You should be able to flash Any ROM just back up or APN settings and do some reading on the different radio files and I believed u will be fime

i have my t-mobile t999 gs3 and i know what i can flash but this is new to me Claro was using the international version first but now they have LTE and changed the model to i747m,i think this version is not the same as the at&t version so i dont know if the roms are compatible and dont want to risk a brick.

All ROMs in this forum are compatible with your s3.

I did a nandroid back up and flashed a t-mobile rom and it worked. I didn't get to see if everything worked on the rom because I restored my nandroid before I got to test it.

Yeah. We can flash M919 and i9505 roms on our M919V variant GS4s.

You can flash other roms on both versions M919V and M919. Just use your kernel for YOUR device.
Time to update my guide.

Hi
I have a question regarding M919 vs M919V
I have been having troubles installing roms with my M919V and i was wondering if it would be OK to flash the T-Mobile stock rom on my Samsung S4 M919V ?

yes, after you flash the stock rom, before you boot make sure you use the KERNEL provided for your device.
It will work.

I have downloaded the T-Mobile Rom. I need as well the kernel for my device ? where can i get the T-Mobile kernel ? What if i want to switch back to M919V kernel where can i find that one ? After i flash the t-mobile rom+kernel , i should be able to flash the T-Mobile Roms ( wicked, infamous etc.) ?
Thanks for your help.

I have a question regarding my SGH-M919V as well. After I upgraded to 5.0.1 I haven't been able to turn on my WiFi or Bluetooth. I'm brand new to rooting and flashing and am just starting to understand the difference between bootloaders and modems and roms and all that. Well, my question is how can I fix my WiFi? I've read a ton of forums where people have similar issues and there are fixes, but often for the american Galaxy S4 (as far as I understand it). Should I downgrade to 4.2.2 to fix WiFi? Is there a kernel I can install that will fix it?
Thanks in advance, I appreciate anyone who respond's patience,

Based on my research, that's a Canadian S4. They're intended for a subset of Canadian mobile providers: in this case, Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron, and Eastlink. There is also an SGH-I337M (this time a variant on the AT&T version) intended for use with Rogers, Telus, and Bell.

T999 or t999L Roms for my new lte Metro s3

First off I own a Metro t999N
Its GSM and uses lte data from T-Mobile towers... we all know that
We all know that they use tmo Lte towers and this device is a lte model.. that's clear.
Everyone flashes T-Mobile roms on the metro s3 and Metro s4 with no issues .... but I know with past experience owning a t999L you had to stick to the Lte model Roms the t999 roms wont flash on a lte device.
There wasn't any info I could find about my t999n as to if we use t999 or t999L based roms on the New metro GSM Lte s3
I'm assuming it would be the t999l roms and generally I don't ask such a basic question...but I couldn't find a straight Google answer
But I know from past better safe to ask.

There are no T999 l/n/v ROMs. It's all T999. You guys just have separate firmware (bootloader, baseband, etc). That firmware is in the linked thread.
If the ROMs aren't flashing for you, it's probably because you're using TWRP for the T999 l/n/v, or whatever is out there. You need to use the original T999 recoveries to flash T999 ROMs.
Does that answer your questions?

Yup, it's all stated in the thread. I believe the recovery to use is covered in the faq, as well as anything else to look out for. You did read all OP's in their entirety, didn't you?

Just got this T999L the other day, now using the 999N modem and have flashed several ROMs with no problem. So I'm sure you'll be able to do the same.

I was just unclear and yes I've read a lot, haven't flashed one t999 rom yet on my t999N
But guess now ill try I am using the cwm recovery flashed from rom manager for the original t999 for metro, as that's the only available in rom manager seems to work since I made a nandroid with it
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda app-developers app

Don't install recovery using Rom or goo manager. Sure it'll work on your device, but many of the roms here are coded to check the device and/or recovery. Since none of the devs knew to add yours, most didn't, so even though the Rom would work, it won't flash unless you have the d2tmo recovery.
If you have further questions about it, may I suggest asking in that thread? That way others who might search for similar info can find everything in one place.

I think I'm pretty certain about this
Cause I flashed a rom and only have edge data
Is it also necessary to flash the mb7 lte kernel+modules zip in your links on top of a or any t999 roms in order to get Lte data on my t999n

If you are stuck on Edge, then check your imei. Don't post it, just tell me if it's zero.
Depending on the Rom, it's not going to always display what you expect. This should also be covered in the faq, Ali g with how to tell your true connection

[Q] SGH i317 recomended modem?

Good afternoon
After working on the phone all day trying to figure out how to unlock i manage to do it flashing a roger 4.1.1 modem. The issue now is that i forgot to backup the 4.1.2 and don't know where to look for it or if i should update to a better modem if there is one better than the 4.1.2. Currently on Clean rom 5 is that matters. Thanks in advance.

You can choose from the modem list in my thread one stop. You can try the MK4, but the latest is the MK6 and those are both for AT&T btw...

Thanks for the fast reply, the one i installed was ROGERS_MODEM_I317MVLALJ2 just so i could unlock the network of the phone,i ask cause mk6 seems alot different from i317MVLALJ2.

Ok i tried the MK6 but the phone was rebooting after a few minutes so i had to re flashed the rogers j2 modem back....
This SGH i317m is from a company named Claro, is there any other detail i can provide to improve the chances of finding the right modem for my phone? i haven't tested the phone on the 4.1.1 modem yet, current version is 4.1.2.

So far i tested the phone which is a Claro note2 with the new radio modem and seems fine for the moment, i hope it works better with net10 when i move to the states. I let you know i find something bad. Thanks a lot for help.

Ok for some reason, my SGH I317 passed to be a GT N7105 as model number, is that normal when flashing radio/modem? Will it affect the phone?

That's because you flashed a Rom which changed it to that. You know the model of your device, so you use the correct modem according to you device model. And everything will be OK..[emoji106][emoji41]

Hello Bajanman,
I am also facing the exact same issue that you are solving out here, I am using at&t galaxy note 2 sgh-I317,
I flashed DN4 rom into my device, i got it all up and running. But now I am facing issues with network reception and my device also does not allows me enable "wcdma only" network mode. Is that an issue with my modem? kindly advise on this.

ROM/Radio for unlocked T-mobile s4?

Hello,
Recently my friend gave me a T-mobile S4 which I successfully unlock using this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283068 )method. I aslo was able to install Chaos (universal) ROM and seems to be working fine, but I have a few questions.
Can I install an ATT ROM/Radio or I need to stick to universal ROMs?
Can I lose unlock status if I upgrade the radio?
TIA!

Anyone?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

I've never tried ATT ROMs and haven't seen much mention of them in this forum, but I know i9505 ROMs usually work if the developer hasn't put specific device checks in the updater-script. I would guess ATT ROMs will work as well. You may need to flash a T-Mobile kernel though. Radios that are not specific to your device should not be flashed.

Why would you want an ATT Rom or radio? The Tmobile radio package supports more frequencies than the AT&T version. I am currently using my M919 on an AT&T mvno and my girlfriend has the I337 (AT&T S4) so Ive switched sims around on both and could find no significant difference.
