everything works but data. calls & texts work, messed with it earlier. shouldnt take to much to get data to work. its buttery smoooth too
also, make sure you flash a loki'd kernel with it. any tw kernel will work, i used faux 006.

So if this is official Tmobile, does it have a working Infrared in AOSP?
I started a proof of concept port about an hour ago. I'm busy with another port but figured why not try it out

As far as I know, the GE doesn't currently support IR. That's only what I've read though. Haven't flashed and tested yet, just made a nand and backed up my apn's through tibu to try to get data working.
So I flashed this and I got a error the I had unauthorized software on my phone and I had to take it to the nearest Verizon store

Sounds like you didn't flash a Loki'd kernel, as advised earlier. Time to Odin, and start over.

you should still be able to get into recovery and flash a kernel.

As Mikey advised, see if you can get into recovery, first, and see if you can flash a kernel, if not, then Odin is always an option.

You are either joking and that is very funny, or you are never permitted to flash anything ever again.
One or the other.
Might want to change the kernel link in the OP to the Verizon version. Flashing the tmo version on our phones doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

Latest(05/02/2013) ATT UCMD3 modem in flashable zip.
Here is Download Link!
So can I flash this over any ROM? I think the UCMD3 is just a radio, but want to make sure before I do something stupid!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Edit: I was too eager to try it as a solution to my AT&T connection problems, so I just went ahead and made a nandroid, then flashed through TWRP. Worked fine after unchecking "Verify signature" or whatever and I'm able to connect to cellular. Just need to use it a while and see if I keep getting dropped.
(Installed this over CM10.0.)
Im getting a broken link.

There are several more modems this of course was just the most recent. But I believe some folks were having better success with the older modem/basebands for example UCLD3. So you may want to try another if this one doesn't work for ya.

Most people have to try the modem to see if it has ill effects with their particular ROM. I just tried it with only-one-ics and it's working fine. If it doesn't work for you, you can just flash back from your backup or from another modem zip.

Hi guys.
Here is the update.zip for MI5. I have taken the liberty to remove the firmware (bootloader,trustedzone,etc) from this just incase Samsung is trying to pull something. I'm posting two versions, one with the firmware and one without. Appyling this update.zip caused my phone to not boot with the updated kernel. I had to revert back to the MI3 kernel in order to boot up. I'm assuming this is due to either root, or me removing the firmwares. That is why i'm labeling this as dev.
NOTE: DO NOT FLASH THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR PREVIOUS KERNEL AND CAN RESTORE.
NOTE2: You can safely flash the Update WITH previous kernel once it goes live.
Update with no firmwares:
MI5 Update NO bootloader
Update with firmwares:
MI5 Update FULL
Update with previous kernel:
COMING SOON
Thanks. If I don't see a new TAR this weekend I'll patch the modem so it can be flashed via Odin.

When you are in TWRP, the "boot" check box, is the kernel. So, when backing up or restoring, as long as that box is checked, the kernel should be backed up (or restored).

We have been trying all day to get the update... It is not yet available for me or freeza.
if you would like too return to stock, and if you get the OTA. let us know...
we can walk you through pulling the files, and uploading, so either myself or freeza can make a flashable for everyone. I also spoke to Garwyn, and he doesn't have the OTA yet either. It also isn't posted on Sammobile, and it isn't available in Kies yet either...
Be patient. Obviously, we will be posting stock rom, odin restore, and update zips/. these things just take time.
I know there are not alot of us around here, but I know of a few guys that are running a Verizon S4 with A T-Mobile SIM card.
I have been running Verizon ROMS and getting 95% functionality. Service is weird, but works most of the time with a few area's that I have to manually go into gsm mode to keep data. BUT I may have found a work around for all of it.
I am running a the i9505 4.4.2 TW ROM GoldenEye, nothing was changed in the ROM to make it work better with Verizon. I posted a thread to let other people know about it here and it is working for some, and it is failing for others with APN problems, but it was/is 100% working for me with no changes to settings at all. I installed, Loki-Dokied, and booted up to 4G automatically running. I got LTE by changing one word in the APN.
SO I need a couple guys who are running a T-Mobile sim in their i545 to test this method for me and see if I just got really lucky or if we have a winner here.
I will put the how to in the next thread.
***I take no credit for the work on this ROM or the Loki-Doki fix***
**I take no responsibility for you phone becoming a paper weight**
*You preform this at your own risk*
:highfive:
#1 You must be on the MDK boot loader, radio's don't matter but newer radio's seem to have a more stable connection.
#2 Do a Nandroid, you can never be to carful
#3 Do a full clean wipe like your supposed to...
#4 Flash GOLDENEYE VERSION 24 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427629 (The ROM)
DO NOT REBOOT (you will get an unauthorized boot loop)
#5 Flash http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407577109 (The Loki-Doki)
#6 Reboot and let it sit for 5 or 6 minutes
#7 ????
#8 PROFIT
Report back here with any info or updates you guys have. I have tried a couple other i9505 ROMs with limited success but working together we might find some other ROMs this method works with. Also in the ROM thread iB4STiD has included links to remove a lot of bloat and additional mods.
To get LTE go into your APN settings adn change "epic.T-Mobile.com" to "fast.T-Mobile.com" The data icon wont change to LTE, but I am getting 26 Mbps
Give credit where it is due:
The ROM was created by: iB4STiD
Loki-Doki was created by: TheAxman
Both cool guys who gave me the go ahead to post their work.

And I am on the MDK bootloader in case you were wondering.

If you read the thread for the EagleEye ROM in the OP's second or third post he mentions that the bootloader is not included. That is why I origionaly had it in my OP my lack of sleep and my smoking habits didnt allow the info to sink in right away while I was typing. I was in the process of editing my OP when you posted originally.
ROM's do not include the boot loader. Your bootloader if MDK will stay MDK no matter what ROM you flash.

