Haha, my warranty is nonexistent as I bought the phone outright from swappa and am now on T-Mobile. I understand the gist of what having the MDK bootloader means along with how great it is to have the exploit djrbliss made available to us. Just never knew that bootloaders weren't attached to ROMs lol, but now I know. Again, many thanks for giving this noob some much needed insight :D.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
I am by no means a developer, I am just a dumb ass who stumbled onto something that works for me through trial and error and listening to other dumb asses who tried stuff on their phones, and I was hoping it would work for others. Test it, don't test it, what ever.

To be honest I have no idea what a boot loader is, I know what boot loader I am on and I know that some smart guy exploited it to allow us to replace the software with something some other smart guy came up with. I know that the newer ones haven't been exploited like mine and that's why they can't do as much as MDK guys can. Hell I don't even really know what safestrap does but from my razr days I know it allows people to install different ROMs.

Bottom line, I am just a guy using other peoples work to try to help some other people not "error" as much as I have and enjoy their device a little bit more...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] willstilson:
I'm running on TMobile. I actually have been since we first started discussing the 4.4 TW roms on the i545. I've had no issues and didn't have to enter any APN settings.

The ROMs we are flashing, Goldeneye for instance, do not include the bootloader. If we were flashing Samsung images then bootloaders and modems would probably be included, and would probably brick the phone since we'd be flashing incorrect sw. That said, as long as you are on the MDK bootloader, exploited by Loki, and running a custom recovery, then following the steps in the OP should work for you. If you get stuck in a bootloop, it's probably a kernel error. Loki-doki should solve that for you. If not, that's why you have your Nandroid back right ;)

FYI guys, I just flashed ktoonez Touchwiz Kit Kat Kernel. I took it from the Tmobile thread since there isn't a Verizon one yet. You need to flash loki-doki after flashing this kernel. So far no issues. I'll report back if I find any issues.

Seems to be working for me...

I am using a t-mobile SIM and am still on MDK. I followed the instructions in the OP, and the phone appears to be working. No other mods, themes, etc. other than the OP. SMS, MMS, Data all appear to work. Speeds seem consistent with LTE, but no way to know.

On initial boot, however, I always get this message: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". However, after accepting the message, the phone appears to work normally. It may have something to do with the dark dialer theme that appears to be part of this ROM. I have seen that message before...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] willstilson:
If it says 4G at the top, it's LTE. If it says H or H+, it's HSPA/3G.

About the force close, did you wipe before you flashed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 65vdub:
+1 everything working well on my end here as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
I havent seen the FC issue with the ,phone before. I wipe 3 times before flashing anything, just to be sure there is nothing left. I am just shooting in the dark here but maybe you had a file or 2 left over after wiping?

As far as the 4g/LTE You can check in your about phone and it will tell you if you are on an LTE band or now. But from my experience 4g means LTE with this ROM.

There are a bunch of mods and themes that work also. I am running a black out theme I found in the i9505 forums with gravity box and wanam kit's Xposed module so theming doable. I also ran a "desamsunganizer" from the forum also that really cleaned up a lot of crap including almost all ringtones and notifications.

Are you going to stick with this build for a few days? I am wondering about stability now. I was 4 days in before I saw my first random reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] maxyoda:
I did wipe before installing as I was on a 4.3 rom prior to trying this one. I may try a fresh flash again, but I need to wait until I have an hour or two to spare...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
Good to hear

No issues with KT Kernel? and all the usual Kernel Tweaks work and does it have the KT Tweaker app?

No worries, no one is on a time line. I only brought up wiping and residual files because a lot of issues I have found while ROM hopping usually are fixed with a rewipe and a reflash.

I am debating backing up my current config. and trying out another i9505 ROM, I tried CarHD in the beginning and got bootloops but that could have been a fluke. Has anyone else tried a ROM other than GoldenEye? I know other guys in jrkruzes thread have tried with limited success but we have a little different set up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] willstilson:
So far KT kernel is working well and noticeably smoother. Ktweaker is included. I used his settings and it feels smooth and has been stable all day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
Just flashed it, and am watching it boot now.

Did you use the in app download for koonts settings or did you just copy his from his post?

