Hey guys, little help please, I tried it and it didn't work :( I bought the phone unlocked, it works with all the major carriers (Telus, bell, rogers) but I need to unlock it on mobilicity, I have the i337M model but for some reason when I do this it doesn;t work, I put the sim back in and it asks me for an unlock code, anyone else having this issue? It seems to be working for everyone and I've went through it carefuly step by step and still nothing :( please help

Sounds like the phone is not sim unlocked. The AWS mod does not sim unlock, it only open the AWS bands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atillathehun:
Hello,

I tried to SIM Unlock my Galaxy S4 SGH-i337M with the service mode method, then tried to enable AWS. After a few trials I could see the ports ( COM11 and COM12) in the device manager, I added them, followed the steps, the phone rebooted but I realized it didnt get SIM unlocked.

I SIM unlocked it now (works both on Rogers and Bell) and tried with Wind SIM card as well, but it couldnt find WIND network, however under APN Wind address does come up.

Tried to enable AWS again, but my PC cant see the phone now ( nothing shows in device manager ), and in QPST Config COM1 and COM2 are crossed with a little red line, tried to enable them but it wont work (it says port is either busy or damaged or something like that). Tried many times on 3 different PC's, wont work. Did I screw up my S4 trying it so many times before and after the SIM unlock? What did I do wrong? Could someone help me to troubleshoot and fix this? Thank you!

After I do this mod, then if I see that my "Mobile network type" on T-Mobile is "HSPA:11", then I'll know that it worked, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Febby:
Hello fellas. Does this mod allow you to select the WCDMA 1700 band 4? I can't seem to select it. If I click it it goes into it but doesn't stick, but it lets me select and keep WCDMA band 1900. I can select any LTE band though and it sticks.

Has any successfully just stuck to WCDMA 1700? I know my area uses the 1700 more than the refarmed 1900.

EDIT: Reapplied this mod once again and now it is indeed letting me select the band 1700. :)

Many others have already confirmed this works but I thought I'd just add to it.

I have a Rogers i337m and I did this mod a while back. Just officially tested on T-Mobile down in Seattle and Portland. Was able to connect to AWS 3G and H+ on the phone, and of course 4G (LTE), which the phone is already capable of doing. Some of the areas I was in were refarmed 3G areas on PCS, but I did confirm I was able to connect to AWS (band 4) in non-refarmed areas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atillathehun:
EDIT: I factory reset it, ( maybe just a phone reboot would have solved the problem ), tried it again and it worked this time. Thanks a lot for the guide, it’s very detailed, I have access to all Canadian carriers now, Im still confused if theres anything else I should do re selecting different bands, or how to go about to do anything like that, but I can confirm my Galaxy S4 SGH-i337M works on Wind now!!!

Note: In order for the PC to detect my GS 4 again I reset it to MTP+ABB in Phone Utility ( spent hours trying everything before I figured it out, ) and enabling USB Debugging updates the drivers. Thanks again!

Why can't I resist the new update... Now after update, two important functions are gone: Tethering and AWS disabled. Hope someone can find a solution to enable AWS soon.

Update: Now I dial *#0808# and it works. The AWS is back! Now, I guess I have to wait new root methods for the new MF3 update.

Will this work on i537 (Galaxy S4 Active)?

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ----------

Can't you just flash it to the previous system, and firmware if necessary?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RonH54:
Someone posted this in another thread:

"The AT&T S4 has a locked bootloader. That means nothing will flash through ODIN that doesn't contain Samsung's Encrypted key. The encryption Samsung uses is for all practical purposes unbreakable. A leak or release from Samsung would be the only way to obtain it. Apparently, the S4s that now have the new OTA firmware's aboot file render the previous AMDB and AMDL firmwares as unsupported. I am speculating that when Samsung releases the new full firmware that it will flash through ODIN, but it has not been released yet. In any case, ODIN will still only be usable (for those with the new firmware) to reflash that firmware."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mnasledov:
Pardon as I don't have much experience with non-TMO devices yet, what about loki_flash ? I thought that's what i337 owners used to flash stuff they wanted.

is there any way to get this to work on the i9505? (uses the same hardware as i337)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mikebb00:
Will this mod still work after the most recent update deployment from AT&T? The reason why I ask is the main menu in the Service Mode is no longer accessible and want to make sure this still works because I plan on switching my services to T-Mobile in the next few days. It will be SAD if I cannot access LTE on this phone on the T-Mobile network. Please let me know. Thx
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mikebb00:
This mod is applied to my AT&T SGS4 and went into my local T-Mobile store to find out LTE is not fully deployed in my area yet. I ran a speed test while connected to T-Mobile UMTS and AT&T LTE, T-Mobile wins easily. However, it still doesn't tell me if after applying this mod and after the latest update to this phone if it will connect to T-Mobile LTE network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] parmar.saab:
I have this mod installed on my i337, running on TMO US. I did, however, notice that sometimes the network drops to edge, and when I go into the network menu, it says something along the lines of "PCS 1900 available". At this point, if I manually switch to WDCMA only with 1900, the phone picks up 4G on PCS. In essence, it appears that the automatic band switching doesn't seem to work properly. Any solutions?

stumbling a bit here, not getting Qualcomm screen

OK, somehow not connecting to the right options: have i337 rooted, superCID, and running Goldeneye ROM so it looks like an i9505, I9505XXUBMF8. I have a Net10/TMo sim. Downloaded the files, ran QPST on PC, then from My Files installed Phoneutil on S4. Niether short code gets me the Qualcomm screen. What am I missing here?

