Canadain t999v ROOT Confirmed

I can confirm that the sgh-T999v is most likely identical to the TMO variant T999.
The rooting method here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726725
is 100% working on my Wind/Mobilicity device.
That's all.
EDIT: Wow, I actually mis-spelled 'Canadian' in the tittle. How proud I make us all.

Good to hear, thanks for the confirmation! Hopefully SGH-T999 ROMS are compatible with the SGH-T999V and that development picks up

does that mean, though, that i can use Tmo roms on my wind phone? no one seems to be able to answer this for me for sure...
what about kernels? does it matter who's kernel i use? this stuff so confuses the hell out fo me and searching for answers just confuses me more because no one seems to be posting about this... everyone seems to be so far past talking about simple crap like this...
thanks for any help you can offer me, anyone

AT&T & T-Mobile models the same?

AFAIK, the only thing different in the radios is the lack of HSPA+ support in AWS on the AT&T model.
Does this mean the AT&T model can be flashed with the T-Mobile modem and have use of all the bands? After all, the AWS antenna is there for LTE. Similar situation with the iPhone 5 (except AFAIK, Apple is not going back to enable HSPA on AWS for the older AT&T models).
Food for thought.

There are several threads for this already.

You could have at least said yes or no instead of using more words and being a **** about it. Some of us would like that information in passing instead of having to hunt around. I'm not that curious, but you're still a ****.

Haha. True I would like to know too but not that curious to go out my way to find out.

Lazy and feeling that you are above the forum rules?
I let the OP know that the issue has already been discussed so he /she could use the search function to find the information they requested. There is way more information in those threads that already exist than I could ever put here. How is that being a ****?
If you are not interested in "hunting around" for answers and just want them handed to you on a platter, I suggest you sell your phone immediately. Good day.

we all are in trouble if this continues. you will find as soon as we are able to get busy later..that these type posts will go untouched. then you will have no choice but to hit the search button.

If they were discussed in a thread that isn't directly related, then it'd be harder to find.

As far as flashing an AT&T ROM with a T-Mobile radio or flashing a T-Mobile ROM with an AT&T radio, no one yet knows because the AT&T bootloader is still locked. It has been possible to do so on other models of Galaxy phones, but the Devs need to take a look at it to make sure the rils and other settings match up.

Thanks. The idea is to buy the AT&T exclusive 64GB SGS4, get all bands working (using T-Mobile radio), and flash the Google Dev Edition ROM for a clean Android experience.
That would be my ideal phone, really.

Will this VERSION work (SHV-E330L)

Hi there,
my friend is coming from Korea soon, and I have a chance to get him to buy me an "UNLOCKED Samsung Galaxy S4 SHV-E330L" which is the Korean version with LTE-A and a better processor (snapdragon 800)
I have a few questions:
#1) Will this version work fine in Canada without problems? I understand we don't have LTE-A but it will just revert to 4G, right?
#2) I don't see a lot of support for that version. If I got it, will I still be able to customize it, flash the rom, and use files from this website?
what should I do? should I better off stick with a local version?
I just think the Korean version has a better processor, and I can get it for a good price + it comes with an extra battery...
advice!?!?!?!?!?!?
or I might just wait to hear what the Nexus 5 will be, it could be a galaxy killer

there is a Q&A section. cheers

If you take the time to reply, why reply with a pointless comment? my specific question is not covered in the Q&A
way to increase your post count though!
cheers!

He means you should be asking in the Q&A section since you have a question.
If it has a radio compatible with whatever frequencies your carrier uses, then it should work service wise. Check the Wikipedia article about the S4 and compare. As far as ROM's, since it technically has different hardware I'd say there's pretty good doubt it would work with these ROM's and certainly no guarantee that root and recovery made for others will work on your model.

2) As i have tried my best to look for the support from XDA but there is no luck, so i try another develop web and it works for me, again take time if you dont know chinese, All the rest, the device is extremely working fine. . Looking for Someone to sale it to go with the note3 LOL

VERY informative! I had the same question.
As far as I know, there is no way to get GSM working.

this specific G900 has been the topic of quandary quite a bit today. I havent been able to find a solution for this one yet, but its likely a radio firmware limitation. Im pretty sure that it has the physical capability to run on GSM, but nobody has figured out how to get it working yet. This model isnt a good choice for GSM as of yet. We need a developer who is quite a bit smarter than I to figure the radio firmware hurdles

Unlocked with GSM + LTE!

