Lollipop modem+bootloader - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

The dream come true for users that want to be able to flash S6 rom. Since tmobile is holding back on the upgrade and by the looks of it will not be releasing it as soon as we hope I wanted to see if anyone with an extra phone that is willing to to some test on a m919 that they have as a spare or maybe they upgraded .so in previous discussion that I had with i9505 there is a tmobile Germany bootloader and modem that may work for our m919 however without trying we won't know to see if this method will work. According to some post that I put on i9505 forum,users said that it may work so I am asking If anyone wants to flash at their own risk remember there is always that possibility that it could brick the phone. So I have all the files need if your interested to test let me know and I will send

Did you try OF2 bootloader? Have you succeed?
Edited:This is for i9505, it won't work on m919.

I9505 users say it should work but I don't have a spare to try it that is why i m asking for someone that isn't using it their phone to test

When I read their response to your question about this, I see they are not talking about T-Mobile s4 variants, they talking about T-Mobile network.

No one know until someone tries ...it's either success or fail we won't know until it happens but I am leaning toward success since i337 and i545 m919v are very different then our s4 but the closest is i9505 and with the same tmobile network as ours but from another country there is a that possibility that it might work

I have tried with no luck my friend Thanks anyway for suggesting this.

Note: Flashing a bootloader and modem meant for a different device can brick your phone. Bootloaders and modems are matched to each other as well as the specific model device it is meant for and signed by Samsung for that device.

DONT WANT A BRICK? Check here

As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.
Also wind mobile an Tmobile are interchangeable, just don't flash the modems.
ONLY FLASH THE ROMS IN THIS FORUM!

I second this, guys PLEASE don't risk it. It is not worth it. Right now I think most devs are working on their own ROMs, but we should have a patch soon to allow cross-compatibility.
think some peeps are confused by whats before tmo development. (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III) just my opinion but good idea on thread.
Mr Highway:
Could you start another thread for Windmobile Android Development?
In the past all Windmobile phones are just T-mobile phone rebadge.
In this case, it does not in terms of kernels....(and may be baseband)
I am working on this so that all roms will work on all carriers

i want to be in this AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III - xda-developers thread for everything correct ?
and not in the Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 thread ?
I keep seeing posts about ROMs that can work on these variants of galaxy S3s. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the ROMs supposed to be specific to GSM or CDMA? When I flashed windows based roms on my touch pro II, that was one of the things to look out for. Is it possible to create a ROM for all carriers?

Yes and no.
With the use of aroma-installer, we could set it up to detect your phone type (well, not we....I don't know that much about it but I saw the thread discussing this) and aroma would be able to install the necessary files based on your phone.
As of now, for instance, mine works across all GSM carriers. clark44 is current working to get everything switched up so it also works for Sprint (mostly appears to be the apk files and XML files) that are specific to the phone. As of now, he has it booting and working fine except there is a large rush of FCs on initial bootup but then everything runs fine.
I wasn't even aware you could make a patch to allow cross-compatibility! XDA never fails to surprise
Just a thought, but maybe they could do it like the SlimROM on multiple devices. He has a common base ROM and another flashable for each device supported. It works out perfectly and multiple ROMs for multiple carriers.
I figure it will be easier than doing it for different devices since I read that all the US variants are essentially the same. Not sure but worth a look.

Will there ever be any SGH-T999V development?
Does anyone think that someone with a SGH-T999V Wind Mobile variant will ever be able to root their phone so they can overclock the cpu, etc?
Why not? I am using a custom rom and overclocked to 1890 at the moment.
Just use the windows way to root. I knbow it works
I have not tried the toolkit.
If you are going to flash a custom rom just make sure it does not contain the boot, modem and amss file in the rom that you are flashing.

I'm more curious as to what exactly the differences are between the 2 variants (i.e. t999 vs t999v). What could possibly make them so different from each other that ROMs from tmobile wouldn't work on wind GS3?
What if you accidentally tried to flash i9300 rom and your phone is not turning on.
With the forums changed I accidentally flashed the wrong version rom on my phone. :crying:

After doing some research it looks like I have to fix it through jtag.
I think I could do it, but you need some expensive jtag box that connects to the computer(It's called the Riff Box), but it would be cheaper if I just sent my phone into here it costs $60. Not ideal, but not a complete disaster either. Unless there is some other way to JTAG I am out of options.

