I want to send it to Africa which firmware do you recommend.

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.

NO.
Here you can find custom roms for SGH-M919 http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2283
You will brick your phone for sure...be careful
whew, thanks for the response guys! only reason I asked was because I have a t-mobile specific s4 and will be going to new zealand and didn't know if the phone (unlocked) would work properly there or not while using the t-mobile specific roms.
Hi guys
I have question.I'm grom Europe and bought SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 SPH-L720 for my friend witch rom cyanogenmod 11 nightly. I prefer stock rom and i want to know if i install american stock rom S4 SPH-L720 and then can i change this rom to European rom for model samsung galaxy s4 i9505. This model is probably the same as S4 SPH-L720 (they have the same processor). Can i change CSC to my region XEO and then install rom for my country.

Hey Thanks for your revert.
I am using this S4 in India on Android Version 4.2.2 with SIM Unlocked. My main concern is phone should remain SIM unlocked after flashing any Lollipop Modem. But I suspect that, it would get locked after flashing latest modem. I have seen that Galaxy Tool apk has the ability to unlock the phone on Lollipop but it has been posted in the forum for Note 3. So Little bit confused whether it will work or not
So I need your help with detailed explanation how did you do that ?
Can you please provide solution step by step ?

the unlock remain after flash modem for l720 you need update your cellphone to 4.4.2, the rom is in sammobile.com/firmwares/L720, after update put into download mode and flash the custom recovery, now you can install albe95 rom, i search in the forum the modem L720 OD2 but not found, the last modem is the kitkat.

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
Hi guys. Been a long time since I've rooted a phone. To be honest, I think the One-X was the last phone I rooted. Anyways, I'm having some trouble, well confused.
I'd like to root my phone, just root. No other ROMs or anything but cannot seem to find a thread to satisfies my phone.
I have a S5 LTE-A, G906K currently on Android 5.0.1 and running lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 .
But I cannot seem to find anything that matches the lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 or is this not required and I can just flash using ODIN?
If possible, could you post links thanks.
Hello everyone!
I really hope this doesn't break any rules, and doesn't automatically get removed! I just joined this website in hopes of getting some help regarding my girlfriend's phone. She has a Samsung Note 4 (SM-N910A) that was originally AT&T and was recently unlocked (no idea how!). She attempted to setup WiFi calling with no avail, and I assume its because everything on it is still AT&T. I tried to look into how to install the stock T-Mobile items, but I'm COMPLETELY lost. If anyone has some basic info I'd really appreciate it! Not looking to do anything else with the phone aside from that.
Thank you so much in advance!

To do that you need to flash T-mobile based rom and your phone must be rooted.but sadly you have AT&T variant and there is no root method available until now.
My best suggestion will be swap your device with unlocked T-mobile variant.
Hey AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4 who is still in Android Lollipop who can temporary root with KingRoot and who has a Windows PC.
If you have a computer, and if you can root with kingroot Use the batch file on a Windows based computer. And please create the unbrick image
Please, for everyone who has a bricked AT&T Note 4
And link me to the unbrick image
Heres the files,
