I was running a paranoid android for some time and wanted to go back to the original rom so I grabbed the latest telus 4.4.2 rom off of samsung updates and the phone works fine. The only thing I notice is that before I used to have the LTE icon in the status bar and now I only have the 4G icon. Since I never got the update officially from Telus over the air, can anyone currently running 4.4.2 on a galaxy s3 inform me if they have the LTE or the 4G icon?

It's only an image, it doesn't change anything. That being said, you can test your network speed see if anything changed.

Well according to Telus:
about.telus.com/community/english/about_us/technology_%26_innovation/telus_networks/national_wireless_network
4G is maximum 21Mbps and LTE is maximum theoretical 150Mbps and acordding to the speedtest app I get 46.97 Mbps download and 7.83 Mbps upload so that means on my LTE?

Chances are that you're on LTE. Do you know if your modem changed? Cause if it didn't, you're getting the same thing you were before stock.
Also, like I mentioned, they're images, they are easily swapped/changed. Different ROMs will use different images
You can Go to settings>about phone>status. And it should tell you what network type your on, either HSPA or LTE

I haven't flashed a modem but I did flash the stock rom using ODIN, is a modem included in that package usually? Also I think this rom came with root which would mean it's not 100% stock, is there a place I can get the original telus rom?

Root was simply pushed to the stock ROM (might've been unbloated too) but if you want unrooted, get it directly from Kies or a Odin flashable version from Sammobile.com . You might have to unroot before though (using SuperSU or whichever root app you have) if you wanna do it through Kies.
As for the modem, if you flashed stock, then yes it flashed a modem. That being said, it might be the one you had on custom as well cause most custom ROMs don't change it. That being said, you can look which one (if any) was packaged with the ROM you were using and compare with the one you currently have on your phone.

So I was having problems getting LTE on Hyperdrive so I flashed back to stock. Only problem is on stock I am still getting H+ and 3G whereas before I flashed a new mod I had 4g and LTE. Any solutions? Thanks guys!'
My model number is SGH-i747m
i'm assuming you've checked your network mode and made sure the correct apn is setup. did you grab a carrier specific stock tar from sammobile or on this site? who's your carrier?

I bought a used ATT I317 for use on T-mobile network. Just got everything set up, had to flash the J2 modem in order to work around the unlock. Without any further tinkering, it looks like I am getting access to the 4G network via notification (no indication of access to LTE) but getting highest speeds of about 10.25 Mbps down 2.5 up, and lower speeds of 3 Mbps down. I'm wondering if an updated ATT modem would remedy this problem or if I should get a T-mobile based ROM and flash the updated T889 modem to it?
Many of the posts I have come across are older and I believe before the tower integration. Not sure if it is necessary to go further in modem modification or do the AWS band work around. I have my phone rooted and plan to try out different ROMs, especially cyanogen and DittoNote 3, would it work better for me to access the T889 bands from variants of those, or other ROMs?

yeah first do the latest modem and then the aws mod.
because each time you flash any kind of modem you need to re do the mod
Ah okay thanks. So I should put the latest ATT modem on there and with the AWS mod it should take care of all of my 4G and LTE issues? Then on top of that I should be able to flash any ROM without issue?
Do you happen to have a link to the latest i317 modem?

Hello all,
Sorry if this was asked before but i couldnt find it in the search as its coming up with numerous returns on something else.
Anyways, I bought an AT&T s3 rooted and i was able to put it back to stock with Android 4.0.4. After i put it back to stock i got it unlocked to use on T-Mobile.
My questions are,
how do i update the software to the latest version. do i update it with AT&T software or do i use the T-Mobile software version?
If I update it again will it get locked again?
Rooting is not really an option as it is for my daughters use
thank you in advance for any replies,

Once your phone is unlocked, it stays unlocked always even after firmware upgrades. If the phone is rooted, it means you can install custom firmware. If you want to stay on stock, however, you should stick to the AT&T versions. With a valid AT&T sim and as long as the IMEI is clean, you should be able to get OTA upgrade to the latest version (currently 4.3) via WiFi. I didn't have any problem doing this on my unlocked AT&T even with an unfunded albeit valid sim.
You can't install a custom ROM just by having root. You need to have a custom recovery installed in order to install a custom ROM.
Look under About Phone to determine whether the phone is identified as an i747 or t999.
thanks for the replies.
I know how to root a phone but I dont want it to be rooted as its for my daughter. thanks.

