NICE!!! Glad it worked for you. I might possibly make a new AWS unlock guide for the newer updates/i337M because the existing one doesn't work at all :)

-Jamie M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rjohnstone:
Mine still shows RAT Selection option is restricted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
When does it say that, on which screen? I can pick 900 fine, and as long as I click the menu button, then select back (instead of hitting the actual back button), it locks on 900 fine (puts a * beside it), but of course says "no networks" because no 900 here.

You've loaded in the i337_aws file in your phone already?

-Jamie M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rjohnstone:
My bad... I forgot to put my T-Mobile SIM in first. :p

I forgot that AT&T SIMs are RAT locked.

I get the full menu and AWS bands once I put in the T-Mobile SIM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MTechRD:
Thanks for answer.

Well, i already selected the wcdma 900 option but not work.

What do you think?

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

I already did, but still the same situation, only get signal on 2g network but nothing on 3g.

Do you any idea what else can I do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
Are you hitting the menu key, then selecting BACK right? Mine didn't switch till I did that.

Do you have a 900 setting under option 3 (GSM) as well? Try that and see if you get to 3g.

-Jamie M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MTechRD:
Umm I not sure if I did aa you said. Let me try again and I let you know.

But another question: after that... do I have to load again the aws file?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
You don't need to, nope.

-Jamie M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MTechRD:
Ok. Thanks. ... let me try and I'll let you know if works.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MTechRD:
Hi,

I did everything that you said, but didn't work.

I set WCDMA 900, and when select my Operator said: Unable to connect, tray later.

My Operator is Orange and use 900Mhz for 3G/WCDMA and 1900Mhz for 2G Network. I think that maybe have to change the baseband version that can be able to work on 900Mhz.

What do you think?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
I'm still pretty new to android. You could probably flash your phone with a baseband that's designed to work on Orange's 900mhz network, but I'm not sure which one to try, sorry.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dslicks2k:
Hey guys, thanks for all the help.

But I have a problem, upon getting to the QPTS backup, after I click start to backup my NV data it always stops at 16% and I get an error that says : Roaming Lists could not be read. I'm afraid to proceed any further until I can successfully backup lol.

I have a Canadian SGH-I337M on the latest MG1 update, with Mobilicity as my provider. I am here because after upgrading my software from previous MDJ to the new MG1, I lost my mobile network connection. I believe my phone is SIM unlocked as well.

P.S. I don't have my SIM card at the moment (someone is borrowing my SIM card atm), so the phone is on empty SIM. Do I need to have my SIM card inserted for backup to work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] malmon:
works!!

this works on my sgh-i337m on bell network. I can now see mobilicity, wind mobile and LTE is running on band 4.

thanks to all the contributors.

Thanks for the (potentially) one guide that'll save me from having to use ATT while I'm on business stateside...

If the service menu has all LTE bands listed in the NETWORK CONTROL->BAND SELECTION->LTE Band Preference menu, does that mean they're all already enabled, or do they all show up on everyone's phone?

The reason I ask is that I have an oddball SGH-I337M. It came from GTA here in Guam unlocked and rooted from the shop with GTA's slightly custom ROM (which I can't seem to get my hands on a copy of yet). We don't have TM here, so I can't test it yet on their AWS Band. I'll try that next week while I'm in LA. Just wondering if I even need to follow the guide or if it's already done.

Attached are some screenshots of what I have...

Thanks again in advance :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dslicks2k:
Update: inserted my mobilicty sim card and still same error at 16%. Tried to put in a bell sim and phone works..just not with this mobilicity. Any ideas? Using stock everything with latest MG1 software.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norazi:
is this permanent or do i have to do this everytime i wipe/flash a new rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
You only have to redo it if the new rom in includes the modem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] konvict905:
Thanks bro, Can you help me get your set up? I just bought a i337m on bell td and needa get it working on Wind. First I needa unlock it then enable the aws bands. Is it true that the newest update for the s4 dont let u access the service mode menu?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
Correct, no way to unlock the sim with that super easy diag walk through like before.

When I bought my phone it was already unlocked. Once you get it unlocked, just flash this modem file and it'll pick Wind up right away :)

-Jamie M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] konvict905:
Ok, so I'll get unlocked. It's currently on the newest software, I tried downgrading to MDJ from MG1 and it didn't work. So I restored it to MG1. Which modem do I download from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2324667 if I'm on the newest 4.2.2 ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] konvict905:
Thanks, I can do this through Odin right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
I used QPST.

