Hey guys, so it's been a while since I've had a decent phone. My last was an M7 that was S-off, unlocked, and had a custom rom.
It's been a year or so since I've been in the scene, and I'd like some tips. Mainly because I'm seeing stuff left and right about
firmware on the M9, and so I don't want to flash anything before knowing what's what. I have a At&T unlocked M9 and my software version is 1.32.502.9. Running Android 5.0.2 Any info on Firmware, Rom requirements would be greatly appreciated. I'm good on
unlocking the boot loader and rooting. Thanks!
Please read the ReadMe thread for general information and the opening post of the thread of the rom that you want to use for specific information.

I currently have a GT-i9195T, which is a Telstra (Australia) variant of the i9195. I'm trying to flash a new ROM (pref CyanogenMod) but I'm getting highly conflicting information on whether it is possible on this model. I've searched numerous threads, websites and posts but all the information has been a mess.
Basically I'm looking for confirmation that it is possible on this phone, and help as to how to flash a recovery, rom and anything else needed to get it to work.
I've been flashing ROM's since the first days of Android, so I'm not entirely new to this but I have no experience with Samsung phones (which appear to be a little more complicated).
Has anyone successfully flashed a T model variant?
Hi folks,
I'm a bit confused after reading many threads.
I'm thinking of buying an ATT SM-T707A. But I don't want an unrootable device. The locked bootloader is very annoying but for the use I have in mind the lack of custom OS options isn't a big deal. But I need root.
So, I presume a new one from ATT or online will have (or rapidly update to) Lillipop. Is Lollipop rootable on the ATT 8.4 707A?

Hey,
I'd like to know this too please... the only way I have seen people rooting the T707A is with Kingroot - I just tried now and LP and it doesn't work
Cheers,
Su
Well in short I have an At&t Model GS4 the i337 its currently unlocked running on stock Nj4 and of course want to root it. First of all i suspect i need to use t mobile roms now that i am on that network.
Here is a list of questions and links are also appreciated as answers anything that helps!
First and foremost how should i root this (my last device was a G3) so if things are different please tell me also, I their an app or a thread you can point me to.
Secondly how do i update it to a v5.1 or the latest so updating them rom later is not a problem if i must use odin to do this (i want to use the latest to use odin the least)
Lastly anyone who can give directions on how to root and get to the latest version of android i wold greatly appreciate the time anyone spend to respond to this this post i TYIA
So any links that will work work with NJ4 I would be so happy I have only experience with the G3 I feel i know what to do with it but the Gs4 is new to me and i appreciate any help i receive/
Thank yo for reading this and TYIA for responding thank you for your help i hope its as simple as someone posting some links so i can do this easy i again thanks for leading me through the fog and TIA
@BeatnikBandit :
Basically, you're in the wrong forum. You'll need to get support fir the ATT version i337 over in the forum for that model. I used to have one, actually. I sold it on Swappa and got a T-Mo M919 S4 so that I could take advantage of all the AOSP ROMs for the M919. At least as of a year ago, there was no way to unlock the boot loader on the i337 and the only ROMs available for it were basically just skins on the TouchWiz kernel. ROMs, such as they were, used something called SafeStrap. Not sure if things have changed for that device in the year since I gave it up.
You can only use ROMs made for your model. So, even if the locked boot loader weren't an issue with the i337, its hardware is different from the Verizon or T-Mo variants. Using a ROM for a different model will give problems. On the T-Mo M919, there's a bit of an exception in that we're hardware comparable to the international variant, so we can often use ROMs for that one (9505 I think). Oh, and the M919 never got an official lollipop upgrade from T-mo before they gave up on it, so there are some issues with using LolliPop ROMs on the M919.
I'm sorry I can't help you with how to root, but presumably you will find that answer over in the i337 forum.
As for using the i337 on T-Mo, that should be easy enough. Just go in and enter the APN information for T-Mo (probably is in the T-Mo forum somewhere) in place of the ATT APN info and you should be good to go, presuming your phone is SIM-unlocked. Instructions on SIM-unlocking it should be in the ATT i337 forum, if you're not already unlocked. For example, when I got my M919, all I had to do to get it to work on ATT was enter the APN info from ATT, and BOOM I was on the network. I bought a pre-SIM-unlocked phone to avoid having to unlock it myself.
I hope this is at least a little helpful even if it's not all the answers you were hoping for.

Hello,
I have scoured this forum but the best that I could find was in this thread but sadly it is no longer active and all the links are dead

I need help in getting other radio baseband for my m8 as I am unable to connect/use to a LTE/3g connection in my country. I have read that changing my baseband might help to solve this problem. Therefore, can anybody upload the baseband imgs or atleast point me in the right direction. I would greatly appreciate any help that you guys can give me. Below are some of my phone details
Current Baseband version: 1.09.20.0926
Rom: SLIM ROM 6.0.1 alpha 10
S-off
Boot loader is unlocked
Please help
Yours is a Verizon device, have you check thru Verizon M8 forum ?
You should find your answer in correct forum .. what I can see that you have radio meant for KitKat 3.x but you're running Marshmallow ROM .. seems you skipped two versions.
The thread that you linked above has nothing for Verizon, only GSM
Good luck

I see, I will try asking for help from there...Thank you
in addition, it seems that you are saying i need to flash a stock lollipop or marshmallow first in order for me to update my baseband version, only then I can start using the custom roms. Correct me if I'm wrong though...
I don't say that. I said you need to update your firmware to the latest.
Your device is S-Off, you don't need to install stock then update, won't work when you're not on Verizon network.
Read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...pment/stock-m-firmware-nand-recovery-t3330972
I believe you only need the "Custom firmware zip that includes all M firmware and TWRP 3.0.0.1"
I'm not very familiar with Verizon, you can ask there, the basic idea is to have Marshmallow firmware, means latest radio.
Nothing much I can help here ... sorry