So I have am using already a T-Mobile S4 (m919) on At&t's network... I have already rooted it, flashed Hyperdrive, entered the correct APN, and it works basically well...
Here is what I am wondering, my signal strength seems to be not the best and it makes me wonder, is there a modem, baseband I can flash on the T-mobile version of the S4 that could possibly help it work better on the At&t network... and do so with out making my S4 a paper weight?

Glad someone asked that. I looked for a few hours last night and came up empty(been working an off shift so I might have missed it). I am on 4.2.2 MDL and signal is definitely much weaker than my Active on 4.3 . Has anyone compared modems to see which are better?

I can provide anecdotal evidence but nothing real...
MK2 is better.
Also, as for which modem to flash; T-Mobile's MK2 would be the one to flash. I've read you can flash other carrier's modems as long as they are the same version, i.e. AT&T MK2 or T-Mobile MK2... but that just doesn't make sense to me and I wouldn't recommend it. The modem you flash is independent of who your carrier is; you go by what brand of phone you have. If you have the M919 then you flash T-Mobile firmwares/modems/etc regardless of which carrier your bill comes from.

I've encountered the same thing with my M919. Switching between Android 4.3 and 4.4.2 modem.bin files made no difference.
I did notice that when I changed my network preference from 3G/2G to 2G-only, I gained about 10 dBa when the handset fell back to GSM-EDGE mode. It made a big difference. I verified that AT&T only uses band II (1900MHz) for GSM and UMTS in my county, so it wasn't because I switched to band V (850MHz) which seems to have better range. What I find annoying is that the handset isn't dropping down to 2G automatically when reception is poor. It'll stick with 3G even when the signal strength is as low as -107 dBa.
No LTE at the moment since my AT&T MNVO doesn't support it.
I'm thinking of buying an M919, carrier unlocked, to use on ATT, so that I can get a proper recovery and have full access to custom ROMs without the safestrap limitations.
Is it safe to say that:
1. If I buy a T-Mobile S4, and it comes carrier unlocked, it will work fine on the ATT network, including 4G / LTE? Lots of data points suggest this but I haven't heard it explicitly stated...
2. Though I could use the phone as identified as an M919, I really want Play Store to see it as an I337 (ATT version), so I can install some ATT specific apps. Is there any problem flashing a build.prop (available in the ATT threads) with the ATT identifiers & APN info, to enable this?
3. Are there any gotchas I should be aware of? Basically, I just want a phone with unlocked bootloader / kernel so I can play. Not too worried about Knox/warranty.
Any insights would be appreciated!

Will the T-Mobile S4 work on the AT&T network; yes it will work if it's carrier unlocked. I purchased my M919 full price out of contract while I was still on AT&T service. Once I carrier-unlocked I was able to pick up AT&T's 4G/LTE and was even able to make use of the AT&T 3G Microcell device which transmits a 3G cell signal and runs over your WiFi. I now have Net10 Wireless with an AT&T SIM card and I still get 4G/LTE when it's around.
Your second question: I do believe that's all that would be required. I'm not 100% sure if just modifying the build.prop would allow you to use the AT&T-specific apps in the Play Store. I never used them to begin with so I never explored whether or not I could make them work on the T-Mobile firmware. Now, I know this involves more than just a build.prop edit, but a 100% sure way to get AT&T Apps working would be to flash a custom ROM based on AT&T firmware. Being that you have a T-Mobile device and are using it on another carrier's network, always remember; when it comes to Odin especially, flash things meant for the T-Mobile M919 ONLY. It doesn't matter that you use AT&T service, your device needs T-Mobile Modems/stock firmwares/etc.
As far as gotchas... not that I can think of. The M919 has an unlocked bootloader and even with KNOX is very easy to root and use custom ROMS on. If you're not concerned with KNOX then you really don't have to take into consideration any special rooting method, no safestrap junk, etc. Without root, just flash a recovery in Odin and flash away.
I know this thread is a bit old, but the situation is very relevant to me. I just won a S4 M919 on eBay which will be delivered tomorrow. T-mobile has agreed to send me an unlock code. My motivation is to install TWRP recovery which I can't do on the i337. I intend to activate it on Cricket (AT&T network). Is it still true that I should stick with firmware, ROMs, and modems designed for the M919? I don't care about AT&T or T-mobile apps so that's not an issue. Basically, I want the best data rates available. Any gotchas that I need to be aware of?

