sorry, NOOB here.
Been doing some research here. I want to flash stock i9505 rom to my m919. From my understanding, I just need to flash the rom without the modem? If so, where can I get the file? all the stock i9505 rom files contain the modem. maybe there is a way to get rid of the modem from the file?

The CWM flashable are ok to use, just flash a T-Mobile kernel from T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4-> Android Original Development and you'll be fine. Just don't mess with the i9505's Odin stock .tar.md5's (or ANYTHING from the i9500 section); those are the ones that will contain all the good stuff to screw up our precious little phones.
Also, you must not have done much research as this subject has been covered many numerous times; not trying to be rude, just pointing it out.

actually been reading for a few days..., my conclusion was find a i9505 stock rom w/o modem but I couldn't find any.
I know about the tmobile kernel, I have that. I just couldn't find a stock i9505 rom that will work

None of the CWM flashable stock ROMs there have modems. There are modified/stock, debloated stock, and I think if you dig deep enough, there is just plain ole rooted stock; all w/o modem.
Get the omega rom and flash and flash a kernal from the tmobile so wifi can work *faux123 that im using and it for i9505 but on m919
Are there any developers for this phone currently working on a MIUI rom? if not, I will look forward to it.
It kinda sucks that MIUI being one of the most popular roms ever, isnt out yet on the galaxy s4 for t-mobile...
There a thread on the general section that show exactly hire to run MIUI ROM

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.

Thanks! How do I find these files?
"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!
Im new to this part of XDA, I just recently purchased a Galaxy S3 T999L.
Purchasing this phone, I had no idea there was a non LTE Model which leads me in a bit of confusion when looking for a custom Rom
Im no rookie when it comes to flashing. If you look Below in my sig you can see the devices I currently have and have flashed different roms many times in the past. My question is what ROMs will work with my T999L? Ive looked and to my confusion have seen more for the T999 than anything since its been around much longer.. I've been looking and the forum here is a bit fragmented and its hard to see which ROM will go to which device. Please forgive me for my ignorance, Im just trying to play catch up, and perhaps contribute in the future in some way.
Edit: Im more familiar with flashing Tablets than phones, I dont have much experience with flashing radios and other phone related stuff...Is there a Difference with T999 and T999L other than the Radio?
edit 2: No comments? I guess either i said the wrong thing, or I posted in the wrong forum..
Thank you in advance
The t-999 ROMs will work with your t-999l, except the 4.3 touchwiz ROMs for the moment. 4.3 aosp/cm/aokp is fine.. There's really not much difference between the two, except the t-999l was updated to support lte.. Do not flash a t-999 modem to your t-999l, it won't brick but it won't pick up service at all. I suggest looking at the t-999l and t-999n q&a thread for further info

I did just that.... And u didn't have to be rude about it..
Thanks for your input
Don't mean to hi-jack this thread but it kind of pertains the the question. I have the T999L as well. I've read Doc's informational thread about the T999L and T999N.
In terms of this part:
"ONLY flash T999L firmware to a T999L and T999N firmware to a T999N!!!!
If it does not match your model EXACTLY, it will almost certainly brick your device!!!"
I keep reading I can safely flash T999 roms, kernels, etc. But it's the firmware process that confuses me. Should I only stick to 4.1.2 roms (can I even flash Jamison's 4.1.1 rom for example), or can I flash a 4.3 TW rom in the future, assuming the leaked builds get LTE support when the official update comes out?
Thanks in advance.

If that's true then how come the T999L wasn't updated to 4.3 alongside the T999? The 4.1.2 software wasn't even the same. No multi-window, no Note 2 photo gallery, still rockin the old "My Files" app on the T999L 4.1.2 software.....At first I thought it was just the "LTE Radio" difference but I guess there's more to it seeing the differences in software.