Are US and International Note II ROMs compatible?

The US variants wont have the multitasking bar. Can we root then flash the cooked international ROMs which provide this instead?
I've been meaning to ask this as well.
just picked up my Note 2 for T-Mobile and would like to know as well. i'm assuming yes since internally the US variants and international are the same except for the modem. i'm itchin to flash a rom on this...
i read post one thread they try flash G7100 rom over G7105 and got stuck in boot loop. You can search in general thread and find out
i specifically want to know about using a TMOB variant on AT&T
Ditto on the OP question...waiting in front of TMO US tore now and hoping to get ARHD 3.0 on this bad boy ASAP!
I sure do hope it would work...

Root is fine In my exp, but flashing international ROM gives you the wrong baseband and you loose cell services.

just don't flash the radio (modem). probably needs some RIL fixin' and what not. then i think these roms will work across most variants.
I believe it has something to do with isis. The rep told me that all SIMs are isis now.
To maintain security, I am guessing it has to be the TMO baseband.
I could be wrong.

that's easy. just flash the correct modem from the carrier. this is going to be fun.
Yeah, this should work just fine. Does anyone have the modem files?

thats because you flashed the sprint version of the ROM onto your S3. download the AT&T version, full wipe and flash.
but if its possible, i could intall the version of i9300 and it will turn into international version wont it?

NO! it will turn into a brick!!
only flash ROMs that are specifically for your device!
dude, you need to read up on all of this. check out the general forum. if your phone is an i747, then ONLY flash i747 ROMs.
dude you got me wrong . I know all about it but syneergy has published its att-sprint-us cellular version together. but i think its sprint based but available for all . and it screwed up my phone . I dont know how to come back. ı tried to flash cm att version but i couldnt .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179330
Step 5 in this thread has to do with flashing a ROM. download the CORRECT ROM and Gapps and follow those steps.
After you have completed that and have booted into the device fine (everything's correct and working), follow Step 4 on that thread to create a backup.

the reason i asked what release you were using was because certain versions of synergy dont work well with AT&T. the r290 and higher releases are supposedly working well.
if you used a release listed as r290 or higher then you might want to try a different ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499 i have flashed the latest version that is r373 . it turned my phone into what it is not but suprisingly it works like a horse

Don't mistake me as being "hard/rude"... but "know all about it" means you would've been careful in the first place, along with ways to come back in case of issue.
Like the previous poster said, you should flash only the ROM that's intended for the phone.
Also, a dev might release a ROM for all three carriers, but if you actually look into the OP of that ROM you'll realize that there is a version for each device.
Oh.i took it as my mistake.i shouldnt have said that. But i meant that i knew what he says but yeah ur right.i have no explanation for that. But i still cant see att version separetly ? Could you please link me

That's fine. Not an issue esp cos people here only try to help than finger point
Anyways, back to topic. If you do not see an AT&T version, I would suggest checking in the ROM thread itself. And if you still can't find it, it would mean there is no AT&T version. So you might be better off with one of the many AT&T specific ROMs here.
Okay thanks a lot for ur interest.im gonna give a few try more. And id like to say that even if my model nber is changed into sprint, my baseband number still shows that it is at&t . yeah its a bit confusing for me.anyways i will try to make it back and lets see if i can make it.
Problem is solved !!
I solved the problem through changing some parameters in built.prop like ''from d2spr to d2att and I used prop editor app ". http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828152 ....this link has the sample for att mobile phones. By this way, i succesfully changed the model number so that I could use att version stock rom to take everything back. I flashed att stock rom through Odin and its done !

You may have the wrong recovery installed on your phone. The synergy thread has specific instructions concerning which version will be installed and it being dependant on your specific recovery. It clearly says that if you get to the installer in the aroma...and your phones model is shown and is wrong...that you should install the phones proper recovery.

