Thanks again,

I'm in the heart of the city, I contacted my cell carrier and they confirmed that my location has a plenty of LTE, they also told me it might be a faulty SIM.........Not sure if this is correct !

Re. the TouchWiz ROM, is there any possibility flushing that ROM would brick my phone as this is 4.2.2 and my phone runs 4.3 ?

Thanks for the reply,

Actually, I've been having some issues in the past few days........here's what's happened:

- I went to FIDO (My phone Carrier) and bought a new LTE card, plugged it into the phone, didn't do much....I was getting the same speed.

- I flashed the Stock ROM 4.2.2 and my phone was unrooted (don't know how)...

- Tried CF Auto Root to Root my phone, the Red Android logo showed but didn't say "Rooting or something like that"........just "Mounting" System....etc." and then rebooted. Apparently it didn't Root my phone.

- Tried CF again, same issue.........So, I decided to Flash CWM and try another Custom ROM

- Trying to Install CWM, my phone bricked and couldn't get anything but "download screen"........ :(

- Trying different ver. of ODIN, was getting errors and something like "PIT not found"

- Got the "Galaxy4.PIT" flashed via ODIN and my phone was live again......:laugh:

- Tried to flash "Canadian Custom ROM Ver." http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=904:how-to-update-samsung-sgh-m919-galaxy-s4-tmobile-firmware-version-manual-update-guide&catid=57:how-to&Itemid=104 for Android 4.2.2 BEFORE upgrading to 4.3 to resolve the LTE issue......but my phone Bricked again !!!

- Tried to flash the "PIT" file again - and this is the weird part - where ODIN showed "Failed", I took the battery out to reboot the phone. I powered the phone on, expecting to get the "Firmware issue....." screen but the phone came back alive although the PIT wasn't Flashed !!!

Now, I'm really confused with this phone.......not sure what to do as it won't read my 64 GB SD card and once inserted, I was getting "it's safe to remove SD card" and couldn't mount it at all !!

Do u think it's a problem with the phone ?? If not, what do u suggest ??

I'm thinking about resetting the binary counter and have it replaced as it's still in warranty

Thanks a lot.....

I'm pretty sure:

H = 3G

H+ = HPSA+ (high speed 3G/4G T-Mobile equivalent :))

4G/LTE = LTE

You probably need to format your 64GB card to Fat32 using your pc.

There's a program to do it as I believe the windows program only formats cards up to 32GB. Here's a comprehensive tutorial:

I was running WanamLite ROM which runs very smoothly, prior to installing Infamous S4.

I've also had CallRecorder for quite a while which is Top Notch, and the best call recording app I've tried, and I've tried many ;)

jrkruse call recording is really a break through for the S4, as we didn't have call recording ability on the US variants.

Why FAT32? Is it because he's using custom ROM? My 64GB Samsung SDXC is formatted with exFAT, and it works fine in Android/GS4. Maybe it's cause I use stock ROM at the moment (do custom ROMs lack exFAT support?). The thing with the FAT32 trick is it is only necessary for older devices which support SDHC, but not SDXC directly. The deal is, SDXC specifies the new exFAT file system, and SDHC specifies the FAT32 one. Using FAT32 on SDXC cards, although not ideal because of sector sizes and partition limitations, is a way to get larger SDXC cards to work in old SDHC devices that can only read FAT32. This is not necessary to do on modern Android devices, which based on the tests with my phone, support exFAT/SDXC natively.

hey, I want to know something. I am trying to unlock my phone, but there are no guides in this topic. I found plenty of unlock/MSL retrieval guides for the GS3 and older phones, but not GS4. The trick I hear that still works for the S4 is accessing a MSL code requiring screen, then after it fails, running "getprop ril.MSL'. I couldn't get it to work, because I don't have any screens that use the MSL code. And most of the codes, like ##3282# don't work. I get a message, "USSD code running" "Unable to process request". I just believe the old codes are invalid for GS4 from T-Mobile..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Some ROMs will only read the SD card formatted in Fat32.

If you're speaking of unlocking the Bootloader on the T-Mobile M919, it already comes Unlocked.

that method is potentially dangerous. I am looking for a guide to retrieving the actual sim lock code directly, for a direct clean SIM unlock. kind of akin to the guides for retrieving the MSL codes on CDMA devices.

here is the old guide for the GS3 to retrieve MSL codes. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1745888

is this possible on GSM versions of the phone? originally I thought the Master Subsidy Lock code was the same on both CDMA/GSM. But, none of the menu options seem to work on my GSM/T-Mobile phone. I cannot bring up any menus which require or ask for the MSL, so I cannot get the "getprop ril.MSL" string to work. isn't MSL the same as the Sim Lock code, or nay?

I was looking around and found a source below regarding the SIM unlock & MSL code in one article. It seems pretty informative and explained the how to's, differences, etc.

While a SIM Unlock (GSM) & MSL code (CDMA) achieve unlocking of the devices for their respective carriers, with Verizon SIM unlock having a Data restriction if used with a different carrier in the USA, it would seem the CDMA Unlocking method is not transferable to GSM devices.

The stock phone will overwrite with the stock recovery unless you are really quick out pull the battery out at the right time.

DONT power on phone

Press Power button & Volume Down button at same time.

Hold the buttons together until you see Green Android on display.

If your battery has little power, plug device into charger for half hour.

Dear XDA friends,

There are a few apps (ChatOn etc) which bother me and I want to remove them. From what I've read, this requires root access.

Also would like to run Greenify, reading alot of good things about it. That app also requires root access.

Forgive me but I am an ex-Iphone user...recently switched, and will NEVER go back to Apple. I love my Samsung S4 (9505)...!

I am pretty computer literate and don't have any problems with the instructions to root the phone (CF AutoBoot etc), but I am wondering if it will work on my phone.

I very recently updated my phone (I know, not smart) and my current baseband version is XXUDMHB (read XXUDMH5 is the base).

It is running KNOX and I am hesitant of trying CF Autoboot at this point.

About to root. Some questions

I intend to follow the steps here, but I think I must pull out the battery right after it says PASS in the ODIN step (step 10), and make sure Autoreboot is not checked, right (step 8)? (How does it work for OP then?)

I got the OTA update to 4.3 and my baseband version is M919UVUEMK2 (Tmobile SGH-M919 model). I want to flash a good 4.4 ROM that has stock camera and the IR blaster functional. I think the second is moot now because 4.4 itself supports IR.

Any suggestions? And does it matter that Tmo has only released 4.3. Would the baseband incompatibility cause any data drop issues?