EDIT: My 3rd screen capture below doesn't show "Qualcomm" like the OP, but is the right place, just press on per the recipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] _eroz:
Did you then connect the phone to your pc for the drivers to install and then Start QPST Confirguration application?

you run QPST after you install Phoneutil on your phone. Just follow the simple instructions as they are written on the OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] htc fan89:
Sorry, If this has been asked before..but, can I enable AWS on Verizon galaxy s4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] aznhbob:
got thru it with only a bloody nose

My stumbling block was lack of screen with "Qualcomm" USB designation, as shown. I didn't want to venture into some other internal arena and botch things royally. Finally concluded that the screen was good enough (even though it DIDN'T match the posted screen capture) and pressed on thru the OP pretty much as posted...but that was only after I found that if you just close the phone with RNDIS+DM+MODEM selected (without running QPST)....ummm, well, the PC no longer sees the phone, and none of the Samsung drivers, modem or port info is shown in device manager either. That put me into a do thru loop of uninstall, boot, reinstall, boot, use regedit to remove all Samsung entries, swap USB connnections and cables, etc etc trying to get the drivers to show again, until I went back and saw that I'd left the changed setting in phoneutil. Back to MTP+ADB, everything shows up. So a 10 minute process took 10 hours. Next one will be a snap. Got some testing to do, my ping is 129ms, but downloads at >10M makes for a big smile! Thanks will be posted accordingly.

Poor reception

Hey everyone,

I noticed how my Canadian sgs4 gave me very poor reception in Boston where I currently live. With my previous phone I had quite good reception, but now there seems to be big areas where I don't have any data connection at all (my gsm still work, I just can't get any data connection. This pphone is very new (I've had it for 2 days), and I figured this might be the solution I needed. After following the instructions in the OP I have no better luck.

I have entered the *#2263# menu, and by basically trying every single option in there I managed to find options that suddenly gave me 14mbits here at home, for instance. I Stared (*) the option "WCDMA ALL", and that seems to have done it, at least in this spot. Will there be trouble arising from leaving it at that? Somehow the problem seems to be that my phone isn't automatically signing in with the right network, any ideas on how to fix this? A lot of thanks and love going to anyone even attempting to answer this question, since this is kind of annoying! =)

Success on my AT&T i337. I'm not sure this will be of any use while I'm in the US on AT&T, but I'm hoping this gives me a bit more coverage on vacation in europe if they still sell pay-as-you-go sim cards everywhere.

Thanks for the guide and thanks to the guys who came up with this. :good:

Hi all ...

we need some (maybe a lot) help from programmers to try to remap the hard keyboard keys from mda3.

As many guys know, we are a lot that we buy the mda3 with german hard keyboard layout... and now that we all have an english os, we must remap the key and symbols.

Any idea will be appreciated, we have all files from german os an english os.

Nobody want to broke the keyboard to glue the buttons in other place...

Nobody now how and where can order another english keyboard and replace it phisically.

Remain two thinks:

1. find the file with the layout and remap the symbols via hex edit

2. recompile a new layout (and here may be usefull for future progs)

All idea wiil be apreciated, all guru's invited :-)

Please help us ... we can not take advantage of the new hard keyboard in this mode.

Thanks all before and...

COURAGE FOR ALL NEW POSTS THAT MUST BE UPDATED(POSTED) !!!

:-) :-) :-)

[General Topics] DaleReeck:
Actually, keys and numbers are fine. It's punctuation that is almost impossible to use unless you have a good memory :)

From what I remember of the old thread that got wasted, a few things were looked at but it seems harder than it should. You would think one or two files transferred from the PDA2K to the MDA III, like a keyboard dll and a mapping data file, would do the trick but, as usual with engineers, they made it harder than it should.
[General Topics] AE:
I can suggest another way for this remapping: just writing a kind of program lookind for keypressings and substitute them with another keystrokes.

I've already done it for Russian keyboard (project home page is http://ae.inc.ru/bahrus.html , but it is Russian only). Current state is "beta".

I can do some key remappings this way. But I need to know which of the keys should be replaced with which one. Or replacement table may be simply saved in config.
[General Topics] DenisJ:
I'll do a tabel with the replaced hex value ...

You need only the xex value for this or need more ?

Thanks a lot

Denis
[General Topics] DenisJ:
Let's try (before find all remapping simbol) to remap only the two letters z and y.

Symbolic constant	Value (Hex)	keyboard equivalent

VK_Y	59	Y key

VK_Z	5A	Z key

like ... if '59' then '5A' and viceversa...

If we can remap this two letters, we can remap all we want.