Basically, you're best off bringing the phone to current M919 stock through ODIN. Is that NK2 or has there been a more recent version? I've lost track. But do the entire phone, and in fact as you will see from some threads it is often necessary to flash it twice in succession to get everything to stick. This will bring you to the latest modem. Remember, the modem is two parts: the modem.bin (also known as the gsm modem, which isn't specifically dependent on the bootloader version you have) and the LTE modem (non-hlos.bin, which is dependent on the firmware version, and bad things happen if you mismatch).
Since your phone is out of warranty, there's no downside to going to the latest, even if the phone arrives with 4.2.2 firmware (pre-knox). Tripping the knox bit is only a problem if you would be sending the phone in for warranty service.
I've got the M919 and am using it on ATT, with no problems. I've got the pre-knox firmware (MDL), and will be updating to the latest next time I flash.
Here is an old, but still relevant, thread about my experiences with M919 on ATT.

Thanks a lot for that update. As I understand it, the current firmware is NB4 according to this site:
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/
Not sure what your reference to NK2 is? That doesn't seem to correspond to either 4.2.2 nor 4.4.2? I'm currently on Cricket with a S4 I337 and hope to move the SIM over as soon as my M919 arrives tomorrow.
I believe after NB4 there was NH7 then NK2. Check the firmware thread in the general section for details / links.

I use my SGH-M919 on an AT&T network also. I use the OK3 modem firmware and it seems to work great here. Although I am in Alaska, so top speeds of LTE are only about 6 Mbps where I live. Usually I can only get about 3 Mbps due to the lack of coverage around here.
You can either update to the latest OH3 firmware on your phone, or if you have an old model, with the MDL bootloader, you could also use this guide by lordodin912:

I received a used s3 which had stock 4.3 , modem/bootloader mjb, and knox. I rooted, removed knox and installed slim 4.4.4 rom, lean 4.4.4 kernel and latest philz. All running ok
including cell calls to/from, mms, apps and wifi data. Same modem/bootloader (MJB), IMEI available However cellular data will not connect and or transmit/receive using att, phone or lte APN.

I just added an APN, tested and deleted it. I was holding off changing roms because it seems to me that this might be an ATT cell data network registration problem in which the choice of ROM is
irrelevant.

This is strange that it can't connect the ATT data network. Is ATT's data network functioning properly in your area? Are you able to try your sim in another phone?

I just tested the ATT data network with another sim and phone. AOK. Unable to easily test with the same sim due to a std/micro sim card mismatch. Will be able to
do that after 6p cdt today.
Weird, I would suggest creating a nandroid backup of your current ROM and try another ROM.
Do you have a link to the ROM you installed?

Here is a link to the main d2lte download page. I downloaded the 7.0 version as my searches showed some instability in later releases .

Will have to hold for now on another rom install due to external issues.
I don't see any assert lines in the ROM's updater-script file. I also noticed that it has been updated since Aug 5.

Not knowledgeable enough to understand assert impact. Also held off on later version due to thread discussion about instability.
The only thing left to do seems to be trying another ROM. If that doesn't solve the issue, it may be a defective sim card or possible hardware issue.

Have to go on hold for a while now.
Thanks for the efforts
Any other thoughts/help appreciated!!
If you get it solved, let us know how you did it.
Sorry I couldn't solve the problem for you.
Cheers
Resolved. By removal of lean kernel and extensive correction of ATT registration data. Thanks for the help
