If anyone is looking for a Canadian Carrier ROM with NO Carrier Bloatware, I can confirm that the Koodo firmware has nothing on it but the bloat from Samsung (this includes TripAdvisor). No carrier apps or TV service apps on it as found on the other roms, including Telus. I believe this is the cleanest Canadian rom...

Do i really need to flash the kernell???

Hey guys a quick question, im from puerto rico and im using the galaxy s4 from the company CLARO. Do i really need to flash the kernell on the thread or not? cause i just flashed the firmware and everything seems to be working just fine.

No need to flash the kernel. It should be included in the firmware. It is useful if you flash a custom kernel and want to go back to stock without having to reflash everything.

So is there any luck for a 4.3 ROM on a Rogers SGH-I337M yet? I tried Omega v13.1 but had numerous modem related issues. Don't want to flash anything other than a Rogers or SGH-I337m 4.3 compatible modem. Are there any other options?

I had a heck of a time trying to upgrade my modem last time I needed to - I wound up having to flash a Rogers ROM with the newer modem or I kept getting auth errors.

Nope, we are still waiting.

I´m waiting for an official 4.3 ROM to extract the modem compatible with this new OS version.

I´m from Hermosillo, another of the places where you can find LTE in Mexico. So if you want me to try something, just ping me.

I had this happen too. There's a couple different fixes. You can reroot, then fully unroot inside of superSU app settings. Make sure busybox is deleted before you do this if you installed it after cf-auto-root. I believe it's in /system/xbin. after unrooting via supersu app, reboot 2x. go to odin and reflash stock firmware. reboot. if still showing as custom, go into android's stock recovery and full wipe/factory reset. once it reboots it should be official (at least that's how I got mine to work).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Idan73:
Pride and vanity... Pure and simple.

Every generation sgs introduces new stumbling blocks. Carrier locking, third party flash record (triangle away), signature checks, bootloader locking, inability to roll back, Knox, region locking...

They think they can survive from enterprise customers, same crowd that BlackBerry depended on...

That they can survive without small but vocal techie crowd, that in the news and public in general, can make or break a company. Sure youth can do the same, but they are much more fickle crowd and not to be trusted.

They are digging their own grave... So be it.

It does not take great strength to leave someone or something of you are constantly being pushed and prodded along.

Oh I'm not saying that samsung will come crashing down overnight. It will probably be years, but perception is everything and once it turns into negative is almost irrevocable.

I'm not even sure I'll jump ship just yet. Still on the sidelines, cause I still don't see viable alternative.