**Edit**

I cannot access the downloadable profiles. Also my settings wont stick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
**Edit #2**

With Koontz kernel installed I lost half my apps and my /0/legacy/emulated drive is gone... and silly me, I didn't make a back up

**Edit #3** After wiping everything and reinstalling the ROM I reinstalled KT and flashed the Loki and everything works fine now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] willstilson:
Yikes, that sounds scary. Did you figure out what caused that?

Also, I copied the settings manually, I didn't download profiles.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] orateam:
This is a slight divergence from the topic.

We have a MIUI ROM thread going on and got MIUI running flawlessly. Last night my son put his T-mobile card in this ROM and was able to use my Verizon phone to make phone calls, use 3g through LTE. Not sure how or why, but all he did was use the MIUI *#*#4636#*#* to change the phone setting to GSM/CDMA/LTE.

He's currently using it today as a T-mobile phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] maxyoda:
Working well after reinstall

After a fresh wipe and reinstall, the ROM appears to be working well (no more FC's). I tested up to 30 MBPS download speeds last night.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] preaseunderstand:
I've had my sch-i545 for about a week now. When I was in a bigger city I had 4g lte speeds with the fast.t-mobile.com apn, but now that I'm back in my hometown I only get edge speeds. I even tried changing to the epc.tmobile apn. Would changing the bootloader improve my speeds? Before my s4 I had a s2 and that was much easier to root and flash roms on. so I'm kinda new to the methods for rooting and flashing the s4. If it turns out that I'll be stuck on edge speeds I'll probably just sell my verizon s4 for the t-mobile variant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
All Verizon LTE phones released since the note 2 have been carrier unlocked. Verizon tried to be sneaky on some phones and hide the APN settings menu, but all phones with their sim swapped could work on GSM carriers. Change your APN to "fast.t-mobile.com" (minus quotes) and you might actually get LTE speeds too. Is MMS and SMS working fine for him? We have seen issues with SMS after a reboot and MMS sometimes are spotty. Verizon ROMS are set up to look for LTE first before anything else no matter what SIM and MMS doesn't like to work over LTE.

This isnt a serious super mod thread by any means, going a little off topic is good to keep the conversation going. after a few more days, I will probably put up a real post in the Dev section since it will get more views and more T-Mobile guys might get to try it out.

The point of this thread isn't hey I got T-Mobile to work on my phone, it is more of a way to optimize T-Mobile on our phones. To make flashing and setting things up just a little bit easier. And to try to make everything work 100% of the time... like MMS and SMS:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
Awesome!

What bootloader are you currently on? And what modems are you running? Even if you dont update your Bootloader through the OTA from Verizon, updating your modems from here on XDA is always a good idea.

The only way to change your bootloader is through a Verizon OTA ROM update.

Can anyone change their APN protocol on GE ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] maxyoda:
Tested mms and sms - working

I have been running the rom through its paces today. Summary: it works well. I have tested sending and receiving MMS, SMS, telephony and data. When making a phone call, the data drops down to 3G (indicated by an H or H+ icon), but I think that is normal behavior.

I have tried other ROMS with t-mobile before but had a lot of trouble with SMS and MMS.

(The phone being used for testing is a Verizon S4 still on MDK bootloader with TWRP 2.6.3.1 recovery)

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------

Any ideas about what makes this one work? Is it the apns-conf.xml file included in this ROM, or some other magic?

MaxYoda
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] preaseunderstand:
I have mk2 right now. From what I've read it seems like I could be ****ed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
I have had zero issues with MMS and SMS also.

I think it is the apns file. I posted the file from this rom in the other forum post that wasn't directly pointed towards Tmobile guys and jrkruze found his Verizon fix by editing the apns file. I have looked through it and it has about every GSM network already in there. This is all assumption but it makes sense. But then again it could be some dark voodoo stuff the ROM DEV chanted uploading it. :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
If you are on the MK2 boot, then you cant loki so I believe you indeed are ****ed. You being "new" to this I am going to ask the obvious questions.

Are you on MK2 modems or bootloader, there is a difference

Are you currently running safestrap or do you have a recovery installed?

Have you tried to change from Global to GSM turning on airplane mode on then off (waiting a minute between on and off) then going back into Global? I was having issues myself with a few Verizon based ROMS and data so I would sit in GSM unless I was torrenting or watching netflix, then I would go into Global for the speed.

