i just wanted to let everyone know that there is a rom out their that is unbranded and has everything from the title (internet sharing might lock up again if you are using att or an att mvno, i got it working again by doing the keyboard trick...Spanish and German.) wht i did was downgrade to roogers pre portico, then update to portico, and the download the rm-820 global black swap rom from navifirm. it all worked out pretty good. on the roms you have to remove the checksum from the file names (there is a post on these fourms describing what to do).
anyways good luck.
Can you list the full version numbers for those. I'd love to get tethering working.

Yes, please do! And is your tethering still working?
do the global black swap rom, i found it in navifirm - RM820_1232.5951.1249.1001_RETAIL_lta_lta1_266_01_129724_prd_signed, that is the version numbers.
and the rogers rom you can get from here:
RM-820_Rogers_Canada_VAR240202_v2_Black.txt
and yes my tethering still works, i have already used 700mb so far.
Installed the stock 4.4.2 update rom from santod040 since I need MHL to work and I can't find an app that works to enable wifi tether. I'm patiently waiting for the new viper rom 4.0.0, but I don't know of it will support MHL. Anyone have any luck getting the stock tether to work? Is there a way to change the entitlement check like on the Droid Bionic? Thanks in advance.

Did you ever get an answer to this?
Hey now!
I just rooted/flashed my AT&T Galaxy S5 with AllianceRom - Build 3 to use with T-mobile.
I would like to know if I can get wifi-calling and VoLTE to work with my phone with this ROM or would I need to download the stock Tmobile ROM in order for it to work?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Your post would fit better in your custom ROM thread, where 99% of the readers will be using the same ROM. Here, only a minority of people will have any specific experience with that ROM.
Does your custom ROM include wifi calling? Are people reporting wifi call success or failures in the custom ROM thread?
Has your custom ROM been updated to include the recent VoLTE update e.g. the equivalent of G900TUVU1BNF6? If so, you should be fine. You have a locked bootloader, but AFAIK that shouldn't interfere with wifi calling. You just need the features configured in the ROM.
Given your locked bootloader, you should do your research before you flash firmware from another carrier. Trying to flash a TMB bootloader, kernel or possibly even stock TMB recovery may put your bootloader in a position of having to choose between incrementing Knox or bricking your phone for you. And we're assuming that you wouldn't want that.

VoLTE is modem specific. If you don't have the T-Mobile modem, you won't have VoLTE (so unless you want a brick, do NOT flash the T-Mobile radio to your ATT device. You will NEVER have VoLTE) I didn't have VoLTE until i flashed the NF6 (first update to include VoLTE) modem. Even with a T-Mobile device. Once i flashed the full tar that included the modem to NF6, i got VoLTE. So you will never have that.
As far as WiFi calling, as long as its present in the frameworks and ROM, last i understood, it should work. I know when i had my S4 people flashed a T-Mobile ROM to their ATT S4 and had WiFi calling. So long as you have a T-Mobile SIM as well. Ensure the ROM supports it as fffft stated.

I think the ROM I installed is somewhat broken. Root/SuperSU isn't working. I will try a different ROM.

It's 'broken' on the AT&T phone at least. Root is broken and can't root using towelroot either.

If root is broken on your phone, then redo your root. It certainly isn't broken for all ATT phones. Nor is the Alliance ROM likely to be broken for ATT phones i.e. 900A either. And of course you can use towel root. It's a good habit to do a forum search before posting.. then you'd be able to pose better informed questions.
To use towel root, you simply have to use a pre June 3rd stock ROM as a base. If necessary, use Odin to write a pre June 3rd 4.4.2 ATT firmware to your phone.

I used towel root in the first place to get my phone to install roms. I've no problems with root with AT&T roms.
Forgot to mention but the Alliance rom that I tried to install was made for t-mobile so I can use wifi-calling/ISIS. That might be the reason why root doesn't work?
If anyone is able to install tmobile specific rom on their AT&T s5, please help me out.
Thanks!

Im on att s5 on tmobile alliance. all u need to do is rerun towel root and download busybox again. Once i did that everything worked correctly with root apps like titanium backup. Also good to know about the modem so that means we r f'd with volte unless the very unlikely att/verizon bootloader is unlocked.

