[Q] Porting i9505 roms to T-mobile - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I wonder if its easy or hard for a beginner, can i just update the build.prop and some lib files or is the modem/baseband not going to work?

Here is a list of tested working Roms. It's listed in Rootzwiki, but all the Roms listed are from here. They say after we flash one of the Roms, we have to flash a kernel for our device. They give links to supported kernels as well.

The Galaxy S4 i9505 roms do not need or require porting, they will work with the Tmobile M919 S4 locked or unlocked phones
by simply flashing any i9505 rom using the cwm/twrp well established flashing methods like any other cwm/twrp flashable rom..
(please note: if you do flash any i9505 rom you will no longer have the benefit of wifi calling)

Do we than have to flash the kernel afterwards?

Flashing a different kernel is optional, the i9505 cwm/twrp flashable roms
will work with the M919 phones with the existing kernel they come with.

Wow! Thank you so much guys. I just saw your posts after i used a port guide and did 30 min of stuff lol. At least i learned something
Also, just flashed Omega i9505 V5. Wifi doesn't work ! Edit: You have to install a M919 kernel for it to work. Great! Best rom i've ever used now!

[Q] Do I have LJC?

I am interested in getting all the apps into multi window. The FAQ linked me to this thread. The first instruction is to odin into LJC, which I think is the stock ROM. I still have the same ROM which came with my phone, but I have rooted using the Note II toolkit. I see LK8 and LJC on the forums all the time, but I don't understand the differences and why I have to use certain ones for certain things. I found this thread which did not explain much. Basically, I don't know what ROM I have. The end goal of the first thread I linked is to get the LK8 ROM on my phone. Is that basically a stock ROM?
Notes:
Android V 4.1.2
U can find out by going to settings, about phone and look at your build number. That is what rom u are on. The phone shipped with lj1 and then the ota was ljc and the most recent ota is ma7. Lk8 was just a leak. If u want all the apps in multi windows mod u have to be on a deodexed rom. If you are completely stock then u are not and cannot flash tje mod until you are.
Best thing for u to do is flash tje deodexed rom on this page

I have LJ1. Would I download the older version, and I'm assuming I do this in TWRP right?
---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------
Never mind. Now I can finally flash roms.
Thank you very much for your help. I've found that I'm on MA7. There are 6 different downloads. I understand the difference in the first two downloads–
odexed vs deadened. But what are the other four downloads? Is there one most appropriate for me?
Thanks

The third link is the all in one that is the ma7 modem and other components of ma7. The 4 link is just the modem itself and the last 2 are kernels. If u took the ota to ma7 then no u don't need any of the modem or other components. If u want the all apps for multi windows u will have to flash the second link that is the ma7 deodexed rom. U have to be on a deodexed rom for the mod to work. Let me know if u have any more questions

I read I do not need to do a factory reset through TWRP (wipe->factory reset) if I am flashing a customized stock ROM. Is that true?
And if everything needs to be completely stock, do I need to un-root?

A few questions pertaining to T-Mobile S3 on AT&T

So I have a T-Mobile S3 that I would like to use on AT&T. I've seen a few threads that have said this was possible if I can unlock it. I haven't got the new sim for AT&T yet, but I am wanting to root the device tonight at home so I can unlock it right when I get it with Voodoo sim unlock.
I'm going to flash a rom onto it too, but I have read that it is OK to flash a ROM, but not the baseband/modem. I'm unfamiliar with T-mobile roms, so are there any roms specifically that have a new modem or baseband built into the rom?
Also, is voodoo sim unlock the best way to go? I got this device because someone I know cancelled their plan and really doubt T-mobile will give me a code for free and I don't really want to cough up money to pay to have it unlocked.
I haven't heard of anyone using voodoo.
But here's a tgread that tells you whst to do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023709
If you have a T999 model, only use T999 modems. Afaik you can flash att modems but they will not work right if at all. The only att stuff I know for sure you can use are some roms and some kernels. Most are already here in this forum, so I'd probably just use what you find here until you know more about the compatibility.

Oh, and imo, you shouldnt ever see a rom that flashes your modem. Maybe if its done with aroma and you can opt to not flash it, it eould be ok, but I just dont even see a reason for this.

I actually tried that, but I figured since I don't have the sim the option doesn't pop up after waiting 30 seconds...
Thanks for all that great info. So would I just be safe using t-mobile roms with an unlocked phone? I'm not really familiar with using unlocked phones on different carriers.
Yup that should be perfectly safe.
I do know that if your baseband is UVDMD5 you have to downgrade to LJC or below for that unlock to work.
I am not sure if it requires a T-Mobile sim or not.
Check your baseband though, and if its md5, flash another one and try again.

