Do you say that to every one? I asked a question not if I should read. The matter the fact is that what I have been doing but all I have see is how this version blocks root locks boot loader and stops you from downgrading. Just want like to find out if there will be a way to root this. That's all I want to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Thermalwolf:
The answer should be quite clear. Time. Time is all that matters now and it's indefinite to say when or even IF there will be another root method. Dan and Adam have stated before multiple times that the GS4 is an extremely secure device. I wouldn't be surprised if the holidays come around with nothing to show but a lot of research and heart ache.

I remember reading something similar with the last major update to the HTC Incredible 2, then bam. It came. I am hoping that one can be realized by mid august.

hi guys!

I had the worst luck ever, my menu button broke! Now i can't enter fastboot mode in order to flash a new kernel (boot.img)

Is there a way to flash it, maybe using flash tool without fastboot mode? Since the kernel is not a tft file, but a img (found in the ROM`s zip file), I cannot just drop into flash tool. A workaround would be great.

I appreciate any help on this, i'm very sad with so many great roms and I can't taste any of them =/

Hi there,

I have an O2 XDAiis. I would like to put the sim card from this into my Nokia 6230i and use my XDAiis as a PDA connected to my mobile through bluetooth. I have a IPAQ and am able to connect it to to my Nokia 6230i through bluetooth dialup networking but I cannot seen to be able to do this on my XDA. The connectivity I would like is a dialup modem and GPRS… please help

Thanks

Fiona

PS I am using the latest rom and bluetooth drivers from O2
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ichilton:
Hi,

Yeah, the bluetooth seems to be cripled to stop you connecting via another mobile phone and make you use the operator it's got a SIM card for.

I would love to do this to - my blue angel is now my 2nd phone/pda/satnav and GPRS is expensive - if I want to use cheaper GPRS in it i've got to swap the SIM card with my main phone :(

I've looked about quite a bit but can't find any kind of info or workaround.

SO you can flash a 6603 rom on the new TMo 6606?! Very nice. Any issues with doing so? And did you lose LTE or is it all good?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z General] jovyishere:
No you dont lose LTE but you do lose wifi calling if you care about that feature. Other than that most roms run pretty flawlessly on the C6606.
[Xperia Z General] Jonathan2677:
Through my searches I'm only finding you,sorry I'm not lazy but an dying to get 4.2.2 I have root and twrp on my 6606 now before I flash rims must I change firmware and which one are u using sorry for all the questions but Sony is way diff than my HTC one
[Xperia Z General] bane126:
So check it out, I used this 4.2.2 update, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2356455. It was super easy to do and only took about 5 minutes or so once it started flashing. I was on stock TMo firmware and didn't change anything, just followed the instructions from the link I provided and was good to go! I am coming from an HTC and Samsung environment so this was different but easy in the end.
[Xperia Z General] Dark Nightmare:
Did you still have lte support after flashing and did you flash the modem as well?

Edit: Nevermind, went ahead and flashed it...lte is there but not in mobile settings, lol.

LTE band 4 (AWS) is still listed, so it should work on T-Mobile US. Did you check if LTE is still enabled in 'Settings' > 'More...' > 'Mobile networks' > 'Network Mode' ?
[Xperia Z General] Jonathan2677:
Yes it's still enabled in my settings everything is working but like I said at home I have hspa and getting about 12mbps but at work lte so was justmaking sure half my area Is refarmed but again it's in settings and thanks much
[Xperia Z General] ogdobber:
yes, lte on the 6606 still works with 6603/6602 roms.

for a lte quick toggle be sure to use a 6603 rom.

for 4g/h+ type icons etc experiment with different region roms. I prefer the low key look of the spain 6603 rom, very subtle lte symbol. typically in the US you get huge in your face "hey look at me icons"
[Xperia Z General] Jonathan2677:
How did u get rid of the all steps completed notification lol
[Xperia Z General] bane126:
So let me see if I understand this....you can flash either a 6602 or 6003 ROM on the 6606 and LTE will work? Okay, I flashed a 6602 ROM but I don't use the LTE much BUT if I want to use LTE I have to flash the 6003 ROM? Is there anyway to turn on/off LTE on a 6602 ROM?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z General] Jonathan2677:
Let will work on either because u have the hardware but if you want to be able to toggle it off go with the 6603 ftf because it won't have it in settings on the 6602 ftf

Update from mixed opinions I'd have to say I can only confirm lte in 6603 roms many say you get iron 6602 some say not but I can only confirm 6606 flashed with 6603 retains lte:)
[Xperia Z General] TEKWRX:
I flashed unbranded nordic 6603 rom on my 6606, and I lost the LTE icon in the status bar. Now sometimes its says 4G or H+. Am I still getting LTE? My APN is epc.tmobile.com. Do I need to change any APN settings to get true LTE with T-Mobile USA? Is the lack of an LTE icon brvause of the ROM?

[Xperia Z General] Jonathan2677:
Yes you still get lte,I live where there's lte only in areas and I did a test while holding both my one and xz when I'm at home it says 4g on my one and h+ on my xz when I go to work it says lte on my one and 4g on my xz and there speeds match there for we are just getting a 4g when in true lte and the h when in hspa which is right instead of t-mobile calling hspa 4g anyways

Yeah I see on the site it supposed to have it I don't know,I mean software don't take away bands I'm not sure if it just don't show it or if it's really gone but I get hspa,and lte full strong signal I did alto of testing the last two days not sure about that band though I know everyone who uses a 6603 Rom on a 6606 has not had any prob yet

Yeah band 4 is def important to t-mobile lte not to familiar with att

Well it worked for the Canadians the got lte working on the xperia z after flashing some bands.
[Xperia Z General] Jonathan2677:
Yeah but there 6603 had the band 7 in there hardware they just flashed software to use it that's why it don't work on the 6602 I don't think it has the band

Yeah. Oh well it is all good. Maybe someone wants to trade. Lol it is all good.

