I have a telus galaxy s4 that is running 4.2.2. I unlocked it using "Regionlock Away". I know it worked because I tried using my brothers Rogers sim and it worked. I followed the guide posted on XDA on how to unlock AWS bands, but it did not work. When I flash the AWS file with QPST, it all went well. No error messages. It rebooted my phone but I still can't pick up a Wind Mobile signal. Does anyone know where I went wrong? Would leaving the Wind sim card in while flashing caused this?

Hi,
I have SGH-M919V and its unlocked.
I am on Bell and want to use LTE. But this model has LTE disabled. when i enable it, cant make phone calls.
I cant seem to flash T mobile modem via odin. there is this secure boot issue. the AUTH: Fails.
I was thinking of installing Bell SGH-I337M rom on my phone. Is that possible? If so, how do I go about doing it?
Thanks!
Since you have a T-Mobile variant you should ask in the sgs4 tmobile forum...
However your problem with lte/phonecalls is likely just an APN issue
To further assist we would need to know which carrier you are using the device on

Hey. thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it.
I've been asking a lot there. No one is answering.
Please help me out, please.
My phone is Canadian variant, originally from WindMobile - SGH-m919V. Wind uses Tmobile freq. = 1700/2100 (AWS) only. No LTE.
I got it unlocked two days ago, and switched over to Bell carrier. Bell uses the other freq and LTE.
When I do force LTE by *#2263# - and enable all LTE, i get LTE speeds. But NO calling or texting. this is with the original Windmobile stock rom. No modification. No root.
I tried to flash Tmobile modem via odin 3.07, didnt work. I used the phone button to load the modem.bin. It gave me AUTH: Fail, secure check fail.
I agree, wrong forum, but we are here to please....
if you have a M919V then you would flash the rom you want, before you boot, flash a tmo m919V kernel, it will boot, manually add your apn settings for your device, it will work with data/wifi/calls.
Good luck....
Hi, im sorry for posting in this forum.
so if I want to flash the bell rom - I337M stock original rom , how do I flash it without booting??
And then how would I flash the tmobile kernel so then I can boot??
I dont mind keeping my current rom - wind stock. But, I want to be able to use LTE like how tmobile has pentaband 3g plus lte.

Bought an S4 that was already gsm unlocked. I have an AT&T sim so I know the previous owner did the unlock correctly, however, I can only get Edge as the phone only works in GSM mode. It will not work in WCDMA mode as it drops the radio entirely. I'm on the NAE modem on CM11. I reflashed MK2 and then back to NAE to make sure that was taken care of, but it's still no go on WCDMA. What could I be missing? Thanks.
Repeat the domestic unlock. Previous owner probably missed some step. BTW you will only get HSPA+ on ATT.
Hi, friend of mine gave me a Note 3 which was locked to Wind mobile before.
The phone is now unlocked and can work with Rogers, Fido, Telus, Bell and T-mobile.
The problem I have now is whenever I put back the Wind card in, I can't have it to register to wind network.
I even tried to update it to the latest stock firmware OTA to 4.42 now and it still doing the same thing.
Is there anything I can do to make it work on Wind network again?
I suspect the phone is not running on 1700mhz.
Is there a way to find out?
I got an i337m Fido-locked phone, and I have purchased an unlock code for it. However, the unlock code doesn't work and I don't know what to do. I've been trying to get it unlocked and working with AWS Bands for the last 3-4 months with no progress. I'm currently rooted and running danvdh's gpe of 4.4.4. I've read through all the tutorials I could find on here but none of it has worked for me so far. Thanks for any help I can get, this phone has been a huge headache for me and I just want it unlocked and working with AWS Bands.
Have you tried this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291589&page=134 ?
If I were to install a new rom, after factory resetting the stock rom that has AWS enabled, would I keep the AWS enabled status?
Also, it's a canadian s4 I337M Bell unlocked
with a freedom mobile sim card
Nope, resetting will lose the aws settings.
