re: locked/unlocked

Exactly, the hardware is only a little different that's why we can use the cwm/twrp flashable zipfile custom

tmobile/at&t roms with either the tmobile locked or unlocked phones or the unlocked at&t phones.

The only exception is that wifi calling only works on an actual tmobile phone with a tmobile

sim card which is on the tmobile network whether it's locked or unlocked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Don't think it matters if WiFi calling isn't enabled. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kc2koj@hotmail.com:
I thought the hardware between the AT&T s4 and the T Mobile s4 was the same. I thought the reason they received different radio frequencies was in the firmware and not the hardware can anyone confirm ..

I wanted to try to flash AT&T stock firmware on my t-mobile s4 for better performance on AT&T network
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] anl2304:
I would love the answer to this question too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cal-El:
The key is the Modem aka Baseband. This is the Radio file and it is hardware and carrier dependent. If you try to flash this you will mess up the bootloader and radio and you have a brick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cproaudio:
I'm too on AT&T network with T-Mobile phone. I'm using the stock MDL radio and it's working fine. I don't notice a difference between the 2 devices on LTE network. if T-Mobile can't lock on to LTE network, AT&T S4 won't either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ne0gotenks:
sorry to slightly threadjack.... but does that mean if i flash a custom s4 AT&T rom (i.e. "CleanRom"), i will still be going through a Tmobile bootloader \ kernal etc..?

Is there any foolproof way to "convert" an tmobile s4 to an ATT based s4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
Can't you guys just flash a popular custom rom for sgh-i337 variant and then change the radioband (or whatever it's called) sh*t manually? If you ever flash another carrier rom, make sure ur baseband is the original carrier/phone as stated before. And flash ur carrier/phone kernel(custom or stock, doesn't matter) as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sharpxia:
I believe these ppl created this topic because they want the stock carrier branded firmware on their phone, so that they can have all the carrier specific features on their phone. Third party ROM is not their choice, otherwise there are tones post out there already. I believe someone must be brave enough to flash it to their phone to test that, otherwise, there is no good answer to that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nestorx:
Hi guys, anyone can tell me if this will work:

I have TMO M991 and I want to use it in Europe but have problem with network signal (not registered on network; missed calls & s... like that).

My guess is that radio is different and optimized for LTE, which we dont have here...

I m thinking of flashing I9505 stock rom and baseband...what do You think, will this improve radio reception/stable network signal?

I9505 is the version used in Europe region...

I honestly tried to find similar topics, no luck so far so pls point me in the right direction if nothing else...

Cheers!

Hi there! New to the forum, formerly used SDX developers.

on my first TouchWiz device and was hoping to hear some opinions and get educated on how custom ROMs work on a phone with an OEM overlay. I previously ran a Nexus S with Cyanogenmod on it. I really enjoyed it, but didn't lose any features going from vanilla Android to CM.

curious what features I might lose if I were to switch on this new phone. The features I might be interested in not losing are the camera app (essentially the burst shooting mode and best picture mode) and the air gestures. There were many features I really enjoyed of CM, but I would like most some sort of compromise.

other ROM suggestions would be appreciated to hear too.

Thanks for your time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Inline:
You basically either got to go AOSP or TW, all the TW roms will have those features that come with stock working. AOSP roms like CM, AOKP, PA, etc won't have any of the unique TW features like air gestures and etc. In regards to the camera, it won't be the same exact app, but I'm pretty sure AOSP has a few equivalent shooting modes but I don't remember which ones, haven't used the AOSP camera in awhile.

And I'm pretty sure I've read that it won't be possible to merge those TW features, like smart scroll and all that air stuff, into CM and etc. MAYBE if the Google GS4 comes with them we will be able to port them in, but I doubt that'll the Google S4 will.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] SalomonCascade:
So S Beam and S Health won't be ported to AOSP style ROMs either? I'm just trying to figure out which way to go. I like the idea of some of these features, but realistically probably wouldn't use them much. Have you experimented with any ROMs on your S4 yet? Thanks for your response.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Inline:
I'm quite sure that the APK's of those apps are dependent on Touchwiz so they won't work if your on an AOSP rom. That might not be the case for all of them.

Yes sir! I have tried all the main TW roms out, Force Rom is a really slimmed down stock rom with some nice mods, FreeGS4 is a choose and pick everything you want from stock with everything being included and most of it being uninstallable by default, with a bunch of great mods, Blue Kuban is a blue themed out TW rom with a great built in mod downloader/updater. All three are great with different niches. There is also Highway (or something like that) and Untitled rom but those are in their early stages still.

And the AOSP roms are the usuals, CM, AOKP, AOSPA and also SlimBean. If your going to try an AOSP rom I recommend the official CM nightlies or Slimbean as the others are still in beta.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] SalomonCascade:
I've been thinking I would wait for a CM milestone before giving it a shot. Might try Free GS4, that sounds up my ally. Thanks again for the answers. One last question if you have time: Have you considered dual booting?

Having this problem now with SlimKat 4.4 RC3 2.8 for samsung Galaxy S i9000 (trying to upgrade to official 3.0)

It refuses to detect that its connected to a computer. Have to reboot several times to get it working, and once it works, it only works for a short while. Then all of a sudden, connection dies.

