, not all are also found on the S4). You can see the list HERE.
Hopefully we'll see a list like this for the S4 soon.
[EDIT]
Also to note, I also came from a Nexus 4 and can definitely feel the difference as well, but the Nexus also didn't have bloatware running.

Mine came with the official build I337MVLUAMDJ and it was laggy as hell!
After rooting and removing lots of bloatware, it was still slow.
What cured my lag, was downloading the stock Firmware from Kies (and saving the file from temp folder, instead of using kies for the restore) and flashed it with odin. After restoring my backup from MyBackup Pro, its fast!
Why should we need to do all this work for a brand new phone. Good job Samsumg lol

Oh cool, I guess that works too lol. I managed to fix a majority of my lag after running a recovery script called "PalaTool" which was originally released for the Galaxy S III. The tool was designed to remove bloatware and allowed you to install optional UI changes and apps that could optimize things like Fast Dormancy, etc. Running the tool unfortunately doesn't remove the bloat, but it did with the Seeder Entropy Pool.
After i decided to upgrade to the "official" 4.4.2 it seems like my gyroscope is broken or something, have tried multiple odin restores / Factory resetting with no luck... Anyone else having theese problems? Anyone know a fix ?

Well i have reflashed aprox. 6 or 7 times... still no luck...

Today I got so annoyed at no rotation, I reflashed 4.4.2 via Odin, rebooted to check it was working, It was.
Then I rooted the phone, tested rotation again, still OK, so then I braved CWM and it's fine.. Still working fine now last I checked... thankfully it was a bit annoying playing with youtube earlier.. @jetbruceli has the same issue also

Wich Firmware do you use the 1 filed one or the one with 4 different files?

Well i basically tried reflashing over 15 times and it still wont work.
I tried 2 different ODINS (3.08 and 1.85)
Tried both leaks (the 4 filed one and 1 filed XEO)
Im out of ideas so if anyone PLEASE knows a fix i would be very thankful
EDIT: F everything. Apparently all my sensors are broken.
Anyone who's got this problem, do you have other lockscreen than the default? I had this problem also with sensors / rotation not working after some time, and my fix was to change the lockscreen from pattern to swipe. Please report back if this fixes your problem.

useless doesnt help...
Just flash your rom with a full wipe and all will be fixed.
But if you root it problems will show up again!!

Yeeeeeeeees :good: No one is able to upload these files here........ What the hell, every body tell us to reflash because they are to lazy finding out what the problem is ...
SHealth and Sensorservice are the problem, if one is removed, rotation is away.
I've made a thread and pleased for the Apks and Odexs files but even after 100 views no one can do this -
WHAT THE HELL?

First of all help is always starting from the beginning. If you reflash the problem goes away and all is well. No one knows really why yet it stops rotation.
I removed Knox and it stop the rotation too. Reinstalling didn't help.
So please before saying no is helping just do what we suggest and then figure the rest on your own.
I had the problem with rotatation before anyone I believe and my solution was to reflash from scratch and then only remove add on apps like ever note.
Leave all Sammy apps installed and so far my note is running perfect
Hit thanks if I helped

just like you, non of the solutions worked for me
I got same problems after I deleted some system apps. Turned out there is a library in Samsung Hub that is needed for rotation. Please see more here:

First reboot. If it didn't work try factory reset(don't forget backup). Is the device rooted?

We are solving the issue via rebooting but after a while it re occurs. Device is not rooted and not wiped. We can try wiping but I wonder root cause of the problem

Two things can be done in that case..
■Full data wipe and test if it happens again
If it happens then,
■Revert to stock and then reflash the rom.
Any how you have to data wipe...

Sammobile.com can help you on that. Check for their release date..
But i would recommend if youre on an older version of 4.4.2 on "i9505", reinstall that rom only to keep towelroot rooting method available...
Plus after a full wipe things are different..if youve done that already. Try stock+reflash..

When I turn my phone on it goes into boot loop. I tried accessing TWRP but it's not good either, it would just show the startup screen and nothing will happen. I don't know how this happened because my phone was working perfectly last night before I slept. I didn't charge my phone so when I woke up the battery was drained. So I plugged in my charger and turn it on, it'll just go into boot loop just like what I said earlier. Please help. I have read that I should flash stock through Odin, but where can I find it? Please help. Thanks!

Thanks, I actually know that I have to go to that site to download the firmware, I just needed some confirmation haha! But this here is my real (stupid-ish) question, is it possible to recover/access my data? Will it be lost after flashing?
When my device was bricked a bit times... I flashed the firmware and all my data wasn't lost it just changed the system and did not delete any data... But make sure u only flash the firmware version that was present before u bricked your device....
MOST of the times it doesn't delete any data☺