So what do I need to flash on my c6602 to get all that goodness??? I'm currently in Florida on T-Mobile and this is my max with this APN this is with other APN
[Xperia Z General] diopskill:
Under apn names, just change the "epc" to "fast". so it should say fast.tmobile.com
[Xperia Z General] nbell13:
From my understanding, for LTE to work on 6602 ftf's, you have to select to exclude the baseband while flashing with flashtool and then manually enter the fast.t-mobile.com apn. Otherwise you're just getting HSPA+42 speeds. LTE upload speeds are always over 6 Mbps, and I can usually pull 23 down, 10 up in KC area with good signal.
[Xperia Z General] chiikko561:
I'm sorry I have never had to do anything with ftf so how would I leave out baseband??? And thank you
[Xperia Z General] nbell13:
It's an option in the flashtool program, you just check the box next to "baseband" in the exclude area.

Flashed this to C6602...

Hello. I was experimenting around with some ftf's and I came across this and flashed it to my C6602. Everything is working great except for the fact that the phone won't read my sim card(read it while I flashed a C6603 ftf to it. I've been using that for the past month) and the wifi won't work. I didn't check to exclude anything when flashing the file, so my question is, what can I do to get this working on my c6602? Or is it a lost cause?

I think there is a xposed module for that... Install the app and look for the index thread (y)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EtherealRemnant:
So roommate got a One, I got an S4... We both hated Sense immediately, my screen is better, and he didn't get an LTE signal and I got this:

Yeah I wanted to wait for a Snapdragon 800 but this the fastest device ever used by FAR and it doesn't overheat unlike my S3

So I finally came to the dark side. Now I need to get off my lazy ass and root it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jodvova:
Mine S3 never overheated. You must have got a faulty device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EtherealRemnant:
It was a T999 with an MSM8260A. If mine was faulty then so was my roommate's and everyone else who had the Tmo version. The 8260A was a rehash of the Snapdragon 3. The exact reason why we couldn't get LTE and why all S3 variants outperform the T999.

Every other variant has an MSM8960 which is a true Snapdragon 4.

Either way, the upload is faster than anything we can get on a hard line for the same price - and we are still soft launched in Denver. And yes, my phone just got hot running the full GFXBench suite but nowhere near as toasty as my S3 got.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EtherealRemnant:
And its already cooled down. It was like 30 seconds to start cooling down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hellstyrant:
The T999 does tend to get a bit warm in my observation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EtherealRemnant:
Little bit? I had a case on it. I couldn't imagine if it was naked lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jodvova:
I had an international version which is Exynos based I guess.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rans0m00:
So I have a question... I keep seeing speed tests posted for the phones and unless its abnormally slow does it really matter anymore? I mean anything over 1000kB should be good enough for anything going on with your phone (unless you tether). Good to know about the s3 and possible heat issue though.... was giving a little thought to having one of those for my beater phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EtherealRemnant:
To answer your question... I haven't turned WiFi on since I saw 20 down and 20 up with latency VERY close to my home Comcast connection... While I have 50/10, uploading a 1080p video in half the time? And with LTe only at 10Mhz here?

Sorry but I was in the "its not worth it" camp... But even with such a low signal strength and bandwidth allocation? T-Mobile has 40MHz of AWS in Denver... I blow the living crap out of at&t and Verizon... Hell we can't even get Verizon LTE here and I'm across the street and two blocks down from the state Capitol!

Yes, its worth it. Besides the phone itself with a whole other story. Stock:

This one is only 2 threads:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EtherealRemnant:
So I will admit... It totally rebooted. But... That's stock. So here are the other images...

Then there's this... Dunno about y'all but here in Denver this is when people are being forced into cabs and sent home...

*sigh* finally, the least reliable...

So there are plenty of reasons to get an S4 than LTe... By the way, even the HSPA is better. I can use my phone in the bathroom now...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] se1000:
This is not correct. The original T999 had the MSM8960A SOC, exactly the same as the normal MSM8960 except for LTE radios.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EtherealRemnant:
This has been confirmed time and time again to be false on the T999 forum to be false and I won't get into it again. If you want to read through the pages upon pages of argument about it, go read the LTE threads on that forum. It was an MSM8260A chip that was used with an MSM8960 board.

Radios can be reprogrammed. T-Mobile proved this by having an internal radio set that they used to test AWS LTE on the I-747. It was leaked by an employee and enabled at&t S3s to get AWS HSPA+ that was otherwise disabled. Those using that image are also picking up AWS LTE now. Another example is being able to enable AWS LTE on the Nexus 4. There are other examples.

This isn't Texas Instruments we are talking about with encrypted radio images so complex that the Droid RAZR MAXX and Droid 4 will never be unlocked even on a carrier level because they are hard, not software coded.

There is no MSM8960A. All other variants had the MSM8960 and T-Mobile ripped off their customers. You are probably thinking about the 600 series APQ8064T that S4s have that have a higher binning than their APQ8064 counterparts which explains the slower clock speed of the HTC One which actually has better cooling capability than the S4 by design.

Once again, I am dropping the issue. Feel free to do your own research and by all means if you can prove me wrong, by all means do.

You are correct that the T-Mobile version did not have the MDM9x15 needed to get LTE but T-Mobile went further and saved money by using a processor that could not support LTE because it was not designed to connect to an external LTE modem.
