Ok, so I have the us cellular version sm-n910r4 and I'm having the hardest time finding any roms or even forums for it. I know about team us cellular but there's just not much going on over there. I am rooted, running twrp 2.8.6.0 (I think), and have supersu 2.49. I know there are some roms out there and I've even tried cm12.1 but there has to be more options! I've read a few places that certain other model numbers work with the us cellular model but I'm not sure if that's true. Does anyone know? Any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry for asking about us cellular here, but I don't know where else to go and xda has the most active and helpful forums.
yep no info anywhere
I can't find anything anywhere I can't even get it rooted I'm on a note 4 also same us cellular you mus be on 4.4.4. Even less info for 5.0
I'm actually on 5.0.1
How to root the phone runs on 5.0.1
I got the same phone this couple dates. But the phone is updated to 5.0.1 and I got no way to root it. Is any help for that? Thanks.
Some help not much. I did have root on it and nearly sure it was 5.01 . Am fairly positive that I used odin and a tar file I found published. I found the tar file but now and bricked and cannot get it to work any more. I can get the file to load or so 0din says success but cannot get past the usc screen on boot now.
BTW USC agreed to set me carrier free and I SHOWED AT THE store agreeing to do so in NC only to find I was bricked.

So yeah I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919V) by Videotron which I then unlocked, sadly I had the surprise of not having access to LTE so I came here immediately in order to find a solution, which I sort of did but didn't work as well as people claimed it would. I downloaded T-Mobile's stock ROM (M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB ) and extracted it to get my modem.bin which I then put in a .tar to flash in Odin with no success, instead I go a Security Check Fail error. I've then did some Google search which brought me to a few threads here and there with other people with similar issues but no actual clear explanation on how to go through this, any idea or optimal solution for this? It would be greatly appreciated.

After further research, I came across a few information which draws me to a different issue that could probably be causing the rest.
Apparently Odin has to read my phone and show a yellow box to say that it's actually working and ready to go? I already had the latest Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones and USB Debugging Mode enabled but I still do not get that said yellow box and it keeps giving me Auth Fail errors with literally ANYTHING I flash on my phone whether its a Custom Recovery, a Modem or even a mere input in Android Terminal Emulator, it's as if my phone was completely blocked from any type of outside source for whatever reason, never had this problem before. Anything that I could be missing?
So I managed to install a custom recovery and rooted it, so basically, the issue isn't Odin, it's a modem compatibility issue, my current modem is M919VVLUAMG1 which is from Videotron and doesn't support LTE, and on this exact website people said that it was possible to flash a modem.bin from T-Mobile's firmware in order to be able to get my LTE back but this leaves me with an Auth Fail error all the time. I'm really desperate here and the lack of support is saddening.
The temporary solution that I found is simply installing the latest T-Mobile Cyanogen Mod on my device and I got my LTE back but that isn't what I am looking for, so until I find a more solid solution I'll stick to this.

Is that 10.1 or 10.2 CM? You got LTE with calls to work with that?
10.2 RC2, set your APN to the proper LTE one, it'll show you 4G but in reality its LTE, its written in the CyanogenMod's FAQs and I also did a speed test which got me 45 Mbps DL and 25 Mbps UL
Hey there guys!
New to this site and the world of android modding and just bought myself a new S4 Mini from my cell carrier (FIDO). Im pretty tech savvy when it comes to computers and whatnot but i figured id do some research into it and found this site
Ive been reading on the forums and whatnot about rooting this phone but all i can seem to find are guides on the older GT-I9195 and 9190 moddels.
So i guess what my question is (and forgive me if its been asked a trillion times but im newb) is that is it possible to root this phone ,SGH-1257M, and still retain the same model number and all the features that comes with the phone ? and if so is there a CLEAR guide to doing so, i have cookies ;P (from what ive read it gets put as a GT-I9195 or 9190 and thats not what im looking for).
Im not worried about voiding my KNOX warranty as i have a plan with FIDO that offers replacement phones with no questions asked (water dmg etc) so if need be ill mess up the phone before i replace it.
Ive tried once using this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470173&page=7 from the guys suggestion at the bottom but once its done i keep getting TONS of KNOX notifications stating something is trying to access the system and its prevented it. Plus when i use root checker it says it has failed.
Im assuming this means try again but im just asking to be sure before i continue to flash my device lol. I have the stock rom for my device downloaded from Sammobile so if need be i can restore it to stock again (ive done that already once using odin) and start over.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps a fellow modder out
Cheers!