I had the ATT gs4 using it with Tmobile and had the same issue and never solved it. Im not saying it cant be done but I was told I might be better off just trading my s4 for the tmobile version .. Ended up just buying a Tmobile s5 .. Also my bootloader was locked on my ATT s4 and that was reason enough to dump ATT . No kernels = No att for me
If you find a solution for wifi calling let me know. I do have a buddy with att s5 asking me about it

I posted the solution in another thread. Basically, with a combination of the OA1 ATT firmware, safestrap and Alliance Rom, you can achieve Volte and Wifi calling with a tmobile sim card on a G900A.
edit:
- added link
- be careful not to take the OC4 update from ATT, or it will not work.

You can go to About Device in the settings, and look at the last three characters of the Base version field. If you see NCE, ND3, NG3 or OA1 you're fine.
It seems that I can try to follow the instructions on this thread but not sure what ATT firmware I should be installing since new updates have been released since OA1. Can someone tell me if I should install entire Tmobile ROM including modem with Odin?
Guillaume2x said:
Guys, I have some great news. Both wifi calling AND VoLTE now work on my SM-G900A on the T-mobile network. Here is what I did:
I installed the latest ATT firmware (OA1), released earlier this February. OTA update did not work, so I had to flash the original firmware (ANCE) via Odin, and then flash the two subsequent updates using update.zip on the SD Card. This will remove safestrap and root, but fear not.
Once my phone had AO1 installed, I used this tutorial to root the phone again. It invonves temporarily flashing an earlier (ND3) kernel, using TowelRoot, and then reflashing the OA1 kernel
With my OA1 rooted, I installed safestrap. Make sure you install busybox first.
With safestrap, I installed the T-mobile Alliance Rom (build B4).
Seconds after booting, both Wifi Calling and Voice over LTE work!
Enjoy!
Guillaume

Can i do this? I have nc5, root , safestrap running hyperdrive 19. What needs to be done to flash a t mobile rom to the phone and be fully functional? I am using tmobile sim im my verizon phone right now
I believe you just need to insert the T mobile APN and set ur phone to gsm by going into Settings --> More Networks ---> Mobile Networks ---> and you can then set your network mode to GSM and enter the 4G T-Mobile APN's.

Since he's using a tmobile sim, I don't think he needs to change the apn's or gsm settings (since he's trying to use a tmobile rom on tmobile network) but wouldn't the problem be if the verizon s4 and tmobile s4 have different hardware/kernels or something like that?
I'm using a verizon s4 (hence me being in this forum ) on at&t, whenever I flash a rom from here I have to add the at&t apn settings since they all come with verizon settings. I have not tried any at&t roms, but I might since rom slots in safestrap are working now.
let me know if that works
PLEASE let's us know :crying:

No, may be that could solve the problem.
1.- Make a nandroid backup with safe strap 3.75
2.- Create a new partition beside Stock one, SS3.75
3.-Change to the New partion.
4.-Flash the new "Compatible ROM" on the new partition.
Those are the steps that I follow, I Thought that if I flash on the "stock partition" the problem can be solve but I haven't tried, I'll try on the week to see what happen If it work, MAY BE we can flash trough Odin the stock version of T-moblie, At&T(GSM networks)
and i9505 an d maybe we can have andorid L faster because i9505 is one of the international version.

Any follow up on this? I too am currently using a tmobile sim on a Verizon S4 and I have been wondering this myself. When I get a solid day to myself (no kid no work) then I will try a few things myself.
MDK bootloader here-- very interested in T Mobile's recently announced $100 2 lines unlimited everything promotion-- so all I'd need after signing up is a T Mobile SIM and then either a. Configure APN on my current VZW ROM or b. Install a T Mobile ROM? Would i need to flash Lokidoki too? Would i need to do anything with the radio? Currently on the VRUFNK1 radio.

