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

There are bunch of how to root on the forum or look on YouTube. As for your question I have the same device model and had no problem rooting it. Or in other words it will work fine if you follow the instructions

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?

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.
help with rooting and flashing
hello all. i know this has probably been covered in other forums but i have been having trouble finding a strait answer. i want to root and flash cyanogenmod to my phone. i have a ATT s4 sgh i337 on 5.0.1. i have flashed and rooted other phones so i am comfortable with it for the most part. i was thinking of rooting using the kingroot method but am not sure if i can then flash cyanogen. im not set on using cyanogen so if there are other better or equal roms let me know to.
thank you all for your tie and sorry for bring this up yet again
Hey hey I 'm new to this community. s4 have a i337 at & t but maybe you wanted to change your system or install a rom s6 possess something like android 4.4.2 could help me before hand
I believe the AT&T s4 has a locked bootloader which limits the custom ROMs that can be installed on the phone. Have a look in the development forum to see what is compatible with your phone.
