[RESOLVED] [Help] Captivate Glide At&T

Hello everyone. Recently I bought a Samsung Captivate Glide i927 at&t and unlock the GSM by code. Right now im having problem because i can update the phone to the new android version 2.3.6. When i check the Software update option it said that there is no update to make all is up to date. I want to know if these is a ROM problem or i should flash the Stock ROM in the Phone. Can anyone help me? Thank You.

There are already thread where this topic is discussed.
Go through the below one

More information on 2.3.6 version is available at

Unless you are on AT&T network, you cannot update as it is OTA.

So i can't update my phone because I'm not an at&t client?

Yes, as well as not being directly connected to their network. The OTA updates from AT&T will only push via the AT&T data network. Requests routed from outside that network are denied. Not sure if the link above has it, but I believe someone extracted the update package. Personally, I'd recommend going to a custom ROM, but if you'd like to stick to the stock ROM, the stock Rogers ROM will work, and doesn't contain the AT&T Bloatware, as well as not having Carrier IQ installed (which was the secondary update besides the kernel version from AT&T)

WIND Galaxy S4 M919V's UNITE

I thought I'd create the first thread for the Canadian variant of the M919's similar to the thread on the S3 subsection. This is basically a thread where owners of the M919V can discuss amongsts each other based on our model of the phone.

Yes. My M919V from Wind (using it on Virgin) got an update this morning. MDC to MDJ now. The firmwares posted on samfirmware are the newer ones that includes today's 18 Mb update.
I didn't notice any difference as of yet. The description only read "Stability Improvements".

Me too I got update on videtron .
Guys now that you have open this topic it will nice to have real guide for our version for Rooting andvalso listing whic recovery and Rom work on Videtron / wind version.
I am too scared to brick the phine so I need guide from people who already done it.

Root
Is there any root for our version?

I had my S4 crash on me once so I'm assuming the update fixed that. I'm not sure what caused the crash but it reminded me of the crashes I'd get with AOSP roms on my S3 which shocked me. So far no crash though. TBF, I think that the roots for the TMO work for us as well, however I haven't tried yet either as I'm also waiting for confirmation hehe. :good:
BTW has anyone gotten the unlock for the M919's to work on M919V's? When I dial the code in, it doesnt want to accept it.

I suppose I'll get things rolling a little bit.
1) Root
The motochopper method works. Tested it myself. Even on the newest M919VVLUAMDJ.
Link here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258633
2) Sim Unlock
Again tested by me, works flawlessly even after flashing stock rom again.
Link here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285431
3) Recovery
Not tested by me, but others have had success installing TWRP.
Link here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263947
4) Stock
I flashed stock ROM with Odin after rooting to return back to stock. Everything is just how it is supposed to be.
Let's get going!

Thanks dj_aj, for root we don't need to go back to old firmware ?
I can confirmed I followed yesterday the method posted in the main Galaxy S4 Genreal forum(not T-mobile one) by looking at your links it look like same steps, and my videotron is unlocked I tried Telus sim of a friend it is working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
For me the only important reason why I want to root and install a custom ROM is to have Pdroid as Apps now days ask for crazy permissions and I want to block that. Is there any Stock Base ROM that include Pdroid or OpenPdroid ? Because otherwise my phone is ultra fast and smooth no need of crazy flashing like I use to do before with my LG lol

Is there anyway to enable LTE on this model? My phone tends to jump to the Rogers partner network every now and then and the data is terribly slow on Rogers 3G compared to Videotrons 4G. Thanks.

Open the phone dialer and press *#2263#.
Then select LTE Band Preference & then LTE All. This will force your phone to only connect to LTE.
To revert back chose Automatic from the service mode.

No that is not necessary. The new firmware is still rootable with motochopper.

Ever since I installed the firmaware update 2 days ago my batter life has tanked. Anyone else having this problem? (noob warning) Is it possible to revert to the previous version (non-rooted device)?

Could you elaborate on how much the battery life has really tanked? Is it down to just a few hours? And how less is it compared to the previous times?
I ask only because even though I initially thought that my battery was draining much quickly on this new firmware, it isn't really so. I'm getting about the same battery life.
Also, at this moment there is no way to downgrade to the previous firmware. The reason being the only stock firmware available to be flashed is the latest one.

You rooted it but you didn't install/tested any ROM ? so basically any T mobile Rom will work ?
Also if OP author can add Videotron in the title of the topic we may get more people

You are welcome and no, I did not install any ROMs or custom recoveries. I like the stock touchwiz roms and generally only root to get rid of bloatware & do some minor tweaks.
I assume that all custom roms for the t-mobile sgh-m919 should work on our sgh-m919v variants. But, I have no expertise in this area & if anybody knows more can correct me.

I've updated the main post with links people have posted on here just for good reference. I hope that's okay with the original posters.

Just to confirm that i just rooted my videotron S4 with the link in OP . No need to roll back firmware worked perfectly with latest . Dont forget to turn on unlocked screen as you will be asked to allow root on your phone.