I too had been running Hyperdrive with a T-Mobile sim but I never got LTE, just HSPA+ and no wifi calling. After tons of research, I have a i9505 (Tmobile) rom running on my Verizon S4 (i545) thanks to calebcabob.
I was able to get my vzw Galaxy S4 working with T-Mobile!! Here's what I did:
Be sure you're on a radio/baseband released from Oct 2013 or later - I used NK1
MAKE A NANDROID
Wipe Factory Data, Cache, Dalvik
Using CWM, I flashed @Fenny's T-Mobile based ROM found HERE.
VERY IMPORTANT!! Before rebooting, I flashed the Loki-Doki patch. Just search google for loki-doki zip, it's about 150kb is all
Reboot, let is sit 5 minutes and ta-da stock T-Mobile in perfect working order! Didn't have to touch the apn, it booted straight to LTE and wifi calling works perfectly! I couldn't have done this without calebcabob's help!
ok so i have the verizon s4 (hence me being on this forum lol). i am using mine on tmobile. if i root it and flash any of the verizon roms will it lose the unlock. i don't think it will since these are factory unlocked but i just want to make sure.
Thank You!!!

Thank you so much for this post! It worked great-- I'm on a Verizon S4 with the I545VRUAMDK bootloader-- I too, was able to get Fenny's M919UVUFNB4 T-Mobile 4.4.2 ROM running well with the Verizon I545VRUFNK1 radios.
So here's my question-- and I know it's going to come down to trial and error with NAND backups and restores-- are there any T-Mobile 4.4.4 ROMs that work well with the Verizon MDK bootloader and NK1 radios? For the record, I tried an M919UVUFNH7 based ROM thinking it would work (hey, NH7 should be lower than NK1, right?) but I got no signal or WiFi. Or would an altenate kernel have helped?
Am I stuck on slow shutter/fuzzy 4.4.2 camera forever?
I loved the VZW GPE ROMs-- and I may possibly be able to live without the WiFi calling feature-- are there any T-Mobile GPE ROMs that would work on MDK/NK1?
Hmm... a compatibility matrix might come in handy.

I too would love to know the answer to this question. I'm just so thankful to have T-Mobile working perfectly that I don't want to touch anything lol. Let me know the results of your testing though for sure! I've just used wanam xposed to customize the stock rom with Nova Launcher

The 4.4.4 GPE from Danvdh in the T-Mobile development area also works great on this VZW phone. When I first booted, it defaulted to MetroPCS APN. I simply switched to T-Mobile (settings, wireless & networks, more, mobile networks, access point names) and it took a few seconds but I received an LTE signal and all is well in the world. No Wi-Fi calling, but that's something I don't mind for now.

Ok here is what I did to get LTE on a Verizon S4 running a Verizon rom, as I too am currently on rooted NC5, safe strap, and Hyperdrive 19 with a T-Mobile sim. In a build prop editor I added "ro.vendor.extension_library=/vendor/lib/libqc-opt.so" without the quotation marks. This enables the mobile networks menu to have more options as I will show with a screen shot. It took a few times of switching back and forth from global, gsm only, and back to LTE/CDMA/GSM option. With a few restarts too, but it finally did it. At 1st it didn't take and I didn't even try again. I was about to start trying T-Mobile roms, but I randomly decided to just continue to switch back and forth, and BAM. LTE! I'm so glad I gave it another shot.
Hey all,
I got the ATT one M8 from the US. its has some nonworking features (like tethering\hotspot). I really need that option and I understand that flashing the Viper ROM will help.
However - my work requires my phone not to be rooted to get emails.
Is it possible to unroot viper ROM after I install it (meaning keeping the viper ROM installed but unrooting it)?
thank you in advance
Could try [email protected] xposed module not sure itll work but worth a shot

I saw on a thread a couple weeks back about a flashable zip that unlocks wifi tethering. Im sure a simple search will dig that thread back up for you. it seemed pretty simple to do.
I flashed a RUU on mine that installed factory att software (bloated of course) but wifi tethering worked on it.

Tethering will work on a stock device (or device which official RUU was installed) if your AT&T account permits tethering. But its a network based verification. So if you try to use the stock AT&T ROM on another carrier (which is sounds like the OP is doing) it breaks the WiFi tethering feature (unless you mod the phone).
The OP is in kind of a Catch 22, where root is needed for tethering, but his work doesn't permit root. So it seems WNC's suggestion (if it works) is the best bet.
Couldn't he just unlock bootloader and boot TWRP without flashing custom recovery or rooting device and run flashable zip?

Most custom ROMs are pre-rooted.
Thank you all for the replies.
I have given up on trying to find a stock ROM and just flashed the Viper.
Cant get work emails now - will try the root cloak .
and thanks again for AT&T for being so square as to not let people from other countries and carriers use their own phones features!