I am complete noob on rooting, flashing, etc. I am hoping that someone will post instructions for SGH-I257M in detail, that a technically competent but noob to this process can follow. As it is now you have to go to a few different places, gather and analyze the procedures, understand as best you can, and take your chances.
If you do this please post your results, in detail.
The SGH-I257M is a Canadian model. I am in London ON. Are you nearby?

Hey man thanks for the reply. I have managed to root the phone successfully using the I9195 Method (For LTE) without flashing the kernel over (and therefore changing the phone model to I9195) and kept my sgh-i257m model number. Pretty sweet!
The only issue im having now is HORRIBLE battery drain occuring (I can literally watch it go down when im using the phone):victory:. I know flashing the I9195 kernel should in theory fix this but im afraid that if I do that ill never be able to get back to the sgh I257m model even if I have the stock rom (they are on sammobile).
If someone can confirm that I can indeed flash back to sgh model then ill gladly loose the features for better batter life! Otherwise I might just stick with an unrooted device for now and see if anything comes up soon
Possibly Figured It OUT!!!!
Ok so after a few days of playing around and reading a TON i think i have successfully figured out how to root the s4 mini SGH-i257m model and still retain that model number.
The steps are quite simple as you just follow the GT-i9195 rooting guide to the letter which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980.
After rooting using this method you will indeed trip the KNOX flag so be sure to be aware of that BEFORE you continue.
Once I did that and checked with root checker app i was beyond excited. But pretty much right away I was plagued with battery drain issues from hell (i could watch it drain a % a minute at some points) but i was VERY wary about flashin the GT-i9195 kernel because i still wanted all the features my phone model added (i know im a stickler). But after only using my phone for 5 hrs total (most of it standby time in school) and having only 8 % left i could not deal
So i flashed the gt-i9195 kernel onto my phone, reboot and expected my phone to say gt-i9195 model but its still SGH-i257m!!!
So basically just follow the GT-i9195 root instructions and your good to go as far as i know. Even the battery issues seem to have disapeared
hope this helps out any other Canadian s4 Mini owners out there, as i know this was frustrating for me in the beginning.
If you were to install CyanogenMod 11's latest nightlies, you will still retain the model number thanks to arco68

Thanks again for the reply
I have an LS990 that I had paid to have unlocked using the cloudy rom. I had it unlocked to be able to use T-mobile. I am having alot of difficulty with signal as I'm at between -90dBm and 3 asu. I've switched between all the bands and options that it gives me under the network options and nothing seems to help. I have debating on reflashing to a different Rom to maybe get better results. One thats maybe more optimized for T-mobile and just more updated in general.
I have jailbroke Iphones before but never an android so I am not sure what to do exactly even though I believe it would ultimately be the same concept.
I know this is my first post on these forums so alot of members might night be willing to help but any help would be better then know help
So I guess this is what I ask
1. Can you give me the steps to flash the rom
2. If I would need to unlock the phone again to be able to use T-mobile the steps needed to do so
3. How to update the PRLs with T-mobile so I can achieve a better signal(if needed or able to using my current ROM
To confirm my current Rom is the CloudyG3_1.2
I'm doing some testing and other stuff and I need the baseband and modem in a flaahable zip format for use with twrp should I screw up. Can anyone plz help? I have the g920p and ill be testing the g920t roms. Just came back to sprint this week for service hehehe...... so I'm looking to get some potential new ROMs for our devices either by port or whatever.
Sorry if this is not the place for these kinda questions but I'm an impatient bastard and I don't have time to scope the web for a proper placement for these questions, wth all respect. please and thanks for the help.
I've gotten the tmo roms to boot however...
However I need the baseband for our s6 to have service and,the like.....can someone, anyone get me a twrp or flashfire flashable baseband for OCF or OE2? I've looked and looked and can't find a thing. I've tested a couple tmo roms and yes They boot up and all is well, except no signal, no baseband or anything of that nature. In my past flaahing adventures, I know flashing a baseband will at times fix,the lack there of. Help me plz and thankyou.