I suspect it's the low memory condition that causes this. Slimrom has an extremely aggresive memory management, and some important services, such as bluetooth, usb connection, wifi etc...etc... is killed due to low meomory condition.

Nope, it won't lock or re-lock your phone, once a phone is unlocked properly it will stay that way

regardless which rom you flash and regardless if you're on the AT&T network or Tmobile network.

Do not Odin flash the AT&T stock firmware on a Tmobile phone even if it's unlocked.

If you do you will not be able to make or receive any phone calls.

You can flash AT&T or Tmobile CWM/TWRP flashable stock or custom zip file roms because

those do not contain the radio/modem images like the Odin flash firmware do.

If you odin flash back to stock Tmobile firmware you will loose root unless you re-root after flashing.

As far as bootloaders go, a Tmobile phone requires a Tmobile bootloader, but you don't need to worry

about that if you flash the stock official tmobile firmware with Odin.

All the other tmobile and at&t cwm/twrp flashable zip file roms found in these threads don't contain

any bootloaders that's why they can be flashed on any unlocked and rooted tmobile or at&t phones.[/quote]

so the hardware is different is that why you cant flash att stock firmware with odin on a T-Mobile s4

re: ATT&Tmo

The hardware is NOT the same.

If the hardware was the same for both the AT&T S4 and Tmobile S4 phones then there would only

be one model for both carriers and both carriers would be using the same frequencies of operation.

It's not the software that determines the frequencies of operation, it's in the hardware.

Another thing is that the AT&T has a locked bootloader, the Tmobile bootloader is not locked.

(Whether the bootloader is locked or not it has nothing to do with rooting)

AT&T ROMS on T-Mobile S4

I've been attempting to install the stock AT&T firmware on my T-Mobile M919. I understand after reading the thread that this is not possible which is why the Odin flash always fails. I am using an AIO (AT&T) sim card. I have been flashing ROMS built for the I337. Most boot loop after install. Those that install successfully cannot activate the WIFI function on the phone. Both Xperia and Darth Stalker work when installed for the AT&T variety of S4. Today I read the Goldeneye installation instructions which state if the AT&T baseband is not flashed on the phone, then WIFI will not work which is the problem I routinely experience. So my question is should I be flashing T-Mobile S4 roms even though I have an AT&T sim? or do I have another issue? The phone is rooted and sim unlocked. Thanks!

Have TWRP installed. Have made nandroid back up.

So here are the steps I am going to follow.

1) Download Official Telus Firmware (4.2.2 AMG) from sammobile.

2) Wipe to factory default using TWRP.

3) Flash Telus firmware 4.2.2 using Odin.

4) Root the phone.(CF-Auto Root)

Can someone please tell me if this is OK?

Are there any chances of bricking the device if you install telus rom on fido phone?

Just want to make it sure before I proceed.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
Hi all,

maybe you read the news that Play Store 4.1.6, which was rolled out after Google I/O, should drain the battery on some devices, so in the last days Google updated to 4.1.10 silently.

Last night I got the update but since then my RAZRi drained faster than before. I rebooted, cleared cache and such things, but the problem remains.

Do anyone of you experience the same?

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
But Play Store does auto update itself, why not in your system?

Edit: is patched, ok :)

Edit 2: Google Play is not the problem... Seems that Google Play Services is the battery hog.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaftenberg:
Just a small update FYI: Not the Play Store Services were the problem...

Unfortunately there were two conditions which came together. I modded a few things at my SystemUI.apk and got FC's after reboot and so on, solved it and left the phone alone. Just at this time (god knows why), Play Store updated itself, so I thought it was the cause for wakelocks - but it wasn't.

I rolled back to a CWM backup few days old, let Play Store update and discovered, that no battery drain appears.

The same curiosity was weeks ago, when I searched for the cause of wakelocking my RAZRi. After days I decided to factory reset and start anew. Seems, that if you'll play too much with your system and anything goes wrong (FC's especially with playing around with SystemUI.apk), some things may get corrupt in data.

So, the topic of this thread is solved :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Capp5050:
by way of follow-up...I froze the app using Titanium B/up a couple weeks ago and have experienced no unusual issues. As the poster above mentions, I believe it may be related to one of the default-loaded 'widget' apps, perhaps Yahoo News or Yahoo Finance; I've also frozen these, as I don't use them.

While investigating this issue, I also came across a recommendation for an app called Greenify, which I now highly recommend. It's kind of a fail-safe in that it basically allows you to prohibit apps from running in the background while still allowing you to use them when you'd like (unlike freezing or deleting).

Unified Daemon (EUR)

This issue started after the Samsung update. I tried this in January when the process used over 2 GB of data between 2am and 6am when it ran the battery down and shut the phone off. The service turned itself back on and kept using data, so I disabled it by turning it off. After the new billing cycle began, I tried turning it back on, this time it used 250 MB of data after I went to bed one evening. Clearing the data does nothing to stop this from using massive amounts of data. I would like for this to be fixed, however, because with it off, the Briefing alarm doesn't update the weather and it no longer reads the news stories. This was never a problem until the latest Samsung OS update. Is there an estimated date when this will be fixed? My favorite feature of the phone is the briefing alarm which has been disabled by stopping this Unified Daemon (EUR).