Hi everyone, I use an unlocked Sprint Note 4 with Cricket/at&t. I understood that by unlocking that I would only ever achieve HSPA+ speeds because Sprint locks the LTE band's available. I accepted that, as it didn't bother me and I mainly use Wifi, but that didn't stop me from trying.
All my attempts never seemed to make a difference, until the other week, I finally realized that LTE must not be available at my home. Because while I was driving I noticed I had a LTE signal, which was a complete shock to me. So I did some testing and I only received HSPA at home with all my phones.
Conclusion:
So that means one of the steps I did must have activated LTE. I do have to force it to connect sometimes with phone info shortcut. Or at&t is broadcasting on one of sprints bands in that area.
If anyone is interested in this, I do believe I know the exact steps to replicate this. If this shows interest, I will turn this post into a guide. This would be my first guide, so bear with me.
Edit: After further testing, I'm concluding that I'm only getting Lte in certain area, so it must be that at&t is using one of the Sprint bands there. If something changes, I'll update!
Edit 12/11/16 - only getting lte at certain place. It's band 2. Added pic below.
Pics below show Lte. You can see from crickets website that 4g is only 4mbps and Lte is 8mbps.

I would be more than interested in knowing how you unlocked the LTE Bands because (you must be aware through my previous posts) I too use unlocked N910P with a GSM SIM but all I get is H+.
I did try to unlock the LTE bands using a thread on XDA but it did not work as the tool wasn't even able to recognize the phone.
Hence, a step-by-step guide would be appreciated regarding the same.

I'm not sure if I unlocked them or not.
This just all became aware to me that i have lte. So I'm still testing. It seems like I'm only getting lte in one certain area. I don't know if maybe at&t is using a sprint band in that area. And that's what is making it possible.
I also don't know if anyone one thing i did made this possible. I will edit my post with all my changes. And you can test to see if it changes anything for you. Give me a bit.

I'm also on a domestic unlocked 910p with cricket, and have noticed LTE popping up from time to time. It's not consistent though. I just assumed it was because I hadn't changed my network mode to GSM/UTMS. I was driving at the time so I couldn't check to see if it was actually working.

I've been testing cm 14. So I just now went back to custom stock. When I go back to work today in gonna do more testing. But after seeing your experience and my assumption, I'm thinking that I don't have any more lte bands. But just that att is using one of the bands this phone has.
I'll keep you all posted.

Im also interested, I'm using AT&T towers as well through straight talk... but ive only ever been able to get 3g. But more so than not lately, unfortunately, ive been getting stuck with GSM service, not even 3g.. So if you figure something out that'd b great , otherwise any tips to improve my speed capabilities would b much appreciated. . And just 2-3 miles away is an AT&T tower so i should be capable of much more.

I just updated my post.
I'm concluding I'm only getting Lte in certain area. So at&t must be using Sprint band there, or something like that. But no other bands are unlocked.

Really, I don't know how I get it in area I get it. But it's funny you commented. Because I was just getting on here to update.
I'm at my sister's where I get Lte. So I installed an app to find more info.
Here's the pic. I'm on band 2 here in western pa. Don't know how yet. Don't travel to much to compare. But this is only place I get Lte. So I'm still trying to figure out what and how I did.
Any how here's the pics
The pic shows 910t because that's the build id i use in my build.prop.

Just 1 quick off topic question.
Which custom stock Rom is stable and capable of daily driving for the Sprint Note 4?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm just gonna list some of the newer ones that are still being developed. But there are also more stable builds out there but they're no longer being improved upon. = final build. (Ex. Any of @tx_dbs_tx older roms are very stable= MOAR rom, Note 5 rom, Mr Wonderful)
Back to current ones,
If you want a very customizable rom then Dtux Rom here is great. I use it myself when I'm not testing another. Plus Dev is getting ready to put out v7 very soon.
Then there's new CM14 here. Still getting all the bugs out but is very stable enough for daily driver. If you want Nouget then it's only option right now. Or if you want a minimal aosp rom, then it's the way to go.
Then a lot of people like trying the Note 7 ports, specifically one of these here. But it requires some work to get service working. Personally I'd wait til @tx_dbs_tx releases his Note 7 port. Won't be long, i hope. But it'll be tailored for our device.
There you go, that's my personal opinion through experience. It just depends on what you looking for. But all of them are stable. Good luck!
Edit. I just re-read your question. If your looking for a stockish rom. I'd suggest Mr Wonderful here! http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-t3396498
Read next post!
Or you can try Dtux but just don't install the modset, if you don't want all the custom stuff.

Thank you very much for your efforts.

Sprint Note 7 port is very close to a public beta release! Keep looking in the Sprint N4 development forum ETA should be before Xmas. Expect only minor bugs such as fingerprint scanner and always on display. otherwise completely functioning and pure Sprint N7 rom. I will move on to the next available Samsung Nougat rom if I have the time and patience and if I haven't upgraded my phone by then. Otherwise this N7 port will be my last rom for the Sprint N4. I like to go out with a big BANG!
