regardless which rom you flash and regardless if you're on the AT&T network or Tmobile network.
Do not Odin flash the AT&T stock firmware on a Tmobile phone even if it's unlocked.
If you do you will not be able to make or receive any phone calls.
You can flash AT&T or Tmobile CWM/TWRP flashable stock or custom zip file roms because
those do not contain the radio/modem images like the Odin flash firmware do.
If you odin flash back to stock Tmobile firmware you will loose root unless you re-root after flashing.
As far as bootloaders go, a Tmobile phone requires a Tmobile bootloader, but you don't need to worry
about that if you flash the stock official tmobile firmware with Odin.
All the other tmobile and at&t cwm/twrp flashable zip file roms found in these threads don't contain
any bootloaders that's why they can be flashed on any unlocked and rooted tmobile or at&t phones.[/quote]
so the hardware is different is that why you cant flash att stock firmware with odin on a T-Mobile s4

i was under the impression that the hardware was the same and the firmware / modem /radio firmware controled the radio Frequency

The hardware is NOT the same.
If the hardware was the same for both the AT&T S4 and Tmobile S4 phones then there would only
be one model for both carriers and both carriers would be using the same frequencies of operation.
It's not the software that determines the frequencies of operation, it's in the hardware.
Another thing is that the AT&T has a locked bootloader, the Tmobile bootloader is not locked.
(Whether the bootloader is locked or not it has nothing to do with rooting)
He is correct here...they are not similar. 2 different modems etc.

No you cant. You have stick with att firmware or else your phone will be a brick.
What would be a better phone to get to use on AT&T? An unlocked T-Mobile S4 or an AT&T branded S4?
AT&T ROMS on T-Mobile S4
I've been attempting to install the stock AT&T firmware on my T-Mobile M919. I understand after reading the thread that this is not possible which is why the Odin flash always fails. I am using an AIO (AT&T) sim card. I have been flashing ROMS built for the I337. Most boot loop after install. Those that install successfully cannot activate the WIFI function on the phone. Both Xperia and Darth Stalker work when installed for the AT&T variety of S4. Today I read the Goldeneye installation instructions which state if the AT&T baseband is not flashed on the phone, then WIFI will not work which is the problem I routinely experience. So my question is should I be flashing T-Mobile S4 roms even though I have an AT&T sim? or do I have another issue? The phone is rooted and sim unlocked. Thanks!
I own a i337M S4 is it possible to flash via odin the i337 att firmware? and have the modem and everything still working? So basically I want to take my Canadian S4 and make it usable in the US? I'm going to be moving in a few weeks.
Hi, I have the same question.
I am planning to install Telus rom v 4.2.2 on Fido S4 which is on Android 4.2.2 Baseband i337MVLUAMG1.
I have unlocked (SIM) the phone using unlock code and Rooted using CF auto root.
Have TWRP installed. Have made nandroid back up.
So here are the steps I am going to follow.
1) Download Official Telus Firmware (4.2.2 AMG) from sammobile.
2) Wipe to factory default using TWRP.
3) Flash Telus firmware 4.2.2 using Odin.
4) Root the phone.(CF-Auto Root)
Can someone please tell me if this is OK?
Are there any chances of bricking the device if you install telus rom on fido phone?
Just want to make it sure before I proceed.
As the thread title says I'm in need of the stock firmware for the XT1021 model (US variant, non Cricket). Must be on android version 4.4.4. If anybody could please help me out i would be very appreciative. I am trying to unlock the bootloader on my Cricket moto e, and as all firmware files are signed by motorola it should allow me to flash a different bootloader allowing it to be unlocked (hopefullly). However the one website that DID have the firmware files i was looking for no longer has those files. I spent an hour trying to find the proper firmware but had no luck.
With some modding of the zip such as copying boot image over, etc can an AT&T or Intl S5 rom be run on the VZW S5? I'm using a VZW S5 on AT&T and my only complaint is the dumbass + issue with phone numbers. Which I'll have, I suspect as long as I'm on a VZW based rom....

It should run (don't know how well). You can try the safestrap backup at the bottom of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58621872
Although you are limited to all stock vz 4.4.4 partitions, i.e. bl, kernel, modem, etc. You may have wifi issues since the kernel, modules, and non-hlos all need to match in order for wifi to work. You will have to flash the matching vz modules after installing the backup to fix wifi.

Flashing a T-Mobile ROM is your only option, we can't flash other ODIN packages or else we would have used that to unlock the bootloader.
Hi people,
Can i flash international rom on a Verizon galaxy S5?
If yes, how can it be done?
Thanks!
To install international G900F rom, must be bootloader unlocked:
Same way as flashing a normal kltevzw/G900V rom, find a klte/G900F rom and flash it. Any incompatibility warnings are probably outdated, but be careful, and remember, you can't make too many backups.
Just know that you won't be able to use CDMA networks (Verizon is CDMA).
To enable 4G/Phone service in other countries, works with locked bootloader:
You're stuck with the G900V rom. If you're just looking to get support for extra bands in other countries, look into GalaxyTools by Idoneapps. It can give you international support on most existing roms, stock or not. Kinda hard to use but you'll get used to it.
Both methods will most likely require some APN settings modifications.
If your cat suddenly gets eaten or you need clarification, I'd be glad to help.
(You weren't too clear on your request - I didn't know if you wanted an international rom or international support, so I tried to include both.)
I have G900V model but I do not have verizon services in my country. I wanted to get rid of verizon rom as it's of no use to me. Therefore I was looking for a intrenational varient. I am running MM6.0.1 with rooted and bootloader unlocked. Will flashing a G900F rom again lock the bootloader.
How to proceed withave the process. Please help.
