Guide: Flashing Verizon/AT&T Roms(List of Confirmed Roms)

Hey guys I just thought I would share that I have successfully flashed both AT&T Rom along with a Verizon Rom (JellyBeans 9). I know the AT&T one is a little more known however I couldnt find one to do with Verizon. So all you have to do is download the Rom of your choice and flash it, then you have to flash the Tmobile Modem and you should be set to go! Hope this helps some people as I contemplated flashing a Verizon Rom on my Note 2. I have also tried International Roms with no luck sadly. This is a community based thread and I couldnt do it without some of the help from you guys, everyone deserves the "Thanks" I get!
Find stock Modem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380
Caution: This is not an official guide its just something I have found after flashing some ROMs I personally THINK MAJORITY of the ROMs should work but I take no responsibility for bricks.
I am going to start a list of Confirmed Roms if you have a Rom from a different carrier then please tell me and I will update the list, Thanks!

Yes it works I started a thread about this a week ago in general forum. Flash rom then kernel and modem for tmobile. If you download a rom that doesn't give you data, once you flash rom and its booted up, turn on wifi and go to market to download hiapn and itll help restore apn settings giving you data again. Every rom ive tried has workes. Verizon, tmobile, sprint, and at&t.

Sorry I just want to make sure I understand this. So we download any kernel for the t-mobile note 2 and the modem. Then download an AT&T rom and flash it with the kernel and modem?

No need. The kernel goes with the ROM.
All you should need is the modem.

Yeah no need to flash a different Kernel.

Re: Guide: Flashing Verizon/AT&T Roms
And what benefit do we get from doing this over a T-mobile ROM? Will Wi-Fi/usb tethering work?

Well say you see a cool ROM in the Verizon section but its unavailable for T Mobile. You can use this process to flash that much wanted ROM to your phone.

Anytime Glad I could help!

This is frgin awesome news. I wondered if this was possible but was to afraid to try and didnt want to ask. Thanks. Soo just to be sure you can flash "any" verizon or att note 2 rom. Just as long as you flash the tmobile modem and you will be set? No brick and no problems? Of course except known issues?

I tried jelly beans rom which was pretty good just didn't like battery life. I'm now on a AT&T ROM right now which is cleanrom I'm staying on this one for awhile.

Just wanted to say you really shouldn't even need to flash a modem unless the rom your wanting to flash contains a modem. If the rom contains a modem then you'll need to flash a T-Mobile modem otherwise you will still have the same modem you had before flashing.

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

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.

[Q] Question about firmware

Hi, this is my first post here and I've done some searching and I've got confused with the firmware names between stock and original.
Currently I have a T-mobile 4.1.1 baseband T889UVALL4 with T-mobile firmware.
What I am trying to understand and do is change from t-mobile firmware as it has t-mobile apps to a samsung firmware and their apps /non t-mobile apps.
Is this something possible? Where can I find these firmwares and what is the latest version?
Thanks & regards

First off welcome..Why dont u give tweaked a try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2242972 Its the only rom I use on my phone.. You have the ability on install to choose the amount of bloat u want and it's super customizable....... as for the international roms be mindful they don't have wifi calling

Look up teshxx in the development section he has stock samsung roms. Keep scrolling the different roms til you find the latest updated one, cause he have quite a few posted. If you ever want to try a custom rom, try Jedi x14 by ptmr3 which is great.

Hi deeznutz1977 thanks for your help.
From what I could read, a ROM is something you put on top of the firmware.
Is there anyway to put a Samsung firmware from scratch without those T-Mobile brand on the SGH-T889?
So it would be a brand new firmware, no ROMS or t-mobile apps.
Thanks for you help and patience.

Official 4.4.2 ROM from Samsung - i9505 (Snapdragon 600)

I am one of those who are looking forward to get "Official Samsung" ROM on my M919 ASAP.
It is not that I don't like custom ROM's. I have had car bluetooth issues with custom Kitkat. Also I use S-View a lot....something that is not possible out of box in Custom Kitkat.
I found a 4.4.2 Official ROM has been released in Europe for snapdragon 600 processors (i9505)
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/install-of...t-update-galaxy-s4-lte-snapdragon-600-1437696
I never developed Custom ROM's before. My experience stays with flashing ROM's.
Would appreciate any tips or help to install a official samsung 4.4.2 on my T-Mobile M919.
I just can't wait few more weeks for a official ROM from T-Mobile. I think I can, because I got you guys
Thanks, Ari

Hammer coming down in 3....2....1....

You should lurk in the 9505 forums. Devs there should have one available soon. Usually can be flashed fight to our phones once they make it a flashable zip

Looks like you have a custom Kernel on your M919. Let me know what it is. Can it be used in 4.4.2?

If anyone flashes Goldeneye, would you kindly post your experience. Does it work? Your specific steps to get it working? I don't use Bluetooth, but my issue is the camcorder performance on non Touchwiz roms. I think this thread will probably be moved to Q&A so I'll check back there. Wish there were a thread over there dealing with flashing other carriers' roms. I'd try it if I knew it worked out well for others.

Yes, I've read that guide before but somehow it seems vague. It doesn't specify the Rom version tested, the exact kernel tested, and the info might be outdated. The link to Goldeneye for the T-Mobile S4 is a link to a closed thread that apparently used to be on the T-Mobile GS4 Android Development forum. But thanks anyway :good:

Ok OP, I looked everywhere, where is the link to your ROM!?

I would think you would need their bootloader to run any of these roms. I hope I am wrong but I will wait for someone to try it first.

[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...

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.
