Hello All,
I just picked-up a VZW S4 from a guy who purchased it a few months ago but since decided he wanted to return back to his Apple phone ...
Anyways, I'd like to use it on T-Mobile. I popped in my T-Mobile SIM, edited the APN, and voila, it works.
Now, I'd like to apply a ROM which can enable the Wi-Fi calling offered on T-Mobile as well as enabling the Wi-Fi Hotspot that doesn't have any restrictions.
Key Question - Is there any Multi-Carrier ROM out now that can install on the latest VZW Baseband Update (I545VRUFNK1)?
Please let me know, thank you!
Questions should be in Q&A section not development section.
Thanks, I just posted it over there!

Hey all. I recently got the International Google Play Store edition of the S4 and was wondering if it is in any way compatible with Verizon? I'd originally signed up with T-Mobile a week or so ago, but am getting really terrible service and hoping to switch. I did a network search and it only came up with T-Mobile & ATT, but could that be because I have a T-Mobile sim in? Tried running in to the store a couple days ago and they popped in a Verizon sim and it didn't work, but I was also using a custom ROM that was in a very early experimental stage. Not sure if that'd effect it. Have since flashed back to stock, but haven't had a chance to run back in to Verizon yet. Thanks in advance for any help/advise.
VZW uses CDMA network. Only VZW version has CDMA radios for VZW network.

I'm surprised they even tried a sim at the Verizon store. No, the GE version doesn't have the right radios for Verizon's network, and there is no Google Experience S4 sold for Verizon. You could go with AT&T, or sell the phone back and get the Verizon S4.
After 10 years with Verizon, I had enough (long story)... Switched over to T-Mobile recently with my Verizon Galaxy S5 Phone, however I have a few questions.
When I was on VZW I was able to root with towlroot, installed xPosed, and removed the Verizon bloatware. I then inserted the SIM from T-Mobile and made adjustments to the APN. It all seems to be working fine. I understand I will not get the full bandwidth, and I am OK because it was not worth $600 to purchase a new phone (Actually 3 new phones).
My questions are:
1) Should/Can I install SafeStrap and use one of the T-Mobile ROM, Kernals, etc... to be a "true" T-Mobile mobile phone?
2) Are there any T-Mobile specific APK's I should have?
3) I assume I can not get the wireless calling which T-Mobile uses?
4) Any other tips and trick from people that did the same thing?
So far happy with T-Mobile. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thank questions answered. I will search around.

So I recently moved an VZW S4 over to AT&T Go for a friend. So far everything is mostly working fine running Eclipse ROM (VZW ROM). But I am wondering on a few things here as even on global mode with the AT&T Go APN's inserted at best we're both seeing HSPA+ but most of the time it's staying on 3G connection. Text and phone are working fine.
1 ) Should I swap out the NC5 modem for an AT&T one?
2 ) Should I swap out to some kind of AT&T ROM like the Safestrap version of the S4 Google Edition ROM?
Any input would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
Bump so this doesn't get lost.
Another bump I really could use help here.
Hi everyone. I am new to the site and the forum. I can't express how grateful I am to all the contributors... I have been doing a fair amount of reading. Still haven't been able to find answers to some questions.
I have an S4 with OF1 ROM. I have been able to root it using KingRoot. I have recently moved to the UK.
My questions are:
1. My phone never picks up a 4G signal, even in areas where my wife's phone does. How can I get around this problem?
2. How do I get rid of the annoying "SIM is not from Verizon" message?
Apologies if these have already been answered.
If you rooted then you can flash Stang5litre's ROM to delete all the Verizon bloat with flashfire (my reccomendation is the Ultranote 5 edition)

Hey there, you have to keep in mind that VZW S4 only supports LTE band 4 so, make sure your carrier has LTE on that band