Does your town actually have HWS available in the upper 700 band? (not AT&T LTE but Verizon LTE)

I am MDK with the MK2 modem, and I have great service in most areas with this ROM set up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] preaseunderstand:
I believe I have both the mk2 bootloader and modem. I've tried switching to different network types and apns, with no luck. I'm not sure about the 700 band thing. I'm considering just selling my i545 on ebay and using the money to buy the tmobile model or international model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justda:
I have been debating that since I left Verizon, but I keep finding ways to keep using my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] willstilson:
If you're on MK2 modem and Bootloader you should be able to stick a Tmobile sim in there and switch the phone to Global mode. That should get you LTE. I've done it with my sister's totally stock i545. I didn't even need to mess with APN
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] preaseunderstand:
I live in Washington. I went to spokane last weekend and was able to get 4g lte there with my i545 on global mode. But now that I'm back in my hometown I only get edge, I used to get hspa+ here on my old phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] willstilson:
That means you're in an area where TMobile has not yet refarmed HSPA+ to the 1900Mhz PCS band. The i545 has access to the AWS (1700Mhz/2100Mhz) spectrum for LTE, but it cannot access it on the PCS side. I believe the HTC One GPe operates the same way. See the article below. TMobile runs HSPA on the AWS spectrum, except in places where it has been refarmed to 1900Mhz.

Essentially, the i545 will only pickup TMobile's HSPA when it's on 1900Mhz. Since their HSPA network is on the AWS band in most places, you won't be able to get onto that network without a capable device. Here in NYC, the HSPA network has been refarmed to their 1900Mhz band, which the i545 is capable of accessing.

[HTC One X] msi4mahesh:
Hello,

I am using a HTC one x unbranded. I have recently removed the back cover just to look inside(i know i am stupid, Shouldn't have done that).

But anyway after placing the back cover safely and cautiously i can't seem to get my sim card registered (which i used before perfectly in this phone ) due to poor reception in my opinion.

The other thing is when i go to the city where the network tower is located my phone seem to be working fine. better reception.

I have tried many things. I looked inside the phone again to make sure i haven't damaged anything and also tried a different sim card and i did reset the phone as well. Nothing seemed to help me so far.

Any suggestions will be highly appreciated

Thank you

Hi,

is there a way to really ignore a call instead of hanging it up when pressing "Ignore"? From my view ignoring a call would mean just to stop the ringing... My old Nokia therefor had a "ignore" and a "deny" Button, the Wizard always seems to "deny"...

Yes, I found this by accident. If you push the volume slider up or down when the phone is ringing, it stops ringing and vibrating, which I guess this is what you're looking for. I found this because to silence my old Sony Ericssons you push the volume switch and lo and behold, this is the same :)

GPSD wakelock won't let my phone enter deep sleep even a second!!!

Problem started when I make a full wipe on wanamlite android 4.3 with perseus17 kernel and flashed omega android 4.4 rom with perseus 18 kernel. Now I'm back to 4.3 but gpsd wakelock still there.

Here's what I have tried

1.flash wanamlite 4.4 rom with stock repacked kernel with full wipe

2.flash wanamlite 4.4 rom with perseus 18 kernel with full wipe

3.flash hassan android 4.4 rom with full wipe with perseus18 kernel

4.Flash phoenix rom android 4.3 (rom come with perseus kernel) with full wipe with mk9 modem.

5.flash wanamlite android 4.3 rom with full wipe with perseus 17 kernel

6.flash wanamlite android 4.3 rom with full wipe with adam kernel (come with rom)

After flash rom with full wipe the problem had gone for a day and came back the next day.

I use bbs to see wakelock.

I have already turned off the gps and location service in setting.

Edit: Problem solved. The root of problem seem to be from 3G signal from my network operators in my country (AIS)(A lot of people in my country also facing the same problem) and they have already fixed it today.

let your phone stabilize for some more time because after a full install everything have to settle and the applications find their steps.

Hey, do you have a bit more information about what exactly in your network operator causes this to happen? I had the same problem (infinite GPSD wakelock) for ages here in Venezuela, yet whenever I traveled abroad, the wakelock didn't show up, so I assume it's my network operator as well. Is it something only the operator can fix or is it like Fast Dormancy where you can toggle it on your phone? The drain is so bad the only solution that worked for me was crippling the GPS by renaming the gpsd file :rolleyes:
