Are we able to flash att s4 roms, verizon, and sprint roms? Or just tmobile roms and i9505?
Pretty much anything based off i9505 hardware. Just make sure to grab a T-Mobile kernel in the t-mob original dev forum. Make sure you're getting just the rom and not the modem with (unlikely, just avoid odin files).

They are based on i9505 (Snapdragon SoCs), so yes

Yes u can flash any S4 or should i say most of S4 roms in to T-mobile s4. [ I flashed international S4 ROM in to my s4 its working fine smooth ]
All u have to do is flash T-Mobile M919 comparable kernel after ROM flash and u are good.
Leave Odin files alone unless they are specifically meant for the M919... leave ALL ROMs alone if they are for i9500. All other S4 variants (including i9505) are perfectly fine as long as a T-Mobile kernel is used.

Just make sure they're not i9500 based roms!

I am seriously thinking of getting a M919 but I really hate the slow fw update from carrier.
Does anyone know if I9505 FW will work on M919?
Since the hardware is basically the same, I am thinking if I can just extract the system.img from I9505 and wrap it into the M919 FW. Thanks.
I'm wondering this as well, assuming that the modem and is not flashed.

Exactly. Don't flash the modem or you will end up with a baseband unknown/IMEI = 0.

So, just don't flash the modem and the I9505 FW will work on M919?
IIRC Steve Kondik(Cyanogen)'s current personal phone is a M919 (jfltetmo), so there should be a LOT of interesting ROMs coming out shortly.

If you're only interested in official OTAs from Tmo, they will obviously take a while to trickle out.

I am interested in official international ROM but not the official carrier ROM as the international ROM always gets the most updates. So I am looking for a easy port of I9505 FW to M919 since most of the hardware of both devices are the same.

I9505 Rom tested & working for M919 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291523
This is awesome. So this means that if I buy a tmobile GS4 any roms from the international i9505 work for the tmobile version? Since it is the same phone hardware. So this means that when samsung updates the international s4 i9505 we can have those updates too for our tmobile gs4 am i correct? in a custom rom of course you dont want to flash a none tmobile modem... But like on my GS3, the international already have roms from the leak 4.2.2 and due difference in the hardware we cant port those roms but in this case with the GS4 we can...
Am I correct?

So, basically I just grab the I9505 FW from Sammobile, remove the modem inside and everything will be good to go?
That will be great to hear!
I extracted the I9505 FW tar and saw some files I cannot recognized. Does anyone know what those files are? Should I flash those or leave them? Thanks.

depends on how you're trying to go about this. are you trying to build an actual ROM for recovery or TAR for Odin? i'm assuming you're trying to make a ROM. you need just the system.img from that. then pull our cache.img for the csc stuff so you have a signal, etc. then pick a boot.img either from the i9505 FW or from the T-Mob FW. just remember to also grab the respective modules. this is all i've needed to build a full working ROM.

NON-HLOS is another modem file. i believe modem.bin is for standard GSM. NON-HLOS.bin i believe is for LTE. regardless, don't grab either of them from the i9505 FW as they are def modem (Baseband) parts. not sure what tz.mbn is nor aboot.mbn but you don't need them. again you just specifically need system.img components from i9505. you could essentially just pull that and use everything else from T-Mob FW and it will work.

So, following files from I9505 FW
1. system.img.ext4
2. cache.img.ext4
3. hidden.img.ext4
4. boot.img (if i want international kernel)
5. recovery.img (will international recovery work on M919?)
Plus all other files from M919 FW?
Thanks for the help!

Cool but my point is that all quadcore S4 are the same hardware not the octa cored.. You know samsung updates their international ship first ad there here we have to wait for the carrier.
in this case we dont no more because we can just grab an i9505 rom from their leak updates.
So this phone is really a worldwide phone same hardware. not the octa cored.
People have been saying that this phone is not really that much of an upgrade from the S3 in this case I think it is. It doesnt matter if tmobile takes a while on releasing the newest update you can still get it from any other quadcored phone thats have it..

I get where you're coming from. I've been flashing the different variants of ROMs since I got the phone. It is definitely beneficial to have so many phones with the same hardware in the development aspect.

Are there any developers for this phone currently working on a MIUI rom? if not, I will look forward to it.

Here is a link to the MIUI 9505 custom rom.
It will work excellent on Tmobile M919 Galaxy S4.
The only thing which will be missing is the wifi-calling option which only tmobile touchwiz stock based custom roms have.

"Note: if you have another snapdragon based galaxy S4 variant, you must copy libril.so and libril-qc-qmi-1.so from a working rom to /system/lib/"
What rom do i find it from? any? In that case, couldnt i just use my stock files for those?

If your phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 M919 then you do not need to copy those files at all unless
your phone is some other variant of the Galaxy S4 phone.
If your phone is NOT a M919 S4 then copy those 2 files from any cwm/twrp flashable custom rom zip files.
The stock files are not deodexed and most likely will not work.
If your phone is a Tmobile M919 S4 you should have nothing to worry about, just follow the instructions in
the MIUI thread.
Good luck!

If it's working properly with the kernel it came with perhaps its best to leave it alone.
But if you have a special MIUI kernel you would like to flash that's ok too just be sure
to make a nandroid backup of your rom first.
Good luck!

What is the proper porting?
Most at&t roms work on the n7105. Both dn3 and sky note work perfectly. Jedi in the tmobile thread also works. Any n7100 rom will result in the loss of baseband. Your phone will work but you will be left with essentially a 5 inch wifi tablet

proper porting... means you have to recode the ROM, and put back your LTE device baseband, modem+csc, partition.
sawdoctor is correct, you will just have a wifi phablet if you force to flash N7100 over to LTE devices.

T-mobile rom in general work GREAT doing nothing else. I tested few of them and all works, I was force to flush the wi/bt/nfc fix when I used the international version. Also after install the fix, you must install compulsion kernel in order to NFC work