Wouldn't this be a kernel or rom issue? Generally, custom roms don't touch the baseband, only carrier OTAs.
Its a modem/baseband issue. It says,unknown baseband and all that stuff and the other radio like stuff is gone also. I believe a,baseband being flashed would resolve this issue. Everything else works like a charm.

So you're flashing GSM ROMs...for a CDMA device...it's not a baseband issue...it's a ROM/kernel issue...
Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk
Well I'm flashing every kind of rom. I REALLY,would just like the damn base and/modem please. I'm flashing all roms and the baseband and imei is broken on GSM on the cdma only the baseband is broken. This request of mine shouldn't be a matter of interrogation....more a matter of helping someone out who would like yo experiment and possibly find a way to run any rom on our devices. Be its cdma or GSM more or less the g920f as its global the the g920v/I/k roms or whatever is cdma.
No no sir that isn't what I'm seeking.....I require the modem so I can experiment with other roms. I need the modem.bin or the modem. I need this desperately. I don't mean to be rude but this should be simple to acquire from a well known and well experienced dev or someone like a dev. Can you or someone please help?

Djvoleur, i too have a sprint s6 thats gsm unlocked and ive tried plenty of stock/rooted kernels for our device with tmobile, att, verizon, sprint s6 edge, and even international cooked roms . Most of them boot when using your kernel . Theyll work with vkernel or unikernel, but as he was saying, although he was rude, the baseband is always unknown. No signal, sometimes you wont even see a X for no signal. Do you have any ideas i could try ? Ive got plenty sprint s6 phones to try this on and not worried about a brick. I know the risks. I titanium backup restore my personal phone nearly 3 times a week to figure this out. Not enough people bounce ideas off one another in this forum
Have you tried a note 5 rom? I would assume the issues from a note Sprint note one wouldn't be the same as the connectivity settings would be the same. The issue would probably be more of a hardware/programming problem. At this point, I think it would be an easier port since our device isn't as similar to the international device as we once thought it could be.
Never tried note 5 rom . I dont think that'd work without a port of device drivers n such
Rooted it for a buddy using KingRoot, worked totally fine. Verified that it was working and went about our day. I didn't attempt to install recovery or anything like that because I know the bootloader is locked. For some reason, it is now saying that the software is unofficial, and to take it to a Verizon store for some damn reason. 100% sure this is an AT&T tablet, as it says SM-T707A right on the back panel, and it's on his AT&T plan.
I can't find the flashable software on either AT&T or Samsung's site...does anyone know where I can get it, or what I can do to fix this? I can get into download mode no problem. I've owned many Samsung devices in the past and it's never been as issue if you can get into download mode....but I can't find the damned firmware.
May have figured it out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/stock-kitkat-image-sm-t707a-revert-t3403934
Gonna odin back to Kit Kat and take the OTA if available back to lollipop.
Still dunno why the hell it says Verizon on the error screen though...
Reporting back in case someone finds this via search. This totally worked. It's back up and running.
Wasn't able to do the OTA, but was able to manually update to Lollipop via the zip files posted in the thread I linked above. Worked a treat.
Try this. You'll have to scroll down but it might help.