SGH-M919 is the T-Mobile variant, so it should be no problem.
The easiest way to go back to stock is to use KIES, but that will revert you back to V.
You can download stock and flash with ODIN. As long as it is stock T-Mobile and you have a T-Mobile account, WiFi calling will work fine.

No, the modem wouldn't be your problem. Since you are already updated to the official 4.4.2, you now have KNOX to worry about. If you don't care about setting the 0x1 flag, your best bet would more than likely be to flash a custom recovery and a modded/stock ROM specifically for the M919 from the Android Development section. You keep mentioning that you have a Nextel device... just to confirm, you have a T-Mobile SIM, correct? Because if not, WiFi calling won't work for you anyway.
Yup, I have a T-mobile account and the phone has a T-mobile SIM in it
I don't think that KNOX flag is an issue as it is an unlocked Non T-mobile phone.
If I have an issue with the phone at all T-mobile is not going to support it.
The model phone I have apparently is exactly the same as the T-mobile branded phone, when I registered it with Samsung they identify it as a T-mobile phone.

Yeah, most every ROM posted in the development section is stable, TouchWiz or AOSP. Just make sure you read the OP to confirm that whichever ROM has WiFi calling included as there are TW ROMs which have been ported to our device from other carrier's S4s.... Only those specifically for the M919 will have WiFi calling and it will be specified in the OP. I'm not going to recommend which ROM to flash, but from someone who's tried them all... you can't make a bad decision whatever you choose.

Yes, you can. The only S4 ROMs you should stay away from are those made for the i9500 and non-standard S4's (i.e. S4 mini, S4 Active, etc). Any other variant of the standard S4 (including the i9505G) is good to go; just use a kernel for your specific device. On that note though, the i9505 and M919 kernels are interchangeable, so there's no need to follow that protocol when using our ROMs for your device and vice versa.

Thanks bro for your reply, that's great to know and gained extra 150+ ROMs thread as well really good to use great ROMS in this section
After doing some research my question:
The reason I can't use this firmware is due to the fact that my current baseband is higher than the one I was attempting to flash.
I have FNE2 and was trying to flash FNB4?
Thoughts?
Still looking to do this did anything change here? Has anyone successfully with flashing this with the stock ROM?

convert T-Mobile to International

Hi, is there anyway I can convert a Galaxy S6 Edge from T-Mobile to International variant? I used to own a HTC One and I could simply change the CID and MID to be able to install different ROMs and firmwares form other Htc One variants.

I routinely used International Roms on my Tmob S5 no issues. Simply root then flash whatever. The Tmob variant used the Qualcomm processor so one had to just make sure they flashed the correct International version, which as far as Tmob goes, was the KLTE International model.

Never really a good idea here on XDA asking "What is the best ROM". It is so early in the game right now I would just watch the Forum posts here and on the XDA International site for ROMs as they come out from various developers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general
Here is a link to the general section for the Samsung galaxy S6 which references the International site. Plus I have no clue at this time if they will be mixing and matching S6 vs S6 Edge Roms, just because the Edge obviously will have a few more capabilities. Again, this is way too early in the game to be even thinking about a 'best Rom"
Also interested to know if it can be converted to international so I can get international updates instead of waiting for Tmobile to push it out. Flashing roms is a no-brainer. Now that all S phones have the same hardware, I'm interested in straight conversion like HTC phone(s) are able to do.

if I understood correctly , I have G920T (from T-Mobile US), I'll be able to upload the firmware of an international G920F. Settings of LTE will change just as it has a model F ?
What about the wifi calling? You would lose this with the international rom wouldn't you? I had actually been thinking about getting the international (for the green that us disenfranchised Yanks don't get) and then putting tmo software on it.
Considering we have TWRP it should be a matter of time until we are running international roms. If I wasn't going to work I would be flashing it now

I'm wondering if I should attempt to flash an international rom. We do have twrp of course and if anything weird happens it is an odin fix away granted.
I guess I'll be intrepid and try it out. I sort of need to have an int'l rom because I also need to sim unlock the device

Try it out and let us know. Watch out what you flash I'm Odin and take a backup. I'm on way home and since I took a backup already I'm gonna try flashing the Int'l debloated rom after awhile.