Firmware refers to the files used in Odin, so for those, make sure you use the ones for your device only. You can flash any ROM, even 4.1.1 I believe.. And yes once there's a leaked 4.3 firmware for the t999l you should be able to just flash the modem and then flash a 4.3 tw ROM, based on what we experienced with the t999

Thanks a lot for this. Been bugging me for a while now. I'll probably take the plunge soon and use "The Recovery Way." Rooted my first S3 using motochopper back in June or July when I first got it, but problems arose and exchanged it at Costco (just got it and WiFi wouldn't connect after a factory reset). Been scared since lol. Also scared me that I wouldn't receive official updates anymore as it said it was modified, but that doesn't bug me anymore reading all the complaints about the whole no turning back.
Thanks again!
I'm looking into flashing a custom ROM onto my T999L for the first time as well...have any of you guys taken the plunge yet, and have any feedback on specific ROMS? I think I will try with AOKP
Sir I updated my galaxy s3 i747 with leaked firmware 4.3 with no knox.
It has unrooted my phone.
When I try to root my phone again.
I cannot root it.
And im having a battery problem.
It drains very fast.
Which ROM did you flash? You have the s3 from AT&T?

I've never seen an official AT&T stock 4.3 ROM. I know AT&T released 4.3 as an OTA update but don't think they released a full ROM.

Aren't those are re-packaged ROMs rather than being a complete 4.3 ROM similar to Rogers/Bell/Telus ROMs? To install, you have to Odin back to a stock rom or TW-based ROM.

am sure there is an official firmware from at&t and its hidden in this threads or somewhere on the net plus i was on a 4.1.2 stock, i dont like leaks just the official cleaned out so i did not have any problems with bootloaders/updating etc....... did not bother to use odin just flashed with CMW and everything worked
edit: devs need the official firmware from AT&T to work on , without it they have nothing (assuming you already know that)

AT&T did not release an official Odin tar for 4.1.2 or 4.3 it would be great if they did but they haven't and don't have any plans to do so.
Even without the tar files I think our developers have done a great job.

Agreed. The devs worked directly from the OTA. They never had the official firmware, as they all will tell you. You're not going to find it here or anywhere on the net.

I understand the devs had to re-create the ROM. My point was that these aren't stock, but they are certainly good to have around

AT&T released official for 4.1.2 , dont know what happned with 4.3 but blame Samsung cuz after 4.1.1 S3's update, updates went down from there ........4.1.2 update was great, 4.3 being a WTF and no 4.2.2 .........but am optimistic that 4.4 is coming for S3's and never will CM/AOKP/PARANOID roms forsake the S3 it will have 5+ versions

So since you allege AT&T released official firmware for 4.1.2(some other way than OTA) obviously my search skills aren't what they should be. Can you provide a link to backup your allegations?
Whether or not we get updates has little to do with Samsung and more to do with the service provider, and it is the service provider whom determines if we get an official copy released.
My thought is that AT&T is attempting to discourage us from customizing our devices. Some people have no business customizing anything and that can cause them to attempt to return their device under warranty. When the owner was the cause of the device failure that costs the provider money...

Btw I want to apologize to the OP here is a link to some roms that are pre rooted they're very close to stock with only minor differences mostly in its capabilities and some are debloated. These will get you rooted for sure, remove knox and should do what you want. I like the one from loserskater. This link below works only on the AT&T SGH-I747.

Sorry if this is addressed elsewhere but i could not find it.
I have a T999. I moved out of TMO coverage and changed to straight talk using AT&T. Everything (call data) works great.
I am looking for a AT&T Kit Kat TW stock port if there is one out there. I looked in the Dev pages and didn't find any.
I can build it if I need to. but need to know, can I just take the stock AT&T rom and change the modem and flash with ODIN or with a custom recovery?
Right now I'm newest stock rooted. I used to do a lot, but it's been a while.
Never flash firmware from another device. Currently there is only likewise. TMS3KK will be out very soon. I've got an NE4 port in the works but just haven't been home much so haven't finished it.
You can flash AT&T roms, but unless properly ported you may have some issues, primarily with the network.
Thanks ... I figured all the radios would be broke. Didn't know if there was any other difference.
I can wait a bit ...
In the at&t section there's a 442 system dump. Its what I've been running. Flashes, runs fine on latest t999 radio
Here ya go. Just flash Ktoonz kernel after ROM.
