so i left verizon, due to service coverage at work, and am wondering can i flash a ATT ROM now that I'm using GSM sim ONLY now? if so, any special way of doing it or just flash as normal? thanks a ton.
I think that world actually work. The ROM would have the Att modems inside. I would look for one that has the APN settings unlock just in case. Back up always and please report back.

Why don't you just turn it into a global phone? There's a great video on YouTube

For any one interested I have successfully flashed att rom to my Verizon note2 with no additional steps needed. This is only good for someone using the gsm side as there now no option for cdma. But just letting everyone know

Does LTE work on your verizon note 2, now that it's running att rom? Or just EDGE for data?

I'm having GPS issues on Verizon ROMs as well, it's just something that happens no matter what you flash.

Does anyone know if there is an AT&T modem flashable zip for the N4 converted LGOG? I'm using .33 modem now, but I'd like to have the AT&T modem for better LTE speeds.
Also, is there development out there for an AT&T modem with working GPS? I don't mind having .33 and AT&T modems both on my SD card and flash whichever one I need based on GPS/LTE, but it would be nice to have only the AT&T modem so I don't have to switch back and forth.
Check you're pm

This is interesting - I'm running the .33 modem and find that me GPS works the best with this modem and with LTE I've hit download speeds of 53MB.
I'd be interested to have the AT&T modem as well just to see if there is performance difference between the two - could I get it as well?

Do you have a ADblocker installed? You know one that modifies host files? I had that and when I reverted them to stock I got my connection all back..
Nope, unless one is included with PA.

hmmm...man, you may just want to start from scratch and download the ROM of your choice and wipe/format /system and all the usual stuff.
THat would be the first place I would start with an issue like this.
Just noticed with the ATT modem I can choose the network mode (gsm,etc) but the other ones don't give the option and also when searching for network ATT modem shows two possible ATT connections, others show one.

So I formatted system and still having the same problems, what APN settings are you guys using? I've searched and tried many but none worked. Thanks

He was probably successful because the Bell device is not "protected" from running unsigned boot.img and recovery.img like the Att device is.
It may not be "protected" against writing a custom system image but it is not clear to me how to dump the stock one in order to modify it.

I tried with Odin also and it just said FAIL. I have an unlocked Mega and an AT&T Mega and I tried all of these root methods. I also tried SuperOneClick and Motochopper just for the hell of it and those didn't work either.
There is this model SGH-i527. The i527M is made specially for Bell, it's normal not on Sammobile:

I just tried Motochopper that works on any model using Snapdragon 600. It failed but it did install a non working superuser so it might be close.
It works on the S4. If it could be made to work with ours would be great. It's a very easy install...don't even have to go into download mode.

That doesn't work on the S4 after the MF3 update. However, there is this:
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-root/how-to-root-for-verizon-galaxy-s4-on-build-vruame7/
Which I have been meaning to try on my AT&T Mega, since it is running a very similar software build.

Fails on the device detection. I527 not supported.
Yup, fails on detection. This is very frustrating.
Damn, but you know, if the S4 can be rooted, the i527 can also.
I don't really care about the ROMs so much, because I have flashed so many and still have other devices I can play with. But, I would like to root to delete all of the ATT stuff that I will never use and is taking up space.
Keep the faith....it will come.

Agreed. I can live without custom ROMs for now. I just want root so I can delete bloatware and restore my Titanium Backup.

I think you would be better off trying the At&t S4 root . Rather than Verizon root.

What exactly are you asking for? To port the ROM from the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 to the Verizon variant? Why would you want to do that?
If you want to use T-Mo's network, install a T-Mo SIM.
Rom so it can work good with their network .... and i ready have a sim

The tar file for Odin cannot be used to downgrade due to bootloader. Much like the ruu on most HTC phones won't allow a downgrade due to locks in the bootloader.

Yep....your only option would be safestrap and a few roms compatible to run with it.
safestrap enabled, Hyperdrive driven
Or root and clean it up. I did even though I hate stock. TW and Sense are both horrible. VZW and carriers make it worse with the bloat. Root, delay and freeze. I even deleted VZW apk files so I didn't have to worry about them running. I'm on straight talk though, so I wouldn't need them anyway.
