Hello
So this is probably a really dumb question but its something i need to know before i do something stupid. So while my gf was in China she bought the American Verizon version of the S5, which had some custom Chinese firmware on it. Now recently i have got the phone now and i updated it and flashed the new 5.0 firmware on it. Now i like it but it is all american with a load of apps and stuff. I am using my three UK sim card and it kinda works but its very buggy when it comes to data and text and calls. So i want to be able to put UK firmware that would work with 3 mobile well. is this possible? the specs of my phone are below (it is also currently rooted)
Thanks
Update
Update: So i installed the Syndicate Lollipop ROM and its pretty much how i want it without any bloatware so i resolved this myself internet seems to be working fine also including texts and calls
Hello everyone,
I'm getting no service on my Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720.
I've tried Slimkat 4.4.2, 5.0.1 and Google Play 5.0.1. I get service at times but it keeps cutting out for no reason. I am on baseband L720VPUFNAE, and PRL version 55020. I'm using an app called Roam Control which keeps the phone on roaming mode but it won't stay connected either. Even when set to force roaming it trys to connect to Sprint service. Perviously it would stay connected to Verizon.
Also on Slimkat 5.0.1 when enabling Roam Control it says "please make sure device is rooted" I know it is, because roam control doesn't give me that error on Slimkat 4.4.2 or Google Play Edition 5.0.1
I started having these issues about a week ago, before that everything was working fine. I was on Google Play Edition for a week, and then I started having these issues and went back to slimkat which worked flawlessly.
So to summarize this, phone will not stay connected to roaming no matter what I do. It wants to go back to Sprint, I've tried calling the ##872283# number or whatever it is. That didn't work, it told me it was unavailable and to try again.
Also, one time my cat knocked my phone off the table and it said no sim card inserted so I rebooted my phone and have been having issues since that day.
Did you check to make sure the SIM card didn't get jarred loose when it fell. If that's not it do you have a backup of your stock Rom you could restore? I have had connection problems before and going back to stock TW Rom restored it.
Hi, thanks for replying
I removed the sim card and put it back in, but that isn't fixing it.
I'm on GPE 5.0.1 latest update. Sometimes Roam Control works, and my phone will stay on roaming network, and sometimes it won't. Whenever I go to switch between Home and Roaming it doesn't want to go back to roaming. I have no idea what's going on.
Hi again,
So this is what i've noticed so far.
Slimkat 4.4.4 = Confirmed working, phone goes in and out of roaming back to Sprint network just fine. All data/mms works perfectly.
Slimkat 4.4.2 = Confirmed working, phone goes in and out of roaming back to Sprint network just fine. All data/mms works perfectly.
GooglePlayEdition 5.0.1 = Phone has intermediate service
Sacs Custom Rom v4 = Phone has no wifi, but the Roam Control works.
Slimkat 5.0.1 (Beta/Alpha) = Phone tells me it isn't rooted.
So the good news is, i've got the phone to be atleast usable now. But I want to know why these other roms are giving me problems, is it the baseband/modem I am using? Which one's am I supposed to be using for these roms?
From what I've read here on xda you have to be on the latest firmware, NG2 to have any success getting lollipop working smoothly. So I would look up how to use Odin to upgrade that. All the rooms that I've flashed recently have mentioned in the op to be sure you're on the latest firmware so it may also help with the other KK rooms.
I'm on Baseband version L720VPUFNAE isn't that the latest one?
No NAE is more than a year old NG2 was released last summer.
Hi,
I went ahead and updated to NG2 baseband using this file http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712458249 and Odin. (I am stating this to help people who might be Googling). It updated my Modem from the NAE one to the NG2 baseband, I am still on Slimkat 4.4.4. I will try flashing Google Play Edition 5.0.1 and see what happens.
Thank you guys for the assistance!
Does everything work the way it should on SK 444? If so make a backup so you have a solid place to revert to if you need it in the future. Also be sure to get a good GPS lock before flashing to a 5.0 Rom.
Yes everything works in Slimkat 4.4.4. The phone goes in and out of roaming without any hiccups. Also what do you mean by make sure you get a good GPS lock?
Furthermore, I have went back to Google Play Edition 5.0.1 and I am still experiencing the issue where my phone does not want to go back to roaming after being on the Sprint network. I will be out of service and the phone will just say "searching for service" even though I have Roam Control set too "Roam Only Mode". In order to get my phone to get service back I have to go into Cellular network settings and select System select and put my phone on Home only and then go back to Automatic to make the phone connect to the roaming network.
This is becoming a real nightmare.
The GPS not working was a common problem with GPS 5.x and having a good lock on your position in a stick TW Rom before flashing to GPE is supposed to fix it. So my comment was merely a preventive one. I have no idea for you on the roaming problem in GPE.