-Jamie M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] konvict905:
whats the phoneutil.apk included in that rar?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dslicks2k:
It's for accessing the USB settings menu (*#7284#), which does not work with the new MG1 software. Just use *#0808# instead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] konvict905:
Oh ok. Can I install that .qcn modem file using Odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dslicks2k:
I think Odin uses .tar and .zip files though I'm not 100% sure, I'm on the exact same boat as you. QPST uses .qcn files though its pretty easy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
I think only with QPST

If you can't get QPST to detect phone (0) then try this:

dial *#0808#, change to RNDIS, if that doesn't work try RMNET, if it still doesn't work dial *#9090# and hit 2 for HSIC. Fire up QPST, restore 337_aws.qcn file (backup yours first), after phone reboots go to mobile network and pick access point names, make sure dot beside your provider, go to network operators and choose "automatically select preferred network". Boom, done.

-Jamie M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dslicks2k:
QPST backup fail fixed!

Ok guys I fixed it! HOLY GRAIL 16% Roaming List could not be read no more! Even though QPST displays (0) on the port, it wasn't actually reading it when I tried to connect my phone if you go to Start Clients -> Server Programming. So, I just connected the phone to a different USB PORT ON MY COMPUTER. And voila! Backed up and restored the new .qnc file. Thanks to the community!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] konvict905:
For USB, do I select CP or AP?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
AP works well.

NICE! Down with Robelus!! Long live Wind!!

I'm not sure if you heard that they are for sale :( Verizon from the US might buy them! They better not get rid of my $6.67/mo cell phone plan!!!

-Jamie M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] konvict905:
Yea, I heard that too. I hope they do get to buy it instead of the Big 3. How the hell you get a $6.67/mo cell plan? I'm on the unlimited wish plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
I'm on the $0/mo plan: http://www2.windmobile.ca/en/Pages/voice-plans.aspx

I pay $40 and I get 6 months service including the add on the Unlimited Canada/US Text/Picture/Video for $5/mo.

So $40 divided by 6 = $6.67/mo total bill :)

I get free incoming calls, unlimited in/out texts, and use WiFi for data whenever I need it. Works perfect for me so far :)

so I was able to access *#0808# and the changes, but not able to to get QPST to recognize it, even after trying RNDIS , RMNET, and the other stuff mentioned in the previous page :(

edit2:

after some retries, it ended up workig wtih RNDIS

I just had to findt he right ports. I wasn't seeing them in the device manager. then I saw both and tried the second one, COMM5, but that didn't work, but changing to COMM4 worked,. it didn't work at first because I didn't browse again in the backup tab, but once I chose COMM4 on each step, everything worked

thanks a lot OP and other guys for the info

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
Mine wouldn't either (Rogers i337m) until I went to *#9090# and hit 2 for HSIC, rebooted the phone and computer, tried a different USB port then voila, picked it up perfect.

What two com ports is your phone using in device manager? If you need more help I can connect in by teamviewer and give it a shot.

So if we ever get to a point where there is decent LTE coverage, we should Restore our original backup QCN?

I notice that I do get LTE in select places and its much faster than HSPA+.. I would prefer it if it had better coverage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
This modem unlock can use both LTE and HSPA, you just have to dial *#2263# and force it to LTE and if your sim/provider is good to go with LTE and you're within range of a tower she'll hop on LTE :)

-Jamie M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norazi:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
My APN is set for me (I guess pulls it from my sim card?). When I open the AP screen it has "Wind Internet" and "Wind SMS Only", I just picked Wind Internet and it's been working great! So can't help you much with the APN settings, sorry.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bendotson:
Maybe I was wrong about the previous post. I was connecting to PCS1900 edge because I was inside a building. When I left that place I was on band 4 hsdpa (or something like that) which is tmobiles 3G network. This mod rocks! I'm rocking the tmobile $30/month unlimited data and text plan with this! F@$k AT&T!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
hahaha! Nice :) Yeah, the different bands penetrate buildings better than others, so you might find it switching when you're inside :)

They gotta pass a law, every phone, needs to be octa band world phone, and fully unlocked from the factory. You can use any sim, from any provider on earth.

