Gentlemen,
I currently got myself an AT&T model galaxy s4 and Im looking to run it on Tmobile. My question is what advice do you guys have for a noob like me?
Do I need to unlock the bootloader?
Is there a specific ROM I should use?
How do I get MMS and group text to work?
What's the best method to unlock my GS4?
Thanks!
The best method to unlock your GS4 is to request the code from AT&T if you have an account with them.
To get MMS to work you need to edit the APN settings to t-mobile's configuration. You may need to copy this from a t-mobile phone, ask a friend, or Google it.
The instructions to change the APN are on the T-Mobile website. Just Google it or fish around on their site. I found it somewhere under the bring your own phone options.

I Know this is possible but the question to me is how. I have the SPH-l720 and it is unlocked running cyanogenmod 11 and I want to use Tmobile. When I put the sim in it doesnt not register it and when trying to change the network preferences I have no options. Is there a way i could just take the apn setting from the T-mobile rom or anything that will let me connect to the network. Thank you ahead of time:good:
Hi guys, last night I trade in my S6 for S7.
That guy told me the phone is sim unlocked, I just need to manually adding APN and it will work. I am too stupid not to try with my sim.
I am in Malaysia, S7 variant should be G930F, but it's G930V, I tried two different carriers with manually input APN but the signal icon still blank with a cross:crying:
Besides, whenever I change network mode, it will revert to Global.
I can't select network operator too.
Is there any method to get it works with my local carrier? Flash rom from G930V to G930U or change IMEI will works?
flash "u" rom marshamallow..

Flash the "U" unlocked firmware on it. Looks like the phone is locked to Verizon. I would strongly recommend against changing the IMEI because that can add a lot of unnecessary complications.

Can I flash official nougat rom?
Any additional step or modification needed?
I see there are many firmware for different CSC such as XAA, TMK and etc. Which one is cleanest and works better for GSM network?
Currently on Verizon Offiicial Nougat 7.0 G930VVRU4BQC5
phones out of country with other networks, and att USA since note 2 came out.
I currently have s7 too and it travelled with me out of country as well no problems, I get 4g in most places, if not 3g until I can get to fast WiFi.
Ur carrier data bands must not be matching or phones damaged, in my expert opinion.
Once u put other carriers sim u either request carrier to send u apn via text msg where u just open it and it gives u option to save it.
Or the Sim itself will/should have those settings in it. And upon inserting sim then going to where apns are added, u may be able to select it.
A quick Google of bands of ur network can tell u, but I'm optimistic only a very few bands are missing off g930v/g935v
Edit: Yes Verizon phones work on gsm in global mode
There is another option in there LTE/GSM/UMTS
U will have to experiment between global or the one above mentioned, does the trick for me all the time
I'm moving to Australia soon and need GSM to work when I get there. My RAZR M was unlocked when I got it (mobile network settings were set to global) and I was wondering is GSM worked by default or if I had to change anything before hand. Any reply would be greatly appreciated. The only thing I've seen is an APN xml file for 4.0-4.4 but I doubt it will work since I am out of that range (6.0) and there are no APN settings even present in the Lineage settings menus. I need it to work with Telstra.

Nothing? really?
Hello,
I've gotten my phone's bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed and have been flashing the available custom ROMs with no success to getting my mobile data to work. I don't have this problem running the stock ROM or MIUI.eu (which I'm currently using). I prefer to run the Lineage based ROMs if possible, but I cannot get the mobile data to work on any of them.
I've got into the APN settings on the phone to see what's up there, but I can't change any of the settings, they're all greyed out. I can change the APN settings on MIUI but it works fine anyway. I think the APN settings are wrong on the custom ROMs and would like to change them so they're right, but I can't do anything about it.
I'm with Virgin Mobile Canada, which uses Bell's network. Any Virgin users on here or anyone else have this problem?
