Has anyone made any strides in a rom specifically for the SCH-R890 variant of the S4 Mini?
I've combed the internet and found nothing but roms for the international and sprint variants.
My stupid self lost my mobile network on my phone due to flashing a rom made for the i195 version since the root for that one worked I figured the rom would too.
I feel like until theres a rom just for this version my phone is worthless.
edit: seems my phone is serranolteusc and i flashed a serranoltexx rom, serrano3gxx roms do not work at all.
still working on a fix for all of this, ive probably put a combined 18 hours into this so far

Hello everyone, im looking to install cyanogenmod on my note 2 from wind mobile in canada (i think it uses AWS) and i cannot for the life of me target a custom rom compatible with my phone (or i have no idea were to look) under cyanogenmod there are 2 catagories relevant to my phone i believe in there wiki. T0lte and n7100. How can i figure out what one to use? (i hope cyanogenmod is the way to go, im looking for a slimmer rom to save some battery, no need for samsung kies, air play or whatever etc.)
Not n7100

so definately T0lte? i really dont want to mess up my radios, as from the drama ive seen from other Canadian users it can be complete hell trying to resore them.

tolte, never n7100
Even though LTE is disabled out-of-the-box on the T889V (and was on the T889 prior to the update) its very much an "LTE" Note 2 device. Cyanogenmod and other custom ROMs typically flash only the /system partition, and possibly the kernel (and ramdisk, both included in boot.img to the specific). They shouldn't in most circumstances touch the modem partition that's behind the issues you're dreading.
To be on the safe side, make proper backups in both QPST and CDMA Workshop formats.
N7100 is nice and I got better battery life out of it than the TMO one. N7100 is only good on ATT Networks and will never have LTE. So the TMO Note2 is best.
Hey, I would normally have started a threat in the proper subforum but it seems new users require 10 posts minimum
Has anyone with this rom encountered issues. everytime I reboot the phone, I end up having to wipe it which is somewhat annoying as you can imagine.
Also, yes i am a bit of a noob but i had successfully flashed my galaxy tab 2 10.1 with nowhere near as many problems as i am having with the s4.
note that this is a canadian model and that the baseband is I337MVLUAMG1. I see now that it stated I should be using the ATT baseband.
how do i go about flashing that?
i guess im alone in canada...
I have an AT&T Galaxy S3 with Android 4.4.2. I used Towelroot to root my phone and it worked really well. My only concern is about which ROMs to use. It looks like most ROMs for the S3 are for android 4.3 and not what I have. Since I used a root technique for an S4 does that mean I should use ROMs from the Galaxy S4 4.4.2?
Any information would be great. I do not want to brick my phone!
NO. You must stay within the roms for your device. Flashing anything else is highly likely to give you a brick.
You have already started out on the wrong foot; these forums are for the Sprint S3, not the AT&T variant. Look for your device forum and you can flash any rom listed, regardless of whether the rom is 4.3 or 4.4.2 based
Hello, name's Mike, have been in the android side for a while and it's my first time actually owning an US version of a phone, the N900T (T-Mobile Note 3) running 5.0 stock TW. (I don't live in the US)
So please, enlighten me!
ROOT AND RECOVERY
I have tried to root it and did it successfully, however when I tried to get a custom recovery on it, I only got boot loops so far, tried various tutorials, none of them have yet worked out for me.
CUSTOM ROMS
Are there any current custom rom development for this phone? I've seen lots of KK roms but I was looking to get a stable lollipop AOSP like rom like CM12 but without crashes or battery drain. Does anyone know any good roms that are stable?
PORTING
Also! How do you port a N9005 rom to a 900T? I've seen some methods by flashing a BT+Wifi fix or something like that but it seems outdated and I don't want to brick my phone just yet.
Please, please help me out, I am really out of it. Used to Custom rom on a Huawei U8650, Galaxy S2 and on my G2, but this is harder due to it being a carrier phone.
Thanks for your comprehension.
Did you download the right TWRP? Get the tar file and odin it.

Did you check the N900T development forum? There is quite a few to select from. I.E. Slim

Sorry can't help you with porting.
With Lollipop 5.0 available for international variants such as the I9505, is it possible to simply flash that official rom, along with a U.S. modem to the SGH-m919?
I have read threads where CUSTOM ROMS are compatible with both the I9505 and M919, but not the stock I9505 rom already available.
Am I missing something obvious with this question because I know I am not the first to think of it. After comparing hardware specs of the two models, only the CPU looked different.
Has anyone successfully done this or has anyone done this and then needed a dozen workarounds only to get below par functionality? One of the reasons that I have not flashed to all of the current custom roms, is that each has "no Bluetooth support yet" or "Wifi calling not working." I truly respect the work of the modding community, as I can not do what it does, but I just do not want any more never ending workarounds simply to makes calls and texts. Flashing a rom? Yes. I run both T-Mobile and Metro versions of the latest M919 firmware/software.
Thanks much.
Bluetooth worked for me. WiFi calling will not work either way, no matter how official. Needs to be T-Mobile firmware. I think there is a guide to flash it in general thread if you're interested. I wouldn't do it

Thank you very much. I have spotty coverage where I live. I go from 4G LTE to no signal 20 feet from my house. I wanted to try Lollipop without using a custom, buggy rom. Many of the custom roms look fantastic and feel snappy but the list of "not working" and bugs to be fixed in next build is simply not worth it to me.
