Due to there being no root at the moment for the latest update MJ7, is there a way to get the Verizon S4 to work with a T-Mobile simcard. I know it has global mode on the phone, but is there a way to install tmobile rom on it or something in order to get it working like a tmobile S4?

There's lots of threads about this. For example, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46357210&postcount=1
Try searching this forum for "t-mobile".
I actually just popped in my Tmobile sim card and it told me that it is a forign sim for me to turn on Global mode, which I did. I then set up the Tmobile APN settings and got the 4G up and running.
See attached screenshot.

I have a pair of Verizon XT912's. One has been flashed with the nTelos stock firmware for the XT912 that they carry and has the ability to be activated and used on the network with all functions. It also does not search for the verizon 4g SIM. I have already done a nandroid backup on that phone and wrote it to the one that had verizon stock firmware. The firmware has been changed to ntelos on that second phone, but the radio is still stuck on Verizon. What I want to know is if there is a way to copy the nTelos radio and all of its CDMA settings to the Verizon one and have everything work?
Bump.

Just a few questions. Running Tmobile stock rooted on the I717 is great but makes me a bit nervous as to what i can and can't do with this phone. I am running the UVLG3 with the T879UVLG3 baseband. and just got an update notification. so was wondering.
1. If i update will it brick the phone. tmobile update as that is what the phone id ID'd as.
2. If i do update and all goes well, i am sure root will be gone. Can i just odin recovery image and flash root through that?
3. if there a way to get the phone to not receive the updates on this rom?
4. Since i have the Tmobile modem, can i flash 4.2.2 ATT roms or any other ATT roms or will that cause issues?
Thanks for the help, just want to get rid of the annoying update reminders in the notification bar.
My phone is rooted stock on the very first original ROM (forgot the version). I asked Sprint for GSM unlock, they sent the request, but it didn't go through. The "UICC unlock" option does nothing. Could it be because I'm rooted and/or on an old ROM? I didn't tell Sprint rep about the root.
Idk probably the root it mess with the system try flashtooling back to ZV4 and then try it but dont ota to ZV6 or else you'll lose root. Alsi they code/ method may be bad. What carrier are you trying to go to?

Thanks for the advise. I just figured out the problem- I froze a lot of bloat with TB, and it affected UICC. unlock. I did it a while ago, and it didn't occur to me right away to defrost before attempting to unlock.
I'm thinking about traveling to South America and want to use a local SIM card while over there.
OK well have fun, glad it works
However I'm not sure how to check that the unlock actually worked. When Sprint network is available, the phone will use it regardless of the SIM. I tried to install a T-Mobile SIM from friend's phone, and my phone came up with red X SIM icon in the status bar- the same as with no SIM.
Spring does not support unlocking.
Sprint does not support domestic sim unlocking but will allow international unlocking.
If you want to use another carrier then try out cloudyg3 1.2 rom or cm11 rom. You can use any carrier with them. Or else you have to modify your build.prop file and replace the ro.carrier.target from SPR to spr using the rom toolbox app and then you get a unlocked gsmphone.
maybe i've missed it tried searching high and low. I have a verizon s4 4.2.2. Build KOT49h.I545VRUF NK1. T mobile needs 4.4.4 and verzion never made 4.4.4 or it was quickly pulled i havent fount it i get everything except lte it shows up on the phone but when i connect to google i get a DNS error T-mobile told me they are up to 4.4.4. upgrading to lolipop will **** up everything. I know I have seen a caynogen mod that is 4.4.4 for verzion so all i need is root. has NK1 been hacked. towelroot wont work, Super su is just blocked from knox
My only idea and SO i heard is to use ADB and connect and delete knox one at a time all files. then downgrade, I tried ADB but my phone wouldnt connect dont know if I did something wrong but this "world phone" give me lte bars with t-mobile but i cant get lte without root or 4.4.4. phone and text is ok havent tried mms but because its tied to data I doubt it would work any advice or help for this old device? :good::crying:

Verizon's 4.4.4 was nc5. You can not go back to Cyanogen mod. Your best bet is to go to Stang's LP ROM, since that is lolipop.
note: I am on nc5 4.4.4
OK, so I originally bought this S9+ from T-Mobile in the US, and I had it for two years, then I unlocked it, and switched to MetroPCS by T-Mobile, which really didn't need me to unlock it for that reason because the sim still would have worked as it's the same network. I joined the beta and am on the final beta build, and I've gotten these updates from T-Mobile still. However, today T-Mobile finally released the finished version of Pie, but tons of people on Reddit that weren't in Beta are getting it, but us in Beta aren't getting it.
I'm currently on G965USQU3ZRLG, and I want to downgrade back to what the version was before I joined Beta so I can get the update. I know I'm a senior member and have been on here for a while, but I haven't really done much phone modding in years, and I'm getting older -- which is coming with a **** memory, lol -- and I forget how to do a lot.
I can downgrade with Odin to the pre-Beta version without tripping Knox right? The whole point of me doing this is I assume at that point when I go into my settings and check for an update it will be available, because right now I have nada.
Any help is appreciated.
I am on the same boat as you. I have an unlocked AT&T S9+ on T-mobile, it will not get the update what so ever. From what I have been reading the phone will not push out a official OTA carrier update unless you have an activated SIM from the carrier the phone was pre-configured to. I'm guessing you can either sideload or Odin the latest rom but I've haven't found a website that host either AT&T or T-mobile roms.

I'm trying to find the firmware G965USQU3BRJ5 because I can downgrade to it in Odin, then I should be able to download the Pie update normally, but every ****ing site with that firmware for download has a slow download if you're a free member, which will take like a day, and for a fast download you have to pay to become a member -- even on Sammobile. I tried to find that firmware download on here but couldn't. Ugh.
My best advice is finding someone with at active Tmobile SIM card that you can borrow for a few hours and giving it a try.
Update: I used Odin to downgrade to the firmware before the OneUI beta, and my phone was decrtyped, and Odin successfully flashed the old firmware, but when I enter my password it verifies it to decrypt, but it stays on the decrypting Icon with the unlocked padlock icon and the circle going around it forever, it's been 40 minutes and it's still on that same screen. Any ideas on how to fix this?