Thanks a lot

[General Topics] AE:
AEKMap is available at http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.html

To make "remapping" you need:

- install the program;

- run Start - Programs - AEKMap Settings and choose "AZERTY MDAIII with English ROM" in first combo box

- set three other optional layouts to "unassigned" and/or unassign "switch" key.

If you want to create specific layout, you may start with editing one of the existing. Use \Program Files\AEKMap\AEKMapScan.exe to define keyboard pseudo-scan codes.

To find unicode character codes use Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map on your desktop :)

This program may be closed with popup menu on system tray (lower-right corner of today screen).

And I'm definitly sure that some bugs are in this utility now. Let me know if you find them :)

Also send me with your layouts to be published on site (will appear in a days)

P.S.: AEKMapper may be used to remap almost any external or built-in hardware keyboard recognized by system.
[General Topics] wnpublic:
AWESOME!

Thanks for doing this. If i understand correctly, what's needed now to get the German MDA III keyboard mapped correctly, following the imate english rom installation, is to:

use AEKmapscan.exe to identify all the keys that need remapping

then look up the correct unicode characters for the desired keymapping

enter them into a .AEK file and put into the Program Files/AEKMap directory on the MDA III.

If i get some free time today, that's what I'll do. If anybody beats me to it, please post!

thanks again, AE!
[General Topics] wnpublic:
So here is a mostly working layout file for the MDAIII German. The only thing that seems to be not working is the semicolon/colon key just to the right of the space bar. that key seems to have no shifted mode, according to aekmapscan.exe

also: if aekmapscan.exe is running, this appears to stop the keyboard from working at all in applications. it needs to be stopped entirely.

Thanks again for this great tool!
[General Topics] AE:
It is always nice to know your job is needful to someone :)

As for the problem with semicolon: changing CapsLock/Shift processing flags should help:

HookShift 1

HookCapsLock 1

Probably I'll find a better solution for this later, but now I can't...

Official project home page will be available at http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.html

Bug report

AEKMap works quite well, thanks to the developer!

But...

I noticed that, when AEKMap is on, you can´t adjust sound/volume levels from the external button on the left side of the screen. Is that a bug or a feature? :roll:

Second thing is that if you switch the AEKMap off, you can switch it on only by softreset. Is that ment to be? :(

Can anyone confirm those features, or is it just in my MDAIII?

Re: Bug report

I also noticed that the four direction buttons(up/down, left/right) below screen doesn´t work when AEKMap is on.

Anyone with same observations? Bugs or features?

-Jigi
[General Topics] paulmc:
Yes I had the same thing, could not scroll down the XDA site.
[General Topics] AE:
First, about shift/capslock keys.

Currently I don't know how to request they states from keyboard drivers. No one of the standard interfaces returns this information :( The only way for me is to check shift flag returned with a keypressing. But unfortunately, keyboard driver not send this flag with Tab, Del, dot, comma and arrow keys... So if you need no these key to remap - everything works fine.

To resolve shift/capslock problem AEKMap may hook and handle them by itself. This option may be turned on with HookShift and HookCapsLock parameters in layout file. But another problem arises: AEKMap shift/caps state will not correspond with keyboard driver. To avoid troubles with this you will need to remap ALL character keys even they already generates char codes you need...

Probably I will find more correct solution for this problem later, but currently I cant :(

Then, about arrow keys and joystick

If you re-define keyboard arrows - you will meet with another problem:

built in keyboard driver sends absolutely no difference between arrow keys and joystick. This means that you will print characters with joystick instead of scrolling. And I'm afraid this problem has no solution until keyboard driver will change his behavior :(

And finally, about "unloading"

There are two ways to use AEKMap:

- make it "resident" by using setting 2 or more layouts (one of them may be <default>) while lefting other layouts "unassigned". This will allow you to switch between layouts using hot key.

- make it "loadable on demand" by assigning AEKMap to (E) button with Settings -> Buttons applet and choose "unload Keyboard Mapper" as last active layout.

Edit: You answered most of my questions above. (minutes off from my post)

____________________

Nice !

Quick question, why did you remap Y and Z when they were already working? (which country profiles are we all dealing with here?) I'm in the U.S. (California) Easily fixed..... I modified the .AEK file removing the top lines to not remap Z and Y and now it's just right for me. :D

I noticed the joystick doesnt work while keys are remapped as stated before. Is this something that can be over come in future releases? I'll have to switch back to the <Default layout> as needed for now. The joystick does produce various char's though while using the MDA layout. (instead of moving the cursor) Will you be able to make the app smart enough to let the joystick work durring none text apps at the very least if the joystick has no perm fix? Can we sacrifice some of the remaps to prevent the joystick from not responding? After I map to MDA III here's how the joystick responds.

Up = "?"

Down = "-"

Left = "."

Right = error ding

What is the "Switch Key" used for and what is the default 00C9?

Why did you put custom buttoms for Shift and Caps can you give an example on what someone would do with additional Shift and Caps keys?

Also, will you be working on getting the keyboard red arrow keys to work too? (they produce symbols right now as well)

Thanks for the time and effort on this quick beta release! That was very fast and makes my phone closer to the real deal. *high five*
