Sim Unlocked Sph-L720 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hey All,
It's been a while since I've posted in here, but I have some questions I need answered that I have not found completely. I managed to sim unlock my Sprint Sph-L720 running android 5.0.1 and i'm currently using it under Cricket network. Where i'm going is, I want to put a custom rom on it but i'm not sure if it'll undo my unlock. Also, which rom would I use considering when I plug it in to my computer, it reads as a GT-I9505? Would I use SPH-L720 or GT-I9505? I see all over that an re-lock is unlikely, but not impossible. I just haven't seen anything to connect it to my experience (GT). Any help would be excellent and i'd be incredibly grateful.:silly:
Thanks again :good::good:

The unlock is in your modem, don't change your modem or firmware and you won't lose your unlock. As for the other, go by what the sticker under the battery says the model number is.

Yep, make a nandroid backup before flashing anything just in case.

Purchased S4 phone Help

Hi I purchased an At&T phone from ebay. model I337. its is rooted, and appears to have Ktwearker and Supersu. Its on Jellybean 4.2.2. My question is this, The seller said it is build MDL. but when I go to about phone it says MF3. Im not sure if there is a rom installed, looks almost the same as stock but does not have the option to save apps to SD card like the Mf3 version does. How do I tell if this is truly MDL build?
Try boring into custom recovery.

It booted up into custome recover, screen is pink says Philz touch 5
Then it was rooted while on MDL firmware. You are good to go to flash a new rom.

Baseband is JUST which modem you have installed. I have a baseband of MF3 but I have MDB bootloaders. So you cannot go JUST by what the baseband says.

Like mentioned above you know your rooted and on mdl/mdb firmware since you have a custom recovery and not samsungs stock recovery. Welcome to the club and find yourself a rom!!!

There is no direct firmware to flash. You have to Odin the NB1 tar first, then flash the NC1 update. There is more information in Post 5 here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51130818
Keep in mind, I do not have a sim unlocked phone, so I have no idea what effect, if any, Odin back to ATT stock will have on that aspect.

Nice link.
Did you look at the link I sent you? It has a link to the files you need. UCUFNC1 was only a small 20MB update. Probably why it's not showing up on your link.

Build them in yourself, search for them, wait until someone does the mod, or go back to KitKat... I don't know what other answer you expect. To build them in yourself, you'll have to be deodexed.

I don't know what is the wrong with it.
It made me crazy trying to activate my device with no success.
And suddenly after many reboots for my device it dissappeared.
How? I don't know.

Setup Odin on your PC, download the correct tar for your device from www.sammobile.com, flash tar to phone in Download Mode.

How Do You Find Bootloader Version?

How do you check to see what version bootloader you have? I have unlocked my bootloader on my Note 3 and am running OF1/5.0. Ready to install TWRP and new ROM. But, not sure if I have a 4.3 or 4.4 bootloader and can't seem to find a simple answer and how to confirm.

This is what you'll get... In my case.. NC4 bootloader (unlocked) and OF1 based OS (Jasmine ROM)

Thank you for the recommendation. I dig the app, though I still don't know which bootloader I have going by the 4.3/4.4 scale. I'm assuming by now I have the most current one, which ever one that is, because I installed the latest TWRP and am running CM13 with no issues thus far.

The last 3 digits represent the OS/bootloader/firmware versions. In my case, bootloader is NC4 which is 4.4.2, my baseband (modem) is NK1 which is 4.4.4 and the ROM base is OF1 which is 5.0
