SGH I337M - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning guys, I have just bought a second-handed Samsung Galaxy S4 Today, and as I always do, I wanted to see the development for it, the problem is the model, there is almost nothing here about it (SHG I337M). I have never owned a Samsung smartphone so I ask someone here for help about it. You could tell me about KNOX, root, Custom ROMS, and stuff like that.:highfive:
Thanks for your attention, have a nice day!:good:

You can lock the phone down using KNOX. Or you can limit what apps one can access if the phone is in KNOX mode. So basically it is just some security stuff from Samsung. KNOX also has some warranty usage, but since the phone is second hand it's pointless.
So you can throw KNOX out the window.
The SGH-I337 is the AT&T version of the GT-I9505 model. So it's just a rebranded phone.
Unfortunately, AT&T like to lock the phone's bootloaders, making rooting and flashing custom recoveries a lot harder.
Not all hope is lost, though. You can still root and/or flash a custom recovery and rom, but it all depends on your firmware version.
You should definitely check your firmware version and then see if there are any ways to root it and flash a custom recovery. Then we talk custom roms.

If the phone is indeed an i337m (the att version does not have the "m" at the end), you are lucky because the bootloader is not locked and you are free to install twrp and customs ROMs based on cm, aosp, and tw.
You might want to check out the att forums for the s4 for ROMs too.

Thanks for your fast reply! As I saw down here, my phone can't be the at&t version because of the "m" and because it comes from the mexican carrier TELCEL. Respect to the firmware to be able to proceed with the root, recovery and that stuff... My S4's firmware could be here (I'm not sure about which of these data is)

So, I have to be inside the at&t forum although mine isn't the at&t version?
Thanks for your quick reply by the way:good:

The firmware doesn't matter anymore if it is an I337M.
The I337M is a Canadian model.
Now you can root your phone and install a custom recovery
Or
Install a custom recovery first and then flash a custom rom.

I suggest not trying a rom for the s4 with a exynos processor. I have read stories about owners of the Samsung s3 that hard bricked their phone by flashing a non-Qualcomm rom.

Hola, creo que eres de México. La mayor parte del desarrollo está aquí, casi todas las roms que son para el GT-i9505 también son compatibles para SGH-i337M ya que son muy parecidos en hardware. En estos foros está TWRP y si te gusta CM hay dos roms muy buenas Optimized CM 13 y Synergy's ROM.

Mine has Qualcomm's processor, does the GT-i9505 too? So I could install a ROM for that model on my SGH i337m?

I already told you that the I337M is a rebranded I9505.

The i9505 has a Qualcomm so it should be okay.

Sí, también. Si vas a hacer el root en la ROM stock, hazlo desde odin con este paquete https://download.chainfire.eu/811/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jfltecan-jflteub-sghi337m.zip sino primero tendrías que instalar twrp para una ROM personalizada. Tiene el procesador de qualcomm justo como el i9505, así que no te preocupes
Yes, me too. If you want root on the stock ROM you need to flash this package through Odin, if not, you will need twrp for a custom ROM. It has the Qualcomm chip so don't worry

[Q] How to install factory rom?

Well... if i destroy my S4 for any reason, i would like to have the original rom... the only think i remember about that rom is the name... i9500UBUAMDK, seeing the sammobile website, already exist about 6 roms called I9500UBUAMDK (all LATAM)... In Chile does not sell i9500 model, i buy it at www.mercadolibre.cl
How can i know what rom use in my phone?
THANKS!!
If you are asking about the version that is on your (new) phone. Go to settings / more / about device
You will also see your model number. Just filter your model number and you can download the appropriate official firmware.

FM Radio on Rogers D803 LG G2??

Hello my fellow forum members. I just received my rogers Lg G2 and im enjoying it very much. I can say without a doubt this is the best smartphone ever. One of my main reasons for going with the D803 Rogers version over ATT was because of FM Radio, but now for the life of me cant find the FM Radio app on my phone! I have checked with Google and the D803 is supposed to have FM Radio.... any help? thanks!
HELP ME¡¡
I have the same problem ... Your solved anything?
---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------
Por el nombre creo que hablas español...yo compre hace una semana la misma versión que tienes de telefno, y me pasa lo mismo,no veo la radio...tu has podido resolver algo?? te agradezco si me puedes ayudar..
Muchas gracias
fm radio
you try to install by regular way if not use a root explorer move to system/ apps.
this will only work on lg stock will not work on custom roms.
I have a Bell D803, stock and rooted. I would love to have FM radio on this puppy, and I believe Rogers and Bell D803 are identical hardware-wise.
The apk did not install by itself. I tried moving the file to /system/app, because /system/apps didn't actually have any apk's in it. Is there anything else I could do?

You need to be rooted then and use a root explorer to install it.

AFAIK, won't work. FM antenna pin likely disconnected.
But I don't know if anyone's tried my apps lately, now that I support FM capable International and Spring LS980.

[Q] Galaxy S5 Model SCL23 (Japan)

So, Just moved to Japan, bought myself a Galaxy S5 which was just released here 2 weeks ago. The model number is SCL23. Been looking to root it, but i don't see any threads/posts or any info at all about this model number. It is stated in other posts that the "international/asia" model is SM-G900I, but I have looked all over my phone, and the only model number found is SCL23. So, will any of the other root options work for my phone? And if not, is there anything hope for me in the future? The cell phone carrier I use is AU, and i am on firmware 4.4.2.
So is this just an attempt to trick customers? Is this model number correct? Anyone with any information at all please let me know.
If i attempt a root with the wrong model files, will it brick my phone?

I just saw your question and found this it may help you both https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UgX4Q8_VYM
I believe this version of the Galaxy S5 is a specific Japanese model with the charging dock feature, and thus development is quite scarce. Be careful modifying it as you have a higher chance of bricking.

Oi vou escrever em português depois você traduz no Google.
Eu consegui fazer root pelo (towelroot) mas apenas com esta rom (SCL23KDU1BNE4) se tentar com uma rom mais recente não vai dar certo,. caso você já tenha em seu aparelho a mais recente, instale esta. Vale lembrar que se tiver que instalar a rom suas configurações voltará de fábrica. O processo è fácil,
1-você vai fazer download do apk normalmente e instalar
2-depois vai abrir e clicar em makeitra1n
3- vai aguardar até que apareça a mensagem em baixo e logo depois reinicie seu aparelho manualmente pois ele não vai fazer isso automaticamente e pronto

I was also trying to root my AU GS5 SCL23. Apparently, the AU model of GS5 is not rootable. Also the AU GS5 is most likely going to stay that way... . Just found something that might help you. Its in Japanese though.
Type "au galaxy s5 rooting" on google and click the first link on top "【root】towelrootを使った端末のroot化について…2014/9/2更新" If your in Japan the same link would show up.
dont know why they dont allow you to post urls

Logic card S5 SM-G900P

Good evening, I recently damaged the logic card of my S5 model G900P, I am in the process of replacing it, however I have a great doubt ..
At the time of replacement I must purchase a card of the same model (g900p) or could install another logical card of another model for example (g900a or g900h)
Thank you.

There's a handful of Motherboards that are able to fit within a G900P but, the G900V is the only other device that's also CDMA.
I personally don't recommend using another carriers Motherboard unless you're absolutely sure that the other one has what you can use as well.
Good Luck!