Roms do not have bootloaders, your phone does. Which was my point. If you have an mdk phone you have an exploitable bootloader. They are not packaged in the rom nor can they be removed from the phone. I just find it interesting that someone posting a ROM for testers ( as well as you, the tester ) doesn't seem understand this....

Haha, my warranty is nonexistent as I bought the phone outright from swappa and am now on T-Mobile. I understand the gist of what having the MDK bootloader means along with how great it is to have the exploit djrbliss made available to us. Just never knew that bootloaders weren't attached to ROMs lol, but now I know. Again, many thanks for giving this noob some much needed insight .

I am by no means a developer, I am just a dumb ass who stumbled onto something that works for me through trial and error and listening to other dumb asses who tried stuff on their phones, and I was hoping it would work for others. Test it, don't test it, what ever.
To be honest I have no idea what a boot loader is, I know what boot loader I am on and I know that some smart guy exploited it to allow us to replace the software with something some other smart guy came up with. I know that the newer ones haven't been exploited like mine and that's why they can't do as much as MDK guys can. Hell I don't even really know what safestrap does but from my razr days I know it allows people to install different ROMs.
Bottom line, I am just a guy using other peoples work to try to help some other people not "error" as much as I have and enjoy their device a little bit more...

I'm running on TMobile. I actually have been since we first started discussing the 4.4 TW roms on the i545. I've had no issues and didn't have to enter any APN settings.
The ROMs we are flashing, Goldeneye for instance, do not include the bootloader. If we were flashing Samsung images then bootloaders and modems would probably be included, and would probably brick the phone since we'd be flashing incorrect sw. That said, as long as you are on the MDK bootloader, exploited by Loki, and running a custom recovery, then following the steps in the OP should work for you. If you get stuck in a bootloop, it's probably a kernel error. Loki-doki should solve that for you. If not, that's why you have your Nandroid back right

I am going to DL and flash soon as I get off work.
Seems to be working for me...
I am using a t-mobile SIM and am still on MDK. I followed the instructions in the OP, and the phone appears to be working. No other mods, themes, etc. other than the OP. SMS, MMS, Data all appear to work. Speeds seem consistent with LTE, but no way to know.
On initial boot, however, I always get this message: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". However, after accepting the message, the phone appears to work normally. It may have something to do with the dark dialer theme that appears to be part of this ROM. I have seen that message before...

Those on MK2 With safe strap and want to get rid of Touch Wiz ( which I do -.-) Get the Illusion ROM for your Galaxy S4 (Verizon). That's all. Except the only bug/s is WiFi doesn't even if you try flashing the MK2 Module's. And those On AT&T, T-Mobile, Straight Talk, NET10... Etc using there Verizon Galaxy S4 will not get Data to work. I have Straight talk and tried everything to get Data to work. I've flashed all Carrier Roms (the AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and U.S. Cellular) together and see if that would help. Nope. But Messaging (just SMS) works and so does calls and Voice Mail (xD)
And if someone could extract this and try making another AOSP ROM that works with MK2 (or SafeStrap) and make CM11/10 to work, that would be excellent!

Its 4.2...mk2 is 4.3...is it possible to flash 4.2 modules on latest safestrap?...this is pretty cool to see even partially working aosp for SS users...might make a point of getting hashcodes attention on this...he may be able to fix WiFi and such or figure out what's allowing it to work and implement it in other ROMs...nice find
I was bored, so I started installing random ROMs and Walla... A AOSP ROM working!
And I Dont know... Crazy things happen in Life O.O

Possibly
If they could break down this rom and figure out how it works with safestrap we could possibly get all asop roms working:laugh::good:
And if I had a debit card I'd give all my money to the person that breaks it down

If you guys are on 4.2.2, it would make since if it was a gpe rom, as gpe was somehow compatible with 4.2.2 safestrap. If I remember correctly, someone said that the differences between the kernels was negligible and could boot with the tw kernel.
I would say its safe to assume that its actual AOSP seeing that it uses the CM kernel source (or at links to it on the OP), however, there are no accounts in the thread of the rom cook saying that it is AOSP, only other posters.
Haven't tried to download it yet, but I'm going to convince myself that you guys are just pulling a sick April fools prank.

Well so far it's AOSP ROM. It has pure android, the weight of the zip is so light and if. And yes, A Dev did say it wasn't compatible with any AOSP ROM's. But I found a ROM that works! I'll post some screen shots of the AOSP ROM. And if it says AT&T its because I have a Straight Talk Sim Card in it.
So far people are eager with this. If we can get more people's attention we can probably get Hashcode to see what's making this ROM work on AOSP

The android build is not necessarily the same as the BL just so you know.

Is there another possible way?

I believe theres an app that does it.
To anyone wanting to do this, I did it and its not booting into the system. Idk if theres a very special case or what. In recovery it is saying I have the kot49h kernel. Until I boot, Im still assuming its an april fools prank

Well that happened to me as well. It wouldn't boot up to the system so I booted up to the actual Odin Flash and it said Volume Up=Continue and Volume Down=Cancel(Restart) and then I did the Volume down and it got into the system. Well I hope that helps!

No there not dirty flashing after loading up the GPE ROM. Just confirm everything is working and then make a backup of the GPE in case you ever need to use this " ridiculous fix" again ..... Good luck!

I really have no idea...I saw that someone stumbled on the fix a few months ago and it has worked for everyone since.
Actually I believe there was some theory that vzw is looking for phones running non OEM software (AOSP) and noticing something once the first text is sent. After that they could block the phone from sending more texts. Just a theory though and no idea why going to the GPe ROM and then back to CM would fix it...