Thanks for all the answers doc, that clears up a lot.
Any chance you could recommend a rom that is similar to CleanROM?
Sorry, I'm not familiar with that one. Personally I stick with touchwiz roms. I just like them better and they tend to be more stable. But everyone likes something different. ...

T-Mobile doesn't have the 4.4.2 bootloader yet because we don't have an official release yet. If we had that bootloader we would friggin already have 4.4.2 lololol

For our Canadians we don't have any forum. as T-Mobile and Canadians have same LTE most of the Canadian ROM list here. Its only for Canadians as I test only on N900W8.

Why is this in our forums
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
For the people that have not been around for a while or have not been following the TMO Note 3 Dev. There is no TMO N900W8 forum.
The Canadian rom (Miscoms) has been posted here since the beginning. Which it makes sense as this is the T-MOBILE NOTE 3 FORUM.
And before somebody says Canada is not T-Mobile its Rogers, note that Rogers and TMO are Identical in bands and radio. Just one says W8 to identify it as a rogers phone. Both will work perfectly on the others networks. (Trust, we have tested this theory out extensively)
With that said.
Thank you very much for the contribution.
For the poster that asked about the bootloader. All of us that work on these roms have bricked a phone or 2 trying to figure out how to force the bootloader. The N900w8 rom, has been out for a while, BUT, you have to have the NA2 bootloader to be able to flash the rom or it will fail, or brick your phone.

Original Dev roms are reserved for people that put out original dev roms. like. AOSP, CM, IOKP, bla bla bla. Stock Roms put out by the OEM and modified go here, not in the Original development section. Modded Stock roms are not "original" developments
Hopefully that makes sense.
...is it really that deep... who cares it's a forum any additional information on similar devices is beneficial. Now back to the important topic what happens if I flashed this to my tmo note 3??

without the proper bootloader, that both 900t and 900w8 phones need. you stand to have problems. As with the N9005 roms, they all suggest having the bootloader before you start flashing the roms to insure you do not brick your phone.
I guess I'll be the adult here and say thanks. Always love new additions to the catalog of ROMs. I'm sure all the Canadian users will be happy. Doesn't matter what forum its in. I'm sure if most people read the threads they would know that the Canadian variant is pretty much the same phone.... Please read before you post.... And I don't post much I read read read.....

WoW.... I am feeling that I am a prisoner to post this ROM. Guys the common sense is this ROM is for them who are already on 4.4.2. So there is no reason that you brick your phone. If it does not suitable for your N3 you can go back to 4.3 again. Thanks

Buying new Note 10.1 p600 (wifi) 2014 edition

Hi, as the title said, my question is what is the latest firmware on the Note currently if I purchased now. Is it 4.3 with locked bootloader like the Galaxy s3 with Knox? If it's, is it possible to flash custom firmware? Thanks.
Yes it has 4.3. It has Knox bootloader as well if that matters. There is TWRP recovery, custom kernel by Bid Droid, custom ROM by Scotts ROM called Clean ROM V2 R2.

It and the older note 10.1 2012 version are both on list to get kitkat 4.4.2. ..no clue when it would drop but I'm sure Clean ROM will have it before it's out for mainstream. It's on ML1 currently

Thanks for quick reply, I thought that if it came with locked bootloader then how can we unlock? like the S3, we unable to unlock we need to use safestrap to install custom rom, is it the same case as the Note? sounds like it's not.

It's still not clear, I thought MK1 (4.3) has a locked bootloader, and no one could unlock the bootloader yet, so how can we able to flash custom rom??
I shall do my best to clarify of what I know. I have the note 10.1 2014 sm-p600, wifi only. I'm located in the US. I had android 4.3 on it. I had used Kies to update to MK1 since I had already tripped Knox and don't care. Even prior to MK1, I used Odin'd Cf - auto root, and Odin'd TWRP custom Recovery. For a long time there were nobody developing anything for the tablet. SCOTTS clean ROM undertook the task and made a custom ROM with stock kernel. Then as time progressed Bid Droid entered with a custom kernel. He also made his own rom, but I'm not sure if that is for P601 or p605 models. I refer you to the note 10.1 2014 android development thread for more detailed info. Scott was able to incorporate ML1 firmware into his ROM. Yes ML1, think it was Taiwan, wasn't released in the US but I see no problems as far as country specific or anything on a wifi only tablet. He knows what he is doing as a proven developer. If none of what I am saying makes any sense, I would advise you to look deeper in Note 10.1 2014 android develop thread. I hope this may have helped clarify. I tried to anyways.