One can dream.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norazi:
Yea this mod is awesome... im on t-mobiles $2.99/mo t-zones plan and get LTE in most places (30mbps download/20mbps upload).. it switchs to HSPA+ most of the time when im out of LTE areas which is still pretty fast (15mbps download/8mbps upload)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AnUnknownSource:
This worked perfectly on my GTA (Guam) branded I337M... It may be worth noting that the S4 from GTA comes unlocked with a custom ROM right from the carrier, so this could have already been done, but I doubt it since over there I'm always on band 7. Around the L.A. area I switch to LTE automatically, everywhere else I'm on H or H+. I'm on an MDL modem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mastarpete:
I'm currently on TMO (no 64gb/32gb M919 in sight) and I'm soo tempted to just get a 32gb i337 and do this mod. My only hold back is whether or not the modem is capable of taking advantage of T-mobiles HSPA 42. Or will it still be limited to HSPA 21?

The thought of artificial device crippling like this makes my head hurt! I know it happens, still hard to believe!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Azzair113:

It is. It's the same device. I'm waiting for my AT&T S4 to come in the mail (bought it used for $300, got lucky). I currently have a T-Mobile Note 2. Before that I had an AT&T Note 2 that I performed the AWS mod on. It enabled DC-HSPA+ (42 Mbps).

so let me get this straight, if i do this on my SGH-1337, i can not use the USB connection to the computer to exchange files?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Product F(RED):
Dude. You're not getting it. You change to QPST mode -> do the mod -> Put it back in MTP (normal) mode. That's it. Everything works as it should.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raone26:
Thanks OP for this guide. I confirm that I got 4G working with iWireless (Iowa Wireless Service - Tmobile affiliate in Iowa), my At&t galaxy s4 was giving me only 2G speed originally. After following this guide I got 4G working on AT&T Galaxy S4.

It worked on my unlocked Fido S4 i337M that I am using on Wind Mobile network.

I have a quick question now. May I flash Wind's firmware instead of Fido's in the future?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
I love Wind :)

I would recommend the Telus firmware. Almost zero bloat ware, very fast. Uninstall the MyTelus app (doesn't need root, runs in background) and you're good to go :)

If you load the Telus firmware and your phone thinks it's a Bell or Rogers phone just dial *#272*IMEI# and change it to TLS (warning, will wipe phone) then it'll be perfect.

-Jamie M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ma678:
May I flash Telus firmware without root? Do I have to enable AWS mod again?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] toysareforboys:
I don't believe it flashes modem, just the OS. So you shouldn't need to do AWS mod again.

I flashed it using ODIN, no root required.

-Jamie M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ma678:
Hi Jamie,

I ordin my phone back to MDJ in order to unlock it last night; however, I used Fido's firmware.

Did you have to wipe data/factory reset before ordining your upgrade? What was your previous carrier/firmware? And what's your current? I hate those bloat ware came with the original Fido's firmware and would definitely try Telus.

Thanks a lot.

I have an unlocked AT&T Galaxy S4. I am on the tmobile network. I use the Slimbean ROM.

I have never gotten LTE on my S4 (at least i dont think so). The best i have ever gotten was H+.

I have gotten H+ and 3G prior to this MOD. After this MOD i get very little data signal sometimes E sometimes 4G.

Can some one help me? Tmobile claims i have used up my 500mb of 4G. I called them and they confirmed that H+ is 4G, not 4G LTE therefore i should have 0mb of LTE used.

How can i check if i have an LTE signal? How can i check if i have AWS unlocked (or did i even need to unlock it)?

I am currently on the stock rom because i had to use stock to install the phoneutil APK. I
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Febby:
HSPA+ to them is considered 4G. So you used 500 MBs of 4G (HSPA+). LTE is LTE. Though refered as 4G LTE by some.

To check you can dial *#2263* and try to select WCDMA band 1700. Press menu and press back on the menu. It should have a " * " next to WCDMA ONLY or click WCDMA and see a " * " next to 1700.

You can go back to the band selection menu bu dialing *#2263* go to lte band preference and set it to all lte bands. If you get signal and a data icon you got LTE access. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sharpknight:
Thanks alot for your help so far. I was finally able to get an lte signal howeveriget less data conectivity now. I currently hqve it set to WCDMA/gsm because I get the most that was. Before the mod I got alot of H+. Im going to now go back to slimbean and set it to lte/WCDMA/gsm bc it has that option unlike phoneutil. My big question is DO I HAVE TO SET THE TMOBILE APN? I hqv3 never set any apn and ive had data just fine before (before mod and rom). Also does it matter that I had my tmobile sim card in the phone while performing the mod?
