I bought a t537a thinking I would use the lte but after 6 months haven't used it. So I was wonder is it possible to run t530nu lollipop on a t537a? All I can think of is that it would disable my sim tray but I really want to know what everyone thinks. I really don't want to brick my tab.

OK thanks for the answer. Is there a cyanogenmod for the t537a or am I just stuck with stock?

Unfortunately you're stuck with stock because if I understand correctly, you have a locked bootloader. It might be possible to root, I can't tell you for sure, but that would be it

Hi,
Your phone is unlocked.
However, there is no way to get back to "Official" ,if you root it.
The choice is yours.

Hi,
I think you mean "Sim-locked"
The phone itself is not locked,just the sim card.

Hi,
You do not need to sim-unlock your phone.
Flash any i9500 ROM.

Hi,
Look HERE
I cannot say what you would like.
if i install a rom on my i9500 which is an international variant and sim locked to a carrier will i be able to use it as a phone or will i not be able to use my sim card?
Hey guys, so I recently failed flashing a rom onto my phone, and now it won't turn on at all. I'm pretty sure the battery still has something left in it, and I've been trying to turn it on to the odin download mode, but the phone isn't giving a response nor is my computer recognizing it. Is there any fix?
What did you try to flash? Pretty sure you hard bricked it.

Live and learn. Always check what you're flashing and only flash what is for your specific device. All s4's aren't the same.

Yup. Just questioning now, I looked at the website and they offer to allow me to chose a rom for them to install. Can they install CM11 or CM10 even if I have the MK2 S4, which only allows TW roms to be flashed?

If you're on mk2, no. I don't think they can, but can they flash mdl on your phone? That would be cool.
is it possible? because i cant seem to find anything online..
im currently on 4.2.2 should i stick to it?
and if I will root can i reverse back to pure stock so it will say UNROOTED in download mode?

Back up EFS before flashing 4.4.2 - it puts 2 files on the SD Card. Or use TWRP to back up EFS whilst on JB.

I just tested a bunch of T560NU on my T560. It won't work at all. As long as you have a TWRP backup of your system it's easy to test. It's really unfortunate to be stuck in KitKat hell...
thanks for the info
I have a SM-S975L jflteud tracfone. Can it be rooted or have a custom recovery flashed? I can't seem to find anything related to this jflteud model.