Have you tried updating the profile and prl while in SK 444? Then flash into GPE, that's one thing I would try if you haven't done so.

How would I go about updating the profile and PRL while in SK 444? It's based off of Cyanogenmod kernal, as is GPE.

You must be on a stock touchwiz rom in order to update your data profile or prl.

My bad, I meant have you tried updating the prl and profile while in a stock TW rom? My apology for the confusion.
Here's another thought, perhaps try one of the other non GPE 5.x Roms to see if your troubles are limited to the one GPE Rom or if it's a lollipop issue. That may be useful info for those smarter than I to help you work this out.

I may be having a related issue. I didn't want to make a separate thread in case this is the case.
My data was just fine about a week ago. Then I decided I'd try out a new ROM because there's a couple things that annoy me with CM12 at the moment, so I tried the GPE ROM. It was all great except I wasn't getting service when I'm at work.
The problem is that this is now the case with EVERY ROM I flash. I also tried nandroid restoring what I had before flashing GPE. I even went back to stock, did the whole PRL and Profile thing, but I still have no service.
What's also a problem is that I have service (LTE) at home, so whenever I get home to try a new thing that will hopefully fix the issue, I can't find out til I go back to work or leave home or whatever. So far, every day has been unsuccessful.
Edit: A weird thing is that even where I have LTE, if I go to view my network status, it shows "Out of service" under Service State, and Mobile Network State as disconnected. Actually just noticed this, but my phone number is 0.
Alright, so further testing has commenced.
I went over to a Touchwiz rom, updated my PRL, activated the phone, and did all of that. Went back to SlimKat 4.4.4 and thought my phone was on "Roam Only". Well turns out I was wrong, the phone is set to Roam Only and I am still trying to connect to Sprint towers while at home (Where I have no Sprint service) so something definately up. Maybe I need to re-root my phone as I am having some weird issues when it comes to root. Can someone perhaps link me to a thread to get started on rooting the device? I don't remember how I did it last year when I bought the phone. But I am comfortable with using Odin and SamsungKey drivers.
I have a rooted and unlocked Sprint galaxy S4 SPL-L720 on T-Mobile with current touchWiz Build # KOT49HL720VPUFNG2 Baseband L720VPUAMDC. Can anyone recommend a custom rom? I can't get the Data to work right doesn't even show 2G so data is real slow. MMS doesn't work at all no matter what T-Mobile APN I use.
WiFi and phone is only thing good. I rooted and unlocked running current firmware I got from a contributor. 1 1/2 years ago. Hope I can get some help here. Thanks
Help with updating PRL on Sprint Galaxy S4. Have twrp and cyanogenmod . Trying to activate my backup phone to use on sprint. my phone is not connecting due to needing to update the PRL. How do you do this when you are running cyanogenmod? Please help.
I'm contemplating purchasing a new phone. I found a refurbished S4 for $75 and want to buy it, but I need at least 4.4.4 so I can play Pokemon GO. Does anyone know if it can get to 4.4.4 or higher? Also, if so, does it require rooting?
I also read that it's up to the cell phone carriers to allow a higher firmware, so if it's a case of the carrier, does Net10 allow you to get to 4.4.4 or higher?
Which variant of the S4 is it? if it's the international, samsung has 5.1.1 released so you won't have to root it.
you can always root it if the carrier hasn't updated it. which I doubt

It's not your carrier that matters, it's the carrier which the phone was purchased from that matters.
I actually purchased the S5, T-Mobile is the original carrier, and they have Marshmallow available, however, for whatever reason, I can't get it downloaded. I'm using Net10 as the wireless provider, but when I search for updates via wifi or 4G, it says there are none available (I'm currently on 4.4.2). Any clue what to do? On the phone with T-Mobile now but god knows if they're competent enough to help me.

These are the S4 forums, mate.
You started the thread mentioning something about an S4, which now turned into an S5 somehow.
And you can always download the firmware and flash it manually. Or update with Kies.

Enter download mode and read off the model number of the S5. If it says anything other than SM-G900T, then that is why you are having issues with the download. Keep in mind that there are Straight Talk and Net10 versions of the S5 available. Both are on 4.4.2 and no upgrades are available other than by installing a custom ROM.
Sorry, I didn't know this was strictly S4. I'm a bit unobservant. But for those who may randomly be brought to this page via Google. I did the update via Samsung Switch for the PC. Google it, should be the first link. Apologies to all for the mixup.
