I've tried to figure this out on my own on/off for a year with no luck. This is the first cell in years that I lost desire to screw around with ROM's but I'm getting that itch again.....with that said, I can't figure out which forum I need to go to so any help would be appreciated???
According to my cell info and the 'Genuine Galaxy' app, my S4 is a SCH-I545. I've done several searches and just can't find the right answer, anyone???
You have a Verizon S4. So naturally, you want the Verizon S4 forums.
Doh!
I'm such a boob, didn't realize there was a completely different forum for Vz....thanks man!

Specifically pertaining to the S4, but probably the galaxy series in general as well. I'm coming from my first android phone being a motorola atrix, so the steps and software is slightly different. Just picked up the 32gb ATT S4 last night and want to make sure I grab the right tools and understand how they work. Just looking for the right direction to look for a good Samsung flashing/rooting/modding/Odin 101 thread or explanation, the dev thread can get pretty overwhelming on information at times if you don't already have a decent understanding.
Thanks

Hi,
Check THIS
Only glanced over it quickly since I am at work, but that looks like exactly what I was hoping for, thank you.
It was very difficult to find a concrete 'yes' or 'no' answer on the various threads here (a lot of discussion of bands and such which may be insanely intimidating to a new user / member). So, from what I've discovered from use and forums, and please correct me if I'm wrong, is that if you are use the 4G LTE network in America you will not be able to connect and use the enhanced speeds on the G900F model. Instead, you'll be stuck with 3G (if you're lucky) and 2G speeds.
Like I said, if anyone knows otherwise and if so can correct me in a very direct (and respectful) way so as to not intimidate new users (like my self) please do so. Especially since I'll be selling my G900F shortly. I truly do thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster that I kept my G900A version just in-case I found any problems with the international version.

Thank you gee2012 for feeling the need to be insulting instead of adding anything productive. Because I am a new user to the Android OS, mentioned that I scanned through the forums here and did not find a clear and concise answer to my very direct question, and found conflicting information through google searches as well as threads here I thought I could possibly help out other new users who may have the same question and feel a bit daunted by the sheer wealth of technical information here. I thought helping each other out, especially those brand new to the OS, was the XDA way. Not responding with a purely negative message to someone trying to be helpful.

I`am not insulting or dissing anyone mate but you only had to compare for instance the G900F supported LTE bands with the used ATT bands on Google and you`re question would have been answered.

No disrespect meant and I apologize for not being specific in my response to you. When I say conflicting information it was based on a google search for what I felt was a basic question, "Does the S5 G900F support the ATT 4G LTE network?" That query led to websites with conflicting information (a few said it did, a few said it didn't, and a few more said 'maybe'). When I came across more information via these forums and more google searching there was no clear and distinct answer that was readily found. What was found, like you referred to, was information on base bands. Because I was new not only to the Android OS but the complexities of phones outside of the walled garden that is iOS I investigated what a base band was. From here I continued my search into the ATT bands and compared them to the S5 G900F model to see if they were compatible. Once figuring out that they were not I had answered my own question. After realizing that there are others out there who either don't have the knowledge, access to, or time I thought I'd share my 'discovery' (and yes, I realize it was not really one) with others.
So yes, you were insulting when you said I "'layed [laid] back to wait for others to answer your question" as I didn't. You assumed from my simple and brief post that I had not taken the time to do any actual searching and was lazily waiting for someone to answer my question. It was an incorrect inference which led to a seemingly sarcastic response (and associated ) which while it won't dissuade me from posting or asking questions does not, IMO, represent the helpful community aspect of XDA.
With that said I see you are a Recognized Contributor, so thank you for the information you've contributed to others throughout XDA.
I am noting more than you are. Just trying to help others by reading and trying to figure out how things work.

hello all, this is my first time here, although i am not a noobie to flashing phones, i need help finding information to get my phone flashed back to USCC using DFS cdma tool. It's easier just to start from the beginning. i bought a uscc s4 off ebay, and paid to have it flashed to page plus, it worked well for a while and then just died service wise after a couple months and page plus offered me nothing but problems so i cancelled my service with them and need to get back to uscc so i can just have everything back to normal. right now i am on the stock rom, version 4.4.2 ... to be honest, all i really am posting for is the information i need to use in DFS, i didint screenshot anything during the remote flash and i do not have any of the information i need in order to write to the phone and have it connect to uscc towers again. im not certain if im just stupid, and its something so obvious that noone posts about it anywhere, or if its something so complicated that noone has the information. either way, i really need my phone back, and even if this is so stupid to read that youre shaking your head please at least just respond and tell me about my stupidity and just give the answer, this is driving me nuts, i already put the original esn back however i dont know any of the other info for uscc. please help and thank you all for taking the time to help.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

Where in the list of forums do you see development for the
US CELLULAR S4 SCH-R970 ?
I would love to be directed to the same forum
I know this is probably already posted somewhere, but I'm new and I have tried to find something answering this question, but I feel like a blind man trying to read a map. I just bought a T-Mobile S7 Edge off of a friend, because the touchscreen stopped working on my S6. I have been using a back up old flip phone for the past week, and when i tried to add the T-Mobile S7 Edge to my account, it cant find the phone via the IMEI. The phone is permanantly unlocked. I know that T-Mobile uses GSN, and Verizon CDMA, but from the things that I have found, it is possible to get it switched over. I just haven't figured out exactly how to do it though. The few things that I find don't really tell me exactly what I need to do. I currently have the SM-G395U build on the phone. Can someone please tell me what I need to do in order to switch m phone over? Or at least point me in the right direction please? The flippity-flip is making me want to shoot myself. You would be helping me out so much you have NO IDEA! PLEASE HELP!! Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong section, but I felt this would be a good place to start.
Thanks in advance.