So I dont think its the firmware. Forgive the noobiness. Here's what happened: for two weeks since I bought the phone I have been following the same usage pattern every weekday - full charge with phone off at night, turn on at 8am, an hour of radio streaming and some browsing, gmail syncing sms and sporadic short browsing, repeat hour of streaming/browsing on commute home, some browsing on wifi in the evening. I have all smart features disabled and only syncing my gmail and calendar all in the effort to conserve bbattery.NEway this process would take my battery to about 20% by 11pm. Then last week for 2 consecutive days my battery life plummeted during the day to the point where it was 100% drained by 6pm. I didnt consider whether I had done anything differently on those days but now I know. I tried to send pictures through gmail over the network. With each pic weighing I at approx 3mb gmail was working to send them for hours while draining my battery. It just so happened that this took plafe the day after I installed the upgrade. Lesson here for me is wait for wifi to email pics taken by the fantastic camera on this phone.e

Updating Radio/Modem

Hello guys, sorry if this is a noob question for you Sammy guys (I'm more used to Nexus devices), but I was wondering if it is possible to update the baseband version on this device? More specifically, I was wondering if I could update to an international radio/modem? If not, does anyone know where to find the latest radios for each device. I tried searching but only could come up with an older thread for the version I already have (MDL). On my Nexus One and HTC One S we could flash any baseband we wanted, international or carrier release. Thanks!

No.
Do not flash any radio other than the ones made for your device. At best it won't boot. At worst it won't let you Odin back to the correct radio and it will never boot.

Sucks we have to wait for T-Mobile to finally release an update. I knew I should have just went for the i9505 international variant lol. Never again buy from a carrier! Thanks tho, saved me some fun time tooling around in Odin and losing my files.

Yeah but a new modem update by itself will probably never be a super improvement. So you probably aren't missing out on much.
Its not like an updated modem will let you talk to the Moon or something.

LOL. what he's trying to do (my guess) is to use the i9505 4.3 roms. Unfortunately you will LOSE data connection (with the screen off) without the newer radios.
No option unfortunately but wait.

Spot on. Apparently, T-Mo is supposed to release their 4.3 update early to mid November (consult General Section for source). Then and only then would we be able to use a 4.3 TW ROM without cell network wonking out like a drunk. Hopefully T-Mobile could be at least 1/3rd useful this time and actually push out an update for once.. (you can feel my hatred towards carriers...... =.=).
EDIT: SOURCE THREAD, towards the last few pages starts the talk of the rumored T-Mo Nov. release.

There is no M919 Tmobile 4.3 dump.
That's the problem, the only dump and the flashable zipfile rom
available as of yet is for the international versions of the S4's.
Flashing an international version of the 4.3 rom into our M919
phones even if it worked properly we would be losing wifi calling
and most like the LTE feature plus who knows what else.

You are wrong there is a t mobile4.3 dump for very long posted in general section : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478553
Sent from my SGH-M919V using Tapatalk 4

We CAN run the TW 4.3 ROMs and have full LTE as normal (except for Wi-Fi calling b/c that's a T-Mo specific feature), the only issue is that data randomly cuts in and out. I don't understand how I could run AOSP 4.3 with no issues but 4.3 TW gives problems...
The thing is, only us T-Mo users have data issues, not the international or any other carrier. So it MUST be the radio version that is the cause of the problems, which is why we must wait for T-Mo to finally release an update...

Has anyone dare to flash international MJ5, JM6 modem? I mean our bootloader is unlock right? If it don't work can we just flash back our old modem? Just a thought.

Not a full dump. Only partial dump as the OP of that thread didn't want to root for fear of triggering Knox, and he had to return the device to tmobile.

Does Flashing SGH-I747 4.3 to a custom ROM will remove the carrier lock of the phone?

No, you are Still locked to your carrier
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk

Couple of things to keep in mind:
1) if you want to unlock the phone, get a code and unlock the phone while running a stock ROM. You will not be able to enter the code using a custom ROM; and
2) do not attempt to downgrade the bootloader. Any attempts to downgrade could, and probably will, brick your phone.

Does this really works?
I have read through the forums. And I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/app-galaxsim-unlock-1-02-jb-compatible-t1846451 Does this really work?

I doubt it. If it did, there would be a big thread about it in the i747/i747m forum. Also, under FAQ, it states the following: support international Galaxy S3 i9300 (Us qualcomm based GS3 are not supported at this time)
The last post in that thread was 2013-06-14.

That unlock app will not work as it does not support U.S S3 variants
There's a working downgrade to 4.1.1 check it out and while on it, try the free unlock then upgrade again
Edit: my bad.. You can't do the free unlock even of you downgrade because the bootloader is still 4.3... Only way to do it once you're on 4.3 bootloader is to purchase an unlock code
Good luck

Easiest and most overlooked way is to root and install xposed
framework then download and enable X Tether it just starts the devices tethering without going though the T-Mobile account verification

Thanks!!

I just got the Note 3 myself.
I hope someone could clarify if I'm seeing the situation correctly...
If I don't want to trip the Knox counter, but I want to mod through Xposed, then I'm just flying blind without a custom recovery, right? There are no other reliable ways to back up my device before tinkering with Xposed?
